The Fit Post

One of the benefits of having ‘healthy living’ enter the NYC trend scene, is that restaurants are now paying closer attention as to how they can transform sterile tofu and broccoli stalks into a medley of tastes, colors and smells.

Gobo, a vegetarian restaurant that creates “food for the five senses,” incorporates Zen compassion with global organic cuisine.  Aside from the food being fresh and filling, the interior space is sleek with light stained wood and includes an organic juice bar.  During this visit, I had the five spice tofu rolls with mango puree ($6), pine nut vegetable medley with lettuce wraps ($13) and soy filet with coconut curry rice ($19).  The next time I go back I’ll plan to bring a larger group of friends so we can order several items to try tapas-style.

New Yorkers would expect nothing less from Gobo considering that the leading chefs, Darryn and David Wu, are the children of founding partners of New York’s Zen Palate.
