Review: The food here may not be the healthiest, but it's really good. I love their Birdie Burger, with a side of coleslaw. But other reviewers are right - don't go for the coffee!
Pros: friendly staff * tasty food * central location
Cons: decor * * |

Review: This place truly rules!! Decent servings of healthy thai vegan food for so cheap with very friendly people who manage this place. And the food is so awesome!!! I took 20 of my animal eating friends and they were quite impressed.. I am a vegetarian myself and pride myself to have mapped out most vegan joints in LA, and this one definately sits on the top of that list.
Pros: cheap * great food * mom and pop owned
Cons: small place * * |

Review: Yeah, this is kind of a whole in the wall place but don't let that fool you! My husband & I eat here a few times a month despite the 20-30+ minutes getting there in LA traffic.
The food is wonderful, I've never ordered something I didn't like. I'm floored by the option of having breakfast anytime of the day...when was the last time I was able to do that at a restaurant?? The pancakes are awesome- I wish they would let me in on their sercret. ;) I usually order breakfast or a sandwich or a noodle/rice dish. Hubby likes the lentil loaf as it's very filling and comes w/a hearty helping of fresh veggies & seasoned potatos. Definately try the soymilk shakes- YUM!!
The staff is always very kind and friendly. We notice a lot of people come here for take-out. If we lived closed I'd be going broke ordering take-out from them several times a week. The prices are reasonable and the ingredients are fresh and healthy.
Pros: Price * Healthy & Fresh * Breakfast Served All Day!
Cons: * * |

Review: My favorite place to go for breakfast in all of LA, they have the best scrambled tofu and blueberry pancake dish! Also, for lunch the soy fried chicken sandwhich is very tasty and satisfying. I haven't had anything bad there, but be warned, their "cheesecake" is not cheesecake... it's like a poundcake, which is good, but not what you're expecting when you order the latter. The owners don't seem to be completely fluent in English, but are nevertheless very friendly and eager to please, and the service is fast. I am always so full when I leave too, the portions are quite large for the small price.
Pros: yummy * *
Cons: cheesecake :) * * |

Review: We were stranded in Hollywood one weekday night in the pouring rain and wandered into this place. The staff was really nice and it had a family atmosphere. We ordered a chicken nugget on a stick appetizer along with spring rolls and mung bean soup. I got the fried chicken dinner and my boyfriend got a beef dinner. It was all good, but after reading the reviews below, I'm not to quick to pass the praise. I'm apt to believe the whey rumor because I used their restroom and it was packed FULL of tested on animals/animal ingredient cleaners. Not just one, but about 5 cans of Lysol, Clorox, etc. I came back to my table pretty upset. I didn't choose to eat at an all-vegan restaurant to put my money towards animal cruelty. Sorry, but that just isn't vegan. No vegetarian would find that acceptable either.
On the upside, we did order the coconut ice cream for desert which was obviously homemade and was very, very delicious. My boyfriend ordered the fried bananas to go with it. They turned out to be spring rolls filled with banana, which was kinda weird.
With so many other vegan restaurants in the area, I would suggest readers go elsewhere to be on the safeside ingredient-wise and avoid funding Proctor and Gamble death sprays.
Pros: Affordable prices * Good location * Friendly staff
Cons: Not vegan * Not trust-worthy * |

Review: We went here 2 of the 3 days we were in LA for Breakfast. It was amaziing. I got the blueberry pancakes special and the breakfast protein special both were awesome. They come with tofu scramble, which I nomally don't care for but this was amazing. I added the vegan sausage to my order which didn't dissapoint. I also got the strawberry shake and a slice of lemon cake which were both delicious. Tourists: It's also only a few blocks from Hollywood and Highland which is where the famous chinese theater is located if you are doing the tourist thing while you are in town.
Pros: breakfast * delicious * friendly staff
Cons: * * |

Review: Although this seems to be one of the few places in LA to get a good vegan breakfast, the rest of the food is pretty average. And I doubt we'll be going back. We recently had a fairly unpleasant breakfast. All three members of our group ordered coffee. What we got was three cups of INSTANT COFFEE, with no explanation or apology. They charge $2+ for instant coffee?! When our waiter (finally!) came back, we sent it back, and again we got no apology or explanation. Then, one in our group ordered a thai iced tea to replace the "coffee", but was told he'd have to taste a sample of it first, to make sure he wasn't going to send that back too. They were very rude about the whole thing, and couldn't seem to understand that when someone orders coffee in a restaurant, they expect to get COFFEE.
Pros: location * breakfast variety *
Cons: bad service * mediocre food * |

Review: I have been here several times and have never been disappointed. Some of the entrees I really liked were the Birdie burger(grilled seitan with a garlic-cilantro dressing), Pad Thai, Lad Na, Chow Mein, soy chicken dinner, and the lentil loaf dinner. The desserts are amazing, too. I also have to mention how good the service is.
I look forward to my next visit.
Pros: delicious food * excellent service * reasonably priced
Cons: small restaurant * no parking lot * |

Review: I had anticipated going to Truly and finally made it there for lunch today. But it had fell below expectation. The quality of food seemed average and not particularly healthy to me. My partner ordered a breakfast special which consisted of blueberry pancakes, tofu scramble, and a soysausage pattie - pancake was yummy but scramble and soysausage were both very salty. I ordered the green curry... and it was much too spicy, too salty, and kinda painful to eat. Guess I'll order something else next time. In any case, I am still happy that Truly provides vegetarians a choice, and that's a plus!
Pros: all vegetarian * friendly service *
Cons: conventional ingredients * mostly fast food * |
