While on a date with a lovely young lady yesterday, I decided to try sweetgreen since we both were craving a salad. While my expectations aren't generally high for salads, the Chicken Pesto Parm bowl was very good. The bowl comes with chopped white chicken, quinoa, baby spinach, tomatoes, garlic bread crumbs, and a side of both pesto and hot sauce. Everything was fresh, and I especially enjoyed the quinoa that was used as a base for the entire meal. Additionally, the Hibiscus tea that I got wasn't too watery or sugary, so it complimented the meal perfectly. Our service was nice and fast, with my date and I only waiting roughly five minutes for our orders to be ready due to one of the ingredients for her salad needing to be refilled. Both of the young ladies working the counter were courteous, and they ensured we knew the code for the nearby restroom. The only reason for a 4/5 stars is simply due to the lack of space to eat inside of the establishment. Those of us in Southern California are currently experiencing record-breaking heat, so it would have been nice to dine indoors, but there wasn't enough room for us both due to other patrons inside. Fortunately, it wasn't too hot outdoors by the time we started eating, but we would have preferred indoors. Nevertheless, sweetgreen is a great salad spot to check out for a lowkey first date, healthier eating, or simply for anyone looking to try something different. read more

This is literally one of the worst places I've had a salad in my entire life. I paid over $20 for their mediocre chicken avocado ranch salad, which was a pathetic excuse of meal I had to ask for extra chicken because the regular amount is laughable on how much they put on your plate and an extra scoop I think is between 4 to 5 dollars and it had to be I kid you not maybe an ounce and a half of extra chicken. It was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life and I only bought it because I was with a friend if I would've saw the portion size at the end, I would've walked out and told them I'm not paying for that. They were extremely greedy with the portion sizes. They asked if I wanted a "free" bread at the end when I was paying. There were three options in front of me so I picked the one bread that looked the best out of the three they honestly all look very crusty but I picked the best looking one and I said I'll take that one and the girl says oh no, not that one it has to be one of these two the one that I picked is an up charge just like everything else in that store.. extremely disappointing. I would never return ever in my life. If you want the world's smallest portion sizes with 90% lettuce and 5% toppings and another 5% of protein then this is your spot. And let me just mention I'm 115 pounds at 5'2 which says a lot on how tiny these portion sizes were if it were small for me with double chicken save yourself the money and disappointment. They make it look big by grabbing a big shallow bowl and filling it up with 90% lettuce. I was in disbelief to see the tiniest amount of toppings that they put and they spread out the toppings so that it looks like it's full. read more

I was having one of those days where I had everything timed out down to the minute and then ADHD + a cute dog + the app happened I was trying to grab food before heading to another important obligation and almost didn't even finish ordering because I kept getting distracted clicking through menu options. The app could definitely use a better search function because I spent way too long trying to find what I wanted. What stood out though was the manager. This manager was LOCKED IN!! Helping customers, delegating to staff, calling people over when they needed an extra hand, answering questions, keeping things moving, and somehow still managing to stay calm and kind the entire time. You can absolutely tell the difference between someone who's just doing their job and someone who's genuinely great at it. I was stressed, running behind, and trying not to drop the ball on something important, and everything was handled so efficiently that I could literally feel my anxiety coming down. The whole staff was great, but the manager was the GLUE. Food was mid (probably because they were getting ready to close, but also I'm just not really a salad person), but honestly that wasn't the part that mattered to me. What mattered was that my family got something decent to eat and was treated with kindness, patience, and understanding when it mattered most. read more

