I had ordered a poki bowl from this takeaway outlet from Fashion Outlet mall, and they filled the bowl with rice to the brim and added a thin layer of veggies on top. When I asked them if this is how you serve your bowls they said "yes". And then when they replaced the bowl they filled the bowl not even half way through. And mind you they charged $17 for this. Never getting food from this outlet/chain again. read more

I was walking the mall today around 2:30' I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch so I was famished. I wanted to try and eat something kind of healthy that's when I spotted Freshii. After perusing the menu items I decided to get a Cobb Salad. (Something a little healthier). Their menu has smoothies, breakfast, burritos, bowls & salads. The Cobb salad was pretty good or maybe I was just hungry. It was a pretty good salad. For a tiny fast food concession stand. I made quick work of it as I was hungry read more

Tropical Smoothie served warm. I'm not a doctor, but every smoothie I've ever had was served cold. This one was room temperature. Maybe that's part of their business model? read more

Extremely poor customer service almost negative. The lady on the counter was rude as hell. Attaching a picture of her for reference if this message ever gets attention of the owner. I ordered a quinoa wrap.. it was ok but the lady had zero interest in working. I asked for utensils, she made a face, I asked for some hot sauce she said it's inside I said I know but I'm asking in the side she gave me a look. The purpose of this post is to get attention of the owner that because of such employees business will be in loss. read more

Freshii - Food court picture. - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Getting protein on a work trip is hard for a vegan. Most times i'm just eating lots of veggies, carbs, and bean burritos I traveled to illinois for a work conference and did a search for vegan options. Freshii having vegan protein really saved me. This location is in the mall so it was kind of a hassle to get to it but it was worth it to me. The first day I got the teriyaki twist bowl with tofu. The second day I got the tex mex wrap with tofu (no cheese, no ranch). any bowl you can order as a wrap. overall I was just beyond happy to have tofu available to me while away on business. was it the best tofu i've had? no it had no seasoning and was very bland but with the sauce and some extra salt these dishes were still a great option to have. freshii actually reminds me of a bland version of core life. I just realized recently that we have a freshii 5 minutes from my home in GR. Would I get freshii with all these great options around me in GR? No but I was so glad to have it in Illinois on my trip and the staff there were so kind. read more

Freshii - Tex mex burrito with chicken. I just paid a $15 for rice. - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Out of the 6 or 7 fast food establishments in the food court, I chose this one because it had the longest line (which is normally a good sign). The menu consisted of salads, wraps, bowls, and smoothies. Out of the food court options, it appeared to be the healthiest. I ordered the Mediterranean bowl and added falafel as my protein. The bowl consisted of quinoa, field greens, feta cheese, kalamata olives, almonds, green onions, cucumber, cilantro, tomatoes, and roasted red pepper sauce. Pros: the bowls are large and have a fusion of flavors. Cons: the price ($15), the falafel had no flavor and was 3 small, Luke warm pieces. read more

Freshii - Mediterranean Bowl - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

This review is solely on the smoothie and the customer service because I never ate here before. Yesterday I ordered the tropical twist smoothie, and I told the cashier to please tell whoever is making it to be careful because I cant have it touch anything with strawberries because I'm allergic. She was very nice about it and put it in the receipt so she can talk to the worker who made it. The receipt literally said "*allergies *see cashier". I found that very nice that she did that because some places aren't that good with allergies. As for the taste, the smoothie was very good. The price was $6.49, though, and I though that was pretty ridiculous. My smoothie had banana, pineapple, mango, papaya, coconut, skim milk, and frozen kefir in it, and it had a very smooth texture. It wasn't the best tasting smoothie I've ever tasted, but it was good and you can taste the fresh ingredients. read more

Freshii - Tropical smoothie - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

