Vegan Bahn mi which brings me to tears because it transports me back to LA
Prairie S.

Downtown LA, Downtown Culver City, my past in LA is peppered with great memories of the mouth-watering vegan sandwiches produced with unflagging quality and taste from Mendocino Farms. The sophistication of the "California palate" with casual Asian-, Latino-, and Mediterranean-inspired salads and sandwiches are the specialty of this chain. Healthy, flavor forward but with rounded mouth feel. YUM....the American melting pot is beautifully represented here (**current insecurities and hostilities notwithstanding.**) For me on a personal gut-brain connection, the vegan Bahn Mi hittss! I come close to weeping when I taste it because it transports me back to my Culver City days -- lounging on the grand staircase across from Sony Studios and the historic Culver City hotel. Basking in that golden sunshine and snarfing down the deliciously toasted bread containing pickled carrots and daikon and expertly grilled tofu, is a warm memory. If there is any comfort food I'd go back to repeatedly in the American culinary landscape, it is the vegan Bahn Mi. That's high praise coming from someone for whom culinary novelty and unusual palate is my zone. Don't miss the sophisticated drinks...their lemonade mixes are equally Asian-, Latin- and Mediterranean-inspired, complex, and zingy. With friendly service, the excellent sandwich-soup-salad combinations here make me just, well, HAPPY. This branch is rather clinical in architecture with far-too-big picture windows in downtown Seattle. Mendocino Farms should have done more of an intimate interior design rather than this awful cold glass wrap around. Yeeuuuuch!!

Sandwich is soooo good. Service was top tier. Location can get busy, so plan for that at lunch time on a weekday.

Lemon Chicken & Farro Soup

I come here for the Prosciutto & Chicken sandwich and the Lemon Chicken & Farro soup. I would try other things, and I have, but I know I will wish that I ordered my fav sandwich. The Prosciutto & Chicken is an elevated sandwich that has all these yummy flavors combined into a filling panini pressed sandwich. The crunch of the crushed honey roasted almonds intermingled with the basil pesto and balsamic glaze is chef's kiss! The Lemon Chicken & Farro soup is delicious! I ordered my food online and picked it up without any issue during the designated pick up time.

Peruvian steak sandwich

I came here for elite week and was very satisfied! I went in the evening and I feel like Mendocino farms is a very underrated place for dinner. There aren't many premium sandwich shops that are open around this time. I ordered the Peruvian steak sandwich. It has the perfect amount of spice so that it adds to the flavor rather than takes away from it. It was toasted perfectly. It didn't travel super well (got a little messy) but it didn't affect the taste whatsoever once it was out of the bag! Be aware that it gets extremely busy during lunch time and I would suggest ordering ahead.

We went as Elite members on "Elite week" at the Westlake location the one on 4th was too crowded plus no parking The salads and sandwich were freshly made, refreshing and yummy Idk if being Elite members made a difference as we were served quickly while others waited for their orders. The place was organized, clean, and staff were friendly & welcoming The place was packed as it was lunchtime!!

I visited Mendocino Farms as part of the Yelp Elite Event. I've dined at Mendocino farms before, but at a different location. I've tried a few of their salads and wanted to try a sandwich this time. This location is very spacious and comfortable. A huge plus for allowing dogs to dine in too! PERUVIAN SANDWICH - 4/5 The server recommended the Peruvian sandwich which consists of steak tossed in a spicy aji amarillo sauce, oaxacan cheese, tomatoes, red onions, shredded romaine, and herb aioli. I also added avocado. The sandwich was warm when it arrived and the bread was crispy and toasted very well. It wasn't too spicy and had a good amount of meat complemented by the tangy sauce. Ingredients were very fresh and portions were good. The crunch of the bun was a standout for me. If you're in the mood for something lighter, the salads are a great choice, but Mendocino Farms' sandwiches hold their own too!

