foodie finds :: temple in the village

temple in the village
74 w 3rd st
(bet. laguardia & thompson)
new york, ny 10012

tried out this place based on a suggestion from a friend - i didn't know what to expect but was quite pleased. had it not been suggested - i would have never ventured in to try - pretty nondescript - and i'm always suspicious of buffet-style places (you never know how long the stuff has been out). anyway - tried it - not bad at all - various selections - all vegetarian and pay by the pound. i tried a little of everything i could identify. of all the things i had - i liked the spinach salad and sprout salad the most and disliked the kale with sesame (it was gritty like it had not been washed enough before preparation). not too bad - $10 for a healthy portion of food an a bottled tea from the selection they had. in all - it was a pretty 'crunchy' experience - very natural with a surprising punch of flavor.
