The salmon (salad or grilled!) is absolute HEAVEN. Also, try their Almost Raw, Real McCoy and Cast Iron Burger (veggie) Sandwiches.
Actually, just get anything with a side of quinoa salad. Get anything with a side of quinoa salad.
Did I mention the quinoa salad? It's so, so, delicious! -

The number of workers squeezed into this little store...ridiculous. I walked in and everyone was scrambling in a mad rush, with people at the registers all holding phones to their ears, furiously taking phone orders. This place gets crazy busy!
It's a really decent option for grabbing some fresh or healthy food on the go. I had the tandoori chicken with the quinoa salad and the coconut vegetables. The tandoor chicken was just okay, but the quinoa salad was probably one of the best quinoa dishes I've had so far. I'm gonna have to go for one of their salads next time. -

I had eaten the HealthyCa salad at HealthyCa back in January and was impressed by the size of the salad (super large) and the freshness of the ingredients but felt like the food was bland for some reason... well, it is a healthy salad and there is only so much you can do to jazz up lettuce while still keeping the salad healthy.
My work ordered out and I tried the Portobella Mushroom Burger and this was delicious! And my co workers who ordered the salads were super impressed by the generous portions... seriously the salads are gigantic!
I also had one of their fresh juices and it was delicious! Fresh and sweeeeet :)
HealthyCa gets an A+ for service (a nice man helped me bring my large to-go order out to my car), and an A for freshness and quality of the ingredients.
I would def recommend this place for someone looking to eat super healthy.
There is no parking so you have to find a meter in front or on the street but I haven't had too much of a problem. The whole joint is pretty small too- not too many tables. -
Review from Ewa M.

I work near HealthCA and since "healthy" options are not widely available around the neighborhood, HealthyCA is my SAVIOR, my personal piece of HEAVEN. Always crowded, always busy and always nice staff, I wait patiently with a grin on my face, cause I am about to eat something delicious. The workers move around maneuvering, moving in and out, as it is mostly pick up and delivery place. I usually order a pick up or if I feel like eating inside/outside, I call in my order on the phone 30 minutes before and eat it once I arrive. The sitting is a little bit tricky, but with some luck and patience, you might be able to snug a chair or two, but don't get too excited. On a nice day, I LOVE siting outside:)
Now, the food. Ah, the food. I think the main difference is that all the ingredients are very very fresh. The salads are oh SO SO SO good that you can eat them without a dressing! The portions are HUGE and satisfying. I love that you can chose your own dressing and a side. I usually get a side of quinoa salad, yum!, and lemon olive oil dressing with any kind of salad, such as Mediterranean soy, mmmmmm
On colder days, I treat myself with Veggie Delight, which is the most delicious vegetarian patty that I've ever eaten! SERIOUSLY. You can chose 2 delicious sides, like coconut curried vegetables and basmati rice, but the kicker is their home made pesto sauce that you can dip your veggie delight...mmmmm.....
I really love everything on the menu, including deliciously freshly squeezed veggie and fruit juices. And now, HealthyCA is dinner too!!!
Try it and you will be hooked, coming back more and more and more, as the combinations are endless and the quality NEVER disappoints. And supporting a small local business is a nice perk too;) -

Decent vegetarian place, but I prefer Native Foods or Veggie Grill over this establishment. I found their salad/sandwich prices to be quite expensive compared other vegetarian locations. Also, they lack indoor/outdoor seating, so we had to take our lunches to a nearby park. Perhaps I'd give them another chance in the future.

Review from Derek T.

Oh, HealthyCA. I must have done something right to find you in my life.
I happened upon HealthyCA about two years ago while looking for vegetarian/vegan options (they do serve animal protein though) in the area for lunch with a friend. Since that fateful day, I've frequented it at least five times a month, and at one point, two meals a day, twice a week.
The options here are eclectic, fresh and tasty. At this point in the game, I've had everything on the menu, including the fresh juices. I've never been disappointed! What's more impressive is that if you went over The Hill for this same meal, it would probably cost twice as much.
Standouts include, the portabello sandwich, quinoa salad, wild rice salad, cookies and southwestern salad.
Just a warning, this is a no frills place; it caters to local studios, easily, 100 meal orders are placed and out the door in 30 mins. Call ahead for take-out or be ready for a wait. Seating is MINIMAL. I mean, 20 seats in the house, TOPS. People are busy, but always manage to be polite. -

