A great go-to salad bar when you need a quick lunch. It's amazing to see the line wrapping around the block. Somehow they always manage to get me in and out in less than 15minutes... They've really got their operations down. Let it be known- a lunchtime visit to Chop't is not for the faint of heart and indecisive salad eaters. You MUST know exactly which salad, what you want in it, which dressing, and how much dressing as soon as you arrive at the counter... Otherwise you'll have a mob of angry businessmen throwing sticks if you delay the line! Pro tip: try the caramels! read more

Lunch time should not be a grinding chore, nor should one go near bankrupt. In craving for a healthy lunch that is reasonable price, non-greasy, less fat, and low cholesterol all I desired was a Mesclun salad. At first sight in my bowl the unfortunate patina of browning in the lettuce, aka not fresh. Brown lettuce is a clear indication that it was NOT fresh. They do not carry pasta in any shape or form as a topping ergo I opt for grilled shrimp for an additional $3.99 and blue cheese at $.99. It totals an utter despair (with Uncle Sam's plaguing taxes) $13.03 which my virtual profound lack of cash for the end of the week depletes my food allowance. After patrons choose their topping and dressing it all gets chopped violently on a white cutting board (not the usual norm of tossing or mixing) by a round cleaver blade that splatters everywhere. Flat whole wheat pita bread is the only choice of complimentary bread which was entirely too chewy. But... I wanted tortilla chips. Decorum is plastered by the Green Hornet with a bright neon green theme assuming eco-friendly "green power" for veggies. Tables bear whole black peppercorns and coarse sea salt as provided condiments. Service was robotic-ally efficient in a orderly fashion but not entirely customer service friendly. Chop't will chop up your entire budget! Over rated. Excessively over priced. Not entirely fresh. read more

I eat salads so regularly nowadays I've begun looking for new joints to try salads in. I had heard of Chop't before, but never got to try it until tonight. I entered and found a much larger restaurant than I expected considering the limited real estate space in this area. The ceilings are high, seating area comfortable and the decor is light and friendly. The salad bar is most impressive, with the ingredients laid out in such a way that your eyes really get to eat first. I was quite heartened by this first impression. So I go up to the guys who make the salads to order and wow, I mean...I've seen apathy from waitresses who are bored or unhappy (or both) before. I've met waiters in Chinatown who practically fell asleep as I gave them my order. But these guys were just...not interested. I had to repeat my order a couple times because they were just totally not listening. Once they finally got into it, it was kind of fun watching them put together the salad and chop it up on the chopping board, mixing the ingredients together very well. The salad itself was fantastic. I had the beet and goat cheese salad. The balsamic vinaigrette had a unique taste. It had more bite than I expected and I wasn't overwhelmed by sweetness in any way. The greens were fresh and all the ingredients worked together well. I dug the way apples were basically substitutes for croutons. Yes, I loves me some croutons, but I'm trying to lose weight so this was a welcome switch. The salad includes a wrap cut into four portions. That wasn't so hot both literally and figuratively, but I didn't go there for a wrap so it wasn't a huge deal. I honestly would give this place higher marks if the service had been a bit more snappy and friendly. I'm paying through the nose for a salad so a bit of courtesy isn't much to ask for methinks. read more

The best steak wrap in town! It's expensive for a wrap, but I just love how their soft wheat tortilla tastes! The tortilla is slightly sweeter than other brands and rich in carb, but it makes the wrap tastier.... I think this is the most delicious tortilla skin! Also their steak is done just right for the wrap, great for any meat lover! If you don't want to wait in line, just call them for pick up. P.S.- When you order steakhouse wrap, ask for Asian dressing. It's an amazing combo!!! read more

If you are looking for a good satisfying salad place, then this is your spot. Just be forewarned that many people know this secret and that is why, during lunch hour, you will discover it is not a secret after all and there is always a HUGE line. It is worth the wait. I have been going here for years and their salad selection has grown to include more vegetarian and vegan and gluten free options. This is great. I also like the fact there are more greens to select from. Kale salad with tempeh is my favorite. read more

