| - Freshii can be a great, healthy lunch option, but there are some rules I've learned when it comes to ordering:
1) Custom order everything or it will be full of random sauces, rice and noodles.
2) Order a salad -They have a huge selection of toppings and you can pick what you like on the little sheet. I usually tick off a lot of the free toppings, and choose one or two extras. It's about $1.50 for each addition add-on of tofu or chicken, fresh fruit, cheese and nuts, so it can get pricey if you're not careful. A little tip for my vegetarian friends: chick peas, black beans and edamame are free - load up. Salads come with free pita bread.
2) Wraps - Order a wrap if you are really hungry. They are fairly big. Unfortunately, it's mostly full of rice (side note: why would you want rice in your sandwich?)
3) Stir fry - Like the wraps, the stir fry is essentially a container of rice with very few vegetables mixed in. This is disappointing because they have so much potential for a great custom order stir fry, but they're too cheap to make it work.
4) Soup - There are better places for noodle soup in Toronto.
5) Follow them on Twitter -They have some pretty good daily specials that you can mention. For example: "Free avocado if you mention this tweet!" Now that doesn't sound very exciting, but in Freshii world avocado costs $1.50.
Overall - A good place if you want a salad, but I'd go elsewhere if you want a sandwich/wrap/stirfry/soup.
