It's the best salads I've ever had! The best in the city. So different from the usual!

I still love their salads, although I am bummed that they replaced the pickled apricots with the cheaper pickled golden raisins instead. It makes a noticeable difference in the Awake or Vibrant salads. They've also introduced new, non-salad items to their menu: -Beef Bolognese: Flavorful, great portion, good texture. -Chicken Bone Broth Soup: Tasty 16 oz portion, but I was expecting a lot more filling inside. There was very little actual chicken and vegetables in this. It was mostly broth. The items are always well wrapped for takeout, though their brown bag doesn't have handles, so you should bring your own to drop the paper bag into. Also note that they charge extra for utensils. read more

Fantastic food! I was ordering lunch for my team, and they were super diligent to label each food item and sauce that accompanied them perfectly! The service was tremendous. The falafel salad was great, the hummus was delicious and the falafels were cooked very well. Certainly will order again. read more

This place is an absolute gem. And if you blink, you'll miss it! Situated on a hill, you'll have a nice view while you wait! The staff were lovely and everyone seemed really happy to help even though they were incredibly busy. But the salad. Oh my gosh the salad. I grabbed the bag and headed to the park. When I pulled it out of the bag, I was shocked to see how much they packed in the bowl! I couldn't believe the portion size. Ot was one of the most delicious salads I have ever eaten in my life. This was the perfect picnic food. Highly recommend! read more

Magnificently packed. Cheerful to look at as well as to eat. I like getting food just for myself here. The Awake salad and their muhammara both excellent. Working my way through the menu... You can see from the factory-line production how well loved they are by groups, but at scale that somehow makes the presentation seem more mundane. Nicer to think it was prepared just for you. They also have a fine selection of partner kitchens whose food they offer (soupchu!). read more

I like their motto: "Life is too short for an ordinary salad." I have tried the Awake Salad (egg, feta, cucumber, pickled onion, pickled apricot, spiced sunflower, pumpkin seeds, kale, and romaine with spicy potato spread) and the Lentil Mental Salad (red lentil balls, crispy onion, tabouli, red cabbage pickles, pomegranate, kale, and romaine with herb labneh spread); both were great. They were both definitely not ordinary -- with lots of flavors, colors, and textures. I especially liked the spreads in both salads that almost acted like a thick second dressing. For the protein add-ons, I liked the kofte meatballs. I expected the chicken protein add-on to be plain white meat chicken, but it was actually very sauced. With their salads already full of sauces and spreads, adding a heavily sauced protein resulted in an unbalanced pairing (1 star off). Note: I ordered the salads for delivery and the order arrived coming from a place called Sumac Istanbul Eats. Once I confirmed the contents of the delivery, it was smooth sailing (and eating) from there. read more

Awesome delivery experience to my hotel. Healthy food is challenging to find on vacation, and this exceeded my expectations! read more

Saucy Greens - Salad Near Me - San Francisco, California

When I was taking a walk toward Fisherman's Wharf, I noticed a crowd had gathered at the corner of Leavenworth and Union. I wasn't aware that they were all patronizing the nondescript shop, but the large takeout salads I saw piqued my curiosity. I came back a few weeks later, and it was just as busy. It was a bit confusing at first because I didn't see a menu. I walked up to the register and saw there were three different menus for three separate businesses - Saucy Greens for salad bowls, Soupchu for soups and stews, and Sumac for Middle Eastern bites. I was here for a salad but also got a soup which I reviewed separately (review: https://bit.ly/3ZHvo9c). I decided on the $15 Vibrant Salad. They slathered the plastic container with a spicy dip called muhammara. It was made of walnuts, red peppers, pomegranate molasses, and breadcrumbs. Then the salad itself was stacked in starting with the mixed greens followed by beets, marinated feta, fennel, pickled onions, and spiced sunflower and pumpkin seeds (photo: https://bit.ly/3mO6hmE). It was quite an abundant serving which I took away and trundled down the steep hill to Francisco Park. It was there at one of the blocky picnic tables that I noticed the server forgot my utensils. I asked specifically for a fork and a spoon for the soup, but I didn't think to confirm their presence in the bag. It was too daunting to climb the hill, so I had to take my food, walk up Polk Street, beg for a fork from another cafe, and find another park to eat. It was tasty but man... FOOD - 4 stars...quite a mammoth salad well assembled, healthy and full of flavor AMBIANCE - n/a...a moot point since the space was not set up for dining SERVICE - 2 stars...nice but chaotic and uncoordinated...they even asked if I needed utensils TOTAL - 4 stars...great salad bowl hampered by missing utensils...bring your own spork!

