    This place affordable & what I really like is that you get your moneys worth with the amount of food they serve you. I paid $13 for the southwest bowl & I honestly enjoyed having a variety of mixed veggies. Very filling, the service was fast and easy, came here around 12:10. Place is clean as well.

    Order

    Absolutely terrible. I almost doubled the price of my bowl with add ons, yet received the same amount of food as my friend's ordinary order. Salmon and steak was unbearably dry-- I don't think I could have swallowed without water. Half the portion of my steak was straight fat. Place was so bad it actually made me mad. Definitely choose Sweetgreen, Chipotle, or Cava rather than this place.

    Honey Granola Parfait
    Will P.

    Stopped by Protein Bar and Kitchen and ordered the Honey Granola Parfait. The Honey Granola parfait came with Greek Yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, chia seed, granola, and raw organic honey. It was super good and had 17 grams of protein. Also ordered a black iced coffee which was very refreshing and light. Seating is spacious inside and they also have outdoor seating as well. Service is very quick and the workers are very friendly. This location is right next to a LA Fitness Gym which is super convenient for a post work out snack!

    Gross. Never order the power plant bowl. It was more liquids than a smoothie! It was a bowl of green ice and watery almond milk. I ordered the power plant bowl with strawberries and granola, and paid for extra blueberries. NO JOKE: there was one strawberry, 7 blueberries, less than one 1 tablespoon of granola. What a waste of money Note: My food was through uber eats.

    Whether you're in need of a lil pick me up or an after workout snack, I highly recommend Protein Bar! I eyed Protein Bar next to the LA fitness I workout at for awhile before finally trying it, and I'm so glad I did. The first time in, I wasn't familiar with their menu/modifications, so I accidentally ordered a shake that had whey protein in it (make sure you look at all the ingredients, unlike me!). The staff was so understanding and when I went in to reorder a new one, they so kindly made me a new one without charging the price of a new smoothie I love the various modifications you can make to any item on their menu, and the fact that they highlight what items can be made gluten free and/or vegan The man working when I went in was able to modify my many substitutions without complaint and even offered me an added energy boost, which came free of charge My warning to you, if you're like me, it'll easily become your workout "reward" (becoming an everyday treat)

    Mexicali Bowl with turkey bacon
    Samuel A.

    Protein Bar lives up to its name. Very solid, healthy food packed with clean carbohydrates and protein. Opted for the mexicali bowl with added turkey bacon. It was tasty and fresh. I wish the portion was a smidge bigger, especially for the price of the meal, but understand that fresh ingredients have some inflated prices at this time. Another solid lunch through Fooda delivery service. Thanks PBK!

    Just wanted to grab something real quick. I love their avo matcha drink. Service is good and place is clean.

    Vegan salad
    Kathy M.

    I have heard of Protein bar plenty and love that Oakbrook has one. Just stopped in to grab a vegan salad yesterday. The salad itself, kale, spinach, tofu, dressing, multi colored carrots and quinoa. It was a great healthy quick grab while in the go. I tried to get my son to get something but he defaulted to chipotle. But I love that they have meat and no meat healthy options. As for the salad. I would omit the celery since I don't love celery but it was all very fresh and very good. Will come back again.

    You'll be surprised how good this place is! I stop by at least once a week. Service is fast and friendly, and the restaurant is super clean! Highly recommend visiting this location to anyone looking to enjoy a healthy meal.

    Avo Matcha
    Eric G.

    Take this review as you will but just know I have only had protein shakes here and no food as of yet! Once I do I'll update but what I can say is that these protein shakes are an absolute must! The Avo matcha was recommended to me by the cashier and I'm so glad I took her recommendation cause now I'm addicted! I have tried other shakes and their all great so can't go wrong with any of the other choices

    The Perk
    Vanessa G.

    Great spot to pick up a quick lunch. Food and protein shakes were tasty and love that you're able to get a healthy meal What I tried: The Perk - espresso whey protein, chocolate whey protein, house-made cocoa malt & almond milk (25g of protein) Wrigley Peeled - organic peanut butter, banana, agave, chocolate whey protein & almond milk (25g of protein) Mexicali - chicken, corn, black beans, cheddar, warm kale, salsa, spicy tomatillo lime sauce, chipotle Greek yogurt topped with guac served over quinoa Spicy Korean - beyond beef meatballs, diced cucumber, spinach, pickled red onion, pickled carrot & sweet and spicy chili sauce served over cauliflower rice Everything had such good flavor and the employees were so nice. Can't wait to go back and try other items and definitely want to try their breakfast food.

    Chick'n Tinga Bowl
    Meagan S.

    My new go-to for a quick lunch! My order was ready quickly and put on the shelf for easy grab and go. It was fresh, tasty, and I love how they have options for all dietary preferences--including vegan cheese! Their new chick'n menu items were so delicious, and the "chicken" pieces were so flavorful, tender, and meaty. The seating is open and airy, so it's a great place to enjoy your meal.

    A culinary delight! If you haven't had Burmese food before, this is the real deal and is worth the…read moretrip from Chicago. My partner is Burmese and also loved the food. We had the tea leaf salad, which had just the right blend of crunch and spice. The samusas were hot and flesh and the flavor of both the mohinga and coconut chicken noodle dish I had were phenomenal. And of course the service was impeccable. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. We can't wait to be back and try the tofu salad and Shan noodles next time.

    I was visiting from the San Francisco Bay area, and a lifelong friend took me to lunch here. It…read moredefinitely reminded me of the flavors and quality of the Burmese food from home. I'd rate it on par, or even better, than San Francisco's Burmese options. Service was much friendlier here, that's for sure! Tawk was a delightful host...making jokes along with dish recommendations. Sadly, we gobbled up the food before I remembered to take photos. D'oh! I highly recommend the Tea Leaf salad--a Burmese staple and a real treat if you haven't had it before. Very flavorful and just a hint of spice (don't eat the sliced peppers if you're spice-adverse, but we devoured them). We also had Shan Noodles (B8). I also recommend that. A mild to medium spice level and very tasty. Generous portions. Two dishes was enough for two though I wish we had tried the spring rolls or samosas too--we might have had leftovers if we had! The restaurant itself is inviting and clean. They did a good job considering the location in a strip mall. The lighting looks nice, and the textured walls add to the inviting ambience.
