    Watermelon Poke Salad
    JoeAnna M.

    The food was very fresh and filling. However, I don't know I will be back. The parking is free for the first 30 minutes, which I expected to be enough time to order and eat most of my sandwich. However, it took 35 minutes to receive our order of one sandwich and one salad, ordered without modifications. We were a bit perplexed why it took so long. The dining area wasn't too full, but every patron there was waiting for food, only one guest was actually eating. The sandwich tasted like the sum of its parts, nothing too stellar bringing it all together. The veggie sandwich (I think the happy hippie) had a strong pickle taste throughout. Not sure why. The whole, fresh ingredients left me feeling satisfied all day long and that in itself deserves some respect and appreciation. Could make for a good catering order. There were lots of fresh choices.

    Delicious and great service. I usually wait a while after a new restaurant opens to let them shake down. But in less than 2 weeks this place is humming along. Pleasant and helpful door greeters and order takers started things off well. Even though very busy the food came pretty quickly. I loved my crunchy chicken wrap. I wish there were more wraps on the menu. It was big enough for 2 to share for lunch. [Actually my only complaint is how caloric some menu items are. Its a good idea to share!] My friend had the club and reported it "great". Wonderful start for this new restaurant!

    First the gal who helped me when I walked in was fantastic. I don't remember her name but it was Monday around 1pm. She complimented me on almost everything. So sweet that she deserved the big tip I left for her. Hopefully she got it. I've been to the downtown Seattle location, but my friend works down the street from the Bellevue location so a few of us decided to drive over to spend lunch time with her. It was all their first time and they were impressed. Everything so fresh, and they had a good selection of sandwiches and salads. We also enjoyed the drinks they offered. I liked the guava lemonade. Place looked clean and inviting. Manager came up To see how we were then cleaned up for us. He was going to bring me a bag and wrap so I can take leftovers home. He apologized because he forgot, but that's fine we weren't in a rush. Great place to hang out with your friends especially when some of us are picky eaters.

    Not-So-Fried Chicken Sandwich w/ Mustard Remoulade
    Jacques I.

    Mendocino Farms is my new favorite lunch spot! I am obsessed with the baja goddess salad, which has me coming back. And the downtown Bellevue location near the office and friendly staff make it all the easier to visit again and again. I learned about Mendocino Farms opening in downtown Bellevue and saw that at their soft launch, they were giving out free entrees for people to check out. Um yes, I am in. For their grand opening, they gave out free totes to the first 100 customers. I wasn't able to snag one, but my colleague did, and I love that the tote was Bellevue-specific and sturdy - definitely not a cheap-quality tote. I've had the baja goddess salad with the chicken, which is my favorite item here...for now. I haven't tried most of the menu, but the salad is an item I've re-ordered because it's that good! I also tried the not-so-fried chicken sandwich with the mustard remoulade, which was also delicious! They also have their housemade drinks with fresh fruit, which is worth checking out. In addition to sandwiches and salads, they have cookies and a kids menu here. This downtown Bellevue location is near many office buildings, with an outdoor seating area and a specific place for people to pick up their order for takeout. Staff is always super friendly. Every time I walk in here, staff checks in on me. In my most recent visit, I ordered takeout online and when I visited the store to pick it up, I learned they were so backed up with other orders, that my order would take 45 minutes to get. I didn't have 45 minutes to wait since I had a meeting, but the employee who helped me had the kitchen staff rush my order, so I didn't have to wait 45 minutes. Fantastic customer service and delicious, wholesome food. So glad Mendocino Farms is in Bellevue!

    Dasha is one of the reasons we come here. She is simply phenomenal! So happy all the time. Always willing to help and serve the guests; not just us. You can tell she genuinely has a natural gift of wanting to help others and natural customer service skills that far surpass others, her age! She needs to teach others her skills! She goes above and beyond! I hope this company somehow recognize employees like her. She has a very bright future so please take care of her! We hope this review makes it to the CEO since others maybe don't. Not to mention that the food is incredible! We have only tried the Cobb salad only because it has turned into our favorite salad in the area! We might try other things, but it's hard since that salad is out of this world!

