RFD is an amazing plant based restaurant. My server Shane was exceptional. He was attentive and very helpful with explaining popular menu items. I ordered lasagna which I usually cannot have do to my cheese allergy. It did not disappoint… The savory flavor of the tomato sauce and texture of the lasagna noodles was great. They also have great tasting house margaritas. I will definitely return to this RFD in Pasadena!

Very good lunch after long day. The food is awesome and the staff too. They brought me definitely some positiveness to my day. I enjoyed breakfast burrito, my husband got very tasty big bowl of satysfying salad and we also ordered the green protein smoothie. Everything clean, absolutely delicious and nutritious. It was great to find in Pasadena another location of Real Food Daily.

This is a really good place to go eat. I highly recommend trying the lasagna, the real food burger that tastes like a Mexican torta, and the jack fruit street tacos. Also, their pastries are ok. I have tried the chocolate fudge cake and chocolate cheese cake. I liked the cheese cake better but my friend preferred the fudge cake. Update review: I recently visited this place again, and sadly, to say the food wasn't the same. Updated review 2024 : I decided to give this place another try after so long. I have to say that the atmosphere and customer service are always a delight. I decided to come by for some desserts, but they were not so tasty. The strawberry flavored ice cream had a strong vinegar flavored, and the vanilla ice cream was bland.

Our server was really nice and gave great suggestions— We had the grilled cheeses and YUM they were so good and filling that we only had room each for half of our sandwiches and took the rest home. The cornbread was also great and wasn’t too sweet. Not a huge fan of the mashed potatoes, a bit heavy on the garlic and gravy but if that’s your thing go for it!!!

Ordered Tuna Melt, Burrito, Buffalo Tator Tots and Mac N Cheese. Food was absolutely amazing. Price is also very high, but reflects the food quality. Out door dinning comfortable and clean. Service is impeccable and friendly.

The food tasted amazing. No one in my party was vegan, yet we all loved the food. They have lots of options and a big space, which is a plus. Oh and the oat-milk latte was absolutely perfect. A couple of things to improve: 1) We tried their chocolate cake and carrot cake, and we didn't like either of them (excessively sweet and dry.)Their bakery is all gluten free, and I'm guessing vegan, so that's probably why you'd be better off somewhere else. 2) The service was slow even though there weren't many people in the restaurant. We are still in a pandemic, though, so I can't complain. Overall, very good experience.

Very interesting menu. It was so mixed up that it was hard to make a decision. I went for the waiter’s recommendation: Ramen. It was different. Potatoes and pumpkin. Too bad the potatoes were not fully cooked so they were bitter. There was still a chunk of noodles stuck together. We brought it up to the waiter’s attention. In general Service was good. My friend ordered the Mediterranean salad and enjoyed it. I would not come back but you are welcome to try the other dishes 🤔.

Absolutely amazing, super friendly people and clean restaurant. I struggle to find vegan foods that are quality all around, so it's a shame I don't live closer, or this would be a go to spot. PLEASE TRY THE NACHOS. The Pico de Gallo was actually tasty and I'm always skeptical of it when it's not made by me family haha.

My husband did a quick Las Vegas to Los Angeles trip for various reasons. When he returned, he surprised me with some delicious dishes from Real Food Daily. I love breakfast food way too much. All those greasy eggs and meats - yum! But I try to not eat too much of them. So when I see healthy vegan options that substitute with tofu scramble, tempeh, or jackfruit, I go all in! I tried both the breakfast calzone as well as the breakfast burrito with jackfruit. I baked them to reheat and they were perfect. Flavors were intense but not overwhelming, and textures were filling + satisfying. Real Food Daily - I wish you had a location in Las Vegas. You're our new pit stop for all our Los Angeles road trips now!

I've been vegan over 21 years and some places lack flavor, real food daily does not! It's a very clean, relaxing sit back and chit chat with family or friends atmosphere. The menu is very diverse and I absolutely love their choices on appetizers and entrees. I tried the buffalo wings and pesto pizza all to my delight. The fish tacos were full of flavors and really filling. I highly recommend this restaurant very healthy and all staff are kind and curious.

