Stopped by this place for a juice. You can taste the celery, bitter melon and cucumbers, but the sweetness from apple was not enough. Buy overall quality and price are good. Will return.
Giving this a review after coming here for a handful of times. First off, I'd like to say that I'm really glad there's something healthy like this in Flushing. Being a semi-health conscious eater and coming to this area frequently, it's great to have a fresh juice bar/smoothie place when you're not looking to drink bubble tea. (no hate on boba, I still love it) Secondly, this little establishment is primarily just a pick-up place. There's no seating area if you wanted to hang around. Leaf garden is a small open counter located in Arcadia Mall off of Main Street. Yesterday, I picked up a fresh juice called Daily Green on the menu (consists of apple, carrot, cucumber, ginger, and lemon) and it was refreshing and delightful. Ingredients were all fresh and definitely hit the spot. I only wish I had asked for ice to be put in the blender though because I like my drinks icy cold. Beyond just the drinks and smoothies, I've also had their healthy hearty chicken salad multiple times and I simply love it. It has everything you need if you're looking for something light but filling. What's in it? Spring mix, cubes of grilled chicken, egg, cherry tomato, corn, chickpeas and avocado. All the ingredients have been very fresh every time I ate it and satisfies me. Now this place isn't like other salad places like Sweetgreen or Chopt in NYC but it's enough for me. I also appreciate that the prices aren't ridiculously overpriced! Definitely try this place out if you're in the area to pick up a fresh juice or something as it's conveniently located and it's great for your body!
Lin Garden is one of the best places to grab a salad in flushing. The BLT chopped salad is one of the best I've tried.
Refreshing salad near where I live, I asked for shrimp salad with soft green juice. The owner gave me large since she ran out of spinach. She replaced it with kale instead. Portion is enough for dinner. Veggies are fresh. Shrimp is over cooked so it's a bit rubbery. But overall it's great salad. Soft green juice is great and I would definitely come back again.
Great place for juice. $5.45 for a medium, friendly staff, and they don't water down your drink. Just a bit of ice on top of the veggies (I got a Deep Green with kale, spinach, celery, apple, cucumber, and lemon). Came back for an $8.00 healthy hearty chicken salad. FRESH--the salad greens were organic; you could TASTE the difference. :) Could use a seating area.
I was looking for a salad spot and Leaf Garden always popped up on yelp. I decided to give it a try. They have tons of options to choose from. I decided to "make your own salad". I ordered organic spring mix, cherry tomato, red onion, carrots, cucumbers and cage free chicken. I wanted to try a different type of dressing since I feel like I always chose the same old Italian, or oil & vinegar. So my choice of dressing was lemon parsley w/olive oil. I also added avocado too for additional charge. Since salads already come with the avocado but since I chose "make your own salad" the avocado was an additional charge. The salad was very good. It was good decent portion. Overall it was delicious but the only thing that bothered me was that they forgot to add the avocados. I paid extra for the avocado and once I got home there was no avocado to be found. (I should of checked before leaving)
Though they're known for their salads, I usually stop by for their herbal jelly dessert. It comes with 3 toppings and extra evaporated milk if you want to add in. The sweetness of the red bean balances out the other toppings and jelly, since those don't have a very strong flavor. The taro mochi ball is probably my favorite topping. I've ordered from Lin Garden several times but never left a review so this is long overdue. I've ordered salad from them before as well, but that was quite a while ago since I don't have salads often. Overall a great spot with fresh ingredients and good portions!
Got me a healthy lunch today to make sure I shit all the bad stuff out, ya know? Thoughts: I ordered the Healthy Hearty Chicken Salad w/ balsamic vinaigrette for $8 + tax. It was fresh and tasted delish But dayum, eating healthy is expensive
To be honest, I don't even like salad but the salad they make here was better than I expected. I've been here a few times already and it's now the only place I order from when I'm in the mood for some salad. Most of the salads on the menu are $8-9 before tax, but you can also customize your own salad with whatever they have starting from $7. I like the Avocado Veggie Salad w/ creamy sesame dressing so that's what I usually end up getting. They make the salads to order and it usually takes them around ~10 mins. Keep in mind the wait-time is going to be longer if you want grilled steak on your salad or something. Either way, I recommend calling in the order if you know what you want and don't like waiting. Especially since you'll likely just be standing around since the Mall/building removed all the benches they had there a while ago for whatever reason.
