    I highly recommend this restaurant. Dining was an experience! Each course was artfully presented. I am an omnivore and thoroughly enjoyed my vegetarian tasting menu. My spouse got the vegan tasting menu and it was equally as good. Our staff took the time to explain each dish as it was presented. We will definitely come back!

    I recently had a birthday celebration gathering at this place, and wow, what a treat! We enjoyed eight courses, each one more creative and delicious than the last. Every dish was like a little work of art, and it was so much fun to see how unique each one was. The whole vibe of the place felt super zen, almost like a spa. It was all about taking our time and really enjoying each bite. If you’re looking for a dining experience that’s all about great food and a chill atmosphere, I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s definitely a must-try!

    For all food lovers, adventurers, and those with a curious palate, you must try this restaurant. Whether you’re into exotic flavors or simply seeking something new, this place offers a delightful surprise. I’m not exaggerating when I say this: this restaurant is a game-changer in the plant-based dining scene. As someone who enjoys fine dining and has explored almost every high-end restaurant in Los Angeles, I was initially skeptical about plant-based cuisine. The idea never appealed to me—most supermarket options seem like heavily processed attempts to mimic meat, which, to me, misses the point. It felt like an uninspired effort to recreate something it’s not, stripping the food of authenticity and appeal. When I first walked into Taste of Beauty, I’ll admit I was nervous. I feared I’d be served those all-too-familiar plant-protein burgers or faux chicken nuggets. But my concerns quickly melted away. Every dish was a masterpiece—not just visually stunning, with vibrant fruits and vegetables arranged artfully, but also preserving the pure essence of each ingredient. My friend and I tried both the seasonal and classic tasting menus. A thoughtful touch: the manager brought extra plates so we could sample each other’s dishes without missing a bite. What stood out even more was that the owner himself cared for us—a warm, witty individual who knew everything about cooking and vegetables. While presenting the dishes, he enthusiastically answered all my culinary questions, which made the whole experience feel personal and enriching. Now, let me highlight a couple of dishes I loved. From the seasonal menu, the standout was Island, a pumpkin-based soup with an intriguing blend of spices, crispy rice paper, and a unique golden ear mushroom floating in the middle. If, like me, you’ve had your share of sweet Korean pumpkin soups, this dish will completely redefine your expectations. From the classic menu, I highly recommend Forest—succulent, roasted king oyster mushrooms bru

    We did a $99 per person package - for which we made a reservation 3 weeks in advance. As we walked in, a waiter greeted us by saying "hey guys, sit wherever you want." We were taken aback, the vibe felt like a Panera and not a high-end restaurant. We proceeded to eat 8 mediocre tasting courses. The restaurant has office lighting, no vibe, no atmosphere. Cocktails feel like someone with ZERO training made them. Overall, an overly Instagram hyped restaurant which when you actually try it is full of incompetent service, tasteless food, and poorly made cocktails.
