Trimana

FRIENDLIEST STAFF ON THE BLOCK. They are amazing. The cooks are all so nice-​will practically anything you request. Great variety — everyday is different at the food bar. Really surprised to see some of these reviews. It’s a food bar– not sure what you’re expecting for this price and convenience. To me this is cheaper and just as tasty if not tastier than the whole foods salad bar!

I was in LAX on business and staying at nearby hotel. I was looking for a place to get a bite to eat. I decided to come here. I got a vegetarian sandwich with a side of pasta salad. It was the best vegetarian sandwich I’ve ever had! The owner (I assumed he was the owner) was very friendly. I would definitely return again on my next business trip.

I was debating between a 3 or 4 star review here, but had to stay at a 3.
Located inside the Watt Plaza, it has several different options. My favorite is to get their hot food bar during lunch — I would say it’s a pretty good hot food bar although not as amazing as Whole Food’s. I always get the fish, kale salad (which is really fresh), hot wings, onion rings, etc. The food varies depending on day; if you see chicken kabob avoid it because it’s just too dry.
I’ve also gotten the chicken tenders during lunch which come with fries (this is something you order) and they’re pretty good. Their breakfast burrito is decent (choice of ham, bacon or something else), it includes cheese, eggs, sour cream, hash browns. I drizzle their hot jalepeno sauce to make it taste better.
Overall, a good choice for lunch if you work in the area. Everything is pretty much overpriced in Century City but Trimana comes close to being worth the price.
PS This location is better than the one in the century towers because they have an actual grill.

Everything is over priced here! However, on Tuesdays and Fridays a Sushi Roll out side vendor comes and prepares fresh sushi. The best tasting thing on the menu and at a great price! Tuesday’s and Thursday’s at noon this place is perfect for Sushi for lunch if you work in the area.

Honestly I really like this place. Super tiny but there salads are SO GOOD. yeah kiiiinda pricy but it’s so freakin hearty and delicious. I got the Cobb – so much bacon, avocado, egg, etc. IT was perfect.
Also had the Albondigas Soup… sooooooo gooood. I love soup.
I don’t eat out too often at work but Trimana is at the top of my list if I’m feeling like Ms. MoneyBags. That, and The Stand.

This place literally feels like a high school cafeteria.
Trimana’s one of the few options I have within walking distance of my work, and it’s like okay. I don’t ever get the salad bar because as fresh as it claims to be, it doesn’t ever really look super appealing although there’s a decent variety.
What I do get — the burgers and wraps. I’ve had almost every burger on the list, and my favorite are the avocado swiss, mushroom jack, and bacon cheeseburger. They’re all okay because they come with a generous serving of fries.
Also, they have a daily special which comes with a free drink! So go for that if you want value.
I feel like I’m speaking for almost everyone when I say that the people here mostly just come here out of necessity and convenience, and not because it’s actually super enjoyable.

It’s a bigger Trimana location than normal, and they have a great spread. Good for a quick and easy lunch. They have a large DIY salad bar, and offer decent prices. It ain’t no Mrs. Winston’s. though. That’s the spot to hot up for the freshest, bestest salad bar in town.

Trimana has a large buffet section (pay by weight) as well as a grill, deli, and now pasta with made to order meals. Plenty of choices! I usually get things from the buffet but decided to try the Alla Checca today for something different. It was made to order, with fresh mozzarella and great garlic bread on the side. The prices here are great compared to the overpriced lunch spots in the area. Try the fries, they are the best and addictive!

For anyone who works in LA, there’s practically a Trimana at every building. There was a Trimana in my building when I worked in LA and now there’s a Trimana in the CPE where I work. I hated them and my feelings haven’t changed much.
I’m here like every other day because I work pretty much 14 – 15 hour days and never have time to make lunch. Anyways, they have daily specials and a food/​salad bar. The food isn’t the best but there isn’t many options in Century City and when you’re short on time. The fries are meh, the burgers are meh, and the food bar is meh. However, I do like their fried chicken because it has a really crispy batter.
Overall, Trimana would probably be my last option for food but they give me no other option because of my schedule. I don’t think they should be charging $ 10 a meal especially when their food is sub-​par.

Everything is just decent. A lot to choose from for a quick lunch but nothing that will blow your mind.

Nothing’s great, it’s all pretty bland, but they have a lot of options for such a little place. It doesn’t get more convenient if you’re in the Twin Towers (except for City Express). Decent lemonade that they say is fresh, that makes a nice Arnold Palmer with their decent iced tea. Chili is pretty soupy. It won’t make you sick, which is sometimes my key criteria.