LOVE
I'm so happy to discover a healthy delicious place in the valley! That delivers!!
I called around 1 pm on a Tuesday for delivery. They said it would take an hour, but the friendly delivery guy was here in 35 minutes!
The salads are HUGE- I couldn't finish mine, and I'm a "finish everything on your plate" kind of gal! I got the Southwestern Salad which was great! It also comes with a little side (i chose quinoa) and a dressing of your choice!
I've also gotten the Salmon entree= perfection. The salmon was perfectly grilled and came with two sides of my choice. Grilled veggies are great- coconut veggies aren't as good, but I still ate them.
Yea, it's a bit pricey, but you pay for what you get, people. I'm a QUALITY type of person.
SUPER fresh, SUPER fast, SUPER DELICIOUS! GO! -

One of my favorite lunch spots in the valley! Today I had the California Spa Salad with cilantro lime dressing and a side of quinoa salad (which I poured on top). Mmm! So amazing!
Glad to see they've extended their hours till 9pm during the week. -

This is my favorite lunch spot! I've tried all of the salads and am now making my way down the sandwich list. Everything is delicious and fresh! Portions are large so I usually eat half for lunch and save the rest for an afternoon snack or light dinner. My favorites so far have been the: Albacore Salad, California Spa and Southwestern Salad. Their dressings are delicious and the lime cilantro is DIVINE. My only complaint is that there isn't one in West Hollywood so I have to go over the hill to get it!

I usually walk to Healthy CA when I've forgotten my lunch at work. The food is great and I always get the tuna sandwich on whole grain bread with the fruit side. The downside is that the meal is $12. It's nice to know that they use fresh products, but I couldnt afford to eat here a lot unfortunately.
Also, the place is SUPER trendy. I always feel like a dorky blob every time I walk in. The hipsters definitely order from here. But at leat they're nice! -

This has got to be the tastiest most original sandwich/salad/catering place in town. They make all their food super fresh and from scratch and they use interesting (but not scarry) ingredient choices. -

This is the best healthy place I actually enjoy eating. Amazing salads/ sandwiches. It's not much of a fancy place, more for pick up /delivery or a quick bite to eat outside. You can't go wrong here

Review from Gabriela G.
Los Angeles, CA
I was totally impressed by this place. Very humble from the outside. Very few tables all filled with wannabe actors post yoga, body builders post gym, and overworked movie hands post production. Once inside places to sit are scarce as well. Walk up counter and order from a very extensive menu of healthy, yet mouth-watering items that make the even most stick-to-their-guns individual very indecisive about what to order because the next item sounds just as good as the previous!
Open kitchen reveals an assembly line of workers putting meals together at light-speed. Its noisy and filled with movement. Once your order is placed you hang around to snatch one of the few tables available. outside the tiki tables were dingy and the chairs uncomfortable, especially if you are petite like me.
Once the food arrived i was blown away. I was instructed by my friend to order the quinoi salad as a side (you get a side dish with every order) and it did not fail to impress! quite delicious, quinoi was perfectly cooked, not too dry, and not to mushy. I ordered the Albacore Salad with the fat free homemade basil dressing and it did not disappoint. WOW! All the ingredients were fresh and had their own individual textures and flavors, it's as if each item was carefully considered before carefully placed in my bowl. Unlike other salad places that can be stingy with the protein, or limited selection of items, this one was an eclectic mix of elements that vibed together harmoniously to the taste.
Salad bowls are huge, so i got a to-go container for later. And my left-overs served as the most refreshing snack later in the day.
My friend ordered the Southwest chicken salad with the lime cilantro basil and substituted the chicken for Tofu. His was good, really good actually, but we both agreed that mine was better!
I also ordered a green juice and was surprised at how inexpensive it was (under $5) for a 16oz. This was the most disappointing part of the experience. it tasted watery and though i had asked for ginger, if there was any in there it was lost in the blandness of the overall drink.
I would absolutely come here again! In fact, i want to make plans to go back this week! there's so many items i want to try on the menu.
During the time that we were there lots of production assistants came in only to rush out with baskets of meals to go. My friend who had gone with me told me that when he worked on a film in Burbank they ordered lunch from here every day.
Not a place to sit and hang, but definitely a place to grab a yummy healthy lunch.Listed in: Self Love, Self Care!

