| - I lived in NYC for a couple of years and healthy soup, salad, and sandwich places are available everywhere for lunch. I always complain how there aren't those quick salad places here in Vegas so I was seriously excited to see this place open up not too far from my office. Additionally, my younger brother had recommended it to me. He had tried the Honey Cilantro Carnitas sandwich and claims they make better carnitas than a Mexican restaurant.
While I'll give this place another chance, I am initially not a fan. I looked at the menu online and was wowed by their salad selection and the affordable prices! I try to eat really healthy during the week and I know that salads aren't always as healthy as they seem so I searched for their nutrition information, which was nowhere on their website. I headed there anyway on 3/21/16 and decided to ask the staff.
When I got there, it was mayhem. It was super busy with a large lunch crowd. I approached the line and a friendly staff member asked me if I had ever been there before. When I said no, he explained the menu to me. I asked him for the nutrition and allergen information and he told me they would have it at the front of the line, after I order. I asked, "after I order?" to which he said, "let me go get it for you." He came back and said that he was unfortunately mistaken and that they do not have this information. What?! Okaaay..... so I ordered the Asian Citrus Chicken salad, as Asian style salads are usually a healthy option anywhere. The half size was $5.59 and the full size was $7.59 and I opted for the full size, very happy with the fact that I would be having lunch for under $8.
They rush you through the line. When I ordered my salad, I was told okay, it will be at the front of the line for you. I figured they would let you customize as they build your salad? I told the guy please leave off the wonton strips before I headed to the front of the line. I don't know the size difference between the half and the full size but wow the full size portion is small. If your salad is to go, they put it in a compartmentalized plastic container and just fill 3 of the compartments, leaving the 4th and largest compartment empty. It was not enough food for me for lunch and I was very disappointed. As for flavor, it was okay. The mandarin oranges were mushy but the dressing was flavorful. The chicken was plain chicken. I was missing the sesame seeds, cucumbers, and cashews from my salad which I didn't notice until I was already back at my office. So that sucked. They give you bread and a chocolate dipped strawberry with your meal. I would rather have had more salad.
I'll give it another try someday as I would really love a quick salad place nearby work for lunch. But as of right now, meh. I'm hoping I just had one of those one-off bad experiences.