I have increasingly found myself at the Loews Ohare for events and the glamour mall food court is the closest fast option for meals that aren't arranged at the hotel. Since Freshii appears to be the healthiest option (with Kong Dog a close second) I've been ordering lunches at this place. The food tastes decent enough but I'm reeling at the cost. I recently ordered a buffalo bowl and was astounded to find that the "protein" (tofu) added $3.50 to the price. Making it a bowl, whatever that means, added $1.50. I also ordered the small green smoothie which brought my total to over $23. But whatever, at least it's organic. Well... I've been doing some snooping at it seems that they have removed all references to "Organic" from their website and literature. I'm not sure what was in my bowl. To top it off, after sitting down with my meal I realized I needed a cup of water to deal with the buffalo heat (hiccups). When I asked for a cup at the counter to fill at the mall water fountain, they told me that I could spend an additional $2 for a wax paper cup. After spending $23 for a very basic lunch, they couldn't offer a free cup? I could almost understand this if I hadn't ordered a beverage with my meal. But I DID order one of their more expensive beverages! I think it's going to be Kong Dog and ice cream for me next time at the mall. btw, I recognize that pricing and perhaps food variety is probably as much a critique of the mall as it is this particular vendor. I may post a bad review for the mall as well but I think this one is a better review of my direct experience. read more

Can I tell you how I didn't enjoy my lunch at this Freshii in the Fashion Outlet mall? Well, too bad, you're going to hear. The veggies were fresh and that is the only positive I could come up with. I ordered the Buddha satay bowl that came with noodles. The veggies were fine, but the sauce was very thin and watery. There was not even a flavor to it so it was definitely watered down. I should have taken a picture of it but forgot to. It is nothing like what is pictured in the photos. As for the wonton crisps, not even a pinch of it. Service was not very friendly either. Their cold-pressed juices are ready made, but tasted better than the entree'. Enough said read more

Ordered a mango banana smoothie and due to health issues had to remove a lot of the other ingredients. The smoothie they made me was disgusting. It wasn't even a smoothie it was straight up mango flavored water. They told me because I'm doing substitutes they won't return it if I didn't like it. It's going straight in the trash and I'm NEVER coming back here. BLEH read more

I've never been so impressed with food from a mall food court! Freshii had an extensive menu of bowls, wraps, salads, and juices, that all sounded delicious! I ended up going with the Mediterranean bowl and adding chicken. I took it back to my hotel to eat, and even after the walk, the chicken was still hot! It was loaded with so many toppings and was almost to pretty to eat! The staff was friendly, too, and my order was ready within minutes. read more

Freshii - Mediterranean bowl with chicken - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

If I could give this place no stars, that would be The best review they could get. I waited for ten min for someone to take my order with no line, and decided to just walk away. How does this place do business without a face always at the front counter? I get that you're busy or understaffed, but just because there is no line doesn't mean you should overlook the one customer standing there waiting to make an order. Absolutely ridiculous way to run a business. Wish I could have tried your food, but won't be coming back to give you guys my money. read more

I ordered the Mediterranean bowl without any meat, to go, so I didn't see it until I was out of the mall. It was terrible. The sparse lettuce was brown and wilted. All of the vegetables seemed like they should have been tossed out long ago. It was anything but "Fresh" With a name like "Freshli" and pictures of healthy looking vegetables surrounding the store, I thought I was making a healthy choice. The bowl of weeks old vegetables also seemed to be tossed in a gross canola oil. I think a burger and fries would have been healthier and fresher. read more

Yep. That seems about right. 2 to 2 1/2 stars. The food is fresh, but about as bland as can possibly be. Portions are average, and the price is the usual brand of extortion that you find in food courts. We were looking forward to a fresh alternative to something fried, and are really regretting our choices. read more

Freshii - Teriyaki Twist Bowl, minus the teriyaki flavor - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Experience: Freshii is located in the food court of Chicago Fashion Outlets (Rosemont). Staff were friendly and even offered free samples. At the end, I ordered the falafel sandwich (pictures below) w/ additional sauces and ingredients for FREE. Parking: Chicago Fashion Outlets Parking Lot is attached to business. At this time, parking is free if going to the mall. Worth: If you are craving falafels or just a healthier option compared to your typical mall food, then Freshii is good place to go to. Drinks seem good, but was not able to try it at this time. May revisit to try them out. read more

