bold flavors, healthy and wholesome dishes, great patio

by LDonnell

This restaurant is amazing! Great patio. Great menu. I'd recommend sitting quickly to check out the menu before you order at the counter. Quick service. Great variety. Try the Jamaican spinach patty or shrimp tacos. Their salads are huge. The blackened tofu dish is very healthy, filling, and tasty! Their homemade fries are delicious but expect a 15m wait for them, as they are made upon order. Great bold flavors. Don't miss out on their smoothies. You'll want to return, and soon. Easy parking in the back. Best of all, it's affordable! Check it out asap.

• Pros: everything on the menu is delicious, affordable, great patio
• Cons: youll want to order everything

Simple Wholesome is such an amazing Reaustaurant I wish we had one in our town. My husband is a vegetarian and the food is so well prepared and tasty. When we are in town we frequent the reastarant for smoothies,veggie platter meals, and the best thing they have on the menu spinich patties and also available in curry chicken. Yummmy !!! It is one of the best vegetarian reaustarant and shops I have ever been to.... Prices and Staff are great too. Thank you Simply Wholesome!!!

Check your order

by marijane

This restaurant is a gem. However, make sure you thoroughly check your take out orders. They regularly forget a meal.

• Pros: Great food in an underserved community
• Cons: Can't enjoy food you don't receive

A Great Place to Start a Healthy and wholeswome Life style.

by kahu1

If you have experienced the simply wholesome experience then good for you keep coming back. If not you should stop by and try the simply wholesome experience with delicous food for what ever your taste or just visit to see what the fuss is about. As a first timer I have yet to speak to a on site nutritional counselor and get a more indepth experience and understanding on the simply wholesome experience. I enjoyed the friendly atomosphere and helpful staff. I also, enjoyed a nourishing energy drink.

• Pros: Ambience, service
• Cons: parking, and availability of space for staying customers

One of my Favorite Spots

by danita24

I use to live in Los Angeles. When I became a vegetarian I was on the search for a vegetarian restaurant that served tasty, healthful foods; Simply Wholesome provided me with just that. The staff was great! I've recommended this place to any relative/friend that travels to that area. Keep up the good work!

• Pros: Quick Service; Optional patio seating; Great live music (at times)
• Cons: Can get a little over crowded

Best Soul Vegetarian in L.A.

by okier

This place is great. Vegetarian food made with soul. I especially enjoy the fish tacos and Caribbean spinach patties. If you have a sweet tooth ask for an all natural smoothie that's made to order.

I always bring friends from out of town both vegans and carnivores and the response is the same FANTASTIC!

I love it!!

by shi2006

I do not have a clue why that person gave a bad reveiw or what SHE has experinced, but my experiences have been nothing but pleasant. I know of no other place that serves flavorful vegan desserts as well as dinner food. I am hooked!!

I live in San Diego now and (call me crazy) I will gladly drive the distance, making a day of it, when I crave one of their spinach patties :)

They also have a great vegan BBQ burger with avacado and sprouts...mmmm

Also, 'Uncle Eddies Cookies" are great, they are sold in the store part.. they are delicious.

It is kind of small and not really for kids for lack of space.

Better to order and take home.

• Pros: Parking, Inexpensive, Meat / Vegan
• Cons: Often Crowded

Great, fresh menu!

by virtue1979

Though the market itself is very small (not comparable to Trader Joe's or Henry's, let alone Whole Foods), the restaurant is great! Fresh, healthy food that actually has a taste! Healthy food does not have to be bland. I love the way they incorporate afro-caribbean flavors! A must have for me whenever I'm in L.A....

• Pros: Great, helpful staff, Nice patio ambieance, Decent prices/portion
