I love this place & I eat here for their delicious food. I recently had an experience where I ordered through their online website, and there was a glitch in the system. I showed up at the store to pick up my order but it hadn't come through on their end. The Manage Axel was very understanding and without question was very eager to fix the situation. It's employees like Axel that turn a restaurant from a "every once in a while visit" into a "frequent customer" thank you for your professionalism Axel. I will definitely be back again and again. read more

I have been wanting to try Chop Stop for so long! I ordered online and was easily able to build my own salad. Everything has calories listed next to the items so that's great for those who like to be informed. It was a solid salad! Everything was fresh and the toppings were balanced. The fat free ranch was actually bomb! Sometimes it has a weird flavor but this one was great. I only wish there was more lettuce and I would recommend to not get the dressing tossed in. They put a bit too much and it was a little soggy although I picked it up right on time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are tables outside, inside, and even though it's a busy center there was parking right out front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely get this again! read more

We have been getting delivery from Chop Stop for the past few years and they have been absolutely fantastic. I get the Santa Fe Chop that has Romaine, Seasoned Chicken, Avocado, Pepper Jack, Roasted Corn, Black Beans, Tortilla Strips, Cilantro Lime. The dressing that comes with it is light but full of flavor and they always fill the bowl close to the top but with enough space to add the dressing and shake it around for a more even distribution. We have always appreciated the service as they always include forks and napkins with deliveries which many businesses fail to do. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am not aware of the ambiance of the restaurant and the level of seating and difference an in person experience has because we exclusively get ours delivered.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Really friendly staff member helped us out, [[HIGHLIGHT]]fresh ingredients, clean interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of different options but feels healthier than other fast casual, so that is a plus! read more

Really wish I could keep this place a secret because it's so good but I can't I have to spread the love. First bite and I'm already in heaven, this place is superb, picked up two Caesar chopaninis before a golf round and it was PERFECT 10/10 in my book read more

Chop Stop - Cobb salad - Salad Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Ordered catering for a luncheon and it was a huge hit! Great food and a wonderful staff. Highly recommend!!

Great service every visit. Salads are ready pretty quickly, too. Consistently good! Love coming for a healthy lunch!

My team often orders from here through DoorDash and the orders always come fresh and correct! Have not yet found my favorite dressing, but I've only tried the cilantro lime vinaigrette and the blue cheese dressing. If you like blue cheese, the flavor isn't as strong as other blue cheese dressings. If you don't like blue cheese or are trying to slowly get into blue cheese, this is a good dressing to start with as it's on the milder side. Want to visit in person next time and have to try the ranch and Caesar dressing next. read more

Finally "stopped" at Chop Stop LOL. This is so good and a huge salad! I am surprised by the size. I ordered the BBQ Chop and had it tossed. Fresh, flavorful, and good dressing. The service was great. I enjoyed chatting with the owner and will definitely be back. read more

One of the best "salad" restaurants my wife and I have been to. The food was fresh and quantities plentiful. Staff was friendly and repeatedly ask if everything was OK. If you're looking for a healthy choice-I whole heartily recommend giving them a try. read more

Food was great... the photos do it no justice because this churrito was the size of my face... Service was fast, ordered online picked it up 15 mins later. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is like any other quick & fast sandwich shop nothing to call home about. Clean, friendly will be back to try more.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 1 flaw the menu isn't up to date & the chopped Italian is no longer available read more

Amazing staff, salads are always on point! I love that anything can be thrown into a wrap!

Another 5 star rating for the Chop Stop. Axel is the best. Vivek helped us tonight she gets 5 stars as well. The salad is always fresh and very tasty. We definitely will be back. read more

Fresh ingredients and friendly staff! Asian salad is our favorite. One salad feeds both of us.

We went here for lunch and both salads were made with ingredients that were clearly not fresh. The lettuce tasted preserved, the chicken was pressed meat with the fake grill marks, the bacon was the bacon bits you get from a bag, and the salad dressings were bottled, not fresh. We were really disappointed. Would not go back and would not recommend. read more

Chop Stop is the best place to get a good salad! I love that each combination is unique and designed to the customer's preference. Everything is fresh and delicious! We love to get salad here and pizza and it is the perfect combo. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. read more

Let's be real... it's rare for me to scout out a salad place. However for all my guilty calorie-driven pleasures that I've already partaken in this year, I thought I'd eat somewhat clean and find a nearby salad shop to make me feel better. After reading all the great reviews, I headed to Chop Stop in Aliso Viejo. I ordered my custom-made salad online. Chop Stop offers pre-made salad options, customized salads, wraps and Chopurritos, which appear to be rice & bean bowls with protein and salad fixing options on top. For my customized salad, I selected the house mix - 1/2 iceberg, 1/2 spinach with 6 toppings: chicken, egg, tomatoes, black olives, tomatoes, mushrooms and wait for it... fat free ranch dressing! The total came out to $11.84. Upon arrival, I was greeted by a friendly employee who asked for my name and gave me my salad. I took a quick peek at it, and was happy to see that it was a decent size bowl and had all the goodies I had requested. The inside of the place reminded me of a Chipotle assembly line. It appeared to be very clean inside and very... green. My salad was quite tasty, but I wish I would've sprung for the avocado. Clearly avo makes everything better, amirite? I was quite satisfied with my salad though... to the point where you may find me frequenting this place more often! read more

