Really enjoyed the salad here. Everything tasted super fresh and the ingredients went really well together. The portion was generous and the dressing had a lot of flavor without overpowering everything. Definitely one of the better salads I've had lately and I'd come back for it again. read more

The place itself is pretty spacious, with both indoor and outdoor seating, which was nice. We ordered the Custom Create Your Own Bowl (about $19) and the Caramelized Garlic Steak Bowl (about $17). Ended up waiting about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The cucumber tasted like chemicals, which made it hard to enjoy that part of the bowl. The size of the customizable bowl was fair, but the portion size of the other bowl was honestly small considering the price. For the customizable bowl, the only ingredients that didn't seem skimpy were the quinoa, broccoli, and romaine lettuce. Everything else felt like very small portions, especially the sweet potatoes. The salmon also tasted dry, which was another letdown. One positive was that the workers were nice, but overall the portion sizes and food quality didn't justify the price. read more

Customer service was great! However I was sad to find out that canola oil and sunflower seed oil are used in some of there dressings and food. I love sweetgreens but it's disappointing when they're supposed to be a healthy eating establishment that they use some poor ingredients. It limits what I'm able to eat there unfortunately. read more

4stars to the always-amazing harvest bowl, which always hits the spot. But the Caesar wrap, which apparently is a new creation was lacking flavor and was just too dry - I would not repeat the wrap. Service is good, clean, the salad bowl preparation is automated at this location, so pretty cool to watch. read more

Peaches and Goat Cheese Seasonal Salad 8.28/10- made with spring mix, shredded kale, peaches, goat cheese, cucumbers, roasted almonds, and balsamic vinaigrette. I added roasted chicken, roasted sweet potato, and za'atar bread crumbs to it since I normally get the harvest bowl but wanted to try something new. Normally I don't like fruit in my salad but this was actually really good! The spring mix and kale were fresh and crisp, and the roasted almonds added great crunch. The balsamic vinaigrette was perfectly tangy and not too heavy. I do wish the peaches were a bit colder in the salad though, they were more room temperature which made them less refreshing. There could definitely be more peaches included in the salad too since they were the star ingredient. The goat cheese was good but I wish they had smaller pieces more spread out throughout the salad, rather than those big chunks that were hard to distribute evenly. The roasted chicken I added was tender and well-seasoned, and the roasted sweet potato was perfectly caramelized and added nice sweetness. The za'atar bread crumbs were such a great touch as they added amazing flavor and texture that really elevated the whole salad. This was a nice change from my usual harvest bowl and I want to try the other seasonal salads- elote bowl and caprese. The combination of sweet peaches with tangy goat cheese and crunchy almonds was really well thought out. Also the newport location has robots making your food which is really interesting as the other OC locations are not like this! Instagram: @hungrytamale read more

We ordered take out from here for an office lunch and the restaurant completely screwed up our orders. I ordered a chicken parm pesto bowl which came without chicken.... Same with my colleagues who ordered a meat bowl which came without meat. We paid full price and got 0 protein which is nuts. The bowl was tasty and loved the pesto but it had no protein in it. read more

I have been a loyal Sweetgreen customer since before they started expanding across Orange County. I usually prefer the Tustin location but was at Fashion Island today and stopped by for lunch. Unlike the Tustin Sweetgreen, this location does not have humans who make your food, but instead you place your order on a tablet and machines behind the counter prepare your bowl for you. I decided to try their new KBBQ plate and placed an online order for pickup ahead of time. The good news is that it was ready in about 7 minutes. The bad news is that when I opened my bowl, over half of it was broccoli and rice, and my protein portion was almost nowhere to be found. Seriously, look at the picture I included - there's no more than 1/4 cup of steak in there and that's no exaggeration. For an extra $6-$7 for steak, and $20 for my plate in total, I should have way more than 2oz on my plate! While machines make your food here, there are people who are still working there prepping the ingredients, so I showed them my bowl and one of the girls was considerate enough to get me another serving of steak. But I think if they just had actual people making the bowls in the first place, this wouldn't happen and there wouldn't be the need for quality control of the machines. They say AI/ robots/ machines are going to start taking jobs and if this is their trial run, it backfired and is a prime example of why we need to keep actual people employed and not automate everything. Can't say I'll be back to this location any time soon. read more

