I work upstairs and I felt I owed it to my fatass to get a salad, but maybe I chose the wrong salad... Or maybe it was a good salad if I just swapped out the salmon... Upon opening it up I noticed two things, the salmon was chopped up and not whole as pictured, nor as how it is in-store which immediately triggered my brain to think they were trying to stretch the salmon they had left and gave me less for the $22 I spent. Second, the salad looked dry as it had very little to no dressing (luckily I had asked for a side) I wish I had more dressing to mask the extra fishiness of the salmon. I wasn't extremely happy nor extremely disappointed but I definitely didn't finish it; it wasn't "devourable" for reasons mentioned above but it was also a very large salad; I would love the option to pay $11 for half the size salad but maybe I'd go back and order one with chicken... we'll see. The staff was okay and the place is bright and clean. All that being said, I did go back, I added spicy chicken to the strawberry salad and it was pretty decent. They moved three doors down (not a reference to the band) between these two experiences and I dnno, I'd sooner get carbs from the bagel place that took their spot when they moved. Not a big fan of using salad space to stick a dressing container, or the lack of food for $23. Fresh ingredients and actually a really good salad. read more

BF ordered a Greek salad, removed chicken but added charred broccoli. I had a perfect Caesar with unexpectedly amazing dressing. Same with the parm chunks and croutons. Everything was high quality. He loved his salad as did I mine. You can ask for a complimentary focaccia piece, if they have any left. Was a nice addition to each salad. Portions were LARGE. Options range from classic salads/bowls to more unique, themed options. Super clean inside and on the line. read more

Good healthy food and quick. Salads were freshly made and tasty. Both the chicken and salmon proteins were flavorful

Got the power bowl with chicken added and it was absolute fire. The line moved quickly and I was in and out in a few minutes during my work lunch! read more

If Sweetgreens had a twin, it would be called SOMA. I ordered a custom build your own salad for pick up through the Yelp interface and it went smoothly. I know you all are thinking, this is not a big deal, but it is for me since I like to order in person. The efficiency is great and the SOMA customer service as also great. Salad was fresh and I chose two dressings and both were tasty tzatziki and green goddess ranch. Casual. Limited bar style seating. Please come and create your own experience. read more

Soma Salads - Build your own - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I love this place! It is a little busier than its competitors like sweet green, but I think that they still give a large portion and have a lot of options to choose from which makes it pretty comparable. The servers are all super friendly! There is some seating inside, but I think this place is best for takeout. read more

I literally LOVE Soma Salads - it's my favorite salad spot in the city. I used to order from here once a week on DoorDash until they added a $3.49 delivery fee well. But the salads are massive portions and so tasty. My favorites are the sesame crunch and perfect pear. Highly recommend this spot! read more

Soma Salads - Sesame Crunch - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

SoYum at SoMa. Giant bowls filled with all that healthy stuff. Make your own salad or choose from a menu of salads they offer. I have tried a few of them, and they were all filling and delicious. My most recent was the Salmon Superfood Salad, and it is probably my favorite. The salmon was fresh, flakey, and juicy. They offer a slice of bread with the salad, but I declined and then regretted it. There is an enormous number of selections to choose from to make the perfect salad you are craving. The staff is super nice, and they do not skimp. This is now my #1 choice for salad in the city. read more

gosh I loveeee these salads. They're a little pricey but they are PACKED to the brim. I can almost never finish one. Ingredients are always so fresh, dressings are deliciously and service is quick and friendly. They're on a couple of apps but I recommended ordering in-store for pick up because I noticed prices are marked up on 3rd party apps, which makes sense but I hate to pay more than I have to! My favorite is the greek salad- it's soo refreshing and flavorful. read more

Stand-out salad spot! I came on a weeknight and I got the Sesame Crunch with bread. The ingredients were super fresh, and I liked this salad in particular for the textures. BIG salads. Quick, friendly service - what a delight! Kristin, the owner, happened to serve us! Kristin let us try a Greek bowl she was working on, which was really cool I had plenty of delicious bites ! Soma is a wonderful spot in a busy area! Glad Soma is around here. I can't wait to try everything else on the menu. Plenty of counter seating. read more

Came here for a quick bite during a short lunch and I was not disappointed. Service was quick, people behind the counter were helpful explaining the flow of things and the food was great. It was slightly annoying how there's a "premium" section of sides all of which cost extra. But overall I enjoyed my meal and I did not have to walk far. The space was clean and warm (which was great bc it's cold outside for a FL person). Unfortunate I did not get a picture of my bowl as I was in a hurry but I would recommend this place for a quick convenient warm lunch. read more

If you're tired of overpriced salads that leave you hungry, Soma Salads is a game-changer. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, the portions are generous, and the flavors are on point.

