We are an amazing experience in eating Healthy Vegan Food in Boyle Heights at Un Solo Sol.
Lance H.

Solid Vegan and the food is not only to nourish the body, but your mind and soul. We had an excellent meal today! This was my first outing since my recent hospitalization and rehab to build my body back in fighting cancer. My Queen Michele and I were coming from LA County Medical Center to follow up on my surgery. We are on a new path eating healthy food and getting the right foods for our bodies. The opportunity to first learn about a place in my Barrio of Boyle Heights and meeting Carlos (the owner) who shared his experience with us in providing healthy food to be the "medicine" for our bodies, "Sunrise to Sunset"! We had the Curry Peas Bowl, Shiitake Mushrooms enchiladas and the Green Pozole with Mushrooms, I highly recommend it. We happen to run into fellow Rough Riders

Al Pastor Bowl
Ann S.

Somehow this little restaurant does not get its fair share of applause in the LA vegan community. The food is fresh, flavorful, and healthy, and I'm so glad we finally tried it. The owner was so friendly and helpful, and he took a moment to share his mission of making health food that doesn't just avoid animal products, but also nourishes the body. I ordered the enchiladas (one Paula's Mix and one the Chickpea Mix filling). They were stuffed with so many beans and veggies and piled with more veggies on top. The veggies were seasoned so well and the salsas (both red and green) were delicious. It came with a choice of sides and a side salad as well. My husband got the 16 oz Al Pastor Bowl and a pupusa on the side. Both were delicious. The restaurant was small inside, but very clean and had a friendly atmosphere. Parking was a bit of a hassle - street parking only in a jam-packed neighborhood, but it was well worth circling to find a spot. We will definitely be back.

Food was delicious and mighty healthy. Owner was so attentive and welcoming. Wull definitely come back!

Al pastor burrito "Tofu"

I was pleasantly surprised. If you are looking for good, clean eating food, this place is a must try My enchiladas were" tofu" pastor inspired seasoning, the other shredded calabasas, tofu light and delicious!

Super delicious food we tried pupusas, enchiladas and cauliflower ceviche all were delicious! Server was super nice and helpful. Would come back if I was in the area.

Chila Chilaquiles (Raquel's)
Aracely B.

Such an amazing spot, can't believe it took me forever to check it out. They specialize in vegan food and it's absolutely amazing. Whether you are vegan, watching your weight or just want to try a new delicious spot, then make a stop here! The service is amazing! They made sure that we were able to submit our order through their QR code and checking on us to ensure that the food was good. I highly recommend to check this spot out, even if you aren't vegan. You won't even realize that it's vegan because that's how good the food is. I ordered the chilaquiles and know that there was nothing left once I was done. My table order the potato tacos and enchiladas, both plates were also delicious.

Pupusa
Sonia C.

Food was amazing! Had the pupusa with organic masa, beans n greens and a sweet delicious steamed banana. It tasted like comfort! My gf had the rainbow tacos...which I'm getting next time! The el pastor mushrooms were made with love.

If I could give Un Solo Sol more than 5 stars, I would. This is hands down one of my absolute favorite restaurants, and I truly cannot say enough good things about it! What sets this place apart is how extraordinarily clean the food is. The level of detail and care they put into making sure they are serving the absolute cleanest, highest-quality options is nothing short of extraordinary. It's incredibly refreshing to find a spot that prioritizes wholesome ingredients this much without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. Everyone needs to come here just to taste what truly healthy, good food can actually taste like--it's a total game-changer. Every single dish feels vibrant and nourishing. Beyond the amazing menu, the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. Carlos is also very kind and goes out of his way to make every visit special, which just adds to the magic of the whole experience. You can really feel the passion, heart, and soul they pour into this establishment. I honestly wish I could eat here every single day. Do yourself a favor and check it out--your body and your tastebuds will thank you!

Delicious food
Joseph R.

I absolutely love this place! The owner is so nice! This is such a healthy snack. Authentic food. The whole vibe is very chill and that of an authentic Mexican restaurant. Amazing if you're vegan but also just an amazing spot for non vegans or veg curious! Please do yourself a favor and check this place out!!