OMG, this is such a hidden gem in the city - perfect for a quick and flavorful lunch with an unbeatable view while you wait. I tried their falafel bowl and wow, so good. The flavor was bold, fresh and perfectly balanced with other ingredients. The falafels were especially on point - crispy outside, soft inside and packed with so much flavor. The location is small and takeout-only, so just a heads up there's no dine-in, but honestly, with the view you get nearby, it's the perfect grab and go spot. Saucy Greens totally delivers - 10/10! read more

I have dreams of this salad. This place serves up banging salads which are worthy of being called salad or meals or even worth driving to their location on the SF hills. As far as the ambience goes, it doesn't seem to be dine in, just an ordering/pickup window. Parking can be an issue in this area and I'm not sure about delivery. But we placed for pick-up and also called to request that they pack sauces and dips separately to which they kindly obliged. We did one lentil bowl and the other was chicken based (glow bowl). I love yogurt/feta based dips so I was obsessed with those while my partner loved the pink vinaigrette (which is a first for him!), The bowls are loaded, easily suffice for over 2 meals. Packed and made with love. High time they decide to franchise because more places need this. read more

If you think salads are boring, you haven't had Saucy Greens! They serve the most fresh and vibrant salads for such a reasonable price. I love that each salad comes with a homemade spread and is packed full of toppings. Eating one of these salads keeps me full for almost the whole day, but protein add-ons are available if you're extra hungry. My favorite is the Awake salad - it comes with spicy potato spread, organic egg, marinated feta, cucumber, pickled onion, pickled apricot, and spiced sunflower and pumpkin seeds with kale and romaine. So delicious! It's an explosion of flavors and textures, in the best way. read more

ordered pick up from here, definitely a very unique salad spot to check out. I got a custom bowl and added multiple hummus options/sauces. I loved the sumac sauce (it's a pink one) - very flavorful. I wasn't a huge fan of the falafels - they are orange in color and tasted very different from typical falafels. Was happy with portion size - huge salads for the price. Overall would suggest trying this spot if you are a fan of colorful/unique salad combinations. Would give this place a 3.5 - rounding to 4 for the good customer service. read more

This review is going to be simple and sweet. Visit this place!!!!!! I got the Awake Salad, recommended to me by the kind lady taking orders in the front window of the shop, a little space on the top of a hill in the Russian Hill district. And I'm so glad she did; it was a nourishing, filling, beautiful salad that made me feel like I could run a hundred miles after scarfing it down. I love a salad that is heaped with a huge diversity of ingredients and this one fit the bill for sure. You can peer into the shop and see everyone packing up orders and it just seems like such a vibe. So clean. So fresh. I'll be back when I'm in the area! read more

Only doing takeout/to go orders! Pro tip is def to order ahead because they are cranking out orders so the wait can be a little even though it's just salad/soup. The smell of the place is incredible. The food smells so so good and waiting outside for your food is dangerous. Ordered the passion salad but asked for vegetarian so they switched to muhummara and also got the red lentil soup. Portion size was great and both really tasted so fresh and good. read more