I had never been to Sweetgreen before but saw it advertised in a fitness blog so I was at Fashion Island today and decided to try it out in the spirit of being healthy. The interesting thing about Sweetgreen is pretty much everything is automated! You walk in and place your order at a kiosk and then a machine conveyer belt of ingredients makes your bowl for you! Then the only real live person is the person that picks it up, adds your dressings then hands you the bowl. So interesting! Like most of these health food places, Sweetgreen is only as healthy as you order. They have a variety of pre-set bowls, or you can do what I did and make a custom bowl yourself. You could easily make a 1,000 calorie bowl but I tried to keep mine around 500 calories to be healthier. For first impression I liked my bowl. The biggest surprise was the herb roasted chicken came out looking shredded almost like how crab for crabcakes looks, but when I ate it, it was actually delicious (and for sure tasted like chicken!). I liked the herb roasting flavoring. My other favorite toppings were the spicy broccoli (not really spicy at all), warm portobello mix and the warm roasted sweet potatoes. The goat cheese was ok but be warned it's not crumbles, the scoop it in a little scoop like an ice cream scoop. Overall, my bowl was over $20 and I thought it was definitely not worth that. Everything was good here but the experience was lackluster for the price. I can make my healthy food at home and instead eat out at more exciting & flavorful places. read more

Shroomami bowl 10/10 and never misses. I like this location because for one it's really nice and they have the easiness of kiosks to choose from. There's outdoor seating which they don't clean office but my salad came out pretty quickly. I always get the same thing. They have a station where you can grab a to-go back & utensils on your way out. It's pretty clean. read more

I love the ease of order from this Sweetgreen location. You can either order through the app or via their kiosk. The salads are made relatively fast as well. Staff are friendly. There is seating indoor and outdoor. The floor plan is open and spacious, with plenty of light. My go-to is the buffalo chicken salad. It is really easy to customize the salads too, which I prefer compare to ordering salads from other restaurants that make it challenging to remove certain ingredients due to allergies or food sensitivities. read more

I got the Shroomami protein plate which was great! It was a tofu bowl with a miso dressing. I also ordered the new air fried potato fries. They were so good and fresh tasting. I can't wait to come back here again! read more

Very surprised that the ratings are this low. This has become my go to lunch. I work in fashion Island, and mostly bring in my lunch to work. But this is my number one choice when I have to buy my lunch out. Delicious! The food feels very clean and healthy. I feel very satisfied after lunch. Very reasonably priced for the quality and again I feel like I'm eating healthy. read more

I'm so happy a sweetgreen location opened up at Fashion Island because I definitely can order from here more frequently now. I like to order custom bowls, however I have tried the ones straight from their menu as well including the Chicken Avocado Ranch bowl and the Buffalo Chicken bowl. I honestly was not a big fan of these ones. Particularly, I thought the Buffalo Chicken bowl did not have a good balance of flavors as it was overall more on the sour/tangy side and overpowered the other flavors. I also usually love cilantro, but it does not belong in this bowl. And so I stick with ordering custom bowls. I have tried a couple that I enjoy and they certainly keep me coming back: - bowl 1: chopped romaine, white rice, blackened chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled onions, apples, crispy onions, spicy cashew dressing, and miso sesame ginger dressing *** the spicy cashew dressing and miso sesame ginger dressing combo is elite and my all-time favorite*** - bowl 2: Miso Glazed Salmon bowl with spring mix, wild rice, roasted sweet potatoes, avocado, shredded cabbage, pickled onions, cucumbers, green goddess ranch and spicy cashew dressing I usually order online and will pick up here. They finish my order pretty quickly and I don't have to wait for a long time during lunch hour. There are tables inside, but they tend to be full so I will sit outside. The biggest drawback though to being located in Fashion Island is definitely the portion size. I am hardly ever full after eating here and I am paying a lot for my bowls as well. The portions are definitely smaller compared to other locations. You don't get much value here, but I still return because the location is convenient for me and I still like the food. read more

The newest location at Fashion Island. The manager Tammy told me about this when I was at the HB location for the Yelp event, and so glad she did! There is a $5 off Promo Code for new app users. Just know that you have to complete your account first, with added payment option, before that discount will show up. All of the meat here is high quality and delicious! I have now tasted their chicken, salmon, and the garlic steak. My favorite is the steak, but all the meats are perfectly seasoned. The wild rice is so good too, and all of their sauces are super flavorful. They also have great drink options. I will have to get one of their organic Krispy rice treat desserts next time. It's got quinoa and is naturally sweetened. So curious what that tastes like. read more

