    Love coming here for soup and sandwich. Service is always friendly. It has indoor outdoor seating. The place is clean and well decorate

    Chen's Crispy Rice Salad
    Gina G.

    Another healthier option/salad spot to add to the slowly-growing East Bay list? Yes, I'll take it! How fun to now have a Mendocino Farms on this side of the EB tracks, and I'm sure a great new option for CAL students with this specific location so close to campus. A smaller Mendo Farms than others I've frequented, there is still plenty of interior seating while I can also imagine a decent to-go pull. Street parking on Shattuck is typically metered, and while not impossible, give yourself a few additional minutes to score your spot. We ordered: Chen's Crispy Rice Salad, Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada, the Grilled Turkey & Cheddar Sandwich (kids meals come with a kiddo bevvy and sliced apples, we added milk for the additional $2.75), and the star of the show for us..a side of the Spicy Curry Couscous. Yum! The service was incredibly quick and efficient, everyone was so friendly..especially to our kiddo. He was give a high chair and coloring page/crayons almost immediately, and the food wasn't too long after. I will say this was a super solid meal (and I have my specialty items from other fast casual salad joints in this immediate area), but adding Mendo for sure to the list. I loved the cashews in the Chen's Crispy Rice Salad, the avocado beautifully sliced atop the Superfood Ensalada, and the flavors of Mendo's signature curry sauce in the couscous. Well done. Mendo also has other menu items like soups, sandwiches, sides, and 1/2 sandwich combos. More deliciousness to come for future :))

    Cobb salad

    This review is based on an order we placed for delivery. I had the tomato bisque soup, the golden state cobb salad with rustic red wine vinaigrette dressing. I also had a bag of bbq chips. The salads are a good size, with lots of fresh vegetables, cheese, bacon...the soup was delicious! I will return and try other items from their menu as this was my 1st time eating here.

    Not so fried chicken sandwich
    Winnie L.

    Amazing staff and food! I went to the soft opening and everything flowed nicely from the line, to the cashiers and the food coming out. drinks were self serve and tasty, my favorite was the guava lemonade and pomegranate mint lemonade. Salads are always great but I like the not so fried chicken sandwich & Peruvian steak!

    Seasonal GOAT with pink lady apples salad
    Amber C.

    Came here on their soft opening day and let me just say. Everything was DELICIOUS. All the workers were so happy and so ready to help with anything we needed. Seating area was so cute and had great lighting and ambiance. Loved the giant "Eat Happy" sign on the wall. Great atmosphere overall, so many people found out about the soft opening! Seasonal GOAT with pink lady apples: This salad lived up to its name. It's truly one of the greatest salads I've ever had. The goat cheese gave just the perfect kick along with the pickled red onions, farmhouse vinaigrette, and hot citrus honey. Apples brought just the right amount of sweetness and absolutely loved the honey roasted almonds to give it a great crunch. It was everything I looked for in a salad and more. Highly highly recommend. "Not so fried" chicken sandwich: If you want fried chicken but want to be healthy too, this one's for you. Toasted ciabatta was so yummy, could've just eat that straight. But all the fillings worked super well together. The herb aioli was dripping everywhere and so much fell out while I was eating it, but it was so yummy. Dipped in some mustard remoulade sauce for a little spiciness. Pesto caprese sandwich: My friend swapped out the chicken for extra mozzarella cheese. Took a bite and it was just delectable. Loved the marinated red peppers with such a strong pesto and balsamic vinegar. Chicken parm dip sandwich: Also had a bite of this one and can say it was also very good. The sesame roll bread was a bit thick for my liking but the chicken was super flavorful. Basil pesto shells pasta: SO YUMMY!!! Came as a side but it was so good I could eat a whole bowl of it. Loved all the sun dried tomatoes, arugula, and feta cheese! Definitely gonna be adding these to my own pesto pastas too now. I also tried three of their housemade beverages and they had such fun flavors! Loved the get your greens, pomegranate mint, and guava drinks. Overall, great food, great vibes, will definitely be back to try more of their menu.

    Lemon chicken and farro soup
    Carl M.

    I had the not so fried sandwich and chicken soup. The sandwich was HELLA good. Just one of the best sandwiches I've had. Chicken was moist and bread was yummy. Soup was good too. Would come back again to try something else on the menu.

    Fresh ingredients, tasty food, delicious lemonades! The person took our order was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Music was calming and the cow decorations inside were super cute.

    Not So Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Melody L.

    FIRE sandwich and salad chain now in Berkeley! I was so happy Mendocino Farms opened last year on Shattuck because it's one of my favorite sandwich chains. I like how they have a good selection of choices to choose from, and they often have delicious seasonal items as well. My favorite thing to get is their "Not so Fried" Chicken Sandwich (in both sandwich ($14.75) and salad ($14.95) form) but I also really like their seasonal items which often include fruit in their sandwiches or salads. For instance, I really liked their Hot Honey & Prosciutto Sandwich from a few months ago! This location is modern and located in a convenient location in Downtown Berkeley. Service is fast and friendly -- would recommend this spot to anyone looking for a solid sandwich or salad spot in the area!