This is a fast lunch place, easy for a quick stop during the work day. The salads weren't anything special, but were still good. 6.5/10 This is a good stop for salads, sandwiches, and more. Instagram: Madeline's_Dines

Loved this chain when I lived in Socal. So excited for them to be here now. Its a great space - easy to find - walkable if you work or live in downtown area. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They recommended the no so fried Chicken Sandwich as a crowd favorite. I added a chicken farro soup and guava lemonade. Yum!

Mendocino is a good lunch time spot. You can order online and their pick up system is quite efficient. The staff is super on top of it. I went during Yelp Elite Week and got the chimichurri steak sandwich. A bit messy for a work lunch but it's a good portion.

Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada
Ailun H.

Mendocino Farms is a fantastic fast-casual option in Seattle. I wish we had something like this where I'm located, lol. My friend and I stopped by a couple Saturday evenings ago hoping to enjoy a meal with fresh and healthy ingredients (like vegetables) because we truly needed a cleanse. AVOCADO & QUINOA SUPERFOOD ENSALADA - 13.95 +4 for grilled chicken (kinda worth, tbh) So much fresh vegetables and grape tomatoes which made me so happy. I love the toasted quinoa and millet which gave the salad an extra crunch for every bite. All the toppings really made the salad delicious and worth it. The cotija cheese was a good cheese option. The chipotle vinaigrette was light and sweet. What a tasty salad and it was so, so filling. I actually would not mind paying almost $20 for this since it's packed with a lot of fresh ingredients and it filled me up really well. The service here was good and the interior was clean. We had a good time eating and talking before they closed. My friend and I also shared a potato salad, which was quite tasty.

Good for catering - Walkable from Pike Place - Easy meal spot Their menu had a decent variety and was hard to choose from! Went with a staff members recommendation and ordered the turkey avo salsa verde sandwich for lunch. Overall, good quick and easy lunch spot. Worth to try if you're around! I was the first one in and I could see large catered orders everywhere! Took about ten minutes to get my sammy and it did not disappoint! Had a little kick to it and I could taste all the flavors from each ingredient. It was a hefty sandwich that will have you plenty full! This sandwich would be a hard one to save for later, it got soggy quick but not inconveniently so. Not a spot for a date or anything but if you're in the office and need a quick lunch this is a healthy option I'd recommend!

Mendocino Farms is such a great spot for a quick and healthy lunch! I'm gluten free and vegetarian and brought my vegan friend here- we both had plenty of options and the menu is labeled really well so it was easy to select things we could eat. The staff is so friendly and helpful! They gave us some great opinions when we were stuck on what to order and brought our food out quickly. The restaurant is clean and has fabulous natural light, but the food is also really easy to take to go. We ate in and it was lovely! Will definitely come back for another quick meal!

this sandwich was highly impressive as the main part of the…read moresandwich, it was pretty necessary that the pork be cooked to near-perfection, and i have to say it was here it gave off a deep, brown-ish color, which showed the extent of it's cooking and marination. It wasn't quite incredibly tender, but the marinade added an absolute ton of flavor. more importantly, it was present plentifully throughout the sandwich, so practically every bite came filled with pork I also have to mention how packed together the ingredients are between the buns. when you start eating, it's inevitable that a quarter of the ingredients will fall onto the wrap below, leaving a nice secondary meal to finish off after the sandwich is done. the sandwich is packed incredibly tight during the wrapping process, but it unravels a bit while eating. for me, the major highlights of this meal was the onions and the aioli Starting with the onions, these may be the best I've ever had on a sandwich. They're caramelized amazingly, placed onto the sandwich in astoundingly large pieces, are crunchy, and there's just a lot of them. They're just wonderful both texturally and taste-wise. This sandwich is absolutely lathered with aioli - practically dripping with it. This boosted the overall flavor so much, especially because this aioli was addictingly good. In my experience, the amount of sauce has been directly proportional to how much I enjoyed a sandwich, and when the sauce is this good - it's even on the top of the bun! - i absolutely loved it Somehow the lettuce stayed crunchy despite all the otherwise wetness going on in the sandwich. Props for that The jalapenos were great as well for that extra bit of spicy - I would've loved to have more of them while the bread was toasted well, the one downside was i thought it was pretty hard and tough, which made chewing kind of difficult. I found my jaw to be pretty tired at the end after eating this. I would've much preferred a softer roll that's easier to bite into I've had similar sandwiches from Paseo and Bongos, and in my opinion this does edge out both of those Comparing to Paseo, the sandwich there has way more oil, making it more sloppy and I do like the bread there a lot better, but the pork feels richer and better marinated here (although less fatty), and the onions are definitely caramelized better here as well. Bongos has a pretty similar level of pork with more, but onions are definitely a step down What moves this place above those two for me is the amount of aioli used here far exceeds those other places, which just makes the overall eating experience better For the price (about 14 dollars) this is a really filling meal

