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

Tasty, healthy feeling, and satisfying. I had this delivered for dinner tonight and was happy with both things. I liked the duo option with both a little soup and salad. The chicken in my soup was mostly good- there were more chicken grodies in it than I expected, but was plenty of other chicken to make up for it, so overall not terrible. The salad was fresh and delicious, had a variety of textures with the butter lettuce and watermelon radish- I liked the little crunchies they put in there for on top. An added jammy egg was a good call. Together, the soup and salad went well together. Looking forward to trying other things on their menu.

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!

Hair in dressing

Ordered from here on UberEats. I spent $40 on a salad 2 spring rolls (that's without any of Ubers fees). For that price I'm expecting high quality food. Instead I got spring rolls that were torn and dry (probably old), and my salad lettuce was wilted and there was a hair in my dressing. Yeah, safe to say I won't order from here again.

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.

Uncooked rice every time!
Donna W.

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.

The food is fresh, clean and delicious. I ordered on the app and it was really convenient for pick up. They texted me as soon as it was ready. Pretty awesome and quick.

Samantha W.

Absolutely delicious. When I think of healthy whole-foods. This is exactly what it should be. Whoever curates the menu & recipes did a fantastic job. Everything we had was so fresh, perfectly seasoned & executed, flavorful, and just downright delicious. Every single bite was so satisfying.

Penne No Vodka ( Gluten free pasta and pink sauce with hint of spice)
Brittney S.

I ordered off of instacart, goop superfina by goop kitchen and I wanted Italian gluten free. This was by far the most delicious food I've had lately! They did the pasta al dente and it had such a delicious sauce. Everything was detailed on when ordering on the instacart site and they use all clean, fresh and gluten-free, dairy free, nut free for some orders just read it. The turkey meatballs were delicious as well and in a red sauce with some type of cheese. I did get the ceasar salad not pictured but they had two types of dressing to choose from and I must say the recommend one was delicious and lemony! I definitely recommend this as a delivered food option for anyone who is interested in clean eating.

Spring roll salad
Danielle B.

I picked up dinner here because I've been wanting to try the famous Potts pizza. The pizza was $25 and came with 9 square slices. The crust was perfectly crispy. The pizza wasn't super greasy but it was lacking pizza sauce. We also ordered the spring roll salad. I was excited when I found the container large enough to shake in my dressing. The salad was made with very fresh ingredients. The mint definitely overpowered all of the other ingredients and it was lacking protein. The cashew vinaigrette was a nice compliment to all of the ingredients. It was creamy and delicious. I would definitely try something else if I ordered from here again.

Heard they have the best lobster roll in the nation so of course, the little food critic that I am…read morehad to come check this place out for myself. They give you the option of either a 4oz or 6oz, priced at $34 and $49. It's a Connecticut style roll made with buttered lobster on a toasted brioche bun. It also comes with a side of fries and you can choose your choice of seasoning, "Chef's way" or "Maine style." The roll is pretty expensive but honestly worth it in my opinion because of how much lobster they pack into it. The brioche bread was perfectly toasted. The lobster was fresh and buttery without making the bread soggy, even after pouring extra melted butter on top. This is definitely the best lobster roll I've had.

He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.

(Does anyone work anymore!? ) The longest I waited was an hour but that was 3 weeks after opening. And I can tell you, as long as you have the time it will be worth it. The overall aesthetic is coastal cowboy meets rustic modern. There is a ton of seating with a great outdoor patio. Parking in the back is pretty slim, so your best bet is street parking. You can either get lucky or park around the block, depending on the day / time. My absolute favorite coffee is the Hawaiian Cowboy. It flavor profile is a nutty tasting honey that's refreshing yet not overly sweet. You can actually taste the espresso without it being too powerful. This coffee is worth the wait. Their other drinks are also good, but this one takes the cake. They have a pretty expansive food menu as well, so it's much more than "just a coffee shop". And you can't forget about their baked goods. O M G. It's from a local bakery (sift bakery) who makes the best non basic treats around.

Spicy miso ramen: 9/10 Actually one of the better ramens I've had lately. The broth is creamier and isn't overpowering with chicken/beef flavor. The chashu was nice and tender as well. I really liked that their noodles were al dente and not too soft Deluxe mazemen: 8/10 Taking my first bite, I was instantly greeted with an explosion of umami. There's a LOT of flavor packed in this bowl and the noodles used are actually a bit thicker which is right up my alley. My only drawback on this dish was that I wished it came with some sort of veggies to cut through all the flavor.

The interior is cozy and small with authentic Japanese decorations/setup. Kinda felt like we were eating in Kyoto or something, lol. The lady who served us was friendly and gave us good recommendations. I think she was handling the whole operation to be honest. To start it off, we ordered their specialty chicken karaage and it was very delicious. It has a nice crispy and crunchy texture. The batter on the chicken was good and once you bite it, the meat is juicy and tender. Doesn't really need dipping since it's so good. As for the Mazemen, we ordered the Deluxe and Veggie one, both is a 5/5. Very flavorful and it tastes just like ramen, but without the soup. The presentation of the dish looks like a work of art. Very picture pretty. I ate that shit up within ten minutes. After that they give you a scoop of rice so you can mix it up with the leftover sauce. Lots of umami for sure. Definitely will come back again to try the other flavors. People, trust me and come through!
