It's so sad that even a salad place like Evergreens doesn't serve fresh greens. The romaine lettuce was brown. If it were in my refrigerator, I would toss it out. The carrots and Asian pear also had brownish edges. Not fresh! The ambiance was let down by dirty tables. The service was fine. This is the second time I have been to Evergreens at two different locations and served old lettuce. The very reason I would choose to come and pay $13.47 for a salad is to enjoy fresh crisp healthy food. I probably won't give Evergreens a third chance. So sad. Throw those wilted old brown lettuces out! If the bacterial count gets to high on decomposing lettuce, people get sick. read more

Truthfully, I've never experienced such rudeness as I did here. We arrived 20 minutes before closing and quickly ordered 2 salads. The staff was already putting food away and scuttling around like they were closing. We paid and I said we'd eat quickly. There were 2 other people eating, as well. We had been seated for about 10 minutes when a young woman who was probably the manager came over and said "we're closed. You need to wrap it up." I was kind of shocked and asked her to repeat herself...she had a hard time looking me in the eye. I told her I was eating as fast as I could. She then recommended we go outside to finish...it was night time and 39 degrees. We spent $34 on 2,bowls of lettuce, much of it slimy and black, and then had this moron tell us to go outside to finish...all while they were continuing to clean and put food away. I will never understand why restaurants put college kids in charge of running the place. They don't give a shit about the restaurant or the customers and can't wait to get out the door. I've worked a lot of food service jobs over the years...my ass would have been fired if I'd ever spoken to a customer in this way. read more

Prices aren't bad and the employees were super nice! For UW students... they dive student discounts if you've got your ID on you. read more

Evergreens - wrap - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

One of my favorite places around campus if you're looking for a healthy meal! The ingredients are all fresh vegetables, fruit, etc... and no matter how often I come here it'll never get old. Highly recommend the El Sombrero and adding on tons of add-ons. The regular portion size is huge and will definitely fill you up. read more

Evergreens - El Sombrero salad with tons of add-ons! - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've only been here a handful of times (in a more realistic sense, probably about three since this review) but I love coming here to create my own salad bowl, especially on days when I didn't prep my own! At first sight, you already know this store is healthy af. Which person are you: One who walks by quickly and go straight to dessert, or you're a salad loving individual who would get excited with a joint like this? Either way, slow down and give this place a try! You'll leave feeling great eating a bowl of greens. Plus, you can modify anything you want to fit your taste or choose one or their pre-made bowls. Very clean space, and my own experience with service was quite alright. At times, some of the workers there seem passive and sometimes annoyed that they have to work? I guess the reviews critical of the service isn't too far off. But with my first visit, they were rather helpful and upsized me bowl to a large for free since there was so much extra greens. Anyway, as long as I get a full salad bowl! read more

Evergreens - Own mix, regular bowl. No protein or extras added, ~$9 - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Tucked away in the heart of University Village, this is the king of organic restaurants. It's not a big space, but it is efficiently designed. A very clean and earthy environment. I had the Super Bowl. The gal making the salad was very patient and informative with helping me with my selections. She even gave me a few extra scoops of Quinoa! Very fresh, organic, healthy and delicious. I stumbled across another Evergreens Salad near the City Center in Bellevue! read more

Just bought my last salad from Evergreens. I've eaten at Evergreens since they opened and their salads used to be amazing! And under $10. Now you pay $16-$18 and get a bowl full of sad lettuce with hardly any toppings. And $2 for avocado? Really? Good luck - I'm going to look for the next Evergreens...... read more

Maybe it's cause I'm a college student and I haven't had a fresh vegetable in a month, but that salad was orgasmic. I ordered ahead and it was ready when I got there and I rode the bus back to my dorm and almost cried because it was so good. The bread was also fantastic but oh my god did I need that salad. read more

Super yummy and fresh! Ordered The Super Bowl and added a couple of additional toppings. We might not have Sweetgreen in Seattle but this is its PNW sister. The focaccia-like bread also tastes better than Sweetgreen's artisan slice, for what it's worth. read more