Maaaannnnn I was very excited to try this place. I was hungry and looking for a lunch spot. I was specifically looking for a veggie, high fiber, low fat breakfast. When I found this place, I thought "perfect!" I chose my selection of veggies and protein. I was super excited. I needed up with a tuna, veggie and cheese wrap. Since I was on the move, working, I opted to have it wrapped (normally it's offered as salad but wrapping it is a free alternative). Now here's what ruined my wrap :( I was asked if I wanted a sauce. I said yes, Cesar! When my wrap was ready, I jumped in the car and started off to my next project. I opened up my wrap on the drive and I could believe it. My wrap was absolutely drenched in Cesar sauce D'X It ruined my whole wrap and totally defeated the purpose of having a lower calorie breakfast. While the woman who made my meal was very nice, she was very heavy handed with the sauce. I love the theme and I would love to return, but this wasn't the greatest first experience. I have high hopes for next time. read more

Yes! Finally a dedicated salad spot in the area. Fresh ingredients, great salads and other stuff too. Susan the owner is super sweet!

Chop Stop offers fresh salads and rice bowls. They have 13 salad bowls (chop) and 5 rice bowls (chopurrito) to choose from or you can customize your own bowl. You start off with a base, toppings (6 included from proteins, beans & grains, veggies & fruits, crunches, cheeses), and a dressing on the side. They have super premium protein options like salmon and lobster which are $1.70 upcharge. Premium protein options like chicken and tuna salad are an $.85 upcharge. They also have the option to double, triple, quadruple, etc. on ingredients. I went with the chop lobster and customized it. Chop Lobster ($11.84) - This normally comes with a house mix (iceberg/spinach), red onions, tomato, celery, lobster, wonton strips, red cabbage and some thousand island dressing. I swapped out the tomato for a hardboiled egg and some sunflower seeds instead of the wonton strips. The salads here are enormous! I really enjoyed the taste of the salad here and all the ingredients seemed so fresh. I had a hard time finishing it and was stuffed by the time I finished. Overall, this a great place to go to when one is looking to have a healthy lunch. I'm surprised my YELP buddy Aaron E. hasn't visited, he loves salads. :P Next time I'd probably double or triple up on the proteins as the quantity is on the smaller side for that. I didn't try the rice bowl (comes with a cilantro rice base), but my friend's chicken bowl looked great. Expect to pay about $10 - $12 for the salads and bowls here, depending on what you customize it with. read more

I just had the most amazing salad and I wanted to highlight how great Jackie's customer service was. My daughter had said that it's rare to have employees with such great customer service, I noticed that 3 years ago it was part of my review. It's so refreshing that 3 years later they still have great customer service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great salad, clean shop[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and Jackie was super!! read more

Large portions, good dressing, fresh greens, and lots of customizable toppings. That's about all you'd want in a good salad. Fast service is helpful too if you're just doing a quick grab and go. They have a small interior but decent sized covered patio area if you're eating there. read more

I enjoyed my meal at the Chop Stop. I have ordered the Santé Fe Chop both as a salad and in a wrap. This time I ordered a salad with light Chipotle dressing and a salted pretzel on the side. My salad had avocado, corn, peppers and tortilla strips mixed into it. The dressing was not overwhelming and tasted great with the mix. I ordered mine to go. The restaurant is smaller inside. It is always clean and brightly lit; they have a patio with seating in the shade also. The customer service is good. When they are busy, they thank you for waiting. The orders are prepared in a timely manner. read more

Really good salads and fair prices. The portions are big enough to share or get 2 meals out of them.

We stopped in today to get two full Santa Fe Chop salads, split in half. It is the perfect amount of food for our family of four, busy athletes. The food is always fresh, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the restaurant is clean and inviting[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and Maria V. made our experience wonderful! We'll be back soon! read more

We need more salad places like this one! Food is good and fresh. Price isn't bad either.

I really wanted to like this spot!! i ordered the build your own chop and the protein I got was steak. Gross it was pieces of fat . I just like better quality ingredients in my food you can taste the difference and I didn't like the ranch dressing something was off with it. Farmer boys has a better salad and cheaper. read more

The salad were plentiful and fresh but the dressings were mediocre. I had the southwest chop which was supposed to have a cilantro lime dressing but really was just an overly vinegar-y vinagrette, and my husband had the Asian salad and the dressing was supposed to be sesame teriyaki but was very very fishy. He threw most of it away. Not as good as expected based on other reviews we read before choosing this specialty salad lunch spot. read more

I had a Cobb Salad here today. It was a good portion and every ingredient was super fresh. Great customer service with friendly people. Lots of options on the menu including build your own salad! read more

Chop Stop is a chain that has a ton of different salad options. The menu is definitely overwhelming if you decide to add your own toppings, but they do have some salad options where you don't need to "build-your-own." My favorite is the Asian Chop salad. It's sweet, and has lots of fun mix-ins such as chicken, edamame, and little crunchy crackers! The Caesar is also pretty good. I wouldn't recommend any salad with sunflower seeds though, since I made that mistake once and my entire bowl was basically a sunflower seed (waaaay too many). The portions are surprisingly large (I can never finish a bowl) and the service is always good. read more
