The idea here is for the resto to buy imperfect produce to keep costs down and it does! When imperfect is unavailable they go for local and then organic. (Why wouldn't they just buy regular commercial? This answer was a tad confusing when I asked if they used organic produce. They said it's too hard to find imperfect organic. We ordered a chipotle chicken salad bowl and a shrimp bowl. The carrot and radish were supposed to be pickled but were fresh, otherwise everything was as stated. They offer 2 vegan dressings-- we got carrot ginger and it wasn't too oily and was full of carrot purée, which was nice. Upon enquiring, they use sunflower oil, which is better than "vegetable" or canola. The chickens are free range (but probably still fed GMO corn). A good place for a less expensive meal. The takeaway was in compostable bowls so that was a bonus. read more

Food is so delicious and affordable if ImPerfect gives out hugs it can replace mom! $11 a bowl bro! That's really good and it's the large too, never seen anything like this anymore. You get unlimited toppings and are not charged extra. Bowl was super delicious and ingredients are fresh. The owner said he goes to the market to select and buy it himself! No chopped up bagged B.S. like other places. I highly recommend the sweet potato noodles and the beef protein! The peanut sauce is really good as well. This place is getting really popular, order on Ritual ahead to bypass the wait. If this place was closer to me I would go every day. But I go to the Goodlife up the street bro so I can hop on down after I get jacked! Food: 4.8 Service: 4.8 Ambiance: 4.6 Value: 4.9 === Overall: 4.87 read more

ImPerfect Fresh Eats - Large bowl only $11! Wow - Salad Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Was a little disappointed upon entry because they actually don't service açaí bowls :( They should probably take that off of their Yelp page. We ended up ordering 2 whole wheat wraps for lunch with chicken, spring mix, lettuce, light chipotle sauce, and other veggies. I expected it to be just a decent healthy wrap, but it blew me away! It took a while for they to heat it up, but when we (eventually) got it, the wrap was nicely crisped on both sides. I will definitely return for more wraps and maybe even other dishes if I visit Toronto again. read more

ImPerfect Fresh Eats - Chipotle chicken protein bowl! - Salad Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

While walking around downtown Toronto, I came across this restaurant that I had never heard of before. It looked to be a healthy option, so I walked in and took a look at the menu. The girl working there was so patient and helpful, and made recommendations and helped me decide what to get. She said that the "charred chicken bowl" was the most popular, so I went with it. I added feta cheese and tomatoes free of charge, and got the regular garlic aioli and hot sauce with it. It was honestly so delicious- The chicken, all the vegetables, and rice were cooked well and the crunchy onions and fresh feta cheese was the cherry on top! They also have a few desserts which are also quite yummy, including a chocolate nutella brownie! read more

Food was really just not good. Dressing was worse somehow. Hate to leave a bad review but I was shocked at how I couldn't even really eat what I ordered. read more

I visit ImPerfect for lunch on a regular basis and love that it's 1) reasonably priced and 2) close to home. I always order on Ritual because the waiting area is quite small, and have never had an issue with my order being either late or incorrect. My go-to is the charred chicken salad which I normally get with romaine, spinach, croutons, red onions and Parmesan. Their Caesar dressing is on point and the only thing I find is that the greens can wilt if the meat is left in the container for too long. As a result I always ask for it separate, which is never a problem. Reasonably-priced, delicious lunch options are a rarity in this area, and I also love how they are reducing food waste by using cosmetically imperfect ingredients. It's a win-win! read more

