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.
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
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!
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!!
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!
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 :)
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.
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.
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!
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.
"So Derek, any good deals lately?" "Did you get your free entree from Mendocino Farms?" And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I disappointed my co-workers at work lol. I didn't realize Wahoo's had closed at Long Beach Exchange (LBX) until I heard that Mendocino Farms was going to open a location at that exact spot. I tried Mendocino Farms elsewhere a few years ago and enjoyed the sandwich that I got alongside their upbeat customer service. In fact, I even compared them to Urbane Cafe, which oddly enough, opened their first location in Long Beach earlier this year, also at LBX! While Mendocino Farms has been in Long Beach for a while, it was only in the form of a ghost kitchen at Daisy Diner. Pulling a page out of Starbird Chicken's book, they have now exchanged their ghost kitchen for a brick-and-mortar location. In the months leading up to their opening, they posted a sign by their front door letting customers know that they can get a free entree by joining My Mendo and selecting the LBX location as their preferred location. The sign is a bit misleading, however, because there is a string attached to the free entree; you have to make a purchase first, but it can be any. I came on a Monday just after noon, and it was the start of the lunch rush. A few customers were in line, but I noticed inside a bucket were large menus, which I wasn't sure I was allowed to take one of. Amna greeted me with a super welcoming and helpful demeanor, even showing me the menu brochures behind the larger menus. Why they'd put the smaller menus behind the larger ones, I have no clue; how would anyone else know if they weren't looking from behind? Neither of the menus showed the prices, and when I asked Amna, she pointed me to a plasma screen on the wall that showed the prices. I had briefly seen the menu beforehand, so I kind of knew what I wanted: Peruvian Steak Sandwich. The Chimichurri Steak & Bacon sounded great too, but the Peruvian Steak Sandwich allowed for an upgrade at an upcharge whereas the Chimichurri Steak & Bacon didn't. I wanted to see if the free entree would cover the upcharge, hence why I chose the Peruvian Steak Sandwich. For my any purchase, I wanted to try a small deli side, but the menu didn't really describe what the sides were. I was interested in the Spicy Curried Couscous and the Basil Pesto Shells, so I asked Nate about them. He went a step above and showed me the containers so that not only would I know what they look like, but I'd also know how big the sizes were. The Spicy Curried Couscous sounded and looked like the better choice, so I went with that for my any purchase. After he scanned my QR code for the free entree, I saw that I'd still get charged for adding the avocado. I suppose that could count as a valid purchase here, but I wanted to try the couscous, so I asked to hold the avocado instead. Now, here's where things got interesting. Nate asked me for my phone number so they could text me when my order was ready, and he also directed me to scan a QR code on a table so they could bring my order out to me. I initially said "to go" since I wasn't sure I could eat comfortably with many customers milling about, but because his latter instruction implied a "for here" order, I simply decided I'd eat at an open table once I found one. The process confused me to the point where I got a text 8 minutes later telling me that my order was ready even though I had used the QR Code to tell the team which table I was sitting at. One employee called my name, but I saw another employee, Marcus, looking in my direction. I signaled to Marcus that was my order, and he handed me my takeout bag. In spite of the seemingly conflicting pickup instructions, I enjoyed everything about the couscous and the sandwich! The couscous had the spicy curry flavor I was expecting, and the sandwich tasted almost like a gourmet burger! I was impressed with how fresh everything tasted (farm to fork?!). And service was practically flawless too with Eli, Marcus, and Cody overseeing the dining area to tend to all the customers dining inside, continuing the warm welcome that Amna created at the front. Three other downsides to my order: One, the serving sizes were kind of small, but what they lack in size, they more than make up for in quality and flavor. Two, they only included a couple of napkins in my greasy takeout bag, but when I asked Eli for more, he fetched me way more than a couple. And three, they didn't include a utensil in my takeout bag, so I had to ask Marcus for one. They really expected me to eat couscous with my hands or like a dog? lol All that being said, I did consider giving them 4 stars, but with how great everything else was, I'm willing to bestow the coveted 5th star. I'm actually glad the pickup process confused me that I changed my mind and decided to eat there so I could witness the great customer service. I do hope they include more napkins and a utensil for a side and *especially* a soup, though.
Stopped into Mendocino Farms for a quick reset after a stretch of eating like a teenager left unattended at a 7-11. I grabbed the Apple Goat Cheese Salad and my wife went with the Lemon Chicken Soup. Everything was fresh, clean, and well put together. No major "wow" factor for a full-spice, adventurous eater like me, but it definitely hit the spot and was a nice break from the junk I've been inhaling lately. Solid choice when you want something fresh and reliable.
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! read more
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. read more

I love Mendocino Farms sandwiches and Salad. The ingredients are always nice & fresh , breads are awesome. They are always introducing new seasonal items in their menu. The place never disappoints. This time we tried the Pink Apple Lady Salad which is their seasonal menu item and it was a homerun ! One of the best salads we've had. Seating can get a bit challenging at this location with a lot of foot traffic but the food makes sure its all worth it. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I always head good things about their sandwiches. My son's turkey and cheese seemed very hard and dry. He nibbles only a the ends and we tossed the rest. The Peruvian sandwich was okay, did have a kick to it. Opened the club sandwich and it was packed messy. Standard sandwich. Their guava lemonade was good though. I liked the selection of drinks but food wise it didnt live up to the hype I had for it. read more

