Amazing, innovative and tasty - Edit
What a great treat to be here. From their drinks, starters, main dish to desserts, everything is outstanding in taste and presentation. The owner Plern is a very friendly and kind person. No refined sugars and other nonsense in the food. Whether you’re planning a date night, casual lunch or dinner with friends or a family night out, this place is sure to please vegan and meat eaters alike ( without any meat)!! Highly recommended!!

Not bad at all… - Edit
This vegan kitchen certainly delivers. The “Drunk Cauliflower” and “Kurt Brussel” appetizers were amazing. I had the “Sunset Strip Burger” which was great and it came with very tasty truffle fries. My friend had “My Son’s Pho” and was very satisfied. The restaurant is quaint and service was very good.

Good Quality Vegan Joint - Edit
Top of the line Sunset Burger with fries made to perfection. Every-time, never failed and consistent in preparing. Quaint ambience, customer service excellent and parking can be tight.

Variable Cafe - Edit
Top notch vegan food. The cauliflower appetizer was so delicious and loaded with flavor. “My Son’s Pho” was just what the doctor ordered for me since I was at the end of feeling unwell. The broth was flavorful and delicious. My only wish would have been for thicker noodles instead of thin. Nice iced matcha. Super friendly staff!

Simple vegan cafe with excellent food! - Edit
Strip mall location with free parking. Cannabis store two doors down if you're not hungry enough. Absolutely charming server (Joel), so welcoming and accommodating. Menu offers wide variety and something for everyone. All dishes ordered arrived as advertised and were delicious through and through. Very special burger, super healthy and tasty rice bowl with tofu skewers, med. spicy chili, and cute house drinks like strawberry lemonade. Would be happy to come back anytime! (And if we're not hungry enough, no problem...)

We were greeted by the most friendly staff. We only ordered takeaway, so we cannot rate the service but she seemed great.

Heaven in my mouth - Edit
This is hands down, THE BEST vegan casual restaurant I have ever enjoyed. It is in Marina Del Rey off Glencoe on Washington.
Read moreI enjoyed the cauliflower appetizer as my lunch and my hubby had the Sunset Burger...both phenomenal. So flavorful, generous sized servings and the owner was very attentive.
But...the ultimate was the trip I took to heaven eating the homemade carrot cake...HOLY HELL! The flavors that come at you in sections took me by surprise...the carrot flavor... and then the raisin flavor...but the climax in my mouth was the bright and sunny flavor of lemon in the icing. My mouth has experienced true heaven. No joke...I asked the owner about this cake and she said she made at least 11 version of this until she landed on the one I had today...it truly is perfection.
We drove from Camarillo to eat here and the 45 miles one way were worth it...even though gas is $6.00 a gallon!
Thank you God for this place! AMEN!
Pros: Food, Customer service, Clean
Cons: It is in LA, LA, LA sucks

Cute, clean and delicious. - Edit
We returned from Puerto Vallarta which is minimal for vegan options. It was great to see this on Happy cow in Marina del Rey. We arrived to LAX about 7:00PM. This was an easy to access location on our way home. We relished the ability to eat a salad, order soup and treat ourselves to carrot cake…no worries!

A Big Delicious Win for Mar Vista - Edit
Oh so tasty menu- Everything I had was good- Shrimp, Brussels, Fries, Cauliflower, YUM! The hamburger reminded me of a teriyaki burger i had as a kid at the local japantown street fair. the bahn mi and po boy was also yummy… but my favorite is the Seoul Bowl. How did they make a “pork” like that? Amazing! I would be a regular if I lived in So Cal.
