49 Best Salad Restaurants in Irvine

“Ate at the Jamboree location in Tustin and cashier Ali was courteous, kind, knowledgeable and very helpful in helping us understand the menu options. Even offered a couple samples to make sure we ordered something we’d enjoy. Great customer service!“

“had the ahi tuna salad. it was awesome.“

“I can't believe someone gave them one star. Luna Grill has excellent service, the place is always packed, and it's VERY clean. I am a mail carrier and I come here often. I am also deaf. Alex, who has served me many of times, wears a shirt with sign language on it, which really touched my heart. He didn't know I was deaf, but the gesture really touched me. Paige took my order today, and what I've noticed about her is that she's ALWAYS smiling. Actually, they all always greet the customers with a smile. Those giving one star must stay angry all the time, because this place is top notch. This is UC Irvine 35. Let me say this. The place is so popular that by noon, it's packed. They have Uber Eats workers, Door Dash carrying dozens of orders out. So many orders that the Uber Eats worker needs a buggy. I pause and take my lunch early to avoid the lunch crowd, and they STILL get the orders out fast.

P.S. someone put in their bad review that Luna grill was out of water cups and that they only received a small portion of the chicken. Look over the rice. Look at the rice where the trail of chicken ends. You can tell there was chicken sitting on top of that rice. Try again.“

“The sandwiches are amazing! My daughter got the salad - it was fresh and tasty but the sandwiches are really the stars of this place. The gentleman, I assume the owner, is VERY friendly and kind.

It's in an office park - there are a few tables inside and a few under some umbrellas outside. Not too far off the highway so I recommend you give them a try if you're nearby!“

“I went in today and Izzy helped me out with my bowl, she was very patient and understanding as it was my first time back in a while. Overall the staff was super friendly, the store was very clean and the portions are great! Will be coming back again soon!“

“We got the chicken pita and beef/lamb pita. The pita was really soft and warm. Everything else was sauced/seasoned very well. Definitely coming back for the food.

Cashier was super helpful and attentive. Seating area is kept clean and tidy.“

“My friends and I went on Friday, July 10, at around 8-9. We were greeted with the most nicest and gorgeous hostess; after checking us in she complimented us and called us beautiful. So nice!!!! She was a dark-skinned woman with curly hair. Our server was also nice, the food was just okay. When we were leaving, I asked her for some mint chocolate, and she was so helpful and gave us some. She was absolutely wonderful!! The absolute best!!!“

“Kimberly was amazing! She was friendly, patient, and made taking our order quick and easy. She had a great attitude, answered our questions, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.

The food was delicious, and the overall experience was excellent. Great customer service .I’ll definitely keep coming back. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for great food and even better service!“

“Better than Halal Guys. Yeah I said it. Go taste for yourselves.“

“A bit hidden. Plenty of parking.

Quiet Wednesday night but still busy. Did not wait long to be seated. Waiter was welcoming. Italian restaurant. Food was great, better compared to Olive Garden. Affordable.

Restroom was clean.“

“Fast and friendly service. I like the current loyalty points system- so much easier than hunting for an app, login info, rewards, erc. All you need is your phone number. I got the protein bowl with chicken and it was excellent. Nice and bright inside too. They do school fundraisers which brought me out to lunch today, and the experience was well worth it.“

“I eat here a couple of times a week. It's so healthy and delicious. The Poke burrito rocks!“

“The soup, the salad, the sandwich, and John along with all the service team!!“

“Very accommodating! Delicious! Beautiful plates and great service! Emily was great!“

“First time visitor for last minute birthday treats. The selection was beautiful, pastries and donuts were amazing! But my review is for the service… There was a thoughtful young man who noticed I had my baby in one hand so he helped gather what I wanted instead of making me fumble with the display cases and then walked my coffees out to the car. He single-handedly made this mom feel seen and supported. If you’re looking for delicious pastries and people who care - this is the place ◡̈

PS - ham and cheese croissant is 10/10“

“Great vibes, great service, especially Daniel! the food for brunch, lunch and Dinner is what keeps us thinking of our next visit !this place is about to go off!“

“I’ve been working across the street for years now and this is the first time I’ve ever tried this place. I ordered the supreme tuna sandwich and the chicken rice soup and it was amazing! And the service was Incredibleas well. The guys in there were so nice and so accommodating I really recommend this place for lunchtime, especially when you’re limited to an hour lunch. The guys are so quick and timely to prepare your lunch for you, and really know how to help you out when you’ve never been there before. I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place“

“Exelente servicio y muy deliciosas pizzas 🍕“

“I was born to eat pizza and this is by far the best I've eaten globally. From the aesthetic appearance, to the texture to the taste, it is dotted to the T.

