    I love this place. I wish I could eat here everyday. I've tried at least 15-20 items on the menu and have not had any bad meals.

    Thai Coconut Chicken Bowl GF
    Hallie S.

    The Thai coconut chicken bowl from ChopShop will forever be my favorite meal. I love how light and healthy it is while still coming packed with flavor. I ALWAYS opt for the sweet potato hash as one of my sides as it's to die for. The sauce on this bowl is so yummy. The waitress accidentally made one of my sides the roasted veggies when I didn't want to order that, but they actually were really good so I didn't mind. Our food came out really fast which was great as we were in a hurry. I liked that this location has an all day breakfast menu so I'll have to check that out sometime. While the place was busy, there's so many tables and seating options we were fine for our small group for lunch.

    Thai coconut tofu bowl
    Vivian H.

    Awhile back, Yelp had a perk for their Elites try out Chop Shop over in Paradise Valley and I loved the food I tried back then, so tonight stopped in to have one of their protein bowls. My favorite and the only one I have ever tried was the Thai coconut chicken bowl. I had this again tonight but chose tofu instead of chicken tonight, I also had the veggies base, plus jasmine rice and potato has as second base. It comes topped with peanuts and cilantro. You order your food digitally and in about 5-10 minutes, food was ready! I took it home to eat and pretty much inhaled all of it! I love this dish and thought the price wasn't too bad. A pretty filling bowl that's fairly healthy was $12.50. I'll definitely be back (they have many locations throughout the Valley) when I'm in the mood to have some tofu/chicken that's cooked in a Thai coconut style, loaded with yummy veggies!

    Food was very average. Not a lot of chicken or anything else for that matter on the salad. I wouldn't choose to go back here.

    ChopShop is awesome. The people who work here are so nice and they seem to all love their jobs! Everything is made fresh and it's very healthy! The food is amazing. I love that it's not just plain old chicken and rice, they add vegetables, hummus, sauces, etc. The lemonade is amazing! I would highly recommend. Overall, I will definitely come back. I look forward to adding more to my review after visiting again!

    More than half the bowl was lettuce and tomatoes.

    The inside is really nice and clean but other than that I wasn't a fan. I ordered the glow up protien smoothie and a hot honey chicken bowl that came out to $22 which before trying them I thought were decently priced. The bowl had nice flavor but mostly consisted of lettuce & tomatoes & hardly any chicken or rice. The protien smoothie kind of just tasted like coconut milk and was extremely watery with chunks of protien in every sip. I didn't finish either of them.

    I had a great first experience here a week ago, the bowl was amazing, and I recommended it to friends and family. But when I went back for a pickup order, it was a completely different story. The steak was burnt, the sweet potatoes had a weird aftertaste, and the avocado was just a few tiny pieces. One of my chicken sides was almost empty. Really disappointing after such a strong first visit, seems like consistency is an issue.

    Good fresh food but the portion/size & the cost just didn't make sense for me. I'm all for healthy eating for a better lifestyle and I was looking for something light... but it wasn't enough for the amount $$ I spent! Service was great as the staff was super friendly & helpful with me make my choice. Had the Caesar Salad with Chicken & The Chicken Kale sandwich. Good eats prices like an entree, served up like it was a mini-appetizer. Good tasting healthy quality food but too $rich$ for me for what I got in return. I'd recommend it for those looking for healthier options, but I feel like other equivalent options are available & better priced at other places.

    Hot Honey Chicken Hummus Bowl, Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, and Acai Bowl
    Mario A.

    I LOVE the Original ChopShop -- it is my fav super healthy "fast food" eatery! I think the price points of each item are fair based on portion sizes and the quality of the food. I personally REALLLLY enjoy the Hot Honey Chicken Hummus Bowl, Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, and Acai Bowl w/ peanut butter and extra granola. This S Tempe location is a nice size, very clean, modern looking, the staff is friendly/helpful, and the grub is on point!

    I love a dog friendly patio!
    Mia N.

    Love this location because there's ample parking in the lot and a lot of seating both inside and out. Service was very friendly from the lady taking orders. My cousin loved the Balanced Bowl she ordered, which looked really healthy and filling Now for the not so great - the açaí bowl. I came here specifically because I was craving an açaí bowl and I read other reviews that said it was good here. Unfortunately, my açaí bowl was too melted. It was half melted when it arrived to the table and as I was eating it, it basically turned into açaí soup because it just didn't have that nice frozen consistency to begin with. So I enjoyed the flavor and the toppings but not the texture of the açaí portion of the bowl. I'd definitely eat here again, but next time I would try ordering a rice bowl instead. P.s. the patio is dog friendly, which I love

    Grilled tofu

    Menu is fantastic! Lots of healthy and creative options here! I will definitely be ordering again next time I'm in Az. The grilled tofu is to die for!

I got the bang bang shrimp and it was good (6/10). The problem that I have is the pistachio gin fizz was an absolute no! I am a HUGE fan of pistachio and gin so immediately I had to get his drink but it was beyond mediocre. Are we drinking only syrup??? My last complaint is the coconut tres leches dessert.... Do we actually know how to make tres leches or we just naming desserts however we want? Just curious. It came out super hot, steaming more like a molten cake. As a Hispanic woman, I was expecting a creamy moist cake to celebrate my graduation but this was not it as well. Last but not least if the bald manager with the orange shirt wants to eat in the back of the kitchen, not the problem I get it (I work at restaurants) HOWEVER shoving your two index fingers into your mouth to get your debris out was my last straw.

