A vegan, a low-carber, a guy who doesn't eat red meat, another guy who mostly eats red meat, and a very picky eater walk into a restaurant... Team lunches can be a challenge, when you have folks of different dietary needs/preferences. It's tough finding a place with a menu that doesn't alienate one or more folks completely ("Don't whine, vegetarian! That BBQ joint we're going to has potato salad and cole slaw for you to eat!"), or that is so broad it can't possibly be done well. So, when a new person joined our team, I went on a limb and called a "welcome" luncheon at Fresh Heim. It certainly wasn't where I expected it to be: In the shopping center at Lake Creek and 183, next to a liquor store and "Cici's Pizza", across the lot from the "24 Hour Fitness". This is the kind of "ladies who lunch healthily" place serving food that would be at home in a day spa in Westlake. But, ummm, instead in a parking lot with a "Cici's Pizza". They quickly sat our table of nine, with staff smiles all around. We were a little confused between the sauce choices for salad, and the sauce choices for our proteins, but the wait staff met us with smiles and patient answers. Folks still got a little caught off guard by the purple tint to the rice (expecting plain steamed white rice), and the piles of vegetables in the "salad". Just having everything on one plate was a surprise to some. I purposefully kept my pics as clean and unprocessed/unfiltered as the food I was trying to show. But, our diverse group all seemed to have no issues devouring the food. And even I didn't feel hungry at the lunch option. There are larger dinner portions to choose, if you think you might have an issue with portion size being too small. Clean, fresh, and healthy. Service might be best described as "relaxed". My medium-cooked beef was tasty. The tofu option was popular with our two vegetarians, as was the chicken with a couple others. The American in me wanted to ask for more dressing for the salad (the peanut pecan was great), but I didn't. The Red Pepper sauce was a hit for those that like a bit of kick. It looked like a great stir fry (especially with the "noodle" option, the japchae comparison made in another review is apt), that just never got stirred/fried. And in a good way. As we left, the female chef wished us farewell from the back, and all I could do was smile. If the Jokhang Temple in Tibet has a cafeteria, it feels just like Fresh Heim (in my head). EPILOGUE: Full disclosure, I did leave work at the end of the day to the nearby bar with a team member who desperately needed a large burger and curly fries (dipped in ranch) while I just sipped on my vodka press. 'Murica. read more

Amazing. I've only been twice (for lunch) but each time has me going back for more. The first time I had the chicken salad rolls which were a perfect lunch for me - light, tasty, fresh! I love that you get to choose from a variety of sauces! The second time I went, I had the beef steak with veggies and I subbed noodles for the rice. I have NO IDEA what kind of noodles they serve but they are light and delish. They kind of remind me of kelp noodles...but tastier! Overall, everything is well cooked and seasoned and I just can't get enough. I left feeling full but not miserable. This place definitely knows what they're doing. Worth the price for the quality and portion size! read more

Fresh Heim - Sliced Beef Steak & Steamed Veggies with Rice - except I subbed noodles for the rice! - Salad Near Me - Austin, Texas

My fave salad place!! So delicious!! The owner is always so pleasant! He has taken steps to achieve social distancing!

Normally I'm a skeptic, especially when there are a plethora of five star ratings in a review stream. However, these are well earned and deserved. This is perhaps the healthiest restaurant I've found in this northern Austin area. The environment is very basic and more tailored to early dining. However the food is delectable. It's a "mom and pop shop" so service can be a little on the slow side but well worth the wait. Remember, it's far from "fast food". Items such as fresh fruits & berries, fresh vegetables, beef, chicken, seafood and pork, can all be found under this roof. There is also a very nice assortment of fresh sprouts . Which they happen to grow themselves. The dish presentations are truly picture perfect. They're colorful and meld into fantastic flavors. This location will not be a stranger anymore. I should have my name on a chair soon. read more

Very, very healthy....maybe a bit too healthy? I was still hungry after I left and ended up eating a second meal an hour later. To the point, if you are use to big portions or high calorie meals, this will not suffice. But, if you are limiting calories, this is the right choice. The protein/starch/vegetable ratio will make your doctor happy. The meat is well-seasoned and the veggies are fresh. The dishes, according to my husband, appears to be a modernized, healthy deconstructed version of the popular Korean Japchae. The dishes are presented beautifully and I like that you can get a healthy meal in N. Austin. For me, this place does heathy better than most. I eat healthy at home so when I dine out, I like to indulge so this is not where I can indulge. read more

