"This fast-casual vegan spot in Culver City quietly shares the same packed strip mall with fried chicken and barbecue spots, but it’s not just the token healthy spot: Hey Sunshine serves plant-based comfort foods that can hold their own. The hot chicken sandwich delivers an audible crunch without the spongy texture that ruins some meat alternatives, and the smoky “beef” in the tacos shouts charcoal grill. Bowls and salads are light but satisfying, including our favorite with golden chickpea fritters, a boatload of veggies, and bright lemon aioli." - Sylvio Martins, Garrett Snyder