Passed by Menocino Farms and decided to give it a try. First off, it is hard to not compare it to Panera when you take a look at the menu but perhaps a new and updated version would excite us. All in all Mendocino falls between a 3 and a 4 for me, I upscaled it a touch just because I actually liked the freshness of the ingredients and the Farm Club sandwich was tasty but in the end, it is just another sandwich. I had sandwich and side deal which included a half Chicken Pesto Caprese and the pesto shells side. The wife had a "Not So Fried" chicken sandwich with the potato salad. They were both kinda mid level in my opinion. The flavors were there but just nothing special. I mentioned the Farm Club prior and did think it was the best thing on the table. We also indulged in the fresh juices but I actually went and tried every one they had. The Guava lemonade was the best of the bunch but was a bit too tart for the fam. If you are looking for like salad in liquid form, holy moly that "get your greens" juice was like pure grass. There were a bunch of workers there and they were all EXTREMELY friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. I am assuming they will trim that down in the future and that most of them were training for the time being. As far as the seating? Most of it was pretty standard but my wife found the bench seats covered with artificial grass a touch off-putting. I would probably give it another try at some point. read more

Picked up a steak and bacon sandwich with an oatmeal cookie for dessert. I ordered it in person because this is the first time trying out this restaurant. Food was ready in 10'mins. I ate it at home and I added avocado on top. The steak was tender and flavorful and so tasty paired with the crispy bacon together. I definitely will come back to try out their other menu items. Hard to find parking. Friendly staff. read more

Newest mendo to date located behind Handel's. I would recommend parking in that same lot, close to Nordstrom Rack because as you know, it's almost impossible during peak times. You enter, order as usual and then scan the qr code on your table with your receipt number and they'll bring it out to ya. They do have a few things not on the menu like the cookies. Their menu has condensed quite a bit since I last worked for them. Still overall really solid salad and sandwiches. I'm just not a big fan of the sesame bun they use on say the Peruvian steak. It's tasted and crumbles into pieces when you take a bite. A mix of indoor and outdoor seating here. About 50/50. We opted to sit outside and saw kids and adults drooling over their ice cream next door. The thai mango salad is fabulous (I opted for beef upgrade and it was $2.50 more and the salad reminded me of pho ) and we also got the Calabrian chicken sandwich. This, finally is my closest mendo to my house. Good job mendo, I'll see you soon! read more

Absolutely love their seasonal GOAT Pink Lady Apple salad! It's one of the best salads I've ever had! Service as fast and friendly. Store was clean and nicely decorated. Located in a super convenient plaza with so many other businesses and plenty of parking. read more

Always love love love coming to this Mendocino Farms location during my workweek! Everyone is always so kind and fun to chat with-- plus the food is so fresh and yummy! I never feel bloated or like I "ate too much" because of how clean the ingredients are. Special shoutout to Gabe and Godriel!! Super awesome and sweet every time I come in to grab my lunch! Don't miss out on this location, you will not regret it :) read more

There was a long wait at Paninis restaurant and noticed that this restaurant had 4.3 stars and we thought we would give it a try so glad we did. A bit of a wait but well worth it, delicious food. We all had different orders and we were not disappointed; salads fresh and healthy and very generous in their portions. So glad we found another place to eat salads, highly recommend. Location is big enough with plenty of tables. read more

Mendocino Farms is already one of my favorite restaurants and this Long Beach location on McGowen Street might just be one of my favorites yet. It feels like a newer spot and everything about it was on point during my recent visit on a Wednesday evening! I was thrilled to see that the seasonal GOAT with Pink Lady apples was available - I really miss it being on the regular menu. One of the best salads - EVER! Naturally, I also ordered a large side of my beloved spicy curried couscous, not fully realizing just how generous the portion size would be at this location!! No complaints whatsoever though - it was massive, flavorful, and I happily enjoyed every single bite (though I did need a box hehe). The restaurant itself was spotless, the service was amazing, and the food was exactly what I've come to expect from Mendocino Farms. Always fresh, thoughtful, and delicious. This location absolutely nailed it and I'll be back, I love Mendo! read more
I ordered for pickup using the app during the weekend. By the time I got there, my order was ready on the pick up shelf. The inside of the establishment looked fairly clean. As for the food, I got the Peruvian steak sandwich & basil pesto shells. Both items tasted great! I would recommend signing up for an account with them so that you can easily order ahead on the app and also get deals. read more

I'm so happy that we finally have a Mendocino Farms in LB! The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The interior decor is so well thought out and cute! They use fresh ingredients all the time. My husband and I order the same thing all the time, which is their Farm Club, but this time I ordered the Seasonal Goat Cheese Lady Apple Salad. It is legit the BEST salad I've ever had. I really hope they continue to keep it on the menu and it's just not seasonal. For some reason it has so many different flavors and different textures- it's sweet, spicy, savory & crunchy. I will continue to order this until it's not in season. read more

The girl who greeted me was so sweet and genuine. Made me feel so welcome. I usually go to the Brea location, but when I found out they opened one in Long Beach I was excited. Such a delicious sandwich. I couldn't ask for a better one. Flavorful!! I can eat this practically everyday. Nice and clean interior. read more

I was excited to see Mendocina Farms open here. First time I tried it was catered at a birthday party. The kids sandwich combo grilled cheese and apples is great, my kid ate everything even all the apples which is a first. Preferred the turkey sandwich over the Peruvian. Peruvian sandwich came with sesame toasted bread and toasted but not my personal preference. The pomegranate mint lemonade and guava mint were drinks were delightful. Good amount of indoor outdoor seating. Lots of high chairs for kids. Very nice staff. read more