    Good selections of sandwiches. Great addition to the lunch scene. They are very busy and the people are friendly and personable. I might try the online order next time.

    Lemon Chicken and Farro soup

    I ordered the Lemon Chicken & Farro soup and the Tomato Basil soup, hoping for something warm and comforting on a cold night. Unfortunately, both soups arrived extremely oily. The Tomato Basil soup also had a noticeable layer of oil on top, which isn't what I expect from a classic, cozy soup. I've tried several of their sandwiches in the past and found them to be decent, so this was especially disappointing. They also don't live up to the restaurant's slogan of "get ready to eat happy," as the quality of the soups fell far short of that expectation.

    Not so fried chicken
    Ivan G.

    Absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, made quick, and exceeded expectations. Friendly service.

    The modern Caesar wrap with chicken

    Amazing fresh food with quick, friendly service. Carlos P. was so gracious. We came here for my kid's birthday and he gave us the "Fan of the Day," which comped one of our orders. He answered all of our questions with kindness and ease. Thank you for making our birthday lunch so special! I have been craving a solid Caesar wrap in the Bellevue/Seattle area for a long time. This is IT! With avocado, crunchy quinoa bits, and fresh ingredients, I strongly feel that this is the best Caesar wrap in the area. Paired with Mama Zuma's Habanero chips (which are actually SPICY!) and a side of Caesar dressing, I was left feeling happy and full. You can honestly save half for later. The half and half vegetarian Caprese with tomato basil soup was spectacular and tasted homemade. The ciabatta was delicious. Every bite was perfectly proportioned, with the perfect ratio of mozzarella to tomato and leaves. I ate it so fast and forgot to take a photo - that's how good it was! Overall, I highly recommend this location for anyone looking for amazing, fresh food paired with impeccable service. This location was very clean as well. Thank you Carlos P. and team for making our day!

    The name of this establishment may not sound too appealing, but don't let it deter you... they whip…read moreup some delicious sandwiches! The menu is quite small with three cold sandwiches and three hot ones, each inspired by a different region of the globe with the South Pacific, South America and Mediterranean as a few examples. There were two salads listed as well. I've been here twice and both times, when I went to place my order on the iPad, the menu stated they were out of stock for the sandwich that I wanted. However, when I asked the employee, she said that was not correct. So if you see the same message when ordering, it's worth asking about it! During my first visit, I ordered the RENDANG ($14). This hot sandwich came packed with SO much meat! Very tender chunks of marinated beef tasted of coconut, curry and warm spices. The flavor had true depth and I could actually taste hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. Thin spears of pickled cucumber and carrot added crunch and a perfect zing of acidity. They were refreshing and cut through the rich beef. A drizzle of Sambal Terasi (chili) aioli gave it another layer of flavor. Cilantro, mint and Thai basil were all fresh and vibrant. The bread was lightly toasted, being a little crinkly in texture without being harsh against my gums. If I could change something, I would include a couple extra slices of the cucumber to balance out the ratio of vegetables to meat, and add a bit more of the aioli. Other than that, this is a great sandwich influenced by flavors of the South Pacific. My companion got the STEAK sandwich ($15) and enjoyed it. The steak slices were thinly cut and tender as well. They do their beef right! On another occasion, I tried the PROSCIUTTO ($14), one of their cold sandwiches. The delicate layers of prosciutto were placed on top of sliced tomatoes, pickled onion and arugula, all between pressed focaccia bread. Truffle mustard was spread on both pieces of bread, which was WAY too much in my opinion. With this mustard having a stronger flavor, it overpowered the sandwich and made it too tangy, especially in combination with the pickled onions. The menu stated this should include pistachios, but I didn't notice any, and they were all out of provolone, so there was also an absence of cheese. For the prices, these sandwiches are pretty generous in size, so I consider them a good deal, especially for the Bellevue area. The ingredients are fresh and make for a fantastic lunch option. While I wasn't a huge fan of the Prosciutto sandwich, I'd definitely go back again for another Rendang!