I went there with a group of my friends to try their menu and I am glad I did!! It was fresh and delicious!! Selection is pretty straight forward, you choose the size, base, protein then unlimited toppings which is the best part, then the sauce.  There is little price difference between small and large size, I decided on large size. The base can be sweet potato noodles, brown rice, spinach or fresh greens. Since I eat lots of salad on the meals I prepared I decided to treat myself with half sweet potato noodles and half brown rice. Then selected all the toppings which looked really fresh. Staff mentioned that toppings can change based on the season and what is available in the market which makes total sense. At this time some of the toppings were tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, soy beans, avocado, lettuce, spinach, sea weed. I didn't count but they had almost 15-20 different toppings and you can choose as many as you want, they put it on your base. Protein options are beef, chicken, tofu or shrimp. They mentioned that they will add mushroom to the list soon. Again this might change based on seasonal availability. I have chosen tofu. As a final touch I have chosen the ginger sauce which is prepared in house. And now the tasting part!! Sweet potato noodles and brown rice were warm and delicious under fresh toppings. Tofu was perfectly spiced and cooked on the toppings, their special ginger sauce was just yummy!! Overall this bowl got full star from me!! There was plenty of food, even though I was hungry I was full half way on the bowl and enjoyed the rest for lunch next day.  "imperfect eats" is imperfectly perfect!! What a great concept, using the imperfect produce - meaning broken carrots, small avocados, oddly shaped vegetables. This produce is perfect other than its physical shape, nothing spoiled or expired. First of all this is great environmentally, this place is saving them to be thrown way just because they don't look the right way that we got used to seeing and secondly since they buy these for a cheaper price they reflect the savings to the customers, it is a win-win!! Great initiative !!!  I had the chance to meet with owner Jeff who is very passionate about environment and his restaurant.  Great concept and initiative!! It is prized very reasonably compared to the other places around. I highly recommend and will be a regular for sure!! read more

Spoiler alert but you can't tell the produce is imperfect when it's all chopped up. There was only one grotesque specimen which was only for display ;). A small bowl (10$) is plenty good for an average girl. I got the beef, half salad half black rice with plenty of veggies and the carrot ginger dressing. Not the most amazing thing I tasted in the world since it's healthy and there was no poke option but all in all yummy! Also they don't have acai bowls or smoothies read more

Went here on a Weekday afternoon to pick up. I build up my own salad with noodles, spinach, tofu, beets and what not. The only thing i did not like is one of the dressing I choose was ginger carrot which was not that great. Really good fresh food for the money we pay. The service was quick too. read more

OTHER TOPPINGS - sweet potato mash - avocado - tomato - seaweed - pineapple - beet - cucumber - carrot - cheese - taro chips - variety of sauces (peanut sauce was recommended) etc. many more The owners care about the quality of the food and customer satisfaction.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE ImPerfect Eats and so excited that it's only a 7 minute walk from my MBA classes! Extremely fresh but even more flavourful. We tried large bowls and decided to go for 1) noodles & kalbi beef and 2) rice & chipotle chicken. The bases are 100% gluten free and vegan, which is incredible. Honestly, both were unique in flavour and I'd have a tough time picking which to order again....thank goodness my partner in dine was with me so I could try both. Toppings: So many toppings; a really healthy but deliciously filling meal. Options included daikon, edamame, jalapeños, and sprouts. They use imperfect produce but literally you can't notice and it taste better than places that I assume use "perfect" produce. Sauce: If you don't have any nut allergies I'd recommend the peanut sauce and ginger carrot sauce for the noodles and beef. Really yummy to mix up the flavours if you're adventurous. Service: friendly service and the food is made with love. They explained how it works and made awesome recommendations, especially on sauce combinations. The space is beautiful and full of light. read more

Appreciate the concept. Not the best tasting food; had the chicken and it tasted a tad burned. Enough for two meals

They got me at Unlimited Toppings!!!! Decor 5/5 Omg the ceiling is so beautiful!!!!! Definitely should go there for the instagram people!!! Food 5/5 The most flavourful salad Ive ever had! I love love love their warm protein made per order. This is the first salad store i tried that does not use cold chicken. Their peanut sauce is a hit! I also like the ginger carrot sauce! Price 5/5 Most affordable one around the area to be honest! They are very generous on the protein. Calilove is too overpriced and taste not half as good. Service 5/5 Everyone are so nice and friendly. They give you recommendations on what to get for the day as the food are fresh and seasonal read more

