This place was awesome. I love that it was inside secluded professional looking mall. I came on a Monday around 11 a.m. and it was super quiet, and I basically had the whole place myself. Walking around, Chopt looked like the healthiest option around. My girlfriend and I shared a Caesar salad wrap, which came with a side of bread, and it was absolutely delicious. We took it to go and ate it on the NYC Ferry while heading to Governors Island. It was crisp, refreshing, and fresh... the perfect handheld lunch! My first time at Chopt, and certainly won't be my last! read more

I've been here several times since my last review and I'll give it to them that they're consistent! The veggies are fresh (I usually get the Sante Fe $11.99, regular Kale Caesar $9.99 or Mexican Kale Caesar $9.99). Hits the spot for a healthy meal. I agree with some other reviews in that the chicken can be dry and not particularly flavorful when I've gotten it in the past so I usually don't order this as a protein. Stick to the chickpeas, hummus or an egg for protein here. The staff are always prompt here, even when there's a line at peak hours between 12-1:30pm the wait to order in person doesn't usually take more than 15 minutes in line and another 5-6 min to move thru the salad prep area to check out. Tip: if you want bread (optional and free) with your salad get there on the earlier side of lunch bc they run out towards the end. read more

I've never tried Chop't but I was in the neighborhood and had an offer for it on my credit card. I had a chicken wrap that I created for myself on the app-which is very well designed. The order was available well ahead of the estimated time so they get props for that. The restaurant is clean and spacious with many chairs even though we opted to take our order to eat in the park. The chairs were comfortable to wait for the order. The wrap was very delicious as were the caramels. Highly recommend. read more

Look forward to working in the NY office knowing lunch from Chopt is on the menu! Every time it's a solid experience where the staff is friendly and quality of the food is on point! read more

My experience with the staff were good and quick. I went to pick up my MealPal lunch and it was ready. The host gave it to me quick. It was pleasant and I appreciated the quickness. My problem is with the salad itself. The chicken in the salad tasted stale- like it was a few days old. The leaves didn't seem they were washed properly so I was tasting dirt or grit as I was chewing through my salad. Bad bad bad salad. Sometimes the experience makes up for the lack of quality food but here my experience was great; I just couldn't stomach the food. read more

Save your money guys! Likely the worst salad I've had in my life. I got the sesame ginger and it's so bland even with dressing. A guy had gone up to the counter to ask for salt while I was paying and now I see why... They also tried to charge me more for tofu when I was simply swapping out for chicken. I pushed back on that and they took off the extra money but wow! And sucks because I've made it back to my office with no time to go back and ask for refund. read more

Absolutely abysmal. Maybe one 5 grams of chicken. Meager saldad portion. Bland. even for the miserable bowl culture if fidi this is bad

Thank you, Yelp, for verifying my status as a regular here. Chopt has been my go-to salad stop for lunch since I started working in the city for a few reasons and one of them is not because I find their salads to die for. Convenience is the number one reason. If the weather is not cooperative then you will most likely find a Chopt bowl in my hand. I wish I could be more excited going here for lunch but to be frank, you're really only getting romaine lettuce. My favorite bowl here was from the Vietnam destination menu (and no it's not just because I'm Vietnamese), which is unfortunate because it rotates. Still in the process of trying everything on their menu to find THE bowl for me but it's hard especially when there are other alternatives like SweetGreens, DigInn, Springbone and byChloe in the area. read more

This is still one of my go to stops for lunch since it is quick and healthy. The price is still on par with other lunch options in the area. The reason that I am downgrading my stars and updating my review is because the options/menu has changed and the quality of the salads aren't as good as they once were. Coworkers and I were upset when our favorite salads were no longer being offered. The staff members vary in friendliness. The choppers are usually nice, while the cashiers seem to have an attitude and make you feel like you are a burden upon them. read more

Chopt is seriously terrible. Inside is chaos and disorganization, salads are way overpriced ($11.50 for the classic Cobb? For real?). The quality of the actual food is awful. How is it possible to make lettuce chewy like stringy rubber? Doesn't lettuce grow the same way no matter what? Chicken is spongey and chewy too. Dressing is bland (this isn't my first time here, I've tried a few). I'm literally trying to get through this salad like a cow chewing cud. Gross. Never again, not even if I'm desperate! read more

Salad is consistently only 2/3 full and forget about the dressing - if you order heavy dressing they still put barely any on. Avoid.