Stopped by sweetgreen today with my brother after a busy morning of running errands, and overall we had a really great experience! We placed a pickup order through DoorDash around 12:40 PM and everything was fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. We ordered two Chicken Jalapeño Ranch wraps (for myself and my mom), and my brother got the Steak Honey Crunch bowl with added egg and crispy noodles. Unfortunately, they forgot to add the crispy noodles to his bowl even though it was an extra charge, which is the only reason for the 4 stars -- but honestly, it didn't ruin the experience at all. The food was STILL amazing. Everything tasted very fresh, fulfilling, and portioned perfectly. I'm especially OBSESSED with the charred jalapeño ranch dressing sooo good! We also grabbed the peach oolong iced tea, which paired perfectly with the meal. I also wanted to shout out the customer service because it really stood out to us. The Black gentleman with glasses at the front was incredibly kind and polite, and the woman preparing my wrap worked quickly and efficiently without having us waiting long at all while finishing up my order. The inside and outside seating areas were also spacious and looked like a nice place to sit and enjoy lunch. Definitely a spot we'd come back to again! read more

Amazing salads/bowls that leave you feeling so good! I am obsessed with their Harvest bowl (unfortunately only during Fall season). It's similar to Chipotle but for salads/grains. Their blackened chicken is really good. I feel like all salads/healthy food ends up being pricey, but I really feel like sweet greens is worth it. Good and quick service. Lots of indoor and pretty outdoor seating. A great stop whether you're eating in or taking it to go! read more

After eating a huge bucket of buttery popcorn at the movies, I knew I needed something healthy to balance it out. I beelined for Sweetgreen! I totally wanted to try something else, but then I remembered how much I loved the Shroomami last time I was here. It was a total last-minute decision and I got it again! Overall, the same exact flavors as last time. The wide variety of texture and the comforting warm flavor of the mushrooms. The only thing I would do is next time I will order full dressing, not medium just because I need a little more to help me get over all the kale. I think the first time I had regular dressing and it was perfect. Next time should I have my favorite dish? Or try something new? Or order one of each? read more

I'm at the mall all the time, always trying different places to eat, and I had seen Sweetgreen so many times since it's right up front--but it never really caught my attention. I'm not exactly the most "fit" person, so I just never felt drawn to go in. But wow... what a surprise. I ended up having one of the best salads I've ever had there. And the service? Even better than expected. I know it's not a full-service restaurant--you order at the front like Chipotle or Subway--but the staff was genuinely attentive and friendly. Honestly, way better service than most places with that same setup. Since then, I've been going back pretty often. It's now one of my favorite spots to eat at the mall. Definitely recommend. read more

