Haven’t eaten here. In order to do so, you must first answer your phone. It’s the very first of customer care. Learn to pick up the phone instead of an idiotic messenger system. Good luck

First clue should have been that the place was 100 percent empty on a Saturday night. Maybe it's more of a lunch place, I don't know.The sweet potatoes were so dehydrated, like they had been sitting around all day.The Broccoli should be served warm, soggy and cold broccoli just doesn't do it for me.I opted for the Braised Beef because the Steak option is also served.... ColdThe cauliflower rice and braised beef was ok.For a drink I ordered and Arnold Palmer (iced tea + lemonade) somehow that was also disappointing

The Avo Toast at Lemonade in Irvine, CA was an absolute delight for my taste buds. Each bite was a harmonious blend of creamy, perfectly ripe avocados and artisanal toasted bread. The avocados were generously spread, and the seasoning was just right, creating a flavorful and satisfying dish. It's a must-try for avocado enthusiasts, and it left me craving more. Avo toast perfection! #LemonadeIrvine #AvoToastDelight

I remember when Lemonade blew up and was hyped up a few years ago, but I just never got the chance to try it until now. The aesthetics of the interior was minimalistic and clean. When I got there, it was pretty empty with only me, my boyfriend, and one other couple. Service was okay. I ordered the chicken pesto mozzarella and I was only planning to eat half of the sandwich but ended up finishing it because it was pretty good! I do have to say it is a little pricey, but it was worth the try. I do see myself possibly coming back to try other items on the menu if the opportunity rises.

Everything you'd expect from Lemonade: great tasting food, the place was really clean and had a nice cali vibe, and the workers there were really nice! All their lemonade flavors are also worth trying so I can't wait to come back and try a different one :)

I just don't understand why the portions are so tiny. I don't feel like this is right. They measured the smallest piece of braised beef and then charged me extra for my plate because I wanted "hot sides".. like what..?I mean watching her assemble my $21 plate was gut wrenching i nearly walked out after seeing the total. Aside from that the food is bomb.. absolutely delicious. I did just spend way more than I was comfortable with. Service is whatever. No complaints.

Great grab and go healthy option. Lemonade is a chain based in La that offers a wide variety of "healthy" food. From their famous pineapple chicken string bean to their avocado tomato salad and various kale salads. There's something for everyone here. They also have indulgent items like truffle Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes or mashed potatoes. Their braised beef is also delicious. As far as lemonades. My go to is their cucumber mint lemonade. They are all on the sweeter side so you can definitely mix it in with more water to water it down
The food wasn’t fresh. Everything on the hot table looked so old. The Mac and Cheese had no flavor, our 3 yo who loves m&c wouldn’t even eat it.Staff had no enthusiasm what so ever and I felt like I was bothering him. The manager on duty was busy cleaning the dining area.. overall I will not return to this location. The place is a ghost town, that should have been a dead giveaway.

Got a poke plate with mango Thai sauce, brussel shavings with fig and roasted veggie sides. This was take out so only rating the food. This was a fantastic pescatarian lunch. The sauce was very flavorful and the poke seemed fresh. It was served in heirloom red rice which was a nice unique twist. I'll try them again to taste more from their very interesting menu.Vegetarian options: They seem to have many veggie options.

Order DoorDash delivery from lemonade.I always love their drinks. They have a variety of different ice, teas and lemonades and I like to mix them so that it's not too sweet. I like the vegan cauliflower sandwich. It's very delicious. However, I am not a huge fan of the housemaid chips, they are a little hard. I absolutely love the buckwheat soba noodle edamame salad. Super delicious. The only criticism is, I wish there were more vegan options in general.

Build your own plate: choose a protein, base, 2 sides, and a sauce Salmon (protein) 8.85/10- pretty good, very fresh, grilled sustainable salmon from the Atlantic. Unfortunately it's not seasoned though, so there's a bit of a lack of flavor however the sauce and sides really complement it and give it flavorHeirloom red rice (base) 2.12/10- tbh I did not like this as it tasted a bit like overcooked rice and lacked flavor. The color was cool thoSweet potato hash 7.16/10- complements the salmon very well and definitely added a sweet flavor to the meal. I also really like how it has pepper in it, as it gives a subtle spicy flavor. It's supposed to be a hot dish though and it was served cold unfortunately, I think it would be really good if it was warmWhite truffle Mac and cheese 8.86/10- this side is so good omg, the truffle flavor is evident but it's not overbearing making it perfect. The white cheddar is so delicious and rich in flavor which complements the truffle flavor making a perfect balance with th two. Incredibly creamy as well. Sweet Chile ponzu sauce 8.45/10- this was great with the salmon, and as a ponzu fan I really enjoyed this sauce. There wasn't really an evident flavor of chile however, it was moreso just a sweet ponzu sauce. Still great though. The service was actually terrible. There was only one other person in line besides me, who was also in front of me, however the service was incredibly rude. I have not had lemonade in a very long time, and to have been treated poorly is a huge disappoint. I was deciding on what sides to get as they have so many, and was told "it's really not that hard". Mind you, I only looked at the sides for not even a minute. When I asked to know about the seasonal items, I was told "it's on the menu" however the menu is only displayed in the front of the store and I was in line. I've honestly haven't had such a bad restaurant experience like this and was shocked. I was also incredibly nice before, I asked how the worker was doing and everything. I genuinely did not even want to continue with my order based off the terrible treatment. To pay $20 for a lunch, and be talked to so poorly and rudely is truly astonishing. Unfortunately this is one of the few healthy places next to my work, so I may come back but I was incredibly surprised by their poor service. The food itself was alright, and I do like how it's a bit healthier and seasonal, which is why I'm giving the business 2 stars for their food alone. This was truly the worst service I've experienced, and they have lost a customer.

You pretty much make your own dish. I forgot what I got, but it was really good I think I got the chicken, My boyfriend got a full plate, he loved it. Its a little pricey, but that Irvine.