Our family loves Evergreen but find that this location at U Village consistently has some of the worst quality control and customer service we've ever seen. If I could give zero stars I would. Online orders are consistently incorrectly made, swapping add-one and ingredients for the wrong salads, completely leaving other add-ons, etc. The most egregious happened with Shashonda (sp?) today. We ordered 2 combos for $12 each before tax and was charged $33. After realizing the mistake, we called to correct the issue and she instantly was defensive and combative, repeatedly blaming the difference on sales tax and add-ons. None of the substitutions or added ingredients had extra charge, I checked the app! And yes, our sales tax is expensive, but not 37.5%! She clearly knew she was wrong but insisted on her stance. Never going to this Evergreens again. read more

Love them. Super fresh and delicious. Cons- always busy. And I don't recommend ordering online, typically something is wrong/missing. read more

Evergreens is situated in one of the spots closer to the quieter periphery of U Village. It's not a huge space, but feels pretty open and there was ample seating when I went, as it seems like a lot of people get their salads and wraps to go. They have several really yummy curated salad options, such as the Cobb Your Enthusiasm (a take on a classic cobb salad) and Walk The Flank (a flank steak salad). As you can see, this chain is big into puns. You can also customize your own salad, and they have plenty of options to make your salad exactly what you'd like. I got the Cobb Your Enthusiasm, which is $11 for a large (think a dinner sized salad). Romaine, pickled red onions, gorgonzola, hard boiled egg, chicken, avocado, and bacon crumbles were tossed with a light but tangy dressing and it was really really delicious. I like eating healthy, but only if I can make it taste good, and I was actually wistful when this salad was over. All their other options seemed really tasty as well, and I really want to try the Walk the Flank and the greek salad. I have only one minor complaint, which are what keep me from taking it to five stars. The first thing is that $11 is a lot for a salad, especially when the bulk of most of the salads is romaine lettuce, not kale or arugula, which would make it seem a bit more justifiable. Being a UW student, I get 10% off regularly, but I don't know if I'd want to be paying 9-12 dollars for a romaine-based salad. That being said, the large size is pretty hefty and managed to satisfy even this large appetite. Other than that, though, evergreens is pretty great and I can definitely see myself going back when I'm craving a yummy salad. The customer service is quick and friendly, and when I was in there today, they were playing the best playlist of old school rap. It was pretty lit for a salad place. read more

Pretty decent selections of fresh veggies and homemade salad dressings. Quick friendly service. Tip: order online ahead of time for a fast pick up! read more

there was a whole ALIVE bug in my salad for an almost $40 bowl.. also, besides the bug it was pretty gross

Went for the first time in July and they had their seasonal menu. got the el sombrero with the the cacio e pepe dressing. It was delicious. I went back in August and they don't have that salad or that salad or dressing. And there's nothing else I want from there. So as good as it was I won't be going back unless they bring back that dressing and salad. read more

I've been frequenting this place quite often this summer and I have to increase my rating. Here is why: 1. Service is fast. 2. Ingredients are fresh. 3. Portions are generous. 4. I've tried The Super Bowl and The Sombrero and both are delicious. 5. Delivery preparation is great. They don't mix in the dressing or chop it which keeps it fresh. 6. The prices are reasonable. Some people have complained that the prices are too high. Have you eaten out in Seattle? If you order a $9 salad at most restaurants you get a side salad portion. If you don't get the salad chopped at Evergreens Salad you can actually see how much salad you get - and it's a generous portion. read more

I love evergeens so much and I'd definitely say I come in frequently enough to remember the employees faces! Everyone is always so good at making the salads taste just right and delicious. However, today they had new people making salads it was easy to tell they were brand new. If there are new people, please have the experienced employees help the new ones out :( everyone always does a great job of putting a lot of salad in the bowl which is the whole point of going to a salad bar joint, but the new person barely put any salad in my bowl. He also did not ask if I wanted all the toppings, or really ask about any of the extra finishes etc. So just please have the experienced workers watch the new ones until they're comfortable making the salads how they should be made, especially if there is 0 line in the shop! read more

I've been a long time costumer at this Evergreens location but today I had lovely experience that I want to share. I grabbed a salad to go for lunch- after leaving the restaurant premise I totally dropped and ruined my salad. I came back in and the staff happily and kindly made me a second salad free of charge! Top tier customer service! read more

Great quality salads and ingredients. I love building my own salad and my favorite dressing is the lemon vini. Good COVID precautions put into the restaurant, but I would still recommend ordering online and doing pickup just because it's so easy! The bread isn't the best bread I've ever had, but let's be real it's bread it can't be that bad. A good place to go for a quality salad, it is on the pricey side though. read more

