    I had such a great experience at Taste of Beauty! This place is truly unique, with an incredible vibe and beautifully presented dishes that are all plant-based. Every time I come here, it feels like I’m in for something new and exciting, and this time was no different. They recently revamped their menu, and I love the changes. Now you can order à la carte, which gives so much more freedom to try different things! The new setup is great because you don’t have to commit to a whole set menu; you can mix and match whatever catches your eye. I tried a few different dishes this time, and every single one was a winner—so fresh, flavorful, and really creative. The staff is super friendly and genuinely excited about the food they’re serving, which makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for a spot with amazing plant-based options and a relaxed but stylish atmosphere, Taste of Beauty is definitely worth checking out. Already looking forward to my next visit!

    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!

    One of the best meals and dining experiences my girlfriend and I have had. The food was delicious, artistic, and the experience was very fun. I would definitely recommend going for a special occasion or if you want to treat yourself to a fine dining experience. Anthony our server did an amazing job and made the night unforgettable. Thank you Taste of Beauty!

    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
