The salad were plentiful and fresh but the dressings were mediocre. I had the southwest chop which was supposed to have a cilantro lime dressing but really was just an overly vinegar-y vinagrette, and my husband had the Asian salad and the dressing was supposed to be sesame teriyaki but was very very fishy. He threw most of it away. Not as good as expected based on other reviews we read before choosing this specialty salad lunch spot. read more

Chop Stop is a chain that has a ton of different salad options. The menu is definitely overwhelming if you decide to add your own toppings, but they do have some salad options where you don't need to "build-your-own." My favorite is the Asian Chop salad. It's sweet, and has lots of fun mix-ins such as chicken, edamame, and little crunchy crackers! The Caesar is also pretty good. I wouldn't recommend any salad with sunflower seeds though, since I made that mistake once and my entire bowl was basically a sunflower seed (waaaay too many). The portions are surprisingly large (I can never finish a bowl) and the service is always good. read more

I had a Cobb Salad here today. It was a good portion and every ingredient was super fresh. Great customer service with friendly people. Lots of options on the menu including build your own salad! read more

Excuse me but customer service? AMAZING! The gentleman (Axel ) at the front was just absolutely one of the kindest and most patient cashier salad prepper! Being pregnant I don't always know what I want to eat. There was no rushing me or making me feel uncomfortable because I took a second too long to decide. I understand it's a salad but sometimes the cravings need to hit the spot or it ain't it. Between his great service and allowing me to taste dressings for my salad lol it definitely deserves 5 stars. read more

Great salad! Fresh, good portions, chopped well. Delicious dressings. Highly recommend!

I got the wrap. Loves the crunchy the wrap had. But a warm salad not great. I'll probably just do a salad next time.

I have ordered from this place twice via Doordash and it arrives so fresh and perfect I am shocked. (from Aliso Viejo to Irvine) The options are great and I am happy I have finally found a good BYO salad place that can consistently deliver quality. read more

I'm glad there's a place offering a good variety of salads near me now. You can build your own salad, or select from a menu. The first time I went, I chose the build your own salad with half romaine lettuce/half organic quinoa, cucumbers, crispy onions, feta cheese, and salmon (additional charge). The second time, I ordered the Keto Chop from the menu (romaine lettuce, green olives, shaved parmesan, chicken, almonds, and bell peppers). I ordered the ranch dressing on the side. I enjoyed both salads, finding the ingredients to be fresh and the size to be more than good enough for a meal. I also really like their ranch dressing. The employees here are nice and I'm looking forward to going here more. read more

The salads are amazing and filling. My husband and I always eat here when we don't want to do something too heavy, and trying to be healthy. The best part of the place are the people. The couple who run the store are always working and with a smile on their face. Not only is it great salads and many options, but I will always support a good family business. read more

First time ordering from this location, but I've tried Chop Stop before at their Rancho Cuc location. If you're craving a good salad, this place is a great option. I feel as if there aren't many eateries dedicated to salads as a main entrée, so I am grateful for their existence. They give you a sufficient amount of salad, so you're full even before finishing the entire bowl! Good options, fair variety. They have chips to eat on the side too if you'd like. They also make the salad on the spot. The ingredients in my salad were all fresh too. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I have been using their app twice a month to order delicious salads from Chop Shop in Aliso for several years. The staff was always friendly and efficient until Axel started working there. Axel is disorganized and condescending and acts as if he doesn't enjoy his job and would rather be somewhere else. I will continue to support the business because their product is outstanding; however, I'll be placing my orders through DoorDash from now on. read more

I'm not a salad guy but this was delicious. Filling, refreshing and fun all at the same time. Never thought I would say this about a chop salad. Maybe it's because they wait for your order and THEN they chop everything fresh. Really good ingredients and so much I couldn't finish the Santa Fe Chop. Thank you for all the good, fresh flavors. read more

I love chopped salads and this business had enough selections to choose from. Ordered on the phone and within 15 minutes my to-go lunch was ready. My Chop Salad was huge and I ate it all! The staff were friendly, which is always a must, and there are tables outside to eat. I don't often spend $17+ on a salad but prices have gone up everywhere. If you're wanting a fresh salad with lots of ingredients, I do recommend this business. read more