Great fresh ingredients and a great choice when you need something healthy delivered. We usually get it through Caviar and its a great healthy option where you can choose your toppings or pick one of their options on the menu. Fresh and yummy. read more

I just ate lunch at Evergreens in Fremont. I'm on a special diet for the first time in my life, it's called the Whole 30. There's some foods and ingredients I can't eat. So, I have to ask questions from workers at restaurants and salad bars about what's in certain ingredients and dressings. I'm writing this review because Kim seen me looking through a menu and went out of her way to help me. FURTHERMORE, when I asked about what went into the salami, she checked the ingredient book to see whether I could eat it or not. When she needed more information, she went out back and showed me the label from the salami package. Unfortunately, it had some sugar added to it, but that's not the point. The point is---great, pre-emptive customer service towards a customer who currently has to be picky about what they eat. Tasty food, great job by Kim. I'm definitely coming back here during my diet for more salads, and maybe even when my diet is over! I rarely write Yelp reviews unless something jumps out at me, and Kim's customer service did! Nice work! read more

So many types of salad! I've been here a few times now and like getting a nice salad with a variety of vegetables, dressings, and meats. They have seasonal salads so the menu changes with a handful of different salads every few months. The last one I tried had tuna and a little bit of a kick to it. I did medium amount of dressing and it was too much for me so I'll have to do light dressing next time. This place is always busy when I come. I wish they had regular bowls and utensils if you know you are eating in. I very much appreciate compostable bowls and forks but people often finish their salad in the store. I also wish they would put this store on University Avenue because it is lacking a good salad place like this (hint, hint). read more

After growing up in LA, I live for restaurants like Evergreens: Sweet Greens, Tender Greens, Urban Plates... Yes, you can save money and head to TJ's to make these salads at home but can you make their fresh dressings? No, unless you are okay with consuming preservatives from the grocery store ones. Pros - Customizable; great selection of signature salads/grain bowls - Great dressings!! Spicy Caesar and the Ginger Sesame were really tasty. Cons - Decent selection of toppings. Please chop the red bell peppers into bite sized... I got 2"x3" slices of them. - CONTAMINATION. I'm very sensitive to dairy and somehow two pieces of some *rogue* blue cheese made it to my customized non-dairy salad =(... Blue cheese has a very distinct taste so of course I knew it's was cheese =( Stomach was in pain for a few days. This is pretty much unacceptable for customers who have food allergies. Because of this, I had to bump it down to 3 stars. It honestly felt like the workers at that time (Tuesday night prime dinner time) were sloppy and tired from a long shift. - No additional toppings (ie. Furukake/nori, wontons, tortilla chips -- this is based on what Sweet Greens gives) EDIT: I've noticed that other reviewers have complained about contamination! I hope they go through re-training because I would really like to return but if they continue with their sloppiness, then they're going to lose a lot of customers who have dietary needs-- and we're a market who's willing to spend $$$ on these restaurants. *hint* read more

Wow. Used to love this place when they actually gave you a full sized wrap. If you want to pay $15 for someone to rip you off then for sure come here. Every time I've come recently I get the tiniest wraps. What the hell evergreens? Tasty food but I didn't drive 35 minutes here to pay $15 for five bites. Literally was the size of the Lacroix I bought there. read more

Evergreens - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Evergreens used to be a staple for me and The Super Bowl was so good. I went today and found out that they removed it and many of the ingredients from their menu??? Very disappointing. I won't be back unless they bring back their most popular salad read more

Evergreens has totally changed their salads and they are horrible now. I got a warm bowl wanting it to be delicious and it tasted disgusting. They got rid of the best salad they had which was Super Bowl. I was already upset with their early hours closing at 7pm, some people eat dinner later than that and want something healthy. I really loved Evergreens and now I sad they have taken a turn for the worst. read more

Had the corn identity, which was a decent mix of veg. Do think it could have had more of a "kick" - perhaps I should've asked for a heavy dressing (but who wants to do that). Down to give them another try. We swapped out croutons for quinoa, which wasn't an issue thankfully. Enjoyed watching them chop it all up before serving! read more