If you have any severe allergies or are vegan or can't eat a kind of meat, do not go here. If you care to read any of my other reasons to not go here, please take a seat and get cozy, as I have a whole lot to say. Let's start with their lack of preparation. I came in at 1:05pm and was going to originally order the grilled shrimp salad, but they were out of shrimp. My initial thought was "oh, ok, a lot of people must like the shrimp. Cool, whatever." So I ordered the grilled salmon salad with avocado (+$1) and paid $11.12 after checking in for 5% off. I was told there would be a 15-minute wait for my order and so I went outside and sat on the bus stop in front, as it was stuffy inside and there were no seats anywhere to wait. While waiting, I saw one of the three people working run outside to go into the supermarket across the street. She came back with bags of eggs, packages of vegetables, and a bag of shrimp. Cool. After I waited 15 minutes, I went back in to see if my order was ready. It was not. I decided to wait by the glass casing, in front of where all the salads are prepared. I really enjoy watching people slice vegetables, so I did this purely for entertainment. I stopped being entertained rather quickly, and instead was really, really disgusted. Everything came straight out of the packaging without being washed. The one person actually making the salads used the same knife to cut EVERYTHING!!! Chicken, bacon, apples, tomatoes, salmon...whatever! All cut by the same knife on the same area of the cutting board. (Side note: As disgusted as I was, I was still super impressed with the man's knife skills. Amazing.) All the protein is cooked on tiny panini press/George Foreman-kinda grills. I understand that not everything can be done with gloves. I don't really care about the whole wearing gloves thing, if your hands are washed and all you're touching is the food. But that was not the case. While wearing gloves, one girl was going on and touching everything. From money to opening up packages of things to whatever else she was doing, this girl was touching everrrryyyythhiiinnnnggg. Ok, so after all this, I finally get my salad. After waiting a total of 45 minutes. I hopped on a bus, and hoped that after all this, my salad would at least taste good. It was not. I just finished eating it and while they give a plentiful amount of salmon, it tasted gross. It was """seasoned""" with nothing but a whole lot of black pepper and the tiniest bit of salt. The ponzu sesame sauce just tasted like an asian vinaigrette. I hate posting bad reviews of small businesses and I really really really wanted to enjoy my salad, but as a broke ass college student that just shelled out $11 for this dumb salad... I think this place barely deserves 1 measly star. Thanks for reading, y'all. Get your salad elsewhere.
Surprisingly good! I ordered the shrimp salad and hot herb jelly (with tapioca, sago, red beans) to go. Flavor profile, freshness, everything was on point. I really liked the house sauce that came with it, actually it was the highlight of the salad. But the reason why a star is taken off is because of the portion. I usually never finish my meals, but for this, I finished everything and still felt hungry. The portion itself is enough for a light meal but not a real entree. I also originally wanted to order the bowl (it was on the menu) but they said they didn't serve that because they don't have anything with rice. Then I opted for the steak salad but they said they also don't have steak at the moment. So I ended up with a shrimp salad which wasn't my first choice at all. And I'm also a big bubble tea fan because I love tapioca, but the tapioca on the herb jelly was not good. It was edible but not what I would call good tapioca. It had no flavor, it clumped together, and stuck to your teeth. I'd advise to opt for another topping.
Came here today & got the " Jamaica sunshine " juice, I couldn't believe there was no added sugar in it, it's delicious! I most definitely recommend this place to anyone who's in flushing looking for freshly squeezed juices & a great variety of them also :) will definitely try one of their salads my next time around!
5 STAR!! Food is amazing, customer service is THE BEST! So friendly & welcoming, Impeccably clean environment. I will Definitely be back! Where has this place been my whole life?!

