Simply Wholesome

I love their delicious spinach patties, I even tried their fish patties which are delicious as well. Great place to grab a smoothie and some desserts. more

When I arrived at the location off of Slauson it was pretty tricky because being my first time there, I parked on the side of the building, it took me some time before I could figure out where the entrance was. Although, it looked like you would enter from Slauson, but you really don't, they should have signs that says enter in thru the rear/back. I went in to purchase some herbs, the aroma from the food was amazing, it fill the whole store, made me instantly hungry.\r \r The restaurant was clean and attractive, very spacious and had a great patio. I ordered, pegeon peas and rice with grilled chicken and two patties. It stated that my approximate wait time would be 25min, but I got it in less than that. My bill was $22.\r \r The food was hot, the appearance and portion size was good. The patties were tasty and flavorful.\r \r Okay, when I open the tray it had macaroni and cheese that was tasty, ripe fried plantain was good, potato salad..oh no! straight up nonsense. The rice, no flavor, the grilled chicken was good and although I told the lady I did not want any marinara sauce on the food, it had the marinara on the chicken. It also had veggies;broccoli, zuchinni mix, was good.\r I don't think I'll be visiting the restaurant again. more

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 more

\r \r 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!!! more

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 more

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 more

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 more

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! more

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 more

The Staff is very rude and unprofessional...I would NOT recommended this restaurant to any one of my friend nor co-worker....I use to live in Los Angeles and recently moved to Atlanta Ga...Recently I called to order some herbs over the phone to have ship to me, an this is what i receive is a RUDE AND NASTY STAFF who calm he was the Owner who I just found out he was NOT...This was nothing different, because I got the same treatment when I was living in Los Angeles. Nastly and unprofessional staff. Cons: Staff, Service more

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 more

This is the best vegetarian selection I have seen in all of Southern California. The menu choices are creative and delicious. There are so many options I was overwhelmed. There are also numerous options for the carnivores in the crowd. In addition to the food being spectacular, the smoothies are inspired and what a deal! The prices are unreal. This place is worth the trip! Pros: Excellent food, Lots of choices, Inexpensive more

We stopped here on advice from a friend, and we have to agree that this place's food is really good! We placed our orders at the counter and sat down on the patio. On this visit, Chris tried the breakfast burrito with eggs, which was packed with a tasty mixture of potatoes, onions, scrambled egg, and peppers. Rich ordered the chicken burrito, which came stuffed with tender strips of barbequed chicken, rice, and black beans. Both of these, which were huge, come wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla and topped with some fresh-tasting salsa. Both were tasty as all get out! The only negative part of our meal was the disposable utensils and styrofoam plates. Pros: Patio seating Cons: styrofoam more

This bright and airy health food restaurant sits in a part of town dominated by fast food restaurants and authentic, cholesterol-laden barbecue joints. In additon to the extensive vegetarian menu, there's also an adjacent health food store that sells organic foods, homeopathic remedies and vitamins. Pros: Extensive menu, Easy parking, Adjacent store more