I came at lunch hour and it was a bit of a wait, but no worries should be expected. More importantly, thanks to the cooks and one's making it all possible.

I'll be back, tomorrow.“

“Robata Wasa is a gem — cozy vibes, perfectly grilled skewers, and staff who clearly love what they do. Every dish felt thoughtfully made and beautifully presented. Highly recommend for anyone craving great Japanese grilling in a warm setting. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Had an amazing family dinner with my sisters here . The Food was delivered quickly and was delicious. Carrot cake is fabulous we ordered the 2 half garlic chicken and full rack family meal which comes with your choice of pasta , salad bread sticks. Added their yummy mashed potatoes also bbq salad with delicious dressing my favorite.“

“👍🍕🍕🍺Great pizza with a vet & first responders discount!“

“My firm has been a tenant here for several years and in two different suites. Office rent and ancillary costs are very reasonable, leasing office staff is always helpful and accommodating, and any needed repairs are addressed promptly. 10/10 would highly recommend!“

“Love the Monster! Turkey, ham, roast beef, swiss and avocado! yum!“

“Only ever tried the Fire Fries and this is my first time ordering here so I don't know if this is normal for these fries or if I got a weird batch but these are SPICY. I am able to down a pack of Buldak x2 Spicy without a problem so when I say the Fire Fries are spicy, I mean it hurts like the fries hate you, burns it's way down, and while the tongue eventually settles down, my gut is bubbling and it's so painful, I can barely sit straight. Delicious!“

“Come try it out! Santa Barbara Char and Chicken Club are my all time favorite“

“Love this place! Food is always great. Made fresh. Staff are always nice and give great service. My favorite thing to get here is the TUNA MELT! I am not a fan of tuna at all until I had theirs. There are times where they will run out because they make a certain amount of tuna salad for the day. Not complaining about that, I just know that it was made fresh that day, so I definitely love it! So order ahead by calling in. If you're not a fan of it at all, give any of their sandwiches a try and ask them to add that chipotle sauce, changes everything, you will thank you me later. If you are in the Irvine area, give them a try!

Kid-friendliness: They have baby seat chairs for dine-in and kid friendly items as well.

Parking: Since this is a small cafe surrounded by business establishments it will be difficult to park but it is fortunate that you do not have to pay for any parking. Usually people come to just pick up and go so parking isn't usually a problem.“

“First time at Jan's Health Bar. Needed a low carb bite after a couple of flights. Got a half tuna salad and half side salad upon recommendation of the nice dude at the register. He even gave me a sample of either the tuna or chicken salad before I made my decision. Garlic herb vinaigrette is a unique flavor (and color!) for a dressing, but the lightness goes well on a salad. Tuna sandwich is pretty decent, and I like that the tuna isn't overwhelmingly mayo-y like most other salads. Also, I don't even like avocado but I didn't mind it on this sandwich. It works really well with the texture of the tuna salad.

But what brings this to a 5 star rating for me is the music. They've been playing classic rock on the speakers. Went through the Beatles, Steppenwolf, Neil Young (Heart of Gold, of course), and I was just rocking out to For Whom the Bell Tolls as of writing this. So, nice job Jan's Health Bar. Good stuff.“

“I come here all the time for lunch and absolutely adore both Iris and Stephanie! These ladies smash the lunch rush every time I'm in and I appreciate them putting up with all my silly requests! Thank you both so much for all your help and patience! It is so so appreciated:))“

“Best Cobb salads!!! Plus free shakes on your half birthdays! 😀“

“I have been coming to this location for quite some time, and while I was disappointed to find out that my favorite Kalua Pork Bowl is no longer on the menu, Bianca completely turned my experience around.

She recommended a similar dish, and I ended up loving it! Bianca is always welcoming, friendly, and has a smile that makes every customer feel valued. Her knowledge of the menu is outstanding, and she's always happy to answer questions and make great recommendations.

What impressed me even more was watching her help her coworkers while keeping up with taking orders and delivering food to guests, including me. She truly goes above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely cares about providing excellent customer service.

Every time I visit, Bianca consistently provides an exceptional experience. Employees like her are the reason customers keep coming back. She absolutely deserves recognition—and in my opinion, a well-earned raise!

Thank you, Bianca, for always making every visit such a positive one. Keep up the amazing work!“

“I was a patient at Hoag Irvine. For lunch I decided to have delivery from this Japanese restaurant.
All I can say was that I'm glad I did.
The sushi was very tasty and fresh with nice size portions. I'll be back with friends minus the hospital stay.

