text: I really really love healthy food done right The kind of food that breaks down the barriers between us crazy health nuts and the traditional awful eaters around the world The kind of food that says it is alright see I can be healthy and delicious If you want this experience go to Native Foods Cafe in southern California not LYFE KitchennnWell like any good story we need a setting Henderson The District Whole Foods shopping center High end high end high end This is a high end healthoriented cafe so the price is high too I am not going to mention specific numbers but even in the world of highend cafes there should be a sense of valuennIt starts well The interior is beautifully modern and polished Comfortable and plentiful seating in a large space A display of herbs and spices growing immediately catches your eye which will provide some irony later Filtered water available on tap at any time Staff is extremely friendly and helpful There are menus for every dietary need Thoughtful Now let us get into the foodnn Roasted brussels and squash A side dish that hides nothing in its name This is weirdly the best thing I have had here It is those two vegetables tossed and cooked in light oil and spices with cranberries thrown on top Simple and high in valuenn Barramundi noodle bowl The honest forward name in the last dish is contrasted to the cryptic name here I am going to copy the exact description Sustainably raised seabass with soba noodles mushrooms scallions edamame in kimchi broth Yes all of those ingredients are present but what do you picture this dish looking like A noodle bowl with a fish on top Wrong Try some weak broth with about noodles floating in it with accompanying and sparse edamame kimchi and mushrooms A cooked piece of fish on top This just makes no sense There is no distinct character or flavor to this No purpose or personality It is just food Low in value because you essentially just paid for a piece of fishnn Grassfed burger So again technically everything on the list checks out grassfed beef romaine tomato red onion farmhouse pickle dijonnaise on an oatmeal bun You can expect a lot of bread containing a relatively small unseasoned and remarkably dry beef patty topped with extremely sparse amounts of lettuce and tomatoes Seriously where is everything And why is the patty so awful Oh yeah this comes with a tiny salad Extremely extremely low valuenn Fish tacos Hey fish tacos What can possibly go wrong here These actually taste alright but mainly because they are drenched in sauce Thin pieces of fish topped with lots of vegetables with a bit of salsa on the side Same borderlinegarnish grade salad on the side Fish tacos are often delicious because of the combination of fresh fish topped with crunchy vegetables like cabbage and a light sauce The effect was lost in that sense Perhaps four tacos would be a bit more appropriate for the price and considering there is almost nothing else on the plate Again super low in valuenn LYFE waters Not bad but quite watered down I am not even going to get into itnnSo a conclusion then Potential yes Execution poor I just cannot justify coming back and paying a high price for not much in both value and flavor all their spices are growing up front instead of being used in the kitchen I guarantee you will leave hungry and poor
