The Good Salad - Salad Near Me - Los Altos, California

Good food at good prices. We ordered the Blazin' Chicken Salad, and despite the name, it wasn't spicy at all. The produce was fresh and well‑seasoned, and while they provide a glaze that tastes good, we didn't find it necessary for the salad. The crispy onion strips were a nice touch and added a satisfying crunch. You can order online or at the counter. The restaurant sits inside a large food hall, which also has a full bar where you can grab a drink and sit indoors or outside while enjoying your meal. read more

The Good Salad - Blazing Bird - Salad Near Me - Los Altos, California

I want to apologize to the guy with the goatee and mustache--I asked him to toss my salad and remove *some* of the cranberries, because there was a huge handful ...and he clearly wasn't very happy about it. He insisted on making a whole new salad, but I said "no don't do that." ...Not sure if he was just having a bad day, but the interaction felt a bit ...unfriendly. Anyway, four stars for the salad... read more

This place is located inside the State Street Market food hall. We were looking for some GOOD salads on a rainy November day so decided to give it a try, and my tastebuds left nicely tingled with chickeny and ranchy goodness! We ordered the Blazing Bird salad, which comes with chicken, pico de gallo, avocado, black beans, and corn. One bite in and I immediately noticed how chilled all the ingredients were, like they had just been taken out of the fridge -- even the grilled chicken! I typically prefer the protein in salads to be warm. But I can see this as a very refreshing salad on a hot day. The chicken had a tantalizing grilled char flavor, and all the other ingredients tasted very fresh including the romaine lettuce. I feel like it was missing some cheese, however. And why does the ranch come in a plastic wrapper? The food came out fast in just a few minutes, and I like the rustic aesthetic of the bowl it's served in. Seating is cafeteria style since it's in a food hall. Overall, what a fresh-tasting salad! Would come back to try the other options. read more

You'll find The Good Salad in the State Street Market food hall! I love this location because it brings a sense of community and fun! There are lots of options to choose from for everyone. They even have special events throughout the week. We came on trivia night! I ordered the samurai steak salad! The service staff are very friendly. You get a hefty bowl filled with vibrant and fresh salad fixings, and a generous amount of dressing! For me, the steak was seasoned with a little too much pepper and was a little on the tough/dry side. read more

The Good Salad - Samurai Steak Salad - Salad Near Me - Los Altos, California

This is my go-to door dash place when I'm at work near by in Palo Alto. Their salads are consistently fresh and filling. I especially like Samurai Steak salad but sub with chicken. It has a good amount of toppings, various textures, and the dressing/sauce is delicious. But today I tried the build your own salad and I was not disappointed! You can add 1 protein and 4 toppings (including avocado) all for ~$17. The salads are a good size when you order to-go, but I feel like they give you more when you order it to eat there in their big reusable wooden bowls. I also really like to order their homemade lentil soup and bone broth, plus their focaccia bread is a must-order for all meals when I eat here! This location is actually inside "State Street Market" which is a food hall in downtown Los Altos that also has a Penny's Ice Cream that is perfect for dessert after your salad (it's all about balance!). The market has a big free parking lot in the back so it's easy to find a parking spot to stay and relax inside the food hall. read more

Came back again for take out salad. Located in the downtown Los Altos food hall- convenient location, with several shared tables indoors for the various vendors. Parking is easy with several lots nearby and street parking. Staff were friendly and efficient. Price is reasonable for the area Los Altos/ Palo Alto. read more

Good Salad was...good! Located at the food court in State Street Market in Los Altos, I ordered the Steak Supreme. Considering I had just worked out right beforehand, the salad was the perfect post-workout meal I needed. The greens, meat, and assortment of add-ons and flavors definitely hit all the macronutrients I needed for the day. The overall service and ambiance of Good Salad is difficult to describe considering it's in a mid-sized food hall, but it's good to come with friends and family since it's a relatively loud and lively atmosphere. I remember the workers looked around high school aged, really diligent with the service. I've personally had similar quality salad for a cheaper price than the $15 I paid for the Steak Supreme, so I don't have a strong reason to give this place 5 stars. Nonetheless, it's a decent place to try if you're near the Los Altos downtown area. read more

The Good Salad - Salad Near Me - Los Altos, California

2nd time trying this place since its close to my dentistry. I created my own salad this time and it turned out pretty good, and filling! I got arugula, grape vinaigrette, chickpeas, quinoa, feta cheese, medjool dates, toasted almonds, and green onions, with their signature good glaze. I ate the whole bowl. I was wanting something with strawberry but I also understand most places only have that fruit for summer salads. Either way, I had a pleasant experience in a cool dining hall overall. The gentlemen behind the counter were pleasantly helpful and glad to answer any of my questions. Since I went on a Friday afternoon, parking was easy and inside was also nice and quiet. Some people working on their laptops and others quietly chatting in small groups. read more

