    Soup and Side Salad:  chicken & vegetable soup for the soul, The BEST Arugula Salad add jammy egg
    Amanda N.

    Everything is always fresh, quick and easy to pick up, and yummy. It's been fun going through their menu, I have a few repeats which have been made consistently each purchase. This makes each order reliable and trustworthy. One item has fallen off the ball for me, their beet side salad. It used to be a favorite for me but recently, the cherry tomatoes aren't tasty and the orzo is either very undercooked or in very solid chunks. I'll try it in a month or so but for now the last couple haven't been the best.

    Fancy Mac-n-Cheese
    Felicia J.

    I LOVE ordering from here. Food is so yummy. I ordered the chili today and if you haven't tried their chili yet order it ASAP. It's hearty, healthy and packed with nutrients and still delicious. All the toppings they give you for the chili make it really, really good. The combination of all the toppings go really well together flavor wise too. I love idea of adding cabbage so the chili still has that added crunch without unhealthy chips in it. I ordered a bunch of items including the tried and true pepperoni potts pizza - it was just ok today and I wonder if they changed their recipe or pepperoni at all - it didn't taste like it has in the past and the crust did have a crunch I'd gotten accustomed to. But the Mac and cheese and chili - oh my gosh - delicious and definitely recommend getting those two menu items.

    Thai Crispy Rice Crunch Salad
    Alan A.

    Wifey previously had a catered salad here and raved about it. So, we gave it another shot on our own. First off, it ain't a sit down joint. It's a test kitchen with a counter. You can order here and wait or order on line and pick up. There is an on site order kiosk where you order and pay. Parking is a challenge. You will be locked in a mano a mano battle with other patrons and a host of Uber Eats and Doordash drivers. It's busy, people. It occupies a building with several other eateries. I got the Thai salad with chicken and Wifey got the Harvest salad. I gotta say, they were solid. Would get both again. I also got a Voss water which, according to Wifey, is the water of choice of Kim Kardashian. It comes in a heavy glass bottle. It says right on the bottle to keep it out of sunlight. Good food as far as what we got. They have other salads, bowls, etc. Not a sit down place, but decent place to get to go.

    The Montecito Turkey Wrap
    Lexy B.

    Went to the pick up only location. Wrap is on the pricey side because of the whole fresh ingredients. I appreciate the freshness although i think i would try a different item that is not as light.

    My Sister ordered the Summer Salad Roles and I had the Best Arugula Salad (+ pulled Mary's chicken). Let me tell you these are prepared with real fresh ingredients. You can tell by the color, taste and texture that you are eating healthy. It isn't a regular messy salad, each portion is enough for one person. The Green Tea was the perfect drink, cool and refreshing served in a tall glass bottle. The service was fantastic, pick-up or delivery only.

    Uncooked rice every time!

    HIT OR MISS, BUT WORTH TRYING... worth the risk! LOL When it's good, it's really good, the flavors can be delicious and fresh! When it's not, it can definitely miss the mark. The bright side is that the staff always makes an effort to communicate with the kitchen and try to fix issues, which I appreciate. The Costa Mesa location feels a bit like a fast-food setup (similar to a Taco Bell model), more warming and assembling than hands-on cooking, but the ingredients themselves do taste fresh, which I love. The Manhattan location has an open kitchen you can see, but the process feels about the same. No real chef. Just assembly workers. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind: 1. There isn't much connection with the kitchen at all, and sometimes communication can be tricky when explaining problems like burnt pizza or hard rice. Call hours to the Philippines. Hi Melo and James! 2. The food presentation is beautiful, and I do have to give them credit , the eggs are cooked perfectly every time! Salads are decent. They may still be using seed oil tho. Plant based dressing usually are. NO real dairy dressings there. Personally, I've had mixed experiences with the wraps and pizza. 3 times it was burnt!!! On the other hand, their turkey meatballs are a consistent winner -- those are 5-star every time. I recommend ordering a few of those and skipping the stress! Lastly, even though customer service is handled overseas, they've always been professional, responsive, and genuinely tried to make things right.

    organic turkey chili
    Amanda Z.

    I visited Goop Kitchen with my sister on a Wednesday evening. There's a small parking lot in front of the building, which is usually full, so we opted for street parking close by. There were no other customers when we arrived--only people picking up delivery orders to drop off. Since it was a ghost kitchen, we had a variety of options to choose from, but my sister & I had been hearing great reviews about Goop, so we decided to try it for ourselves. I ordered the organic turkey chili & my sister got the chicken caesar wrap. We both thought our dishes were delicious & I look forward to my next visit!

    Classic Spaghetti with Tomato and Basil
    Sascha J.

    Been wanting to try this place for the longest time and so glad I did. I ordered take out and so impressed by the variety of gluten free and vegan options. It was pretty pretty quickly and arrived super fresh. Got the pesto pasta and the classic spaghetti (both gluten free and vegan) and I'll just say this; was the BEST pesto I've ever had. So creamy and flavorful I could've had a whole second one. The quantity/portion size was also pretty good considering. I cannot wait to come back and get again or try a different dish. Definitely give this place a shot if you've never been!

