Brett and her team at the Encino location are truly wonderful. Whenever I visit, they always greet me with big smiles and are incredibly kind and helpful to everyone. Today, I had an order to pick up, but I realized I had sent it to the wrong place. As a sales representative, I had a meeting with a dental office and needed the order completed quickly because they had a short lunch break. Brett went above and beyond to get the order sorted out for me, rushing it so I could make it to my meeting on time. They even treated me to a free tray of cookies! They're truly amazing here, and the food is always excellent. My offices are always thrilled when I bring them Mendocino Farms, especially from the Encino location. read more

Such an awful experience every single time now. The employees no longer greet you, they aren't "rude" but they lack mannerism. Food time is stupid long. One sandwich takes 30 minutes. Ignore the ETAs on food apps, for me, it's never ready by said time. Management isn't better than the staff in ANY regard, so I understand why the employees get away with it. read more

Mendo lost its value Food took to long and was cold Horrible service and when we ask to speak to a manager they simply didn't care Location was dirty read more

Hadnt been here in a while - tried the feature sandwich the heirloom BLT which was a good portion size and made the way I requested it. Got a side of the couscous which tasted fresh as well. Parking challenging sometimes at this location but I got a good spot today - bravo ! read more

I was greeted at the counter by a very lovely and friendly young lady who took my order. This was my first time at the Encino location and it wasn't very crowded considering it was the peak for lunchtime. We sat outside and the service was prompt. Food came out just right. I ordered the 1/2 sandwich (The Farm Club and a side of Spiced Curry Couscous which is addicting) - Delicious! The food is consistently fresh and tasty. Very casual dining like all the other locations. Parking can be a challenge at times. read more

Delicious, healthy, and quick to come out. Big fan of the not so fried sandwich, definitely opt in for the bbq sauce - it adds a perfect tang. Huge shoutout to Robert for the friendliness and attentiveness to all our requests. As far as eating outside on Ventura, this is one of the more quiet and clean atmospheres, lovely on a nice day. read more

Mendocino Farms - "Not So Fried" Chicken - Salad Near Me - Encino, California

I have a bone to pick with Mendocino Farms for getting rid of my favorite salad on the menu (the pink lady beets salad), so docked a point for that. However, the winter citrus and goat cheese salad (chicken, marinated goat cheese, fresh navel oranges, hot citrus honey, honey roasted almonds, pickled red onions, shaved fennel, mixed greens, kale, romaine, farmhouse vinaigrette), and the Baja green goddess salad (chicken adobado, roasted corn, hatch chiles, black beans, jicama, avocado, grape tomatoes, red onions, Monterey jack, taco crunch, romaine, arugula, cabbage, cilantro, Baja goddess dressing) are great alternatives. This location often has sampler tasters which is a nice touch. Sometimes they are extremely busy and slower than usual, but that's most places these days. Please bring back the pink lady beets salad. Thanks ! read more

From the minute I entered Mendocino Farms you can tell how well taken care of this spot is. The gentleman that helped take my order was just genuinely nice and friendly so amazing to have such a happy human take my order. I was watching the team clean tables, take orders, pack the lunches and assist me and other customers with such a happy and inviting way. You can feel when a team loves what they do it shines bright all around. Thank you for making my day!! The peach chicken sandwich was sooo good. read more

I love MF but this location is a flop. They don't answer their phones. I called a few times yesterday and just thought they were busy. I got there and it was not. I expressed that to the person taking my order, she just said they were busy. I've been to other locations during lunch time when it's crazy busy and the phones are handled well. I've been to this location a few times and it's just been the same. I also hate that they discontinued my favorite salad and dressing. I was so bummed. read more

I guess this time was a total flop. The bread was basically raw--completely undercooked and inedible. I had to take the entire thing apart just to eat it without the bread. What made it worse is that I emailed corporate and never got a response. I really didn't want to leave a bad public review, but since no one bothered to follow up, I felt like I had no choice but to update it here. Maybe there's been a change in management at this location? I can't understand how something as obvious as raw dough was allowed to go out the door. That's not just disappointing--it's unacceptable. read more

2 stars because the people working there were very friendly and upbeat. My friend and I come to MF a lot because we like to order a sandwich and salad and split it. My company and team often cater from here. So today I came in here for a half a sandwich and cup of soup deal. It was very pathetic for the price. It felt like more of a third of a sandwich (wish I'd taken a pic) and it was like 2/3c of soup (pic attached) way overpriced for what you actually get. read more