Cheers“

“Great service and amazing food“

“Fresh Brothers always comes through and has a unique dough that at first I wasn’t sure about but is now my favorite local pizza place hands-down and although the delivery service may complicate things sometimes, they always make it right so I will forever be a customer of Fresh Brothers I wish I could give 10 stars as I know how important it is for local businesses. I think these people who leave one and two stars don’t understand the complexity of making a quality product and then having a outsourced company deliver it. They need to really step back and look at it in a different perspective and for the ones who just leave one stars pay no attention to that as they’re probably a bot or someone who’s angry at life and hates everything“

“Great 👍 n very patient servers! Always helpful.“

“Best clam chowder and Michael is awesome. Attentive and helpful.“

“If you're bulking, this place is your new friend. This is the kind of meal that makes you want to skip the shower and just eat 2500 calories of heavenly, saucy chicken and fries in one sitting. Great portions and sauce choices. If you’re not at the Buffalo Spot after your gym session you’re doing it wrong.“

“Wow. The most incredible service ever. Sharon was the kindest person ever and was incredibly helpful and went above and behind to ensure she delivered the best service. Honestly I would give the service 6/5 stars, Sharon took amazing care.
Well done to her and the team 👏“

“没事过来吃个牛排，味道很好，装修也不错，吃的很爽“

“Founded in 2012 and with locations nationwide, The Pizza Press wants you to "be newsworthy" by creating your own custom pizza/wings or selecting a signature pizza/salad and pairing with one of the many craft beers on tap. The restaurant theme is inspired by 1920s Americana newspaper which explains why their signature pizzas have names like "The Times" and "The Tribune".

We visited the Woodbridge location off Barranca Parkway for dinner after catching a movie at the AMC next door. The restaurant was busy and looked to be popular among local teenagers and families. There's also a playground conveniently located outside. We ordered the Publish Your Own (PYO) Pizza and topped it with fresh and premium ingredients like spicy red sauce, minced garlic, mozzarella, pepperoni, smoked ham, bacon, meatballs, mushrooms and jalapeños. Service was friendly and efficient. If you're a fan of the 'build your own pizza' concept and you've never been before, then it's time to check out The Pizza Press!“

“The pizza was excellent and the food quality was spot on. However, I have concerns that some employees may be misusing their positions to drive revenue in ways that raise questions. Revenue generated on certain days appears noticeably different from other days, and there seems to be a pattern that warrants attention. Law enforcement is reportedly monitoring the situation closely.

Even in the past, some of the highest-revenue days appeared to coincide with the presence of a particular individual (victim). While the quality of the pizza and the effort that goes into making it deserve recognition, the focus on generating revenue can sometimes overshadow the good work being done by the staff in delivering a great product.

My suggestion would be to check the top earning days and be sure to analyze it! Over the top earning day = presence of a victim

Loved the pizza!“

“I stopped by here this past weekend and was thoroughly impressed. I decided to try their new Korean Sweet and Spicy burger, and it was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with a bold, flavorful kick. Beyond the fantastic food, the dining area was spotlessly clean, and the staff provided excellent, welcoming service from start to finish. I really enjoyed the entire experience and highly recommend giving this new burger a try!“

“Very tasty. I enjoyed. Thanks“

“Very clean and welcoming place with a beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant is always well maintained, the tables are kept spotless, and the interior design is beautiful.

All of the staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. Service was fast, and everyone I interacted with was kind and welcoming. I would especially like to thank the lady who helped me during my visit (I believe her name was Yali). She was incredibly warm, patient, and attentive, and was always happy to help whenever I needed assistance.

Overall, a wonderful experience with excellent customer service. Highly recommended“

“Affordable menu, healthy dining options, tasty hamburger, and friendly service 👍“

“Guy is working the entire restaurant in Irvine on Barranca by himself today with a smile. Amazing, dude is amazing. I'm working harder today because of him.“

“Corner Bakery is one of those places that always feels warm and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy, casual, and perfect for everything from a quick breakfast to a relaxed lunch. The pasta dishes are especially comforting—fresh, flavorful, and portioned generously. Pairing them with their signature soups or salads makes for a really satisfying meal.

The staff is friendly and attentive, and food usually comes out quickly, even during busier hours. I also love that they have plenty of healthier options alongside the more indulgent ones, so it’s easy to find something for every mood.“

“Love the fresh food options 🙌“

“The server gave me a fresh bowl of water and I was so happy!🐕“
