    Chopped Chicken Caesar Wrap , Sweet & Spicy Thai Wrap
    Simrah A.

    we got two wraps that came with spinach tortilla caesar salad wrap- classic, and had a good amount (but not too much) of caesar dressing. there was some crunch too which was satisfying sweet and spicy thai wrap- a seasonal item! it has rice noodles in it, some veggies and chicken. it was really good and refreshing!! the sauce it comes with made it even better too! both were delicious! their menu is also pretty big, which was great. there are so many options, ranging from wraps, burgers, sandwiches, and bowls! the service was also very good, they were so nice! it's funny how we would've never found this place if we aren't furniture shopping- this lil plaza has other food spots too and it's so hidden!

    Food was pretty tasty, I got a kale salad with quinoa and it was quite good. The Buffalo cauliflower did not taste too delicious and it was a fairly small portion but not too bad. Atmosphere inside is nice. Parking can be quite challenging in the evening with all the other restaurants. Overall a good spot I may or may not come back.

    Superfood Matcha Latte with Oat Milk
    Angelina C.

    Food was really good, fresh ingredients and very visually appealing. I ordered 2 tacos & avocado toast and matcha latte to drink. But the patio seating was the cherry on top, so peaceful and serene. Definitely a hidden secret. Service was also good, you order at the counter and they bring it to your table.

    Chop Chop Salad

    This is only for Costa Mesa location. I wrote a review about 8 months ago sharing my disappointment in the quality here--especially with the Chop Chop salad. I decided to give it another try today, hoping it had improved, but unfortunately it hasn't. The salad still does not include garbanzo beans or the pepperoni blend, and it barely has any red onions. It's really disappointing that the Costa Mesa kitchen version of Greenleaf doesn't live up to the standard. I also don't think it's fair to advertise the salad with all of the listed ingredients when they aren't actually included. Only writing a review because I really hope the quality can improve so I can get my yummy salad again!

    JON'S STEAK & KALE SALAD
    Mindy L.

    Order & Pay At The Counter. Given A Table Number Holder. Pick A Table Inside Or Outside. Friendly & Attentive Service. I Was Looking Forward To Trying An Iced Turmeric Latte. None Of The Lattes Were Available @ 11am. Disappointed!! I Tried 'Jon's Steak & Kale Salad. I Asked For Medium Rare Steak & It Looked Well-Done.

    For a fresh salad, a great choice. Nice amount of ingredients- not just a bunch of lettuce and dressing. Service was also good:)

    This is the La La bowl
    Irma Patricia B.

    I ordered lunch from this place, it came up as recommended when I logged onto Uber Eats and searched for something healthy to eat today for lunch. When I browsed the menu I saw the cute name, La La bowl and the ingredients and description looked great. I'm a big fan of black beans so I was excited for my bowl! You can add chicken or shrimp, it doesn't usually come with a protein option, it's 5 dollars extra for chicken, not sure how much for shrimp. I also got me a lemonade to go with my bowl. It arrived beautifully packaged, I was very impressed and ate most of it right away saving the rest for later. It was amazing, I loved the spicy dressing it came with too! You can tell that the vegetables and products used to make this were fresh and good quality max the cook took his time in making it oh so perfect. It cured my hunger and tastes really good! The lemonade was great too. Thank you!

    305 bowl in front, side of fries in middle, Cabo kale salad with chicken
    Spencer S.

    Part of the SOCO shopping center. Indoor and outdoor seating. Dog and kid friendly. Casual atmosphere. Order at the register, they give you a number, and bring your order to you. Fast and friendly service. As of July 2023, the following cost around $45 with tax and small tip: cabo kale salad with chicken, 305 bowl (carnitas, avocado, rice, beans, pineapple, other veggies, salsa, corn tortillas), and side of fries. I'd argue a bit on the pricey side for a non-sitdown restaurant, but such is life these days. Everything was great, and good-sized portions! More than enough for two people, even though we were also sharing with a hungry baby.

