I have been going to this location at South Coast Plaza for 3 years and always have a great time quick and kind service. This past month I had the pleasure to meet Karchidi who's service goes above and beyond most restaurants I go to, even when I go for a quick break and a hello, Karchidi always greats me with such meaningful kindness and warmth it makes a whole lot of difference when she asks me about my day. I'll be looking forward to seeing you for lunch!!! read more

Sessions is great! Nice kid friendly spot with good food. My 5 year old loves the gromwich and the fries and I love the gringo burrito. The service was also friendly and attentive - Stephanie helped us out and she was so kind! I've had other great servers here as well. Definitely recommend! read more

We were looking for a casual sandwich spot to break up a long drive, and Yelp led us here. It's located in a giant mall next to a Macys so not exactly a cool scene, but easy parking and convenient for a quick bite. The girl at the counter was friendly, and brought free potato chips to our table which was appreciated. OG breakfast sandwich - good value at $10, but a bit bland - something like a fig jam would've been a nice kick to elevate it. Greatfella - this was solid, but we joked that it was a watered-down version of the Bay Cities godmother in Santa Monica (not bad, just not as substantial). I did like the softer bread though. We were interested in the breakfast burrito but turned off by the idea of a mint salsa - wish they had other options like a salsa verde or pico de gallo. The food here won't knock your socks off, but it's a great option for grabbing a quick lunch, and safe enough to satisfy picky eaters if catering an office party or birthday party. read more

This restaurant is located at Southcoast plaza next to Macy's. Super cute and quaint restaurant, very clean, and friendly staff. My friend and I tried nearly everything on the Happy Hour menu. They were all delcious but the classic grilled cheese with tomato soup was soooo comforting. Also had the lavender blueberry drink which was great. Overall a really great place to grab lunch. Will come by again! read more

Sessions was such a great experience! The burgers were seriously so good, and the two girls working were incredibly nice and welcoming. They even gave us extra fries, which was such a nice surprise! Great food, great service, and an overall awesome experience. Definitely recommend checking out Sessions! read more

I tried the crunchy chicken sandwich and rosemary fries with adobo sauce this time around! Chicken wasn't as crispy and the coleslaw kinda carries the whole sandwich. It's okay for the price. Rosemary fries were small and adobo sauce is good for those not into sweet flavors. read more

If you're shopping at South Coast Plaza, Sessions West Coast Deli is a great spot to stop for a meal. You can enter through Macy's or from the outside, which makes it convenient either way. Based on what other reviews mention, it's not necessarily a quick stop, but it's a good meal that's worth the time. (I usually order ahead, and the wait time tends to be around 15 minutes). My favorites are the Meddock Melee, the Spicy Crispy Chicken, and the Thai Chop Salad. Definitely a solid option when you need a break from shopping. read more

I'm thankful for trying this place during happy hour because the food here was delicious and the service was great. We have decided to buy some items on the happy hour menu and wow they are tasty. I would 100% recommend the korean chicken tenders due to the seasoning/sauce. I would also recommend the pineapple ginger tonic because its so refreshing and gives that zing taste in a good way. I prefer the burger over the chicken sandwich but I got to say, they both are the type to drop sauce every bite if you like them that way. Overall, I enjoy the vibe and food from this place. 5/5 stars I would come again. single single and rosemary fries 3.5/5 pineapple ginger tontic 4/5 korean chicken tenders 4.5/5 spicy crispy crunchy chicken 3/5 read more

I stopped by Sessions West Coast Deli inside Macy's at South Coast Plaza during a recent shopping trip in Costa Mesa, and it quickly became my new go-to spot in the mall. Has that perfect laid-back California surf vibe without feeling stuffy. It's ideal for a quick lunch or even a happy hour wind-down while you're at the Plaza. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient -- exactly what you want when you're on a shopping schedule. Staff were helpful with menu recommendations, and everything came out fresh and hot. I loved that they handle the busy crowd smoothly with good counter service and dine-in options. read more