Danny C.

A fantastic restaurant with great health-conscious food and exceptional service. We were served by the store owner. He's been vegan for decades and shared with us a plethora of diet and health advice, delving into topics like live gut bacteria, the benefit of leafy greens, etc. He clearly cares about his customers' health. He explained that he tries to avoid serving fried food, sugary drinks, etc. There is a single-stall bathroom in the back of the kitchen that you have to be escorted to. Give this place a try. You'll come to see that food can simultaneously be healthy and delicious (:

Are they open today? No one is answering

No but they took my reservation and made us show up to a closed restaurant. They should seriously update their yelp account!

Hello, is everything vegan/vegetarian, or do you also serve real meat?

The last I spoke to an employee, they serve eggs and chicken. They just recently stopped serving beef.

The flavors combinations are all done so well and fresh! The accompanying sauces deliver quite a potent and spicy punch so you will not need that much in each dipping. Of the three flavors of Sweet Pork, Spicy Anchovy, and Kimchi Quinoa. I liked the Spicy Anchovy the best as it provided a strong crunch with the fish and had a spicy component as a standalone roll. Their packaging and bags all come with handwritten names and through the COVID-19 crisis, they offer contactless delivery drop off options. Also for April 2020, all profits from Ganchi are donated to the LA Food Bank mission :)

What a beautiful space! I attended a private event here sponsored by a law firm while I was in town…read morefor a conference, and the restaurant was closed for our group that evening. The first thing that struck me was the restaurant itself. There is glass everywhere and a huge bar right in the middle that immediately catches your attention, along with an open kitchen toward the back. There is plenty of indoor seating as well as some outdoor seating. The hospitality started the minute we walked in. We checked our coats and were immediately greeted by a server holding glasses of champagne. That's my kind of welcome! This wasn't a traditional sit-down dinner. Instead, there were tables filled with food, including charcuterie and salmon salad, while servers circulated with additional appetizers. The chickpea balls, beef skewers, and beet appetizers were particularly fabulous. Drinks were limited to a preset menu, but that really didn't detract from the evening. The service was outstanding. The staff was attentive, gracious, and constantly making sure everyone was taken care of, but never in an intrusive way. Even with a fairly large private event, there was an impressive amount of personal attention. I didn't stay particularly long, but I definitely left wanting to return. I can't really judge the neighborhood because it was dark and rainy and I went directly to the restaurant by rideshare, but given the circumstances, I was happy I had taken one. Beautiful restaurant, fabulous food, and, most importantly, exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. I would definitely come back.

The Bottom Line 3.5 stars: Good option when in the area, with some concerns as noted below…read more Location 3 stars: Downtown Los Angeles Arts District, northeast corner of Matteo Street and Whittier Blvd, across the Matteo complex. Coming from the San Fernando Valley, nearest Freeways are the 101 (Exit 2A - Alameda Street/Union Station) and the 5 (Exit 135A - 4th Street). There is limited street parking. We self-parked in a paid ($10 after 6 PM) structure attached to the complex. Venue 4 stars: Huge venue with indoor seating, a large bar area, and a nice rustic and relaxing patio area. Service 3.5 stars: Friendly and helpful but not very attentive. Food 3 stars: We stopped by for lunch on a weekday. They were serving their Brunch menu at that time. It featured a large assortment of offerings including soups, salads, specialty items such as Avocvado Toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, burgers, sandwiches and egg dishes such as Eggs Benedict, omelets, wraps and sandwiches and chillaquiles. We had the Zinc Benedict (Salmon), the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Avocado Toast. All were just OK but unfortunately lacked in plating/presentation and taste and were rather small for the price. Also their "poached" eggs are not really poached... they were steamed in molds, giving them more of a rubbery texture compared to a true poached egg. Drinks 3.5 stars: Full bar, specialty cocktails and mocktails, specialty coffee/tea/matcha and juices. I had the Iced White Mocha, which was ok.

