Why doesn't Ohio have more SALAD-CENTERED establishments?!?! Good heavens. But, I'm glad to see CHOP5 has a good hold on the concept. It's your regular fast-casual order, go down the line and pick ur toppings, and pay at the register. Make it a salad, pita wrap or a rice bowl. Everything's made in front of the customer, which I secretly love. If I want a bit more black olives, want to know if the chopped apples are green or red/pink, I don't have to remember to disclose that at the beginning, the customer can chime in at any point down the conveyor belt. It took me some good solid time to sort out what I wanted to order. I finally landed on the Shrimp Salad, but subbed in grilled chicken for the protein. The finished presentation wasn't anything out of this world, just a tossed conglomerate thoroughly mixed. Veggies were chopped small, but fresh. The taste was good, and the salad filled up the entire to-go bowl. Could I produce this salad at home? Sure. For more cost-effective measures? Yes. But, I like having the ability to get in and out with a healthy, and full, tummy. If I'm in the area again, I'd give it another go - perhaps I'll try a bowl, several of those on the menu sounded tasty. read more

They are quick, don't be worried if there is a line. Ingredients are fresh and there is a good selection. I always build my own my friend buys one of their curated options both of us are very happy. One of my favorite places to eat when I'm not cooking. Staff has always been great as well. read more

I love this place. Every time I come in and order my food always comes out fresh and delicious. Their food is light in your stomach and is so refreshing. I love the variety of different salad dressing options. They are unique and very tasty. The restaurant is like a chipotle where you build your meal going through the assembly line and pay at the end. Management is very customer service oriented and the staff is friendly. You will leave satisfied every time. UPDATE!: I stopped in for a fresh salad today and a rice bowl for my wife but the shortly after entering I was advised that they had a run out of rice today. Unfortunately, rice bowls are all my wife eats. And although they have been saying they are going to add calorie counts to their meals they still haven't done it. We had to leave. :( read more

Food was tasty, though being born and raised in Arizona, we found the Southwest Chipotle Chop was missing a couple key ingredients. That's what my hubby ordered. I got the Spicy Teriyaki Bowl, but subbed cauliflower rice. Not much spice to it but the flavors were good. Wedding soup was something we wouldn't order again. Services was fast and friendly. I was slightly turned off by the weighing of ingredients considering the price. read more

CHOP5 Salad Kitchen - Southwest Chop and Spicy Teriyaki - Salad Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Obsessed. Omg heard many things about this place and my fav co-worker asked if we could go Friday. Done. PROS: Close to office off of POLARIS parkway. HUGE variety of menu options or do it yourself options Salads. Wraps. Bowls. They have soups. It's EASY! It's not complicated. It's smooth order sailing and pick up. The staff is amazing. Ingredients are fresh. Organic lemonade is to die for - very healthy drink options. I don't believe I saw soda. GOOD! Super clean order counter. Super clean drink and MANY condiments counter. Tables are clean. CONS: Honestly. Can't find one. Unless you want to squeal about the cost. It was $13 and some change for my Greek salad with avocado and lemonade. That or $11 at a less healthy similar chain where you can pack on the pounds? Love it. Gonna take my boyfriend. He will love it. Heaven on earth. read more

Ever heard of fresh fast food?!?!? Yup ~ that's a thing here at Chop 5. In a strip mall just up the block from Polaris Mall, you can have a healthier meal than most of the food court food. With ingredients like avocado, beets, sugar snap peas and kalamata olives along with at least 40 more ingredients you have endless creativity for lunch + dinner. Take all their ingredients and make either a salad, a bowl which includes rice and beans or a wrap. 5 ingredients are included and then each additional one is 79 cents. Or pick one of their signature creations - so many good options without having to be overwhelmed with choices. Chop 5 is also committed to giving back here in Ohio so a portion of their proceeds are donated to the Mid-Ohio Food bank to create a healthy and hunger-free community. Next time you're in the Polaris area, make a stop at Chop5 for truly some if the freshest, healthiest and tastiest ingredients around. And do not miss the organic lemonade, it's worth the trip alone! read more

Holy wow! I was blown away by my first visit to Chop5. The ordering is super simple. They have their specialty bowls, salads, wraps & soups.. or you can make it your own! The staff was friendly and were addressing customers by name. The only thing I've tried thus far is the Mexican bowl. I can't recommend it enough. Perfect combination of heat & avocado to cool it down. The chicken was perfectly cooked & tasted great. Everything was fresh & delicious. It blows big chain competition away & with limited options of healthy food around the Polaris area, Chop5 is my new favorite! Thank you! THANK YOU Chop5! I canNOT wait to try the other specialty items! Not to mention they have online ordering!! read more