    This places had a lot of delicious sandwiches and salads here. The service was friendly and nice . It's in a nice quiet area which is nice. I've previously DoorDash from my house from greenleaf and decided to give this place a try at the restaurant

I got to tell you the guava lemonade is to absolutely die for! I could drink a gallon of that with no problem at all. For my food. I ordered the not so fried Chicken Sandwich and a side crunchy apple salad. It was the perfect amount of food. And the flavors were so on point. I could hardly believe it. I can't believe I was so judgmental about a place without even going there, it just shows what happens when you put your assumptions before fact. The bottom line? I will absolutely be coming back to this place again when I'm in town. It is the perfect midday meal. I don't feel heavy and bloated like I would after a huge Burger and fries, and the flavors were very fresh and inviting. Go check this out if you get a chance!

I was deciding on where to snag lunch on my way to another store doing my rounds and I really wanted a sandwich. I decided to get the Turkado, some dirty Maui chips and drink. The total came to $17 and some change, not bad about the avg for the area and any lunch. The service was great, the woman who helped me was nice, and efficient, she helped me select what chips to get. Not much bantering but I do enough of that at work, so all good here. The store was clean, nice vibe, music. My order was ready in the time it took me to fill my soda cup and sit down to scroll 1 scroll thru outlook emails. Maybe 5-7 mins the woman who gave me my order asked if I wanted some secret sauce on the side, and put it in the bag. The bag felt heavy! The sub was huge! Probably 8inches bread was nice and springy, there was enough lettuce, tomato and sauces on it. I love the sunflower seeds, gives it a nice little crunch. The meat is more of a very thin piled high but there is a lot of it! I like how the sub is assembled meat, cheese, toppings sauce, it seems to hold together nicely.

    This review covers my experience across multiple locations, including Harbor Boulevard in Costa…read moreMesa and Beach Boulevard in Huntington Beach. When I first started coming to Board and Brew, I would have given it a solid five stars, but my perspective has shifted after six years of exploring other local options in the county. The Evolution of the Experience: * Ingredients: While the food is definitely better than a pre-made deli sandwich from a grocery store, it isn't exactly top-tier. The bread and meat are good, but as you try more specialized places, you realize these are fairly standard. * The Famous Sauce: Their signature sauce is tasty, but it feels like it contains a high amount of monosodium glutamate (MSG). MSG is a neuro-exciter that can make people feel overstimulated or unwell after eating it, and it feels particularly intense in this recipe. * Consistency: Both the Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa locations were great initially, but they now feel more like a solid, middle-of-the-road option. The Best Use Case: * Catering & Events: Even with a three-star rating, this is absolutely the place I would go if I needed catering for a birthday party or a large event. Their pricing and preparation for bulk orders are hard to beat. Final Thoughts: If Yelp allowed half-stars, I'd probably give this a 3.5. It's a reliable, solid sandwich shop, but the ingredient quality and the intensity of the MSG in the sauce keep it from being a five-star favorite for me anymore. Edit: The owner replied to my comment about how their food is high quality, but 6 years of taste testing says otherwise. While you may not add pure MSG crystals to your sauce, it still contains MSG.It is misleading to claim "No MSG" or "High Quality" when the sauce relies on ingredients that are chemically identical to it. For instance: Tomatoes and Tomato Paste: These are among the highest natural sources of free glutamate. If the recipe uses tomato paste--as many copycats do--it will test positive for MSG. Soy Sauce & Worcestershire Sauce: Both frequently cited in recipes for this sauce, these contain naturally occurring MSG through fermentation or hydrolysis. Nutritional Yeast: Often used to provide a savory flavor, it naturally contains high levels of glutamate.Hydrolyzed Proteins: Ingredients like "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" (HVP) or "yeast extract" are processed specifically to release glutamates. Legally, a company might say they "don't use MSG" if they don't add the pure additive, but that is a technicality. MSG is linked to various health issues for sensitive individuals, and just because many consider it "safe" doesn't mean it's healthy or non-harmful. If the food is truly "high quality," why rely on these additives to create flavor? Best Wishes
