About Us
Eat your art out
Taste of Beauty
We are a plant-based fine dining restaurant where fresh, seasonal ingredients become art that you can see, smell, touch, and taste. Where different cultures and cuisines blend and evolve. Where each plate is a canvas and every meal is a masterpiece.
Our Mission
We are making plant-based cuisine a tasteful choice instead of a lifestyle sacrifice. We believe this is the only viable path for encouraging more people to eat sustainably and reduce their carbon footprint. We are committed to crafting a unique experience that’s as kind to the planet as gratifying to the senses.
The Experience
A Multi-sensory Experience
Our tasting menus are crafted as a narrative journey. Each menu has a unique theme, and every dish tells a story around it. We want to offer our guests more than exquisite flavors but also an emotional awakening. At the end of the day, we are in the business of changing minds and behaviors. There is nothing more effective than good food to do so.
The Inspiration
Fusion Beyond Borders
We take pride in LA’s rich tapestry of cultures and ethnicities. In fact, it is as rich and inclusive as our mother nature. Our menu celebrates this diversity, blending flavors, cooking techniques, and dining experiences from various cultures to expand the possibilities of plant-based cuisine. This fusion approach allows us to create innovative dishes that are not just nutritious and sustainable, but also a vibrant and flavorful reflection of America’s melting pot.
The Journey
A Narrative Journey
Our philosophy is rooted in the idea that eating is an immersive sensory experience. We are dedicated to creating dishes that are a feast for the eyes, a fragrance for the nose, a texture for the touch, and of course, an explosion of taste. By engaging all the senses, our tasting menus offer a multi-dimensional experience, transforming each meal into a vivid and unforgettable culinary adventure.

Jorge Guo
Jorge Guo is the co-founder and shareholder of Taste of Beauty, as well as an educational expert with more than two decades of experience.

Guided by his expertise in education and passion for plant-based wellness, Jorge connects food, culture, and mindful living. His philosophy makes Taste of Beauty a space where thought and flavor coexist—nourishing both body and soul, while reminding us that eating responsibly is inseparable from living well.
