Mendocino Farms | Sherman Oaks

congratulations to mendocino farms on their brand new sherman oaks location!! mendo, which started in downtown los angeles, has now expanded to the westside, mid-wilshire area, and now the valley!

mendo is my absolute favorite place to eat lunch in downtown! i have been going to mendo when there was only one location (california plaza)! i am so happy that there’s more than one location now! (3 in downtown alone). this place is a major hot spot for lunch! i will admit that i eat here at least 3 times a week. sometimes i’ll come here for lunch and then also order for dinner if i stay late at work.

anyway, this is my favorite sandwich place and here are my favorite things to order:

  • kurobuta pork belly banh mi – my absolute favorite sandwich (in the world)
  • “not-so-fried” chicken (as a wrap) – i choose the bbq sauce but hear the buffalo sauce is very good.
  • prosciutto chicken – on the lighter side.
  • market roasted vegetables salad – great salad. roasted veggies, nuts, grape tomatoes with a basil pesto-balsamic vinaigrette… i die.
  • curry cous cous – delicious! lovely kick to it.

we were so lucky to have been invited to the pre-grand opening of sherman oaks location! this is a great spot since it is on ventura blvd!

soda fountain is always fun. the pork belly banh mi is a must. a little twist on a traditional vietnamese sandwich… epic.