I recently downloaded the sweetgreen app and joined their rewards program. As an incentive, new rewards members would get 500 bonus points upon purchase of their first entree. But there was more, at least in my case. I registered around the New Year, and I was emailed a couple of other promotions: 1) Earn 200 bonus points when you order a salad, bowl, or protein plate 2) Earn 100 bonus points every time you order an item from The Function Menu So if I did my math right, if I were to get a salad, bowl, or protein plate from The Function Menu as my first order, I'd get 800 points plus however many points I'd earn from that purchase! How could I say no to that?! I was planning a trip to the South Bay on a Sunday, and there just so happened to be a sweetgreen location a little farther from where I was going, but was worth driving the few extra miles out of the way to try my first sweetgreen meal! This location in Torrance is in Del Amo Fashion Center on the east side of Hawthorne Blvd between Carson and Fashion. It's on the northwest corner of the mall between Philz Coffee and Frida Mexican Cuisine. When I came in, I made my way to the opposite end of the restaurant while perusing the overhead menu. I knew I wanted something from the Function menu, which was posted on the far side, and they only had three choices: Nutrient Power Plate, Spicy Reset Bowl, and Omega Salad. I didn't know if a Nutrient Power Plate was a protein plate or not, and when I asked an employee (Ananda?), she wasn't totally sure either! She sort of guessed that the Nutrient Power Plate would be considered a protein plate, but she also recommended the Spicy Reset Bowl as a good choice. Since the Spicy Reset Bowl is a bowl, I took her word for it. She recited the list of ingredients for the bowl as she was building it, but she also offered to sub out the wild rice for quinoa. I was wondering if that would have incurred an upcharge, but she said it wouldn't, and so I went with the quinoa. Since it was my first time at any sweetgreen, I appreciated Ananda's helpful service, going through each ingredient one by one in making sure I'd get what I like. To top it off, she asked if I'd like the two sauces, extra virgin olive oil and sweetgreen hot sauce, to be inside or on the side. Even though I was planning to eat there, I wanted the sauces on the side so that I could taste them individually before mixing them into my bowl. I did ask her about the hot sauce, and Ananda mentioned it was vinegar-based. Right before I paid, she also offered me a slice of their bread, which was complimentary with my bowl. However, I noticed one of the menu screens mentioning that brand new rewards members could get $5 off a $10+ purchase, which I did not see when I signed up late last year. I asked Ananda about that, and she asked a co-worker, Savannah, who mentioned that the $5 should automatically come off if it were my first order. Well, unfortunately, that was not the case. After I scanned my QR code at the register, the $5 didn't come off even though the Spicy Reset Bowl was way more than $10. Ananda believed that the $5 off would apply on my next visit, but I had to email customer support to get that loaded on my account. Even though I didn't mention "for here" or "to go", Ananda still packed my order as if it were a "to go" order, securing the bowl with a lid on top and placing the bowl inside a sweetgreen paper bag. I also asked for a water cup to go with my bowl. For the most part, I enjoyed the Spicy Reset Bowl, with each ingredient tasting so fresh and healthy that I felt pretty good about what I was eating. However, it was pretty kale heavy that without the two sauces, it would have been pretty dull to eat. After adding both sauces in, I felt like the bowl could have used a third cup of sauce, which I learned on my next visit I could have asked for. On my second visit, also on a Sunday, there were two different employees, and when I asked them about the Function Menu, they didn't know what I meant, and when I tried to clarify, they thought I was talking about ordering online?! They had replaced that screen on their overhead menu with wraps, so I had to show them on my phone. After some back and forth, I chose the Omega Salad, which had salmon in it, and I asked for three cups of the cilantro lime dressing. The leafy greens in the salad were also quite dry too, but not as bad as the kale from the Spicy Reset Bowl, which appeared pretty shriveled. The salmon tasted pretty good, especially with that cilantro lime dressing. That third sauce cup really helps a lot, so be sure to ask for a third if you can! If you wanted a 4th, I'm sure you'd get charged for it. The employees working on my second visit weren't as helpful as Ananda, who I believe was also working that day. Nevertheless, I have been quite pleased with my two visits to this sweetgreen, but now that the Long Beach location has opened, it's hard to say if I'll return to this location. read more

Tyler was incredibly helpful today and made our wraps with care which was really appreciated.

This location is solid! Not a long wait time during lunch time which is always appreciated. I like that they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You can take your food to go if you're in a rush. A bit pricey, especially for the servings, but the bowl varieties are a bit more than at Chipotle. Still not sure I would choose this over Chipotle as frequently, at least for lunch. read more

IF YOU DO NOT LIKE IT, THATS YOUR OWN FAULT. Another cafeteria style, build your own bowl place competing with cava, chipotle, and others. This place has a healthier variety of greens if you plan it out right. Average price is 14-19 per bowl but can get pricey if you get steak and extras. They have preset menu items, but for the most part, you build the bowl. If you don't like it, you made it. Ask for another topping. They were out of steak and grilled chicken on my visit, but i was satisfied with the size of the bowl and not feeling like crud after my meal. read more

