The wagyu beef bowl is literally one of the best things I’ve eaten in 6 months. If you like healthy food, and are particular about ingredients, this place is for you.

Good healthy meals right up my alley. The protein portion is quite small though, I weighed out the chicken in my meal and it came to out to 65g which is only 10 grams of protein. Please consider increasing your protein sizes to the recommended daily amounts!

First of all, it’s really hard to find. No sign or anything. It was waiting in a locker and I had never used that system before. It’s also in a dark alley way. The food was mediocre, like a step up from Wendy’s. It was a small portion for the price and they didn’t give much meat like at all. I don’t recommend it. Good idea theoretically but I was disappointed.

Whoever gives Ben's less than a 5+ is smoking some stuff for real! Right after my cancer surgery, this place was exactly what kept me alive! I couldn't eat anything that was hard to digest, it had to be plenty of healthy easily digestible foods etc. Omgosh, Ben's Fast Food is amazing and was perfect! We ordered it almost everyday while I was healing from surgery! The nutrients from all the veggies and well sorted foods, fed my desperate need. And they didn't even know that the sweet messages they left on the bag everyday brought a huge smile to my face. Thank you Ben's! I'm cancer free now and it's because of businesses like you who aim to make healthy food/meals easily accessible! My only suggestion is come to Oregon! We need you up there!!!!! You'd make millions as the whole state is health conscious!
Anyways, we'll be back down here in February and then again in March for follow up doctors appointments so we'll see you again then! Thanks so much again! Sincerely, Jamie Dias

Is this and Palmita the same thing? Same stuff on menu and same location.

This is a ghost kitchen and the food has all the hallmarks of food from these places - small portions particularly of expensive ingredients like protein and avo, cold, bland overcooked diced veggies and luke warm. Not great.

I love Ben’s. I order it about once a week. Simple, healthy, delicious, and cheap. Perfect dinner for a busy weeknight.

Did not enjoy the chickpea / potato vegan bowl. Bland, mushy.

I had the Chicken Mix Bowl with the smokey chipotle sauce and it was AMAZING. I am allergic to dairy, gluten, and soy so being able to not worry about that with my meal was so nice. I also have ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) and have a really hard with certain textures, usually chicken is really hard for me to eat but I had no issues with this chicken!! The texture was consistent all the way through, pulled apart really easily, and was just overall amazing. The portions are really good and the food is very flavorful. I'm really happy with my meal. Thank you guys for the amazing food. I highly recommend this place!!

First time trying Ben's fast food! So good and great alternative from the typical fast food chains. I would love to see Ben's every where!

I think I ordered the wrong thing?I ordered the vegetarian bowl with a mix of greens and rice. It was all rice with a little bit of broccoli for the base (so maybe my order got misread). On the plus side, it's a good amount of food and it's vegetarian. On the minus side: kinda bland, the presentation was sloppy (just all thrown together in a mixture and a little plastic container of sauce), the smoothie was super acidic and tasted like unripe pineapple. I'm left feeling full, but a little bit bad... Like I shouldn't have eaten so much of it and I shouldn't have drank the smoothie... But I'm not hungry anymore. This would be better if the presentation was more like the photos and the smoothie was made with something in season (that's ripe).

We ordered two salads from here and they were both so good! Extremely filling and fresh. The best part is that it’s not crazy expensive. We’re so happy we ordered from here and will definitely become a staple in our

This food is incredible, especially if you are vegan and celiac (a near-impossible combo to find options for in this area!). To top it off, it’s affordable.Thanks for providing delicious, healthy food on a budget. Can’t wait to come back.

Ordered through Uber eats and my pudding was delivered with mold on it unfortunately. Now concerned about the sauce on my food.
