Simply Pure by Chef Stacey Dougan

So yummy. I could eat here everyday. Great service always polite. Everyone I bring here loves the food. My personal favorite are the nachos with cashew cheese sauce, omg!!! You must try.

Super good café! It is in a small container inside the container park near the entrance and a limited amount of indoor and outdoor seating. Had the sampler #1 and it all tasted fresh and pleasant. I recommend the sampler if you’re not sure what to get, they have different sample options as well. The lady working on the Monday my boyfriend and I stopped in was sweet and asked about our preferences in cashew or soy cheese on our nachos, I opted for soy and it was great, definitely my favorite item on the platter. We also tried the strawberry cheesecake and it was so creamy I was pleasantly surprised. I will be trying this place again soon.

This is a late review. We were there June 2014 and had raw angel zucchini pasta with pesto. Great food, flavor profile and concept! Wish they have a better indoor seating area. This place would be great for a fast food or takeout. We would love to try other food on the menu next time!

jumped in for a quick snack and to see what Vegas has to offer on the vegan side. Very friendly service. Awesome spring rolls… had to get cash from ATM because they don’t take AMEX. But they do accept other cards. Gotta try something else to get the full experience. But it’s located in Container Park so mostly a grab and GO situation.

I had the zucchini spaghetti with the cashew cheese sauce, it was excellent! I also got the TLC juice which was also delicious. I love that you can fill up on this stuff and it doesn’t make you tired or feel like crap.
I don’t care for much for the new gentrified downtown, but if it means more Vegan spots then it may actually be a good thing (:

I’ve gone there a total of 6 times and all 6 times they were rude.
I really did try to give them a chance because the food is great but they’re douche bags
Im never going again

great amazing raw food, limited selection and a little pricey

My husband and I made a stop here while on vacation. We loved Container Park — what a vibrant and innovative experience! I had the pesto grilled cheese with a side of lime tortilla chips. The panini was great — the cheese had a great texture and the pesto was fantastic. The chips were a bit stale tasting and I could not detect the lime. My husband had the lasagna and he absolutely loved it. They actually heat it in an oven as opposed to microwave and the extra time that took was worth it. The portion was large and the flavors bold and fresh. He ate every bite. If I lived here this would be a great «to go» restaurant. There really isn’t a lot of seating and the venue is very small. We sat outside and that was great for October, but wouldn’t want to do that in August! Hopefully, this business will do well and they can open a full size, dine-​in restaurant. Well done!

I went there with my friend, he had the lasagnas and I got the Jicama Chili Cheese fries. The lasagnas were delicious. The Jicama Chili was good too, but unfortunately it was too salty… However, the cheese was perfect.
The place was very nice. Give it a try !

This place is so disorganized. No place to wait. HUGE wait times. I was told 20 minutes after I paid, but it took 42 minutes. Good food but to have a business you have to be realistic. To wait the better part of an hour for getting deli style food is a little ridiculous. The table next to me didn’t get what they ordered but didn’t complain because by that time they were just hungry.
*update in response to owner’s comment below.
There were 4 employees. Small place like that I’d wonder where more could be. And the owner Stacy was my checkout person, heard (and looked right at me) when I asked for an update at double the time she told me it would take, and the person that handed my food to me. She knew exactly what was happening. A simple ‘I’m sorry for your wait’ would have been respectful, free and taken no time.

Loved it! I had this place on my list to visit before I left and luckily I came across it before departing. The food was excellent, Chef Dougan is an awesome person, and I’ll definitely be back there on my next trip.
I ordered zucchini pasta with spinach and mushrooms along with the cashew alfredo sauce. The dish was plentiful and delicious.

Simply Pure offers some of the best raw food I’ve ever eaten.
My husband and I came here on a Sunday afternoon to find something healthier to eat after overindulging all weekend long — a typical Vegas weekend full of rich food and too much to drink. I had done a bit of searching online to find an interesting and unique restaurant to check out; Simply Pure definitely fit the bill. Because we had our car with us, getting downtown from the Strip was easy and fast. (Note: you’ll have to pay to park when you visit Container Park.)
Upon arrival at Container Park, we were both impressed at the lovely and vibrant space. Simply Pure was easy to find once we consulted the map. It’s upstairs overlooking the green space. We were a little disappointed to see that there was no indoor seating (we’re spoiled SoCal people who have a 10 degree comfort range when it comes to temperature) which meant we would be sweating while eating, but no one else shopping seemed to mind the triple digit heat. We placed our order and chose a table right outside the restaurant overlooking the lower level. It was cool to see that you could buy alcoholic beverages at other places within Container Park and enjoy them throughout the park without problem — next time.
We were drawn in by the nachos but then saw the combo plate for $ 16.99. It included three kinds of raw zucchini pasta, nachos, and chicken salad. I was still recovering from last night’s buffet and didn’t think I could eat much so we chose to share this plate. That was a good move considering how incredibly filling the food was. The zucchini pasta came with three different sauces: a bright and fresh tomato sauce, a green pesto that was dark and hearty, and a creamy alfredo-​type sauce. My favorite was the tomato sauce, but the others were quite good in their own ways as well.
The nachos were the bomb! They’re so freaking good that it’s no surprise so many reviews mention them. The crispy chips were covered with TVP (textured vegetable protein) meat and a creamy cheese sauce (both vegan obviously) and topped with avocado.
Our last item was the chicken salad which I believe the guy said was made with nuts. I haven’t had such a delicious version of raw chicken salad before. It was light, refreshing, and full of flavor. Very unique and delicious!
Great location, good service, and delicious, filling, and healthy food. 5 stars!