Let every man judge for himself: which is the wiser expenditure of around fifteen dollars--a meal accompanied by a deadly soda and a ridiculous sandwich that barely beholds a vegetable, or a bowl filled with fresh greens, hand-cut apple, and antibiotic-free grass-fed steak? Where are the mockers who despise healthy choices, and the haughty eyes that disdain real ingredients? Shall they not be utterly put to shame, being self-condemned, because they lack understanding that sweetgreen is the rare one, envied for its more-than-decent fast-casual fare? But since when, sweetgreen Del Amo, have you become lukewarm in your service? With thousands of points upon my account and holding Goat Status, am I coveting merely a larger portion of protein in the salad bowl, or seven different dressings mingled upon a single plate? Is this not what I seek: hospitality no longer disappearing from your countenances? Those who lust after salt will cleave unto Chipotle, and those who crave Mediterranean salt will embrace Cava. But having been persuaded that you are freshness uncompromised, where then shall I go? For I, having only recently tasted the dew of life, desire not to pass away at an arguably young age. Have you not demonstrated what is moral in this postmodern dispensation, where some proclaim with bold conviction that craftsmanship in the restaurant industry is of no worth, and that consumerism of our age, cold-blooded and without mercy, shall reign without end? sweetgreen Del Amo--with much sorrow I beseech you--that I may not come in lament every time I visit; that my boasting concerning you be not vain, nor bring tears to the eyes of a mature man--even myself. See, I come to you quickly; I will delay no longer, nor tarry. If it be too insignificant a thing that I should eat at one of your tables when I visit or pass through the neighborhood, then from now on, and indeed already, I shall also invest marvelously in the four new wraps, of which your CEO appears altogether proud. Then shall you know that I bear unceasing love toward you, with affections too deep for expression yet too profound to remain hidden within my inner being, though I am nobody, and though English is not even my mother tongue. Will you not know it? In those days, when you have refreshed your spirit and rekindled your zeal, nobles shall become your regulars, and the spoiled kids shall defect from their junk diet. Myriads shall come to you from near and far, from places known to you and from places unknown--from Torrance, from Lomita, from Palos Verdes, from Carson, from Gardena, from Lawndale, from Hawthorne, from Compton, from Inglewood, and from the Beach Cities; indeed, from all the South Bay. Not only these, but also from the neighborhoods around LAX, from the Westside, from the San Fernando Valley, and from Downtown Los Angeles; yes, even from Orange County and from the Inland Empire shall they come, filling the room until there remains scarcely enough space to contain a little baby. And in those days they shall lavish their money upon this particular location, because it is fabulously good. All who do not yet recognize sweetgreen Del Amo shall be counted rude, but you shall receive honor and praise and revenue. Those days shall be days of rejoicing, when you declare to the world that you are sweetgreen--not only sweet, but green; and not only green, but sweet. And the Del Amo wherein you are located shall no longer be called Del Amo, but Del Amor--"of love" in Spanish--for you shall prove to be a kind and loving people. read more

The Sweetgreen at the mall is usually a reliable spot for fresh, healthy eats, but this Friday night visit was rough. They were severely short-staffed, with only 2 or 3 employees total and just two handling the front line. The line moved painfully slow, even though the place wasn't packed with customers; it felt endless for what should have been a quick grab. The Thai chicken wrap was tasty, fresh ingredients as expected, good flavors. But $18.50 all said and done for a single wrap with no add-ons. That's steep, especially when you're already paying a premium for the "healthy" label. The ambience is clean and modern, nice seating, but it was so quiet and sparsely filled that it felt more like a library than a casual dinner spot. Overall, solid food quality, but the execution falls well on short on value and efficiency for the price point; it's a modern example of premium branding not matching the delivery. Pass unless that's your vibe. read more

Sweetgreens have been popping up everywhere, but this was my first time going to one. This location is at Del Amo Mall, but you have to exit the mall in order to enter (it's just right outside, so not too far of a walk). You walk along their counter to order and customize your bowl/plate. They'll have it ready for you and the end of the counter where you pay. I got the Miso Glazed Salmon, which is one of their Protein Plates. It comes with avocado, cucumber, pickled onions, crispy onions, white rice, and nori sesame seasoning. The salmon was cooked pretty well, a little crispy on the outside and not too dry on the inside. I was disappointed with the avocado though, it was hard and not ripe at all. This plate normally comes with a spicy cashew dressing, but I got it with their Pesto Vinaigrette which I thought went better with this dish! I also tried some of the Chicken Avocado Ranch Bowl that comes with blackened chicken, avocado, pickled onions, apples, tortilla chips, white rice, chopped romaine, and green goddess ranch. I thought this bowl was pretty good overall! I enjoyed their green goddess dressing too. Tried their Ripple Fries with Garlic Aioli, but they were hard and kind of rubbery. A couple of the fries had a more potato-y texture, but they were inconsistent. I don't think I would get these again. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The tables weren't wiped down and had food bits/dressing on it, so we had to clean it before sitting down. Employees behind the counter were friendly though! read more

