Mediterranean Medley Boxed Salad (V)
Terica B.

One word! Amazing!!!! They take salad creation to another level! The location is about 10 minutes from San Jose Airport. From how they carefully packaged the food to the taste! Everything was fresh and delicious!!! I ordered the Mediterranean Medley with no feta. Since it's a drive up location, they brought my salad out to my car once it was ready. There's no seating on the inside but don't let that deter you. From my view, everything was spotless! Get more than one dressing because it's homemade! This place was one of the best salad locations I've been to in the US of A!

Pro-tip: store your extra dressings in a cup.

Vegetarian here ‍ so figured I should finally try this place out! Ordering was super easy, and there are plenty of different choices. Pick-up is even easier, just ring the bell and get your salad. Service was fine, nothing over the top and nothing bad. I like that you don't have to go inside and parking is so close. There are some patio tables outside, but it's pretty dark at night. As someone who makes really good salads and dressings from scratch, I think I just have high standards. That being said, the salad was good, but I was definitely expecting it to WOW me. Maybe I tried the wrong one? I ordered Mediterranean medley, added chickpeas and ordered an extra dressing lemon vinaigrette. So glad I did, because I actually preferred the lemon dressing, but they tasted good mixed too. The portions are not a problem, and for a $20 salad I'm so glad. You can definitely get 2 meals! Will maybe come back and try a different one. Definitely plenty of vegetarian options and pet friendly outside.

Good Salad is always my go-to place for salads because it's reasonably priced and the ingredients and flavors work so well together. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, and the dressing is amazing and really ties the salad together without overpowering it. It's consistently satisfying and never feels boring, which is hard to find with salads. Highly recommend if you're looking for a reliable, fresh, and delicious option. It is kind of hard to find the store and it is take out only, so plan on taking it out to go elsewhere to eat. You have to place order ahead of time from your phone.

Blazin chicken w the dressing
Kristina K.

I come here at least 4 times a week and it's always consistently the best thing I've ever eaten. All the ingredients are so fresh!!! The staff is so sweet as well I love the ease of picking it up when I ring the doorbell. It's always ready when I order!! Also obsessed with the lentil soup!!! If you haven't had it, you need it!!! I get it every time now after trying it

Comes with vinaigrette and sauce packet

Food: - Item: Blazing Bird Salad - The salad was pretty good, loved the crunchy onions - Came with a vinaigrette and chipotle ranch which was pretty good - I believe all the meats are halal here - Lettuce seemed fresh - Chicken was cooked and seasoned although I felt like the portion size for the chicken and avocado could've been better, didn't feel like I got enough for the price - 7/10 Service: - You're served out of a window so you just pull up and pick up your food - I recommend ordering off the app, which is what I did, you can choose when you want the food ready by - The utensils are compostable - 9/10 Ambiance: - Great place to just pick up and go - I believe you can scan a QR code and order that way as well - No wait time unless you order on the spot - Parking is decent - It's a bit hidden away but not too hard to find either - 8/10 Overall Rating: 8/10

Look at how cute my hat is!
Roxy M.

After writing my initial review, the owner contacted me and invited me to give the place another shot, offering a free salad. With all the amazing reviews this establishment has, I figured I must have gone on a very off day--and boy, was I right! I wasn't sure what to expect, but the salad was incredible--a complete 180 from the first time I had it. This is definitely a salad I'll be craving. I highly recommend trying the Blazing Bird; it was fantastic! Thank you to the amazing staff for going out of their way to turn my experience into a positive one. I'll definitely be back! Also, look at how cute their merch is next time you go to the counter to pick up your salad!!! My pink hat is so cute.

Dont exactly remember what I got in the salad but this place is sooo good! I've had multiple salads from there now and it's always so filling and it makes me feel so healthy too. I've never seen so many options for a salad too, it made it kind of hard to choose ‍ If you're looking for a good salad I would deff try good salad lol the name speaks for itself!

Steak Supreme Salad with extra blue cheese and added Carmelized Pecans and Sweet Potato Chips
Megan T.

I didn't know what to expect when my bestie told me to pick her up so we can grab these salads. We pulled up to this building and saw the cute logo and radish signage, knowing we were in the right place. Then we walked up and rang the little doorbell, a window sung open, they asked us our name and handed us what turned out to be these glorious salads. Staff is very friendly and the food, extremely deliciousssss! I got the Steak Supreme and it was a perfect balance of sweet, salty, fresh and crunchy (cause I added sweet potato chips and carmelized nuts). The portion was generous and it was easy to mix in the box provided. While The Good Salad isn't a storefront there were these two picnic benches outside which was nice with the sun out. Will definitely be going back to try their other salads!

Samurai Steak Salad
Jamie L.

to go only spot for darn good salads. i had the cali ceezer salad modified by subbing chickpeas/garbanzo beans for chicken and adding pita chips. yum, yum, yum! so fresh and delicious. would come back to try more. there's two picnic tables out front and parking can be tricky on weekdays.

Blazing Bird Salad
Cindy Z.

Didn't expect a team lunch order to lead me to the best dang salad I've ever had, but here we are. Absolutely love the Blazing Bird, swapped the chipotle ranch for the grape vinaigrette. Fresh, bold, greatly textured. This place delivers. Every. Single. Time.