5 stars for service!!! Shout out to these wonderful ladies Jakayla and Talia! So I've been here 2x I'm so excited this place finally opened up because it's a lot closer to me compared to Studio City. I came here their grand opening week and again today. The first time I came parking was available in the front metered and when I came today I parked in the parking structure. I wish it was more convenient or if they had like a pick up area where they bring it out to you. They do validate up to one hour but not a fan of having to park, get a ticket, validate, and get out because you can only make a right when coming out of the structure. Anyhow on the food and service, location etc. Great location once again fantastic service both times I've come here the workers are extremely friendly, today in particular Jakayla assisted me and when I asked for a water cup she even told me to try their lemonade drinks to see if I like them. I have always wanted to try their drinks but never wanted to buy one without actually tasting it, so it was so nice for her to offer it because I really enjoyed it and will definitely order one next time. Also, Talia assisted me as well and I had some questions about their menu and she was able to answer my questions she was very personable. I like their sandwiches, my go to is the chicken parm sandwich love the pomodoro sauce that accompanies it. I ended up ordering a catering order as I had a get together with some friends and everything came out perfect. I'm so glad this location opened up and overall it's great. Plenty of seating, good food, salads, sandwiches, good quality. -1 star for the parking situation and menu items the studio city location offers more items than them due to them being a test kitchen. I wish they had that chicken wrap here too. read more

The reason I keep coming back is mainly because of the friendly staff. I like the Not so Fried Chicken sandwich and the Steak Sandwich. The place is always clean. I like that you can choose to eat inside or outside or outside. read more

I have been so excited for this location to open and I was the first person in line! Today, 3/26/24, is the official grand opening and by joining their rewards program, you received a free entree with purchase. I ordered my usual which is The Farm Club- Shaved, roasted turkey breast, smashed avocado, applewood smoked bacon, herb aioli, tomatoes, mixed greens, pickled red onions on Mom's seeded honey whole wheat. As I don't eat bacon, I always sub for more turkey at no extra cost and get the aioli on the side. I got this as the 1/2 Sandwich Combo which comes with a deli side or cup of soup. I got a side of Spicy Curried Couscous-roasted cauliflower & carrots with Mendo's signature spice mix. Also, from 11a-1p they had a unique ice cream experience from Ice Cream Garden Catering to celebrate the newest location! Parking- As they are attached to an apartment complex, you can park in that lot for 60 minutes with validation or park at the Caruso shopping center across the way for free. Can truly never go wrong with Mendo! read more

First time here and loved it! The sandwiches are big and tasty and the salads fresh and filling. Definitely coming back to try more things. Parking was a bit challenging due to a small and crowded plaza but it depends on the time of day. We didn't have to wait for a table and service was nice and friendly. read more

I had an excellent experience at **Mendocino Farms** on Ventura Blvd, and I want to especially recognize the manager, **Brett Feinstein**, who was absolutely fantastic. Brett went out of her way to make sure our experience was the best possible. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about customer satisfaction. She even gave us extra salad dressing without hesitation, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. While the prices at Mendocino Farms are on the higher side, the quality of the food makes it completely worth it. The salads are original, incredibly tasty, and consistently fantastic. What truly sets this place apart for me is personal: my mother has a chronic illness and often has very little appetite. One of the *only* things she reliably eats--and genuinely enjoys--are the salads here. Even on days when she says she has no appetite at all, the Mendocino Farms salads are a sure thing. That says everything about the care, quality, and flavor of the food. Great service, outstanding management, and food that truly makes a difference. Highly recommended. read more

Josue & Susan went above and beyond tonight. They were friendly, efficient, understood our complicated dietary requests. Our salads were phenomenal!! 10:10 would and will come here again! read more

Mendocino Farms - Dining room with plenty of seating - Salad Near Me - Encino, California

The Encino location is relatively new (like maybe 6 weeks old), and while the staff wasn't trained initially, on my subsequent visit I noticed that they knew how to take complex orders, so that's good progress. I like that I can go to any table, and then scan a code that's on the table to punch in my food order ticket #, and then the staff just brings my food to my table. The place is always clean, and so I enjoy going here. My favorite is the Vegan Banh Mi Sandwich (no chicken). 675 calories, but it has me satiated for hours afterwards! Worth the calories! read more

Love, Love, Love, the food!!! Isaiah helped me out and recommended a good salad!!! I will be visiting again really soon! read more

Robert. He is the man. The best manager to do it all. He was so kind and sweet to both me and my girlfriend. It's rare in this beautiful life to come across a loving, sincere, and thoughtful -- but also extremely generous -- individual like Robert. He wished me a happy birthday, and after he wished me, he also mentioned it was his birthday as well! I can't express the feeling and the amount of excitement these words brought to me. Life is so good with Robert being the best manager at Mendocino Farms Encino. He even gave me a free side of Curried Couscous and BBQ Chips! When I was a kid, I would beg my mom to buy me BBQ Chips at Subway, but she would always tell me, "Honey, we have BBQ Chips at home..." Sometimes those words would make me cry... but today, the BBQ Chips that Robert gave me made me smile. Cheers to many more good times like this, and cheers to more good times with Robert. Happy birthday, Robert! You rock -- always will. Can't wait to come back and get a sandwich and some chips and a side of Curried Couscous, but this time, it's on my tab :) read more

Mendo finally opened a location in Encino! It's located in a plaza there is parking right next-door and make sure you get your ticket validated! This location is much smaller than most LA locations but the staff here are super amazing and friendly. They convinced me to try a new salad, which is very surprising because I always take to what I like but the Thai mango salad is amazing!! All the staff are super friendly and helpful! I come here to get a lot of work done, and it's nice but the music can be a little loud, so bring headphones! read more