It's been a while since we last ate at a Sweetgreen. This is located on the outside of the mall - Nordstrom side. They have outdoor and indoor seating. The outdoor patio is really pleasant and attracts a nice breeze. It almost feels like you're on a mini 30-min vacation. We ordered to share: KBBQ bowl It's really flavorful. We asked for the dressing on the side and glad we did. It did not need the dressing since each component is seasoned. Our only complaint is that the broccoli was too salty. I think the lettuce could've been chopped slightly smaller. Green goddess ranch chips These were unexpectedly really salty. We dipped them in the dressing. Much better! Green tea So refreshing and paired well with the salad. Olipop Vintage Cola They don't have fountain drinks and I was craving a cola. Ah! That hit the spot! Enjoy! read more

The servers are hit or miss, some very cold and anti social some are more friendly. I get 7-20 meals a month from this location, The Harvest Bowl is undisputed #1. It's consistently their most popular item -- roasted chicken, sweet potatoes, apples, goat cheese, almonds, and balsamic vinaigrette over wild rice and kale, around $15 Here are my top picks overall: I usually do Harvest Bowl -- The classic. The warm sweet potatoes and cold apples create a contrast that works the balsamic vinaigrette ties everything together. Or the Chicken Pesto Parm -- Roasted chicken, broccoli, baby spinach, tomatoes, parmesan, herbed quinoa, and pesto vinaigrette -- about 540 calories and 39g of protein. If you are in mood for a salad Green Goddess Ranch Bowl -- Fully plant-based and one of the most popular items on the menu, made with organic kale, spinach, roasted sweet potatoes, cabbage, spicy broccoli, almonds, chickpeas, and carrots. tip Order through the Sweetgreen app for a faster pick up than in store. read more

Lowering my rating :( Sweetgreen has definitely gone down in quality. I hesitated to write this review but after giving sweetgreen chance after chance, I can't say I will be back! In the past five visits or so since Ive tried SG for the first time, there has been a consistent downgrade in both quality & portions. There has been wilted lettuce, a bug in my food, & the portions have gotten way smaller. They've also gotten rid of the green olives & changed their shredded carrots to large clunky pieces. Their bread was also hard as rock, I didn't even eat it. They also forgot my shredded cabbage which I paid extra for during this visit. I don't think I'll be going back which makes me sad because I love their miso dressing. I just think it's not worth it anymore! read more

I've been on a little bit of a sweetgreen kick lately and been to several locations. The DTLA ones always have undercooked rice, so I've been just getting salads even though I really enjoy the wild rice. I also always do take out so it was a different experience eating in person at this location. This location is connected to the Del Amo mall and plenty of parking outside. There's also seating inside and outside. When I came on Sunday night, it was pretty empty and I got my order very smoothly. I always order the build your own bowl and include blackened chicken, mushrooms and some veggies. The person that took my order was super nice and gave me a pretty good portion. As a plus, I took a chance and ordered the rice and it was cooked perfectly. Easily one of the best experiences I had at a sweetgreen. I also saw the same person who served me (wish I got this name) be super patient with a customer who asked tons of questions. I will definitely come back here again when the craving hit and I'm in the area. read more