Believe me when I say that dropping RFD into three-star territory brings me no pleasure. I loved RFD. The Santa Monica location was the first restaurant I ate at in Los Angeles when I originally visited some 15 years ago. After I moved to town, I went to RFD every few weeks for probably two years. I later lived near the La Cienega location, and dined in more times than I can count. During lock-down, we picked up food from RFD dozens of times. But man... somewhere over the last year or two, they've just completely fallen off. The menu feels like it hasn't changed in a decade. No specials, no new items to try, no energy. If you go to the menu on their website, they have a "Featured" section which you'd think to contain some new and exciting options. But the items are the Cheeseburger Egg Rolls, which they've had for years, and a "Thanksgiving Teaser" meal because we all need to be prepping for Thanksgiving in February. Speaking of their website, it was down for like three months. How does that happen? Maybe if they executed the vintage menu well, I could understand leaving it the same. But the food has been subpar at best. We have stood in the doorway, waiting for someone to greet us for way too long while the restaurant was completely empty. Food is often too salty or unseasoned. A few weeks ago, I had the Buffalo Cauliflower Calzone, and the inside was a watery, lukewarm, soggy mess. They are often out of desserts, much to my preschooler's disappointment. And on our very last visit there was a horrible smell permeating the place, somewhat like a backed-up toilet. I can't remember the last time we walked out talking about how great the food or experience was. I will say the servers are all polite, but we often have to get up and find someone to ask for water or order more food. Polite is great, but it pairs better with attentiveness. Honestly, if it wasn't for their Basic "build your own" Bowls, I don't think I'd come here at all anymore. I shoot for pickup/delivery on occasion, but even that has become difficult because items and dressings are missing from most of the delivery apps. I have to call in to tweak my online order to actually get what I'm looking for which is undue hassle. It's just rough, man. Maybe 2.5 stars is more appropriate. Like I said, I loved RFD. But nostalgia can only carry an establishment so far.

The food was okay. We got breakfast sandwich, lasagna & ramen. None of us thought it was amazing or flavorful. Our drinks cucumber mojito & margarita were also diluted. The margarita is on tap so definitely not tasty. Our server also asked my friend "what would you like for a side. It comes with a side blah blah" & my friend chose fries. Assuming it means it comes with the sandwich but it was $2 extra .. so overall meh experience.

I give this place a five star because I was quite impressed by the fact that they can make really tasty vegan cheese and ice cream. I came here with my sister, her boyfriend and my dad and we all shared all the plates that we ordered. My sister did all of the ordering since she's been there quite a few times and knows what is good. Everything is pretty well made and tastes flavorful! Service was great as well.

Brunch with the family at RFD-Pasadena was a roaring success. We had an orthodox vegan in our midst, an aspirational vegan, and me (part-time vegan with a love for savory flavors) and all were happy. That should tell you enough right there. Our server Joey did a nice job of recommending dishes and checking in on our progress. Bottomless Mimosa: Strong. Delicous. I had to stop after 2.5 mimosas, so my bottom was pretty easily reached. If you have a higher tolerance than me, highly recommended. My dining companions had The Weekender and the Almond Tuna Melt (reportedly delicious). I had the Sea Cake Benedict with a very nice vegan Hollandaise sauce. We all had coffees of various sorts, also very good. We split an excellent and gigantic slice of chocolate cake (definitely enough for three folks.) Perfect brunch rec in Pasadena. 90 minutes free parking in the public lot nearby.

A friend of our friend brought us here yesterday. I enjoyed my food. I had one of their brunch specials, The California Scramble with toast & jam, and fruit slices on the side. The potato wedges for starters were crispy! My husband got the Calzone and it was good too!! Whether you are Vegan or not, I think you will enjoy this place!

To start off I am not vegan but I'm always open to explore and I have liked vegan food in the past so was always curious about this spot. I got their breakfast burrito with scrambled tofu and it was pretty good! My friend got the no huevos rancheros and she really enjoyed it. I got their mocha with Oatmilk and she got the matcha with Oatmilk. We shared their butterscotch pancakes and that had to be my favorite! So good. Our waitress was nice and friendly. The ambiance is chill and kind of artsy. There's inside and outside. They are located near a bunch of other restaurants so there's a big parking lot in the back but you have to pay. There's also 2 hr street parking.