The place is very small. The seating is very limited. However, I did have the Chinese Chicken Salad and it was very good. They do have an assembly line style kitchen and people are constantly working in the back preparing meals. It is best to have your food to go or delivered. I would give this place another try.
I would like to update this review because I had the Quinoa Salad with a side order of chicken and it was sensational. -

Rarely does a lunch place warrant my attention for a review on Yelp. However that being said, I have been meaning to try out HealthyCA. It's in my neighborhood and I can always use an alternative to sandwiches or ramen, my staple lunch time meal.
Stopped in a little before noon, around 1145am, the place was already bustling with take out and delivery orders, however the busy cashier was able to take my order promptly, make a couple of suggestions and within 5 mins I was served my Ratatouille Salad with one of the tastiest side order of quinoa. YUM!! I ate it all up, was supremely satisfied and glad that I got there before the after 12pm lunch time rush.
The plus with this veggie meal, was considering the small amount of carbs, NO after lunch slump from carb overload. Awesome!
I will soon be back to try out the other items that all look and sound just as appetizing. ;)
The only thing that bugs me is the name.... it would have been nice to seen a name slightly more original sounding...oh well ;) -

We were beyond impressed with this place. We ordered the swordfish in a fantastic bean broth with the spectacular grilled asparagus(some of the best we've ever had) and the turkey sausage roll with the quinoa salad(again, one of the best we've had). Do yourself a favor and stop by. It's phenomenal.

I never thought a place would have me begging for more quinoa!
Now stop reading and start driving/jogging to HealthyCa! Everything I've tasted here is delicious, wraps, sandwiches, salads, even their tandoori chicken! A Must: their fresh squeezed juices!
I've always scored parking right out front, and always take my food to go, so I haven't had to fuss with the VERY limited seating.
Also, I don't think they are open on weekends, so this is stricly a spot I can visit on carefully selected "sick days".
Bottom line: Go here. Eat. Your non-lethargic body will thank you. -

What a gem! One would think that living in Los Angeles, places like this would line all of the streets we drive every day: Tijunga, Laurel, Vineland... but it's just not the case. Clean, fresh, fast, healthy eating it seems, is a luxury unless you want to go the fine dining route which can still be hit or miss or a little on the heavy side.
Enter HealtyhyCA- The Spa Restaurant disguised as a hole in the wall catering company.
Both myself and the French Girls have never been disappointed by a single meal we have had here. Where else can you go to eat vegan, or have swordfish and coconut curry vegetables, or have a fresh smoothie or vegetable juice, or a turkey sausage sandwich, or a salad with so many you can hardly stand it.
HealthyCA is the PERFECT place for lunch or an early dinner when you just want something quick and easy, but don't want to sacrifice quality of food. Everything always tastes fresh, and if you go at non peak lunch hours, it's fine to sit down with a friend.
The staff is super friendly. One of the girls, after only going in twice, actually said Goodbye Tari, as I left one day and I had to do a double take. How's that for making you feel special? The kitchen hustles, and even though they have hundreds of takeout orders I have never waited too long for a meal. You can also get a strong sense of camaraderie from watching the staff work together.
I've listed a few of my favorites already and to this day and I regularly try something new. I'm a big fan of the morning shine smoothie. (something that I can probably just start making at home!) Something about strawberry, banana, honey and oat bran... yum.
Tip: go in for an early dinner, get it to go and go eat at the park! -

BEST. LUNCH. EVER!!!!!
The ingredients fresh, the flavors spectacular and the portions HUGE! (Note: be prepared to wait - even with take-out - but trust me, totally worth it)
The Salads TRULY AMAZING - and HUGE!!! Love the Albacore, Healthyca, Chilled Orient & Chinese Chicken. Quinoa is their best side, hands down... and quite possibly the BEST Quinoa I've ever had anywhere!
Sandwiches? Outta this world!!! My faces: Real McCoy, Venetian & Healthyca Sausage.
Hot Dishes? Deeeee-lish!! I go for the Glazed Salmon or Tandoori Chicken... with quinoa and coconut vegetables.
You will NOT be disappointed!!!!!!!!!! -

Very cool place, very warm and friendly. Welcomes you in with cozy and clean ambient. Food is just amazing. Cook is a pro judging by it. Puts a lot of effort into it. Fresh, well cut, sorted with style and pretty original. There's no mistake with this place.

The best salads and so fresh and healthy too... I love their quinoa salad side dish, salmon salad and the white albacore... They provide lots of salads to go and they deliver too...
Very clean and the staff is friendly and courteous...
I love this restaurant, it's small and they make really yummy smoothies too with delicious fruits and you will want to go back again and again. My new favorite little hole in the wall, I agree with Lisette. -

Though the seating is limited and not very conducive to quiet or private eating if you can even get a seat, the food is outrageously delicious. Their salads are to die for. I've never had one that disappointed. The dressings are amazing, the combos of flavors in the salads are amazing. The quinoa side is my favorite, and the drinks can be unexpectedly mediocre for the price, but the food is well worth it. You owe it to yourself. Go. Go now. Go often. No matter what you like in a salad (or think you don't like) they will have something that will blow your mind.