This is the worst location I've ever been to. Standards do not exist here, passion has left the chat. They don't leave the pick up order on the correct shelf. Consistent portions and consistent cook of the components have been a record shock even for me. They need corporate to come out and do something or just replace everyone with the salad machine in HB. Then keep everyone working on prep, restock, cleaning, and customer service. They can't be making money at this location, it's hard to believe read more

I held off going to sweet green for a long time just because I'm not a mall rat, but someone gave me a giftcard and I am sort of embarrassed to say I went three times in a row, it's that good. They have lots of healthy options that also taste great. My favorite is the build your own, but you have to watch your toppings or it can get crazy expensive! My friend managed to get a $32 salad!! I like their tofu, their pesto dressing, the almond topping, and the sweet potatoes that are roasted and sliced thin. Oh, and salads come with bread but they may not give it to you if you don't ask!! Service is friendly and the times I've been there, there has been seating. It's a winner! read more

Well. i ordered the Iron Bowl which was very enticing looking- grass fed garlic steak , golden quinoa, arugula with a lime dressing (I think). Funny it's no longer listed on the menu. My total order with delivery and tip came to about $28. Expecting to enjoy a great salad, I was severely disappointed and just threw it away. I didn't receive what was described. Instead of a potentially delicious lunch, I received a bowl of arugula, quinoa and chopped red cabbage. No steak, no dressing, not even utensils. Came with sad slice of bread. Quinoa has approx 3 mg of iron per 1 cup, arugula has about .8 mg per 3.5 oz serving and red cabbage has .56- .8 per 100 grams. I mean... I wanted iron from the steak. But, down to the most basic want, I wanted to have something to eat for lunch. I mean, not even dressing? I was expected to scoop with my hands and choke down a drrrrryyy bowl of three ingredients. Oh well. Such is the current state of service and I really shouldn't be so surprised. This reminded me to check my expectations . My suggestion is to just cancel the order- don't send it out. read more

Before Sweetgreen came to Del Amo we use to always go to the one in Santa Monica Sweetgreen. We love it because my family tends to eat very clean. I've been to this location a handful of times and the employees and service was always really good. However, when I went tonight I saw a homeless person who was very dirty walk in and sit down. Didn't order any food nothing. Just sit there on his mobile phone. I get that it's scary for employees to get involved in anything or ask people to leave but come on, call security. In Santa Monica where homeless population is higher than the South Bay has no homeless people in their store. A dinner for two with drinks is typically over forty dollars here and I can't eat in here peaceful in fear of something happening. Please control the people who come in to your resturant. read more

Came here on a Saturday two weeks ago. It wasn't too busy around noon. Got the Harvest Bowl which is one of their most popular dishes. It's good and the kale is very fresh. The kale could use some scrunching/squeezing though to soften it up more. Personally, I would prefer more protein added into my salad. It also came with a piece of complimentary sourdough bread. It was pretty tough and dry (is that normal?). For the dressing they will ask if you want a little, normal, or a lot. I got a normal amount which was ok. The dressing tastes good. You can also ask for more dressing on the side in a container. When they prepare the salad, they also ask to make sure you're ok with adding everything on the original menu. It's nice of them to ask to double check. The inside is very spacious with a few seats available and self-serve water. There are more outdoor seating which has some sunny spots and some shady areas too. I loved eating outdoors. It was very relaxing. It was an overall decent experience. I would consider coming back here if I'm in the area again. read more