While the portions seem ok , the quality of ingredients is quite mediocre for the price point . I built my own bowl and added in my own ingredients . These sort of salad restaurants are common in this area of downtown and I would say it is in the bottom half in terms of rankings . read more

Ordered lunch through Ritual. Didn't realize but you can select more than one base, so I accidentally got sweet potato noodles and spring mix, because I didn't unclick on the noodles in the all when I checked off spring mix. This ended up being a good mistake because the noodles were da bomb. Many items greyed out and not available; hopefully this isn't a common occurrence (I ordered late lunch, around 130 pm). Would have liked to try some more of the toppings choices. The toppings I got were very tasty, especially the lemongrass tofu. I selected marbled cheese and feta, and these were almost non existent in taste and amount. I would order from here again though, I always like to try a new place at least twice. Will report back if my rating goes up or down! read more

We came here on a Monday night and while the place itself was relatively empty there were a lot of food delivery orders going in and out at this place! I was excited to try this place after reading all these reviews and the mission of this restaurant using imperfect produce that could or otherwise be thrown out. I got a regular bowl with a mix of spring greens and black rice with shrimp, and all the toppings. I personally was disappointed at the portions and thought the portions were small for a regular size. However the shrimp was tender and tasty, and the bowl itself was yummy! I'd probably go for the larger size next time. read more

We've been here twice now, and overall it was a great experience. The food is delicious, and lots of great options for toppings. The staff is friendly and the decor is bright and inviting. We ordered in Ritual both times, and the first time they missed a couple toppings on mine, but they were really nice about it and added the missing toppings. The second time they got the order right, so probably just a one - off :) Will definitely be back! read more

Really delicious healthy option! When I saw this was opening I thought it would be just another freshii but I'm really impressed. The pricing is decent/standard and comes with unlimited toppings with lots of great and different topping options! They serve wraps and bowls. Delicious food, friendly staff and a nice trendy interior. I will definitely we back!! read more

Accidentally stumbled on this "hole n the wall" gem... the storefront is so small, that if you walk by too fast, you will miss it. But what Perfectly Imperfect lacks in size, it makes up for with great service and great food! Hate the fact that I live almost 2,000 miles away. Would definitely become a regular if I was a Toronto local. read more

Flock, Freshii, Impact Kitchen, and all you other overpriced salad bars, it's over. ImPerect is where it's at. Their bowls are massive, the taste is amazing, and I can't believe how cheap it is! The restaurant itself is also super charming. I've been here 3 times now, and will definitely be coming back. read more

Such a great place for poke bowl. The big bowl really fills you and you get so many varieties. Everything is also very tasty

Tried this out with the $5 off ritual deal and was not disappointed! I thought the small was already a very generous portion that I could barely finish. I love how protein is included and you can have as many other toppings as you want. Good place to stop by for a healthy meal! read more

Their food is delicious but their quality control sucks. I have had issues with missing smoothies, dressings, and add ons. I have specifically asked if an item is in the bag because its been missing before, to be assured that it is only, to get back to my office to find out its still not. Today I got a surf and turf bowl via uber eats and wasnt even given the two sauces that were supposed to come with it. I am beyond frustrated with this location. read more

The most disgusting salad I have ever had. I requested a steak salad and it was coming with salad and rice. while I was eating it I found some pieces of chicken. I was unsure of what they are so eating more. and there was more of that chicken mixed with the rice. seems like someone before me, didn't finish their food and they added that to my steak salad. when I talked with them about it. they just said sorry. not even providing a refund for this disgusting scene. read more