Was the ladybug in the salad for good luck? This was a Santa Fe salad, pickup order. Extra protein. read more

Is it possible that no one knows about this location yet!? I've been here a few times since it opened last month and it hasn't been crowded! A few reasons why you should get on over there for lunch: Staff is super nice. As they put together the ingredients of my most recent salad I noticed I didn't get much chicken. The gal behind the counter was more than happy to add a few extra pieces and did so with a big smile. They move quickly but smoothly. Even though they've just opened it seems like they've been working together for much longer. The whole operation ran very smoothly. Salad was delish. Love the fresh ingredients and dressings. Huge space with lots of tables. Actually a lot larger than some of its other locations. Whereas the Chipotle next door (http://www.yelp.com/biz/chipotle-new-york-55?hrid=JOpQK6xYsyKquxy5sBgoMw&page_src=shared_via_messages_or_emails) isn't great for a lunching w/ a bunch of coworkers - this Chop't is great for that. Instead of a soda machine they've got what looks like a freshly made flavored ice tea machine set up. Yum! If you work in the Financial District and don't mind an extra walk then they this new location. Best salads/options in the neighborhood! read more

I had the Chinese salad and it was delicious. Very fresh tasting ingredients and they fill your bowl to the top. Of course I will always think $11.50 is way over priced for a salad, however I guess because of the location it's considered a normal price. I would return. read more

Really good quick lunch option in Financial District. The line was super long but it moved fairly quickly. I am craving that Mediterranean bowl or the Harvest bowl and New York is so far away!!! read more

Coming to this place and ordering in person is like entering a corn maze. Avoid it at all costs. The trick is to use Level Up and order ahead of time. You can pick up your salad 30 minutes or so later and not have to deal with the very confusing and poorly designed flow of the place. Their salads are really good - great selection of standard and some more exotic ingredients (hearts of palm, or seasonal heirloom tomatoes for example). Also they have interesting pre-fab salads that go beyond the usual Ceasar or Cobb. I order my lunch from here about 3-4 times a week and I've been pleased with the service and food about 95% of the time. Very solid lunch option for the unlucky who work in the boonies of the Financial District! read more

A regular for lunch. However, this place gets too crowded during lunch and they very well try to manage so that, we all get our salads on time. Most of the days, I get my salad not so well chopped. I have got an egg which is not chopped and an unripe avocado which is not cut into pieces. So, now I took a break from this to eat salad somewhere else. read more

Three words sum up this Chopt location in FiDi: Fast, slow and confusing. Fast because you can tell everyone behind the counter is trying to get you in and out ASAP. From the moment you finally get the chance to order your salad, till you reach the end of the assembly line cashier, Chopt employees are sweating, practically running in place, and yelling at the top of their lungs all to get you one of your favorite salads--the amazing Chicken Tinga or the decadent fried-chicken-laced Chopt Po'Boy--in record time. But the old adage "Haste makes waste" applies here, as the goal of "record time" is rarely met during the lunch rush. Waiting in a long line is a reality. A bunch of loud, navy blue suits and you with your red, flower-stitched scarf and turquoise earrings, quietly rebelling against the system (even though you're eating at a salad franchise). When you reach the counter, you'll realize the frenzy that's become the status quo at Chopt. And the curious way the line moves at a decent rate, but gets slower and slower with every step closer to the counter. You order your salad and realize that the whole system of four and five "chopping" lines is, simply put, confusing. You will often hear a chopper calling out the name of a salad, hoping that someone hasn't found the intense process of ordering lunch from here too much and skipped out on the bill (and the food). Usually they find who the salad belongs to standing in a different chopping line. You will often see pre-chopped salads in bowls waiting to be chopped and frustrated and overwhelmed patrons like me, waiting for the promised land: the moment I get my salad, rush to the cashier, pay and leave. read more

