Went here for lunch on a weekday and this place was PACKED. While the set up is kind of confusing, the staff will gladly help you along if you look bewildered (like I surely did).
I got the Crunchy Apple Almond salad. It was OK. I like the build your own salad concept, but thought that the ingredients in this salad just werent special. The chicken was a little too similar to what you'd find on a salad at Wendy's. Average salad, although next time I'll be sure to build my own and get wild. Serves me right for playing it safe my first time.
I also got a cup of the Tomato Basil soup. It was just OK as well. Very tomatoey with almost no basil flavor.
So, a mediocre lunch place would be fine with me, although I felt that the items were overpriced. My lunch came to over $12, without a drink. If I'm spending that much I'll forgo the so-so ingredients of Hello Bistro and stick with Oishii Bento or Nellies.
