A Fine Guide to Palm Springs
Food Scene
One of the best Shabu experiences you will have anywhere outside of Japan! Incredible sake selection. Go for the fried chicken, sake tasting, and Japanese Wagyu (A5). Ask them to show you the certificate that tells you where your cow came from. Very authentic.

The original founder of Southern California vegan staple Native Foods, Chef Tanya founded her newest namesake restaurant in 2017. Starting as a manufacturing facility for tempeh and seitan, it expands into a deli style quick service eatery. We recommend the deli potato salad, vegan "ribs", and an iced Mumbai chai to go.
