Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience w/ this company and the owner (as detailed below). We agreed to terminate service, but she has not issued a refund as promised (nor will return any calls/e-mails). Here are the issues: Service Delivery: I was promised and charged for daily deliveries Monday through Thursday ($10/day for both my husband and my meals). Unfortunately, the owner decided to change the delivery schedule without any advance notice (she sent me a text of the change after she made it). On Monday, I received two days of meals instead of daily meals...and still charging the $10 daily delivery fee (so we were charged $20 per actual delivery). Unfortunately, the quality of the packaging and items prepared (fish) don't last the second day. For health reasons, I couldn't eat fish that was prepared over 48 hours. The fish was slimy and smelled. Poor quality and not what she promised nor what we agreed to when I signed up for daily delivery service. Diet Restrictions: I communicated multiple times that my husband doesn't eat fish. The company prepared a fish based meal (halibut) for him which he could not eat. I have documentation supporting this restriction and the company promised to tailor our menu based on our preferences. I sent a text w/ a picture and she said she didn't remember anything. Service Days: Multiple times I communicated that we only wanted meal delivery service Monday through Thursday. I have documentation supporting this point. The company delivered meals for Friday despite what I requested and we agreed. Overall, we did not receive what we were promised. The owner (Lala) agreed to cancel our service and issue a refund on January 9th due to the service and quality issues. I sent an email recapping our conversation but she has not responded. Unfortunately, we have tried multiple times to resolve this directly with the company but reached a dead end. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Chef LaLa and enjoying her cuisine at LA Tequila Fest. The food was delicious, filet mignon on a bed of couscous, Yum! The Chef was lovely when we relayed our complements, with so much going on at the event it was so refreshing she took the time. Great vibes all around! read more

I have died and gone to paleo heaven! Where have you been all my paleo life, Lala? Your meals are seriously the highlight of my day. I never thought I'd be saying that about a diet service, especially one that caters to paleo. I just devoured a portobello mushroom burger that was so damn juicy, delicious and mouthwatering that I was inspired to get on here and write about it. Diet schmiet, there's no way you can convince me I'm on one! I've been on every diet/meal delivery service imaginable and this is the absolute best of them all. Look no further. You'll only be wasting your time and sacrificing taste buds that could be tasting this yummy food instead. I would give this place ten million stars if they would let me. read more

Complete rip-off. Disgusting food, not as described on website, chips from a plastic bag, arrives cold in the middle of the night, AND I have not been refunded for meals I never received. WHERE IS MY REFUND, CHEF NOURISH? Chef Nourish owes me $300 for meals that were canceled and never delivered, and which she repeatedly stated in writing that she would refund to me "tomorrow" and "today." Just what I want to be dealing with when I'm at home with a broken foot. (Rock climbing accident). https://www.chefnourish.com/sample-menu Doesn't that look and sound great? Haha no. Due to my broken foot, so a friend chipped in to get meals delivered. Turns out they are NOT delivered daily as the website states, but cold, two days' worth at a time, and in the middle of the night. It is not delicious homemade food, but gross and with multiple (possibly all) items that are not homemade. Also, your dietary preferences are NOT taken into account, or at least mine weren't. Unlike the gorgeous photos and descriptions of fried and soft-cooked eggs, the chef told me over the phone that they don't serve eggs that way due to the food not being hot and fresh, but cold and to be re-heated - none of which is stated on the website. In fact, none of the food bears any resemblance to either the photos or menus on the website. Apart from all else she got my actual order, for lunch and dinner, wrong. I only ever got two meals delivered, as I immediately canceled my order. The price of these meals averages to $23 each. Do these look like $23 meals to you? Breakfast: One slice of chemical-tasting cake, one tiny container of chemical-tasting yogurt, 2 strawberries, 2 raspberries, 4 blueberries, 1 small handful raw walnuts. Lunch: gray hamburger patty on wilted iceberg lettuce, Terra brand (not homemade) chips, and a big raw tomato. I specifically stated that I did not want raw tomato. read more

Great place crazy delicious. Gets a little crowded weekend eves but worth the wait. Reasonably priced

Chef Lala is amazing! The food is really flavorful and healthy. It has been great to have the flexibility, so each week we can adjust based upon my schedule. read more

Chef Lala may be great - BUT this is not who is cooking the food. This is a ghost kitchen concept with someone else who is in charge of menu and ingredients. She has rented the facilities out and branded it with her name - but the food is not hers. Enter the problems - delivery was a mess, orders never honored restricted items. At almost 24 a meal - you have no say in what your getting, and there is only so much brown rice, chicken, and salad one can consume in three days (every meal had this). She is a very lovely person - glad this seems to be working for some folks - but was a disaster for us. read more