Loved this spot since it opened in South Coast Plaza. Not sure if I caught them on a bad day but seems like they've watered down some of their menu items. The Meddock Melee sandwich used to come on this great artisan squaw bread that resembled a square ciabatta bread. It had great bite and crispy corners that added texture. Now it comes on a much flimsier roll similar to the 'Cheesecake Factory' brown bread they sell in the grocery aisle. Sliced turkey also feels like a lower quality cut. It used to have texture and now it tastes like thin sliced /water infused prepackaged grocery turkey. Rosemary fries used to be slightly thicker, super crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Now they're a lower quality shoe string fry that's on the dry side. Maybe they're between suppliers? But if these are cost cutting measures, the difference is very much palpable. read more

Good quick lunch spot in south coast that won't break the bank. Meatball sub came with dipping sauce and half salad/sandwich and soup combo was pretty generous. About $50 fo two people. Casual vibe. Full bar. Some TVs. Indoor an outdoor seating. Order at counter and they bring out your food. Cute and modern vibes. Wished they had more soup offerings beyond tomato and broccoli cheddar read more

We were at the mall yesterday so stopped by Sessions West Coast Deli for a quick bite. I got my favorite dish: Thai chicken salad. They changed the recipe a bit and do the roast chicken now instead of grilled chicken for the salad. It was still good. I like it that Sessions use the nice and better mixed greens instead of just the plain lettuce. Hubby had the burger and he liked it. Stepped out for a few minutes while waiting for the kitchen to prepare our foods. When I saw my salad on the table and came back in, his burger was gone! Yes, it disappeared in no time. :) read more

For being attached to South Coast Plaza, this place is somewhat unique - the layout, the food and the service. It's a break from the norm. Good food, good servings, flat screens, great staff. Fairly loud though, but everything else is nice. read more

Service here is the best. I personally order the Thai wrap with extra chicken most of the time but their burger is actually pretty darn good. Karchidi made the visit, a great experience. Service was really something to rave about. Jade took my order and was super nice and made my day. Really great spot for good food and service. read more

Sessions West Coast Deli at South Coast Plaza is a regular stop for me, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Esther for making every visit better. She's warm, attentive, and genuinely goes out of her way to make sure your order is exactly right, even during the lunch rush when things get hectic. She remembers little details and always greets you with a smile, which makes a big difference when you're grabbing food between errands at the mall. I love the ambiance as well. On top of the great service, the food itself never disappoints -- fresh ingredients, generous portions, and the kind of sandwiches that make you want to come back. But it's Esther's hospitality that really elevates the experience. She's the kind of employee that makes you loyal to a place. If you're at South Coast Plaza and craving a great sandwich, ask for Esther, you won't be disappointed! read more

Today we stopped off at Sessions West Coast Deli for a late lunch or early dinner. They have a select number of sandwiches and burgers. We had French fries, a cheese burger with avocado on brioche, and a margarita flatbread pizza. The poblano soup was also delicious. It reminded me of a tortilla soup. They had limited seating and bottled/canned drinks. It was quick and reasonably priced. It was located just outside of the Southcoast plaza. The service was helpful and not overly friendly. It had a kind of a modern vibe to it for a fast food place. read more

I love Sessions ! The meddock melee always hits the spot, they add herbs to their fries and it's delicious. They bring your food out directly to you and it's a very causal setting It's cute for if you're feeling a sandwich that feels fresh and located in south coast and very convenient. You can get your steps in or shop after ! read more

Everything here is so good, but PLEASE take out the mint in your salsa's. This was a new addition from like a month ago, but it tastes so weird eating it with your burritos. read more

The service staff was super nice. Walked in and was welcomed right away. We got the single signal and perfect patty. Both had great flavor. I'm not a big shoestring guy, but that's okay. Tried the Korean tenders. They were mid, too much breading, and lacked depth. But it was 7/3, and I was sitting outside. How are you about to be mad at that? read more

*Chicken plobano soup discontinued* The dine-in experience has been remarkable each visit. I love the music and the atmosphere. However, service has fluctuated due to recent hiring. I love the ladies who work in the morning who have been here since the start! All my concerns have been addressed to management, who has performed admirably during this holiday season. Overall, the business is thriving. $6 for small tomato soup as a snack, worth it!! This spot is a go to, stop by bring your family and friends! The owner's occasional presence is a testament to the establishment's success, thank you for the reply Happy holidays I will be stopping by Irvine location! read more

