native foods cafe

native foods cafe is known toveganpeople. the food is made fresh daily—from homemade tempeh and seitan, to native cheese, to sauces and drinks, dressings and desserts too. the entire menu is 100% plant-based. personally, i like veggie grill better. cucumber and wakame seaweed salad, comes with sesame kale macro bowl . chimi chop salad $9.95 crunchy romaine,chopped grilled veggies, roasted corn kernels, sweet roasted peppers, garlic croutons and warm shaved native peppered seitan tossed with chimichurri and drizzled with ranch dressing. sesame kale macro bowl $8.95 grilled native tempeh atop steamed kale, brown rice, creamy ginger sesame sauce, and tangy sauerkraut. garnished with gomashio, toasted sesame seeds and green onion. rating: 3.7 / 5   service: 4 / 5 repeat: yes native foods cafe  9343 culver blvd culver city, ca 90232 mon-sun 11 am - 10 pm http://www.nativefoods.com/ http://www.yelp.com/biz/native-foods-cafe-culver-city-2

i don't usually eat atveganrestaurants, but this place was delicious! i had pad thai with tofu and it was extremely tasty! my friend had the coconut avocado wrap, and it was to die for! the slices of avocado are breaded with coconut and fried, and the wrap is filled with veggies and a delicious tangy dressing. you'll love it! the fresh juices are super tasty and quenching, too! i loved the watermelon one, but i tasted the lavender lemonade and it was yummy, too! i'd give it 5 stars but it's a little pricey considering there's no meat!

the first native foods cafe was opened in 1994 by aveganpioneer in palm springs, california. to date, they have fourteen locations nationwide, with more locations opening this year, including san diego.

i never thought is recommend aveganrestaurant but it was very good. a must try.

great!. good food, good service, good prices. who could ask for more? highly recommend if you want a quickveganbite.

i love this place! i was looking for a healthy place to eat that had a good selection/reviews.. so glad we went! i had the morrocan bowl and my husband had the brisket burger.. deliciousveganfood! the service was also good and the lavender lemonade is so good/refreshing! can't wait to go back!

hands-down, native foods has the best faux-reuben sandwich ever. i've tried the other menu options, including various sandwiches and bowls, but i prefer veggie grill for those dishes much more. the fries at native foods were under-cooked and the ranch dressing had the consistency of soupy water ( i.e. not edible). desserts are ok--especially the rose-flavored cupcake. but i will come back here for the incredibleveganreuben.
very friendly service.

september 21, 2013 by cobi | 0 comments if someone asked me where to enjoyveganversions of all their favorite comfort foods, i’d send them to native foods cafe . from reuben sandwiches to burgers and decadent desserts,these dishes hit the spot. on this trip, i ordered the  yo amigo taco salad.  it’s a huge bowl of romaine, cabbage, native taco meat, topped with corn, green onion, cilantro, tortilla chip croutons and salsa fresca. the creamy chipotle dressing is dee-lish and also good for dipping sweet potato fries! i slurped down a cup of corn chowder and started thinking about dessert. the strawberry shortcake was irresistible. light vanilla cake and organic strawberries layered with almond cream was dreamy. my inner fat kid wanted to taste the peanut butter parfait,so i got one of those to-go. creamy whipped peanut butter filling layered between boogie bar (banana bread)crumbles and chocolate chips is crazy good. i hope the consumption of a big salad cancels out the extra calories

folks this place is delicious!! my wife and i have been twice so far. the first time we had no idea it was vegan. we are notveganbut this place might make us reconsider! it is all fresh food and original recipes made in house! the staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome. this place is no joke. as they explain the ingredients used in the dishes it makes you feel as if you are at a high end restaurant. the price is right folks! inexpensive! delicious! healthy!

it's official... i like this food!. after bricking my wife's iphone a trip to bridgeport was in order (apple store). while walking past native foods i mentioned it was really quite good "for a veg-head" place.
i ate those words... it's not just aveganplace, it is a great cafe... period! i can heartily recommend the blackened "native chicken" twister wrap, the side of their excellent lemon-dill potato salad and a side of the polenta/fire roasted corn app... wow. so flavorful, fresh and tasty! again, this omnivore recommends this place... it's just plain great food, regardless of your "head"!!

eh.... i am a dyed in the wool omnivore so this place would not normally be on my list for lunch... but when a good friend who isvegansays 'you must try it'...
the food is very tasty. seitan is not meat nor does it simulate meat. but it tastes good! the highlights were the perfectly ripe avacado on the sandwich and in the salad and the agave watermelon juice.
the place is immaculately clean, staffed with extremely helpful and friendly staff and truly an interesting change of pace for the omnivore.

ruby and i have been veggie for many years (41 and 38) and we love trying veggie and better yetveganrestaurants wherever we go. the world is getting better about this all the time. we went here last night and theveganonly dinner was out of this world. so delicious!!! was crowded, but i was able to squeeze in. can't wait to go back. everyone working there was upbeat and the service was very fast. really enjoyed!
