    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Zabrina W.

    I love goop kitchen because the food tastes fresh and healthy. When you enter you can order and pay using the kiosk which makes things easy. I decided on the Caesar chicken wrap it was fairly good and I would possibly order it again. This location is a spot to pick up and go as there is no room for dining inside. Staff was friendly and I will definitely be back when in the area.

    Teriyaki Bowl
    Youlanda W.

    This food was horrible except for the teriyaki sauce. The chicken was HARD AS WOOD! Rice was too soft. I'm good, I will not order from them again. I'm sure she will not lose anything, since she makes 20 million a year. But for those who don't make even close that, SAVE YOUR MONEY.

    Burned Japanese sweet potato!
    Christen H.

    I was in the mood for goop and decided to order the Japanese Sweet potatoes, and the teriyaki chicken bowl, with extra thighs. Before leaving, I wanted to check the bag and saw this. This is my second time at this location but they do a terrible job at cooking, compared to the other locations. The cashier asjed foolish questions like "do you want a bag?" And "how many will this be for so we can make sure your order is completely right." I dont want sarcasm with my order. I would say this is the worst goop location.

    So, so good. This place was at the top of my list when visiting the LA area -- a popular place for takeout and delivery among influencers. I heard you must get the summer spring rolls, and I concur... they are FABULOUS. Flavor is top tier. I also tried the Caesar salad and enjoyed it. I ordered the ranch dressing too and loved it. I would order this all the time if I was in the area.

    I've passed by here many times while going to eat at other places but never here until recently! The goop Kitchen is located at The Works in El Segundo. There's free street parking in this area. There are a lot of mixed businesses here. Thanks to Instagram, I saw this fun tote bag key chain and wanted one! The catch? It only came with a turkey burger! Well, I still wanted that tiny bag and so I ordered the burger hoping it would be worth it! Generally, I am not a fan of turkey burgers, but this one has altered my opinion about them! I would definitely grab another one from goop Kitchen in a heartbeat! This was the most succulent (as in so much juice dripping down) and satisfyingly delicious! Everything in it including the bun made this so hearty while being healthy for you. BTW, the hamburger bun was gluten-free and I didn't even notice it was! The burger came with rosemary-sea salt potato chips. The chips were superb, too! The food is packaged with care. I was concerned that my little canvas tote bag key chain would get soiled by the food. Thank goodness it didn't! Also, I was surprised with the packaged hand wipe that was included! It was definitely a welcomed necessity after eating the messy burger! In order to get this burger (which included the tote bag key chain), you had to order it online by reserving your burger pick-up date & time and paying for it ahead of time. It was only running until Aug. 31, 2025 and only at this location. It's no longer available. If you missed out or are craving another one, you can make your own using the recipe provided at goop.com. The turkey patty consists of ground turkey breast, avocado oil, crimini mushrooms, shallot, zucchini, Kosher salt & black pepper to taste. And then to dress the burger, they include avocado oil mayonnaise, gem lettuce leaves, tomato, red onion, pickle slices, and hamburger bun. When you come in, there's a kiosk to place your order. You can always order online for pickup or delivery. The only drawback of goop Kitchen is that there's no seating inside. You can take your food outside and hope you can find a place to eat. I shared a picnic table with a stranger, so that worked out. If you're looking for a healthy option, this is a good place to grab food! There are other items I'd love to try! It was nice to have an incentive to come give this place a chance for the first time!

    The Goopfellas Pizza
    Jynelle Christine S.

    Honestly really good! At first I had doubts thinking it was just another over hyped tiktok trend but the pizza was actually so good. It was definitely the first time I didn't feel super greasy after eating a ton of pizza so would definitely be coming back! The chicken Caesar was alright according to my boyfriend so overall we think skip the wrap and just get more pizza !! Note: lots of parking but not much seating aside from a table outside

    I'm obsessed with goop kitchen and get it almost every day when I'm in LA (seriously). My personal favorites are the Teriyaki Bowl (with chicken breast, extra meat), Pepperoni Potts Pizza, and the Chinese Chicken Salad. The food is clean, nutritious, healthy, and most importantly of all, DELICIOUS. I would crave it even if it wasn't healthy. The only thing I didn't love was the rotisserie chicken, which was a bit bland for my liking, but I know it's one of GP's personal favorites. I was lucky enough to try their new turkey burger a few days ago, and it's definitely making my favorites list. It's not greasy at all (a bit juicy/runny but not greasy), the bun is grilled on the inside giving it a bit of a crunch, and the burger is cooked to perfection. I loved that this location of goop kitchen has tables outside where you can sit and eat, as I'm not sure how well the burger would travel. I normally order pickup or delivery via their website directly (they have a loyalty program, lower pricing than third party platforms, and deliver is only $3.99) but if I lived closer to this location I would definitely eat here since they have seating. People were even walking up and ordering food "fast casual" style, which makes this location a bit different than their other ghost kitchens. From what I can tell, quality is consistent across locations, as I've tried Silverlake, Beverly Hills and now El Segundo.

