This was my first time at mendocino farms, I spent my afternoon a little further away and decide to try this establishment versus going to my usual place. it's very big, lots of seating and very open. I was suggested an Avocado quinoa salad with chicken. It was very fresh and crisp. The server who help me was very nice, polite tall with glasses. They had a confusing system to check in to receive your food. And he was kind enough to help me. I was told there's one by the grove by where I live. If I'm in Sherman Oaks again i'll be sure to stop by.

I had my inevitable craving for their amazing Avocado & Quinoa Salad again so I ordered for delivery through Doordash but I ordered two becaue it is so delicious. I couldn't help but resist getting a few of their delicious sandwiches that are part of my favorites including the Turkey & Avocado sandwich. The other sandwich I got was their Chicken Parm. 3 of my favorites here that will not disappoint. So delicious everytime.

I'm a very long time Mendo fan. There was a time I was a once a week customer. I'm very disappointed to see a drift away from 'the good old days' towards bean-counter disregard for exceeding customer expectations. Two examples: The pork belly banh mi is gone. But rejoice- it's been supplanted by ... tofu. Oh goody. The pork belly was the sandwich that had our entire DTLA office hooked. Perhaps pork has gone up in price? So grow a pair and increase the price. Who goes to MF to save money?!? Also gone is the soda fountain with hard to find flavors- replaced by ice tea variations. What were you thinking? Hibiscus flavored teas isn't a differentiating factor- everybody has that. Black cherry; cream soda, cane cola and root-beer made you different, even if (maybe) not the profit center tub 'o tea provides. MF had been my 'go out of my way' sandwich option. No longer. God save us from man-buns, vegans, beanies and MBAs. Sigh...

It pains me to have to write this but the Modern Cesar has been a top notch staple pf mine and the last 2 times I have ordered it I've had to toss it. Not sure if they are using a different blend because it has red cabbage in it now but I am getting old brown lettuce mixed in with very little bitter kale. On a brighter note, the not so fried chicken sandwich was still good. Please, please go back to your old salad ways mendo

Everyone knows Mendocino is known for quality! My work will bring us lunch every once in a while, but it wasn't til I had their salad that I fell in love! Unfortunately my salad wasn't included in the door dash order so we had to place a second order. The WINTER CITRUS WITH GOAT CHEESE SALAD is a salad I will wait for though. It is packed with oranges, but I do wish there was more salad in general. It's a bit small for the price. The mint surprised me a bit but it wasn't a bad addition. The goat cheese, the nuts, red onion, and the citrus work really well together. Not a flavor combo I've had before but really enjoy!

I stopped by this Mendocino Farms today because an ice truck was set up in front of this place so I was planning on getting that afterwards. I placed my order online for their farm club sandwich and customized it. I didn't want avocado or red onions in it. I found parking in the parking garage located at the back of this place. When I walked inside, there a rack for online or take out orders but there was no order on it. So I checked in with one of the worker and they keep it in the back which I think is great so no one can take your food. I ate my food inside of the place and it's a nice area to just sit to eat your food. I thought the sandwich was okay but if I had the choice, I likely won't order it again here. This place is more like healthy food choices and pricer than other places but I don't think people mind that I brought my own French fries and soda from places nearby.

I love stopping by when I am back in LA! If you feel like you need a quick and tasty salad or sando, don't hesitate to stop by, they truly have one of the best selections of healthy meals in SHOK. My personal go to is the Chinese chicken salad! With crunch fresh greens, perfectly cooked chicken, and the tastiest dressing and toppings - it has become my tried and true! I am so excited that we are getting a Mendocino Farms in Santa Barbara soon! Ps. If you like spice & I mean REAL spice, don't skip the Mama Zuma's chips!

Two thumbs up on the Winter Citrus and Goat Cheese Salad - tasty, filling (in a good healthy way), served with a smile for $15. This is the best salad I have had from here, one of the best salads I have had anywhere for a long time.

