Maria Luisa Gonzalez-CrespoNovember 27, 2016The BEST clean eating restaurant. Food has amazing flavor and it's prepared with anti-inflammatory ingredients. Concept is truly organic and super healthy.
Lucille FisherJune 26, 2017Fresh ingredients, healthy cooking, delicious & satisfying eating. Spacious, relaxing atmosphere, outdoor dining available when weather permits. Made from scratch cocktails! Yum!
Joanne LiyengMay 12, 2018I've never imagined healthy food to be so delicious!!! Get the sunrise bowl! And the edamame dumplings were amazing too!
Absolutely obsessed with this place! Everything is so fresh and healthy. Lunch standouts: charred cauliflower appetizer, fish tacos and grilled chicken salad. Sweet potato pie for dessert. Open B/L/D.
T HFebruary 18, 2019Really good options for the plant-based, vegan or vegetarian eater. They have vegan chorizo tacos, and an incredible pizza with squash and almond ricotta.
Naywri WrightNovember 17, 2016First I started out with the Daily Market Soup which was called Curry & Cauliflower. I expected it to be a little hotter but it was still good. Then I had Spicy Panang Curry as a bowl.- Kevin M. McNally, CMPAugust 20, 2018Fun, simple restaurant with healthy (GF) menu offerings. Loved the Fish Tacos, wine and noodle dishes. Staff is friendly and you will not leave hungry. Treat yourself!
David JonesApril 29, 2017Had dinner one night and Brunch the next morning. Wonderful experience both times. Try the avocado toast and any of the bowls. Healthy food that tastes awesome!- Ericka YeomanDecember 29, 2018Love True Foods menu. Food is always constant no matter what state I’m in. Pomegranate margarita was delicious. Not sweet at all and strong like a margarita should taste.
ISC ChicagoJuly 4, 2017Teriyaki Quinoa (broccoli, heirloom carrot, bok choy, mushroom, brown rice, avocado, toasted sesame) with shrimp
Get the “Medicine Man”! Heavy brewed green tea, with black berry, pomegranate, honey, and sea buckthorn.- Madeline GullettDecember 31, 2016Great for vegans and people who eat gluten free! I loved everything I ate. Their tea was extra amazing
Nauman NoorApril 11, 2017chi-chi version of LYFE kitchen though the ingredients can be worth the price. Good people watching during idyllic summer afternoons
ashish rastogiOctober 14, 2017Lots of veggie/vegan options but expensive - smaller portions. And extremely slow service when restaurant is full. The Brussels sprouts pizza is tangy, so only order if you like lime-based pizza!
- ISC ChicagoJuly 4, 2017Red Chili Noodles (gai lan, zucchini, shiitake mushroom, snow pea, cashew) with shrimp
CarlApril 8, 2018A hellish corporate dystopia. Delicious fish tacos and organic wines! Gluten free options to boot.
Grapefruit martini is delicious. The tataki, kale salad, and burger are all great choices.
Nash PleasantAugust 9, 2020The tomato and watermelon salad with turmeric ponzu is fantastic. Great healthy dishes
Stephanie Y CavazosMarch 28, 2024Favorite juice spot since Real Good has shut its doors - thank you (Bright Eyes 4 E 💕)
Seats at the bar are first come first serve for those who don’t want to wait.
GilJune 30, 2017Pretentious with a capital P. Staff doesn't even understand the menus and can't explain them. If you want Vegan or GF food, go to Whole Foods a block north and have a much better experience.
