Went here once and ordered a bowl of soba noodles, which were cooked to mush with veggies to match. The food was as bland and as flavorless as I imagine baby food is, although I doubt baby food would set you back around $15. I couldn't eat much and wouldn't give the remains to a rat. This was the worst... more

My wife and enjoy dining at Native Foods when we visit the Palm Springs area. Neither of us is a vegetarian and we always enjoy our meal. From their quasi burgers to soups and salads I have never had a bad meal and I always am impressed with the fresh ingredients and wonderful flavors. The only down side is that... more