Freshii - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

I was surprised to see what appeared to be a very health-conscious restaurant in a food court that was otherwise filled with your typical food-court choices (i.e. pizza, fast food, bad asian food, etc.) The location should have tipped me off about the quality of the food I was going to get. I also should've been suspicious because there was a Freshii open near my house at one point, but it closed very soon after. BUT I was intrigued by the concept, and I also got a free sample of their smoothie, and it tasted decently good (as good as healthy can get). Ordered the Buddha's satay. It is described as coming with rice noodles, carrots, soy beans, broccoli, bean sprouts, and I paid an additional $2 for tofu. What I got (see picture) was actually a giant mound of rather mushy, broken rice noodles with pathetic amounts of the other ingredients (I was actually really close to going back up to the counter because I thought they had forgotten the tofu... but it was actually just microscopic). Flavors were bland, broccoli was WAY undercooked, definitely not healthy (basically had a mountain of carbs). Should've gotten a pizza. read more

Freshii - Buddha satay - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Rosa J.'s parents were in town, all the way from Taiwan (my birthplace and childhood home), so she took them to the Fashion Outlets of Chicago to show them around. I personally don't have much interest in purchasing mall food, but for my health-conscious mom I commended Freshii with reservation. I'm not too crazy about the "flavors" because their food is, for the most part, very bland. I used to visit Freshii sometimes when the mall first opened. I've had their rice bowls, southwestern soup, and veggie wasabi wraps. I decided to change up and ordered their juice and smoothie (Mango Tango & Life Support). I enjoyed their Mango Tango. Who doesn't like fresh juice with natural sweetness coming from the mango? Nevertheless, the price was truly on the higher side: $8 and some change after tax! Well, those who would be able to afford Pr*da, Bur*erry, To*y Bur*h, and some luxury brands can certainly afford Freshii on a regular basis. Their salads are, for the most part, vegetarian-friendly, unless a choice of protein is added for an additional cost. The "Market" salad features kale, genoa rice, cranberries, apples, avocado, and spinach. I wish they included a special salad dressing to boost up the flavor. Overall, Freshii unlikely will get my repeated businesses. It may rank supreme in comparison to other American-Chinese food or some other pseudo-Italian pizza place, but after all it's just a type of franchise that is meant to live at the food court in an American mall. read more

This is why people don't eat healthy, because places like this make healthy so unappetizing! They got healthy all wrong. If you want to eat healthy here just make sure u get the right flavors.

If I wish hard enough will it come true? Or will I need a Genie for that? I wish we had Freshii in STL. This place is where clean eating happens. I entered the mall thinking I will have to grab a quick fastfood, greasy type of meal but I saw this place and was overjoyed. They have protein choices that came from antibiotic-free animals and their food are simply healthy and wholesome. I had the Buddha's Satay with turkey bowl and it was both filling and delicious. It had some rice noodles at the bottom, topped with some spicy sauce, then some turkey, carrot sticks, green onions, steamed broccoli and purple cabbage. For around $7, they give you quite a bit. I didn't even finish mine... Had to throw the rest away as there was yet more shopping to do! They should definitely open one in STL! read more

I like the vegan options here- tofu & falafel are protein choices. I got the buddah satay bowl with tofu. It was lukewarm at best though, & the inside of the broccoli was still cold. Had it been hot it would have been way better. My husband got a peanut butter shake & it was a little too watery. I am willing to come back though- the ingredients were great- the staff just needs to prepare the food better. read more

Freshii - Crowded for a Thursday lunchtime. - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Having frequented other Freshiis (in West Loop, and one in the Loop), I was so disappointed in this one. The teriyaki twist dish is normally delicious, and they added maybe dot of sauce, leaving a bland result. The kale salad was also not a food experience - the dressing tasted synthetic and the kale leaves were wilted. Not going back unfortunately. read more

I had a short layover at O'Hare airport and was staying in a hotel near this Freshii location. I was searching for something much more healthier than the typical hotel food (hot wings, quesadilla, burgers) and came across this place. I checked out their website and it looked and sounded great. However, that's not what it was. I ordered the mediterranean bowl. Added chicken (extra $$) the portion of this bowl is small for what you pay. Nearly $13.00. It lacked flavor. Very bland. With hardly any of the toppings listed on the menu. Overall I was very disappointed and will not be returning. The middle eastern place next to it probably would have been a better. read more

