    Chinese chicken salad
    Jeff C.

    We ended up at Jack's for a dinner on the way home after a day at Apple Hill. It's tucked inside a shopping center and has a casual vibe where you order up front then they bring it out to your seat. Good menu selection- salads, sandwiches, and comfort food. Wanting something lighter, I ordered the Chinese chicken salad. Overall a good salad and good portions but I wish the chicken and oranges were cut up into smaller pieces. The rest of the family seemed to enjoy their food.

    I'm not sure why Jack's quality of food has gone downhill in the last few years. This is some of the lettuce in my salad.

    This is some of the lettuce in my Chinese chicken salad today. Jack's quality is going downhill! I've ordered this salad several times and either the lettuce is yucky or the oranges taste on the verge of fermenting.

    Superfood Salad
    Justin S.

    I've been to this location a couple of times and the service and food has been on point. Today I ordered the Superfood Salad and the Jacks Urban Fries well done. The Salad tasted fresh and I like how they gave me half an avocado! This salad could be served as an entree or split between 2-3 people. The fries also tasted great! Fresh and hot! Overall I would recommend this place. I came on a Sunday lunch and it was busy, yet the service was fast!

    Spicy Buffalo Sandwich
    Nancy L.

    I enjoy visiting jack's for a quick & simple salad, and it's been a go to spot on my list for years now. +Build Your Own Salads which comes with greens of choice, 6 toppings, 2 dressings, & optional protein. For a standard rate of about $13 plus protein price ($3-6) is a little steep but they do give a generous amount of toppings. I can usually get 1.5-2 meals out of it, but I have definitely noticed they skimped the past few visits. +A must order are the urban fries!!!!!!!!!!!!! Crispy thin fries covered with red pepper flakes, chili oil, & blue cheese. $5-7 depending on size. It's so creamy and tasty with a hint of spice, highly recommend. +spicy buffalo sandiwxh $14 was unimpressive. Bread was dry and not enough sauce. Would not opt for it As for the location itself, huuuuge parking lot shared with other complexes. Service is friendly and fast. They got my salad dressing incorrect and offered to remake the whole thing. Not the cleanest Jack's I've been too but they tend to be pretty busy so can't blame them

    Chinese Chicken salad
    JDM M.

    I had the Chinese Chicken salad. The plumb vinaigrette is weak and the specialty salad place doesn't have miso. The salad was fresh, service was prompt. Just weak on their salad dressing choices.

    Yummy for my large tummy. Lol

    Always a pleasure to eat well prepared food. The staff is genuinely very friendly, and the restaurant is clean.

    Came here for the first time for dinner. The experience was ok, open and bright, good selection of items...they are a little on the higher end for a semi-fast food/ self-serve eatery. We ordered four things: 1. Reuben sandwich 2. Mac n cheese 3. Chicken sandwich 4. Potato salad 5. His beer The food except for 1 was tasty especially my chicken sandwich. However, the Mac and cheese was dry and bland. Also customer service was ok, some of the staff looked busy and unavailable. Lastly, (bc I believe every sandwich should have mustard), they actually don't carry regular or spicy mustard. They have several sandwiches on the menu but don't have condiments...one employee said they have honey mustard only. The place looked somewhat clean except got several flies inside the restaurant buzzzzzzing around. Maybe getting some insect repellent for the inside would help. Ample parking space out front and different juices available. Overall, I'd try this again maybe at another location too.

There was plenty of seating on the shady patio, but it was really hot outside, so we opted to wait for a table inside. We had a drink and watched the NBA finals on the TVs (there was no sound so it wasn't noisy). I tried the Mustang Sally cocktail and it was well balanced and delicious! We were seated for dinner pretty quickly. The only problem I had was deciding what to order. The luau shrimp salad? Meatball sub? I finally decided on the lobster mac and cheese. While the portion wasn't large, it was delicious! Creamy and mild with fresh lobster (not fishy) and garlicy breadcrumbs. My husband got the ribeye and was thin but large with great seasoning and veggies. I'm not a big steak fan but I really liked it. We ended up grabbing some beignets to go for the kids, which were really tasty and came with 3 dipping sauces (our favorite was the Berry, although we ended up eating most of them without sauce). The atmosphere was upscale, but very casual, quiet and fun. We saw families with young children, couples on dates, and friends enjoying a meal together. It was the perfect vibe that we were looking for, comfortable, but classy. And the food was high-quality and tasty. We will definitely be back!

