    BARBECUE BOWL
    Dallas A.

    Fresh ingredients and amazing value -- you get a giant bowl that's good for at least one (probably two) meal. Love that you can choose from a variety of pre-made bowls/salads or build your own. Great to have a healthier option for lunch and dinner in Santa Monica that's reasonably priced!

    My DYO salad ($11.95)
    Tatiana P.

    Decided to stop by Mixt Santa Monica for lunch, and didn't regret it. They have endless options for salads. You can design your own or select from a ready menu. They also have sandwiches and warm bowls. I went with DYO so I could select what I like. It was great - good portion, tasted very good, and ingredients were fresh. I really liked the balsamic dressing with it. The restaurant was clean with nice decor. Fabian helped me and was wonderful.

    Ceasar with crispy chicken
    Shinay W.

    Love this place. Great ceasar and warm bowls. Their crispy cauliflower is so so good too. Carrot, turmeric, strawberry drink is also a win. Service is hit or miss but when it's a miss it's still a hit. Although they aren't super great with large orders for some reason. Sometimes literally something different than what you ordered lol, not even wrong just different. I love their sun room sitting area. Big and airy. I own a space close by and it's a go-to!

    Be-LEAF-me, @mixt is definitely a must try if you're looking for a salad in LA! I love how you can MIX things up with either their build your own and pre-fixed options, which are perfect if you're indecisive like I am. Their quality is consistent throughout both their Bay Area and LA chains, and I love how you can get unbelievably large portions with very fresh ingredients for very reasonable prices! My go-to's are the Mandarin salad and Mixt Crispy Chicken Sandwich, but their new Peachy salad definitely takes the spotlight, and I would highly recommend checking them out while peach season is in full swing. Featured here: Elote salad Peachy salad Mandarin salad Mixt crispy Crispy Cauliflower lemonade agua fresca All the employees are seriously so kind and helpful, and this is definitely a spot that I would bring my friends to for a casual hangout!

    DESIGN YOUR OWN SALAD
    Alyssa C.

    Salads here are huge and love the variety they have!! I wasn't crazy about the marinated tofu and I wish the design your own salad came with a bit more of the toppings (they allow only 5 and don't put much of any of them on - as you can see). Their reciped salads might be a better choice! They seem to include more and aren't much more expensive. The service is pretty good, although that might depend on who's making your salad It's a peaceful spot, good for lunch or even for studying (saw a few people with their laptops out). Would definitely return!

    Cowboy Salad with WRONG dressing... where's the chipotle honey drizzle??
    Kelly C.

    This is a super expensive place .. for salad. Over $50 for two salads. So when the delivery comes and the order isn't correct-- it's super disappointing. There's also no way to contact the restaurant. Any issues with an order can only be pursued thru their "help" / contact via email (no chat avail) so if you have an incorrect order or something is missing -- you're forced to send an email, and then wait over 24 hours to hear anything (if you hear back at all..) When the order is correct the food IS good -- but it really depends on getting the right combination -- In this instance they omitted the chipotle honey drizzle that accompanies the "Cowboy" salad is really the star of the meal-- so to see it substituted with some orange thick gross "dressing" (it was so thick -- I couldn't even use it.). I contacted the company thru email over a week ago, received an auto-generated response and then it was never followed up. Thankfully there are many other options in downtown Santa Monica & I'd recommend going there or only going to Mixt in person so you can watch them make the salad.

    First time coming here. Was thinking of getting a salad but went for the bowl! Quality ingredients and what's cool is you can see them make the food. Service was top notch with a cool dine in place. Will definitely come back

    What a great salad spot! A good hidden study spot if the coffee shops are full. Leif really helped out and speed up the line. he's a super good worker especially for only being here for two weeks. Anyways, really enjoyed my experience here, the ambiance is great.

Both areas are nice, however inside, the noise level is a wee bit louder, however I haven't had any issues having a conversation with a friend. For those with sensitive ears, just sit outside. One can come here for coffee. Free refills! You can ask for a cup ( their cups are glass), but the coffee doesn't stay warm long.