Food is ok. Customer service is horrible. I asked to change my meal to keto. No one listen to me, I asked to skip few days, no one listen. They keep charging my card multiple times without asking around $750.00 each time without asking if they can charge. Never received invoice of what I received and , delivery service didn't come to pick up their bag and probably they charged again for them to forget to pick up the bag. Saying they will come Friday then Sunday and never came. After few times very frustrated contacted and the lady was very very rude saying why I'm texting so early. She could text me when she can and it wasn't even call. Saying "lady" "omg" this is too early. Be careful for your charges and pay attention if you decide to order make sure what you want to order and if you want to change and try to communicate probably very very frustrating. Never ordering again read more

My fiancé is so pleased he loved the food. He is always nervous when trying new meal plans but he was so happy from the start. It was super easy to order he told Chef Nourish was his goal is and she came with all the goods. Taste and presentation 10/10 he can't wait to try more read more

Chef Nourish is a food delivery program that promises to deliver fresh, clean, non-processed meals to your door step daily. This seemed like a dream to keep my goals in check and stay balanced and focused while healing after surgery. I booked 1 week of Chef Nourish delivery, and I couldn't feel happier or more satisfied. Not only is the food DELICIOUS (so tasty) but it's fueling my body with amazing nutrition while my body recovers from a major surgery. I would highly recommend this program for ANYONE wanting to stay on track, learn new healthy food ideas, get on a new healthy program (like trying out gluten-free, Paleo, Dairy Free, non-processed, clean, etc.) in the Los Angeles area. Lala (Chef Nourish) has been a pleasure to work with. I am beyond grateful that I found this food delivery service. Happy healing to me!! read more

Chef Nourish - Breakfast was AMAZING today! Yummy! - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We just completed 20 days of Chef Nourish food delivery service. WOW, were we impressed! The food was so fresh!! Chef LaLa catered to all of our food preferences, and she was very responsive at all times. We have tried other food delivery services before, but this one far exceeds them all for freshness, quality, and taste. I kept exclaiming how crisp and fresh, and perfectly cooked all of the food was. I'm hard to impress, but Chef Nourish really impressed me! read more

My millenial son who just moved back to Los Angeles from his Silicon Valley base camp and who works 18 hours a day and still feels it's not enough asked me for my help in getting him fed tastefully, healthy with a little bang for his buck. Never wanting to let any of my four sons down, I went on a quest to get him what he wanted. So, with interviews, taste testing, price comparisons and talking health and fitness with so many home delivery services my notes could have filled a duffel bag, I transposed all of those notes into a spread sheet the clear winner of this undertaking was Chef Nourish. She (Chef Nourish) was just a cut above them all in every category. My son subscribed to her home delivery service and is a happy satisfied camper and has never looked back. Some of his favorites are: Kale Salad Cobb Salad Organic Egg Over Easy Grilled All Natural New York Steaks Brownie Bites This particular son is a bit finicky and a tad hyper critical, so when he is "OK", it is total validation for a job well done Dad. With that, I'm going to pass it on and say, job well done Chef Nourish! read more

Chef LALA really actually cares about her customers, their dietary needs, and also taste buds! I have been using her meals for 6 months now and never got a meal that I didn't like! I lost 12 pounds on her plan and feel the best I've ever felt! I used to have stomach pains from all the junk food I used to eat and ever since I started her meals I no longer have bloated stomach issues! I even now have little baby Abs popping out since I started her meals because they are clean, low calories, and fresh! Thank you for always putting up with my picky requests and having my meals on time! read more

Chef Nourish - Chorizo and eggs with tomatillo salsa, ALMA d flour tortillas and roasted butternut squash - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Looks like we're a Yelp Outlier, but all our interactions with Chef Lala and her team were pretty odd. I think maybe we got off on the wrong foot somehow, but they ending up sending us all the wrong meals. No biggie, mixups happen. But we have a newborn so were looking to make things easier with extra healthy meals, and had to call every day for three days with no response. Even sent a message on Yelp. It's bizarre getting a bunch of food you didn't order delivered to your house with no way to make it stop. Finally on day 4, got through, and they fixed the problem. They offered to send a free meal for the mixup, regardless of whether or not we continued, which was very nice. But when we said we didn't want to continue the service they said "okay bye" and hung up. Just odd. So all in all, food was good compared to other similar services like Fitness Kitchen, but service was real odd / kinda bad. Sounds like lots of other people love it, so maybe we're too sleep-deprived to know what real life is anymore. read more

Food was a refreshing flavor to my taste buds. Didn't know that healthy and fulfilling could be in the same sentence. But Chef Nourish meal preps are both healthy and very filling. And the accommodations to my meal plan are amazing. I have gout and my diet is special and hard for me to fit in my busy schedule so it's heart warming to know someone can help me with all and that and even enjoy it! Thank you chef nourish and staff for making my meals great and satisfying! read more

I have been using this food service for awhile now and the food is consistently great with quality ingredients.