    Good filling sandwich, big enough for 2. I substitute leafy greens for shredded romaine. Everything tastes fresh on it. One thing I noticed there small potato salad side in their cooler bin always has expired date, today was the 8th & the potato salads expired on the 5th. Always check their side salads dates. Clean restaurant an friendly staff.

    Half Chicken Pesto Sandwich and Basil Pesto Pasta

    Service was amazing! Ai was super friendly and helpful. I think the food was very flavorful but felt a bit oily? Could just be me though.

    Potato salad and Pesto Pasta compared to chapstick

    I ordered the vegan banh mi and chicken mozzarella pesto sandwiches to go which were both good. I was disappointed however, with the potato salad and pesto pasta sides I ordered. For something that is 3.75 each I would expect a serving larger than a single spoonful. This is closer to the size of a costco sample than a small portion. I feel like it would be more fairly labeled as a kids size and not a small. I included the reference of how big it was compared to my chapstick. Also I purchased full sandwiches, but it doesn't make sense that if you do the 1/2 sandwich combo with a small side, it is the same price. This means this tiny side is equivalent to half of a sandwich which I doubt anyone would agree with. 2.5/5

It is very clear that something is wrong with Everytable's systems. Furthermore, it seems very obvious to me that the support responses I receive are AI generated. While I receive refunds, there is clearly no human element understanding how to escalate issues or actually solve problems. Well this is the future of AI services, folks. Lower prices by eliminating human employees, then provide garbage services that don't work and fake support that does the absolute bare minimum of refunding charges after complete failures. There is no one behind the curtain to understand when an issue has reached the point of unreasonable failure; they don't care about ruining their reputation with customers for a lifetime because there is no one there to care. I will never trust Everytable or use its online services again in the future. Cancelling my subscription and forever filing this company in the "trash" folder

Both are great, but I like Poke Bar more as I feel you get more protein and food for the price, super fresh fish (cut smaller than Wow, but feels like I am getting more, plus I have the option of asking for tofu as an option!). I love all of the add-ins (fried garlic goes great with fish and is so good without being too overpowering, far less overpowering than fried onions), the sauces are great, I like being able to have brown rice without being charged extra (ahem, Wow Lemonade ;) ), the seaweed salad is delicious and the food was so good that right after I took the first bite I made an audible sound and rolled my eyes it was so good. I had to be chill about it, but dang, Poke Bar rocks! I also like that it is a tiny bit more affordable, and you get more food for the price. So much food that I wasn't able to finish my medium-sized bowl. Only detractor is that I wish their krab was krab salad and not just krab. And I wish that as far as two sides go, that I could get two sides of krab and just mix in one of their sauces and some wasabi and make my own krab salad. Only negative about the place is that they don't offer bags with handles, just regular brown smaller grocery bags. So, if they stepped it up a notch and had branded bags I think that would help to promote their business more since they are located in a somewhat out-of-the-way spot. Definitely come and check this place out. Super fast service, okay seating, great, great, GREAT fresh fish, and such an umami flavor. Tip: get a mix of white and brown rice to make it a tad bit healthier and get some more fiber (if you don't want to go fully salad style and get greens. Or be wild and get all three options as the base!).

    I think I just discovered my favorite restaraunt of all time in Berkeley. Though the exterior of…read morethe restaraunt is unassuming, and the building itself is quite small with limited seating, the interior is still very clean and neat, and the workers are very nice. I placed an online order for the C Chicken Momos and the Garlic Cheese Naan, which were both phenomenal. The naan was some of the best I've ever had. It was so fluffy, thick, and pillowy soft, and was not overly charred/thin or too crispy like other naan. Just pure doughy goodness. There was also a perfect amount of cheese filling--enough that you got the subtle kick of milky acidity, but not too overpowering. The naan itself was also not too greasy, and the garlic flavor was very aromatic. You could also taste a hint of the slight tartness from (I'm assuming) the yogurt used to make the naan. The "C" Chicken Momos came with eight large pieces, which is definitely enough to fill you up. The sauce tasted like a classic sweet-and-sour sauce with a very mild and pleasant spice. Also, because the dumplings were fried, they were crispy despite being covered in sauce, but still had a bit of the nice chew you would get from a steamed momo skin. The fillings themselves were also super flavorful: you get a herbal and fresh taste from the ginger, which balanced the tanginess of the sauce so the meal did not feel too heavy, and the subtle nuttiness and pepperiness of cumin in each bite. The dumplings also had some warm broth in them, which is perfect for a cold day. The prices are fair too. You can often find small discounts on Snackpass or delivery apps like GrubHub. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back. Totally recommend!