Objects are smaller than it looks but the salad is big and packed. Who thought of opening a place with just a window and the inside is an assembly line kitchen. There's got to be 10 workers in there. There are packages of bags ready for pickup. Two Uber eats drivers waiting for their orders at 7 pm. Car had to circle before their order was ready. Why is it on a corner on top of the hill? With no parking. No seating. But apparently their business is doing great. What business model do they have? Somebody got to write them up and get a background story. They have one like this in Los Angeles. The Vibrant salad $15 was delicious. This is California, we have the best fruits and veggies. I can't include all the ingredients, probably at least 10 . Marinated onions us delicious. Add some pumpkin seed nuts for a crunch. Cubes of beets. Muhammara (roasted red pepper sauce, a little kick. Kale. Yummy. I had to try the banana pudding $9. Good banana flavor read more

Saucy Green=Sumac Istanbul Street Food I was confused at first looking for a restaurant called Saucy Greens when I only saw Sumac. Do not be fooled, this is the place you are looking for. I arrived at peak lunch time and is very busy and efficient. Place your order on their website for fast pickup. I placed my order at the front door but was kindly encouraged to use a more contemporary approach! ;). There is no indoor service or seating what so ever. Your order will be packed to go. Salad review: Herb Passion Salad with added Lentil Balls ($14+$5) Worth every penny! Citrus massaged kale and Romain greens, chopped apricots, toasted pumpkin and sunflower seeds, chickpeas, sliced radishes, marinated red pepper and onion, a gentle cumin sprinkling, with a tzatziki style dressing! Boom! Plus the lentil balls are slightly spicy topped with onions caramélisés! EXCELLENT balance of harmonious flavors all around! read more

If there's something that SF does well, it's salads. And this is one of the best and most filling ones I've had. Got the vibrant salad with a side of chicken. Came with pickled onions, beets, fennel, feta, etc. This was humongous and I struggled to finish it. So tasty and fanatic though. Also came with muhammara at the bottom and side and honestly made it so much better. The chicken on the side was very flavorful, tender, and juicy - heavily spiced with middle eastern spices. Totally worth it and so much better compared to what you would get at Sweetgreen read more

Saucy Greens - Vibrant Salad - Salad Near Me - San Francisco, California

Insert the "I got beans, greens, potatoes, tomatoes" line by Shirley Caesar, and this is indeed how I feel about Saucy Greens. They sell healthy and saucy salads for crying out loud, but have such a unique way of combining ingredients-herb labneh spread, tabouli, red cabbage pickles, and romaine with saucy vinaigrette in order to make them as memorable and comforting as less wholesome foods. Like your local shop in the city, they are at the corner of a hill with a pickup window and zero to none seating. The Pink Power Salad was a good dip into the pool, but the Awake Salad is where the deep end lies. There are a total of seven salads on their menu, and I'm making it my 2022 goal to try all of them! read more

During a once a year San Francisco heatwave, I want nothing but a salad, and Saucy Greens delivered a unique, fresh, vibrant salad. I tried their most popular salad - Potato Lovers. A unique spicy potato spread and pickled apricot really hit a home run for me. I've never had either of those options on my salad so I was very pleasantly surprised how well the flavors came together. For the price, I thought it was such a steal since the salad lasted me two meals! Keep in mind Saucy Greens shares a kitchen with Sumac and a soup place so its not exactly your dine in type of restaurant. Its more for delivery or pick up. What's nice is that I was able to use my Yelp app to order for pick up, and my ~10 min walk from Washington Square was more than enough time to have my meal ready for pick up and ready to go :) read more

Hands down the best salads in San Francisco - chock full of fresh ingredients that mix well together both in appearance and taste. Portion size is large enough to stretch to two meals and I love how the spread is generous and literally coats the veggies when mixed. My personal fave is the "Potato Lovers" salad with spicy potato spread, beets, marinated feta, radish, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, pickled apricot on kale and romaine blend with saucy vinaigrette. You can add and subtract ingredients, but it's all so tasty. Perfect for delivery and on the go. Packaging travels and keeps well. This place is my go-to now for a hearty as well as healthy meal! read more