Chopt is one of my favorite health food salad and wrap spots in Manhattan. I always get the Kebab Cobb with Fried chicken and tisiki sauce. Gets very crowded during lunch time (12P-1P). read more

To me, loving Chop't is a staple of being "basic" in NYC...well consider me basic. I absolutely love Chop't. This location in particular is great as its set up more efficiently inside than others. There was actually a lot of seating inside which was even being used. The location itself is clean and close to Union Square Park which I love. The food itself to me if ALWAYS on point. I love the variety of toppings and even healthier dressings! I tend to go for the Chicken Kebab Cobb which I love. Overall, I'd basically never turn down the chance to eat lunch/brunch/linner/dinner or even a snack here!! In fact, I'm hungry again haha! read more

This place is just a logistical nightmare. I gave Chopt another try and found that the rice was not fully cooked. It's ok, it happens. Went back today after ordering from the app and my salad was not ready until 15 min after my scheduled time. Thankfully the salad was very good :) read more

I went there today and wanted a new bowl for 11.79 That guy asked me if I want to add cookie and soda for $1, I said nope. He charged me for that and didn't give it to me! read more

Will NEVER come here again. I ordered a kebab Cobb salad. It was half full. Asked for extra dressing and a piece of bread and didn't get either. For the price what a joke. I'm better of going to McDonald's. read more

visited the Chopt restaurant in Manhasset I ordered the chicken Tinga and while creating the server was scraping the food off the counter into my dish. my second time at the same location the manager was more interested in flirting with his co worker than creating the proper order. I would not go back to that location read more

My favorite salad takeout place. Always serves fresh and delicious ingredients in their salads. Most salads come with some bread- moist and not too hard. My favorite salad is the Mexican Vegan. Would highly recommend this place. read more

Best salad and location ever! I come here every working day last 2 years. Team works efficiently and smoothly! Salads are fresh and served with a smile :) Great people = great quality! read more

I am getting really annoyed with this Chopt location! Today is the 4th time in the last few months that the Check Out Terminals were down and we customers are unable to receive points towards our Chopt account. This is unacceptable and not fair to customers! Is there no other way to receive points for our purchase on a perk YOU offer?! I am going to stop going to Chopt altogether! They are scamming us! I wish I could give NO stars! read more

Have ordered several times through the app and the order has been wrong on multiple occasions. One time fine but more than once? It shouldn't be hard to follow basic instructions. Called and spoke with the manager who argued and said "the chopper said he added chipotle chicken" really? Why would I lie about a salad being wrong? As if I like to be inconvenienced. Go to the Astor Place location if you want better service. UPDATE- After many failed attempts at getting a simple order correct, i called to verify that the ingredients would be sent correctly. I was assured over the phone only to have my salad arrive wrong, again. I simply don't understand the incompetence of the staff. Unbelievable and quite honestly embarrassing. read more

I've been a chopt fan for maybe 10 years and there are pros and cons to coming here. Pros - locally sourced produce, always fresh, always clean, friendly staff Cons - lines during lunch get insane, their price increases have got a bit out of control. We paid $27 for two salads and two bottles of water. Quantity of ingredients 100% depends on who makes your salad, it could end up the best salad you've ever had or mostly lettuce. Despite the cons chopt still has my heart although my boyfriend is desperately trying to convert me to just salad. read more

See all

Magically delicious. I always get the Texas Po'Boy... it makes me feel like I'm being healthy by getting a salad, even though it's not exactly the healthiest on their menu. The 2 things I dislike are that at the times I go for lunch it can be extremely busy and it is really very expensive. But, it's a great place and this is NYC, so I guess both of those caveats are to be expected. read more

