"The food is always great at 118 Degrees. I had the amazing kale salad and olive pizzettes which was a large enough portion to take some home. My cousin had the sampler plate which she deemed amazing. The restaurant was a bit slow that evening so our waiter was a little too attentive, especially when we told him from the start that we had a lot of catching up to do. However, I'd rather have someone like him than one who disappears for long periods of time. Love the place - wish there was one closer to my home as I'd go more frequently."

"For Raw Vegan food it was the best I've had. Very creative recipes and beautiful presentation. The waitress was so sweet but she did bring soup that we didn't order and charged us for it (we thought it was included w/the entree) So make sure you check your bill. She also screwed up on one of the entrees, brought the wrong item. We ate it since we didn't know otherwise."

"Even if you aren't familiar with the raw food lifestyle, you must give this place a try. My husband and I have dined here twice when visiting Anaheim for Expo West and we have never been disappointed. The food is beautifully plated, absolutely delicious and won't leave you feeling heavy and sleepy.
My husband is as far from a raw foodist as you can get--he eats at Del Taco, Arby's, etc.--but he loves the food here. They serve wine as well, which is a nice touch for a living foods restaurant. The place is quite small and it would be nice to see them expand to a larger venue, but overall, it's a true gem that I would recommend to anyone visiting the area. Be sure to try the apple cobbler!"

"They were disorganized. I booked a table on open table and then was emailed that we never showed up! How insulting and frustrating! The tables are very close together so you can hear everybody's conversation except the one at your table. The food was good but the service very slow. I had friends take cooking classes there. I had emailed to RSVP for a class several times and never heard back from themThis restaurant should not be in open table as they do not follow the guidelines/required procedures."

"I came in a vegetarian and came out determined to be vegan. Their food was not only delicious but also made me feel so alive! After all, you are what you eat. After I came home I looked at their website and found some cookbooks that I cannot wait to try! I love supporting restaurants like this because they are doing the right thing and really care about your health. Besides the food, the staff was also super friendly. Our server gave us some interesting facts about our food, which made it a lot more fun and enjoyable to eat. I highly recommend 118 Degrees to anyone who wants to have a yummy and wholesome meal."