PARKING 5/5 Free parking structure in the back for all restaurants FOOD 4/5 Salads and food are delish very consistent Favs are the happy hippie and no so fried chicken SERVICE 5/5 No issues from anyone working here

Love the people and the professional way they treat their clients The food is wonderful I am here almost everyday

Completely changed the menu. They don't take $100 bills. They make it so difficult to orde or make changes to your order or enjoy a visit, then ask for a tip for taking your order. The girl repeated back my order and said the things I wanted extra of she removed?! Couscous was supposed to be to go. Asked for an extra dressing and both on the side. Delivered with the dressing tossed and no extra dressing. The guy who brought it to the table didn't stay long enough for me to tell him either of those things. Total fail. The scan code to get your food delivered to your table doesn't work! Not coming back. I wouldn't stay but I'm on a time crunch. JUST NOW OVERHEARD THE MANAGER SAYING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LEAVING BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE ITEMS THEY WANT! "SEASONAL PORK"!?!?! BEET SALAD!?!? They clearly don't care about what their customers want. Done with Mendocino Farms.

We ordered the Peruvian steak sandwich and Mama Chen's salad. Both were very good! I really enjoyed the salad dressing and freshness of the ingredients! The cashier was very personable and helpful with both food and drink selections. Three stars were given for the dirty tables and benches. We ended up having to wipe one down ourselves in order to have a clean place to sit. The floor also needed to be swept. There were several areas that had trash and food droppings. The restroom also needed to be cleaned and toilet paper restocked. One stall was completely out of all supplies.

Always super friendly and fresh! I really enjoy the seasonal menu options. Nice outdoor seating

I've been wanting to Mendocino Farms for ages, and I'm so glad I finally did. I never expected to find a nice blend of healthy ingredients at a local restaurant. I tried the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada (with light dressing), which was a good amount of food at an affordable price. All of the ingredients were freshly chopped and tasted great, and I especially loved the crispness of their ingredients. The only improvement I can maybe request is to ensure that the vegetables were all fresh since there were a few lettuce pieces that were browning. Overall, enjoyable meal, and I see myself coming back many more times in the future! :)

I ordered the seasonal Philly Shroomsteak and wowowow it made me come back and order it a second time. The sandwich had a generous amount of "shroomsteak" that was seasoned perfectly. It was tender and didn't taste mushy. It was nestled in some melted cheese and a roll that held it together without letting anything get soggy.

Great restaurant the team does any amazing job! Food is delicious and fresh. The manager Alex is very friendly!

This is the first time that I come back to Mendocino Farms after a long time and was extremely pleased with not only the food but the service. Dan from the minute we got to the register until we left was amazing. Great customer service. Food was great the corn soup couscous and quinoa salad were perfection!

First time eating and I was amazed with the scrumptious taste their fresh salad and green drink isTry the Mama Chen's !:) can't wait to come back and order for more. Highly recommend. Manager is extra nice and welcoming

Happy Lunar New Year! What better way to celebrate than getting Mendo's Original Pork Belly Banh Mi. I love that I have two locations to choose from in my neighborhood but the Sherman Oaks location has a such a low key vibe. This location is at the intersection of Hazeltine/Ventura Blvd inside the same plaza as Islands and Verizon. There's a large (free) parking structure at the back of the restaurant which is convenient. The service today was stellar, the cashier was so polite taking my order. When the sandwiches were dropped off, our server was so sweet and made sure we were taken care of. I can't think of a better way to celebrate the Lunar New Year than to enjoy a Banh Mi sandwich on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. This is a fun sandwich shop for anyone looking to have a quick bite or have a conversation over a quality lunch.

Thank you to Robert (I believe the manager) who checked to make sure my order was gluten free and were down allergy!! I really appreciate you going the extra step! Ordered the farm stand sandwich and the super food salad to go sans cheese Super busy on a Sunday night but my order I called in was really in 10 minutes!!