The weather was in the high 80s today. Lin Garden is located inside Arcadia Mall. I have been on a healthy journey for the past month. I tried to order the Grilled Salmon Salad without chickpeas but the employee didn't understand me. Luckily, another customer helped with the translation. Tangram was less than a 20-minute walk. I decided to grab a table there. The Special Salad ($14) Grilled Salmon Salad + Organic Spring Mix + Grilled Salmon + Egg + Cherry Tomato + Corn - Chickpeas Pick a Dressing Lemon Parsley w/Olive Oil The grilled salmon and salad dressing were bland. I was disappointed with my salad! read more
First time here ,the avocado sandwich tasted bad. The red onion flavor in the sandwich was way too harsh. It overpowered all the ingredients and had a bad aftertaste too. The acai bowl was just watery mush and nothing like the photos advertised. For my first time here, the experience was not good at all. I came back though to try their drinks. They are on point and make me energized and healthy. So far my favorite one is the Green drink with cucumbers and kale. I feel there are not a lot of healthy options that are total vegan. This is one place that could satisfy. read more

Got the customized Salmon salad and Jamaica Sunshine smoothie the second time and it did not disappoint! Jamaica Sunshine has orange, papaya and carrot. I actually got confused and thought this would be juice but it came as a smoothie. Fine with me cause it was still so delicious! No sugar added. The lady was so kind to give me the leftovers from the blender too. And it was only $5! Salmon salad was good but wasn't anything I can't make. I love that the salmon was baked in their mini oven and comes hot on top of your salad. My only complaint is that they didn't give me a good piece of salmon and I kind of noticed they didn't for someone else too. It was still delicious. Also they don't chop their salads which makes it difficult for me to eat without making a mess. Really good lunch after my workout. I can't wait to come back again but I would probably skip the salads next time. read more
100% fresh ingredients chopped and diced right in front of you. Salad ranges about $10 after tax which is a little pricy for this particular location considering the fact that it is competing with city prices. Juices are $5 which is very reasonable and the sizing is generous. They also have the iconic Taiwanese grass jelly herbal dessert made with taro/sweet potato glutinous balls and other traditional sides such as red bean and tapioca. Again, everything is super fresh and the employees here are lovely. P.s There are no seating in doors but you can find a bench or two where you can sit close by and munch on! read more

To say I'm obsessed with this establishment would be an understatement. I feel like an absolute health goddess when I order from here. I recommend the "hearty chicken salad" with their lemon parsley dressing to everyone because it seriously is the best salad I've ever had. The ingredients are unbelievably fresh; I always get the most beautifully green avocados and crispiest greens in my salads. And be sure to get the watermelon slush for a naturally sweet and refreshing drink!! I never felt so compelled to write a review based on something as simple as a salad before, but seeing as I've ordered this several times now I felt it was time. read more
This place is a breath of fresh air for flushing. I really love the concept. They do not precut their salad toppings, so everything is really fresh. This is especially great for avocado, no brown spots! They cook their meat upon order too (I could tell because I smelled the bacon grilling, and my grilled shrimp came out steaming hot). The downside to this is that we had to wait about 20 minutes for our food. Next time, I would order ahead... They are located inside Arcadia mall (next to Bank of China), near the entrance. There is no seating here, so it's more of a takeout kind of place. Here is a review of what I've tried: Grilled shrimp salad - loved all the toppings (avocado, cherry tomatoes, corn, chickpeas), the balsamic vinaigrette was good, but the shrimp was a little lacking flavor. I would get the salad again, but try a different protein next time. The salad looked a bit small but it was surprisingly pretty filling. BLT panini - this was very tasty. The bacon was crispy and not oily/greasy like how bacon can sometimes be. I just wish the sandwich was a little bigger. Jelly dessert - I really like this!! I got this with red bean, sago, and sweet potato (I wanted mochi but they were out). This pairs really well with the condensed milk they give you on the side. I like how it isn't overly sweet. The grass jelly had a great texture. The portion is pretty generous, enough for two people to share. Jamaica sunshine - I got this drink because a lot of yelpers recommended it. I personally hated it and wouldn't get it again. I tasted mostly the carrot. It was like drinking carrot juice with a hint of papaya. I'm sure it's healthy though (definitely tastes healthy...). I also felt it needed some ice. I was expecting it to be a smoothie/slushie texture but it's more of a juice. I do like how they don't add sugar and it's just pure fruit. Watermelon juice - this was pretty refreshing. My husband liked it, but again, I wish it had more ice / was more of a slushie. read more

I yelped for a salad place in Flushing (which barely exists) and this place came up! I've been coming here for a couple of weeks consecutively. I'm scared of trying new places and seems odd to finally have a salad place in FLUSHING but I tried it anyways. Verdict? I love this place! Their salads and hot herbal jelly have been my go to orders here and no regrets. Lately it has been a long wait but I don't mind knowing they are making everything freshly on the spot. The workers are also always working swiftly and nonstop so I have respect for that. I usually call ahead of time to order so I give them some time to make it and by the time I get there, I can pick up or wait awhile until it is done. I usually don't like to wait because I am always on-the-go but if I want quality, nicely presented salads, I go here. The workers are also really nice and care about your orders. Love the fact they have kale (big fan) So thank goodness for finally having a great salad place in Flushing! (It's about time!) read more

Love their freshly made salad. It's a good alternative when you're craving for something healthy in the neighborhood. The only down side is that they can get really busy and the wait time can be more than 20min. so be sure to call ahead if you're planning to order from here . They don't have any seat because they're located in a mini mall . Smoothies and juices are freshly made as well. read more