It was clear that the woman who made my wrap is still learning how to wrap a burrito/wrap. All the proteins were jammed at the bottom of the wrap, which, as I was eating, I initially thought she accidentally made a veggie wrap. When I ate most of the wrap, I found out that the proteins were all placed at the bottom. I know I shouldn't complain about a food court meal, but it was still a disappointing experience. read more

im only giving them a 2 star because of the service received. The young man dropped my bag of chips and then picked up from floor and placed right on top of my food. I was so upset. The young man had no clue absolutely no clue that he did wrong and then expected me to eat it. no remorse no apology nothing. The prices are high and food is bland. sorry. Was excited to eat something more fresh not fried and then this happens. So disappointe. read more

Worst service, anywhere, any place. I was standing in line looking at their menu board, waiting to put my order in. The employees kept talking with their friends, who came to visit and I just stood there waiting, even after eye contact. My wife stood there for a couple minutes more and got disgusted and went next door to Sbarro's and like an idiot, I waited. After waiting even longer, my wife got her food and was seated at a table and the employee at freshii was still busy talking with her friends, so I just walked away to watch my wife have lunch. Sometimes it doesn't pay to try to eat healthy. read more

Got the umamii salad with chicken. Came out to $10 even. A little steep for mall food but I think it's worth it for the ingredients in the salad. They also give you a quarter chunk of a whole avocado without extra cost which is also a plus. The salad comes mixed for you. It was well dressed, not too heavy or light. Its a great option if you want something healthier. Its also a bit cheaper overall than their competitors next door. read more

Its rare that a restaurant fails on multiple levels. Freshii claims to cater to vegetarian preferences, but my experience of their "spicy" vegetarian "lemongrass" soup was anything but a delightful vegetarian experience. The broth was advertised on the menu as a vegetarian lemongrass broth, but it was little more than barely flavored lukewarm water with vegetables, noodles and mushrooms, with no trace of lemongrass whatsoever. Upon requesting a refund, I was plainly told that because I chose the vegan option (which wasn't even on the menu, so how would I even know to order that?) and that the broth was "different" (and therefore, it was MY fault). The staff basically told me that what was on the menu was not what I had received, which alone should have been grounds for a refund, but they resisted. Coming to the next level of failure- sexism. I did get a refund, ultimately, but it was only after a fellow customer, a man, I might add, came along and repeated almost word-for-word the fact that both the cashier and the manager had just repeatedly told me that there was no lemongrass in the broth I ordered while standing before a menu board that declared "vegetarian lemongrass broth". And then, suddenly, the staff agreed and processed a refund, having resisted the exact same argument from me, a woman. Needless to say, I will not be dining at Freshii ever again. Bad food AND sexism? A bit too much to take. read more

First time trying something from here and coming from a pretty picky eater I'd say its definitely worth a try! I got the teriyaki twist with no cucumber and added chicken as my protein. I recommend getting the sauce on the side not only bc of calorie control but to keep the crispy wontons.. crispy. It's a pretty big serving too. I was full halfway through but kept pushing through bc they do add a good amount of chicken and wontons to balance out the veggies. read more

Freshii - Teriyaki twist - Salad Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

I usually opt for a healthy lunch/ dinner option at the mall. And every time I go to freshi at the mall I promise myself this will be my last! They're very slow, like 10 mins for a salad in a food court. Unprofessional and rude cashier, who would roll her eyes if you ask to change something in a salad and laugh with the girl in the back as if you're invisible and won't see them joking around making fun of your order. Please note I only changed the dressing. That was it. Im starting to think they're not clean as well, I didn't feel good after my salad yesterday. In the past they have forgotten to add chicken, messed up orders. At this point I will no longer go there. Go to MAAZ next to it you're better off with nicer employees. read more

I was excited to try a Freshii while recently traveling to Minneapolis because one is opening in my hometown. Worst mistake ever. The people in front of me seemed very confused as well (also first timers) when the girl working was trying to explain the menu and concept. I ordered a buffalo chicken wrap. The pros- it was huge. The cons- chicken was cold and kind of grossed me out. So much buffalo sauce. I saved the other half of the massive wrap (1. because it wasn't cheap) and it was soggy and leaking in the car within 15 minutes. Nothing seemed very fresh about this place. I am hoping the poor experience was due to it being in a mall...I will definitely give the one that is opening near me a go in the future. read more
