Healthy Food! Superb Atmosphere!! Great Service!…read more It's actually two places... a juice bar that opens early, and a beautiful dining, room that is only open from noon to 2:00 P.M. Carmen, at juice bar was highly accommodating, and offered to let me sit in the dining room, four hours before they open. I took accepted her offer, and met the manager of the dining room, Ian, who informed me that patrons can also be served by the pool, sauna, and jacuzzi. These two areas will definitely become part of a routine, the next time we stay, or co-host another large event at the Ojai Valley Inn.

Pretty disappointed by the food and service at what I I thought was the best resort in Ojai. I was…read morefinally approached by one of the pool servers and while yes, I was interested in ordering some food, I had to ask for a menu. There are some very, very healthy options but I ended up going with the ahi poke "tacos" and the "all greens" cold pressed juice (spinach, cucumber, celery, parsley, green apple). The tuna tacos were served with bigeye tuna, butter lettuce cups, sweet onion, shoyu dressing, chili garlic crunch, seaweed, and side salad or rice but I opted for fresh fruit as my side. The food and juice were both good but definitely not worth the price point, coupled with the lackluster service. In Yelp terms, the overall experience was "OK."

Such a lovely find in Oxnard.

Great spot to grab food and just sit outside for a bit. It's fully vegan, and everything tastes like it was made with real care, not like generic "vegan substitute" food. The menu is small, but that's clearly because they're making things in house rather than pulling from a distributor, and you can taste the difference. The person running the place was genuinely warm and accommodating, happy to answer questions and make suggestions. It's the kind of small business energy that's rare to find these days. Highly recommend if you're in Oxnard and want honest, thoughtfully made plant-based food. I'll be back.

We really should have left directly after walking in. But, we traveled pretty far to try this place…read moregiven all the five star reviews. The one good thing is they have a screen flap door which seemed to keep the flies out. The interior was hot and dirty. That aside, the grab and go items in the cold case cooler were warm. I asked the woman who took our order if she knew the case wasn't cooling the items. She said the fan has recently broken and she would eventually have to remove the items. It was sketchy because the items were warm, the room was hot, and I'm not sure she knew how long they'd been like that. The house made pesto and rice pudding were super concerning sitting there without refrigeration. My experience trying the Shoreline Burrito fell short of what others have said. Mine was bland and dry. The Nachos were ok and the pesto garlic bread was tasty. I am not inspired to order any of these items again. I will happily never visit this eating establishment due to food safety concerns and bland flavors.

Since I was taking my grandson for a walk this morning, we headed for the store and arrived at 9:45 and they have been selling out all day so they made me a fresh one in 10 minutes and we sat outside and enjoyed our picnic breakfast. Always check their flyer that has their incredible deals each month, including their Tuesday and Thursday special deals. They have great coffee every day. An incredible deli with all kinds of pastries made fresh and then their hot deli, including Fresh made sushi. Don't forget to check out Westridge market when you're in Ojai. I also picked up some pork chops and ribeye on special this week at the meat counter.

Little Sama Ojai!…read more Took the wife here thinking to share a dish and order small things before the drive back to the OC. Oh we left filled! Located inside the Topa Topa Brewing Company, as soon as you walk in you will see the tap bar, to the left you'll see where you place your order for Little Sama, even more to the left is the food menu. It was very tempting to try a beer from Topa Topa since it was our first time at both these locations, but also our first time in Ojai, but man the heat destroyed me (when does it not) and I knew the beer would just make me even more hot and bloated too. We were at the location on a Thursday late afternoon, not too many people, few people coming in and getting either their after work brew or shoot maybe one before their shift starts. It was happy hour for Little Sama which we took advantage with one of the dishes which I will discuss in a bit. Plenty of seating inside and outside, as well as two unisex bathrooms, to the right side of the bar. The girl working was very helpful on giving us good recommendations which we went with: Okonomiyaki Tots (Happy Hour Item) - Now most places when they have happy hour and these items are on there, its usually like half the portion or something, they gave us a lot, so I am curious what does the non-happy hour order look like. One thing for sure is I am super glad they gave us this much because these were bomb and dangerous. The tater tots were fried perfectly that it held its crunch even with the Okonomi Sauce and kewpie mayo. I usually don't care for pickled cabbage but that perfectly balanced the whole dish that I found myself poking the cabbage and spinning it like spaghetti, then making sure it stays in place by capping it with two tots. Damn delish! Korean Fried Cauliflower - This is to this date, the best fried cauliflower dish I have had, actually lets expand that to the best cauliflower dish I have had. Again perfectly fried where you had a little bit of a crunch but still had the nice pillow-whe feel of the cauliflower. That sauce though! It was so damn good I obviously finished the dish, but at the end my fat boy habits came out and I scraped the whole plate so all the sauce would combine again so I could use the last of the two cauliflower and drench em down! Can I get this some how over here to the OC PLEASE! Top Sirloin Katsu Sando - I don't know how they did this not only were they keeping the crisp of the sandwich along with the katsu, they didn't clash to where it was just to crunchy, they blended so well together. That miso garlic cabbage slaw just really put everything together into just a umami explosion in the mouth. The Krupuk chips were delicious, I was going to knock a star off my review because either they weren't fried all the way or maybe that could just be the chip themselves, but do check your chips, sometimes in the center is a very hard part while surrounding it is the regular chip like texture. The wife bit into it and the shock of not expecting that hard texture, irritated that side of the jaw for a bit. In conclusion as mentioned above I started off with a 4 star review because of the chip, but that was the only thing. I just think putting out that delicious food, having one of those dishes being the best I have had, it deserved a 5 star from me. Imagine enjoying the beer which without a doubt would have some that pair nicely with each dish! This restaurant will be one of those ones that will make it hard to try anything else in Ojai. Why? Being our first time in Ojai, it is hard to say when is the next time we will return, but when we do, why would I try any other place out when I can finally try this place again!

The dressing/sauce that goes on it was tangy but bland. The noodles were cooked ok. I was expecting a flavor similar to a Vietnamese Noodle bowl and it was not. The chicken Karage.... Was dry and some pieces were just batter no chicken , very hard. Not the usual crispy outside and moist and tender inside. Felt like these were fried too long or refried various times. Small portions. The pickles were okay again no flavor other then sour/tangy. The cucumber pickled in the set tasted spoiled. Didn't eat those. Overall left disappointed.
