First time visiting Mendocino Farms, second time enjoying their food from the Midtown location…read more(which was brought into a lunch meeting a while back). What a bright, fun, airy space in the Ice Blocks! This place was hopping early in the lunchtime hour. Seemed like a mix between eat-in, to-go and pick-up orders. Fast, friendly service and great food. What more can you ask for? I enjoyed their Baja Green Goddess salad with Impossible chorizo (even though I eat meat) and picked up a vegan banh mi and seasonal BLT for some friends. All were tasty and nicely packed to-go. I look forward to returning to try more things and their different locations.

Inside, also an eclectic mix of seating with vaulted ceilings, cool/rustic lighting -- very much of a cool warehouse feel. I like. The counter order process is a little messy. First, the menu boards...it's a lot of delicious varieties that's hard to remember the exact names to order once you step up to the cashier. But the staff is wonderful, happy service people...that help you out to correct and clarify. My favorites: ============ * Impossible Taco Salad [5.0 stars] -- my favorite salad. * Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad [5.0 stars] -- omg, the chicken. * Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada w/Chicken [4.5 stars] * Saved Drake Farm's Salad w/chicken [4.5 stars] Seasonal favorites: ================ * Seasonal: Tuna on wheat (they are huge) [5.0 stars] * Seasonal "The 8 Hour" Smoked BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich [4.0 stars]: Pork was tender, but way too sweet and on grilled panini? Hardly. It was a 6" roll cut in half, and barely toasted or grilled. Plus, it doesn't come with chips, c'mon! That's a necessity in my book! Also: ==== * The Farm Club Sandwich [4.5 stars] * Habanero potato chips by Mama Zuma's...excellent. * Love the soda machine. You won't find Poopsi or Poke here, only Puck's - an all natural, no artificial colors or preservatives (you'll have to bring it from the outside if you want it!). Recommend: The Black Cherry. One peeve: ========== No salt shakers. If you ask, they have to go to the back and bring out a little paper cup worth. Almost making up for it are really nice pepper grinders brought to your table upon request. Location specific: Midtown Sac (R Street) ================================== A super cool newish structure in the new Downtown Sac area

I had been waiting to try Fresh Off the Boat for a while and finally stopped by for lunch. The…read morespace is roomy with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. It is a very casual setup, so do not expect an elevated dining experience. We ordered the FOB shrimp and the Chicken Katsu plate. The shrimp arrived a bit too sour and noticeably greasy for my taste. The Chicken Katsu was average and lacked the flavor and crispness I was hoping for. The macaroni and cheese that came with it was also quite dry, which made the plate feel incomplete. Service is minimal since you order at the counter and pick up your food yourself. I went in with high expectations and left feeling disappointed, especially considering how popular the place seems to be. That said, I am still open to giving it another try. There are a few other dishes on the menu that look promising, and I hope they will deliver a better impression on my next visit.

I stopped into Fresh Off Da Boat to pick up lunch after some meetings in the area. Honestly, I'm so…read moresad it's been so long since my last visit, because this place serves up some amazing food. The menu changes depending on what they're making, but they have certain items that are pretty consistent. One of those is poke. I LOVE their poke here, they have their own seasoned poke mix with fresh fish, veggies and sauce and it is delicious. They offer it as nachos, a bowl, or loaded fries and while I'm tempted to try some of the other options the bowl is my go-to. The poke bowl is $15 and comes with rice with furikake as well as a good portion of poke. Like I mentioned, it's preseasoned and it delicious. The ingredients are fresh and I love their flavor combination. I would love if the bowl came with a scoop of mac salad, but with the portion at this price I'm happy to add it as a side. I ordered the spring rolls ($4) and it came with five pieces of crispy and flavorful fried spring rolls. Great value for the price. I also ordered the pork laulau ($14) and Musubi ($3) for my husband and the portions on these were also great. The musubi was hot and flavorful and they gave me some FOB sauce with the musubi that went surprising well together. The laulau plate had mac salad, rice, and the wrapped pork. The pork was fattier than some of the laulau I've had in Hawaii, but was flavorful and the whole plate was a perfect portion for the price. The team working here was very friendly and helped me get in and out with my to-go order pretty quickly. The food was packed with care and made it home and was still nice and hot after the drive. They use high quality to-go containers and line them with aluminum foil which is a nice touch. They also made sure the vents were open on the spring rolls so they'd stay crispy. They have plenty of seating inside, as well as some outdoor seating. This restaurant is a bit tucked away, but has plenty of parking. I will definitely be back, and I won't wait as long between visits, because the food is so good! Check out their instagram for specials.

We both loved our drinks, mine especially. It didn't taste overly coconut or like artificial coconut. There were shaved toasted coconut bits on top which were fantastic. Even my husband who claims he doesn't like coconut loved my drink. Cold foam is a must add. Food: tried the breakfast sandwich and chickpea salad. Both were fire. The chickpea salad might be my new fav Sac food item. Staff: very friendly and quick! Everything came out really fast and they were moving thru the line quick too so don't let a long line deter you. Other: they have some great local food, coffee, and snack items to buy. I'm a sucker for cool merch so we snagged a couple of their Starbucks-style water cups and a skull coffee spoon. It was all super reasonably priced which was a nice touch. Looks like they do wine and beer too, my friend and I definitely going to check out the happy hour later this week. Whole place is 10/10

Back home in Hawaii I'm use to ordering Lemongrass chicken, but no one here has that. So to fulfill my craving I ordered the Lemongrass Tri-tip Bahn Mi. It did not disappoint. Was so Onolicious lots of crunch to the bread, meat was tender and full of flavor, and the right amount of pickled carrots, daikon, along with cucumber and cilantro that I was making my friends wanting one as well. Their sugar Cane fruit drinks are so yummy as well. I ordered a B.O.G. Which was perfect for a hot day, just a tad bit sweet but nothing that I would complain about.

I think it's entirely worth it; it levels up the banh mi as a lunch sandwich so well and makes it extra filling. Regarding the flavor of the banh mi itself, I think it is a great place. The bread is not too crunchy, so if you prefer that, you may have to go somewhere else. They really fill up these sandwiches with a lot of vegetables and meat, which I like a lot. It's not skimped at all, and adding the egg from home just makes it a bit more filling and tasty. the vibe this place gives off is an in-and-out type of area. You order upfront at the cash register, pay right away, get your food, and then eat at a table. It is nothing too fancy, but it is a nice spot to stop for a quick lunch. The inside is very spacious with many four-seater tables that could be moved together for a large party. They also have a very small grocery market inside that sells sauces, snacks, ramen, and Vietnamese ingredients. Don't expect too much, as it is more of a side feature. I did try their pho before and it was okay; I would rate it around a 3.5 out of 5. There could be other places that are better, but as of now, this place is solid. I give five stars for their banh mi because I keep coming back for them. Additionally, the customer service is top-notch. The team is very friendly, so I don't have anything to complain about regarding this place.