This is the only convenient store in the area. While still over priced, as you expect any store in a high rise to be, they have a good convenience store type selection. Funny enough they have quite a good selection of beer and wine. They guy behind the counter is always super friendly. Like everything here, they close by 6.

For cafeteria food, Trimana is doing a good job. Their salad bar, which is well-​stocked with lots of fresh veggies, saves me from filling up on nonsense. I love that it’s not just the boring lettuce and tomatoes, but they usually have yummy treats like brown rice, hearts of palm, and edamame. I usually grab a sweet potato or a taste of some other hot food too. You just grab a plastic container, fill it up, and pay per pound with the cashier and you’re off back to your office (they do have areas of seating though). They also make some good soups, which you just order from the people on the other side of the bar. They are really a 3.5 for the salad bar with maybe even a bit more of a bump considering that it is cafeteria food.
You can also order sandwiches, burgers, etc. with the cashier and wait for your number to be called. But I’ve never had a sandwich I’ve liked there. Stay clear from the grilled chicken sandwich.

This place is in the basement of one of the Century City Towers. It’s basically only a take-​away place, no seating, no wait service, just good salads and soups.
I recently had the «chicken pot pie soup» — it was amazing!

What can I say… It’s convenient. It’s decently tasty. There’s a good selection of breakfast and lunch. They’re fast. But omg I can’t keep spending $ 9 – 10 on lunch!
But I guess u gotta pay to be lazy. :)

I work nearby, like everyone else who would have any reason to review this place, so I come here pretty much whenever I don’t bring my lunch and don’t feel like going over to the mall. Their pre-​packaged sushi is fine and not too expensive. I usually go to the salad bar because I love salad bars (I would be content to live off salad bars, frozen yogurt, pizza, and maybe a steak every once in a while). I like the chicken salad a lot.
Trimana also has a location in the Century Plaza Towers D level bizarrely named «Salad Got Soup» (have never understood that), which I really like. They have a Baja Chicken Rice Salad with lettuce, chicken, beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, and avocado that I like, and a number of the soups are decent for a quick meal at work (especially the Italian Wedding Soup). I wish they’d put a small salad bar (basic lettuces and veggies, a couple of meats, a few dressings and toppings) along the back wall of this location. The previous tenant there (an organic food place) had one there, and it was great.

Just running through all my reviews and figured this one needed an update.
They’ve discontinued tostadas and burritos at this location (it’s been a while now, actually). If Mexican food is what you crave, you’ll have to order from their sister joint, Taco Limon in the 1925 building. Since my last review, I’ve tried the sushi a couple different times. It’s just ‘meh’.
The spicy chicken wrap is my new favorite, but they don’t always melt the cheese all the way — which is gross to me. The basic hamburger is surprisingly decent. I’ve also recently discovered their curly fries. Very tasty, but costs an extra 2 bucks — not worth it.
I find that I come here for breakfast more often than lunch. Frosted Mini Wheats, Minute Maid orange juice and a tiny carton of milk costs me 5 bucks. The cooked breakfasts are a bit too greasy, but /​can/​taste good. However, avoid the mushrooms. Even if you like mushrooms, whatever is they’re do to theirs ruins the rest of the dish. My omelette tasted of feet.

There’s only one reason I keep going back to Trimana. Their Teriyaki Burger. One of the better budget burgers around Century City and the fries are tasty too. I also recommend their salad bar, as they have pretty much everything and anything you’d want in your salad. Keep in mind though, that the more you put in your salad, the heavier the box will get and they charge by the weight!

Trimana isn’t my favorite but I work in the building and most days it’s the best option in a crunch. Things that are good: sushi on Tuesdays (made fresh), taco salad (glorified nachos), veggie burger, and the kebab special that runs on Thursday.
Prices are high but not unexpected for LA.

This place is located in Watt Plaza, and I think it’s been reviewed in at least on other location on Unilocal,but this is its actual address and phone number. So it’s setup as two different stations. One, is a salad bar where you pick up a plate (or plastic carton) put in whatever you want, including some fried stuff, and then pay according to weight. The second option is the sandwich station, where you pay upfront for whatever sandwich or burger you choose, get a number, and then pick up your food once it’s ready.
I got the Tuscan Turkey sandwich. It was warm, melted cheese, had pesto and sundried tomatoes, all on ciabatta bread. It also came with some fries. All of that for about $ 9. Huge meal, more than enough for one person. In fact, I could probably have shared it with someone and been fairly satisfied.
The sandwich itself wasn’t amazing, but it was sold. The ingredients seemed fresh, worked well together, and it still passed muster after sitting in th bag for 10 minutes as I walked back to the office. Overall, a quality lunch place, but nothing to go out of your way for.
