United Nations Bowl is such a gem. Great food, beautiful ambience, and an unbeatable view. Orçun, the owner is truly a beautiful soul his hospitality made the experience extra special. We ended up talking about plants, philosophy, and spirituality, which felt so grounding and genuine The location serves our MDR community perfectly, right in the heart of MDR with stunning views. And extra points because he noticed my dog’s lashes that kind of attention says everything. Highly recommend.

United Bowl Nation is an absolute gem. The beautiful marina views and outdoor seating paired with a lovely bar, avant garde decor and fish tank make for an enchanting atmosphere. My friend and I visited for lunch, and found a wide range of delightful vegetarian options. The hummus bowl was mind shattering—I’ve never had hummus that good.
We also ordered the vegan pie and it was PHENOMENAL. We spooned the mint chutney all over it and it was a struggle to not lick the plate clean.
For dessert, the poached pear tart was absolutely majestic. The owner comes up with all original recipes, and his creativity is unparalleled.
Everyone who helped us was so kind and positive. Inside, there is even a sign of affirmations that truly brought me joy.
I can’t wait to go back!!!

Such a cute spot for dinner, lunch, tea, and or coffee! iykyk, this place is tucked in alongside the marina, has garage parking, great vibe, and amazing food and drinks. Everything was excellent, and the owner really cares about the quality of the dining experience and ambiance of his restaurant. A must try for those who live in the area, and totally cute for a night out with a friend or loved one. The outdoor seating is also super nice and great service all around.

Incredible atmosphere of love and authenticity. Food that is truly made from the heart. Across rhe USA and even in the City of Angels it’s difficult to find unprocessed, tasty, foods that blow your mind and open you up like this amazing space that presents it so beautifully and regally with ornate details throughout the space and empathy and kindness in their hearts. This place radiates the Heaven vibe, we need more spaces like this leading the way to heal our stomachs, hearts and minds as this is a great place to connect, work and share with family and community. Great music and love the aquarium! Chef’s kiss! More money and prosperity to this establishment for shining such an authentic and beautiful light

United Bowl Nation is such a gem. The waterfront seating and the beautifully decorated interior make it a lovely spot for meals with friends, relaxing alone, or just hanging out. The owner creates a welcoming, friendly, and relaxing environment where you can’t help but smile. Chef Orcun’s cooking is truly unlike anything else. Everything he cooks is fresh, incredibly flavorful, and life changingly good. The curry pie is absolutely delicious and my favorite. I recommend this spot to all my friends when they come visit LA.

This place is great! Tucked away with parking that is free but not easy to locate [at least initially], its exceptional value, service, and selection are fantastic! The owner (Ochin) even came over to say hello and make certain everything was in order. Wednesdays they do tastings and Jazz!!

I’ve been coming to United Bowls regularly since September 2025, and it has quickly become one of my favorite spots. It’s a wine restaurant, wine bar, and coffee shop all in one, and everything is consistently excellent. Wind Down Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to close are a highlight. The wine tastings are relaxed, thoughtful, and a perfect midweek reset, especially with the live jazz music. Mornings are just as good with great coffee, smoothies, and an olive oil cake I always come back for.
The food never misses. The Wagyu cigar rolls and lentil soup are standouts, and you can tell everything is made with care. A big part of what makes this place special is Orçun, the owner and executive chef. He sets the tone and brings the vibe. The space is warm, welcoming, and easy to drop into whether you’re grabbing a quick drink or staying awhile. You will not be disappointed.

If you’re in Marina del Rey and haven’t been to this spot, you’re seriously missing out. Easily some of the best bowls I’ve had in LA — bold flavors, perfectly balanced spices, and great presentation. The Indian and Middle Eastern bowls are especially solid.
The vibe is on point too. Think coastal-boho with woven lighting, textured interiors, and low-key music that makes you want to hang out for a while. It’s stylish without trying too hard.
One unexpected bonus: they’ve got a 3D printer on-site where you can make your own wine holders or planters. Kind of wild, but very cool — a nice mix of food, design, and tech.
And the view? Unreal. Right on the marina with boats passing by and sunsets that do all the work for you.
Whether you’re into good food, thoughtful design, or just want a spot that feels different — this place delivers. I’ll definitely be back.