Ordered for pick up thru Grubhub. They are only doing take out service. I think they also go by the name, "Sumac." Got the vibrant salad. This salad is enough for 2 meals! Never had Muhammara before and it was so delicious! The salad comes in a clear plastic bowl and for good reasons. The layers and colors and textures displayed, it was just beautiful and so satisfying to eat. Can't wait to try the other salads next time. Deducted one star because they charge $0.25 for utensils! I don't mind charging for a bag, but for a fork to eat with my salad? SMH. Luckily I had chopsticks from a different take out order to enjoy at the park. This was also my first time eating fennel. I had no idea it tastes like licorice. Not a fan, but that's my personal taste. read more

This salad was so incredibly good, I got the Potato Lover Salad and added chicken to it. There were so many fun flavors at play with the tart picked apricots and crunchy nuts and really well seasoned chicken. The vinaigrette was a nice tart balance to the sweetness of the beets, overall super good! The potato spread surprisingly worked really well with the whole dish! Added bonus was that this salad is so big that I was able to split it out over 2 meals! Definitely recommen read more

Saucy Greens - Potato Lover Salad - Salad Near Me - San Francisco, California

The salads look great but the flavor was a bit average. We also thought that the chicken soup was quite bland.

We walked here from the Courtyard Marriott at the Wharf, basically a 15 minute uphill climb after a long day traveling and sightseeing. I'm no climber, but this great takeout was worth it. Be warned, there are no tables at this takeout window. We took comforting soup, salad, and stew back to our hotel and dug in. This takeout window actually combines three restaurants- Saucy Greens, Sumac, and soup something or other, with overlapping menus and ingredients and choices to mix and match. Portions were generous, the ingredients were healthy, and our meals were ready in less than 10 minutes. I would happily return on my next visit to San Francisco. read more

Big mistake ordering from this place. Such a sad, low quality salad. I'm so sorry I cheated on MIXT. Never again.

I purchased the glow salad and added pickled beets with a side of falafel. This was probably one of the best salads I've ever had. The carrot labneh was impeccably creamy and rich, while providing the entire salad with a satisfying flavor. I wish they had plain roasted beets to add because the pickled ones were a little much for me. The falafel were so crispy and delicious even my chickpea-hater boyfriend enjoyed them! Service was fast and the vibe was cute but the restaurant is currently under construction so we ordered takeout. One con is that the bowls are so small, it's hard to mix the salad up if you're a mixer. I had to take it home and put it in a big salad bowl (which was filled to the brim!!). Not a terrible problem to have, but if you're planning on eating on the go, it's a bit challenging to get the perfect bite. Otherwise, I will definitely we back with my salad bowl in the backseat because these salads are the BOMB! read more

So. Good. I tried to recreate these salads at home, but it was a ton of work and did not taste quite as good. They have these sauces with, like, sweet potato and another one with beets (that makes it pink!) that are DELICIOUS. I try to go here every time I am in the area. read more

Top tier salad joint! I got the hummus and warm pita along with the glow salad. Easily one of the best takeout meals I've had in a long time. The pickled apricot and onions really elevate the salad. The seeds add crunch and texture! There isn't enough great things to say about this spot. Not your boring, conventional salad and that's why they stand out. Delivery and take out only. read more

This isn't a salad, it's heaven! First time here. I ordered the awake salad ( per employees rec) I added red lentil balls, but I could have done without the red lentil, the salad was perfect on its own. Every element of the salad had a different layer of flavor. From the crisp pickled onions to dill cucumbers, sweet and tart apricots. This salad was fresh, filling YUMMY! We also ordered the potato lover and hummus- so flavorful and tasty! read more

Okay, they reached out to say they refunded my order and also changed the discrepancy in menu pricing. I ate the salad over 3 days - it was good and larger than I anticipated. A good take out option near Lombard St. read more

The Falafeel salad is one of the best salads I have ever had. Everything is beautifully flavored and all of the ingredients blend well together. The only reason I only give 4 stars and not 5 is because $17 for a salad is outrageous no matter how delicious it is. I had this for lunch and found myself hungry less than 2 hours later. Not worth that price for me unfortunately. read more