Absolutely loved this matcha blueberry lavender latte! It tastes like a cozy stack of blueberry pancakes in a cup -- warm, comforting, and perfectly balanced. The sweetness is just right, allowing the matcha and blueberry flavors to shine without being overpowering. The lavender comes through beautifully at the end with a subtle floral finish that makes every sip unique. A perfect balance of earthy, fruity, and lightly sweet flavors! Thank you for your fantastic service Karchidi! :) read more

Pretty convenient location. Similar in menu to other locales but maybe a bit cooler a vibe rather than an afternoon sandwich shop. Enjoyed their tuna melt, which is seemingly a staple at any of the branches you go to but maybe not quite as toasty or flavorful as the other locales. Also grabbed the flatbread special which was a lot of empty flatbread and not the most interesting combination of flavors, so wouldn't have gotten that again. Sitting at the bar waiting for the food was a nice experience, staff was friendly. read more

Was in town for a work trip and my friend ordered us food from here. She picked it up for us so I didn't get to see the store or anything, but dang this place has some delicious sandwiches. I ordered the Yogi sandwich and I really really liked it! The basil pesto sauce was delish with it. I do wish the chicken was a little more tender, but it was still pretty good! The sandwich by itself was almost $15, which to me is a little wild for a sandwich, but I get it. Definitely wish this place existed in Vegas because it was *chefs kiss*. read more

Got the Tuna Melt - had high hopes based on the pictures and description. It was ok - but definitely was not worth $19. It had a sugary sweet taste to it and I wasn't a fan / wouldn't order it again. Bread and the cheese on the sandwich were delicious and the vibe /decor in the restaurant was awesome. I'd try one of their spicy sandwiches if I go back. read more

We came here based off of all the good reviews and also it is less than 5 minutes from our home. This place is very clean and has a nice aesthetic This is a counter style restaurant where you pay and tip before getting any service or getting to see the food, which makes sense for a place that's super busy -- however there was quite literally zero people in the place at dinner time (7pm) Counter person was also the bartender : they were pretty apathetic, but answered our questions politely. I got the spicy chicken sandwich : the bread was stale and dry, I left more than half of the bread on the plate. The chicken was really flat and over cooked, but it did have a lovely flavor. The slaw was decent. NOT spicy in any way shape or form -- 4/10 My husband got the bacon western cheeseburger : again the bread was stale and dry. The beef was flattened, dry and way over cooked, there was barely any bbq sauce or honestly any flavor at all. -- 4/10 None of their sandwiches or burgers come with a side We ordered a Large Fry to share: large Rosemary French Fries. These were decently tasty and had a really nice crunch/flavor. Fries were not served with any kind of dipping sauce read more

We have been to many of their locations and they are excellent. This is definitely bigger and has more on the retail side. Great place to watch a game and eat good food. Tried the rocky balboa pizza. It was good but it's too sweet. Needs more protein. The kids had a burger and grilled cheese and they were both excellent. Always get the fries. Service was good read more

Reviews didn't disappoint! Had a lovely Mother's Day lunch outside with great food and service. My husband and I shared the Perfect Burger, rosemary fries and the wedge legend salad. The burger was delicious as were the fries. This restaurant offers a variety of signature sauces to fit with the different food selections. My daughter and her husband had the Greatfella, which as also super tasty and the bread was perfectly toasted. The service was also EXCELLENT. We were attended to frequently and got help with food selections. We were visiting from San Diego and I would absolutely come back again if near one of the Sessions West Coast Delis. read more

Visited this location with my family after shopping South Coast Mall. Place is located right next to Macys. Macy's has a sign directing you to the restaurant on the 1st Floor. Service here was awesome. The people were nice, helpful, and informative. Shouldn't go here if you have more than 4 people. Accommodating to kids. The food overall was good. I had the single burger, but wished I would have chose the perfect burger. Great spot for lunch! read more