I tried this for the first time today and was not let down. Place definitely has a happy vibe, from the names of their salads (I got the "Cobb Your Enthusiasm") to their friendly staff. I needed something to hold me over while my car was in the shop and this was a great find. Wish there was a little more chicken, but I can always just add some more in next time, I believe. read more

Evergreens - The Cobb Your Enthusiasm. Next time I'll be adding some extra chicken. The standard amount left much to be desired. Still really good - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I don't really understand the low rating that Evergreens has.. I was looking for a quick, healthy, affordable lunch and this fit the bill. I paid $9+tax/tip for a heaping bowl of goodness, which came with a piece of Macrina focaccia bread. I was expecting that everything would be scooped into the bowl a la Chipotle, but they actually toss all your ingredients in a bigger bowl so you're not just paying for the "space" of the greens in the bowl. No extra charge for quinoa or brown rice added to the bowl, no charge for extra veggie toppings. I would have easily paid more for a salad that size at any sit down place. Will be coming back if I'm ever in a pinch for lunch! read more

One of the best salads I've had in a long time. What makes Evergreens different is it's essentially a salad bar-style restaurant but I love how they mix and chop everything together after choosing all your ingredients so every bite is consistent. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Kale Caesar with cucumber instead of tomatoes and light dressing. It was delicious and in fact, I'm craving the salad right now. read more

Evergreens - Spicy Kale Caesar. No Tomato, sub cucumber & light dressing. - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's official. I am never returning to Evergreens. I understand that coming in at 6:30pm is near closing for the employees on shift here but that is no excuse for inconsistency and carelessness. I ordered the spicy kale caesar and added avocado and chicken which significantly increases the price on a salad here. I have made a point to closely watch the employees while they make the salads because of past experiences, but tonight, the gentleman making my salad turned around while chopping and dressing the salad. Upon checkout, I discover that I have a significantly less amount of salad than my friend (who ordered the exact same thing) and that my salad is actually mayonnaise soup. The amount of dressing that was put on my salad made it inedible at the end. Paying $13 for a salad is heinous in itself and to get something so disgusting in return is inexplicable. Evergreens cannot seem to change their inconsistent and careless ways so I will not be a returning customer. read more

I enjoyed my salad here. My first time was after having surgery. It gave me energy and filled me up to take my medicine. I did a build my own salad by the way. read more

Amazing salads and convenient to all of the University Village shops! There are a number of good salad options, most of which have decent proteins to go along. The standard size is plenty for one person, the large could probably be shared... Even comes with a good slice of bread to dip in olive oil and vinegar. Great local and sustainable shop! Keep it up!! read more

Evergreens - The salad bar - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

If you want to pay $12 for a bland bowl of lettuce, this is the place for you. Very skimpy on the flavorful ingredients. For an extra $3 yesterday, I got 4 tiny pieces of diced steak and the gorgonzola was nonexistent. They get 2 stars for the clever salad names and descriptions; sadly, they're much better than the actual salads. read more

Honestly pretty disappointed. I went in wanting the El Sombrero with no jalapeños, chips or cheese and to add chicken. The girl was making my salad so quickly that she asked if i wanted everything in it and before i even had 1 second to respond she already put the chips and jalapeños in. Then, I asked to add chicken. She didn't. Then, never asked if I wanted my dressing light medium or heavy. Just did what she wanted. Not very friendly or good customer service. read more

I like their salads.but today was very disappointed. Got there at 8:20pm they open until 9.drove 25 min from my home to get a salad.but been turned around they said we don't chop salad anymore at this time?! Hopefully management will see my feedback. If you open until 9pm you should be able to provide FULL service to the customer AT LEAST until 8:59pm. read more

Fast, friendly and very accommodating service. Freshly made to order with your choice to customize or select from a fixed menu (which you can alter). Lots of seating inside and outdoor seating available. All this for about $10. Chips, cookies and drinks are extra. read more

Evergreens is tride and true. I have had my ups and downs with this place. It is great if you want a healthy option on the go and there are many toppings to choose from. My 1 complaint is that they don't fill up the salad the whole way sometimes, which sucks but I still go here despite it. read more

Simple fast fresh and good. Employees were responsive to inquiries and would like to see one in eastern Washington

Very nice place. The food is fresh and tasty. I got the small salad and its a lot of salad. No need to go with the large. The employees were clean, friendly, and polite. I'd come back again for lunch. read more