    Affordable quality food. It was lunchtime and I wanted to try something new but healthy. My Bestie told me about the chicken wrap she had from this place the other day so I decided to give it a try as well as try a few other things that were on their menu. I ordered online and online ordering was very easy, but picking up my food was a little bit tricky. I'm not from around here and there's something called Costa Mesa kitchens where it's almost like a food hall and I was expecting there to be a sign that said goop kitchen, but instead there was just a counter in the front where your food was then held for you so apparently goop kitchen doesn't have a store presence, but they work with kitchens to make their food which is a very new and interesting concept for me. So after I figured out where to go, which was right in the front then I took my food home and I enjoyed every bit of it. The miso salmon was cooked to perfection. Although I did wish the salmon piece was larger. It looked like it was maybe Like three or 4 ounces but it did come with a lot of different sides. The salmon hand rolls were my favorite, so light and crispy and delicious. Japanese sweet potato soup was hearty but flavorful and they served it with roasted brussels sprout leaves that you can put on top which was really good. Then I had the chicken Caesar wrap that was surprisingly filled with falafel crumbles instead of croutons and there is a really nice sauce that went along with that. The total for everything came out to be about $60 for two people which isn't bad considering the quality of food that we were getting so I'll definitely be back for the salmon hand rolls and to try a few other things on their menu.

    Japanese sweet potatoes, shroom shroom pizza

    I have ordered twice from Goop. First time I ordered the turmeric broth, the Japanese sweet potatoes and side of chicken. The portion of chicken was on the small side for $7 but still good. I added to the broth and it was really good. The sweet potatoes with the cashew dressing was 10/10! It was so good I ordered again the next day. I got the sweet potatoes again and also tried the shroom shroom pizza and the roasted butternut squash, with a side of ranch and Calabrian caesar. It was all delicious!! There was an issue with my order so I sent an email to their team and they both called and replied to my email within 5 minutes! Top notch customer service, they really went above and beyond to 1. Listen to my issue, and 2. Provide a resolution that exceeded my expectations. Would order again not just for the delicious food but also for the excellent customer service.

From the…read moremoment you step inside, you are greeted by an adorable interior and decor that cleverly and beautifully matches the restaurant's theme. ​ ​Every single item we ordered from the menu was exceptional: ​Beet Salad & Bone Marrow: Both made for fantastic starters, setting a high bar for the meal. ​Beef Tartare: Served with house-made potato chips that are a masterclass in texture--thin, fried, airy, and crispy all at the same time. ​Steak and Fries: Classic execution and wonderfully prepared. ​Duck Confit: Superb. The pairing of the rich mole sauce and sweet potato puree takes the dish to an entirely different level, complementing each other effortlessly. ​Baklava Cheesecake: A creative and delicious twist on a classic. The cream cheese filling is light rather than dense, and instead of a traditional graham cracker crust, it features a fantastic baklava crust. It is nicely balanced and not overly sweet, though you will definitely want to pair it with a cup of coffee to finish it off. ​ ​Service: The staff is exceptionally friendly, highly attentive, and organized, making you feel well cared for throughout the meal. ​Portions: Portions are slightly on the smaller side. My husband and I ordered three appetizers and two main entrees to share, and we were still quite hungry by the end--so you may want to order an extra dish or side if you have a hearty appetite! ​Overall, a wonderful dining experience with incredible flavors and charming ambiance. Highly recommended!

I recently ordered the Seasonal GOAT with Pink Lady Apples Salad, and while the ingredients were fresh and the salad tasted good, the portion was incredibly disappointing. The website shows a beautiful, generously portioned salad overflowing with ingredients. What I actually received was noticeably smaller, with significantly less lettuce and toppings, and a lot of empty space in the bowl. It honestly looked more like a side salad than a full entrée. I understand that promotional photos are styled, but there should still be some consistency between what's advertised online, displayed in-store, and actually served to customers - especially given the price. I've had much better experiences with portion sizes at other Mendocino Farms locations, which makes the inconsistency here even more frustrating. I've attached side-by-side photos so others can see the difference. I really enjoy Mendocino Farms and hope this location can address the portion inconsistencies and bring its standards in line with the other locations!

There are plenty of seats outside with some shade, but only a handful of tables inside. It's in a plaza with various other shops, so parking is very accessible. Food didn't take too long, I think we got our food after 10 minutes or so of waiting. Honestly the presentation is solid. I got The Bowl Bowl, and my friends ordered the chicken wrap, Newport Bowl, and we shared Za'atar and sweet potato fries. The bowls came with a citrus sauce, but we had to order extra garlic and chili sauce on the side for the wrap and fries. The fries with sauce were honestly sooo good. The sweet potato fries had this amazing soft texture and it melted in your mouth, the sweetness paired nicely with the sharp garlic sauce. The Za'atar fries were well seasoned and had a nice crisp. They give you a good amount for the price! I personally enjoyed The Bowl Bowl, the quinoa mixed with fresh corn, big chunks of sweet potato (I think they would have been better cut smaller), avocado, their grilled chicken, and chips. I mixed it with the sauce and additional toum and thought it was a perfect post-workout bowl. Hefty, nutritious, and good for the cost ($15). I tried a bit of the Newport Bowl and it was basically a regular salad bowl, nothing special and in my opinion - not worth the price. You're better off trying a more varied bowl or wrap. The chicken wrap was fine, there were some pickled veggies that added a good crunch. The main reason why I'm hesitant to come here again (besides the fries) is that the chicken was quite dry in all of these dishes, and it didn't really have a prominent char or flavor/smell that would indicate it's been charcoal grilled. I do want to try this place again when it's not as busy, basically to see if the chicken quality holds up to other reviews.