3.5 New York seemed to have an obsession with chopped salads when I went last summer. So I finally decided to give it a try because a salad cut into tiny pieces so you get dressing and your toppings all in a bite size piece did sound like a superior way to eat salad. It was pretty good, but unfortunately mine had wayyyy too much salad dressing, so it kind of soaked through my leafy greens and was kind of unappealing after awhile. All in all it wasn't bad, but not being a big salad person I wish they had a smaller size so I wouldn't have to pay over $10 for a big salad that I won't finish. read more

I love the salads at Chopt. I've been ordering salads for delivery since June of 2020. The last time I ordered was in October. Wanted to order again and now I'm to far away for delivery. How lovely read more

Long line! Buts its ok! They serve fast enough. U wont wait long! Speed is all matters. Its little pricy with meats. Ovet $10 for greens! Well... Thats ok. U will spend more than $10 for lunch in da city. They have many choices of dressing. But watchout. Some dressings are very salty! Over all its ok. Maybe once a week is good. read more

Chopt Creative Salad Co. - Order cobb salad with bluecheese dressing. Asked extra cheese and they charged. Asked little... : ( - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

Don't be fooled by the similar price, the plates here are simply bad values, especially compared to the relatively generous salads. The Tres Chiles plate had very few sweet potatoes and very few brussel sprouts, and the sauce on it was pretty awful. The line in here is also pretty insane even before 11:30am, so I won't be back. Transaction Amount $9.24 Tres Chiles Plate $8.49 Other* * tax or other one-off adjustments $0.75 Total Rewards -- $9.24 read more

This was my first time eating at Chopt. The custom salad concept is nothing new and Chopt is insanely popular, so I pretty much knew what to expect, but would have appreciated some tips from the salad tossing staff. I was impressed with the freshness of the veggies and really liked the texture of the finely chopped kale and broccoli. The portion size was massive and it took me so long to eat (even though it's diced, kale is not easy to chew!). Unless you're really hungry, a salad at Chopt is probably too much for one meal. This location near Union Square is pretty bleak and there is a small seating area, but it is uninviting. Expect long lines during lunch. read more

I ordered the palm beach shrimp salad wrap and the shrimp tasted like they just came out of the bag/freezer without being rinsed. They didn't even look cooked they look translucent and raw but with pink veins. It even smelled like that frozen shrimp smell. Very gross experience and certainly not worth $15! read more

Pretty good, lots of variety, a pretty versatile menu now more than ever. Pretty healthy and good portion size for the price.

Loyal customer review here! Best chopt location by far. Manager and employees are fast and amazing. Never on line longer than 3-5 minutes and that's a big deal if you work in the city and have limited time for lunch. There's another chopt closer to me on 23rd but I walk to this location bc they're better and worth the extra walk. read more

I order from Chopt almost everyday for lunch and each time I order the chicken tinga. It's become my latest obsession especially with the Mexican goddess sauce! I first thought the salad bowl was not going to fill me up but the bowl is very deceiving. I'm stuffed each time! I normally order through Grubhub and my order is always correct and on time. If you're a fan of chicken and spice definitely try this salad bowl! read more

Two words: Mexican Caesar. I moved to NJ briefly and let me tell you, I'm so glad to say that it was brief. I missed beloved spots like Chop't being so easy to get to and I'm a stickler for things exactly how I like them and I like the Mexican Caesar salad in all its creamy, cheesy, corn-y glory. Always opt out for jalapenos because I tend to prefer smokey, creamy spice. Anywho, I was craving this salad like mad and upon moving back to Brooklyn and working briefly in Union square, you best believe I had this for lunch 4 out of 5 days of the week. Love their rewards app, and even though $100 for a measly $10 credit seems like a lot, it racks up fast if you're nearby and really love any of their particular salads. Lines build up around lunchtime during the week but move very quickly. Ordering in advance via their app is great, you skip the line leaving everyone on their 30-60 min break waiting to burn with jealousy. My only qualm with ordering in advance is that when I ask for extra dressing on the special instructions, 9 times out of 10 it's always waaaaay under dressed. Even seems like less than a safe assumption of what "extra" means. I've never ever gotten that little dressing when I ordered in person. How dare you deprive me of my one true love! read more

I come every day -- excellent salads. Recommend the Santa Fe with fried chicken. Friendly and personable staff.