Let me first say that I really love the freshness of their salads, their consistency in EXCELLENT customer service, and the fact that you pay what you get for-literally (the price adjusts for what you REMOVE or ADD, a rarity). I appreciate that if you order for dine in they serve their salads in a nice wooden bowl (don't throw it away!). They are located in the food court back right corner of State Street Market if you are entering from the main entrance. The staff here by the way, is superb. Our orders are always consistent in quality and timing. They are always super friendly and accommodating. I loved their Blazing Bird, incredible GOOD salad. I loved it (past tense) because in September they changed their seasoning for chicken breast. :( Not sure for their reasoning, but they used to default to cajun chicken breast but now they use cajun chicken thigh. They do have a breast option but only with herby chicken breast. Not a fan of it considering they had us used to this for 2 years (I think) and then switched it up on us. Alas yes based on Yelp standards, they are GOOD, but could be GREAT had they not switched it up-in my humble opinion. read more

Delicious salads!! Tastes fresh and portions are large. I especially appreciate that they deduct the cost of toppings that you don't want in their premade salads I'll have to join their rewards program since I anticipate that I'll be going often now :') read more

Arrived at the los altos Good salad this afternoon, it was extremely busy, the girl working at the front was so positive and hard working. Both of the workers were getting overloaded with orders. They pushed through and we all watched their efforts. Very happy with my salad, it was my first time here and they still made my experience pleasant and quick. read more

Consistently excellent salads with quality ingredients and great portion sizes. I've had The Good Salad many times and it's been extremely consistent every visit. The lettuce is always fresh, avocados are quality, and the meat is always well cooked and tender. The portion size is perfect, very filling and large but not terribly high in calories since everything is fresh and healthy. Really like their dressings too. My favorites are the Blazing Bird and the Samurai Steak, though the Cali Caesar is pretty solid as well. The Blazing Bird has great variety with crunchy bits, beans, and good pico de gallo that all work together. The Samurai Steak is different with sesame seeds, steak, and different sesame dressings that are all delicious. Not cheap but worth it for the quality and consistency. read more

Friendly service, pretty generous portion, plentiful toppings--overall, a good salad. I built my own salad, though the blazing bird signature salad did sound fire and was $1 less than customizing your own. They don't have kale as a base option unfortunately, but do offer arugula, spring mix, and romaine lettuce. I got the spring mix with Cajun chicken. They had a good variety of toppings; I got edamame, beets, radish, bean and corn pico, and pickled onions and they made for a great, filling meal. I also got the chipotle ranch dressing and thought it was fine and had a strong chipotle flavor. We were content with our quick and fresh salads (: read more

Wow! My team ordered from them for lunch, and the salad was incredibly fresh.

4 for 4! Just "hit for the cycle" at The Good Salad: I've eaten at all 4 locations. These are delicious salads. I've advanced to the "create your own salad" option and I love trying new combinations of ingredients. I really enjoy combining sweet flavors like candied pecans with sour flavors like pickled onions in my salads. Id say the pesto ceezer is my favorite dressing. The dressings are so rich that I recommend using less than the full packet, including just a touch of their "good glaze." My only suggestion is that they use sliced avocados without any lemon juice instead of their fresh mash as the lemon juice changes the flavor. Service is always exceptionally friendly. The owner must make it a nice play to work. read more

It's not bad. But I do believe that everyone can literally find a better salad with better proportions with a similar price point elsewhere. Example/ I got the Blazing Bird Salad ($16.50~) which tasted okay. The salad was too chilled, even the chicken bits were cold and I didn't like that. It is very similar to the Cancun salad served at Crepevine but the Cancun salad comes with way bigger portions, put on top of a spinach tortilla that you can use to eat some of your salad like a wrap, and comes with hot grilled chicken. As for the drink, it also wasn't bad but it didn't blow my mind. And It was over $7 for a small cup of yuzu iced tea that was already prepped and laid out in the fridge section to grab. I'd rather they serve the tea with a cooler instead. Also, extra dressing is $2 each. What? Don't be fooled. Just grab a salad elsewhere for your wallet and your hunger. read more

Solid little minimalist takeout spot! We were on the way to Stanford mall and wanted to grab something to eat, and so coincidentally came across this spot on Yelp at the right time. We got the southwest-y salad with chicken & a cup of the bone broth, both were delicious, and survived the drive from there to the mall ;) a nice fresh crisp and tasty salad, big enough to feed two! I really want to try the focaccia. It must be great because the nice peppy gal behind the counter said somebody has just come in and bought them out! Maybe next time. read more

