Microbiotic places in Southern CA? Is M Cafe de Chaya the best? or their Tuna Burger?

M Cafe calls itself macrobiotic, but it serves a lot of foods that are actually shunned on a macrobiotic diet, such as sweet potatoes, tomatoes, avocado, peppers, French fries (with organic potatoes, big deal). Apart from the fact that the restaurant isn't really macrobiotic, I just don't think it's that good (or that healthy) and I think it's really overpriced for what it is. Inaka, on La Brea, is a real macrobiotic restaurant and although it has a much narrower menu than M Cafe, I think the food is much better (and much more authentically macrobiotic).

the tuna burger is the only reason to go.

A Votre Sante in Brentwood integrates many macrobiotic principles, and there are fully macrobiotic dishes available. The food there is good, light and refreshing though still satisfying.

I have to second the the praise, especially about the bento boxes. I was just there again over the weekend and took a picture of the one I ate: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shibui/2... . (Ignore my photographic inability: that's why I have a new camera with a preset called "food"!)

I the term is macrobiotic, but oh well. Yep, it's a really good place and the only fully macrobiotic place i know of in LA. i love their bento boxes for take out. i also liked their version of a muffaletta when i tried it.
