Filthy restaurant. Every table was dirty, floor was dirty, silverware was dirty. And yet staff wasn’t concerned with cleaning despite the restaurant being nearly empty. Can’t believe I spent $20 for this and the salmon was cold and rice was hard.

The bowl was small. There was no caviar, as per menus description, vegetables looked old and tired. This was not what you expect from 19$ bowl.

So I was going out bar hopping with friends in west LA. Seeing as I got to the area very early, I decided to go to Lemonade for a quick bite to eat. One thing I like about Lemonade is that this place has many healthy food options. This time around, I decided to get the ahi tuna, on a bed of quinoa. For the sides, I got green beans as well as yams. I got a side of sauce, that tasted a lot like soy sauce. I can't remember the name of this sauce, but I'll include it in a future review. The meal was overall great, it hit the spot, and it held me over until I met my buddies for dinner and drinks several hours later. This location sits close to the 3rd street promenade. Parking can be found at one of the many adjacent pay lots, although I was lucky enough to find street parking at one of the meters. This place is clean, well-lit, and a good place if you appreciate healthier food options. They have a restroom, which is customer-only, and it was clean and well-stocked. The staff provided good customer service, and my experience overall was great.

First time here an was over excited to see many vegetarian options. I was fooled thinking it was a lemonade stand! The bright yellow drew me in and I was so happy like lemon! Problem is I saw only one person there and she did warn that the line is slow today as she is somehow the server, cook, and all that was needed. She literally had to man the whole place herself. She even stated how surprise she was to come to work like this only to be told she'd be relief in 2 hours. For that I applauded her service in making best out the worst. She made lemons out of Lemonade that day. Ordered the salmon bowl with greens and I felt bad cuz I took the last salmon...which meant she will have to cook more salmon for the crowd of 6 behind us! She def didn't inch one bit in her service but I can tell how flustered she was. The food sadly was all dry and overcooked. I mean I am sure she could not have checked in all the food while she was also manning the front of house. I would hate to remove stars for this place because it was not her fault. She likely was not an expert in cooking! All the veggies were dried to the bone and Uber crispy. Lucky I like burnt edges so I was not too bothered. I would try again if I so happen to pass this place but many stars off for bad management.

Great customer service, delicious food, clean! Always a pleasure talking to Miguel and the rest of the team. My go-to lunch spot!

I totally understand that this is fast food. That said, most fast food places are consistent and have quality control. I don't think I've ever had a truly decent meal at any Lemonade. It all looks good when you're at the counter but it never tastes as good as it looks. And it ends up being pretty expensive for prepared food. I recently ordered a meal through Sharebite and the chicken was so over-cooked and dry, it looked fossilized. I bet if I'd ordered onsite they wouldn't have served this chicken. You should have the same quality control whether the meal is being served onsite or through delivery. Two stars only because the lemonade is good.

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. The food was subpar, with small portions, and the wait time was excessively long. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a better dining experience.
If you want healthy, this is your spot. Been here several times. They make a mean grilled cheese sandwich. Some of the other stuff looks good, too. No table service. They have raised their prices in the last few weeks; which will limit my visits.

Came back from a beach day in Malibu with the fam and stopped for a bite to eat. The place was a bit dirty, the food was "meh" and pricey. At least the staff was friendly. First and last time eating at Lemonade.

Used to go to the Lemonade on Sawtelle Blvd fairly often. A while back that location closed forever.Today went to the Lemonade in Santa Monica for lunch. Since the Lemonade on Sawtelle Blvd closed forever have tried several other Lemonades. The Lemonade in Santa Monica is the best of the other Lemonades I have tried.Had one portion of chicken and green beans. It was very good and more than enough food for me. Will try some of the other things the next time I am there.Did notice the water cups are smaller than they were at the Lemonade on Sawtelle Blvd.
