I stopped in for the first time and decided to go with the Cobb Chop Salad. It was okay but I'd probably try something different next time. I was surprised how little chicken was in the salad for the price. I will give it another try, but will probably choose something different. read more

My favorite place to get a delicious salad! I'm in love with the Asian salad so full of flavor, great portions. Clean and organized location. Service is excellent, Axel is one of a kind super friendly so welcoming, always has a positive attitude. Highly recommend! read more

Chop Stop - Asian chicken salad - Salad Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

Love the salmon chop. Have ordered it a few times now. My go to when I am in the area.

I'm so disappointed. The first 5 times I came here it was the best salad ever! So fresh and the lettuce was crispy and everything tasted amazing. Now the last two times the lettuce is wilted and not chopped the same and not even cold. Such a bummer. I don't think I'll be going back read more

Ordered from Door Dash. Both salads looked and tasted like they were made a couple days ago, not made fresh. They were soggy and gross. We threw them away. A waste of $30. This is the second time I've tried this place. Won't go back. read more

Chop Stop - Nasty soggy lettuce. Worse than a packaged grocery store salad. - Salad Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

I've been here twice, and both visits have left a lot to be desired. The first time I went, I ordered online, and then waited for 15 minutes after they said my order would be ready, while it sat on the counter because they couldn't find it. When they finally found it and gave it to me, my salad was room temperature and wilted, and I ended up throwing it out. I decided to give them a second chance, as it was a new business, and maybe they were just ironing out the kinks, but I had a similar experience the second time. I showed up to pick up my order, and even though there was only one other customer there, I had to wait, because the employees were too busy chatting behind the counter. Finally got my order, and it was prepared incorrectly. It's such a bummer, because a salad place is such a nice break from other quick service restaurants, and I really wanted to love it. read more

My daughter is limited on what she can eat so she created her own salad and it was delicious! they have many items to choose from so she was so happy to create just what she wanted. I had the Santa Fe chop and it was amazing as well! The flavors melded perfectly and everything was fresh and the dressing was light and tasty. The people that work there are so kind and friendly as well. I ordered my salad to be split in half so I could take half home with me. The kitchen made the whole salad by accident so they made me another half salad to take home. I will definitely be back to this wonderful restaurant that offers such healthy delicious food and great customer service. read more

Chop Stop - Santa Fe Chop - Salad Near Me - Aliso Viejo, California

When you see ratings like this, typically you think they're paid for. This isn't true. Chop Stop is clean, everyone is friendly, it's laid out extremely well, it's COVID-safe, the food is ridiculously fresh, and it's healthy. There is a downside - it takes FOREVER to decide what you want. They don't have anything to write down orders on, so you stand there and hem and haw and uhhhhhh and hmmmmm and it wastes time. That hurts their business, so they'll eventually figure it out and fix it. Can't say enough great things about them - they're amazing. I personally like the burrito style rather than the salad, but both are good. read more

This place is exactly what Town Center was missing! The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. The employees are all cheerful and helpful. The owners are kind and amazing. I will miss my buddy David who was just training! My whole Family is obsessed with this place! read more

This is my new favorite lunch place! The ingredients are so fresh and delicious. Every time we go to Aliso Viejo we plan to eat at Chop Stop. My kids beg for Chop Stop - which is so unusual for them since they usually avoid veggies at all costs. The portions are huge and the salad tastes amazing! Definitely recommend read more

Finely chopped salad with a laundry list of ingredients to choose from? "My oh my" says this avid Yelper. I decided to go CUSTOM on my first sniff of this place. I played the rewind button and went back to my memory bank of ingredients I liked when visiting the old Soup Plantation (now extinct in our hood). I chose the following: Romaine/kale; roasted corn; cucumber; avocado; celery; hard boiled egg; tuna salad; pepper jack; cilantro lime dressing RESULT = pure deliciousness and quite healthy I gradually added the dressing so as to not over-saturate it and that worked perfectly. I asked for extra (2 little to-go containers) and that was the perfect amount. I wasn't sure the kale/romaine combo would fly but the fact that these are finely chopped meant it was "all good in the neighborhood". The salad size is very nice for a dinner portion. The to-go container is nice and DEEP so you will not experience that BS at other restaurants where 1/4 of your salad ends up on the floor while you mix it up. Also, it appears to be already mixed for you anyway. My dad said the staff are friendly and polite. He had the ASIAN CHOP which he said was seriously tasty and he hammered it. AV was overdue for a place like this. Keep up the good work... read more