I love Mendo! As I call it, short, sounds cool to me haha Food has always been amazing and my favorite salad is always a hit and I feel like it will always be my go-to. I get the Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada and it burst with so many flavors all mixed into that bowl. They are always quick and friendly when I come to this location and it's clean too. Even though most of the time I order take out, the food doesn't not disappoint when it's not had at restaurant. Overall I love this place and I'm happy they're opening more!

Love Mendocino farms! They have gluten free bread which is a huge bonus for me. I love their chicken caprese sandwich! The staff is attentive and friendly. My kids love the variety of the kids menu. Staple, easy to-go, healthy meals

I drive by this location daily on my way to my early morning workouts but had never been to this location. My parents wanted something quick and simple and suggested Mendo. As there are 3 surrounding the local area, I suggested we try this one as it was in the direction we all were heading. As most of us were not super hungry, my mother ordered a cup of the Thai Sweet Potato Soup (Puree of sweet potatoes, red bell peppers, shallots, coconut milk, lime, Thai red curry, ginger, lemongrass, almond butter). My father and I had ordered what we thought was going to be the Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad (Shaved, roasted chicken breast, napa cabbage & kale slaw, carrots, bean sprouts, baby spinach, chopped romaine, scallions, cilantro, toasted cashews, crispy wontons with Miso Mustard Sesame dressing). So as we were ordering, they told us they were out of the Miso Mustard dressing and suggested the dressing that goes with the Thai Mango Salad (Shaved, roasted chicken breast, ramen noodles, napa cabbage & kale slaw with carrots & bean sprouts, baby spinach, sliced mango, honey roasted almonds, pickled daikon & carrots, Thai basil, fresh mint, cilantro, lime, and fried shallots with Thai almond dressing). What came to the table instead was the Thai Mango Salad. Due to the dressing being adjusted, it seems like they misunderstood and just made the overall wrong salad. I prefer this one but don't usually order it due to the higher cost and calories. They were nice enough to make the Chinese Chicken for us to take with us. Also, while my mother ordered a cup of soup, they brought her a bowl, so I shared it with her. It is moments of these when businesses mess up that they make it up to the guest which makes for true service. I will be back at this location!! Parking tip: Park at Ralphs and walk over as there are barely any spots in the garage that the restaurant is attached to.

Food is good,, however, menu is overwhelming trying to figure out what to order. Service staff is friendly and helpful. Ambiance is clean and casual. Although Mendocino Farms appears to be healthy, one needs to pay attention. NOTE: The lids for their drinks slip-off very easy and need to be replaced. Horrible when you spill your drink(s) all because of the poor choice in cup-lid combination.

We live close to this restaurant, and eat here often. We enjoyed the food, especially the chicken salad and the half sandwich and cup of soup combination. On May 22 we ordered a chicken salad. The spinach was slimy. We took the salad back and they graciously exchanged it for the citrus goat cheese salad. It's a beautiful salad. But the spinach was slimy in this salad. We left the restaurant and decided to never return. The restaurant is clean and members of the staff are friendly and efficient. There is outdoor dining. We will miss going there, but it's hard to go back to a place when we were served disgusting food.

Short and to the point! Quick ordering process and quick delivery to your seat! Price point isn't bad for the quality of ingredients. That said, the sandwiches may be small for a lot of people but they're delicious! The potato salad was not spicy at all and just ok, wouldn't order again. The Peruvian steak sandwich was delicious! Great sauces and tender meat! The tables were a bit dirty but otherwise this was a solid place for quick but quality food!

Mendicino used to be great!! But not anymore:-( we ordered kids chicken tenders that looked stale and were toasted and served. Not sure what happened to fresh food concept. They looked worse than mc donalds! We also got chinese salad that was missing mandarins and we werent notified they will be missing. Bang mi sandwich seems to have shrunk in size and has lost its flavor and was missing ingredients like daikon. Not sure happened, cause we have eaten here many many times and food used to be great.