    Sad to see it go. Looked like there were some creative sandwich options but it is often…read moreunderstaffed and if you have to wait for a server's attention why not just go anywhere else where there are people waiting to serve you?

The bagels were delicious and toasted perfectly. It came with whipped butter and raspberry jam on the side. The pastrami omelet was very large and came with a generous serving of potatoes. ALso tried the pastrami and corned beef breakfast bagel, which was packed with almost like an omelet tucked inside a bagel. Also got a side of hand made chicken sausage which was okay. Tasted healthy. The one disappointment was the vanilla latte. It tasted more like it came from an automated coffee machine than a traditional espresso machine and lacked the flavor and quality I was expecting. Most things are self-serve here, including finding your own seating, grabbing silverware, getting water, and pouring drip coffee. As we were leaving, a live musician was getting set up to play, Which added a really welcoming atmosphere. The inside is nicely decorated and family friendly, with lots of children's books around to help keep little ones entertained. The prices are definitely on the higher side, but the portions are large. Food tastes good, large portions, cozy atmosphere, and live music, I'd come back again though I'd probably skip the latte next time.

All the food here is packed with flavor. The workers at the counter take your order and bring the food to your table. Its a nice cozy vibe regardless of the time of day or weather. One thing that has always stood out to me is that they serve Matzo Ball soup and an amazing Reuben sandwich. On my last visit I went around breakfast time. We ordered both the #7 Omelette: Nova Scotia Lox and the #2 Omelette: The Supreme Omelette. Of course both were such generous portions that we had leftovers. We also got the Reuben. The sandwich was so big it had to be deconstructed and eaten with a fork and knife.

    Oh my goodness, if you get anything at DERU, GET THE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CAKE PLEASE…read more It's been a few weeks since I've gotten it and I still think about that cake. (I haven't justified buying a whole cake for myself, but I truly want to--and am tempted to do so) The food is great and I'd love to go back. I went on a Monday, so it wasn't as busy as it would be on the weekend. The servers are kind, and you typically order from a QR code unless you're having a hard time (and they'll help you!). Quiet space. Some parking available on site but it can get busy on the weekends from what I've heard.

    Cute little place with good food and informal setting. Their dishes are pretty nicely thought out…read morebut oftentimes a number of them will be "out of stock" even leading into dinner time, but this is understandable if that's because they're aiming for freshness. What is not so great is that they've replaced human interaction and paper menus with a QR code based menu (annoying but becoming more common) and the only way to order is also through your phone (this is the part that is not common and really sucks). Been to DERU twice. First time my phone wouldn't let the order submit after polling everyone to put what they wanted into the "cart". Eventually some poor fellow who worked there had to use his little iPad and we all had to repeat ourselves to recreate the order after we'd already done the exercise on my phone. Second visit same thing- this time we had to recreate the order a few times on different peoples phones in our party until one of them could finally submit the purchase, and then they immediately started getting emails they weren't expecting as an outcome, their cell phone number was on our order ticket- so beware when you think you're just providing your credit card info- you're actually giving much more than that. We gathered for dinner to spend quality time together in real life and to get away from our phones but because of DERU's ordering system we instead spent the first 20 minutes of our dinner all on our phones. Then during the meal people would finish their glass of wine and want another- phone comes back out! This happened throughout the meal because, shockingly, people don't finish their glasses of wine at the same time, so all in all someone was pretty much on their phone close to the entire meal. Quite antithetical to the goal of human interaction and enjoying a nice dinner together. If they got rid of this ridiculous phone based menu and ordering system I would double my rating AND my tip. But at this point I may not come back for awhile.
