First time at Chopt and it was yummy! This is located downstairs in the food hall. I got the chicken tinga and it was super flavorful. The scallions weren't too overwhelming and provided texture/ crunch. The only thing I didn't like is how the default setting for online ordering saves to "no" bread. I accidentally didn't toggle it and missed out on the bread read more

First off the menu is very overwhelming. I love all the options but also it's a lot to read to be honest. I chose to build my own salad with red onions, chickpeas, cucumber and tomato and the Chopt salad mixed with falafel as my protein. There are several people who work on your meal and pass it down as they go like they do at chipotle and other places. When I first got the salad mixed I saw some old pieces of salad, but the next person picked them out before I could say anything. The salad itself was alright. It wasn't anything special. It kind of made my mouth tingle. Didn't hit me with fresh flavors or anything. I did like the yogurt dill sauce. The ambiance was okay if a food court in the basement of Penn Station is your drift. I do like that the fork they gave me is produced with plant starch that's cool. Sadly this place didn't leave a special place in my heart so I probably wouldn't go back. read more

Manhattan, NY (Moynihan Hall) - I have my favorite go-to salad places in the area so the only time I visit Chopt is when I'm in Moynihan Train Hall to pick up the occasional salad before boarding Amtrak. (Cos no one wants to smell your fried chicken sandwich or bacon cheeseburger on the train.) It's ok and the service is hit or miss. I ordered a build-your-own salad but got thrown off by the sequencing as the person asked for my ingredients, then the base, dressing, and proceeded to chop up my salad. When I mentioned I would also like to add chicken, she was visibly annoyed and shuffled back to scoop the meat out of a warming pot behind her and plopped it into the bowl. To be fair, the proteins are positioned at the start of the salad bar (while the warm options are entirely out of sight), so we were already at the end of the assembly line when I interrupted her choreographic flow mid-chop. I thought it was liturgical practice to follow the steps of base, toppings, main protein, dressing, and for the ingredients to be displayed more or less in that order, but I guess the concept of a "chopt" salad is that it all get chopped up and mixed in together anyway so the architecture doesn't matter. For the price, which is comparable to Just Salad and Sweetgreen, the ingredients just aren't as premium or interesting. The few salad and bowl experiences I've had here have been mediocre and clocks in at a 2 out of 10 on my excitement meter, but I did genuinely enjoy a wrap I got here once. read more

Good corporate slop with lots of food and worth the price. I wish they added more sauce to my bowl but this was delicious and felt very healthy. I pre ordered and it was perfect and easy picking it up. read more

I've gotten food to go from Moynihan Train Hall to eat on the train home several times, but I chose Chopt for my dinner on my train home last Sunday. I've to other Chopt locations, so I knew what to expect. It's a fast casual concept with salads and bowls, and, while I've never understood why a salad would be made better by chopping every ingredient up into small bits of all the same size, they do make decent salads and bowls. On this occasion, I got their chicken avocado bowl with carrot miso and creamy sesame, which was a fine salad for the train home. Light and healthy enough for a train meal. Not a bad spot to grab a meal for a train. read more

This place is inside the train station right at the entrance to the food hall. Their online ordering system makes it easy to grab and go. The warm bowls are my go to, and I'd like to get a variety of things. They're always very filling, flavorful, and at a decent price for the location. read more

I personally had a great experience at Chopt @ the Moynihan location. I ordered my go-to which will always be the chicken tinga bowl & got my food in a prompt manner. I forgot the managers name but he's really nice as well. read more

Good spot to grab a quick salad or wrap. Service was somewhat efficient, but staff could be a bit more detailed oriented. No one was offered bread that I saw order a salad, even though that is supposed to be part of their standard offering. Reading through other reviews, that seems to unfortunately be a theme... This spot is more of a grab and go, but there is open seating nearby. read more

Great salads. I cant eat them like i used to, but when traveling, i know i can count on this place to give me a deliciously, fresh, salad. This particular location is inside the Moynihan train hall. The line was long, but the staff handled it well. read more

I pre ordered a salad on the app for pick up. When I got there, the mobile section was empty but I did see my order sitting in the back so I got in the regular line to ask the staff. I wished they put my order in the mobile area as I had to wait like 15 min in the regular line to ask for my order. Salad is filling but can get pricier if you substitute or do add ons. Location is Moynihan food hall. read more