My wife and I enjoy going to Sweetgreens. We've gone to many Sweetgreen locations in different cities for years and always enjoyed the food. Their salads are bit expensive, but you get good clean food with lots of Romaine, Kale, with seasoned chicken mixed with different ingredients such as rice, sweet potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes and all their dressings are great from caesars to vinaigrette. The Torrance Del Amo \ South Bay Sweetgreens is closest to my house and has seats with AC power plugs. This free power is an open invitation for homeless people to just walk in and sit next to the forks and napkins to help themselves to the power and water. I saw this homeless guy walk in with uncombed hair, his feet were totally black and his back had grass and dirt when he walked in. He sat on the first table next to the napkins and forks and plugged in a cell phone. I just got my salad and sat at the opposite end of the restaurant. But damn, his socks or underwear stunk like hell. And I could smell it 25 feet away. Imagine this odor - Rotten milk spoiled in the plastic jug with floating bits of green mold floating in a yogurt thick bacterial spoilage. Then put that under your nose and unscrew the cap, while the sewage odor hits you - imagine taking a swig of that filth glob right into your mouth and vomit immediately after it touches your tongue. Just the thought is enough to make me gag. That's what this guy smelled like - across the restaurant no less. As much as I would have liked to have enjoyed my Chicken Avocado Ranch salad. I got nauseated from his smell and started to dry heave. I got up and took my lunch outside, but that smell didn't go away from my mind and I had to toss the salad after four or five bites. It was a good salad, but that stink took the hunger out of me. The Sweetgreens employees need to call Del Amo Mall security and get any homeless people that are not buying salads out of the restaurant - sanitize the hell out of the seat that guy was in, and\or turn off the power to those seats. Nobody is hanging out with their laptops or phones to charge them, just the homeless. When I got up, the girl that made my salad knew he stunk and wouldn't even give me eye contact. She had to have smelled it too. And she did nothing. I'm not sure if I can go back for a long time after that experience. The Sweetgreens loyalty rewards membership is good - and you can get discounts or free bread, but the Del Amo store needs to learn how to get people that are NOT customers out of the store - especially when they stink to high hell. I really had to fight nausea from that guys smell. If you go to the restaurant, dont sit on the seat closest to the napkins (across from the register), thats where this guy was. Gross. read more

Customer service was non-existent. I could not believe what I was experiencing as a first time customer. I walked in, wasn't greeted, and stood at the counter awkwardly with no other customers there, for at least a few minutes. I took that time to look over the menu even though I had already decided what I wanted. I finally looked over at the four people crowded around the register/end of line area and one guy noticed me and signaled for the girl that was prepping in the back area to turn around and help me. She turned around and proceeded to give me the worst customer service I have ever experienced. It felt like I was ruining her day, making her scoop rice and mushrooms into a bowl. So. So. Wild. Good new is, my salad was super delicious, which was nice. read more

I found a hair on my food, made me puke. I reported it, and they never refunded me. They asked for a picture. Should I send them a picture of my puke? Nonsense. read more

Sweetgreen is located in Del Amo Mall. The outside parking lot is often super crowded and hard to find parking, but it's nice that there are designated temporary parking spots for pick-up at Sweetgreen which is convenient. My friend and I both got the Chicken Avocado ranch bowl on Wednesday for lunch. It comes with blackened chicken, avocado, pickled onions, apples, tortilla chips, white rice, chopped romaine, and the best part, the green goddess ranch dressing. It was a pretty good portion and filling! It came with a piece of bread on the side. The bread was super dry and bland per usual, but after dipping it in the dressing, it tasted better. I wish the bread that they gave was either toasted, or more moist. I recommend mobile ordering through the app. It's super convenient and you're able to customize your bowls / salads. The app doesn't let you order an extra dressing, but it lets you choose 3 different types of dressing. 1 container of dressing is not enough for the salad so I usually pick 2 other types of dressing to try different ones. I got the miso sesame dressing and the cashew dressing on the side. Both were so delicious! They had a kick to it which I loved. read more

I've been here a few times now, and I really enjoy the KBBQ salad plate. The flavors are really good! I also ordered lunch for my son's teachers for an end of the year treat, and they loved it. I truly think that the key to having a good experience is to be there when Paul is there because he does a great job of helping customers. He has remembered me each time I've gone in to the restaurant, which I think is important to notice repeat customers and build that restaurant/client relationship. I have gone in the afternoons, and I do agree that food items seem to depleted in the evening and the workers seem a bit exhausted. Overall though, I think it's a great choice to sit and eat a tasty, favorable quick bite. read more