    Soup Summertime Tomato Gazpacho and Salad
    Olivia P.

    I got the goop for one! I think this is a really great deal because you get two sides and a main for $20. I got the salmon, which was cooked well and had no bones. Tasted great with the garlic sauce! Stracciatella with squash and tomatoes: 11/10 Honestly bummer that this is seasonal. It's so good!! Mac and cheese: 7/10 It's a little goopy. The cheese flavoring is a bit weird and their pasta was a bit too hard. There is something in this aside from cheese and noodles that is adding a flavor that's not quite right. Although they made up for it, they need to get their allergens in order.

    Self serve ordering

    The food is super yummy. The teriyaki bowls are my favorite. The service is pretty past. There is no dine in. Just pickup.

    The Best Arugula Salad
    Debbie L.

    I love The Best Arugula Salad here and this is my go to for takeout whenever I'm in need of detoxing and eating something a little lighter but still very delicious. The portions are quite generous and unlike other competitors, Goop always uses consistent to go packaging so the salad is always the same portion each time as opposed to tiny containers. I'm very judgy about to go meal portions being consistent and always filling and this is always spot on! The salad is packed with flavor while being an excellent healthy option. Highly recommend Goop Kitchen if you're looking for fresh ingredients and a healthier option yet still satisfying in terms of portions.

    Burger box
    Kelly S.

    Healthy and affordable. One of my absolute favorite places in the South Bay and I go at least once a week ! I often order online and it is always ready on time when I go to pick it up. The staff are super friendly and kind. I LOVE THE BURGER !! I hope they make it a permanent menu item. The cauliflower is also a staple in our household!

    tiny af wrap tf

    Why tf is a wrap $20 and it's this big???? absolutely ridiculous Isn't Gwenyth Paltrow a millionaire and sent her kids to the most expensive private schools in the country and yet she can't make a $20 wrap a reasonable size? (I get that she's probably not actually that involved, but I only got this because people were raving about it on social media and it don't look nearly as big as it did online.) my fault, next time i'd rather save my $20 in this economy.

    The first thing I noticed about Manhattan Beach Post was the plants. Not because there were a few…read moreplants. Lots of restaurants have a few plants. These plants appeared to have union representation. They're everywhere. Hanging from things. Growing out of things. Quietly observing your meal. The whole place feels like someone built a really nice restaurant and then let nature move in as a long term tenant. The room hums. Not loudly. Not aggressively. Just enough. Glasses clink. People lean into conversations. Servers weave through the room carrying plates that look heavy enough to alter their center of gravity. Nobody seems rushed. Everybody seems busy. It's a difficult balance. The biscuits arrived first. Now, I'd heard about the biscuits. People talk about these biscuits the way fishermen talk about the one that got away. Slightly dramatic. A little emotional. Hard to verify. Turns out the stories were true. Warm bacon cheddar biscuits with maple butter. I took one bite and immediately understood why people order a second round. The outside has just enough structure to remind you it's baked. The inside is soft enough to make you wonder whether butter has secretly become a building material. We ordered another. Not because we needed another. Because apparently that's what happens here. The creamy polenta showed up next and felt like the culinary equivalent of a weighted blanket. Comforting. Smooth. Relaxed. The sort of dish that encourages you to slow down and stop checking your phone. The duck was one of my favorites. Lightly fried with crisp skin and tender meat, resting on white Italian beans and rosemary. It felt like something a French chef would cook after spending a weekend in the countryside and becoming briefly inspired by fresh air. At some point you stop evaluating food and simply nod in agreement with it. This was one of those moments. Dessert was equally dangerous. The olive oil cake arrived with strawberries and disappeared much faster than logic suggested it should. The cheesecake somehow managed to be rich and light at the same time, which feels like it should violate a law of physics somewhere. Service deserves its own mention. The whole team operates like a group project where everyone actually did their part. Plates appeared when they should. Water glasses mysteriously refilled themselves. Questions were answered without anyone making you feel like you should already know the answer. The chef's French influence shows up everywhere, but not in a showy way. Nothing feels complicated for the sake of being complicated. Everything feels like somebody spent a lot of time thinking about it so you wouldn't have to. By the end of the meal, I realized Manhattan Beach Post had done something difficult. It felt special without feeling serious. You can dress up. You can come casually. You can celebrate something important or absolutely nothing at all. Just order the biscuits. The plants already know you're going to.