OMG we discovered Real Food Daily after talking to Thomas at Junkyard Dog. So we had to try it. And it did not disappoint! Absolutely perfect menu for Plant-based/Vegan lifestyle where you want to try every dish! But we came specifically for the Eggs Benedict. What a fantastic dish. How the heck do they make that plant-based pouched egg baffles the mind. You have to experience it yourself because it's amazing! We went back-to-back weekends just so we can try more things but I couldn't stay away from the Eggs Benedict as it's my favorite. There is a 'sister' location to Real Food Daily and that's Junkyard Dog on Sunset.

RFD has some tasty options that I enjoy every time I order. For brunch I really like their tofu scramble and for lunch I love their nachos. Their pizza is decent enough to reorder as is their ramen. I've had issues with their catering in the past, like them losing my order and contact information. The inside of the restaurant has a weird smell that's persisted for years now, but I sit outside and problem solved.

The cooked "tuna" just didn't taste right. I thought I would feel good afterward for choosing to eat healthy. But my stomach didn't agree. The taste didn't make up for it.

There's almost too much to choose from on the menu, everything looks delicious and our brunch (scramble, waffles) certainly was. I will definitely bring my omnivore friends next time!

Yes, the name is appropriately ridiculous but also sadly misleading. It's a vegan restaurant, and they should proclaim that more loudly, but don't let that make you avoid it. RFD isn't an annoying vegan restaurant. The food is delicious. I've only been here two times, but both times, I've either rudely asked my dining companions to taste their food or politely accepted their offers to taste their food, so I've tasted many things on the menu. My personal faves are the Original RFD Burger (hold the jalapeños), the Breakfast Calzone, and the Mexico City Tacos. The onion rings are really good. If you're over fries--I don't understand how that could happen, but I'm trying to walk in other people's shoes here--they're a worse-for-you but possibly better-tasting option. My only real criticism (and it's minor): The Build Your Basic Bowl might be a good thing, but it's described poorly on the menu, and two different servers have had trouble explaining it. I think the word "Basic" is confusing people, because you can make the bowl anything but basic, and the rules about what you can and can't include really don't make sense. The place is so cute. It's deceptively cute, actually. It feels kind of thrown together, but when you spend a little bit of time here, you'll find that they put a great deal of thought into all the design choices. It's a mishmash of different eras and tastes, but it really works, especially when it's dark and chilly outside. Eating in the patio is also cozy, and you don't feel like you're banished to the nether regions. The parking situation can be annoying. I usually look for a spot just east of the building in the South Lake Avenue Parking Lot, which is on the north side of East Del Mar Boulevard, right before RFD. The entrance to the parking lot is actually a street named Shoppers Lane. There's lots of parking, but the aisles are designed poorly, so you sometimes can't get back to Shoppers Lane without having to back out. Plus, if you have to park too far north of the entrance, it's not really that close to the restaurant anymore. I've had pretty good luck with street parking on South Lake Avenue itself, but this is Pasadena, so it can get slightly annoying. (No parking in SoCal is anywhere near as bad as it is in most of San Francisco, so I tend to scoff at most of my fellow native Southern Californians' "impossible to park" hyperbole/histrionics.) It's always nice to patronize parts of Pasadena that aren't right on Colorado. I love many places in Old Town Pasadena, but there are plenty of other places to explore. If you've ever been to the Trader Joe's, it's right around the corner from RFD. It's a perfect place for a date, whether or not your companion is vegan. It's also good for couples, friends, groups, post-high-school-reunion snacks (although it's not open that late), book-club friends, and pottery-class meetups.

I've been a regular at Real Food Daily for many years now. It's my go to and I always bring friends and any visiting family here. I'm the only vegan in my family, but everyone I've brought here has enjoyed it. The staff is so friendly and helpful which makes it even better. I recommend it to everyone!