Upon entering, the hostess with the brown curly hair was noticeably rude and unwelcoming, which isn't the first impression you'd hope for when celebrating a special occasion. The food, however, was outstanding and was definitely the highlight of the evening. Every dish we ordered was well-prepared and delicious. Service was a mixed experience. While our server was polite, the service was quite slow throughout the meal, despite the restaurant being fairly empty at the time. Overall, the excellent food helped make up for some of the service issues, but the rude greeting and slow service took away from what should have been a memorable anniversary dinner. I hope management addresses these concerns, as the kitchen is clearly doing a great job.

    My husband and I were recommended this place by a friend who said it has the best tacos he's had…read moresince living in SoCal, and we absolutely agree. The food is SO good with everything made in-house and a clear passion is there with the quality and flavors. My husband had the "roadkill" burrito (pork belly with cheese and other yummy stuff) and I had the pork belly, Nashville hot, and quesabirria tacos along with their dulce de leche churros and vanilla bean gelato. Oh, and you start out with chips and 4 types of really good salsa. It was hard to pick out favorites, but we decided the peanut chipotle and roasted carrot habanero were goated; the other two were also also excellent, but can't help favorites. I'm terribly full and happy and can't wait to go back. The service was excellent, also. Presuming the name on the receipt was for the main person who chatted with us, Erik was funny and ended up being helpful with a side passion my husband's tackling (middle aged men and their love of smoking meat, amirite?). Jokes aside, everyone who works there was super chill and clearly stands by the food they serve. Thought it's not exactly SoCal, I grew up with Mexican friends in Bakersfield, all being either first-gen Americans or immigrants themselves, and had some of the best food ever while attending quinces or house parties, and it's been a long time since I've had deliciously authentic food like this. Also, totally unrelated to food but I like their bathroom setup. Their entire interior was super clean and cozy, but I appreciate when places don't have the odd typical American stalls where you can make eye contact through the gaps in the doors.

    We have been here a couple of times now, once with our parents and the other time with friends…read more Interestingly enough, my husband said he thought the portions. Have gotten smaller since the last time we came. I will say that I'm realizing the taco size is a bit on the small side. To really get full (especially for those who let's say didn't have a big lunch) it would be good to get 2-4 tacos for dinner. We have only tired tacos here from the Quesabirria to the octopus, roadkill to the cauliflower, and the al pastor and some other ones. So far they were tasty, some more salty than the others. I would say one of my favorite items is the elote, I recommend getting the whole corn that looks charred vs the bowl. The bowl doesn't do it justice and tastes like your eating corn from a can; there's no charred pieces. The chicharronnes appetizer was a good touch it tasted fresh and hot. The cucumber pineapple agua Fresca was also good, try it with Tajin on the cup. We had churro with ice cream for my mom-in-law's bday and wish they had other fun dessert options to share. One critique about our server was that he was not as attentive to our request: I called beforehand to let them know about the birthday and when we were done eating he hands us the check. So I had to go and talk with him; even after that he comes back with the plates for dessert which ended up no longer being a surprise which we had initially wanted it to be. And they also do NOT sing happy birthday here which is a bummer, but nonetheless we sang for our mom. Would we come here again, maybe but we may check out the Roseville location.

We were then greeted by an amazing Hostess who then asked how many and where would we like to sit. We said that it was 2 and that we wanted a Table or a Half Table / Half Booth. We sat down and then we waited about 2 or 3 minutes and then our waitress came over and asked what we wanted to drink. Being that the place had Pepsi products we asked for Pepsi and then a little bit time afterwards we got our drinks as we continued looking over the menu. After a few minutes we ordered our Entrees we got our Wedge Salads and let me tell you that our Wedge salads were delicious. It wasn't long after that our entrees came but let me tell you the Wedge Salads were delicious especially after we asked for extra Blue Cheese dressing. Being that my wife ordered the Wagyu Teriyaki Sirloin w/Mushrooms and I ordered a Mushroom Burger we then waited a couple of minutes after for our food to get cooked and come out. The whole time our waitress was very attentive and kept asking if there was anything we needed or if she could refill our drinks. About 5 to 10 minutes later our food arrived and not only was my Hamburger hot, but my wifes Wagyu Teriyaki Steak was delicious as well. I know I tried a piece of it while I cut it for her, being that she is left handed. Overall everything was absolutely delicious and being first timers at this restaurant we thoroughly enjoyed our food, the service and the experience we had while eating here. Thank you Land Ocean for giving 2 first time customers a beautiful experience. Knowing that Wagyu beef is by far top grade meat, I'll be back to eat some myself. After taking a bite out of her steak, the meat just literally melted in your mouth. I cant just give this place a 5 I'd give it a 10 being that everything was wonderful.