Blazing bird salad
Robert R.

Amazing salad! Crunchy and satisfying texture! Delicious flavor and the chicken was perfectly cooked! Its Halal too! The dressings were also on the side by default so you could easily adjust how much you wanted. Very limited seating and parking. Its definitely a to-go spot. Service was cheerful and friendly! Was very happy with my blazing bird salad and would get it again. I highly recommend this spot to all and will definitely be back.

Catherine N.

According to Yelp, this spot is surprisingly #8 Top Place to Eat in the nation, so we were eager to try it out. I really enjoyed the customization options - I got a steak supreme salad with parm instead of blue cheese and added edamame + crunchy onions. The steak was very tender and all the toppings made for a satisfying lunch. The ranch dressing was already zingy, so next time I would skip the glaze which took it over the top for me. But, that's kinda on me for not tasting before dumping it in. (Pro-Tip: it's very tart! Drizzle a bit and taste as you go!!) The spot lives up to the name - we had a good salad. I'm not sure if there's really even such thing as an extraordinary salad or a great salad even. But, this was very solid!

Cali Ceezer Salad
Mayra D.

I always order takeout from their Santa Clara location, but yhey always greet you with a smile and super nice! My go to salad is the Halal Chicken Ceezer Salad, ingredients are super fresh, romaine lettuce insanely crisp and the dressing is literally insanely amazing!

They are simply too good to be true! The food is the very best I have ever had, consistently! I always start with the Kalai as an appetizer, then on to the charbroiled beef kabobs, medium rare. The sides are as good as the main course! Candied carrots with walnuts, the perfect rice and a small bowl of lentil soup. Even those "dirty" chips they serve with the meal are fantastic! I have had the very same meal every time and I always leave shaking my head in disbelief regarding how fantastic the food was. If you have never been, make it your next night out. I assure you it will not disappoint!

(+$ Mediterranean-style-eggplant, feta, hummus), (4/5). A good portion-sized. Flavorful and tasty. Fields Of Green: kale, parsley, celery, apple, lemon, cucumber, ginger (3.5/5). Space Dust IPA (4/5) - smooth and clean finish. I'd order this again. Support your local business.

Definetly a spot to satisfy your Mexican food cravings!…read more Their portions are massive, and each bite of food was a burst of authentic flavor! So many yummy options to choose from on their menu, but I highly recommend their BRAND NEW carna asada fries! The variety of tacos and burritos here are impressive, and we went for their crispy taco salad and fish tacos which is my personal favorite! They gave FREE nachos too and I used their taco salad as a dip hehe Here is the delicious spread * Cheese quesadilla: super cheesy and I also slathered a generous amount of guac on top * Fish tacos: grilled fish with shredded cabbage and delicious chipotle sauce * Crispy taco salad: served in a crunchy taco shell and loaded with various ingredients including a generous scoop of guac on top * Carna asada fries: loaded with fries, tender beef and melted cheese

Wish I could say this location has improved but in fact it has gotten worse. I came here for a BOGO…read moreUber Eats special on the grilled veggie burrito (self-pickup). One of them contained only one veggie--zucchini--while normally there are carrots and some others making this my favorite item. Not only that but they left out the guacamole, cheese, and corn salsa entirely! I didn't know that until I got home, of course. The rice was a bit crunchy on top of that. Yeck. I did catch though, before leaving the store, that my order was missing the 5 oz. container of salsa that I paid for so was able to ask for that. I didn't bother about not getting any free chips that were supposed to come with it all. The way a once-popular chain has dwindled down to a handful of locations would suggest the closures are due to an overall decline in quality. However the El Camino location in Santa Clara was still as good as always the last time I went there. I don't expect this place to last very much longer

Found this place on DoorDash and they happened to have a great deal going on. 50% off $45 or more,…read moreso we decided to give them a try. We ordered: - Burmese Garlic Noodle (plain) - Basil Lemongrass Chicken - Burmese Style Red Curries Chicken - Coconut Rice The garlic noodles were good, although not my personal favorite out of everything we ordered. The basil lemongrass chicken was very flavorful and probably one of our favorite dishes of the meal. The Burmese style red curry chicken was also really good with a rich curry flavor. What surprisingly stood out to all of us though was the coconut rice. Everyone really enjoyed it and it paired perfectly with the curry dish. The portions were generous too. The whole meal was very filling and we actually had enough leftovers for two of us to have lunch the next day. The pickup process threw me off a little at first because I didn't realize this was one of those shared kitchen locations with multiple restaurants operating out of the same spot. But the staff there were extremely nice. I arrived a little before my pickup time and they checked on my order right away and let me know it should be ready in about 10 minutes. I waited in the car and one of the workers was kind enough to bring the food out to me. Overall, really solid experience with tasty food, generous portions, and friendly service. We will definitely order from here again.

Accidentally ordered from this place instead of a different Burmese restaurant with a similar name…read more The menus are similar, but the quality of the food is not. The chicken curry was greasy and chunky, and the sesame beef had the texture of jerky that's been left out in the sun for a week. I guess the coconut rice was alright. I looked them up and it's one of those ghost kitchens that operates as a dozen other "restaurants" on the apps, all of them mid. Definitely make sure to check the name of the restaurant before I order next time lol.