    Good experience at this restaurant in Manhattan beach. Modern take on Southern and general American…read morecuisine. Food was great, but not mind-blowing in my opinion. Some dishes could've been executed better. Going down the list of dishes I had here: - Bacon Cheddar Buttermilk Biscuits: These were more like scones rather than biscuits. Crunchy with good bacon and cheddar flavor. - Japanese Hamachi Crudo: Unique and I liked the citrusy flavor and creamy texture. However, 3 small slices of fish for $26 was overpriced. - Leafy Greens & Radicchio: Solid and crispy salad with a nice tangy dressing. The cheese also added a lot of sharp flavor which was nice. - Skirt Steak: Good flavor and char, but a bit tough. Also some dry pieces. - Chilean Sea Bass: Lemon orzo risotto was creamy and delicious. The sea bass itself was okay, nothing special. It felt overpowered by the risotto. The fish was moist and flaky though. - 20 Oz Prime Beef Ribeye: Quality was subpar relative to price. Portion size was solid by the steak itself was inconsistent. Some of the pieces were rarer while others were more well-done even though we asked for medium rare. There were also some dry pieces which I did not like. Flavor was good though. - Strawberry and Olive Oil Cake: Was confused since there was just a thin layer of cake, but realized the title also referred to the mousse. I would title it 'Strawberry Mousse with Olive Oil Cake" to make it less confusing. Regardless, this was a delicious dessert! Love the fruity strawberry and savory pistachio flavors as well as the smooth textures. - S'mores sundae: Got this on the house for my aunt's birthday. A generous portion but the components were a bit too sweet for my liking. I visited this restaurant for a birthday that I organized and my experience was overall good. Reservation was made easy using OpenTable and I could also mention it was for a birthday occasion. The ambiance was gorgeous with good mood lighting. Good for group and 1 on 1 dining. Parking is metered or street parking. Overall, I probably wouldn't come out of my way to dine here again, but my experience wasn't bad just not significant enough to put in my rotation. Would come back if someone treated me here though.

    Customer Service Incident- 5-19-26 Check # 72 Table 31…read more This report outlines concerns regarding a recent dining experience at Tin Roof Bistro (TRB) in Manhattan Beach. While prior visits to the restaurant have consistently met high standards of quality and service, several service and billing issues during the most recent visit resulted in dissatisfaction and concern regarding the accuracy of the final bill and tip calculation. Following a lengthy day of medical appointments and a 90-minute drive from UCLA during rush hour traffic, my wife and I decided to dine at Tin Roof Bistro rather than return home to prepare a meal. Based on previous positive experiences, we expected the same level of quality and service historically associated with the establishment. Upon arrival, we were seated promptly and initially received courteous service from our waiter, Brandon. However, several issues arose throughout the course of the meal: We ordered two glasses of wine shortly after being seated. Despite the simplicity of the order, the beverages were not delivered in a timely manner. Our order included: * A Caesar salad to share * Bread service * Two entrées After an extended wait period, I reminded the waiter that the Caesar salad had not yet been served. The salad was then delivered promptly following the reminder. At the time the salad arrived, I specifically requested that the entrées not be brought out until we had finished the salad course. Despite this request, the entrées were delivered within minutes, before we had consumed more than a few bites of the salad. We asked staff to remove the entrées temporarily until we completed the appetizer course. The entrées were eventually re-served and were of good quality. Billing and Point-of-Sale Concerns The primary concern arose during the payment process. The electronic payment screen initially appeared accurate with respect to the total amount due. Based on the displayed total, I elected to leave a 20% gratuity despite the service shortcomings experienced during the meal. After requesting a printed receipt, I discovered the following: * The entrées had been entered twice on the bill. * A corresponding credit had been applied to offset the duplicate charge. * The gratuity calculation, however, appeared to be based on the inflated subtotal before the duplicate entrée credit was applied. This duplicate entry increased the apparent bill total by approximately 54%, which in turn increased the calculated tip amount accordingly. Due to fatigue at the time, I chose not to pursue the matter with management during the visit. However, I also observed a nearby table returning an order, which raises concern that similar billing or service issues may have affected other customers. Concerns and Recommendations Given the increasing public discussion surrounding questionable tipping and point-of-sale practices, this experience raises concerns regarding whether: 1. The issue resulted from an employee action, or 2. The POS system is improperly calculating gratuity suggestions based on inaccurate pre-adjustment totals. While I cannot determine whether this incident was intentional, I strongly recommend that Tin Roof Bistro review its POS system configuration and billing procedures to ensure gratuity calculations are based solely on the actual final total owed by the customer. Additionally, improved coordination between kitchen staff and servers regarding course timing would significantly improve the dining experience. This experience was disappointing, particularly because Tin Roof Bistro has historically maintained a high standard of service and consistency. Although the food quality remained good, the service delays and billing irregularities negatively impacted the overall experience. Should I choose to dine at TRB again, I will pay closer attention to the billing and gratuity calculations before completing payment.

