I hate health food. Not healthy food, that's great. I just hate all the made up nonsense superfoods ancient grains living water spirit animal gluten free garbage. But I'll suffer it if they can deliver healthy food that tastes good. Here... not so much.The menu consists of five sections, with 3-4 items in each section: open-faced toast, home burgers, salad bowls, earth bowls, and oven-fired flatbread.

The menu consists of five sections, with 3-4 items in each section: open-faced toast, home burgers, salad bowls, earth bowls, and oven-fired flatbread. I went with a flatbread, the Blue Whale: "green base, falafel, roasted garlic hummus, mixed greens, roasted bell peppers, cucumber" ($60 for a short one). The green base is "wild thyme, oregano, coriander, sumac, sesame seed, cayenne, sea salt," but I didn't really notice it, to tell the truth. Mostly it was just the falafel and the hummus, and neither were all that good: you can get much better at Mana.
I asked them to put their fermented chili sauce on it, because their other flatbreads have sauce on them, and because they have a "custom flatbread" menu that invites you to "choose your sauce." So I figured bland vegan food... it's gonna need it. They charged me $12 for the sauce upgrade (it's free on the custom menu), and despite two warnings, once from the cashier and then again from the people who handed me my food upstairs, that it was VERY spicy, it was not spicy. It also did not make the food less bland.
My wife got the Siberian Tiger Earth Bowl (how dirty I feel saying that!), "Purple rice, mixed mushrooms, marinated tofu, seasoned garden greens, beetroot, pickled cucumber, fermented chili, raw teriyaki." It's an awfully long list of ingredients for how very little food came. Her main complaint was that the proportions were so off: that picture you see is not after she ate some of it, that's as soon as we got home. It's mostly rice and then you get a small amount of overcooked vegetables. I'm not even sure all the advertized things are actually in there.
They also have their own brand of kimchi, so I got some. It wasn't very good. Despite Home's love of fermentation, this stuff seemed more like the unfermented Japanese kimuchi. It wasn't nearly funky enough, or spicy enough. I guess vegan kimchi is not going to have anchovies in it, so that'll be one dimension on which the funky and umami flavors are lessened.Look, if you're a vegan, I understand it can be hard to find food. But you can get similar, and much better vegan food at Mana or at Supafood. If you're not vegan, there are tons of better options, and I recommend not going here.