What a gem of an owner! Not only was she super sweet and helpful to me as a customer, going as far as not charging me for an extra ingredient, what really stood out to me was how patient and polite she was to the workers. The awesome customer service aside, the salad was super fresh and delicious too! And the pretzel was yummy! I'll definitely be back! read more

Wife and I tried the Greek salad and the Asian salad. Both were tasty, the store was clean, and staff friendly. I would have liked more chicken in my salad but overall it was a good meal. read more

First time to visit Chop Stop was pleasantly surprised at the menu and all the choices of salads that you could have. Additionally, I liked the fact that they had premade salads menu and make your own salad menu.. Everything was very fresh and the personnel serving were very friendly. I would recommend chop stop to anybody. read more

Shoutout to Susan for 5-star customer service. I made sure to leave a tip. First time here -- had the Santa Fe Chop. Salad was tasty and overall, a decent meal. Only thing stopping it from being 5 stars is the lack of chicken. Think they need to up the protein on a standard order or at least lower the price on 2x chicken. Salads are great but its a little crazy to pay so much for lettuce, minor toppings, and 100 calories of chicken (according to their website) which is about 2oz. I casually track my macros so I was curious and checked. I will be back but 2x the chicken next time. Would be back more often if the pricing was more attractive. Start a rewards program at least! read more

They have such fresh ingredients! And the manager is so kind! Actually all of the staff seems great. Welcome to Aliso Viejo Chop Shop! We are so glad to have you! read more

I really love this salad place I have been coming here since it opened and honestly nothing beats it. I will have to say my only complaint is that they changed their beets! They used to be super fresh and soft and my favorite part of the salad. For some reason they are now extremely crunchy and hard (same exact texture as a carrot) but they still claim them to be "fresh beets". I order them every time thinking it will go back to the original ones and they aren't. Please check on the beets they aren't fresh and aren't supposed to be crunchy! Still love this place though! read more

For the past two years my family has enjoyed great salads two to three times every month. Fresh ingredients, many choices, friendly, helpful, accommodating service, especially from Axel who runs a first class operation. Great salads and good value. read more

The food is excellent each time I go there, and the service is equally as wonderful! Highly recommend.

Whereas I found the vegetables fresh and the dressings good tasting, which is a Big Deal, they failed on the most basic aspect of basic salad making - they shred the lettuce. They shred it like the lettuce you get on a taco. That's not how a salad is made. They need to chop the lettuce. Like the name says. As anyone who prepares salads would or should know, properly chopped lettuce allows for the even distribution of the dressing, as well as the other ingredients in the salad, the proper coating of the lettuce in the dressing. When you use shredded lettuce you get a mealy mouth feel, and a clumping together of ingredients. Shredded lettuce exposes too much surface area of the leaf, the results of which is not tasting the quality and balance and all the great effort of what should be a well made salad. You are tasting primarily the lettuce. A lettuce forward taste if you will. I suspect they shred the lettuce to save time, or perhaps it is a fashion choice, either way it's a failing. If you are going to be a salad shop, be a salad shop and pay attention to proper prep. Chop. And do note that a shredded romaine Caesar salad is an atrocity indeed. Regardless I think this place is great with room for improvement. It is a good and healthy meal option, and I will try other salads in the future. I just hope they learn basic, time honored prep in the future. Cheers! read more

Great location near my office in Aliso Viejo. The owner was knowledgeable and kind and helpful with a big order I placed. Glad I also ordered a chopped salad to eat today as the Tuna chopped salad is fantastic. Healthy and delicious. I recommend their salads. read more

We need more places like this! Service when ordering was very helpful and attentive. Our salads were all fresh and SO many options!

I have to say. As frustrated as I was trying to place an order online thru the website and thru Yelp, Susan had the patience of a saint. I called back multiple times and even got short with her, and hung up the phone in frustration bc I was having trouble ordering. But Susan kept her composure, never lost her cool, and was so friendly she really turned the situation around for me! Talk about being "customer obsessed! She even got super proactive and immediate started looking into and finding a solution for the issues around ordering I expressed to her....positive attitude and taking action!!! The food was wonderful too! I'll be coming again!!! Awesome experience!!! read more

Not bad at all, maybe better in person but still hits the spot. Can be a little soggy since the salad is chopped up so small but flavor is never lacking. So many options and the dressings are always fresh. read more
