LYFE Kitchen

If you’re going to charge 20 bucks for a burger it needs to be five times better than a McDonald’s burger. Mine came with the wrong kind of bun and my friend was half done with her lunch before mine even got to my table because the waiter got lost. The fries were so soggy it was like they were run underwater for they brought them to me. Seriously?

This place was pretty good to stop at while we were coming to the end of our road trip down to LA. We got veggie burgers and vegan used Parmesan sweet potato fries. The fries were really good in a garlic sauce and came with a chipotle aioli to dip in. The burgers were alright but kind of dry.
My favorite part was that they had a water bar with «chilled», «ambient», and «chilled sparkling» waters.
I’d probably go back and try one of the things with a gardein substitute. This time I wanted something I could eat easily in the car since we had our dog with us.

I want to review this restaurant because I want everyone that likes to eat at a clean restaurant, with friendly service and fresh delicious food to stop by and try this place. It’s a trendy little hot spot. They don’t have a cell phone charging station but when I asked Melinda if they did she said «no» but kindly asked one of her coworkers if the would share their charger with me so I was able to plug in and write this review:)

This place is AMAZING! I usually don’t eat healthy but my family had me come and you will find something you like here regardless of taste.

Went here to eat with a friend. We split the mahi tacos. When we got them she instantly pointed out a short thick hair in hers. I instantly went to the manager and just pointed out the hair to him and didn’t say anything. He
Said nonchalantly «Ohh sorry, we’ll make another for you» and just took it back. We got new hairless tacos and they were really good. But the experience was just gross and the service was bad probably due to the entire place employed by 16 year old kids

Best discovery of Valencia healthy and wholesome food. Feels good on every count. Mint squash is a treat. Chicken and avocado sandwich with goat cheese made the day.

This is such a cute café. I bring my girls here for brunch sometime and they love the blueberry pancakes! The atmosphere is super relaxing and calming and they are very friendly. There is also free wifi. Since they open early, this makes them a good alternative spot to stop and grab breakfast.

Great and fresh food. Friendly service too.

I love this place! The food makes you feel good. Between the fresh ingredients and the way they are sourced, you can feel good about eating here mentally/​emotionally. Physically, I never feel heavy or gross because the food isn’t greasy or anything like that.
My orders have included:
–The unfried buffalo chicken strips are easily my favorite shareable. Definitely spicy but not just hot to be hot. They are very flavorful & the dipping sauce is great at cutting the heat.
–The Italian flatbread pizza is delicious but a little hard to eat. Not date food. :)
–Get the garlic parmesan sweet potato fries! Get them!
–Art’s unfried chicken is so good. I usually order it without the squash as it’s not really my favorite food in general but it is not the worst the way they make it.
–If you like dessert (& even if you don’t because I don’t) the chocolate budino is the way to go. I would go there just for that if I could.
–Just say yes to the cucumber mint Lyfe water. So refreshing. Similar to watermelon juice. I love it. But it’s not quite water. It’s sweet. Be prepared for that.
You order at the front and your food is brought to your table. Service has always been pretty fast. Water is self-​serve at the counter which is nice if you’re like me & you like to alternate between flare & bubbly water.
One downside is how crappy the parking situation is. My god you can really end up parking soooo far away. That isn’t really their fault though so I can’t fault them in the review for it.

Their Chicken, mushroom & spinach penne is deliciously tasty!
My friends & I were looking for a vegan friendly place to eat at. This place was precisely what we were looking for & some.
We were all satisfied with our food choices.

Delicious and fresh ingredients. The staff is friendly and helpful. Last time, it took a long time to get my food but it was worth the wait. Try quinoa bowel it’s very satisfying and healthy.
The flavored water is complimentary. Their coffee is organic and they offer non-​dairy options. Try the chia chocolate raspberry dessert it’s amazing! Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed.

After a really long day and a two hour traffic jam on the 5, I developed a raging appetite. I’ve never been to LYFE and heard very mixed reviews, but felt like a healthy-​ish dinner was the way to go.
This place is very clean, well upkept, and is managed by friendly staff. Torn between a couple of items, I finally decided on the Blackened Mahi Mahi Sandwich, which I was warned, could be spicy. Additionally, I was offered a side dish of brussel sprouts and roasted squash. Apprehensive at first, I went with it.
The food came out quite quickly and from the first aroma I had a good feeling about the following first bite. The flavors were excellent, the fish was cooked to perfection, and everything worked very well together. The side dish too, ended up being one of the best roasted brussel sprouts I had. The entire combination had a beautiful balance of heat and sweetness executed with a masterful touch of a fine restaurant. There were minor issues, but nothing really worth mentioning.
I don’t often review chains, because there isn’t usually much to say about them, but if LYFE continues making this food, it will be the next Lemonade — perhaps better.

