Editorial Review for Real Food Daily – by Steven Grimm

The Scene
Chef Ann Gentry spreads her vegan roots from the original Santa Monica location to West Hollywood, where the hip hang with yoga masters, microbiotic dieters valet their SUVs and trendsetters mix with torchbearers. The swoopy Seuss-meets-Ikea interior would make the Lorax relax after a hard day speaking for the trees.

The Food
The juice bar slings mostly carrot-based drinks mixed with apples, refreshing cucumbers or beets. Teazers are sippable, juice-infused tea sensations served straight up, martini-style. Though Real Food Daily offers plump, textbook legume burgers and veggie burritos, it also breaks new ground with innovative daily specials that go according to season (think mini pumpkins stuffed with couscous and squash in the fall). But the Buddha Belly and Bermuda Triangles sort of fail at gourmet tempeh--one cloyingly sweet, the second cotton-mouth inducing with its cornmeal crust. Stick with the classics: You can't go wrong with the salads and anything seitan soars--the spongy "wheat meat" is served in both gravy-drenched Salisbury and spicy fajitas. The lemon tofu cheesecake and chocolate-colored carob pudding earn a rich place among vegan sweets.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I love this place!... It truly is my home away from home considering I eat here almost EVERY DAY!. The food is amazing and so are the staff. Is it sad when you go eat at the same place so much that they know you by name? Anyways If you are vegan or just enjoy GREAT food this is the place for you! Try the Salisbury Seitan! it is sooo good! I eat it almost every time I go. R.F.D also has one of the best vegan dessert menus ever! so if you have a sweet tooth ask them what they have for that day.

Pros: great food and staff.

Cons: sometimes can get a little cramped with all the tables so close together.

The food is really good, so I guess cheers to the cooks because they really know how to do their thing, but the service is terrible. It seems like they just randomly picked high school drop-outs off the street with no customer service skills and told them to act snooty.

Pros: good food

Cons: service

You can still eat like a beast at L.A.'s premier organic vegan spot that says "no" to all animal products.  See the full editorial review.