I've enjoyed their sandwiches. Their menu tends to switch except the Peruvian Steak and Not so Fried Chicken. Their Thanksgiving special November to Remember is good but this year it was a little more bland than before. Not sure if they've taken out some ingredients and changed the bread but it was kind of bland and smaller. I also noticed some of their sandwiches are smaller than before. Flavor is good though. This location had good parking especially being on Ventura Blvd. it is a nice location overall with outdoor seating and indoor seating.

I come here like once a month tbh, the team is always so warm and welcoming! food is always 10/10, spot on, and they're so quick too. love me some mendo!!!

Tasty, healthy, and satisfying food! The variety of house made drinks and adult beverages is also a plus. Highly recommend.

Jackie the cashier always takes great of me here! She is very sweet and helpful. I usually order the half sandwich/half soup combo -- and it's great for lunch or a light dinner! There is free parking in the rear. The salads are amazing -- especially the avo and quinoa salad with chicken! You can't really go wrong with Mendo. Sometimes the wait can be extra long especially during lunch on weekends. So be prepared to wait if you go during rush hour.

We love coming to this Mendocino Farms. The staff are always helpful and friendly. The food tastes great and is fresh. Portions are really good. The space is welcoming and comfortable. I like having this fresh, healthy option in the neighborhood that you can always count on.

Stopped off at this location on our way back up to NorCal. Alex took care of us and was super friendly and welcoming. Natali brought our order to us and was also genuinely friendly and helpful as well. Mendo never disappointed and still doesn't. Oh the roof was awesome as well. Great location and makes us miss not having a location in our backyard now. Marin needs you! Thanks again Alex and Natalie

I'm ngl, this review would be 2 stars if it weren't for the blue cows inside this restaurant. they're honestly worth the visit by themselves and make the space super fun to look at. you order at the counter and then scan a QR code to tell the staff which table you're sitting at so you can get your food (i think). I got the pink lady beets & goat cheese salad and while i'm sure that the other food here is good (probably get a sandwich if you come) the dressing was just not it. the rest of the salad was decent but the dressing is just way way too sweet. the goat cheese by itself honestly probably would've been enough without the dressing (it's like an ice cream size scoop of goat cheese btw). I'd come back to try sth else because i've heard great things but i wouldn't recommend this salad

I always come to Mendocino Farms Sherman Oaks because the crew are amazing. The food is always great.... The vibe is great... but the crew here are the best... the manager Rene is great and the like Dan are soo friendly. The service is great

There's something wrong with the people preparing the orders. It takes an unusually long time for them to prepare the food. Even if it's just a salad. It wasn't even busy. The funny part is they'll give you a heads up that it'll take 10 mins but that's definitely not true. It not that good to be waiting 20 minutes. Speaking of the salad... the base to add on ratio is disappointing. There's gonna be more lettuce than anything. The ambiance doesn't match the food... looks like a bbq restaurant

Food is consistently fresh, fast, and tasty. The workers are always nice. Always a good pick to enjoy a quick lunch date with friends.

Love this place! This is the second location I've eaten at and enjoyed the food just as thoroughly as I did at the first. Appreciate the quality of the ingredients and the unique flavor profiles. I don't think I've ordered anything from here thus far that I have not enjoyed so I would go as far to say as, everything on the menu must be amazing!

I used to order their pork belly bahn mi (on a toasted sesame bun) at least once a week. It was delicious! Probably one of my favorite sandwiches of all time. Well, for some inexplicable reason, they got rid of it. Unfortunately their other sandwiches are not even in the same league. Many of them are dry, have too much lettuce, or are dripping in oil and are too messy to eat. The location itself is pretty standard. I like that the parking is fairly easy. That said, I have no reason to come here anymore.