Highly recommend if you're looking for a fresh and filling meal that actually delivers on flavor! read more

I am totally addicted to Soma. My favorite salad is the Perfect Pear salad. I must have 10 of these a week. After eating Soma's salad, SweetGreen does not compare. The ingredients Soma uses are always fresh. The flavors are rich and the aroma is addictive. The portions are generous and the staff is warm and welcoming. I also highly recommend the Turkey chili. My daughter is addicted to this. Soma is a special place that I love. read more

Soma Salads - SOMA sign - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

There was a time when I visited other chains of salad places in Manhattan. Over the years however various chains like Just Salad started shrinking their salads and taking away salad mixtures I enjoyed. I even tried going back to Just Salad recently to try out their latest salads and it just wasn't the same. After work one day I came across Soma Salads by chance. The restaurant is a modern looking establishment with mostly an off-white color scheme. There is bar style seating along the walls but really, this place is much more geared towards take out. Soma's menu is relatively simple: make your own salad or choose from their set of preset salads. Being a new customer, I decided to try the Sesame Crunch which consists of mixed greens, romaine, herb roasted chicken breast, avocado, shredded carrots, purple cabbage, mandarin oranges, sesame seeds, unsalted cashews, ramen noodle crunch with sesame ginger dressing. The salad is a really good size, much akin to the Just Salad bowls of the past. The ingredients are all nice and tasty and this salad has a beautiful blend of textures. To date it is my favorite salad but the "Fall Favorite" featuring Arugula, quinoa, roasted butternut squash, crumbled goat cheese, Granny Smith apples, craisins, toasted pecans, toasted pumpkin seeds and balsamic vinaigrette is in second place. The service here is great. Each time I've ordered in store, the folks making the salads have been great, though if you order anything with meat like their salmon keep an eye on which pieces they put in your salad. Now and then they'll pick a kind of tiny piece when there isa perfectly good (and larger) piece next to it. I have also ordered in advance via Grubhub and those times my salads were actually ready ahead of schedule! Soma Salad is fantastic and has definitely taken its place as my #1 salad place in midtown Manhattan. read more

Just ordered the sesame crunch salad from DoorDash. This salad is INSANELY good. Portion is absolutely massive (so massive that the bowl is actually heavy). The vegetables are super fresh tasting and the chicken is moist. I'm a huge sweetgreen girl but this blows sweetgreen out of the water for sure. Will 10000% be getting this again. 11/10. read more

Excellent. Expensive but excellent. What's Sweetgreen? Garbage in comparison to Soma. I made my own salad and DAMN was it good. Everything is made in-house and it's fantastic. Massive portion of tofu, excellent charred broccoli, and delicious portobellos. Their spicy Soma dressing is great too. Definitely has a kick. Friendly staff, lots of toss-in options. I'll be back for sure. read more

Soma Salads - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

Very solid place for salads. Honestly I'm not really big on Sweetgreen, Chopt, or Just Salads. I can feel and taste that Soma puts more quality ingredients in their salads - not to mention, bigger portions! Their ingredients feel really fresh and flavorful, whereas the other major salad chains order industrial sized produce that isn't as fresh or flavorful. Chain salad joints meet the bare minimum requirement of providing edible, but not truly fresh or delicious salads. Soma delivers on quality, taste, and freshness! They have a solid kale Caesar here, and I'm definitely returning to the area when I'm around for work. read more

The salads are packed with high-quality, fresh ingredients. The flavors and textures work in perfect harmony. Standouts include the Kale Caesar and the Thai Peanut. Service is friendly and efficient. Orders are fulfilled quickly, and the staff is knowledgeable about the menu. Ambiance is bright, airy, and modern. The space has a casual, inviting vibe. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. The salads are large enough to be a full meal. Top Choices: +Kale Caesar: Crisp kale, parmesan, house-made croutons, Caesar dressing +Thai Peanut: Mixed greens, grilled chicken, peanuts, carrots, bean sprouts, Thai peanut dressing Overall, Soma Salad provides a satisfying and healthy lunch option in NYC. The exceptional ingredients and execution make it worth a visit. read more

