Review: With much anticipation my friend to me to Leaf on April 9th 2009. When we got in I was a bit surprised by the interior of the place. Sticky floors, wobbly tables and flakey walls especially behind the counter. The food I ordered was really good, and not too expensive. I didnt get any drink because those WERE on the pricey side.
I enjoyed the food so much, that the nest morning, April 10th 2009, I decided to go back to Leaf for breakfast.
I walked in at 9 am, and the girl behind the counter was less than unfriendly to say the least. She made me feel as if I was invading her space. NO smile, No greeting NOTHING. I even asked if she was ok, and she didnt answer me. when she gave me the food she nearly tossed it at me, without saying a word. As I looked at the table where I had been sitting the night before, I could see the knife and napkins that my friend had dropped on the floor the night before. They were still laying underneath the table.
Good Food, NO smiles and so/so presentation.

 
Pros: Excellent Food * *
Cons: Undfriendly * Hygiene? *

Review: This place is within walking distance for those who actually use their legs and live in Mar Vista/Marina Del Rey. It's a place that I have taken many non-raw, SAD eaters, and no one has been disappointed. As far as Raw and organic go, the prices can't be beat. If you don't believe me, stop by Juliano's Raw in Santa Monica and take the Pepsi challenge!
 
Pros: Walking distance * Can buy products at Whole Foods * Not too pricey
Cons: Dining room lacks comfort * *

Review: Leaf cuisine offers hearty raw foods that isn't overloaded with nuts. The dishes are well balanced in terms of both flavor and nutrition. Their wraps and salads are superb and very filling. I especially enjoy their Bombay croquettes which come with a delicious coconut curry sauce. Their Pad Thai with kelp noodles is also wonderful. Their desserts shine as well, like their Raweo mousse. The atmosphere is casual, not unlike a diner, and the service is quick and efficient. Some of their products can also be found at my local health food store, making it easy on evenings I don't want to prepare meals. Excellent classes on raw food preparation are also offered and feature oodles of delicious recipes.
 
Pros: great food * value * classes
Cons: needs more locations * *

Review: We were on a raw food restaurant rampage. We really were. We had lunch at euphoria, desert at Juliano's and ended up here for a late night snack with another desert.

We love the wraps here and the salads are huge- really consider splitting the salad.

The deserts are great and the prices are fair.

 
Pros: cheap * healthy * huge portions
Cons: Uh... * Can't think of any *

• I absolutely love Leaf Cuisine. The only bad thing about this place is the area. Not particularly "veg looking" friendly area of Culver City. The food is awsome and they are using all environmental packaging as well as being vegans.. response by veronique2

Review: The concept is good - all raw foods, lots of salads, and drinks. But the execution is just okay. The food sometimes comes out fine and is tasty. Other times, the food comes out cold or looking tired. Prices for main courses are good, but drinks and desserts are more pricy.
 
Pros: all vegetarian * has parking *
Cons: hit or miss quality * *

Review: I have been here quite a few times and the first couple times it was pretty good but it seems like it has went down a little. They are inconsistent. The portions are always different every time I go there. I like to know when i order something I am always going to get that same thing. The staff there could be a little friendlier. The girl helping me at the register is always sort of cold and seems mad all the time.
 
Pros: healthy * good food * nice atmosphere
Cons: unfriendly staff * *

Review: I loved this place! The Bombay Burrito wrap is incredible. The carrot cake and strawberry mousse desserts were also amazing. Really resonable prices for a raw restaurant. Service was quick and food was great. I went there 3 times during my 4 day stay in LA. I would definitely go back!
 
Pros: great food * great prices *
Cons: can't think of any! * *

Review: I enjoyed my few visits to Leaf restaraunt!! The staff was pretty friendly, the proportions were nice and it wasn't too pricey. I didn't like the lemoneade but, the "Lean Green Scene" (smoothie) was DELICIOUS!! There was another smothie I tried that was made of fresh almond-milk that was delish also...I just can't remember the name!
Overall, I'll say the food is good! They just don't have corn ANYWHERE on the menu!!

 
Pros: Delicious! * Healthy!! * Guilt-free dining!!
Cons: NO corn!! (frowning) * *

Review: When in the mood for raw foods, give this place a try. Leaf offers a staple selection of raw meals, which usually include a salad greens base, plus you can get raw falafels, rawburgers, and other raw creations to go on your plate, or make it into a wrap. Leaf also offers a daily special like raw pizza. The space is very casual, and the tables seat up to 4 though larger parties can combine the tables. Although raw soup is not my thing, I enjoy the salads and appetizers.
 
Pros: good portions * clean * fresh juices & smoothies
Cons: getting there * *