Incredibly fresh, healthy, and delicious! I'm usually skeptical of salad spots like this, thinking they'll be overpriced like Sweetgreen, but this place really impressed me. The ingredients were super fresh and thoughtfully combined. I ordered the Date Delight and loved how well everything worked together--the dates were especially perfect since I'm in my third trimester of pregnancy. I also had a bone broth soup that felt so nourishing, and I appreciated that they waited to serve it until I arrived so it was piping hot. As a first-time visitor, I also reached out to their marketing team and was gifted some adorable branded swag--a cute Good Salad hat! Such a thoughtful touch that made the experience even sweeter :) read more

I really wanted this place to live up to its name -- and its excellent Yelp rating. Ordered the Ruby Roots and the Mediterranean Medley, hoping for something vibrant and fresh, but both landed closer to a prepackaged Costco salad kit than a made-to-order bowl. :/ I'm a big salad person, so I really wanted to love it. Maybe these particular items just didn't land and others are better. The ingredients were fresh, but the flavors didn't pop. On the bright side, the staff were great: friendly, patient, and happy to let me sample a few dressings, which earned an extra star. Healthy? Yes. Exciting? Not yet. read more

The service was quick and friendly. We ordered from the screen and the food was delivered to our table which I didn't expect. The Samurai Steak salad is a must! Also ordered the seasonal/limited time Wild Watermelon salad which was soooo good. We didn't realize that the shop was inside the State Street Food Hall so we walked around the building before going inside. There's plenty of tables inside and out of the hall and about 7 other places to try. But my go to will always be The Good Salad! Super excited for their next location in Campbell! read more

The Good Salad?? More like should change the name to "The Best Forkin' Salad You've Ever Had" .. but it didn't fit on their sign haha Located in @statestreetmarket which is a cute food hall we stopped by for a healthy brunch to start our day! When you think healthy, you might think bland, but here at The Good Salad that is definitely not the case. They source high quality ingredients and prepare everything in house and you get to choose and customize your salad exactly how you like it! Our server was so nice to us We were able to try their new brunch items: homemade Focaccia Smoked Egg Sandwich and their karak chai, and you don't want to miss out on these items! The bread was toasted perfectly and paired so well with the eggs and chili. Their chai was such a great add for something warm with our brunch. We also got to try their Streak Supreme Salad which was hands down the best salad we've ever had. It comes with house buttermilk ranch dressing which paired great with The Food Glaze. Tri tip steak, chopped Romain lettuce, smoked bacon pieces, crumbled blue cheese (we usually don't even like blue cheese but worked so well here), house picked red onion, sweet dry cranberries, and sliced scallion. Everything comes unmixed in the box and we can clearly see how fresh each item was. - -- -- - Karak Chai (new brunch item!) Focaccia Smoked Egg Sandwich (new brunch item!)

I was in Los Altos with my friends, and we stopped by State Street Market for lunch. I decided to try the Samurai Steak Salad from The Good Salad, and it did not disappoint. It featured Certified Angus Beef Steak topped with Dynamite Mayo and Roasted Sesame Seeds, served over a mix of Organic Spring Greens, Chopped Romaine, Diced Persian Cucumber, Shredded Carrots, Roasted Peanuts, Sliced Scallions, and Edamame. The salad was finished with The Good Glaze and a House Sweet Sesame Dressing on the side. Every bite was incredible--the dressing perfectly complemented the fresh, flavorful ingredients. Hands down, one of the best salads I've ever had. I'll definitely be back! The Good Salad inside State St. Market, Los Altos, CA. read more

Surprise find. Wonderful selection and unlike many salad places they are actually generous with their ingredients. I plan to go back

Oh my gosh! I love these salads! I've tried the steak supreme and it was delicious! Our go to salad is the Blazing Chicken. It's amazing!! everything is fresh and delicious. Big chunks of lovely chicken ( which I usually don't love) This chicken tastes wonderful! The best part is all of the wonderful veggies and oh my gosh, the crispy onion bits...I could get a box of crispy onion bits and be thrilled! I'd be happy to have them on anything! The dressings are perfection. I like it as is so ordering is easy and pickup smooth. I'm very curious about the other restaurants in this space. So far, it's all been about the salads. Fresh and healthy. Highly recommend. read more

