Front of Golene's Vegan Kitchen food truck
Tamara E.

As someone who's been following this business's Instagram for some time, I was pleasantly surprised to discover them during a farmer's market event at Loma Linda. Upon walking up to the food truck, I liked how their digital menu was shaded with an umbrella and staff was friendly and attentive. Hubby informed the staff about his nut allergy and staff quickly confirmed that he could eat all menu items and the cheese they use is coconut based. After looking at the menu, I decided to try the fried tofu and the mac and cheese egg rolls while hubby decided to try their carne asada fries. We were especially excited to see that they offer grape kool-aid to drink which made us feel nostalgic as kids of the eighties. They fried tofu was fabulous especially with the Thai chili dipping sauce. The mac and cheese egg roll was phenomenal in that crispy on the outside and packed and cheese on the inside. Hubby said that the carne asada fries were delicious and flavorful. The bottle of grape kool-aid was the perfect way to end the meal. My only annoyance with the food turck experience was that their desert of apple pie egg rolls was unavailable otherwise, I absolutely would've ordered those along with our other food items. Other than that slight annoyance of no desert, the food was so delicious, we will definitely plan to eat at their food truck the next time we have a chance!

Hub and I had Yolanda's Cauliflower Chickn' plate a couple weeks back and wow. Yummy! Although spicy (we didn't know it was supposed to be), the crunch on those pieces were amazing! It came with a side of coleslaw and corn on the cob. We also got the mac n cheeze eggrolls and I loved them. I love anything mac n cheeze lol Hub who is not a major fan of mac n cheeze, enjoyed these so much he had 2 eggrolls! That says a lot about those babies. our 2yo also enjoyed the mac n cheeze, in traditional form, with a fork and without the eggroll wrap will definitely try other dishes in the future! Customer service is A++! Thank you tons Yolanda!

The owner (who always seems to be there) is incredibly kind and welcoming. He has gone out of his way to encourage my children to be loving, respectful, and kind to one another, and those interactions mean more to us than he probably realizes. It reflects the compassion and family values that drew us to veganism in the first place. The food is absolutely delicious. As a longtime vegan, it's been so much fun getting to enjoy foods I thought I'd never have again, like a pulled "pork" sandwich and an amazing Reuben. Everything we've tried has been flavorful and satisfying. The restaurant is always spotless, the staff is consistently friendly, and my kids get excited every single visit because they know those gigantic cookies are waiting for them. If you're vegan, vegan-curious, or just looking for an incredible meal, Gentle Grill is a must-visit. We're so grateful to have a place like this in our community.

Our daughter, son-in-law, grandson, my husband and I came for another divine dining experience. We were seated right away as it wasn't too crowded. We noticed they rearranged the tables and seating. It's still so cozy and pristine with low lighting giving off an intimate vibe. The food was amazing as usual and it came out quickly! Never a bad meal here. Unfortunately, one star off for the service. We have come to expect the high caliber of service offered from Robin & Francesca from past visits. Our server Jessica was nice enough but not very attentive. We had to keep asking for our drinks to be refilled although it was very obvious that our glasses were empty. And there weren't a lot of people there. So our server really missed the mark. Thankfully, the food is consistently outstanding and mediocre service won't dissuade us from returning.

The food was healthy, served in large portions and was a very fair price. Definitely stopping by again!

Last time, my fiancée and I came in on our engagement day to celebrate with brunch and were turned away at the door because we had iced coffees from next door. Real classy way to treat customers. Management never responded to that review. Shocker. So against my better judgment, I gave them another shot this morning. Here's what happened: I have a gluten allergy. I told my waitress. I specifically asked her to check whether one of the menu items was gluten-free -- which she did -- and I clearly asked for my toast on a separate plate so my wife could have it. Simple request. Clear communication. Done. Food came out with bread sitting directly on top of everything on my plate. When I pointed out the mistake and reminded them of my allergy, the person who delivered the food had the audacity to respond with an irritated "I guess we are going to have to remake the food." You messed up the order. The attitude is completely backwards. Then my waitress came back to tell me she "didn't know" about my allergy. I stated it twice and had her look something up because of it. Either she didn't write it down, or the kitchen ignored it entirely. Either way -- a gluten allergy isn't a preference, it's a health issue. First plate took 15 minutes. Remake took another 15. While sitting outside waiting, we overheard our waitress telling another table their order had also been messed up by the kitchen. So it's not just us. Let's be honest about what The Mill serves: basic breakfast. Eggs, bacon, potatoes. This isn't a Michelin-starred tasting menu. It's breakfast. And you still managed to get it wrong twice in one visit. The "breakfast pizza" I've tried before wasn't good either. And the apple chicken sausage? It tastes like wet dog food -- I don't know what's in that but it should not be on the menu. To their credit, they remade the food and our waitress was pleasant despite everything. The hal-o-penyo sauce was genuinely good. That's it. That's the entire list of positives. The real issue is systemic. The kitchen staff is either disorganized or resentful about their own mistakes. Communication between the floor and the kitchen is nonexistent. Management clearly doesn't care -- they didn't respond to my last review, and nothing has changed. A restaurant that can't handle allergy requests for a scrambled eggs order is not a restaurant that takes its customers seriously. I gave you two chances. You burned both. I won't be back, and I'll be making sure my friends and family know exactly what to expect here.