    Server Álvaro is an actual SAINT at Saint & Second!…read more I want to start by clarifying that I went to S&S yesterday afternoon ready to cry major boo-hoo tears to my two besties, without much of an appetite. Instead, I ended up with a full belly and side cramps from laughing along with our awesome server, Alvaro. The Man. The Myth. The Legend that he is! Small Backstory: Last Friday I lost my job of almost 25 years in public education due to a complicated work accident (my back was broken & I now have screws in my spine) and I planned to whine to my best friends into a cocktail or two, and get out plenty of Kim Kardashian ugly-cry faces until it would be time to go home. Enter ALVARO! This kind man had the nerve to be polite to us! The nerve! LOL. He greeted us with a warm smile while my cold heart was practically making it snow. He explained all portions of the breathtaking menu when I had planed to eat my sadness. He even had the GALL to say if we wanted something not on the menu that he would see what he could do to make it happen! Here I was, ready to drink Unicorn Tears, and he was cheering me up! WHAT THE??! LOL The three is us started with the MEZZE PLATE. And OH LORD! I think we ate the print off of the plates while trying to get to the last crumb. We polished off a whole extra serving of cucumber slices in the process, by the way, and I'm not embarrassed to say that. The Turkish honey-sweetened labne was such a party in our mouths! Make of that what you will. Each of us got a dinner entre, with mine being the S&S Fish and Chips. I loved that the fillet was not overly battered and the chips had an almost double-Belgium fried taste going on. I couldn't help but swipe several spoons worth of aged-cheddar grits off a friend's seared pork chop plate. Now THOSE were some butter-heaven sent grits! My drink, that kept shooting partially through my nostrils from laughter, was a classic margarita on the rocks. No margaritas were injured/harmed in the process of my belly laughter. At some point towards the end of our night, a patron of the mall next door pulled the site-wide fire alarm, ringing through the whole location for everyone to use caution and head to the closest exit. If you grew up like my friends and I, you don't follow that suggestion unless you're trying to run out on the bill like a jerk. Bless be to Alvaro, he stopped by our table several times to apologize about the noise and flashing lights and explained the fire department was working on it. I explained that the Hood Cricket sound didn't bother us and we were happy to wait out the alarm. So not only did Alvaro provide us with excellent service, an outstanding meal, and generous smiles, but he also made sure that we felt SEEN. And THAT is what made the whole evening worth it. No sadness or cringey tears about a lost job were needed. It ends up all we needed was a server named Alvaro at Saint & Second to make my spirits feel high again. Pricing is a bit high but was totally worth it! Patrons were dressed business casual. Sound level, not counting the hood cricket, was mid and conversation was easy to have. Several televisions were playing different stations but no captions were provided. There is handicap parking available in the parking garage located just outside the front door of the establishment and no stairs or elevators are needed to enter. There are several entrances/exits to the available outdoor seating area and outdoor heaters are available. Glances around showed me that every patron I saw was tucking into their plates with smiles and were enjoying themselves. I have already made plans to return to S&S in another two weeks because it was indeed THAT GOOD! And for those fine diners that are wondering, "But what is a Hood Cricket?" An HC is a chirping fire-alarm that some of us are able to tune out with ease. You're welcome!