They have employees working the line that are visibly sick coughing and sneezing absolutely disgusting and 100% unsanitary. I wouldn't recommend eating at this location let alone stepping foot inside. Its not clear if this should be addressed by management or the health department. read more

I am a weekly customer at this Chopt and usually the staff is pretty professional and friendly. Today was an exception. My salad, a Mexican Caesar without chicken, was made and placed in a chopper's queue. I stood in line and waited my turn, but when I finally got the the counter glass, my salad was not there. Several times I was asked by employees if the Mexican Caesar with chicken sitting in a separate line was mine and I clarified each time that it was not...mine was prepared with no chicken. When I attempted to get help from an employee, she very rudely told me they had been "calling my name again and again for the Mexican Caesar with chicken." When I explained to her (and everyone else for the 100x time) that my salad had no chicken, she remade it and thrust it at me with no apology for chastising me in front of the crowd. Not planning on patronizing a place where customers are treated so brusquely. Get organized, Chopt. read more

Service was amazing and swift, the line moved very fast. I'll definitely be back here again. Plenty and filling for a reasonable price!!!! I couldn't make up my mind and the staff was very patient with explaining how I can make my own and what toppings were available. read more

Tasty, but too expensive! It's a salad! The braised "spicy" Greek chicken is good, but I had to douse it in Valentina because I was expecting spice (I don't know why I do anymore). There wasn't much else to the salad besides some feta and purple cabbage. Quinoa, lentil and millet - where? Also, without looking me in the eye, the employee mumbled that they are out of the "spicy" dressing that comes on it. Maybe you could have told me that before I ordered it? When I asked if they had any other spicy dressing, he gestured towards some green sauce. Uh ok. Nope, not spicy. Make these $8 max and maybe I'll come back. Also, loud, obnoxious music. Oh yeah and your only choice for a drink is a $4 bottled drink, so I went to Chipotle for a cheaper fountain drink. read more

Agree with others, the weekday lunch is a bit chaotic so be patient. The food is always fresh; I enjoy their salads. The ordering lines move at a decent pace for the volume of people. Recommend ordering ahead to skip the lines if you're in a rush read more

Tiny portion but the roasted romesco bowl is tasty enough. They used to have flatbreads but are now just using generic peasant bread like any other salad joint. They should also simplify the menu, which is currently too overwhelming and confusing for a fast casual joint. read more

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - Roasted romesco - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I love Chopt. I can get pretty creative when it comes to my salads and Chopt has the ingredients to make it happen. When I'm out this way I stop in and have my fill. Staff has always been friendly. They have an app so you can order ahead and grab it at the register, very convenient when you're on a lunch break-but order early if it's peak lunch hours! And... enjoy! Never had a salad from here that wasn't good. read more

this place is a SCAM. The flavors are decent but it's frankly shocking how little food you get. I ordered one of the seasonal "market bowls" which are more expensive than the salads but somehow have much less food in them. i got approximately 1/2 teaspoon dressing, and 1/2 teaspoon cheese sprinkled on the top. For $11 i should not be seriously hungry a half hour later. The lines and unpleasant chaos give the harried staff an incentive to rush everything-- never making eye contact to give me the opportunity to say "can i get a tiny bit more of that ingredient, since you clearly just gave me half the scoop i'm paying for?" This is my third time coming here but i'm writing this review to remind myself- Never Again!! There are too many other places that give more and better food in this neighborhood. p.s. the bread is completely stale, and the kale had grit in it, too. read more

