Stuff I Eat — Restaurant in Inglewood

In a city full of vegan and vegetarian options, this place just doesn't make the cut. I had heard good things about it, so gave it a go, but was incredibly disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it's good to see a vegan place like this trying to bring healthier food to areas such as Inglewood, but the quality simply isn't there. I really hope they don't turn away people from veganism with the slow service and mediocre food.

The interior of the restaurant is very sparse, and not in a stylistic, aesthetic way. It just has very dull, brown colors for the flooring and the tables and the walls. It all felt so unappealing and dry. The menus are wrinkly and old, and look so unprofessionally done. A little more effort, please.

The service really isn't that good. All the tables were taken, giving the illusion that it's bustling and crowded. In actuality, very few people are actually coming in - it's just that once you're there, it takes forever to actually get your food. We probably waited a good hour to finally be served what we ordered, and waited thirty minutes just to get a table! No one's eating, because no one's food is being served!!

The food itself is unimpressive. I hated the macaroni. It tasted so mushy, it was literally worse than easy mac. The quesadilla was okay, but very thin and not filling at all. The corn bread muffins were just weird! A greyish brown color.....I can't even describe it? I didn't like it. It's expensive too!! This is supposed to be affordable for the people in the area? I'm not seeing it...

I hope it's being successful in its mission to bring new markets into veganism, but I can't see how. It's slow service and mediocre food surely turns away a lot of people, and its prices really aren't all that affordable. There's so many better options elsewhere. From the high-end Crossroads, to the fast-food style Veggie Grill. Either way, find vegan...

I hate anything healthy, and I especially cant stand vegans. Not to say that I hate vegan people I just hate the thought of limiting my food selection. I am a hard core fatty and will eat anything and everything the looks and smells yummy.... With that being said this is my experience at Stuff I Eat.

Took my mother here (who is going vegan for Lent) and was expecting to not necessarily hate it but expecting to leave there hungry. What I know about vegan foods is that it contains little to no items that I love. (I LOVE MEAT). When I saw the menu I noticed they had tons of tasty sounding options (nothing I would of expected from vegans) I decided to go with the Spinach Enchiladas and my mom got the half plate soul food dinner. AND WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW was there A LOT of food. The wait wasn't bad at all and when they bought out the plate I was immediately in heaven. It smelled delish and the taste surly did match. And if you are not use to vegan foods I SINCERELY recommend coming here because its ignited so many different taste buds I didn't even know I had. It's something so familiar with a different twist to it. I applaud their take on enchiladas; they actually make Vegan food delish. Also I LOVED LOVED the yams (side note tried it from my mom)

What's also GREAT about this place is that you can sample any dish before buying it. They have a 0 waste policy so if your unsure just grab a sample and I you cant try it out. Also the restaurant itself is stunning. The décor is amazing has a nice calming/earthy vibe to it. It has a great homey feel to it very chillaxing. Only thing I was -_- about was the price for vegan pie. I got a slice of sweet potato pie for $7 ONLY A SLICE sheesh. I totally considered going vegan after eating here then realized the price. It's extremely costly to prepare vegan food. But this place is worth every penny I will go back and try their gumbo I heard its...

Capitalism has the bad effect on Vegan restaurants now that there's very few competition and places like this can charge astronomical prices without having anybody to stand up against them when it comes to charging the costumer. -Costumer line takes a little longes than usual compared to Panda Express', very few people running and attending the restaurant, people on the kitchen do not meet OSHA's standard for hygiene in food preparing, you see them wearing 59-50's hats, piercings and tattoos without even wearing a mask on their faces. -The hours of opening and closing are flexible for the employees not the costumer, so there's something going on there. -Bathroom can be compared to one on AM/PM, the zinc has the size of a horse's water faint and tile is old and rustic. -If you expect a Bose surrounding in every corner of the restaurant well you're in bad luck, the ambient is powered by a little speaker that is situated on the far left corner of the restaurant. -You have to make plans one day prior to visiting now that they won't give you quarters for bills, BRING YOUR OWN QUATER COINS, and prepare Yourself to pay tripple the price of an average meal. -The quality of the building and the service is far to low for the price Your paying.

5 stars for the food!

2.8 stars raring for the restaurant in total.