I was excited to see a vegan restaurant in Container Park. After purchasing kids meals for my carnivores elsewhere in the park, I decided to treat myself to some veggie fare.
After nearly going broke, trying to feed the kids, I had to be a little more budget conscious when ordering. This proved ridiculously challenging at Simply Pure but then again, do budget friendly vegan restaurants actually exist?
Nevertheless, we entered Simply Pure and I had to kick out two of my kids to wait outside because we could not all fit in the cramped space. Although tight in space, it was bright, clean, and there is a large appetizing salad bar for view. I ordered the spring rolls and the vegan nachos to share. Both items totaled $ 20! So much for my budget.
We sat outside on the astro turf and the carnivorous children attacked the nachos! The dish was generously covered with soy meat and cheese. It was very flavorful but I wish there were more tomatoes. The spring rolls were absolutely delicious and the accompanying sweet and spicy sauce added the extra kick I was searching for.
I look forward to returning to Simply Pure and trying other items on the menu. I know the kids raved about the nachos!

I am not Vegan at all but this place makes me feel like I could be. I have had the vegan nachoes here multiple times as well as the zucchini pesto and let me just say that I have never been disappointed. The vegan nachoes are out of this world good. Light, tasty, delicious, and filling but not using all your daily calories. It’s amazing. I honestly don’t know how they do it but it’s always a pleasure. The zucchini pesto is also pretty awesome.
Pesto is homemade and of course vegan. The portion is big and filling because the zucchini
Is you pasta.
Only real downside to this place is that they don’t have a seating area of their own, so you are forced to take it to go or eat outside. In the summer it is pretty unbearable. So plan ahead with that.
The staff really impressed me here because They are really smart about their products and always recommend excellent choices. I will be back for more tasty vegan food!

Raw vegan food at the Container Park. Stacey Dugan’s dishes are tasty, but may be an acquired taste for some. The menu, like the storefront, is small– a few entrees, a couple of sides, plus juices and salad bar options.
There are only four juices ($ 7/​16oz), but I was pleased with the two I tried: TLC (lemon, lime, mint, cucumber, apple) being the favorite, with a light and refreshing flavor, while the High Octane (beets, carrots, cucumber, ginger) was balanced but less sweet.
Favorite dish to get here is the raw tacos: vegan ground beef with taco seasonings, topped with pico de gallo and avocado slices, wrapped in Romaine lettuce leaves and served with a side of tortilla chips. The leaves are stuffed with plenty of filling, and can get a bit messy. The chips were great for scooping up the excess. Unfortunately, the jicama chili cheese «fries» were not a hit with my guy and the cold crunch paired with the chili and cheese toppings just didn’t work for me. As Bethany put it, I think I would have enjoyed this more if it were heated.
Service from Stacey was polite, drinks and dishes were made to order. I would come back here for juices or the lettuce wraps, but pricing is a bit on the high side for those who don’t require the vegan/​raw dining, around $ 13/​entrée. She does have some plates available that are a bit higher but allow you to try three or four menu items.
Note that the storefront is small and does not have seating– there are shaded tables and chairs throughout the Container Park area, but in the middle of a Vegas summer, you may prefer to grab and go somewhere with air conditioning.

I am not a Vegan by any stretch of the word, but if all vegan food tastes this good I will definitely consider it. My go to dish at Simply Pure is the Nachos. I have tried both the TVP and chicken versions and they are both fantastic. The flavors are very will developed surprisingly with no meat, cheese or sour cream. I am not sure how they pull this off but these Nachos are really tasty.
Cost wise the items seem a slightly high for what you are getting but the portions are decent and you definitely will not be hungry afterward. I always share this dish and neither of us are hungry after the fact. When I look at it from that perspective there might be some value here. For two people to eat for $ 12 in Las Vegas, that is not a bad deal after all.
Check out Simply pure on the Second Floor of the Container Park if you are looking for something different and want to give Vegan Cuisine a try.