Along with regular exercising, I recommend this food service to ensure a complete healthy lifestyle. read more

I found that most of the bad choices I made was at lunch time.I either skipped meals or grabbed fast food. I was too tired to work out at the end of my day because of it. I now start my day with a chef nourish breakfast, I heat it for one minute and I enjoy it on the go. I didn't like vegetables (let's just say they weren't my first choice) but let me tell you I can't wait to tear this Lunch salad up. read more

Chef La La is by far the greatest chef and food delivery option I've ever tried (and I have tried at least 7 different ones all over LA). Her food tastes amazing!!!! I never feel like I'm eating the same thing. She will customize your plan based on your likes and goals. The food always tastes fresh and has so much flavor! She delivers to Palos Verdes too! She's also very communicative with you which is nice and convenient. Loooove La La! read more

Chef La La is incredible. She called us back right away, and we were able to quickly set up meals that are clean, delicious, and nourishing for our sister in law who is having surgery. She is the BEST CHEF SERVICE in Los Angeles, and we have tried others. Chef LaLa has so many sophisticated yet clean meal ideas, and was willing to work with us on the multiple layers of allergies, anti-inflammatory foods, and last minute coordination. read more

Not only is she charming, but she can cook! Some of the best food I have had .... Restaurant quality in my home. I took the 30 day plan, lost weight and enjoyed every morsel....now only of she was single! My mom would love her! read more

Chef LaLa and her team became even more cherished post Covid-19. They deliver portion controlled, multiple restrictions led meals for a competitive price.

WOW! PRAISE FOR CHEF NOURISH!!!!! I did a customized weight loss meal program with chef Nourish about 5 years ago and loved it! I've always been frustrated trying to cook for myself (I live alone) 3 healthy meals a day... and it's impossible- it's never restaurant quality, the veggies, meat everything has a short expiration date... meaning I was spending $$$$ at the market and having to throw out things I had just bought. A horrible wasteful way to live. After gaining 7lbs and only eating grey foods (bagels, sandwiches, pasta etc). I was feeling awful about myself and was very irritable. On Monday I started a new customized weight loss program [you can do paleo, veggie, keto etc] there are meal plan choices for anyone/everyone. And then you can customize that! Now the food review: ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!! It was great 5 years ago but wow they get better everyday. I don't know how it's possible but they are on fire!! 3 well balanced, portion controlled meals that are restaurant quality!! When I get my food it actually makes me smile- how on earth does chef LaLa do this. The creativity/variety of the BEST TASTING FOOD I've ever had... I really do mean RESTAURANT QUALITY. I want to eat this well and feel this good forever. I don't even think about my weight- I'm too busy drooling over my meals for the day. I've only written one yelp before so I don't often do this unless it's something that is out of this world FABULOUS. And chef nourish is. THANK YOU FOR THIS FOOD and I'm so happy my mood is already better I couldn't recommend this more!! Xo Steph *And if a women's way to a man is through his stomach -- look no farther - 3 meals, snack and dessert. Consider your marriage cooking/cleaning resentment free! read more

I've done all the delivery services. I'm a complicated food person that can pretty much only eat at Erewhon and I'm going into week 3 and I"m still loving the food which never happens and I'm losing weight. She customized my pain in the ass low cal diet with no sugar and almost no fat in my modified HCG protocol and every meal is fantastic. She's personable, and "get's it" even for food conscious nutjob like me. Look no further, you're not gonna beat Chef Nourish. read more

It has been 3 months and I can't believe I've lost 20 lbs! I can't believe how easy it has been. My cholesterol is now normal and I am of my statins. It's one thing to feel like I have a personal chef cooking for me - but the health benefits are priceless. The biggest challenge I have is that my son takes my food sometimes :) He loved to take it to work and says I'm must be cheating because this is "not a diet" he's right, it's a healthy lifestyle that I plan to continue.

I've dived in head 1st with this meal prep company and all I can say is that they are simply AMAZING! I would like thank Chef LaLa for her attention to my dietary needs also how she insured that all my allergenic needs would be taken care of. Thus far I've had 1 only 1 mishap. All I did was email Chef LaLa and I received a response within 30 mins saying the item that was missing will be there before I went to lunch. She even went to the extent of refunding my payment, even though I insisted it wasn't a problem. This is the 1st and only meal prep I'm going to use. With that being said. Thanks Chef for your genuine kindness and I wish you much success with you future endeavors. read more

First time experiencing food delivered to home and I was surprised at the generous portions provided. The food was flavorful and pleasant to the eye. It was nice not having to think of what meals or snacks to put together throughout my day.