Writing this as I leave Imperfect Fresh Eats for the second time in 3 hours. I don't actively review as I prefer to just tell my friends and colleagues through word of mouth, as my digital footprint is minimal by choice. BUT LISTEN. THIS PLACE IS THE REAL DEAL. Fear of dry or tasteless protein and stale produce? Not here, my friends. This place blows every single salad place I've ever tried out of the water, and this is coming from somebody who gets ripped off with $20 simple salads on the regular. I walked in here randomly with curiosity, after grabbing my usual from the place next door. I was really surprised with the pricing and overall quality of all the ingredients. I decided to get a small bowl with black rice and spring mix PLUS chicken AND shrimp; unlimited toppings and my total was $13 before my tip. I tip based on my personal principle of solely appreciating the service industry but man, these people really deserve every single hard earned penny. It was flavourful, fresh, and it didn't leave me feeling bloated. I felt I had made a great healthy choice that shockingly didn't break the bank. Not only that, the workers are incredibly helpful in offering suggestions or letting you know that it's completely okay to add an extra topping...or 20. Let me live people. The owner's name is Jeff I believe? I hope that's right. I sheepishly explained I already knew that adding an additional different protein was extra, while I was paying as I had been there a few hours prior, so we got to talking. My first experience at this place with another server was just as friendly. These people are really nice and informative, and here's where it gets interesting. Jeff explained to me that the reason for the name "Imperfect Fresh Eats" was due to his need to spread awareness about our food industry, and the unfortunate fact that ~30% of the food harvested for consumers is thrown away, simply because they look "imperfect". I was familiar with this issue, as there have been North American comparisons to Europe where this practice is banned outright. Jeff's main goal is to show that "imperfect" ingredients, locally sourced as well I think (don't quote me), and fresh eats here made in house every day are just as perfect, despite any physical blemishes. I don't know about you, but I believe I'm pretty damn near perfect despite my OWN imperfections, so why can't my food be the same way? Especially when those may not be physically visible on the surface of a person, or in this case chopped, sliced and arranged in containers sitting pretty. They are able to keep their costs to consumers so low without sacrificing quality because of this. Imperfect ingredients are simply cheaper, because they are deemed undesirable. Thinking deeper, I'm sure many consumers are fine with paying less for a tomato that isn't perfectly round or the same even shade of red we're used to seeing in a grocery store. Food industry leaders should take notice. Granted, the market forces driving supply/demand and the price ceilings and floors of this industry probably take precedence. He explained a lot of his other visions and goals for his company that are really awe-inspiring. I'd recommend asking about them, if you have some time while waiting for your protein to cook, fresh for your order. This company has the right idea and I only hope more people continue to support their genuine values and amazing food. Grains, salads, wraps, smoothies AND açai bowls for my fellow millennials. You can't go wrong here. It's simple, quality eats, yet complex tastes at the same time? I don't even like pineapple pizza, but choosing the diced pineapples in these salads are a solid choice! Hope you enjoy as much as I did. *Get the peanut dressing or the ginger carrot one, or be extra like me and get both! Thank me later. read more

Picked up a quick dinner here after an event. Super healthy and fresh food. I got the sweet potato noodles bowl with all topping except croutons and balsamic dressing and it was tasty and filling but not too heavy for a late dinner. Would probably take out the beets next time as that didn't go with the rest. Who likes beets anyway?! Highly recommend if you want a lighter option for dinner. I love that they don't charge extra for shrimps over chicken or tofu. read more

Good spot for something light and healthy, although the price seemed a little steep. Had the sweet potato noodles with kalbi beef, and garlic butter shrimp. The noodles were Korean glass noodles when I initially saw it I thought it would have a sweet potato taste to it. Although in general was a good place read more

I was surprised. The value of what you get is pretty good. This may become a regular lunch spot.

Meh. I was excited to try this new place because reviews and i love a healthy and filling lunch. Unfortunate I found the food to be mediocre and the ratio of carbs veggies and protein to be way off. As in, lots of carbs, small portion of protein and toppings. I felt like I had ro ask three times to get a bit more veggies. The beef protein choice was alright, but not really what I expected for kalbi. All in all, probably would not visit again. read more
