    I've been a fan of Mendocino Farms ever since they only had a single location in Southern California. They've expanded pretty aggressively and I'm so glad that I now live next to one. I miss their pork belly banh mi and I think their steak sandwiches were better in the past; however, I really love their salads. I think it's worth spending $1 to have them handheld in tortilla wrap. Their farm club is also simple, but prepared really nicely with juicy turkey, avocado, and crispy bacon. With the perfect balance and textures, what's not to like? When I do come in, I keep an eye on their seasonal specials that feature fresh ingredients. Had their tuscan pesto salad in a wrap, and I really enjoyed the balanced flavors and textures. There's crispiness, acidity, and herb flavors that made it pretty nice. Their mustard forward potato salad and the curried couscous are also staple dishes at Mendo and I can't leave without having a medium-sized order of both of those.

    Citrus Goat Salad - full of flavor and texture!

    Fast and friendly service for fresh food! Ordered the flavorful and fresh seasonal goat with a sweet citrus vinaigrette. It comes with thin slices of chicken, pickled red onions, romaine and mixed greens, marinated goat cheese, chopped up roasted almonds, orange slices, fresh mint, and a drizzle of citrus honey. Every bite had me wanting more! Also had the lemon chicken farro soup that was bursting with flavor and great texture on the farro. The broth is a bit more on the thicker side. Also recommend!

    Thai Mango Chicken Salad

    My sis and I came here to try their salads since I've heard a lot about how delicious they were. We definitely weren't disappointed! We both ordered the Thai Mango Salad with chicken and it was amazing! I like the fresh herbs like mint and Thai basil that is in the salad. It added a really fresh element to the salad. I ordered mine without the ramen noodles since I didn't want the extra carbs. Service was great, the staff members were all really nice and helpful! You place your order and then they bring your food out to your table. Ambiance is nice, clean location, lots of seating inside and outside in their heated patio area.

    He was a little late and we were hungry for dinner so we found Mendocino Farms at the LBX. They had a good variety of salads and sandwiches and even soups. They also have a good variety of different refreshing lemonades and non-alcoholic drinks. As you walk in, it's very clean and welcoming. Once you're ready to order, the staff is friendly and helpful. My wife got the Thai mango salad and it was fresh and delicious. For under $14 she got a large portion. I ordered the farm club sandwich. It was plenty of turkey and bacon with lettuce and tomato and some nice dressing along with it. Very fresh and flavorful. I would definitely come back and it's good to know they have other locations.

    One of my favorite places to frequent. I am a creature of habit and always get the green goddess salad, but I think I recently found a new favorite. Too bad it is on their temporary menu lol Been getting the farmhouse ranch salad with chicken and jalapeño added. Such a delicious salad and very filling. All staff is very welcoming and friendly every single visit, love this place

    Look at this beautiful club sandwich stuffed with quality ingredients! YUM!

    This is one of the newest locations for Mendocino Farms, and I'm so happy it was open during my recent trip to Long Beach! I love Mendocino Farms and I try to eat it every time I'm in Southern California. I love the healthy and tasty sandwiches and especially that curried couscous side. I could literally eat 10 pounds of that stuff if given the chance, LOL! This new location is at the hip Long Beach Exchange, a shopping and dining complex next door to the Long Beach airport. The parking is limited but free, so snag a spot quickly. The two best spots are reserved for pick-up orders, so don't be a jerk and take those up. I'd say this location has a grab and go type of vibe. They do a large carryout business (which is understandable given the sheer number of office buildings and hotels nearby), and they have a cubby system where your order is placed in a cubby next to your last initial. There aren't a lot of tables inside or on the small outdoor patio, so be prepared to take your meal to go during the most popular times of the day (which appear to be 12 - 2 pm on weekdays and 11-2 on weekends)! The food is on the pricey side, but it's due to the quality and the California location! The ingredients here are such high quality. I ordered the classic Clubhouse sandwich with a side of curried cous cous. It was seriously tasty, fresh, and made with super fresh ingredients like avocado and artisan greens. The sandwiches and salads feel like a little upgrade from your usual lunch run, making it the perfect foodie pit stop while shopping. One thing that annoyed me is that while I was inside trying to enjoy my lunch, a random teenager approached me trying to sell candy as a fundraiser. She wouldn't take "no" for an answer, and she went to several tables before she left the restaurant. I guess the manager and employees were super busy, but they need to do a better job to keep that from happening. That's a guaranteed way to annoy and anger your customers. I don't have much else to say about Mendocino Farms except that this is another location that provides fast service and a stellar sandwich. Try it if you haven't!

    Chicken Parm Dip

    I always have a good experience when I come to this Mendocino Farms. The staff are always warm and friendly. It's located in the LBX Long Beach Exchange Retail Shopping Plaza. Parking can be tricky, but there's always a spot; you might just have to walk a little further! As soon as you enter the restaurant, there is a line to order. If you're ordering to-go, they'll send you a text when your order is ready. If you're eating in, you can the QR code on your table to let them know where you're sitting, and they'll bring your food to you when it's ready. One of my favorite sandwiches is their Prosciutto and Chicken Sandwich. It has a great variety of textures and flavors. Their Chicken Parm Dip is another of my go-to's. Recently I've been enjoying their limited time Spicy Calabrian Turkey Focaccia. I hope this one finds a home on their regular menu! For their salads, I love their Avocado and Quinoa Superfood Ensalada! The Seasonal GOAT with Pink Lady Apples is pretty good too! Mendocino Farms does a great job of having Chef's Special items that I look forward to trying!

    the farm club: roasted turkey, avocado, applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, red onions, greens, herb aioli on whole wheat = $13.95

    PSA: I don't know who needs to know this, but Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken salad has been reincarnated as Chen's Crispy Rice salad! The Chen's Crispy Rice salad ($12.95) is virtually the same as the original minus the little mandarins. The base of the salad remains the same: romaine, kale, and spinach. It comes topped with chicken or tofu, rainbow carrots, watermelon radish, cashews, crispy rice, wontons, scallions, cilantro, red and green cabbage. I always ask for an extra miso dressing just in case I get greedy. The salad tastes really refreshing if you're looking for something on the lighter side. It's made a little tangy with the miso dressing. Mendo is always a solid, healthy choice for a meal. Prices have also remained very reasonable.