Mikayla is awsome & Manager omg Renee super nice very polite!!! I recomens this place

You can never go wrong dining at Mendocino. Every single item on the menu is fresh and tasty. I've been to a few locations and all have the same great service and quality of food. Although a casual atmosphere, this place is a good for group outings too.

My business colleague and I had lunch at the Porter Ranch Mendocino Farms yesterday. It was spectacular! The weather was almost 80 and sunny with a light breeze. So we ate on the patio. The ambiance was electric with all demographics of people enjoying their day. To begin with, the service was outstanding, but it got even better as the lunch meeting progressed. First of all, the service was almost instantaneous! The order couldn't have been in for more than 4 minutes before the fresh, delicious items arrived at the table. Then, the food was so good that our taste buds blasted off into another realm. Then I had the Vegan Banh Mi sandwich that I've enjoyed in the past. The manager Arleen H came by to see how everything was. We both exalted the restaurant. I happened to mention that I loved the sandwich even though it's gotten smaller since the last time I had it. She was perplexed and said they're always the same. I suggested that it feels smaller in my hand and lighter in my mouth than when I've had it before. Even though I was enjoying my food and didn't complain about it, chalking the size up to inflation and food costs, she made me another one to take home at no charge. What? Who does that? Mendocino Farms does that! We had a delightful time. Arleen H was a blast to talk to, and her giant ebullient, positive blasts really made us feel welcome. Personally, I can't wait to go back. Hey, wait a minute... It's lunchtime. Be sure to let Arleen know Mike and Curtis sent you.

Food quality is ALWAYS the same. You don't get that in many restaurants now a days, let alone ones that have this many locations. Menu is well thought out and always meticulously put together. The food is delicious. The staff are always warm and the customer service is great. Not a huge fan of their interior design, but we usually don't eat there, we always order and the food arrives fresh, just like when you order it at the restaurant. I particularly like their sandwiches, they always have a twist that makes it unique to Mendocino, and that's one of the reasons we keep coming back.

Highly recommended! We were recommended to this place by our son-in-law as a good spot to meet up with an opera singer fried of ours. The service was impeccable, the place itself was beautifully clean and the ambiance was indeed ideal to have a drawn out, warm and chatty lunch. There were four of us (myself, Mrs G, our daughter and our friend. We all enjoyed every bite and, sharing a table meant for 8, with low levels of music as a background it was pleasant boarding on memorable. Both Mrs G and I had their excellent version of a Caesar salad, mine with chicken added. Two big thumbs up!

Wow! Mendocino Farms is a fantastic restaurant to have lunch! My daughter, husband and I enjoyed the food very much! It's a cozy and charming place! I look forward to returning soon! The staff is friendly and efficient !

Thank you for bringing it home! Thank you for your talented team members. Thanks for the quality!!!!! My last gratitude was to MENDO not me do

l drove 40 minutes there and 40 minutes back home, expecting a fresh meal, only to find out the spicy couscous I ordered on 10/11 was actually made two days ago on 10/9. If I wanted two-day-old food, I would've just eaten leftovers at home. After all that effort, I'm beyond disappointed. Paying for fresh food only to get something that's been sitting for days is unacceptable!

I've only been to mendo a couple times but this time stood out bc of the sweet boy named Rob or Roberto I believe. I have some pretty annoying dietary restrictions but he was so accommodating to my needs to where I didn't feel like a nuisance. My salad was so tasty and I looove the ice tea here. It reminds me of the homemade kind my mother makes.

First time visiting Mendocino Farms and it was great! Upon seeing the cow and colors I was confused thinking I was walking into a Fairlife milk store or something, but this was definitely not that. I got the pork belly banh mi sandwich and let me tell you, that thang was thangin! (That's code for extra delicious.) The pork belly was good enough to stand all by itself, but the whole package was even greater than the sum of its tasty parts. The veggies, sauce, bread, all of it. About as close to perfection as I could have hoped for. I didn't really have any expectations going in, but if I had, Mendocino Farms would have exceeded them.