I would say they need to pay more attention to detail. When making the salad they were busy looking every which way. They also forgot to add the bread to my order and only when leaving I asked for it because I saw someone else getting the bread. That is supposed to be part of the lunch. My salad was pretty good, I wouldn't say great. Perhaps if the workers smiled and said hello, it would be a better experience. read more

The food court at Moynihan Train Hall is surprisingly great. I was planning on eating horrible (for me) food for the rest of the day though, and so I needed a salad in my life. Chopt was here for me. After entirely too much deliberation (the staff was very patient, and quite efficient), I rolled with the Chicken Tinga Bowl. It's well balanced with the braised chicken, avocado, black beans, kale, cotija, and the cornerstone of every healthy salad, tortilla chips. I got extra avocado and extra chicken, and it was almost too much food. I could've used a little hot sauce, but no complaints overall. It was a solid meal, and a healthier option than most of the nearby stands. There are also plenty of tables to sit at in the high-ceilinged dining hall, and wi-fi to play around on if you're dining alone. I'm sure I'll be back someday soon. read more

For full disclosure, I am typically a Just Salad guy but in an all out frenzy to make my train to Philly, I thought Chopt would be the ideal quick option that still allows me to stay on the path to a Rockstar skinny frame. Other than the guy giving me some attitude when taking my order, I now hold Chopt in the highest regard of fast casual healthy food. The attitude came when I asked for no cheese on my salad and got no confirmation, so I did my best to double check without sounding like a mf Karen, and he said "I HEARD you." Like damn bro lmao. But I mean it could have been a bad day and working at the train station Chopt can't be the easiest job. To my surprise they had me in and out of that line in under 5 minutes. After the sweet cashier handed me my Blissful Harvest bowl, I was oddly reminiscent of a prime Devin Hester having just fielded a punt at the 20 yard line and turned on the JETS through Moynihan Hall to track 6. I ended up making the train with like 8 minutes to spare so I really didn't need to do allat, but no pressure no diamond you feel me? I sat down in the last car of the Amtrak train, and cracked open my Blissful Harvest bowl made up of kale, chicken, sweet potatoes, rice, and apples dressed with a white balsamic vinegar dressing and dug in. It was honestly fantastic, tasting about as fresh as you can get for one of these fast casual salad chains. I was shocked how good it was. As the car began to move, the hero reared his head to look out the window in anticipation for the weekend ahead... Him and his Blissful Harvest Bowl vs the world...

Not bad. I tend to gravitate towards sad salads when I'm on a work trip, because I know my stomach can handle them. And Chopt is the king of the sad salad chains. I placed my order a few days before and cautiously approached the super long line five minutes after the selected time window, only to be very pleasantly surprised when a nice lady promptly fished out my bag and handed it over, already packed with utensils and napkins. (I say this because I had a miserable experience with Cava, where someone stole my to-go order and I had to wait in a super long line to get my food, thus defeating the purpose of placing an order in advance.) This baby was quite heavy and chock full of veggies, which my body desperately needed - I loved the roasted broccoli and beets. Everything tasted pretty fresh. All in all, I could've made two meals out of a $17 salad (which definitely beats Sweetgreen in terms of cost) but ... as it were, I was on a train with nothing else to do so I ate the whole thing out of boredom. Overall, I'd choose this as a pre-train option again. read more

The renovation they did to Penn Station with Moynihan train hall is stunning and it's so nice to have a food hall in this area of the city (especially because it's only a few blocks from my office!) Each stand in the food hall looks more appealing than the next, but occasionally, it's nice to go to a known entity, where you know what you can expect. I love that about Chop't, that I can go into any location across the city and within reason receive about the same meal. My experience at this location did not serve me well, however. Being in the train station, it is a very popular and crowded location, which I was prepared for. I ordered from my desk at work, schmoozed with coworkers for about 15 minutes, took 5 minutes to gather my things and exit the building, walked 5 minutes to the food hall, saw my meal wasn't ready, wandered around Moynihan for another 15 minutes people-watching, and when I returned there was a massive line and my salad still wasn't ready. I hung out another fifteen minutes and finally my salad was ready. I brought it back to my office and was disappointed to open it and see a full hunk of avocado plopped on top of my salad, not chop't, with brown spots. Diving deeper into my salad, it looked like they had purposefully selected the mushiest cherry tomatoes and tried to chop them with the dullest knife they owned. Miserable. Meanwhile, the dressing I got tasted a bit off, I couldn't eat more than a few bites. read more

Located in the food court in Moynihan train hall, it is one of the healthier options here. I tried the Tahini Caesar Special salad - it was not bad and was filling but not sure it was worth the price. Service was quick though. During typical meal times, seating can be hard to find even though there are a lot of tables in the food court area (with outlets for charging!) read more