At this price point, there are better restaurants with faster service to visit nearby. - - - - - - Zinc, what an element - pun intended. I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

Unlike any other edamame with delightful garlic crisps that kept us coming back for more. A must order if it's available. Salmon bowl was fresh and the fish had a lovely mouthfeel. Very happily with the quality. The yuzu shoyu ramen embraces you with clean, layered flavors. It's not heavy or thick like a tonkatsu, reminiscent of a veggie ramen but packed full of umami. Well balanced and the thin noodles have a great chew. Thankfully each dish was a nice portion, big enough that you wouldn't mind sharing a few bites. Finished off with a matcha tiramisu which gave us the happy dance after each bite. So glad we stopped in. You should too!

We had a mixed experience during our visit. Although the restaurant offers easy, free parking and…read moreplenty of seating, the service fell short of expectations. We initially provided our order to an Asian server, but were later assisted by a different Hispanic/Latina waitress. A male staff member also checked in with a thumbs‑up/thumbs‑down gesture, which felt unclear and added to the overall inconsistency. I generally prefer when servers take orders with a notepad. While many can remember everything perfectly without one, in this case it would have helped -- we never received our water, and the waitress had to reconfirm our meat selection. Small details like that affected the flow of the meal. The food was decent. I would reorder the Yuzu Ratan ($19) and the Basque Cheesecake ($11), as those were the highlights. However, the Mango Margarita ($15) didn't taste like mango at all, and my boyfriend chose not to correct it. Overall, the dishes and drinks were just average. We've been trying to explore neighborhoods outside of our usual Koreatown and Silver Lake spots, so it was disappointing that this experience didn't stand out more. The restaurant does offer reservations, which is convenient, but the service and attention to detail could use improvement.

I suggested this place to my friends for a dinner meet up and was pretty embarrassed how I raved about it but this location totally SUCKED!! Should of realized that there was literally no wait on a Friday night even on Yelp wait list. Start of with the food... Prices are more expensive than their OC location. At least $2-$3 pricier for a plate. The food was underwhelming for the price tag. The quantity is less than their other locations. The taste was so bland!!! Banchans was underwhelming too. The selections was something we didn't want a refill on, maybe that's what they wanted? Lol. We ordered the MUSHROOM CURRY. Tasted like those packaged curry house from the market, aside from that, the curry sauce was more runny than thick. $2 extra for an overcooked egg. I ordered the brisket hot stone. $2 extra for an egg ad well. This was what I was craving so bad, and so disappointed I wanted to cry! BLAND! BLAND! BLAND! The hot stone pot obviously was not hot enough or the rice cooked with too much water because I wanted crunchy rice did not even came close to crunchy, even after I left ot on the hot plate for 15 minutes. The plate was kind of wet/moist and it was like steaming it on a hot plate and that's it! The $2 extra for an egg was overcooked on all 3 entrees. Isn't the yolk supposed to be a bit runny to cook on the rice?? My friensd ordered the bimbimbap and asked for no spicy because she can't handle any spice. Waitress said "OK" whatever that means, but failed to address the Kimchi was on the plate. The Kimchi is spicy, could of swapped it out with something not spicy but she never mentioned it. Hot stone on this plate was useless. Never crunched up the bottom of the rice. Instead tasted like steamed veggies with soggy rice. The best thing on the table was the japchae which they forgot about it and brought put to my other friend when the rest of us were almost done with our plates probably 15-20 minutes AFTER the rest of us got out food. No apologies, no acknowledgement. Just said, let me check on it TWICE! Japchae was good but a little to greasy from the sesame oil. Customer service was only non existence, no smiles, no emotions. We felt like us being there was a bothersome. Really? Business for you seemed bothersome! The water was room temperature water, and never came back to refilled it. Service kind of just vanished and took awhile to flag them down to get the anything and the check. Parking could be a nightmare. Street parking only or park at near parking structure for $10- $15 with some walking to get there. We were lucky, found street parking down the street. I could not expressed enough how numb I am feeling with this location and I will never return again!! Go to their Buena Park location where waiters know about their food. Where service is so much better with smiles and because they actually come over to mix your hot stone pot for you and gosh, my gosh, food is so much more delicious. Bigger portions and and prices are lower and THE RICE ACTUALLY GOT CRISPY on the hot stone pot. Lots of free parking too, but they are busy and wait on a weekend could be a little bit long.
