Hi Ben. How are you? I am Miten. You don't know me yet, but we will become good friends over time. See, Ben, what you don't know about yourself, yet, is that you and people of your kind are the reason I can't see myself moving out of Cali. Because what on Earth gave you the unmitigated nerve and gall to sell me delicious, healthy, vegan fast food at a humane price in 2025? Is this legal under Federal law? Am I going to have to worry about you getting raided? (We are in LA...) I don't know if this is the most noble money laundering scheme ever, or if you just have THAT great of a heart. As for me, well, I plan on sticking around to find out, sir. read more

Ben's Fast Food - Chickpea + greens - New American Near Me - Lawndale, California

This is a takeout only place, part of a communal kitchen. There are 3 tablets to check in for your order, which upon checking in, a locker door opens. The food options all looked great, especially with affordable pricing! However, the taste was meh. I got the greens & grains bowl and something was not hitting flavor profile wise. Maybe I needed more rosemary balsamic. I'm not a fan of parsley and somehow it was in there - maybe part of the cabbage salad. As a veg, the fact that this is a fast food spot focused on healthy eats is amazing! Maybe I'll try a different dish next time and see how it goes. read more

Ben's Fast Food - (V) Chickpea & Potato Mixed Bowl - New American Near Me - Lawndale, California

Food is fast and flavor is great. It is a ghost kitchen so you won't be able to sit down. Food is very affordable, wish there were more fast food places with healthy options at a decent price. Hard to go wrong with any of the options. Will always be my go to spot for late night eats without hating myself. Do be careful as there will definitely be some nights where they will skim you on the meats. Got a chicken garden bowl and they're barely any chicken in it. But usually it's okay. Just be careful. Otherwise, great! read more

Ben's Fast Food - Notice the lack of chicken, I really tried to put most on the top. - New American Near Me - Lawndale, California

GHOST KITCHEN. Both bowls were great. For the salad bowl I did the smoky chipotle & hot sauce actually really good. The flavors we mixed in well. With the rice bowl we did the Rosemary Balsamic with the spicy sauce definitely addicting. There's is no server/service as it's just an order pick up and go. It was confusing walking in as I didn't know you had to order ahead online or they have a single kiosk in the hottest corner of the "store". Inside was small they have lockers you pick your food up in inside was very HOT. No ac and no type of air flow. read more

Bomb food, smooth and efficient pick up. You check in on tablet (can scan food order or manually enter your order #). It'll tell you which window it'll be ready in, when it's done. FOOD WAS BOMB! I love Mediterranean. A balanced, simple, clean meal for only like $10 ?? HELL YEAH AND A SMOOTHIE FOR $5.95!! read more

Please excuse my language but HOLY SHIT THIS WAS AMAZING! I was scrolling through google maps trying to find something new for lunch. I wanted something healthy and filling. I saw Ben's, saw some good reviews and I decided "why not, let's try it out." I ordered the chicken mixed bowl with lemon thyme sauce and it was delicious! So much flavor and the chicken was nice and tender. It satisfied all of my senses I will be ordering more often! * This is delivery or take out only* When I picked up my food it's was like a combination of Amazon locker and a ghost kitchen. My food was nice and hot. It was pretty cool read more

Ben's Fast Food - Chicken Mixed Bowl - New American Near Me - Lawndale, California

See all

Been ordering for a while but today they made a grave error. I am vegan and they sent me a chicken bowl instead of chickpeas. Really hungry and now I gotta find something else to eat. Super basic to get this simple thing right. Edit - not sure I appreciate owner's response. Dietary needs? Way more than diet. This is a moral and ethical issue. I choose to be vegan not because of my diet. It's way bigger than that. To open a meal I expect to enjoy because I have enjoyed it in the past and see the flesh of an animal is beyond disgusting. It is abhorrent. Only other vegans would understand. Really disappointed in the response. read more

I recently started putting more effort towards eating healthy. I was starving and wanted something that was delicious and nutritious Ben's fast food offered just that and I was surprised at how quick it came out and how convenient it was to pick up. One thing I really loved about the chicken and veggie bowl is the base of the bowl was chopped up, broccoli and carrots and not some half cooked cabbage or bag salad. The chicken was really good and the chipotle sauce was tasty!! read more

I stumbled upon this place while browsing through Uber eats and decided to give this place a try! Interesting concept where you order online and then you pick up through a locker. We got the chicken mixed bowl and the pork mixed bowl. Food was pretty healthy and ingredients seemed fresh! We also got the chickpeas and potato. I wasn't sure if it was the flavoring or not but it tasted very salty.... We couldn't eat much of it by itself unless we mixed it a lot with the rice or veggies. Overall it was pretty decent read more

Ben's Fast Food - Pork shoulder garden bowl w/ added walnuts & chipotle sauce~YUMMY! - New American Near Me - Lawndale, California

I was happy to find something gluten free. Food was delicious and fresh. And they're open till 1am. Highly recommended!