First of all, the new Moynihan food court is unreal??? I've been taking Amtrak reliably for 6 months and holy crap, it seems like this sprung up overnight. A lot of places were closed when I went (strange for 6pm?) but nonetheless I found myself at Chopt ordering a Mexicali Caesar as my best option in the train station. Overall I'm not a huge Chopt fan and like sweetgreen and Just Salad a lot more but thought whatever, I just need a cheap and fast dinner to take on the train. Salad was good! Best I've ever had? Of course not. But for a quick stop before a train I'd def return. Employees were nice as well. read more

I was intrigued by Chopt after a long day of travel (that had yet to be over...) and decided to check it out while awaiting my ride. After living in Boston, Chopt and sweetgreen seemed super similar and they're both solid options. It was a quick wait, and the employees were all very attentive. I had never been before, and they were very patient as I navigated the menu and explored my options, even despite how loud it was in the station. I ended up creating my own salad with spinach, grilled chicken, pickled onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and edamame. The salad was fine, nothing to really write home about but it really hit the spot after such a long day. It's a generous portion size that could easily make more than one meal. The fresh bread on the side is a delicious touch - had it been warmed up, it would have been out of this world. Throughout the salad, I did notice that the dressing I ordered (the chopt vinaigrette) really overpowered the salad overall. I'm not sure if there was a way for me to have gotten it on the side or a lighter amount, but it was loud and I was in a rush. Pricey, but isn't everything in NYC? Overall, solid pick in Moynihan as you await your ride. read more

there was a long line during the lunch rush but decided to try it out given it being a popular choice for many. the line moved pretty quick and the service was good and efficient. the vinaigrette dressing on the strawberry summer salad was a bit pungent towards the end but it was a decent salad nonetheless. if you're looking for a quick, healthy, and filling meal, this is the place! read more

The staff were kind, as I approached the counter, I mentioned it is my first time here. The man smiled back offering no clear directions. So I asked, can I order off menu, and he said that I can choose 3 sides and build my own salad or choose from the menu. Then I said, eggs, chicken and bacon. He said, "Sides are not protein" - so in my rush to catch a train I ordered a familiar Cobb salad. The Cobb salad was delicious and I had to eat it in two separate settings. I was able to order a local IPA. They put a brown bag around it, which enables you to walk with it freely in the station. Although it was allowed, I didn't want to have difficulty carrying my luggage, nor did I want to attract unwanted attention. The staff were friendly, and I had only asked about the beer because train time was approaching and I was on my way to the airport. This salad was lovely and broke up the other food that sometimes is just a filler that is eaten at the airport. read more

The restaurant was cool, clean, & efficient. The salad was good, but I was a bit disappointed in the amount & lack of some ingredients. I paid to add shrimp, but was disappointed in the amount of shrimp in my salad. There was no avocado, which is included with the salad. I also added cotija cheese, which was not on there. read more

Ordered online, showed up at the designated time and waited over an hour. They appeared to be backed up from a previous large order, but anyone who arrived and waited in line was served promptly, while online orders got increasingly congested. When the bottleneck began to clear, they served people in no particular order, with recent entries being cleared first. When I inquired, I was told that they would "remake my order." In short - It is faster to grow your own salad. Do not waste your entire lunch hour waiting in line here. read more

Great spot for a quick bite in Penn Station! I got a Mexican Cesar salad and I have to say it was great. Something else that really impressed me was how quickly the salad was prepared. Perfect for a travel day on the go. Definitely will be coming back. read more

This location is in the Moynihan Train Hall. Very convenient if you want to grab some food before going on your train! The salads are made fresh in front of you, and the ingredients look fresh and everything looks clean. I got the Shrimp Taco salad that's part of their Destination Mexico series. The salad is a generous portion and it was flavorful! I usually don't like salads, but I'm glad I decided to go with Chopt on my recent trip. I felt satisfied and healthy after my meal. They also provided a free paper bag and a free bread with my salad purchase and were generous with napkins. read more

When coming through Penn Station right before a long trip I love stopping here. This place is pretty popular but never a long wait. Essentially you place your order for what you want - a custom salad or a pre fixe. I love the warm bowls - Chicken Tinga and you can customize your base (I.e. cauliflower or grain) as well as add extras. To top it off you can even choose your dressing. The price is not bad and hits the spot each and every time. I would also recommend the ranch chicken salad. read more
