Original Chopshop - Phoenix

The food is usually tasty and the service is typically good at this restaurant. However, today was a disappointment due to issues with the A/C, making it uncomfortably hot inside. The lack of consideration for acoustics also made the noise level unbearable, leading to people shouting and causing headaches. To make matters worse, they no longer offer their popular watermelon ice tea, which was a favorite for my girlfriends and me. Although AJs still serves it. The menu has always been pricey and parking has always been a hassle, but now it's not worth it with all the additional issues. I prefer not to sweat while eating, and the lack of parking spaces only adds to the frustration.

I ordered the Brekkie wrap and the Power Greens juice. I would give both 5 stars! The ingredients were fresh and the taste was superb! The service was outstanding and I waited less than 5 minutes for my take-out order. The location had great parking, making it easy to get in and out of the parking lot.

Vegetarian options: All the dishes could easily be customized to be meat-free or substituted with tofu. Parking: Plenty of options and convenient access off 32nd street. Dietary restrictions: I appreciated how easy it was to customize each dish, including the smoothies, to accommodate dietary restrictions.

ChopShop is one of my go-to spots for healthy, convenient meals. Always good service in person and on the phone. I love the variety of choices- The bowls are my favorite for lunch or dinner. I often take out but they have really nice seating indoor and outdoor.Food: 5/5

Nice location near the hiking trail with outdoor patio and clean indoor environment. Clean bathrooms. Plenty of available seating. The musical ambience was new agey alternative rock, like Peter Gabriel. Ordered Teriyaki Chicken Bowl and Turkey Sandwich. The sandwich was good but underwhelming. The Teriyaki bowl was better but the rice was slightly underdone (although some people prefer that). As advertised, the food is healthy, and the refreshing variety homebrewed teas certainly contributes to the dining experience.Incidentally, the Thai Vegan Salad was the best item on the menu, but has recently been removed.Parking: Sometimes difficult to find parking.