I gotta give it to their customer service, excellent customer service. Someone had reached out to me when I wasn't too happy with the salad I had originally ordered and I got to try another salad. This time, I got the pre made salad, the steak supreme without cranberries and with a side of olive oil and vinegar. The salad was packed to the brim this time, and the steak was a nice, dark color. Even though the meats are not heated up before putting in the salads here, the steak was very flavorful. The pickled onions was a nice contrast to the steak and lettuce, and the blue cheese and scallions packed a nice punch. This was a delicious and super filling salad and I'm glad I got to try them out again! read more

Juan, this review goes out to you. I've been sick this past week or two. Definitely was not feeling great and was not at my best mentally or physically when I came in really late tonight looking for a Mediterranean Salad, but you showed me kindness that merits more than just a review. Your service and innate skill for observation and awareness went a long way, especially for me. I'm not from the area, but do frequent the cafeteria style food hall at Street Market. I've visited The Good Salad a handful of times. The place is well kept and clean. The salads are crisp and definitely hits the spot. However, I've never had an encounter with a staff that made me stop to write a review. But Juan, you were the MVP of the evening. With service like yours, in a world where empathy is often lost, I have hopes that you'll go far. I hope management sees you as the talented asset that you are and provides you with opportunities for advancement and growth. You 100% deserve it. read more

Paid extra for heavy greens multiple times this week and given less than the normal standard amount of greens. This is all toppings with less than 15 leaves and plenty of empty vertical space. even if you pay extra for larger portion, they just consistently this week give you smaller than the normal sized portion UPdATE (response to the restaurant's comment): This review is specifically about orders from the past week. I paid extra for heavy greens multiple times and consistently received portions smaller than the standard amount, with visible empty space. For context, I haven't raised any issues since late summer 2025, when problems were handled well. This review reflects a recent, repeated issue in January 2026. The restaurant's response focused on questioning why multiple 1-star reviews were left rather than acknowledging the repeated portion issue or offering a resolution. When the same issue occurs multiple times in a short period, even after it's first flagged, it's reasonable to reflect each experience accurately. read more

10/4/2023 The Good Salad 170 State St Unit 121 Los Altos, CA 94022 I just wanted a salad for lunch and Yelp search led me here so I dragged Wifey along to the Los Altos State Street Market food court where it is located. City parking is adjacent and can be close to full during high times. State Street Market has a central cafeteria style dining area with the food vendor booths at the perimeter. At The Good Salad I ordered and paid at the counter with pick up at the station on the end of the counter. There is a tap water dispenser there also. They don't have any system to notify when your order is ready so you have to go to the pick up station to check. I had the Samurai Steak, which had cubed Tri Tip, the veggies and sesame dressing and balsamic glaze on the side. The veggie quantity was nicely varied and ample. The beef was a little chewy and would be better it sliced thinly against the grain. The dressings were okay but not memorable flavor wise. This place only takes plastic for payment, I prefer cash. My salad was okay but a good value so it's a repeat for me. read more

Finally had the opportunity to check it out & my usual go-to are caesar salads so I got their Cali Ceezer with everything. Came here for dinner on a Fri night & the line wasn't long at all so I got the order pretty quick. I was surprised to see how generous their portions were. I probably could've eaten the entire bowl to myself but I split it with my mom since we were splitting a chicken sandwich from next door at Konjoe. The dressing really ties it all in & the balsamic glaze was my favorite ingredient. Although I like avocado, I honestly could've done without it in this salad. Will definitely consider doing that next time but can't wait to check out the other salads and/or build my own! Service was good & seamless. read more

First time here. Wanted to try this place out for a long time. The salad was very good. The ingredients are fresh and has a big variety of choices. The price is decent for the size of the salad.

OK salads for $15. Made my own with chipotle chicken, avocado, and parmesan, among other things, and felt like the ingredients were decent. The chipotle ranch dressing was also pretty creamy and flavorful without being too sweet or sour. Not fancy, not mind blowing, kind of basic (like a step up from the bagged salads from the grocery store), but for $15 in downtown Los Altos, it's a reasonable option that's healthy and filling enough. read more

Got the customized Cali Ceezer salad with added bacon and homemade focaccia on the side (I requested no avocado, almonds, or good glaze... cuz they actually lower the cost when you take off toppings); my salad was very tasty, the togo container filled to the brim with fresh quality ingredients, and the pesto caesar dressing was unique and quite addicting. This was a nice, healthier option for dinner at State Street Market, and no long lines or waits on a Friday night. In fact, I just preordered online from my table inside the food hall, and picked it up at the counter about 10 minutes later. Service was standard and minimal, as everything was neatly packaged and ready to go. Enjoyed my dinner with some drinks from Murdoch's Bar, a lovely meal in a clean and inviting environment. read more