Pretty neat healthy concept, however if humans were making the bowls it would be portioned properly. Unpaid $20 for a bowl that only had a tablespoon of rice and a tablespoon of chicken on top of a lot of greens. There's humans working there also who hand you the machine made order. They were helpful and friendly. Might give them another try. Place was clean ambiance was ok. read more

"We can't get the chicken out or make you another one you will have to call corporate". This is the 3rd time i've ordered a salad and they gave it to me without chicken. Usually I just walk out and haven't checked only to find it missing when I get back to the office. This time I did. They refused to put chicken on it (even though I had clearly paid for it and there was no chicken). They also refused to refund anything. This has also happened to others in the office and word is getting out. Done with this place and of this has happened to you then "call corporate" because they clearly don't give a crap. read more

Great service, fast salads, great taste for salads that don't break the daily calorie bank.

New favorite place to eat healthy and delicious food! The bowls are massive- big enough for two meals. Every ingredient was fresh and the sauces were incredible. I had the pesto and cilantro lime vinaigrette. The caramelized garlic steak and blackened chicken were cooked and seasoned to perfection. When I came in to pick up my order, all the employees smiled and said "hi, welcome!" It's the small things that make the biggest difference. The facility was clean and well maintained. I will certainly be back for another bowl soon. So happy to have a Sweetgreen at Fashion Island! read more

Had an awesome experience at the Sweetgreen in Newport. The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and filling. The Infinite Kitchen robot making the bowl was really cool to watch. The lady at the front was also very nice and friendly, great customer service. Fast, clean, and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

Love the concept of Sweetgreen, and that they support local farmers. That being said the portions are small for the price. If the quality was there, maybe it would be more justified. I got the salmon bowl 19$ . The salmon was so dried out and had a terrible taste. The rice it was dry and chewy. My friend got the steak bowl and It was tiny burnt pieces of meat most of the bowl was just mixed greens for 20$. Not sure it's any quality check of the food. Very little staff working and they seem to just go through the motions. Mendocino farms next door is way better. read more

I wish I could rate this higher. The food is very high quality and I love that they do not use seed oils! I have had the steak and salmon, and both are great. Price wise, it is a little steep considering they have very few employees and much of the bowl is prepared by machine. You'd think that would allow them to lower prices, but I guess the quality justifies the price. My issue is that all three times I have been here, multiple people in my group have experienced significant delays waiting for their food. Wait times can be well over 20 minutes, when the kiosk estimates 3-5 minutes. This may be an issue that will be ironed out with time, but they should be adequately prepared with the amount of food needed to serve the lunch crowd. read more

Don't go!!! We always go to Sweetgreen in our town but this location has no service. You order on a computer screen and then your name is called. The automated ordering system changed our order without our request. We didn't realize this until we had left and started eating. Had a human taken our order and made our bowls in-front of us, of like other locations all of this would have been avoided. Such a waste of money and time. read more

Healthy. Love that you get to choose ingredients. You can choose their designed salads or do a personalized make your own.

I thought it was really solid (got the goddess bowl), but my husband thought it was just ok and his chicken bowl looked nothing like the picture. Not going to be a repeat spot unfortunately. read more

Went 9/24/2025 and my chicken was raw/ undercooked. I'm not really sure what else to say about it

Food is the only thing giving it a 2, because it wasn't horrible. One the other hand, service absolutely horrible. None of the people will even acknowledge or make eye contact to you. I walked in for my order and walk up to the front ordering area and try to get the people attention. None of them even acknowledge or even make eye contact or ask what I want. Except when the girl would side eye, to see if I was still there when she was going to grab the bowl. 10 minutes go by before she slowly walks up, and asks "what do you need" in an exasperated tone, without making eye contact. I tell her my order and she says we are waiting in one thing, but in reality she just needed to walk back and grab the thing. She then slowly walks back and forth and then gives the food. I'll never waste my time here again, the price point is pretty outrageously high for having an automated machine make the food. Don't recommend. read more

No idea how this place isn't five stars! I'm a huge SweetGreen fan, but this location is the very best. The machine makes your bowl FAST without any errors and perfectly portioned every single time. I've ordered a ton of bowls here and they are all fresh, delicious, healthy with a million ways to customize to your taste. It's such a great fast option at this mall and I've only had good experiences with the friendly staff! Try the new air fried French fries...the pickled ketchup is amazing. read more