I really wanted to like LYFE Kitchen as the concept fits my personal preference. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a disappointment. Stopped by at around 10:30AM for an early lunch since we were in the area. The restaurant ambiance is great. I couldn’t decided whether to sit inside or out because both were appealing. We ended up sitting outside because the weather was really nice. The service was exceptional, everyone was very nice and accommodating. The food, however, is where they didn’t perform very well.
I ordered the Spicy Vietnamese Lettuce Wraps ($ 7). While their presentation was visually pleasing, the food itself was not good. The actual description states «crunchy romaine» but it was limp mush. I choked one wrap down and had to bail because the mushy texture was making me nauseous. Perhaps instead of placing the hot food inside of the lettuce (which makes it limp) they should keep the two items separate. I know, not nearly as visually pleasing but at least it will be edible. I brought this to the attention of the manager and while she offered to make me something else her response, «our lettuce wraps aren’t for everyone» was disconcerting.
My father ordered the Grilled Chicken & Avocado Sandwich ($ 9). It had good flavor but I found the price was a bit steep considering it doesn’t even include a side of anything. I also had their Ginger Pomegranate Lemonade ($ 3) which was very tasty. The total was around $ 20 and I couldn’t help but feel extremely unsatisfied. The likelihood of returning is slim but if I were to go back I would probably just stick with the lemonade.

While I do love the general concept of LYFE kitchen, the food here fell flat.
Not being a fan of their unfried chicken which is dry just as their sweet potato fries are lacking and just burnt, I went with a salad this time as well as the veggie burger and while both were ok, I was really missing some kind of sauce or anything to add it some flavor.
Service was nice, the food does take a bit to come out, longer than I would like.
Prices and portions are ok, quality fine.
The very best thing here is their ginger lemonades, hands down the reason I keep returning, I will have to try something else on the menu next time or just stick to the drinks.

I would love to give this place a 5star review but few mistakes got me to reconsider. My lady wanted to surprise me with Valentine’s Day lunch take out. She had a picnic planned out and her choice was this restaurant for the food.
I got a grilled chicken avocado sandwich with side of garlic sweet potatoes fries and a fresh squeezed OJ
She got a quinoa wrap and sweet potatoes fries.
Cookies as well.
We get to the picnic and my girl noticed we are missing our sweet potatoes fries. Just got our sandwich and wrap which ruined her surprise. She called and spoke to a manager regards the situation.
Not one apology from her, she kept saying I know i know I was the one boxing your food and since you guys wanted extra sauce I forgot to put the fries and it was to late by the time she noticed. She mentioned stop by and will make you fresh fries. (It’s not a excuse to forget half of our food cause we ask for extra sauce)
The wrap and sandwich was amazing, unfortunately we didn’t get to try the fries.
— a star for forgetting our fries
— a star for managers behavior a apology and saying something nice would of help. (No apology specially her knowing the situation) and she was the one who forgot to put our fries!
Over all great restaurant, great food, clean and modern, but lack of manager service.

Got the garlic parmesan sweet potato fries and quinoa crunch wrap. The fries were amazing and melted in my mouth. The quinoa crunch wrap was quite delicious and the ingredients were fresh. Not sure if I would order it again however.
The interior is beautiful!!! It’s amazing to see a place with such a great interior design here in Santa Clarita.
Perfect place for brunch/​lunch and I am definitely coming again.

Sorry this seems to happen in Valencia, a restaurant starts out really great and starts to go down hill. Not as clean as it used to be. Less food more money, food doesn’t taste as good as it did. Most likely will close like the other restaurants that were new and innovative but could not sustain the high rent at the mall and the top quality of food that they should be serving. I’m pretty sad to say, if Lyfe Kitchen doesn’t get it together, I’ll be done with the place. Just read a review that showed a picture of a grasshopper in their salad… I don’t like my food that organic!!! Besides bugs in food are a health violation. Next time my family wants to go, I may not join them, the grasshopper thing grossed me out!!!
Well at least they didn’t find half a grasshopper!!!

The menu is very limited; would of liked more options to choose from. I ended up with the flatbread. It was tasty, super healthy, some flavor. Eight slices, which had a good amount of food. I may consider this place again, might come back in for breakfast.
Side Note: Lots of seating, very spacious.

If you are looking for healthy food, then Lyfe Kitchen is your place to go. All of their food are made fresh to order with fresh ingredients.
Since I am for more taste than healthy, I ordered the farm house burger. Oh boy it was delicious. I didn’t know a burger can be delicious and at the same time be healthy.
While you are there, try their juices. We had the watermelon with Chia and it was also delicious.
I usually have a hard time finding something I like to eat at these healthy food restaurants but not at Lyfe Kitchen.

Lyfe kitchen!!!
Looking for a healthy spot to eat with flavorless food? Well this is the place my friend lol.
The restaurant itself is designed perfectly. All the minor details put into this place really make it stand out. I lovee the fork handles! So cute
The food is okay. Not much salt or flavor. Which sucks but i guess you have to let go of flavor when eating healthy. My first time here i did an order for spicy chicken soup, buffalo style chicken wrap, and garlic parmesan sweet potato fries.
The fries were my favorite!!! The aioli is tasty!
The wrap was flavorless :/​chicken was boring
The soup was extra spicy and oily.
My second time i ordered a veggie burger with a side of regular sweet potato fries.
Burger was okay. But again felt like it was lacking something.(maybe green pickles or a huge ring of red onion? Or grilled onions? Maybe a big slap of that aioli would have helped. I felt like i was eating bread and smashed beans. Uh
My extra order of avocado on top did no justice.
The ketchup or red sauce that came with the fries was gross!!! Tasted like vinegar and watered down tomato paste. Yerp
I will go back tho :) i cant wait to try the breakfast burrito and quinoa pancakes