I honestly never write reviews, but I figured I need to in this situation. I was so excited to try this place, as a health conscious individual I figured it would be great. Walking in to the restaurant, I didn't know what I was doing or how to order a build your own bowl. As I went through picking what I wanted, the employee acted as if I was dumb the entire time for not knowing how to pick the right amount of things. She was rude, and even after I said "sorry I've never been here before," she didn't say anything back or try to help me with how to pick. I wanted shrimp on my bowl and it was $3.99 extra. I received 3 small shrimp total. The food was good, but doesn't make up for how I was left feeling after the employee encounter. Save your money and time and don't go here. read more

Sad to say for the price of the salad I was not impressed. The lettuce wasn't fresh, seemed like it may have been sitting for a while. However the service was good. They had plenty of choices for salad dressing. They took their time in letting me try some of the newer one. The experience was good, not so much the salad. And it costs about $7, no meat. read more

Definitely recommend this place for a great healthy salad. Really nice options for toppings but could have a few more. As other reviews have said, my biggest complaint would be the upcharges. I did make my own. They were very generous with the lettuce: three different kinds in mine and lots of it. The free toppings, of which I got five, were barely a tablespoon worth. They are fine with putting more dressing on, but for $1.79 I got half an avocado. The bacon, also an upcharge, was only a tablespoon as well. If you love lettuce then great: I think toppings make the salad and are the reason I would go out versus just getting my own bag and dressing. The cucumber water is great and free. Would love to see bigger spoons for the toppings or one free meat option perhaps? read more

Not a fan of the process or pricing, the wife and I went for the first time got the same salad, southwest chipotle chopped salad, the salad itself was good but not great, very fresh but nothing we couldn't have made at home. The issue is we got 2 salads and 2 bottles of soda for 39.00 and the only thing extra we got was chicken on mine and 1 extra dressing apiece, pricing isn't very apparent and the process is like chipotle so you're not sure of what cost extra. Sure we can always ask but it should be more apparent IMO. Almost 40.00 dollars for 2 salads is ridiculous so I can't recommend going. read more

Teriyaki chicken bowl was to die for! I would recommend to anyone! Fresh, tasting and made to order.

Stopped here traveling home to Cleveland from Atlanta for lunch. Great friendly service. We had the Asian Chop salad & Quinoa Veggie bowl. Added deliciously spiced tofu to both. We've been vegan for 7 years and travel a lot. This was by far the best vegan bowl/salad EVER! Just wish we had one in Cleveland. read more

I'm not a huge salad fan! If you are I think that this place would be your spot. Fast casual, with ability to pick what you want or pre arranged menu. Great choice of salad dressings. The layout of the space is very weird though and makes hard to get around during busy times. read more

Bang for your buck: 6/10 Quality: 7.5/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance/Location: 7.5/10 Overall: 7.5/10 I wanted Chop5 to bowl us over, but it didn't. Admittedly we had high standards because the only other salad-centric restaurant we frequent is Market 65, and that place is so good, it's unfair to compare the two, and yet comparison is too easily done. When compared to something probably more similar like Piada or Chipotle, for example, Chop5 still falls short in the quality and bang for your buck categories. Their salads are expensive. In this fast-food environment, you have an expectation of getting a meal for $6-$10, but our salads were close to $15! You can get a much better salad from many places in the Polaris area for that. Beyond how expensive they were, they were just okay. Again, for the money (and cheaper), a better salad can be had. There's dedicated parking at Chop5 but limited seating inside. The whole setup and flow of the interior seemed odd to us. It just felt awkward. Plus, being off of Polaris Parkway, traffic is just bananas trying to get there. Chop5 is great if you are in a hurry, don't mind paying a little bit more for something pretty mediocre, and are already in the Polaris area. It's definitely an afterthought, not a destination. read more

Yummy salads! The service was also great- everyone was super friendly. Definitely will be back.

I received e.coli from this establishment. The salad was amazing and service was great. But was terribly sick about an hour after eating.

I was in a hurry, so opted for one of their recipes since I couldn't see their full list of ingredients at the entrance, I didn't make my own. Went with BBQ Chicken since it had black beans. On a quick skim it was the only salad with beans. Salad was decent, not amazing. The person making the salad was trying to make conversation and ask about my day & where I worked. I hate small talk & just really wanted to pay attention that it had all the ingredients I expected. Which I missed when he asked if I wanted croutons that should've actually had tortilla strips. This would've complimented better with corn, BBQ, black beans. I don't like that their recipe salads only use romaine. I like a spring mix, spinach, arugula. Romaine is like the new iceberg of salad. Of course you can get these, but they make it easier for themselves by recipe & cost to not offer these. So if I go back I probably make my own and see if I like it better. It will prob be a $10-$12 Salad instead of 8ish. read more

