I love the variety & customizable options sweetgreen offers but was a little worried about the freshness & portions. The salad was fresh and I loved that I was able to customize it to my liking. It's so refreshing to see that they have some vegetarian protein options like chickpeas for the salads. I do wish that this salad had slightly more of the pesto dressing but overall It was super tasty!

I got the new collab with fish wife and the can is so cute. Overall not taking price into consideration it's such a well balanced lunch option fresh and delicious. But also thinking about how this cost $20 it seems a little excessive price wise. Personally yes these are all things I could throw together at home so paying for the convenience of having it already made.

You enter right where you order, so usually you have to go around people in tight quarters. I'd recommend ordering online because there isn't a ton of waiting space for to-go orders. They have a mixed menu of American and asian, so they have something for everyone. I tried the curry udon noodle soup with fried chicken and the Philly roll. The soup was alright! Very strong curry with a slight kick but nothing spicy. I'm not the biggest fan of udon noodles because of the texture but it fit well with the broth. You get a huge portion size as well. The Philly roll was nothing special and the salmon was warm (I like it chilled). Prices are cheap and who doesn't love that! I love their menu and want to come back and try some other things!

However, with all of that said it was very delicious - so this place is a treat versus a frequent visit for me. I think they're doing very well, they semi-recently did a big construction overhaul. If you go during traditional lunch hours, expect a line... and maybe nowhere to sit. Outside of that, I visit occasionally when I visit my office - which is nearby. Every visit the food is fresh and I'm not disappointed. Some gyro places you have dry stale meat and it's such a bummer - not here. Be prepared to pay BUT try them out!

The interior is large…read morewith plenty of seating but it is a little sparse when it comes to decor and lacks a bit when it comes to making it feel welcoming and a place you want to dine in. I was able to order quickly and ordered the salad bowl with lamb (which cost extra). It took a little bit for my food to be ready, but since it wasn't the shaved lamb (which was what I thought I was getting) and instead was a grilled lamb that was made fresh. I enjoyed the vinaigrette and the salad was a little small but fresh and I also enjoyed the feta. Overall it was a healthy, good option while I was in the area and did what I needed, but feel they could use a little more decor so it doesn't feel so sparse.

It's the whole "oh it's upscale so less is more" concept. And listen, yes, the lamb was amazingly tasty, as were the veggies that came with it. I'm definitely not saying the food wasn't good; it was excellent, it just sorta felt like a rip-off? And the chocolate torte the four of us shared at the end was also REALLY yummy (but $10 for a small slice w/ a scoop of vanilla, so it better be). If you've got money to blow, by all means, but for the majority of us, this ain't it. I was sincerely dubious the moment we drove up. The place is in a hole-in-the-wall run-down strip mall and the parking lot is full of potholes. The Chinese place right beside it looks like they haven't replaced their signage in thirty years, or maybe they're outta business. When we proceeded inside I could tell the owners had done their best to convert a crappy space into something roleplaying as modern and fancy. It felt a little out of place. The ambiance wasn't all that stellar (which is normally not something I much bother commenting on, but again if you're gonna charge thirty bucks a plate, I begin to factor in more nit-picky things like that); there wasn't any music or anything to cover up the perpetual mechanical hum that seemed to emanate from the kitchen? The bathrooms had a similar kind of "gloss" over it. I was unimpressed that the men's was just a unisex stall without a urinal or anything that actually makes it "men's." Like, just convert your two single stall bathrooms into gender-neutral or all-gender (literally all that takes is swapping signage) so people aren't "waiting" for the "correct gendered toilet" when there's zero difference between the two. It's 2026, y'all. We don't need to practice pointless segregation. Service was reasonably quick, food was hot. The server did a good job of keeping up with my in-laws' unslakeable thirst for iced tea. Everyone was polite enough to us. And I appreciated they were open fairly late into the evening on a Tuesday!

I only noticed two servers taking care of everyone, and as busy as it was, I never felt forgotten. Our servers were friendly, efficient, helpful, and very welcoming. The meal was tasty. I got the Lomo Saltado lunch entree. The rice was seasoned lightly but deliciously. The beef included bell peppers and onions which paired nicely with the rice. The salad was supposed to include a vinaigrette, but I didn't notice anything. Nevertheless it was fine, as was the yuca which had a little green coating. The tres Leche was very good, and had a little toasted coconut on top. I would definitely get again. This is in a part of town I'm not familiar with so I would have never known it was there had my friend nor suggested it. That said I would return and recommend it to others.

I was happy with the actual chicken, it was thin, flavorful, and perfect for a sandwich!! I also liked the sauce and the slaw. The one bit I didn't love was the bun - it was stale and dry. All in all, not a bad chicken sandwich but not great. I would come back to try boneless wings.

There is no indoor seating at this Edina location - so please keep that in mind. The staff was friendly, food came in a timely manner, restaurant was clean and prices are reasonable. The only complaint here is that you have to take your food to go. Everything was superb and we will be back! The pickles are also pretty amazing here! Sliced thick with a crunch! Chicken was savory and extremely flavorful! Excellent flavor! Choose your force level! I got medium and it was the perfect amount of spice for me! (I tend to like more spice!) Again - go check it out! You won't be disappointed! Thanks again!

Parking is a little tricky around here - I recommend one of the free parking ramps. Their menu is pretty simple with a handful of salad and bowl options. I like that! Not too overwhelming. My brother and I both got the chicken bacon ranch salad. You can do substitutions but we stuck with everything. Service was quick and friendly! ~$30 for two salads and two drinks. And the drinks were delish! They had a handful of fresh made teas and lemon waters and we loved them. Salads were delicious; well dressed, and the right portion so you don't have extra leftover.

In terms of taste, the birria ramen was very salty, to the point that I had to water it down a bit to finish it. I appreciated the idea of having this option but I seriously think more meat and more noodles are needed for the consomé to not have an overpowering taste. The tacos tasted good as usual and had a good amount of ingredients which I loved. Previously I came here to get lengua tacos and they had very little dry lengua meat. The torta was also good in the most conventional way, which grilled chicken, mayo, and more. Back in the days I used to order a tray of tacos, 25 of them, for about $75 which I believe is still the case for the same price. I know that people in general will appreciate this establishment for its affordability on comfort food that will feed lots.

Was very surprised with the Arabe Taco... had the asada and it was great, especially for the value!! Beats anything Taco Bell can come up with plus fresh ingredients. As far as the burrito... it's just as packed and heavy as a Chipotle burrito but with REAL MEXICAN flavors... the Al Pastor is the crowd favorite and I can see why... not very traditional but very tasty! Ordered through Uber eats and had my food prepped and delivered to me within 30 mins.