Messy, a little pricy, but great sandwiches!! There's lots of meat and flavor, definitely worth…read morebeing one of the top sandwich places in Seattle!

This is THE spot to come before Mariners games or nearby concerts and nobody can convince me otherwise. I've tried them several times in the past and now have my dad hooked as well. Their signature Caribbean Roast sandwich is absolutely phenomenal and I have the hardest time ordering anything else when I'm here. I have tried the nachos version of it before as well, and that's equally delicious. The key is definitely that succulent roasted pork. I will say that the sandwich version is MESSY so don't wear white, and also just be mindful if you have plans after. This year, my dad decided to order a pre-seasoned and smoked turkey from Paseo and my GODDD it was good! We made a gravy from the drippings as well which turned out so good too. We also get their street corn that was said to serve 4-6 but it was generous and we had leftovers. Absolutely a MUST try, 10/10 no notes. There's a reason they have received so much love over the years - no questions, no notes, JUST GO TRY THEM PLEASE.

The indoor space is really cute, but I was confused as to why everything was blocked off and restricted to takeout only. I ordered the famous Caribbean Roast sandwich and a side of rice and beans, which came to a little less than $30. While it's a good sandwich, it felt a bit heavy; I really found myself looking for more acid to cut through the fat and grease. I'm glad I was sharing with Jenny because it's quite a lot for one person. I also noticed toward the end that the bread was burnt. Overall, it's a solid sandwich, but between the stomach issues and the char, I'm not sure I'd go back.

I've had my eyes on the Fast Eddie ever since I heard about this place because it was one of the most recommended sandwiches. The ambiance was alright. Pretty dark imo but maybe because it was just after Christmas and they had their holiday decor up. Also the bar area was closed. I was a bit confused on where to order until I realized there were kiosks by the front counter. It would've been nice if one of the workers actually had said something to me. Anyway, onto the food. I got the Fast Eddie with fries and it was alright. The meat was bit dry. Yes there was the au jus to dip in and it helped quite a bit, but all the flavors just didn't mesh. It was basically an ordinary french dip. The fries were okay, but the jalapeno aioli was great! That made everything better, but not enough to save the sandwich. Not sure if I would come back, but I would definitely try a different sandwich. One that caters more to my taste buds

Located in the Seattle Center Armory, along with many other food vendors, Big Mike's Sandwich Company is serving up huge cheesesteaks, chopped cheese, and other East Coast-style subs. For $25, I picked up the cheesesteak and fries combo. Not a terrible price for the portion. Waited about 10-15 minutes for the sandwich to come out. You order on a tablet here, and then they call your name. It's a small storefront, so you really have to stay nearby to hear your name being called in the large space that is the Armory. Not much interaction with staff. Plenty of seating throughout the Armory, though shared with other restaurants. The food came out piping hot. Obviously, they cook everything fresh to order because the inside of the fries was like lava. The fries were thick-cut and seasoned to perfection. The sandwich was good. I thought some pieces of the steak were a bit tough, and the roll seemed a bit over-steamed or possibly stale. A good sandwich and decent portion, nonetheless. I'm still going 5 stars here. I think Big Mike's is a great choice if you want a hearty, meat-filled sandwich and you happen to be in the area. However, I think you could be happy with another dining option in the Armory, too. My kids loved the MOD Pizza nearby. While there isn't anything wildly unique going on at Big Mike's, they are still pushing out great sandwiches at reasonable prices with a no-frills ordering process.