Lately, Hubby and I have been in a world of first world problems. Coming back from wino vacation, going straight to work, going straight from work to house design meetings or HH friend meetings, we've been getting home late and tired everyday with no chance to go to the grocery store and stock our bare cupboards. So, we've HAD to eat out a lot or get take out, which makes our waistlines fatter and our wallet thinner. I never thought I'd be one to say "I'm getting sick of pizza". Travesty. So, last week when we had yet another late evening with the designer, I remembered reading reviews (and seeing the gorgeous pics) of this place. Finally, a tasty, healthy, affordable dining option near our house! Easy ordering and tons of food as well. We shared some edamame (coulda used more salt or seasoning), then he got the pork tenderloin and I the chicken breast, and both got the steamed veggie side. With your "side" you get another "side" option of carb, he got the noodles and I the potatos. I put "side" in quotes cause the "side" was a meal on its own, with steamed broccoli, brussels, and carrots, your side carb, fresh fruit and what looked like half an avocado as well. Both our protein choices were juicy and delicious ( I was shocked at how flavorful the chicken was), but next time I would definitely pick the noodles over the potatos. When we went, it was pretty much empty and I hope that will change soon. The two servers (owners?) were super nice and courteous, if a bit hard to understand. I was a little disappointed they had no seafood on their menu as I'd seen pix of it on their website, but they are working on incorporating it into the menu, so I look forward to returning for salmon or scallops (esp with that teryaki sauce!). I have a feeling this will be a regular spot for us in our busy lives right now. I'll be double fisting the wine and detox tea at the end of a long day. read more

If you're doing a cleanse of some kind or just want to eat healthy, Fresh Heim is a great choice. Unfortunately for me, $15+ later for their lunch special (including tax and tip) and I was still pretty hungry afterwards. They are really really nice which goes a long way. I also like that they are health conscious and seem to use quality and fresh ingredients. The presentation of the food is clean and colorful too. Unfortunately this did not equate to filling my belly. Total first world problems I know, but that was my experience. I went with their Sliced Beef Steak & Fresh Salad and got it with noodles instead of rice. Everything seemed pretty basic and bland in flavor (especially the noodles). Nothing was bad, but nothing wowed me either. Plus, the portion of the beef was about 1/6 of the entire plate. It was tender, but again, not a lot of flavor to it. There really wasn't much to bring me back. read more

Simple, fresh, wholesome, nutritious food with a Koreanish spin. The steak, salmon and tofu that I've tried were all delicious. Love the fruit and veggie display and all the salad dressings. The potato noodles and purple rice are so good. Great service and lovely owners. Everything is beautiful prepared to order so don't come here if you're in a rush. read more

What is with all these five star reviews?!? Look, I like to eat healthy also. But I think a lot of the reviews below are attributed to the presentation of the food and not the food itself. I've had this spot bookmarked for quite sometime, so after a run my wife, child and I thought "what the heck? Let's go see what all the hoopla is about." Lacking...The presentation is AMAZING. I'll give them that. But that's where it stops. My wife ordered the chicken which was overcooked. My son and I both ordered the pork belly and it was also over cooked. The salads were fresh and crisp, the sauces were OK. Our waitress was totally nice. The atmosphere is strip mall. I prefer chicken that is juicy and pork belly should be braised and melt in your mouth with a slight crunch. This place totally missed the mark on the meat. The salad was the only winner here, but you can assemble a salad at home of this caliber... There are too many other places to try to come back here. This place is a solid two star outing. Don't bring kids or a date. read more

The food is good, the place is nice, and the owners are kind. Give them some business! I went for lunch recently and was the only customer the whole time! When my order arrived, sliced beef steak with steamed veggies and rice, I was amazed at the amount and variety of food that sat before me. Everything tasted good, and it definitely seemed healthy (I mean, it was mostly rice and veggies). The sides that came with it were really good too. No idea what they are, but I liked it! Owners were really nice. They said they opened recently, but did not advertise, so business has been slow as of late. Definitely worth a try! read more

Ordered the sirloin and salad to go and requested medium rare. When I got home and started cutting it, it was well-done. Like really well-done. Completely brown inside with no pink. To the point where I had to work to chew through it even after cutting it into smaller pieces. The basic expectation for a restaurant is if you sell steak, you know how cook it to order. I can accept a mistake of slightly overcooking a steak but the gap between medium rare and well done is too large to ignore. read more

This is a great choice for someone on a diet. The ingredients were fresh and very very healthy. Not a French fry in sight. Most main courses are served with sides of fruit and steamed vegetables. I got the chicken salad roll and a very delicious green tea lemonade. They offer many choices of homemade dipping sauces and I went with the almond butter ginger sauce. Personally, I found it to be a bit bland and would probably choose a different sauce next time. I visited around 3pm and it was very quiet and we didn't have to wait for a table. Our server checked on us periodically and we didn't have to wait long for our order. My friend ordered the lentil soup and seaweed salad and she felt so-so about them. read more

Plus, if you're on a diet you can eat everything on the menu. Every time I come here I order the tofu and salad. I know that sounds weird, but hear me out - this tofu is not like other tofu. I like the steak a lot too, but wow the tofu is next level awesome. read more

The freshest most Unami meal I've ever had. I could eat this every day of my life! All sauces are homemade and gluten free.