Decided to try this place out yesterday. I ordered a southwest salad with lime cilantro dressing and it was so good! Everything is extremely fresh and the portions are huge. Had the second half of the salad today and it was still fresh. They have wonderful hot meals too like glazed salmon with grilled asparagus which I'm looking forward to trying next time. Definitely coming back.

If you're looking for an awesome salad or juice, this is the place to go. They offer free delivery with a $15 minimum purchase.
MUST TRY:
FRESH MIND JUICE! It's SUPER REFRESHING! I really like the hint of mint in there. This is perfect for a hot day, especially in the Valley.
Parking: Street. It could be difficult finding parking especially during lunch hours.
Service: Very good. They serve you with a smile and you can definitely tell that they are putting their backs into creating your dish or juice.
TIP: IF you know what you're going to order, make sure you give them a call at least 30 minutes prior. They might tell you that it will take 15 minutes for your order to be ready for pickup, but 4 out of thr 5 times I've called, my pickup order was ready in 20-25 minutes during lunch hours.
Some juices might be absolutely disgusting BUTthey are extremely good for you! So, if you're looking for a tasty yet healthy drink, go for the freshmind! -

I've only been here once (so far), but I will definitely be going again! Amazing salads (I had the California Spa) that are bigger than you would expect for the price. And what a wonderful array of ingredients in each salad! My dining partner had a wrap that was equally delicious.
Very small venue with only a few tables for seating, so I would recommend arriving before (or after) the lunch rush. -

I often order from this place for work and I think mid-good level is a right review for this place! The menu is healthy and filled with good options for a lunch during a work day. (Who said Chinese or a burger is the way to go?!) Salads are good but not the best, but the service is fast and the delivery guys are cool! Tip them well. Just be sure to call in advance, about 11:30am, if you need food by 1pm...just in case your bosses need to eat like mine do ;) I just want to add that they have really good juices too! I was happy I found my anti-City Wok option!

I don't give 5* ratings easily or lightly, but this place is amazing. A top-notch sandwich is all about fresh and tasty ingredients. HealthyCA is all about fresh. The whole wheat Ciabatta bread is fantastic.
The salads are also extremely fresh and huge for what you pay for.
This place should be on everyone's Burbank area short list. -

Supah staff, and SO MANY gluten/dairy free options!!!
Had the Cali salad, minus the pecans, and, the quinoa side to go.
Some kind of DIVINE lemony dressing which soothed my soul, and, all for around Ten.Bucks.
Thanks, guys, for the purrrrfect dinner after the longest, most arduous day
in recent memory.

I've had the good fortune of getting to order from this place for the past few days while on a business trip.
So far, I've sampled three of their sandwiches and have NEVER been let down! In fact, it's better than that! They've all been amazingly delicious!
I can't say anything of the actual place, because I've ordered mine out, but I can say that the food is fantastic!
The Real Mc Coy, Almost Raw, and Portabello were all varied, healthy, and delicious! Each time, I paired it with the quinoa salad, which has changed the way I look at quinoa. I now expect it to be THIS delicious every time! It's set a new standard!
My only word of advise, HealthCA is: Please consider using biodegradable wares for your takeout orders. I feel awful having to recycle plastic for my meals that I enjoy so much! There are plenty of great safe and biodegradable options out there! It would also much better fit your image of "healthy" Thanks!! -
Review from Erin A.
Los Angeles, CA
I've had their Chinese Chicken Salad w/ oriental dressing and Southwestern Salad w/ lime cilantro dressing both with the delicious Quinoa salad on the side. I would advise only ordering to-go because it's not a big place and they have only a few chairs outside and in the restaurant. Parking can be a bit difficult, but since the new CVS opened nearby you can maybe take your chance at parking there if you're just going to pick up. Also, another word of advice, call in 15-20 minutes (maybe longer during their popular lunch hours) before you plan on stopping by because that's the usual time they can whip up their magic. Oh, the Maple Pecan Quinoa cookies are really tasty too!
Only downside for those who work the 9-6pm jobs is that they're opened only Monday-Fridays (no weekends) at 11am and close at 6pm. shucks! Next time you play hooky one day, stop by and grab a bite! -

I'm new to the healthy food thing. But this place is good regardless! When you walk in you see people busily assembling sandwiches and salads. So far I have had the South Western and Asian salad. Both were filling, flavorful and had a pleasant presentation. If you are looking to eat good guilt fee I suggest you try it out. definitely worth the trip!
