    Steak bowl
    Andrew L.

    I tried Cava for the first time today and had a good experience overall. I visited the location in the Woodbury Town Center. Food: I ordered the bowl with steak. The hummus,rice, and steak all tasted fresh and delicious. I would have liked it more if we were notified that steak was an upcharge. Service: The employees here are very friendly and helpful. Ambiance: I like the decor inside the restaurant. There is seating both inside and outside.

    Food is really good here! I finally got to try the restaurant, which I have heard great things about. I like the counter/quick serve style with the patio and inside seating options. I actually visited two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much! The first time I ordered a bowl and shared with my guy, the second time I got my own kid's meal and that was plenty of food. The bowl is pretty good size, I def couldn't finish one myself. The hummus is so good and the sauces/dips are delicious. They do limit you to a few of each when you get the bowl, and then you get minimal options with the kid's meal. I tried the chicken and it had a very good flavor that went well with the rice and veggies. Unlimited toppings are offered, which is great because I love the corn, grilled veggies and cucumber/tomato options. The fountain drink and tea/juice options are great - definitely higher level than most fast food places. Prices are fair for what you get.

    Always enjoy eating at cava! Ordered online and picked up. Spacious parking lot out front. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly workers and always a good time.

    Levi and Jude were amazing. My first time! Looks amazing. The food is both healthy and delicious. So many choices so you won't get bored.

    A good spot for a quick meal that's better if you order in person. There a decent amount of parking nearby in the plaza. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available. I usually take the food to go and the few times that I have dined in, I found it difficult to find a table that was clean. You order cafeteria style and pay at the end of the line. I order food from here frequently because of the convenience. I enjoy being able to customize the meals so that they fit everyone's dietary needs. Every time I go in person, my order is correct, but every time that I've tried ordering online, my order has been way off with lots of ingredients either missing or in the wrong person's bowl. They use good quality ingredients and the portions are generous. The size of your bowl may vary depending on what you order/add into it. Some of the workers have been trying to offer freebies in exchange for 5 star reviews mentioning their names which was very off-putting. Regardless, I will still happily pick up meals from here.

    Stopped by CAVA for a quick lunch and it honestly hit the spot. I built a bowl with chicken + all the toppings, and everything tasted fresh -- lots of flavor, good portion sizes, and the veggies actually tasted crisp instead of soggy. The roasted corn, pickled onions, and avocado always pull the bowl together for me. The pita on the side was warm and soft, and the dressings were balanced without being overly salty or heavy. It's one of those spots where you know exactly what you're getting, and it's consistently good. Service was quick even during a rush, and they didn't skimp on portions (huge win). Outdoor seating was clean and easy to grab. Solid, reliable option when you want something fast but still flavorful.

    Always kind and quick service! Super fresh option for a quick meal. Honestly I prefer this over chipotle any day!

    Greens + Grains Bowl
    Mari F.

    First time trying Cava and I loved it! The build your own bowl option is awesome because there are SO MANY fresh options and delicious topping to choose from!! Mediterranean flavors , perfectly grilled and flavorful chicken meat , lots of sauces and veggies this place is great!! The Service here was very fast and easy !

    I was disappointed with my experience at CAVA. The portions were very small for the price, and the customer service was poor. The manager was unprofessional and did not handle the situation appropriately. I expected much better service and value. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. Not recommended at all

    Amazing food and great service! Shout out to Levi and Jude

    First time coming to this location and food was superb, amazing service and cleanliness!! shout out to Levi & Jude

    Alex and Robert and Levi were amazing!!! I love Cava, would recommend the braised lamb either way salad here. The best quick meal in the area. Nice and clean seating area and great service!

I ordered the chicken…read moreshawarma plate, and the portion of chicken was surprisingly small, just a few tiny strips compared to a huge mountain of rice. It honestly felt like the plate was mostly rice rather than a chicken shawarma plate. As well the pita bread does not seem freshly made but packaged taken out of a bag from a market. The hummus and tzatziki were also very watery and lacked the texture I expected. I tried the cucumber refresher as well, which was okay, but it had a noticeable tap-water taste that made it less enjoyable. What bothered me most was the service. When our server asked if everything was okay, I politely mentioned that there was very little chicken on my plate. Instead of acknowledging my concern, offering an explanation, or trying to make it right, he simply walked away. Why ask how everything is if you're going to ignore the answer? Unfortunately, I left feeling like I basically paid for a plate of rice. I was full, but mostly because of the mountain of rice, not because I received a satisfying chicken shawarma meal. Between the portions, watery sauces, and dismissive service, this was a disappointing experience.

It's pretty far from home, but I…read morecould easily work it into the flight path so to speak, between the Tustin REI and 17th Street in Costa Mesa. Located in a small but busy plaza, HOK is a small, potentially packed restaurant with a few tables outside. About half full mid afternoon on a Saturday, i got a table and quickly made a decision to try the combination plate with a chicken and kubideh kabob, with rice. Next time I'll branch out, but this first sample provided much pleasure and evidence that they can't do anything wrong (except be closed when I'm craving more ;) A few minutes after placing my order the warm flatbread came out with butter. Comparatively, many other Persian restaurants use Lavash sections, so I enjoyed the contrast. The neighboring table of four received their plates one at a time, so I figured the kitchen and grill were probably also fairly constricted like the lobby. Nonetheless, it didn't take long and the generous, colorful portions were a sight to behold! The first thing I noticed was how moist and tender both kabobs were. Not burnt or dry anywhere on either type. That's attributable to the elevated method of grilling, but here the chef has it down to a science. The second observation came later when I didn't feel excessively thirsty, or bloated, ir dehydrated. Some restaurants really brine the meat while marinating, but here it's another level of perfection. Good service and a reasonable price, although the menu prices might be behind current food costs. Still, it was totally worth it. I didn't have a way to keep leftovers in a safe temperature range, so I ate everything. Full, but not stuffed.

The grilling was done skillfully, but I must say that due to the size of the actual meat chunks, my skewers were rare, not med rare. But, delicious and savory nonetheless. The salad was crispy with red onions, tomato wedges, cucumbers. It was under dressed but still very tasty. Also had the humus which was good, a bit more oil would be nice. My daughter had the Spanikopita appetizer which looked really good with a lot of filling. My wife had the soup that was very tasty, with dill sprinkled on top, cannot remember the name. The soup was steaming hot, which is how I like any soup to be served. For dessert we had a Baklava that was sweet, but so crispy it was a bit hard to eat, almost too dense and crispy-dry. Definitely worthy of a 5 star rating. Someone who is serious about quality ingredients designed this menu. I would enjoy eating here again.

Before you visit, keep these things in mind: 1. This is a ghost kitchen, not a full-service restaurant. It's best for takeout and delivery. There are only a few chairs outside--just four in total. 2. Ordering is entirely self-service via a digital kiosk, with no staff on hand to assist you. 3. There are no bathrooms available anywhere on-site. Regarding the food, it was just okay-- a bit underwhelming, especially given that Lebanese cuisine is typically so flavorful. The chicken was dry, the hummus lacked depth, and the rice was bland. That said, the fattoush salad, one of my favorites, was very good, with a delicious dressing. Overall, I can't say I'd return. The prices were quite high for the portions, and the quality didn't meet my expectations. If you're looking for a quick Lebanese meal, this place is a decent option, but don't expect much more than that.