    My parents, best friend, and I were seated promptly after I checked in for our dinner reservation…read more The restaurant energy was high, which is not a surprise, because each time I have dined with friends here in the past, it's been full of people, which is a testimony to their excellent food, drinks, and service! For starters, we ordered French bread with salted butter, calamari with peppers and onions, and beef Wellington. Wow, ALL of these appetizers are exceptional! The fried onions tossed in with the calamari were deliciously sweet! The sauce of the beef Wellington was creamy and the puff pastry hugging the mushroom and beef was the cherry on top for this appetizer! Adam was our server who is kind, funny, attentive, and helped us with all of our menu questions. He checked on us often, making sure we had everything we needed and to make sure everything we ordered looked good and tasted good. Their other staff who brought our food, cleared plates and glasses, and checked on us, added to the excellent Land Ocean service! I asked for the top three menu entrees customers order and with this, Adam convinced me to order the Macadamia Nut Crusted Chilean Sea Bass with coconut jasmine rice and soy-ginger glaze. I ordered spinach sub, instead of the asparagus, due to dietary restrictions. OMG my first fork full brought me back to Honolulu, HI! The macadamia nuts were candied on top of the sea bass, making this the BEST sea bass with macadamia nut dish I have ever eaten outside of HI! My mom took one bite and decided to order this plate for herself because it is THAT rich, sweet, and perfectly balanced with the flavors of the spinach, rice, and sea bass. The sea bass is extremely flaky, to add to why this is my new favorite dish in Land Ocean! My parents gave me their roasted chicken leftovers to take home, since this entree is with generous portions, so I was spoiled with Land Ocean for a meal at home the next day. The chicken and mashed potatoes are so savory to the point that I ate every piece of meat I could from the bone! My parents came from out of town to visit. They praised Adam for his outstanding service and raved about the ambiance and taste and presentation of our Land Ocean dinner we enjoyed!

I asked my server how spicy it was, and he said not very spicy. He was right. It was a wonderful barbecue chicken, the chicken was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The honey gave it just a little bit of a sweet, without overpowering it. The sauce that came on the side with the chicken, I put a little bit on top, and it really added to the flavor. It had just a tiny bit of a "kick" to it, well within what I like for spicy. The sweet of the honey sauce, and the spicy played absolutely wonderful together.

We walked in and we were very warmly greeted and then we were then taken to our table where we sat down and from the time we sat down the ambiance was very nice and the decorations inside were just as beautiful. So after 5 minutes we got waited on and we were asked on what drinks we wanted and my wife and I ordered a Dr Pepper. Being that there was so much on the menu to order we kept asking our Waiter to please keep checking on us because we werent 100% sure as to what we wanted. Well after about 10 minutes we finally realized that we knew what we wanted to eat. We first started off with Appetizers and we ordered the Mushroom Bomb and Crab Wonton's. We put that order in and then about 5 minutes later the waiter came back and aksed what we wanted to eat. We both decided on getting the California Roll and The Rookie Sushi Roll. We both began talking and just enjoying the environment and let me tell you I have seen Restaurant Employees work as a team but the people at this place were completely in unison every time. You could tell that they all had camaraderie amongst them because they interacted very well with each other. The 2 people that I want to recognize because they both took great care of us was Seven and Bella. When Seven was off taking care of other guests, Bella would be right there working side by side making sure that the guests in their section were taken care of. The California Roll came out and so did The Rookie and let me tell you when I eat Sushi, I have to have my Soy Sauce and my Chopsticks, thats the only way to eat that. The California Roll was absolutely delicious and for the first time ever eating a Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Roll, was delicious as well. From the beginning to the end everything was wonderful. I'm so excited about this place that I am going to bring my "Lunch Group" here the next time we meet so they can enjoy Bento Box just as much as my wife and I did.
