Salad Creations

I’m really sad this place closed down. I’ve only been once but the service was amazing, and that alone was why I wanted to come back.
:/​

A great local branch of a franchise. Amazing customer service, such a friendly atmosphere, and pretty awesome salads to boot. I just heard this place is closing and it breaks my heart. This was my go to for work lunch. I ate here three times a week, and now all that’s left is the usual Starbucks and Subway.
If you’re in the area before next week (12/​11/​2015), give these guys a try. And tip hard.
I hope everyone there is already locked in for work. Such a great staff.

WHY IS THIS PLACE CLOSING NEXT FRIDAY? I just found this spot yesterday as it’s near my work and I wanted a good salad. Place was packed, and when I get to the register to pay the lady mentions that next Friday is their last day, and that the overhead was just too much. Such a bummer: (Awesome salads and wraps that are made with love. I’m going to try and come here as much as possible before they close.

One thing that irritates me more is when the company isn’t open when it’s suppose to be open. I came here to salads creation with the list of 20 people’s order for work. And it was close on a Tuesday at 930am, when it clearly states that on Unilocal is open. Definitely lost a customer

I have been to Salad Creations 3 times and each of the 3 salads I ordered were delicious! I have had the Mediterranean Salad, one of the Salmon salads and today, I had the Spicy Veggie Salad. My review of 5 stars is only for the quality and taste of the salads. My only negative comment would be the LONG lunch time wait. However, the cashier was extremely nice and gave us the brochure to explain ordering online to reduce the wait.

Went here for lunch around 4pm. No line and service was fast. I ordered the Chicken Ceasar with Raspberry vinaigrette. I got the junior size and it was pretty fulfilling. Will definitely come again!

This place has to have the best salads I’ve ever eaten in my life! Fresh! Big! And filling !! The staff was so nice as well! Very friendly but the food was everything! I literally are there everyday at my visit to LA :) I would be back! I loved it!

I have personally have been a customer for over a year and have tried a variety of different salads and have never been let down. With great customer service and even better food you will win from beginning to end.

I have been here a small handful of times and am honing in on my faves (currently the asian salmon ginger something or other in the premium menu). I really like the salad, but agree it is really pricey considering the ambiance, the super long lines during lunch and the salmon could be mistaken for canned tuna (really flaky and colorless, not grilled like in their menu photo).

Salad Creations is a great go-​to lunch spot. I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Caesar salad and I was really satisfied with the quality. They are also pretty quick too. The price is somewhat expensive for a salad but this place is one of the more healthy alternatives. I would definitely come back again!

I love this place! The vegetables are fresh, ingredients tasty, and service is outstanding. Reasonably priced, too. Would be 5 points if they had tofu as a protein option.

High prices but if you get a large salad they give you a good amount… I opted for the. Southwest chicken salad & honestly it was good & fresh but it was pricey & the more I had it it really reminded me of the southwest salads you can get at Costco 2 for $ 4.99. Maybe I should’ve ordered something different but I must say this… I had their Brie & mushroom soup and I absolutely loved it. It was fresh & really tasty. I would definitely give this place another try because I also received good customer service. And of course come back for some more soup :)

Wow, now three time my boss has gone here to get lunch for 10 of us, every time it’s bad! Got the Turkey Cobb, what turkey? Really!!! i bet there is maybe 6 little bites that do not equal a ¼ slice of meat. This place is bad and i will make sure our company does NOT eat there ever again.

Ordered the chili w/​beans & beef in a bread bowl ($ 4.99), and it was delicious. The bread is freshly baked, and has a sourdough taste.

Really long line that didn’t move fast. I’ve been to a handful of salad places and this was probably the one I liked least. It was nice that they offer two different sizes of salads. The dressings were somewhat flavorless, and the chicken was gross. Really small selection of drinks. Limited indoor seating. Staff was slow and didn’t seem excited about what they were doing — the way the line was going was extremely confusing.

The BBQ Chipotle Chicken salad is amazing! A bit on the expensive side but so worth it. I constantly find myself craving this salad.
During lunch time the line gets pretty long but that just goes to show how delicious and popular their product is! I think it’s worth the wait.
They close unusually early during the week and aren’t open on weekends, which is something I hope they change sooner rather than later.

Create your own, no meat — $ 8.71. Expensive, but cheaper than whole foods. My belly card has told me I’ve been here 50 times since the beginning of 2014. I’m a creature of habit. I get virtually every non-​meat throw in and make a huge salad. I suppose I could just buy my own ingredients for a hell of a lot cheaper, but it’s so convenient for my busy schedule and I like to support local businesses who at least on face attempt to promote healthy alternatives.
If you go before 11 or after 2, there is no wait at all. I’ll generally grab and go and eat at work — never have an issue. Tried out the new breakfast the other day and wasn’t that impressed, it’s a lot cheaper though.
Not sure why there are not more competitors to this place — this concept is pretty popular in east coast cities.

Great fresh salads made for you on the spot. Wish I ordered one of the more specialty salads rather than a regular blue cheese and chicken one. Will try something new next time.
This place is mostly for people on their lunch break who need something quick before heading back into the office. Staff aren’t the most friendly I would say.

Not bad for… (wait for it)… SALAD.
This place is just convenient for me which is why I go somewhat regularly when I want a salad for lunch. I typically get the Chinese Chopshtick and sub the Asian Peanut dressing with the Sesame Ginger. Asian Peanut is good too, I just like the Sesame Ginger a smidge more. If you ask me, anything with mandarin oranges taste good. Oh, and those crunchy wonton crisp things.
Belly your rewards and you get a free salad every 10 times or so. I tipped them a buck once and they all shouted THANK YOU. Then I tipped 50 cents another time and they did the same thing. Wonder if I just unloaded my penny jar if they’d still thank me…

I came here pretty much every day for lunch when I worked at DIRECTV in LA because it was about the same price as the cafeteria and much tastier. The salads here were delicious! I usually ordered the smaller salad with a soup or the larger salad.
Chinese Chopstix Salad ⁵⁄₅ This was the first salad I tried and my favorite!
Thai Crunch ⁴⁄₅ This salad was similar to Chinese Chopstix but not as tasty.
BBQ Chicken ³⁄₅ I think this would have tasted better as a wrap
Chili ⁴⁄₅ Great comfort food!
Make sure to sign up for Belly to earn points if you visit often! There is also a large selection of sodas and chips.

Okay, okay… it’s not THAT exciting if you’re making your own salad, however, it’s the experience that matters. :)
IF you know where «The Edge» plaza is at between the Northrop Grumman and Boeing, you should know where Salad Creations is located. If not, just GPS. Try not to get lost.
Came here to grab a quick lunch with the boyfriend before he had to go back to work. Don’t be surprised if you see everyone around you wearing badges and all dressed up because this salad creation is basically for people who works around there to grab something to-​go.
Got the Chipotle bbq Chicken salad without the black beans
— I told them to leave the black beans out, so they did and asked me what else I would like to substitute it. YES! So I ended up getting mushrooms. yummy!
‘Select their classic or make. your own! You can always substitute what you don’t like with something you like!’ No lies!
Note: They have two size of bowls. A small and a large. I shared a small one with my boyfriend and it was already enough and full filling. Could be because we also got a bowl of soup. But I think without the soup, it was a pretty decent size for two to share.
Like? Yes. Healthy, quick and tasty. Don’t like sitting inside to eat? Bring your food outside to the patio near the Starbucks and get some sun in you. Just remember to bring the bowl back to the restaurant. Haha