Our server, Raquel, was lovely and on top of things. I had what I think is the best Mai Tai I've ever had, even while in Hawaii! Just delicious. We enjoyed the fried asparagus and bacon deviled eggs as our appetizer. The buttermilk fried chicken, crispy chicken sandwich and the ribeye melt were really good, but I am STILL thinking about how incredible Cha Cha's Spicy Rigatoni was. So incredibly creamy, and full of flavor, with just the right amount of heat. My daughter orders this every time it's on a menu, and this is by far the best I've ever tasted. SO good. We had mentioned we were celebrating our twins' birthday, and they were served two lovely pieces of chocolate cake with a candle, AND a card for each of them signed by the staff. Never have I experienced that before for a birthday in a restaurant! Just a great touch. I am SO glad my daughter suggested we go here, and every time we're in town we will return. Cannot recommend it enough!!!!

There's a real chew here--a springy, structured bite that gives just enough resistance before yielding. It's deeply satisfying and makes every dish feel more intentional. The cappelloni shows it off best: that almost-famous sauce wraps around each piece, but the pasta holds its own, so you get that perfect balance of silky and structured. Same with the tangiello--the meat sauce tastes like it's been simmering for days, rich and layered, but the noodles never get lost because that chew carries through. The Caesar isn't an afterthought either. It's got a subtle spicy kick that wakes everything up, and if you add chicken, it's done right--well-seasoned, nicely grilled, juicy with a bit of char. It turns a classic into something you actually remember. Dinner is where things go a little heartier, and the pork chop delivers. Fall-off-the-bone tender, but still full of flavor--not just soft for the sake of it. Jame just gets the fundamentals right, then pushes a little further. Thoughtful, textured, and the kind of place where even the chew of the pasta becomes part of the experience.

I was impressed with the clean and modern look of Jane Enoteca from the moment I walked in. Their dishes consist of several handmade pastas, salads and Italian inspired comfort food. My friend and I chose to start our meals with the Meatballs and Brussels Sprouts. Being a Brussels Sprouts fan, I really enjoyed their roasted crispy Brussels sprouts that were tossed in schiaffoni dressing and finished with sesame. Equal in deliciousness were their Meatballs. The Meatballs were tender, rich and saucy. These starters were a great way to kick off our meal here. For our mains, we got their Paccheri Lisci and Tonnarelli. The Paccheri Lisci had a bit of a spicy kick to it. It has spicy pork sausage sugo, fennel, sage and pecorino. It was meaty and flavorful. The Tonnarelli or Cacio e Pepe contrasted nicely with the Paccheri Lisci. This pasta dish was simple, sharp and peppery. This was more bold versus saucy. Last but not least we had some cookies for dessert. I loved the fresh baked snickerdoodle and chocolate chip cookies. It was a sweet and perfect ending to the meal here. Overall, I really enjoyed dining at Jame Enoteca. I am now looking forward to trying out their sister restaurant Jame Taqueria down the street.

The roasted cauliflower was hands down the best part of the meal. It was seasoned so well and honestly addictive. I could not get enough of it. The chicken pot pie came out piping hot and was really good, super comforting and flavorful. My only small wish is that it had pastry on the bottom too, since it would have soaked up all the juices. The burger was fine but nothing special. I think it could have used some lettuce and tomato to help tie everything together. The onion rings were solid. Service was good and it was not too crowded for lunch, which made it a relaxed and enjoyable place to sit and eat.

We ordered the Crab cake, perfectly packed together where it wasn't too dense but gently molded. It was packed with umami and this refreshing citrus after taste..it was so damn good. French fries, were a must crispy tasty fries did not disappoint. Spanish octopus, cooked to perfection- lots of interesting flavors and textures we enjoyed. Lastly we shared the tacos (1 cod 1 shrimp), tasty fat tacos. Accompanied with fresh chips and the guac and salsa that was tasty. What really set it for us, was while we were wrapping up the meal. Me and fiancé were toasting to my late dad, today was his birthday. Well we asked for the check and planned to skip dessert. Well before we left our server had packed us the key lime pie to take home..just because. God lord, the timing of toasting my dad, and the generosity had me literally fighting tears. It really was a remarkable meal, we loved every bite. Our server whoever you are your f*cking wondeful and the team you are doing amazing work thank you.