I really do like Chop't. The main attraction being the salad being chopped to make it easy to mix and eat. The dressing adheres better when there aren't huge leaves et al. Good variety of ingredients and dressings. Do try their warm salads and seasonal ones, they will surprise you! They also give out $2 discount on your next after 3PM purchase, not sure what triggers this though. All i know is this place keeps bringing me back read more

There's always at least a 20 minute queue here during weekday lunch so be sure to plan ahead and order online if you can. Once there, however, it's a breezy flow to grab your prepaid greens and head back out the door. The ambiance is corporate cattle so I've never actually eaten in restaurant. As far as salads go, they've got about a billion and one different mixes, ingredients and options -- certainly something for everyone. I'm a regular on the Santa Fe Salad and their Cobb. While $9 for salad may seem steep, I'd challenge you to find anything comparably healthy and priced in the Union Square hood. Now go out there and get chompin'! read more

Sometimes, you just crave a slightly overpriced, slightly flashy, efficient salad. Sometimes, the little blade they chop the salad up with reminds you of pirates and you are inclined to sing pirate songs while waiting in line for your salad. Sometimes, you just want to annoy other people standing in line (this is where the pirate songs come in): "There's a ship! The black freighter! *covers one eye with hand* With a skull on it's masthead, will be coming in!" They should have a pirate salad. I don't know what it would have in it, other than oranges, you know, to prevent scurvy. Whatever the occasion, whatever the mood, a salad can be created at Chop't to fit the feeling or mood. Every topping imaginable, including but not limited to Fried Onions! Panko breaded chicken! Hearts of palm! Potatoes! The thing about Chop't that really wins me over though is the dressing selection. All the dressings are homemade and they make light versions that taste much more fatty than they actually are! Plus, they are all sugar free for those who are into that. For those who aren't into the sugar free thing, there are delicious sea salt caramels at the register. Yum. Nice and soft too. Yum. Eat here. read more

The Good: 1. lunch rush=long line, but the dudes behind the counters are PRO's and keep it moving. 2. pre-thunk out combo's...sometimes i just don't want to think...so you do it for me...fantastico 3. protein options galore--which are all more interesting than your local bodega/deli 4. seasonal options to break up the ridiculous boredom of having to have a salad every damn day 5. nutritional info available online for everything 6. spa dressings that, unless they're lying, really are low cal. 7. i like a good chopped salad, and they're tasty. 8. if you eat there all the time, get the frequent buyer card. buy 9 salads, get the 10th free. The Bad: 1. the price. it's expensive for what it is, and yes there are reasons (grass fed beef, etc etc)...but damn, tony and colin still are making a pretty penny off of us. it's a salad and you're a delivery/take out joint for godssake. read more

Since moving to New York I've found that this city is obsessed with chopped salads and I couldn't be happier about it. Something about those tiny pieces make a salad just so much tastier! It's for that reason I visit Chop't. If they didn't do chopped salads, I probably would skip it because the lettuce isn't always as fresh as it should be, and they're a bit skimpy on the ingredients. Last time I was there I paid extra to add Mexican street corn to my salad and I think I saw like 5 kernels in there. Another negative is that there's always a line out the door during lunch hours, but to their credit they make it move very quickly! I am a fan of the Mexican Caesar salad - I'm not the only one because everyone in line with me always seems to be ordering it as well. Make sure you tell them you want Mexican Caesar dressing - it's not assumed that because you got the Mexican Caesar salad that you'll get the complementary dressing, and once or twice I got their regular caesar dressing, which really isn't as good at all. I'd say it's good for a once a month or so visit when I'm feeling like a salad for lunch! read more