I am on a sodium restricted diet and there were so many options to choose from. The food tasted very fresh. I also really liked that their nutritional information was very easy to find and to read. I had a wonderful meal that was fresh and I knew what I was getting. The sign on the door said it was a test kitchen. I really hope it does well and they open more locations, especially in Akron, Ohio. read more

Nice clean open space. A great way to get something healthy to eat when you are on the go. I chose a custom salad and the vegetarian chili. I was able to purchase up to 5 veggies/cheese for one price. I'd like to go back and try one of their custom salads and get out of my comfort zone. Once I try one of their custom salads during a meal time I will post another review. read more

Good salads. A little pricey, though. Let's face it, they're all lettuce with a few pieces of meat.

I really want to like Chop5 so badly- I'm a HUGE fan of chopped salads and any time I'm in DC or NYC, I'll be sure to visit Chopt (my all-time favorite chopped salad place). I just felt very underwhelmed when I went. While I was waiting for someone to take my order (with one or two people ahead of me being helped by someone else further along in the process), rather than helping me, the employee was standing there evaluating the freshness of the greens in the bin. He then brought someone else over and they had a very audible conversation about how brown some of the lettuce looked. And then they proceeded to make my salad with it. I didn't question this at the time but frankly, it was disconcerting. Following that strange occurrence, they straight up weigh the lettuce they put in the salad. I've never seen that before. I understand the business appeal of portioning every salad correctly. But it just comes across as cheap from the customer point of view to see the person on the other side of the glass grab a generous handful of lettuce and then slowly, leaf by leaf, remove lettuce until it matches the exact weight desired. Call me crazy, but that just felt disingenuous, as if it would be a total travesty if the customer received even slightly more than they're overpaying for. The salad itself? Unremarkable. The lettuce was (unsurprisingly based on the conversation I witnessed) somewhat soggy and some of it was visibly browned. I just can't see myself returning here, especially considering the price point. I'd rather pay way less to get a salad or bowl at Chipotle that I know hasn't been held under a microscope to ensure the exact, stingy portioning of ingredients. read more

I'm thinking I've been in one of these before in another state but not so sure. Anyway, pulled into here after an appointment and stood at the end of a long line but that line moved quickly. Point in their favor. You have the choice of ordering a salad that they list or create your own. You can also make a salad into a wrap or order a rice bowl. There's no soup here like at the other salad place up the road but back to the salads. You order your salad or greens, they weigh it out for you (weigh? really?) pass the bowl to the next person who adds whatever you want, pass the bowl, another person adds more stuff and then proceeds to chop the heck out of it. If you are particular about how much salad dressing you like or don't like this is the time to tell them to slow their roll. They were going so fast that I didn't have time to tell the guy to not be so heavy on the squeeze bottles. Lesson learned. I also found out how much adding avocado costs - it's $1.99 for maybe half an avocado. Sheesh! I can buy a whole one at the store for less than that. Your meal gets handed off to the cashier (let's see that's about the 4th person to handle my bowl) who rings you out and give you a cup to get your drink. I just got water and paid $9.00 for my nice sized salad with chicken. Side note... the bowls look to be made or recycled paper. Hope they do recycle. read more

***Update as of 12/10/17. The staff and food have won me over. Love the concept. The salads are good, and the service is GREAT! My only complaints are about pricing. For what you actually get in the Signature Salads (less than what fills the take-out bowl at a minimum of $8) most of the salads are very over-priced. Also, I understand charging extra for premiums like proteins or even avocado, but $0.79 for cheese, or hardboiled egg when it goes not come on the salad? That's a rip-off to the consumer. When I have to add to my order just to fill the bowl and the salad ends up being well over $10.00 in the middle of Ohio, then there is a problem. If they want to be a mock Chipotle with salad versions, then they should be more generous with ingredients like Chipotle is, or give more ingredients per signature salad. read more

We were super excited to try a healthy alternative for grab and go meals. Really enjoy some of the options, especially putting any salad into a wrap! Unless you're going with the pre-created option like a barbecue chicken salad or cobb, it can take some time to get your ingredients right. That's why in the 3 times that we have gone, I've had some of my ingredients put on the side. Every single time they forget to give me my side ingredients. Weekend, weekday, lunch, dinner. You will not get your ingredients on the side. It's honestly really frustrating, especially when you're paying $7-9 for a basic salad bar. Every ingredient over your fifth one is $.79. So far they owe me $3.95 in side ingredients not in the bag. read more

I cannot count the amount of times I've had chop5! Absolutely love this place, their dressings, and the freshness of their ingredients