We came in on a Tuesday night, it was a beautiful evening outside and we wanted something quick and healthy. Neither of us had ever tried simply pure before… So we were both pretty excited to try a new all vegan and raw spot.
We walked into the tiny little container and we were greeted by a gentleman who seemed a little over the day at that point. Never the less… He proceeded to give a run down of how everything worked and even let us taste a few salad bar items before we ordered. The couscous was pretty darn good so I will be back for that.
We opted for the pesto zucchini pasta with sun dried tomatoes and the spring rolls to share. The prices and portions are comparable to places like sun café in LA and GO RAW around town. They may seem high… But they Are definitely enough to feed two people comfortably. The bill rang in at right around 20 bucks before tip. Basically… Ten dollars a person and we both left feeling full and satisfied. Order smart and you won’t be breaking the bank and remember it’s raw… You fill up a little quicker.
The pesto… Probably one of the best vegan pestos I’ve ever eaten… It was thick and creamy and delicious. Vegenation could use some insight and schooling from chef Stacey on what a good vegan pesto should taste like. The portion was large enough for both of us. My only regret is that we didn’t put more toppings on it! The sun dried tomatoes were a perfect touch and the texture was wonderful. The spring rolls Were fat thick pieces of heaven. They were perfectly crunchy on the inside and served with a nice sweet and sour sauce. We loved both items equally:) and finished the entire meal.
This is a perfect edition to the downtown area… And for somewhere like container park… It’s an ideal concept. We can’t wait to go back and order more of the delicious food and platters we saw… And next time we will make sure to save some room for dessert. Thank you chef Stacey for creating such a fun and delicious spot in one of our favorite areas of town!

Vegan dining… hmmm I’ll give it a try.
Simply Pure is located in the Container Park on the second level. Beware it’s next to JinJu Chocolates and it’s hard to resist that! Ha!
I went with a friend who is a much healthier eater than I. I would love to be as healthy as her so was more than happy to meet her there. They have a simple and small menu. This was fine to just get a taste. I went with the Thai basil spring rolls made with noodles, cabbage and carrots wrapped in rice paper. These were tasty with the accompanied sweet chili lime dipping sauce. I’d order those again without any hesitation. I also tried the Nachos Grande made with vegan beef, vegan cheese, pico and avocado. Now this was different. The entrée is served cold. I was educated on ‘Raw’ eating where things aren’t heated up. They weren’t too bad and didn’t mind the vegan beef and cheese. I just would have liked them more with some heat.
Service was ok but it did take them a while to prepare our food. Since I’m not vegan I can’t really compare tastes and flavors to other places. From this meat eater, it’s ok.

After spending a couple of hours at the Hoover Dam, my BF and I were hungry and we decided to check out Simply Pure and use the Groupon that I purchased. Simply Pure is located in downtown Las Vegas at Container Park, a very cool family-​friendly place with shops and food from local artists, chefs and vendors. What makes it unique is all the buildings are all made of containers — very cool design!
We found Simply Pure on the second floor of the right side of Container Park. It was a very small place with no indoor seating which I was kinda bummed out about because it was a chilly night. But I was relieved that we found seating outdoors downstairs next to the heating lamps.
When I purchased the Groupon, I read that they specialize in raw vegan food, but the menu is not all raw. For example, you can get your wrap in a tortilla instead of lettuce. Honestly, my BF and I were relieved that it was not all raw because after walking all day we were hungry and wanted something that would fill us up. Our Groupon came with two entrees and two fresh juices. I ordered the vegan chicken salad wrap (vegan chicken salad made with almonds and cashews, julienned cabbage, pico de gallo, and cashew cream sauce) and my BF ordered the nachos grande (corn chips, vegan «protein» beef, vegan cheddar cheese, fresh pico de gallo and avocado). We shared our entrees and we thought they were both delicious! The filling in the wrap was tasty and the nachos were awesome and tasted just like dairy nacho cheese. Our fresh juices were great as well.
We really enjoyed coming to Container Park and checking out Simply Pure. I would totally come back to try out the other menu items or the great looking salad bar.

5 stars after only 1 visit? Yes, it was that good. Still memorable even after a week.
Came here for dinner last Friday after checking out first Friday and the food definitely lived up to the hype /​reviews.
Yes, the wait is rather long but what do you expect when you want clean, fresh, quality, whole foods? Also, the time passed easily since they usually have performers on Friday evenings and the guy singing and playing his acoustic guitar that night was amazing so we got a free show while we waited and ate.
The nachos grande is definitely a must try and the best thing they offer as per the other reviews. However, everything we had was good.