Was looking forward to trying this spot out, but left highly disappointed. The food wasn't what I imagined it would be. I ordered the original RFD burger. Not only was it lacking jalapeños or any heat but it was also brought to me cold and the fries were saturated in oil and crisp like chips! Perhaps I picked out the wrong item on their menu, but either way not at all a fan. Despite not being very busy on a Sunday afternoon, the service wasn't prompt and the server was not attentive and walked past our table multiple times before checking on us and taking our order.

What a gem! Mediterranean Salad was stellar! Packed with herbaceous flavor, tangy and filling~ They accidentally gave me a different salad yesterday so they even graciously offered a discount today Will be back again to try other goodies~!

Love the variety of foods here knowing I will always feel good afterwards. We have several eating sensitivities here and this place always delivers for everyone in the group. Service is friendly and quick when it's not super busy. Like the outdoor patio, inside is on the darker side and lately I have been noticing flys and gnats which is kind of gross. Hopefully they can figure that out soon.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place anymore. New ownership, service is not great. Tried ordering the other night and somehow they are randomly closed on a weekend night. They never answer the phone. Food quality degraded rapidly. So sad. Pasadena is looking pretty sad for vegan food that isn't My Vegan.

I've been here twice, I loved the outside seating and our waiter Joey was excellent! The food was so tasty and very clean and fresh to be sure. I enjoyed the salad, which was called the 'Real Food Salad' it was beautifully presented and I enjoyed the almond dressing very much. I had to ask for more! That salad was enough for two! They are not skimpy which is really a nice change from some places. My friend ordered a breakfast burrito. I didn't taste it, but she seemed happy with her choice. For dessert we had a dirty chi latte along with a dark chocolate cake. I would go back again, no hesitation! It's worth the money. I can't stress how awesome the service was! That's half the experience. We felt very welcomed. If you get a chance to go, You won't be disappointed.

AMAZING VEGAN OPTIONS I'm not vegan but this restaurant surpassed my expectations with incredibly tasty meals and a wide menu selection. I got the highly recommended spinach ricotta ravioli that was stuffed with mushrooms and kale in a creamy pink sauce (tomato sauce + cashew cream) and it was TO DIE FOR. I didn't get a picture but my mom made her own bowl with cooked bok choy, carrots, zucchini, and broccoli with brown rice. The veggies were perfectly tender, fresh, and tasted natural without any oil or anything added. The grilled seitan on top was also so yummy. Their brownie sundae was a hit, a bit pricey at $12 but nonetheless it was great. I couldn't taste the chocolate ice cream as much, it wasn't as rich but the strawberry ice cream was bursting with flavor, and neither were really sweet they were just super creamy. The brownie was also so warm and delicious, super rich too!

As someone who is gluten-free, egg, free, and dairy free, it's difficult for me to go to a restaurant and have extremely delicious food! When I arrived not only was our waitress absolutely wonderful, but she showed me all of my options and made some great recommendations. We went for an appetizer and ended up also getting the alfredo and the coconut cream cake for dessert. I have to say that non vegan eaters would also sound this place tasty! the food is absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back.

We had a late lunch here and had the RFD burger with tater tots which was pretty good. Our server was a sweet young lady but overly apologetic over spilt water by one of those in our group. The place was nice but a little on the sterile side. I prefer to feel more comfortable in a homie atmosphere.

We ordered nachos and fried pickles for appetizers and fish tacos for lunch. The nachos and tacos were amazing and had a lot of flavor, but the fried pickles were soggy and not flavorful at all. We sat outside along the sidewalk and people and dog watched. The service was great, everyone was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We were looking for healthier options for a friend and we ended up here for lunch. I ordered the burger bowl - it was a decent serving but the brown rice was undercooked and hard that I have to ask again. I was more surprised by my friend's dish as she chose the build your own bowl option with some veggies and protein, which was basically topping wise. I was imagining more of a bowl with some salad/rice base option included (like poke or Sweetgreen) but that was an additional cost. I would definitely not order this and very overpriced. Spent around $35 for lunch including a drink and tip, which is very expensive. There's a parking lot right behind it and it's free for 90 mins.

I've come to RFD and the food has always been good to me. Never had an issue until today. I came in & ordered food to go. I was eating the burger patty and found a hair within the patty.