    1/2 Not fried chicken sandwich and side of basil pesto shells
    Danielle B.

    Me and the hubby came here on a Friday early afternoon for lunch. I ordered the 1/2 "Not So Fried" Chicken on a Ciabatta Toasted bread with a small basil pesto shells side and Tangy Mustard BBQ Sauce and Mustard Remoulade sauces to try. The hubby ordered the Smoky BBQ Brioche Sandwich on a toasted Cornmeal Brioche with Dill Pickle Chips. I enjoyed my Not so fried chicken sandwich . The basil pesto shells were good but needed a little salt. I liked the dill pickle chips also!!

    Club sandwich & tomato bisque
    Susan J.

    Fast casual dining. Inside and out was clean. Gabe came from behind the counter to assist us with ordering, took our order, delivered our order and checked on us while we ate. Many options to choose from. My sister enjoyed the Not So Fried Chicken sandwich. The Farm Club and Tomato Bisque were also yummy. I can't recall the salad that was ordered but there was plenty of it! Too much for one person at one sitting. We also had a Pomegranate Mint Lemonade...I definitely want more.

    Kids grilled cheese and green apples
    Ronalyn H.

    Years ago, I had a parent bring a sandwich variety box from here, and it left a memory with me. It was so fresh and tasty. Unfortunately, it wasn't in my area so I didn't have it again until I was around L.A. near the farmers market and I just had to have it again. Years down the line again, they finally opened up one in my area and I couldn't be more thrilled about it. My family and I frequent LBX so better believe this option is in full rotation of my faves. My daughter and I popped in and grabbed some lunch and we both fully enjoyed our meal. She ordered the grilled cheese sandwich from the kids menu (great deal by the way, sandwich, apples and a drink) and she said that this is now another one of her fave spots. I got the farm sandwich (turkey, lettuce, avocado, bacon and tomato) and it was filling, fresh and delicious. The cashier recommended the potato salad as my side and I loved it. She gave me a sample too before ordering. Spacious restaurant, simple and enjoyable decor. Food came to our table in a timely manor and they have a variety of different unique fountain drinks. Of course, I'll be back!

    Shout out to Gabe & Sonia, great attitude and respectful! Gabe is very hospitable, made sure i had what i needed whenever i asked- give that person a raise! Moving on to the food, this salad is the reason i haven't gone vegan (it's that amazing goat cheese).. it's harvesting so much flavor. It's spicy but sweet, savory and delectable. I'll put that salad order, be sure to get some feta and bread on the side & thank me later ;) The drinks there are chef's kiss (if you like a balance of sweet, go ahead with some black tea mixed in with your favorite choice there), I personally like pomegranate mint with black tea. The set up is great inside an outside, definitely a perfect place for a solo date, friend date, or romantic time :)

    We are always thrilled to find another Mendocino Farms. This location is so nice and new. The restaurant is a smaller one, but the employees were super kind. Nice new build in Long Beach. My go to is the turkey avo salsa verde. The seasonal sandwich: spicy Calabrian turkey focaccia was phenomenal. Maybe one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. The bread...unreal! All that to say, for a chain sandwich shop, Mendocino Farms always delivers. We even split a cup of their chicken lemon soup today and it was so good. The salads are incredible as well. This meal was an oasis in a long day of packing and travel.

    Was told about this place for a while now. Just needed to get here! The LBC trip did just that! We…read morestopped by for dinner after the Oakland Ballers and LBC Coast game. Jumped in line and immediately overwhelmed with options! decided on the build my own bowl. Spinach, arugula, basmati rice, feta, tomatoes, harissa honey chicken, grilled steak, pita stips, crazy feta, side harissa. Yeah, we need this place in the Bay Area! I don't know why we are late to the party when it comes to places like this. But this is worth stopping by when in the So. Cal area with a location near you! I highly recommend stopping by when you see one or plan to stop by one!

    I was excited to have Cava for lunch because I haven't had it in a while. And it was my husband's…read morefirst time trying it. We got a falafel crunch bowl to share. Because it's a pre-set bowl, it already has a set base, protein, toppings, and dressing. As I was watching them make it, I noticed they only out 2 falafels in the bow the size of these falafels we so small, and for such a big bowl?! The guy serving me down the line was either ignoring me or couldn't hear me because I kept calling him, trying to get his attention! One we got towards the end of the line was was he decided to look up and I asked him if I could have 1 more falafel. He put it in then closed my bowl. I also noticed they put such little dressing. I asked the cashier if he or the other guy (last) in the line if I could have more dressing in a small container or on the side. They just opened my bowl and squeezed a ton of dressing in my bowl. Luckily it wasn't one of those wet dressings, otherwise by the time I would have gotten to my food at home, it would have been soggy! My husband ordered a side of steak. When looked at my receipt, they charged me $8+ for the small side of steak they gave to me! My husband said in the menu it said $3!!! I feel like the service was definitely lagging here. NOTE: NEEDS TO IMPROVE ON SERVICE! The ambiance is cool. Nice place to eat and enjoy your food. But with how long the wait is, I wouldn't sit near the end as there's so many people so close to you as you eat, just my opinion. Btw I read a review from 5 months ago saying the soda fountain is broken... it's still broken!