I was so excited to try Soma after passing by a few times and I'm so glad I did. It smelled soooo good inside, probably from all the fresh ingredients. Yes it's another bowl/salad place, but I thought it tasted really fresh and I liked the menu selection of salads. It came with a light piece of focaccia too. Really excited to come back and try other bowls. read more

Soma Salads - Fall Favorite Salad - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

This might be my new favorite salad place! I made my own salad with a base of shredded kale and lentils, shredded carrot, purple cabbage, pistachios, pickled onions, beets, black beans, toasted pecans, spicy broccoli (+$2), sweet potato (+$2), and portobello mushrooms (+$3), and sesame ginger dressing. It was so fresh, delicious, and filling! It wasn't cheap, but the portion size and quality definitely justified the price. This is a great midtown option when you want a high quality salad! read more

Soma Salads - Build Your Own Salad - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

What a find on a rainy night before the Knicks game. This is a make your own salad or choose one from the menu. You are asked along the way, if you want this and that as well as how much dressing you want. And, if you want a piece of the focaccia. I had the pesto salad which is huge! The warm moist chicken is generous as well as the avocados which cost a fortune these days. Quinoa, slivered almonds, chopped tomatoes, flakes of parmesan cheese and spinach leaves all tossed in their garlicky pesto dressing. I can't get over how much food is in this bowl. Unfortunately I can't take it into MSG because this is for more than one sitting. Hubby got the sesame salad which has the same chicken and avocados along with mixed greens, carrots, cashews, mandarin oranges and ramen noodles for extra crunch. The salad of course had sesame seeds. You gotta try this place because in my experience, it's hard to find a decent salad here in Midtown that has this quality of ingredients. And the chicken!! If you want to add chicken to any salad, it's only $2! Come on! read more

I ordered the sesame crunch salad via Grubhub and I was so impressed! Ingredients are fresh and tasty. The dressing was delicious, and they gave me two containers of dressing, which was great! Often times, there isn't enough dressing and it's hard to enjoy the rest of your salad. Definitely ordering this salad again. WAY WAY better than Sweetgreen. I'd rather pay more for delivery to get this. read more

So thankful that Soma is here located in the heart of the Garment Center .... This Salad place is one of the few healthy options to eat at in the area ... It's a family run business... They care about treating their customers and employees well ... The salads are great, and I feel good and energetic after eating here...Really I am thankful for this place helping giving New Yorkers a healthy meal option which most places do not . read more

So, after hearing from the owner that she wanted to make things right and me agreeing, I got silence. But THEN... my staff used Soma for a lunch order for a meeting. And it was even more of a mess than my experience. The food, when it arrived, was unmarked - imagine 10+ salads with no names on them, nor any way to differentiate one type from another. There was no bread included in the entire order, despite people having ordered bread; no utensils despite utensils being requested.... it was just a mess. Despite their being in our building and having tasty food, the level of service is beyond mediocre - unless we're desperate, no one in my office plans to patronize Soma again. read more

Quick service with absolutely delicious salads. If you're looking for a quick, healthy bite to go, this is the place for you!

Great salad spot with varied protein added salad options. Fast order line, friendly service

Great and fresh food, service staff was really upbeat and happy to help! Usually healthy salad options are really expensive, but I think I got a pretty fair sized portion of food for the price. read more

Soma Salads - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

I saw all the good reviews, so I decided to go during my lunch break. It was genuinely a big waste of my money the bowl was pretty awful and gave me a headache which never has happened to me before. Also, the cross contamination of food was crazy. They had food all over the counter, and mixed into other ingredients (ex. carrots in the onion container or mushrooms in the beets container) which honestly would suck for anyone who is allergic to something. Also, the servers were straight just throwing things in the bowl sloppily but I did go around peak lunch time. I was looking at other guests faces and it appears as they were noticing the same things i was. Idk maybe I just came at an off time for the place? read more

Consistently good service, fresh ingredients, delicious and filling. They have good premade options (which they are very nice about altering if you need). Just wish they always had bread lol. read more

Super close to the office and went off of a recommendation. Got the Kale Cesar with roasted chicken. Delicious salad! The size is larger than others and you won't be left hungry. Note to self, order medium dressing next time vs heavy. The staff were pleasant and it was hard to hear them over the music playing. read more

My boyfriend and I both got salads while running around NYC. It was a great, quick meal and the price-point was fair due to the salads being quite large. We both ate about half before becoming full and were able to save the rest for later. Staff is also very nice and polite! read more

Place was great. Folks were pleasant and helpful. Very clean and a ton of choices. The salads and fixings were all very fresh and well presented.