Absolutely love their food. I ordered through Uber Eats and got the chicken mixed bowl with Lemon Thyme Sauce. I also added on the smoky chipotle sauce and Ben's Hot sauce in case the Lemon Thyme wasn't to my liking. But ALL of the sauces were fantastic as was the chicken mixed bowl. Packed with flavor, the freshest of ingredients and very generous portions. I give Ben's Fast Food 5 stars right up there with my other favorite healthy food spot Umami Express! read more

Fast and really healthful food. Well made and tasty. Got the beef salad bowl and was blown away by how much food was in there. I was starving after working all day and I was topped off. No notes. read more

The food is super great, healthy, and filling. Can't believe how reasonable the price is, will be coming back here soon. My pork bowl was legit 10/10. Thank you guys! read more

I didn't even know this place existed until I found it on Uber Eats. I was jonesing for something clean and vegan after having bbq pork ribs for lunch, but was getting tired of salads so I got the green smoothie, a bowl, and the chocolate pudding and was surprised at how good it was. I will absolutely be back. Ever since Natural World closed I felt like there weren't any good vegan options in the neighborhood but I was wrong. Even if you're not a vegetarian or vegan, you would be hard pressed not to like it. And of course you can add chicken or pork to your bowl if you want too. read more

Talk about a hidden gem! I accidentally stumbled upon Ben's Fast Food while searching for healthy lunch options to order for the office. I went with a hearty bowl and have not looked back since. Great portion of food! Prices are close to fast food prices (better in my opinion). I order from here via Uber Eats at least twice a week now. At this point, I think they know my order as soon as they see my name...lol read more

I'm typing this review as I'm eating the food. It is AMAZING !!! I ordered the pork shoulder mix bowl with the Chipotle sauce . It's so healthy yet so flavorful and delicious.

Ben's Fast Food - Pork Shoulder Mixed Bowl - New American Near Me - Lawndale, California

First time ever trying out this place and I loved it! I bought 3 of the chicken bowls and 2 pork shoulder bowls for my family and everyone was happy and satisfied. The bowls were very filling and everything tasted fresh and delicious! Will definitely be ordering again from here next time I'm in town :) Also side note: finding this place was a little hard at first, there's no big sign or anything like that. Once it says you've arrived just park and you'll see the name of the restaurant on the window along with a few other restaurants and you can order on the screen once you walk in. read more

Ben's Fast Food - Chicken Hearty Bowl - New American Near Me - Lawndale, California

Easy healthy and delicious! I needed a quick stop, it is in a ghost kitchen which was interesting to me. Service was fast and workers were kind as I have never been to a place like this before. Will eat here again! read more

Really loved my chicken bowl. And it's super reasonably priced. It's in one of those ghost kitchens which I think help keep costs down which I'm all about. Horrible name though. I almost overlooked this place because I didn't want the stereotypical fast food but this bowl is healthy and delicious. read more

Ben's Fast Food - New American Near Me - Lawndale, California

How haven't I tried this place before?? Loved the chicken bowl with the chipotle sauce. Easy to order online and pick up from the locker (sometimes you just need to get food with minimal interactions lol). Highly recommend for healthy, filling "fast food" read more

I'm impressed at the food quality, price, and taste. Everything tasted really fresh and, as advertised, nutritious and healthy. We got chicken bowls which, for being under 10 bucks in this economy, was a great dinner choice for us in our busy schedule for that day. I didn't have to feel guilty eating fast food or pay extra dining at a restaurant nearby. If you're in a pinch for a meal and don't want to waste money or calories, this is a great option! read more

We landed late and need fast food dinner but we wanted nutrient rich food, not burgers and fries. Ben's was fast and delicious. I wish it was closer to my home. read more

Reasonably priced, quickly made and healthy food! Great for healthy and fast service!