When I came back he said I owed him $15. I showed him my receipt but he claimed he watched me walk away and so validation doesn't count anymore. I refused to pay for his demand and he told me I am banned from the parking lot. He is on crack. Shame because tartine will lose clients because of this dudes behavior. I used to go several times each week but I can't deal with this guy making up rules depending on whether he likes you or not.

    Where do I begin?…read more This was my last day in the beautiful land of California, and before heading out to catch my flight back to the South, I was craving Mediterranean food. I've been on a bit of a Mediterranean kick lately, thank you Cava for that. First impressions? The environment was beautiful. Seriously photo worthy. As a photographer, I couldn't help but admire the architecture inside and around the area. It had that visual vibe that made me excited to be there. There was no line when we walked in, so I quickly landed on my order: the Crimson Chicken Wrap (white meat) with a side of babaganoush, and the Chicken Shawarma (dark meat) with a side of fries. Everything sounded solid. But then... we waited. And waited. Over 30 minutes passed. In that time, about 3 to 4 other customers came in, placed their orders, got their food, and left. Meanwhile, we were still waiting on two of their more popular items. I tried to be patient, gave them the benefit of the doubt, until I saw someone who arrived 25 minutes after us get their Chicken Shawarma within 10 minutes of walking in. Given that we were on a time crunch with other places to be, the delay was beyond frustrating. We ended up speaking with the manager and shared our concerns, but by that point, the experience was already soured. Now for the food. I wanted to like it. The first bite had promise, but after that, it just felt like I was eating out of obligation. For the price point, the service delays, and the lackluster flavor, I honestly can't recommend the entrées I tried. The coffee? It seemed to be good, but not enough to bring me back just for that. I wish I could give Crimson a stronger review, especially because the space itself is stunning. But in the end, it was a case of style over substance. I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5, though I did walk away with some great photos, at least.

We will definitely go back to this place next time we visit the area!

Yes…read moreyou can think of this place as a variation of Panda Express, but I think the food here is much better and healthier. Chef and owner Bryant Ng was formerly the opening chef at Nancy Silverton's Mozza and has been nominated for the James Beard Award multiple times including Best Chef: California in 2022 and Best Chef: West in 2017 for his formerly acclaimed restaurant Cassia in Santa Monica (now closed). [Parking]: Free 1-hour customer parking behind the restaurant. [Atmosphere]: Cute decor and the restaurant was playing funky music in the background. [Menu]: Customers build their own bowls with 2 bases (6 options), 2 vegetables (4 options), and 1 main (8 protein options or 1 vegetable instead) for $12.99. The back side of the laminated menu also lists all allergens for each item. Top Yelp highlighted items include Orange Mango Chicken (main), Chow Mein (base), Cold Noodles (base), Almond Roca Chocolate Chip, and Scallion Garlic Cheese Toast. The best-selling dish at Cassia, chickpea curry, is also available on the menu as main. *** Bowl (bases - chow mien + cold noodles, vegetables - cucumber salad + chopped kale salad, and main - charred honey chicken - $12.99): Generous portion with enough to split between lunch and dinner. I really liked the kale salad as it tasted creamy. The cold noodles were not too spicy with just a tiny hint of numbing spice. Honey chicken and chow mein were good. The order also came with green sauce and sweet & sour sauce. The green sauce was absolutely amazing (creamy and spicy) and the sweet-and-sour sauce was not as good as the green sauce but still good. *** There is no question in my mind that Jade Rabbit is one of the best Chinese American restaurants in LA and Orange County. I want to come back and try some of their other items on the menu next time I am in Santa Monica.

They offer several dining options including signature bowls, flexible combos that you can build to your liking, and items that you can order a la carte. I've only made my own combos, which come with two bases, two vegetable options, and a main entree. Between the fried rice and chow mein, I prefer the fried rice though I thought both bases were good. I also liked the cucumber salad and the Chinese broccoli (though I did not detect any significant spiciness in the latter). The Sichuan chicken does come with a bit of kick, and while I liked it I did find it to be on the saltier side last time I tried it. I found the service to be friendly during both of my visits, and when I compare the cost to the quality of the food, I find Jade Rabbit to be a great deal.