We were visiting Pasadena from Northern California and my daughter wanted to try this place out. The ambiance was definitely more upscale than most vegan restaurants I've been to. The seats were nice and comfortable. We ordered the RFD burger and a bowl along with a side of sweet potato fries - the food was very delicious and we enjoyed our meal very much. Service was very polite and attentive, so no complaints there. Definitely one of the highlight of our trip to Southern California.

Real food daily has some of the best vegan food I've ever had! We had the sausage calzone, Caesar salad, and mozzarella sticks. All were so amazing, and the staff was so friendly and accommodating to our large group! The ambiance was incredible. No harsh lighting and the mood was set perfectly for dinner time. We weren't rushed out when we were finished and felt appreciated and cared for.

This is one of the best vegan restaurants in the Los Angeles area. I prefer the Pasadena location. Everything is good. I love getting the nachos and replacing the chips with tater tots. The cheese tastes like the real thing and I like adding their hot sauces. I think I've tried every sandwich, almost every bowl, and every appetizer. I've been coming here for a while. I've also ordered items for Thanksgiving. If you want to, order ahead. The service here is also top notch. Polite, welcoming, experienced staff I'll keep coming back

Not only does the food slap, but so does the crew that operates this lovely vegan joint. I had accidentally left my wallet here and everyone helped me out by defending it from evil doers, and eventually returning it to me! Their desserts are incredible as well, they served me some cheesecake with raspberry syrup and it hit the spot. 10/10

Came here in a group of 5 for brunch on a Sunday. Parking is very easy and didn't cost anything. Though, it might change on other days of the week.. Start: We were seated almost immediately upon checking in. The waiter gave us some time to make our food choices. Everything here is vegetarian so it took us time to make our selections. Course: In the end, we opted for the Breakfast Burrito Bowl, Breakfast Pizza, Tuna Sandwich, one of their Pastas. I have pictures so it might be easier to follow. The pasta we got was very sour though so it was difficult to eat. While everything else just seemed to be a ton of Carbs. Full after a couple of bites. The tuna sandwich flavor became so overwhelming after a couple of bites that I couldn't quite finish it. Might have been a better idea to eat half and take the rest to-go. End: We took the pasta home but everything else was not salvageable. A good try for vegetarian eaters, a bit harder for meat eaters. Service wasn't good or bad, so not much to say there. I'd say give it a shot, the taste is quite different.

Came in before their online posted business hours, as I'm looking/ready to order. No greeting or acknowledgement but I'm told that they are closed and that they "closed early" this night. Please note it's 10 mins before closing time. Not a fan of business not adhering to their hours and lazy work ethic of wanting to just go home asap even if that means no money for the business. I'm sure the owner wouldn't be pleased.

First time at RFD. We came for an early Friday dinner, and there was only one other couple there. Nice and clean. They had music playing, but we could still hear each other talk. Service was okay. We were a bit disappointed in the food. We had the comfy bowl and western burger with onion rings. The comfy bowl was very bland. It tasted like there was no seasoning added. The gravy also had no flavor. The western burger was one slight notch above a fast food burger. The onion rings were cooked well, but again no seasonings added. Parking is conveniently located in a lot behind Granville restaurant. Overall, it was an okay experience, but we will probably not be returning.

Love the decor first of all! Secondly, staff was super friendly from the moment I walked in. My waiter was amazing and love that I could ask about items and receive recommendations since this was my first visit (it won't be my last)! The clockwork orange was so delicious and refreshing. I almost went with the margarita on tap and I'm glad I didn't and I enjoy a good margarita. If you want an good appetizer don't skip out on the "mozzarella" sticks. For the main course, I went with the comfort bowl and it certainly was comforting. It's a good portion just because it was filled with quite a bit. Love the gravy for the potatoes that came in the bowl. Overall it was very balanced in terms of seasoning and taste given all the items in it. A new favorite vegan spot hands down!

