Healthy Fast-Casual Restaurant Chain Grows into Santa Monica

Its Most Popular Menu Items Include the Chinese Chicken Salad and the Tuna Avocado Sandwich

Health Nut, the Southern California restaurant brand known for its healthy offerings, has opened a new location in Santa Monica. This marks the second new restaurant opening since March, as the chain continues its mission to expand across the Los Angeles area.

The new Santa Monica location at 1447 Lincoln Blvd features a spacious outdoor patio and free underground parking. 

“We are thrilled to bring Health Nut to Santa Monica, a community that embodies the active, health-conscious lifestyle we promote,” said Steve Choi, CEO of Health Nut. “Santa Monica’s commitment to wellness and its vibrant, diverse population make it a perfect fit for our brand. We can’t wait to serve the community with our fresh, nutritious meals that can be enjoyed on location or easily taken to the beach for the ultimate lunch break.”

According to its website, its most popular menu items include the Chinese Chicken Salad (shredded chicken breast, dry chow mein noodles, pickled ginger, carrots, with sesame dressing), the Noodlerama (rice noodles, shredded chicken breast, carrots, cucumbers, and pickled ginger, served on romaine and iceberg lettuce, with spicy asian dressing) and the Tuna Avocado Sandwich (tuna, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, sprouts, served on multigrain bread).

Founded in 1988 as a modest vitamin shop, the Health Nut restaurant chain is known for its variety of salads, sandwiches, homemade dressings, teas, and a range of vegan, vegetarian, organic, and gluten-free options.

Health Nut gained significant attention when its offerings were regularly featured on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and Hulu’s “The Kardashians.” The brand’s iconic salad bowls and the famed “salad shake” technique became a viral sensation. In 2022, Kris Jenner joined Health Nut as its first investor and equity partner.
