Ben's Fast Food has become my #1 go-to. Everything's delicious, super fresh, and open till 1am too! And it's CHEAP! Seriously? A chicken bowl is only $9.95 on DD/Postmates and I usually get extra side chicken ($6.95/8oz), some chickpeas & potatoes ($5.95/8oz), and a side veggie ($2.50/8oz) too. That order feeds both of us at least twice! Or you can get a smaller "simple meal" that's basically the same thing as a regular bowl for only $4.15!! They even have a delicious tropical-tasting green smoothie for only $5! And they don't use plastic containers! And the food travels perfectly! No reheating needed, just open up and eat! All their sauces are great too. I like Lemon Thyme and Rosemary, my bf goes BYOB with his own teriyaki, and I have a Chipotle sauce from Ben's in the fridge I use on breakfast eggs.
Like... in a world full of overpriced junk food, I'm actually in shock at how perfect Ben's Fast Food is. Idk how they do it but I pray they NEVER CHANGE! 🙏
Cheap, delicious, filling, sustainable...but is it really healthy? Absolutely! I was recently diagnosed with pre diabetes and I was at the point where eating anything made me fall asleep. Anything! I literally became too scared to eat. It's...bad. HOWEVER! Whenever I eat any of Ben's bowls I feel just fine! Better than fine, I feel great and energized!!
Ben's Fast Food is literally a lifesaver! Thank...
Read moreWow, this was a surprise. I just wanted something that "seemed healthy" because the only options around me after 10pm are both expensive and unhealthy (even compared to delivery).
I got the Pork Shoulder Hearty Bowl with a side of chicken... I regret not ordering things the other way around.. Chicken Hearty Bowl with a side of pork. The pork is absolutely delicious. Has a similar flavor to Mexican carnitas, but just feels so light and with so much depth of flavor. The chicken was still good, but the flavor wasn't as good as the pork. The only reason I regret the specific order configuration I chose was because the side orders (supposedly 8oz) have at least twice the amount of meat as the bowls themselves... Since I would have liked more pork, getting a chicken bowl with an 8oz side of slow roasted pork would have been better for me.
Aside from that.. The combination of greens, veggies, rice and millet were amazing in the Hearty Bowl. Both light yet filling. And although pork was more flavorful than chicken, the chicken was still really nice!
Good delivery option for those that are in Koreatown/Hollywood if you want something...
Read moreBen's Fast Food provides an affordable but ultimately underwhelming experience, marred by poor packaging.
I ordered a variety of items including two Pork Shoulder Mixed Bowls, Slow Roasted Chicken, a Green Smoothie, and a Grain & Veggie Simple Bowl. For over $50, I expected a bit more than just a collection of randomly steamed vegetables and rice with sauce packets on the side. The food itself was okay, but nothing particularly memorable or flavorful. The portions were decent, but the protein content was quite low, likely due to the affordability of the meal. The real disappointment came with the smoothie, which was placed in the same bag as the food and ended up exploding, soaking everything. While some of the blame falls on the delivery person, better packaging from the restaurant could have prevented this mess.
Overall, while Ben's Fast Food offers a budget-friendly option, the experience was not worth repeating. The food lacked seasoning and the poor packaging for delivery significantly detracted from the meal's enjoyment. It seems they need to reconsider their approach to packaging to ensure better customer...