Soooooo good. Had it for the first time on Saturday....went back for more on Sunday! Pros: - so many toppings! - easy to use app - it's delicious, fresh, and Chopped (why is salad so much tastier when chopped up...) - it was reasonably priced (same as anywhere else) - the salad is huge! Like...it's a lot of salad! Cons: - I went to the new one in Aliso, but there are not a lot of locations...wish there was one by work! Tips: - I like the half quinoa/half house mix for the base. - the bbq chicken was really good - the regular chicken was good, didn't compete with the lemon vinaigrette - if you see a salad that looks close to what you want, if you are on the app, you can choose it and then customize whatever you don't like by swapping it for something else. read more

Good was prepared very well and tasted great, even packaged for takeout Wish it was closer, we'd go all the time read more

Really great stuff. Super fresh, tasty, great prices and amazing staff! Will definitely be back! Try the BBQ Chop with the Chipotle Dressing, it's really really good read more

Wanted to try something new and healthy. Ordered a make your own salad which was decent, pretty overpriced considering the raw ingredients. Also had the caesar "chopanini" which was not very good. Very saucy and the lettuce got pretty gross being that it was warmed under the panini press. I guess we should've thought of that.. oh well. Overall it's a "eh" salad place. Would shy away from the chopanini unless you like cooked down romain and salad dressing soup packed into a tortilla. read more

Excellent salads! Very refreshing. Friendly staff. Very clean and safe. I had the a roasted garlic salad which was fantastic with a delicious coconut water! read more

I can not say enough on how amazing this place is. I was starting to think the town center was loosing its appeal. Every bite you get a combination of everything and you never want to stop eating it. I might need to get a job here since I keep spending my money on yummy and delicious salads. Also you can't beat the customer service. All staff take the time to explain the process and to make sure your satisfied read more

I normally don't do salads, but I'm trying to eat healthier so I figured I would give it a try. The salad was so good. I did the Santa Fe and it tasted extremely fresh and surprisingly filling. On top of the great food, the staff was very friendly and patient, answering all my questions. Highly recommend trying this place out. I know I will be back soon! read more

Found through DoorDash searching for salads and decided on the quinoa/spinach base combo with beets, carrots, edamame, tofu, sunflower seeds, and croutons. I had set my expectations low, as it was just a salad and I was just trying to get a healthy meal. But Wow, I was impressed ! Not only were all the ingredients perfectly cut and mixed, but it was all so densely packed, I seriosuly feel like this salad can last me two days. I barely made a dent in it and feel full. It does remind me of the good old days of Souplantation, but without leaving feeling like you just ate three days' worth of food. Well-priced too-- will return to try more from their very diverse menu. Yay for roughage and nutrients! read more

First time here & we will be back! Salads are fresh & delicious with great portions. Lots of options & ability to customize your salad. I tried the Asian Chop & it was so good! Love the dressing & it's a great combination! I exchanged salmon for chicken & added mushrooms & avacado. Highly recommend! They were out of soft pretzels sure to a manufacturer delay, so we're coming back to try those as well because I love soft pretzels! Great addition to the towncenter! read more

Found my new favorite place!! I have been missing the salads from Soup Plantation since they closed down. Chop Stop took my love for salads to a whole new level with their Chop concept.

Fresh and healthy ingredients. I love the bbq chicken and asian chop wraps. All salads great also.

I have been wanting to try Chop Stop for several months and finally went there today. I was SO impressed with the friendly cashier, who explained the process of ordering my salad. I ended up creating my own salad and it was delicious!! I had spinach and kale as the base and salmon with lots of other veggies added to it. It was tossed with their lemon vinaigrette dressing and was absolutely delicious. This will definitely be a regular lunch spot for me. read more
