Had the chicken lime rice plate, it was very tasty and fresh. Healthy and delicious. I will definitely come back! Friendly staff too.

I got the spicy chicken and it’s truly just as good if not better than a lot of fine dining restaurants I’ve been to. My first bite of the chicken had my eyes rolling back. The skin was so crispy and the meat is tender. (I think they use the thigh for this plate.) The sauces, spices, flavors, textures are so good. And the sweet potato was probably cooked in coconut oil so it really compliments everything so well. Yum yum yum! The person who took our order was super sweet as well. We sat outside and worked on laptops. Comfortable and quiet outdoors. No bad smells from trash cans nearby. No bugs or annoying crowds. Music level at a good volume. No complaints about this place.

Found this place about a year ago during the fires and have been loyal ever since. Best burritos in LA and the salmon plate is delicious. Always great energy there, a couple of employees know my name now and I love that about a restaurant. The only thing I would say is it’s a bit dated, it’s clean but could use a little updating on the decor.

Love this spot! Make a point of stopping here whenever I have extended time in Santa Monica. The food feels light and energizing (big fan of the Spicy Calabrian Caesar), the team here is friendly, and the music is always vibey. Love the patio area in the back. Highly recommended for a fast casual fix.

It’s a no for me. Ordered the *vegan far west salad and it’s simply not good. The harmony of the flavors simply did not come together. Firstly the lettuce is way to big with full pieces of broccoli in it. It made it really hard for the dressing to coat everything. Is that canned beets? Nasty color and taste on the beets permeated everything. The veggies felt unfresh and WHY IS THE BREADED CHICKEN COLD AND MIXED IN? Why not cook the chicken nice and hot and put it on top of the salad? The breading got soggy quick. Pro: Nice service inside the store, they forgot to put any utensils in my to go bag but were kind about rectifying. I used to machine to order and got a discount for first time of $7. So I only paid $10+ for the salad.