The people that work here are really cool! I've been going here for a year and they are some awesome workers in there. They remember you when you come into the store and if something goes wrong with your order, they actually help to straighten things out with sincerity. Randy the manager? Sweetest human you'll come to know if there is a disturbance with your order. True customer oriented people. Now the food.... blessed be the leaves of this shop! I've never been much for salads before but the fact that theres a bunch of things to add on in terms of options really made salads a highlight for me. They even let you taste certain elements that you might not be familiar with! They seem pretty clean too, they switch out boards that they chop stuff on and it just makes so much sense since allergies are a thing that exist and its good to be aware of what can done off your customers. Kudos to them on that. With their charismatic staff(staff on fleek), artisan leafery and lovely dressings (i prefer the mexican goddess) , proper ethics (my friend who's allergic to shrimp still hasn't died there so that works), and the overall chill vibes of the shop (i like to draw and paint there, its so peaceful) I say 5 stars to these chill peeps of Chopts 1 NY Plaza read more

There's a line, but it is because this place is the best! I am such a fan of the kale parmesan or the seasonal salads like the hot nashville chicken. All of the people are so nice and always include a napkin and fork which is very convenient! read more

Ordered a Mendocino salad. Not bad except one of the main ingredients, the roasted squash was missing. No excuse for that.

Really upset with my last experience here. I've eaten at this location 4 times. And I believe only one time I actually liked my salad. I ordered through yelp for pick up and I thought the process was very easy and I actually liked it better than when I order online from sweetgreen. My order was available for pick up in 20 mins which was perfect timing. 1 star for timeliness and 1 star for the ordering process. When I went to pick up my food I had to wait a minute or do which wasn't terrible. I got my food, got to my destination and noticed that there was no chicken, there were artichokes when I specifically said in the notes NO HEARTS OF PALM, and I had half an avocado not sliced or chopped. How the eff am I supposed to cut that when all I have is a fork? The balsamic vinaigrette dressing is disgusting. Literally ruined the salad. I've gotten this salad before, ordered this same way and liked it. So I'm upset it was so awful and missing the grilled chicken I had to PAY EXTRA FOR! Will not be back. I'd rather eat at just salad or take the walk to sweetgreen. read more

The salads are normally but good but I'm very upset about their service. The ppl they have handling orders on the phone are rude. I just said thank you and got hung up on. Last week I asked for balsamic vinegar and was given dressing 3 times. Very close to losing a loyal customer read more

Was headed to Schnipper's and stumbled upon this relatively new Chop't, absolutely empty early on a Friday evening, and was able to use 2 LevelUp birthday credits in one complex. read more

This place has potential. I don't really like the structure of the line feels like you're standing in the same place for forever (which just might be true). However, my salad was delicious. Although they didn't have avocado :-/. The staff is what makes it great as they're so ready to work and so hospitable. It's new so I'll need to give an updated review when I go back. I just hope by that time everyone hasn't found out about this secret spot and I actually wound up on the line for hours. read more

Long lines at all the spots at 1NYP during a cold or wet day. Today, the line here happened to be short, I tried it for the first time. I find the lines confusing and stations very hectic. Santa Fe salad with chicken was good. Was it worth $13, I don't think so. The flavors was good with the recommended chipotle sauce. But there wasn't enough meat in the bowl. The location is convenient, but not enough to offset the price, craziness of the lines and overall so so experience. read more

I recently moved to NYC from Virginia and wanted to find a place near my office where I can continue to have my healthy lunches. In must say this location was by far the friendliest and cleanest in my area. The food is good and portions are perfect, the Santa Fe wrap is my personal favorite. Their staff is friendly and the manager, Randy always remembers my name. Did I mention how clean they were? A very satisfied lunch goer, Lisa :) read more

I'm not sure why this place only has three stars, but I give it five. They have salads and sandwiches and soup...so you've gotta know you're not going in for a three course meal. That being said, it's clean, it's good for you food, and the staff was very friendly and patient while we made our selections. The salad was big and all the ingredients were fresh. Would go back. Disappointed it's only in New York. read more

I work in 1 NY Plaza and I love going to this place the staff and management are super duper fantastic...They always greet you nicely and when I place my order by phone when I go downstairs it ready and waiting. Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