I ordered the sliced steak with rice and steamed veggies. My meal tasted great and the veggies were very fresh. The only improvement to the meal would be to add more steak, but I might just be used to Texas sized portions! Staff was very polite and it took about ten minutes for my meal to come out. read more

Probably one of the biggest culinary surprises in a while. Just wow. Sitting there, looking at the cheesy framed health statements, I thought that this was going to be as bland as it could get. I was dead wrong. The shrimp and salad dish was simply phenomenal - in presentation and taste. I ate everything on the plate, down to the last leaf. My daughter's chicken was easily one of the most moist chicken breasts I ever had. All around, simply phenomenal place. One word of caution - they have no soda. Deal with it. Trust the chef with their tea concoctions. read more

Holy moly I am in love. This is so yummy. This place is SO close to my house and I've just never paid attention to see it. I placed a to-go order for the chicken thigh salad with fresh veggies, mango sauce, and almond ginger sauce. It all tastes amazing. Maybe my fav meal in a long time! They also have JAPCHAE! Or as others know it, the sweet potato noodles. I had no idea the owners are Korean. Korea has my heart forever so eating here is even more special to me now. Anyway, come eat here. You won't be disappointed. read more

The staff are beyond rude and inefficient not to mention the annoying language barrier. I was hung up on twice by staff simply because I asked to speak with a manager so I could inquire about private events and special menus. The staff refused to give their names or their managers' claiming the gm didn't want to take any calls, messages from me, or give a name. I don't trust them to handle a meal since a simple phone call is already too much for them! It's also really helpful how the establishment needed to write three paragraphs in defense to this review. Like I said you all clearly know NOTHING about customer service. Nothing about private events sounds like a telemarketer. Too bad you didn't put this much effort into answering the call and cost your restaurant it's reputation and quite a few customers. read more

I've been here a couple of times now, and every time it's been great friendly service and delicious healthy fresh food! It's nice to have an option for a nutrition packed lunch or dinner when I'm too tired to cook or need a good lunch to go. Very glad to have found this place. It is a little pricier than some other places to grab a big salad, but I attribute that to great quality ingredients, often times you get what you pay for. Thanks for helping keep Austin healthy! :) I recommend the sliced beef lunch salad and rice and the sirloin steak with fresh salad and rice for dinner. read more

Yummy fresh food. If your body is screaming for healthy food, Fresh Heim is the place to visit!!! It took a little while to get served but it was very good food, it reminds me of the heath food restaurants in Japan that serve dandelion tea and brown rice.

I went in for a work lunch yesterday, while there the service was horrendous from the moment we walked in. Then to make matters worse I went to use the restroom and found not one but TWO dead or mostly dead roaches. With the recent climate I would have expected any restaurant to encourage return customers, instead of creating reasons to turn us off. The final straw was watching him barehanded take a filthy rag with unnamed solution in a squirt bottle and wipe down something off the bathroom door, then he went back to making our food...WITHOUT WASHING HIS HANDS!!! They need to be shut down read more

Awesome, really healthy food. Expect a price tag according to the quality - but we'd be paying even more for stuff like that. Definitely coming again - soon! read more

I have always liked this restaurant in the past, but I never saw the waitress return until she gave me the bill. This was annoying since she brought some iced red tea out at the beginning and never came back to ask if I needed refills. It took forever to get the chicken(that accompanies the rest of the meal to come out also). I do not know what has happened since the last time I was here 6 months ago, but I probably will not return. read more

Have eaten here twice. Food is fresh, creatively presented, reasonably priced, and tasty. The ambiance is somewhat spartan. Apparently there is Karaoke some evenings because there's a piano in the corner. The sauces are offered sparingly, and if you ask for more, they come and squirt a tablespoonful out of a squeeze bottle. The place attracts health-food types, but it's also worth visiting just to try something different. Clearly, there's no other place like it in Austin. I had the $11,95 roast chicken (very tender and ample-- the $13.95 is unnecessary) and my wife had chicken salad wrap (which is not Chicken Salad, but rather some salad with chicken pieces in a wrap). Both of us enjoyed our choices. The steak choices, however, can be quite pricey. read more
