Wish they have a place in NV Summerlin! They place has great protein smithies and food! Especially after a workout or a healthy food option on the go… used to go here all the time and I was a realtor for a healthy food option!

Extremely Disappointed and Concerned as a Celiac Customer
I researched this place thoroughly after a long week of traveling and was excited to finally try it once I got to California. I have Celiac disease and eat strictly gluten-free. I found this spot on Yelp, saw they had gluten-free, vegan, and “healthy” alternatives, and even called ahead to confirm they had gluten-free bread. A young woman answered and assured me they did.
When I arrived, I ordered a sandwich and immediately requested gluten-free bread before saying anything else. I also got spring rolls for my boyfriend. While ordering, I asked the cashier if the place was fully vegan, as the menu was confusing — some sandwiches come with vegan bacon but other regular meats. She explained that only the bacon was vegan, and they’re trying to move away from meat. I thought, “Perfect, I love vegan food.”
As I started eating, I couldn’t believe how good the sandwich was — too good to be gluten-free. I went back and asked the cashier to double-check. She looked it up and realized she hadn’t charged me for gluten-free bread and had given me regular. I was absolutely shocked and immediately panicked. I’m Celiac. This is not a diet preference — this is my health.
She also mentioned the chips I had (chips and salsa-style) weren’t gluten-free either, because they contain soy sauce? I’ve never heard of soy sauce in tortilla chips — and I’m Mexican ! and regardless, that’s something your team should clearly disclose with people like me but I get it, I didn’t ask for it myself. Tortilla chips are naturally gluten free not sure why it’s a good idea to add soy sauce to it but I get it.
There was no refund offered, no sincere apology, just a casual, “Do you want another sandwich?” after I had just finished the one that will make me sick for days. Why would I want another sandwich after ingesting something dangerous to my health?
This was incredibly disappointing. I usually don’t eat out precisely because of this risk — and now I’ll be dealing with a full-blown reaction, rash, and days of discomfort, which will impact both my personal life and my ability to work. I truly hope the owner reconsiders staff training around food allergies and takes allergen safety more seriously — especially if you’re advertising yourself as a health-conscious restaurant.
I do not recommend this place to anyone with food allergies or intolerances. It’s simply not worth the risk.

Only two thin slices of turkey in the sandwich. It would have been good otherwise, but for the price it was incredibly disappointing.

Yech! Here's a solid example of people trying to seem vs. actually being. It's not enough to stick an avocado onto a logo and call yourself a healthy food place if the food is anything but.

A truly amazing place. Food is excellent. Great service. Che (store manager) is super nice and pleasant. Always happy to see him. He runs a wonderful store. Vini is a pleasure to deal with. Mauro is great. In general , the entire staff is wonderful. I highly recommend coming here.
One of my favorite spots to eat at whenever I visit Irvine. The food is great! It’s a beautiful area! Vegan options! ?

Super delicious turkey sandwich but the accompanying fruit cup is so tiny and makes the pricing seem extremely high for what you get. As a side, it’s way too small to justify cost.

I’m at this Jan’s almost every day throughout the year. I’ve been coming here for lunch for almost three years now (I’m shocked now that I’m reflecting)! And let me tell you it still impresses me how thoughtful, considerate, and efficient the staff here is.
It’s very apparent how tightly-knit they all are as a team. I mean, it’s a pretty small team and sometimes the lunch rush is looking pretty insane. Yet they always manage to greet me with a smile, by name and even remember my order!
The energy is great. But the energy wouldn’t stand on its own if the food wasn’t great as well. Jan’s is my absolute favorite place to grab a smoothie and lunch in all of OC. I leave here feeling satisfies and energized.
Overall, I think the quality of food and the quality of service along with the very beach-like energy keeps me coming back. I look forward to seeing everyone and getting my Kaleicious almost every day lol.
