| - Ate here for the first time last week. I have been eating at Fast Fresh Foods for years, so was already familiar with the concept - fresh sandwiches and/or salads made to order, and quite like the options for fresh, healthy lunches.
I opted for a salad. I liked that the Sandwich Box offers a few salad toppings not offered at other salad places in the Core - namely, lentils and cabbage.
The salads are priced by weight though - which makes it very difficult to know how much your salad is going to cost until you get to the cash (since somone else is making it for you). I found that the person who served me really skimped on the toppings I chose. Also found that some of the toppings weren't cut/chopped appropriately for a salad - for example - the red onion was in thick, full rings - since I do not normally eat my salad with a knife and fork (especially take-out salads), I found this to be inconvenient. The almonds were not chopped, but rather were whole - but that is really a matter of personal preference.
My biggest issue though, is that the place is chaotic and an ordering nightmare. The salad counter is tiny - there were two other people ordering at the same time as me, and none of us could see the toppings on offer, since we were all blocking each other's view of the counter. There is no posted list of toppings.
My husband wanted to order one of the pre-made sandwiches, but couldn't figure out whether to pay first or order first. And even after he did pay & order, it was unclear where he should pick up the order from.
The food was good, but I think I prefer the much easier and straightforward Fast Fresh Foods on Yonge.
