    Best salads in AV
    Daria M.

    I like this place. They have a lot of choices . Plus it's healthy . Inside always clean. Customer service also friendly and nice ! I would recommend this place to my friends

    Briana H.

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

    Caesar Chopanini
    Frank W.

    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

    Cobb salad
    Tony A.

    First timer here! I wish we had this in San Diego, I ordered the Cobb salad because it's ultimately one of the best salads on earth and the portion didn't disappoint. Super rapid and helpful service. Wish we can get these down south.

    BBQ Chop
    Jennifer W.

    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.

    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!

    Wrap drenched in sauce X^ make sure to let them know to go easy on sauce or have it on the side

    Is the lettuce organic?

    Hi Meghan! Sorry for the delay, we use only high quality, wholesome foods, including locally-grown produce but our lettuce is not organic. We would love for you to try us out! :)

    Will they split a salad into separate bowls?

    We absolutely can and do it often! Our salads are large and delicious! 😊

    Ingredients: organic lettuce? Organic chicken, clean dressing aka no cruddy oils?

    Yes ! Just ate here today and everything is super fresh. They give us a great amount and don't skimp at all for the quality. Not heavy at all.

I loved the smoky flavor; the bartender actually smokes the wood, which really comes through in the drink. Butterball Whiskey in the best way. Super smooth, you almost don't taste the alcohol at all. Feta Cheese Dip -- Surprisingly really good. The feta and tomatoes gave it a rich, umami flavor. Only downside: I wish they gave more bread because we had way more cheese left over. Goat Cheese Empanadas -- Solid. That classic goat cheese tang/funk, but really well done. BBQ Brisket Sandwich -- Just okay. The brisket itself had good flavor, but the bread was a bit too toasted and it felt like something was missing overall. Definitely planning to come back!

For all the restaurants in this center, in my opinion, Fennel is the best dining option if you want a sit down restaurant. Everything I've ordered thus far has been excellent, fresh, tasty, never dry. The service has always been extremely accommodating and the one time I've been disappointed in my original order selling out and having to wait too long for the final dish, they went out of their way to make sure I was given extra fries (which are excellent) and extra things to dip my heaping scoop of hummus into. Don't skip the cocktails, or really any of their handmade drinks. I cannot not get a cardamom latte at brunch, and it's so fun picking which cocktail to get to unwind with whatever dinner entree I go with (usually the salmon bowl). They have large tables so larger groups are welcome. I always see corporate type people having working lunches here, or families out for a nice dinner. This place is almost always quite full, but I still feel like they are slept on and under appreciated.

    We went last night and had a great experience…read more To start we ordered the appetizer dips. My favorite was the tzatziki. The eggplant was pretty good too. We also got lentil soup. This was a miss . Very little flavor in the soup and most of the time lentil soup has some lentils blended. This is more of a broth lentil soup. For my main, I got the beef kebabs. It came with rice and some vegetables. I didn't care for the pickled onions and the regular white onions were a little bit undercooked. The meat was a bit drier than most Mediterranean kebabs I've had. We had great service though. We were seated outside so I can't really tell you the vibe. It was packed around 6:00 PM.

The older couple running the place were just the cutest, super sweet and accommodating. We probably walked in about five minutes before their actual closing time, and they were already cleaning up, but they insisted on helping us anyway (even though we would have totally understood if they didn't). We ordered the two vegetarian options on the menu. I especially loved the bread on the cold sandwich. It was fresh, soft, and slightly sweet. The veggie melt just needed a bit more salt, but I liked the hint of spice. Overall, good solid sandwiches, but nothing particularly standout. We paid about $30 for two sandwiches, one bag of chips, and a small tip. A bit pricey for what it was, but I appreciated that they use fresh, quality ingredients. Honestly, not sure I would go out of my way to come back (unless I was already in the area), but it was a nice experience and I'm glad we tried it. The customer service was exceptional, and that is what would bring me back if I was nearby. Parking is easy since the shop is in a plaza.