Food: -Comfort Bowl + extra gravy that was much needed. Once I had that gravy it was good but I wish every "soul food" claiming restaurant in would learn how to season food at least a little bit 8/10 -baked plantains; floppy plantains are not my cup of tea, they tasted like they were old and half way reheated. The sriracha Mayo was for sure needed. 4/10 -Cheese burger egg rolls. My friend said they were really good! 10/10 -Burger and fries. My friend said it was was the most mediocre vegan burger she's ever had lol. 4/10 -strawberry seltzer. Like a strawberry refresher from Starbucks with cheap vodka in it. 8/10 Service was realllllyyyy slow but I blame that on the owners not the servers themselves as they were all super sweet. Parking is awful as it's in a busy shopping plaza so plan accordingly for that. Food was overall 50/50 good and mediocre. With so many vegan options in la I wouldn't return but worth trying out if you've never been!

This is one of my go to vegan restaurants in Pasadena and LA. I'm a big fan of their brunch, breakfast burrito bowl and also their nachos which you can substitute the chips for tater tot's, which I up really appreciate since I am sensitive to both gluten and corn. Also, they are great on their gluten-free desserts, this location gets baked goods delivered Wednesdays and Saturdays so those are the best days to go pick them up

Liam N.

Yelp
The location is great. A lot of parking. The menu is ok. It's basic American food and it's kinda boring. You can only do so much with bread and sandwiches before you're done with it. The main problem with this place is that the waiter/host that served us was wearing a strong cologne. He's a great server, very nice and helpful. But what's with the cologne? He was wearing shades too, which was no big deal. But the cologne gave me a headache. It's not worth eating out if the staff is just gonna give you a blast of toxic chemicals while eating mediocre food. I probably won't be back.

I have gone to this places a few times now and recently I noticed that the inside has gotten better (from a while back that I had not gone); more cute. I went on a Friday mid afternoon and it wasn't very busy, which I liked. We received great service and the food was really good, like I had remembered. I got the large nachos with the taco mix (tempeh) added; the cashew cheese was delicious! My husband got the RFD burger with onion rings, since it is hard to get vegan onion rings almost anywhere. I also got their cookies n cream milkshake, which is more of a chocolate chip cookie rather than Oreo cookie milkshake; it was still really good, but my preference would have been for an Oreo milkshake. Lastly, I got a vanilla bean cheesecake, which came with some sweet sugary syrup-like substance on the plate, and a few cut up strawberries; I didn't taste the vanilla bean as much as I would have wanted, but it was still very good overall; I also got a side of soy milk for the sweetness. In the end, we enjoyed everything and we were reminded that we should try to go back more often.

The food was very tasty! I got a smoothie which was yummy :) The Buffalo sauce made on the cauliflower was sooo tasty! The mozz sticks were okay, alittle soft for my liking and I wish they were larger or they gave more (it was 5 tiny sticks for $11) had I known I would've went for the avocado toast instead. Next time I'm in the area i would pop in again and grab some different menu items. The cookie is huge! Can't wait to warm it up and try it :)

Very subpar experience here. For the price, you get very B- food. Had a decent mushroom pizza here but was pretty dissatisfied with the bowl and the burrito. Ordered a side of cornbread and it was barely enough for two people.

Been wanting to try this place for a long time, and finally got there this week. We were greeted promptly & the seated right away. Our server arrived, but not very friendly or accommodating. My friend asked about the gravy on the bowl and he snidely said that "it's gravy ",no description was given. He acted as if we imposed by asking a question, and gave a snarky response. When the food arrived, it lacked presentation and looked unappealing. The bowl & my burger were bland with no flavor to speak of. The fries were soggy & no flavor. For $40, I expected better prepared & presented food with great service. Unfortunately, we didn't receive either. I will not be returning.

ordered food for delivery -- ordered 3 items and on the note section of each item, I put "No Utensils" thats 3 times with the words No Utensils and of course I received a packet of utensils. Why aren't restaurants defaulting to no utensils unless requested? I hate ordering delivery because of all the excessive plastic packaging already and on top of that, I now have single use plastic utensils which I have no use for whatsoever. single use items are very annoying. doesnt it save the restaurant money by not supplying any single use utensils? the food is very good. And a vegan restaurant is still WAY more environmentally friendly -- it's just very annoying when I take the time to make a specific request 3 times and nobody bothers to read the order ticket.