While the ambience is fairly simple, the overall experience is a positive one, especially once the food arrives. I ordered the lox and bagel and was impressed by how substantial the portion was. The lox was generously layered, with a large amount of arugula on top. The arugula appeared to be lightly dressed with olive oil, which added great flavor. While it did not fully align with my personal dietary preferences, it was well executed, and I would be happy to return to see if it can be adjusted. The dirty chai was another highlight in terms of flavor. It was well spiced and not overly sweet, which I appreciated. Although it was described as very hot when delivered, it arrived closer to lukewarm, but the taste itself was enjoyable. Service was efficient and attentive. The check was dropped off relatively early, which initially felt a bit quick, but our server continued to check in on us throughout the meal, creating a balanced and courteous experience. The fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent, and everything we ordered was well prepared. Parking in the area can be challenging, though the nearby parking structure behind Pedalhaus makes it more manageable. Overall, this is a reliable brunch option with strong portions, thoughtful flavors, and enough positives to make it a place I would gladly return to.

It was absolutely delicious and the best part of the dining experience. The BLTA (Bacon Lettuce Tomato Avacado) sandwich was way too heavy on the lettuce and the bread was quite hard, making it difficult to eat. It was moreso a handheld salad. Service was okay, though not especially attentive, as our water wasn't refilled. At the host stand there was some confusion when we arrived. She didnt realize we were standing there and then when my boyfriend asked a question about a menu item she didnt respond. Not sure if she was just not paying attention, the music was too loud, or didnt want to converse with us. Sort of awkward. Overall, the experience was mixed, but the butter cake French toast was delicious.

We popped in this particular Saturday morning while trouncing through the Tempe Festival of the Arts. There was a line (no surprise since it is ASU territory), but the layout of the line meant people brushing by you & getting too close. The guy who took our order was uncheerful & came across as "I don't want to be here; what do you want?" Not the best impression. We placed our order & were lucky enough to find a seat. There is a small patio on their south side; the light rail to their north. The guy who delivered our food was more friendly. The cinnamon roll was so dry, I swear it had been sitting out for a week -- and there was too much cinnamon. My sister's classic eggs benedict was unappetizing; the English muffin, too, was dry. So dry she practically needed a steak knife to cut into it. There's a Proof Bread shop just down the street. How Daily Jam can have such God-awful muffins is beyond me. The potatoes had no seasoning, she had to salt them -- and the salt & pepper shakers needed filling. My croque madame was edible, if simple. In short, there is absolutely no desire to visit Daily Jam again.

My husband and I found this place online, and it looked like a great spot for brunch. When we arrived, there was no one at the hostess stand, and it took quite a while for anyone to acknowledge us. When the hostess finally came over, we asked for a table for two. She immediately told us there was only outdoor seating available and didn't even mention that waiting for an indoor table was an option. Keep in mind, it was 110°F on a Sunday in Arizona. My husband had really been looking forward to trying this place, so we asked what was available and decided to stay. We were seated outside near the entrance. Shortly afterward, we watched the hostess tell other guests who arrived after us that indoor seating was available with only a 5-minute wait. Why wasn't that option offered to us? We absolutely would have waited. Unfortunately, the hostess's attitude and the way the situation was handled completely changed the experience for us. It left us feeling unwelcome, and we weren't able to enjoy our meal the way we had hoped. The food may have been fine, but customer service is a huge part of dining out, and this experience overshadowed everything else. Safe to say, we won't be returning. An unfriendly and dismissive environment is not something I'm interested in supporting.

    Let's start with the food: 5/5. I got the breakfast bowl and it was hands down the best breakfast…read morebowl I've ever had. It had duck bacon (was curious about this bc I'm not a fan of duck), turkey sausage, black beans, quinoa, egg, spinach and more. Somehow that entire medley was perfection when it comes to flavor.

Staff and service: 5/5 we brought our dog Tom who's a pretty big golden doodle and sometimes can get overly excited when he gets brought outside. But their staff was nice enough to give us a dog bowl with water for him and served his egg on a little to go box plate. It's a little stressful with Tom at times and they made it so much easier.

We were welcomed with a friendly smile. We explained that the other half of our party was on their way & the host promptly prepared our table... mostly. There were small plates set for each of us, but only one roll-up/napkin (for 4) & no drink menu. Minor details, but it kinda set the tone for the service experience. Now listen... the spot itself is cute. Once we actually got service, our waiter was cool. It just took forevvverrrrr & I ended up having to request cutlery after food was served. To be fair, it was busy, but there also seemed to be plenty of wait staff, so I'm not exactly sure where the disconnect was. Food-wise: the spinach artichoke dip was definitely the table favorite. My caprese panini was ok, it was sadly lacking pesto which feels a little criminal for a caprese situation. Our friends loved the fancy French toast & I was absolutely there for the prickly pear mimosas The entire brunch honestly felt like it was one dropped plate away from becoming a sitcom episode. One poor new waiter dropped a plate on the floor, then later knocked glasses off the rack above the bar & shattered a couple right next to guests sitting there. I genuinely felt bad for him because you could tell he was having a rough shift. That said, I really appreciated that they acknowledged the long wait & gave us a discount without us having to ask. That kind of accountability goes a long way. Overall, I'd still go back & give them another try because the atmosphere was fun, the vibe was there, and I can see the potential. Every restaurant has an off day -- especially during a busy brunch rush.
