I've…read morenever been a big soup person since it seems like the same soups are on every restaurant menu, but Lucas, Grace and team are a soup powerhouse!! They're ideas are just so unique I can't wait for each week. Ordering is super easy (and social distance friendly) and pick up is a breeze. The SoupHerb team is so friendly and easy going too. Very customer service oriented and accommodated a couple of our special orders with advance notice. They've only been open for 4 weeks, and we've ordered a pick up 3 of those weeks. We're hooked!! The soups are so filling and all come with a fun and interesting side dipper. This is how soup should be done!!

We could hear live Blues playing down the street which meant there was life. We had just left the…read moreSanta Barbara Bowl and wanted something to eat after the show ended at 9pm. Not much was open which is how we ended up here. The place was super hot so we decided to order our food to go and there was a super annoying drunk guy ahead of us in line. I felt bad for the 17 yo employee stuck interacting with them. We ordered a sandwich with shrimp in it. L said it was good but the title shouldn't mention shrimp as they were super teeny tiny and basically non existent. I got the gluten free fried rice bowl with chicken spicy. It was not spicy at all, and the chicken was a bit dry, however I could taste the flavor of the chicken and the meal was bland enough that I knew I would be okay. Earlier in the day before the bowl we went to a winery and I had a headache, so this food for me last night worked especially since we picked it up to go and had it at our Air BnB.

Horrible customer service . Walked in no hello no let me help you . Stood there like a donkey…read morewaiting for some one to even acknowledge a customer. The front of house person knew I was there and still no word. The cooks back there looked super lazy and not even a hello. Me and Another customer were just looking at each other. We both walked out- the front of house or customer rep didn't look bothered. Owner : hire someone who has basic customer service skills. It's not that hard or do self check out. We might prefer AI. Horrible wasted time on my break going to a lousy place

After work, I decided to stop by Nikka Ramen for some lunch. It was a weekday around 1:30pm so it…read morewasn't too busy and I was seated right away. I knew I wanted a rice bowl but wasn't sure what I wanted on top. When I saw the half and half option with tuna and salmon, it was the perfect combination! The order only took a few minutes before coming out. It was delicious and very filling. There was a good combination of textures and flavors that made it a well rounded bowl. I had an efficient but delicious lunch experience at Nikka Ramen. I'd definitely come back!

Please never leave us, Secret Bao.

The service is on top of it and attentive. They are so kind, efficient, and awesome. But the food basically sent me to another plane of existence. I got the fried tofu spring rolls, which were phenomenal. They were a little flimsy to start, but what spring roll isn't? The tofu in it was NOT stingy... thick tofu blocks that are somehow so tender for fried tofu SO GOOD. The sauce that came with it was fantastic. The rolls were overall so refreshing and a perfect appetizer. And I got the fried tofu pho as well. When I say it was perfect, I mean PERFECT. Although it could do with a little veggies added, it was fine without them because the giant amount of noodles stuffed me anyways. Again, the tofu was PERFECT. If you are hungry in the Goleta area, give this place a try. I will be coming back.