What a lovely hidden gem! I was feeling burned out with my regular rotation of healthy eats from Mendocino Farms, Sweetgreen, Health Nut, etc., and was looking for a simple/clean bowl or salad. Via Postmates, I ordered the Chicken Mixed Bowl with Smoky Chipotle sauce and the Hearty Bowl with Chicken and Ranch with two green smoothies. My boyfriend and I loved our bowls (he did wish he got my smoky chipotle sauce since the vegan ranch didn't QUITE scratch his traditional ranch itch). The chicken was very juicy, and tender, and the vegetables and greens were crisp and fresh. The portion size was incredibly generous and left us satisfied. The smoothies were refreshing and delicious with a very tropical-forward flavor profile. This may have been because of delivery, but the consistency of the smoothie was a bit thinner and whipped, like a fresh juice frappe, which I enjoyed as a complement to the meal and didn't make me too full. Will absolutely be ordering/picking up from Ben's again! ALSO--the prices are HARD TO BEAT. We got several extras on both our bowls and they were still under $12 via Postmates. For the quality and portion size of the bowls, this is an absolute steal. Thank you for making fresh food accessible in our neighborhood. :) read more

Quick, easy, hearty. Not a sit down resto, it's a ghost kitchen. You order there or online and then check in on an iPad. Then you wait until your order is put in a locker or they hand it to you. read more

I had the most delicious chicken bowl for less than $11. Every single ingredient was super flavorful. I will 100% be coming back

Please open one in Redondo beach! Fresh, healthy and tasty food. The right amount of flavor, not over doing the flavor to over compensation for people who think "healthy food is bland". Prices are reasonable. I will be a repeat customer! read more

I inadvertently chose this place without knowing it was entirely gluten-free and dairy-free! So very allergen friendly. I got the one bowl that's vegan, and it was...okay. Not bad by any means but not fantastic. I'd eat it again but wouldn't go out of my way to do so. You can see in the pic- the chickpea-potato mix is like gray in color? Idk, it was just a little odd. Didn't really taste of too much. That said, the chipotle cashew sauce was vegan and so yummy! I did enjoy that. I also thought it was very reasonably priced! $10 for a bowl that was pretty filling. And they were not stingy with the walnuts I added! So those are both a major bonus. I also tried the chocolate mouse - I'm sad to say it but it was kinda disappointing. It looked so good but it was also very mediocre. I'M SORRY BEN. Thank you for being cheap, gluten free, and having a vegan option. Your sauce was great if that counts for anything :) read more

It was late at night and I was looking for something quick but healthy and high protein after a workout. First time ordering here and I felt a bit deceived since it doesn't mention on Yelp that it's part of a shared kitchen arrangement. You don't realize it until you drive up and walk into the waiting area and see the lockers and iPads. Their menu seemed almost identical to one of the other places, Umami Express, which included similar bowls just with different sauces. The wagyu bowl was the biggest disappointment. First, the price tag of $24 for a bowl. And then the wagyu actually looked and tasted more like a tough piece of brisket or hanger steak. The meat portion is also very small compared to the veggies and mixed green or millet base so you would have to order an extra side of meat to make it worth it. Secondly, each bowl comes with one very small container of your choice of sauce but that small container of sauce isn't nearly enough for the whole bowl so it feels like they're trying to nickel and dime you to pay for extra sauce and extra meat to make the bowl a complete meal. The chicken bowl was fine but the portion of chicken was minuscule compared to the mixed greens and millet with other veggies so it tasted more like a veggie bowl with chicken as the garnish. Since it's one of those shared kitchen set ups, there's really no "service" and the vibe is just like an Amazon drop-off point since you place your order on the provided iPad and just wait around until someone at the window calls your name. I don't know why they even add the option for tipping on those iPads at places like this. Even though it is healthy "fast food" and open late, it is just not worth the cost based on the portion of meat served in each bowl. read more

Food was delicious! I ordered the slow roasted chicken which was so flavorful and juicy. I appreciated the portion size, I loved the taste of everything. It was fresh and i enjoyed the different textures and flavors. The best part is the price especially considering this is healthy! I will definitely be back! read more

Ordered off Uber so i couldnt tell you what the place looked like or how the workers were. But what I was expecting to taste from this place didn't meet my expectations. I don't wanna be that guy but it was semi tasteless.. price was fine and it was filling but if you're looking for flavors to pop in your mouth don't expect it from here. Cava and Sweet Green take the cake for flavor. This place is aight for healthy sustenance. That's it. Sorry fam. read more

I ordered this on a whim one day and wish I would have found this place earlier. This checks all the boxes - Good value for the $, Healthy, Fast. Tasty fun drinks that would replace a soda too like their green smoothie. I plan on being a regular. read more

Looks like a FedEx drop-off location. The ordering is simple but weird because there's no human contact. Now the food.. it's absolutely delicious. From the fresh veggies to the tender meat. The combination of ingredients is amazing. You can't beat how reasonably priced the meal is. The portions are nice and hearty. It won't leave you hungry. You'll spend less money here for a tasty healthy meal than at any greasy fast food joint. I swing by this spot to get a super healthy meal twice a week. read more
