    Don Quixote Salad
    Cassandra A.

    I love this salad chain. I hate that they dont have many locations near the west side of town but I will happily drive to get these salads. The Don Quixote is my all time favorite and I sub shrimp instead of chicken. It's always so flavorful and they are never stingy with the ingredients. It's always so clean in here and I like the variety of options. The staff always seem to be in a great mood which is refreshing to see. I like watching them make my salad from the glass. The salads are a little pricey but when you compare what you get, you are breaking even. They have plenty of seating options inside and options to sit outside. I ordered the Black Cherry fountain drink which has no artificial sweeteners, no high fructose corn syrup, and are made with natural flavors. I have had the caramels from the register area and they are always so good.

    This place is very good, the salad is fresh and it's good to have a quick place to eat healthy among all the cafes and restaurants around Tempe Marketplace. It's a quick and very casual place to eat, everything is decent, simple and made to order at the counter. I would recommend it as healthy alternative to fast food in the area. Thumbs up!

    First Visit At This Location First Impressions Mad Greens has been very consistent with how they do things. Very friendly staff. I love the location. Crazy Ivan with creamy ginger dressing worth it. Mexicane cola very good. Their Maine Root Beer dispenser not working. I'm so glad Mad Greens made their way all the way to Tempe Marketplace.

    Great tasting healthy food. Even the bread is good. Clean and friendly restaurant. The cashiers are very knowledgeable and give good advice. They will make your food the way you want.

    Pancho Villa plus pickled onions...soooo yummy! I need to try to duplicate this at home. My new favorite salad!

    YUM! Fresh, made to order salads / bowls. Quick, Fast Food that is fresh and healthy (depending on what you opt for). I would totally be here more often if I lived in the area. Great options and you can build your own too. So get creative if you like... mind you they charge for toppings so it's not like you want to get too crazy as it does add up. I went with their Pancho Villa and was super happy with my selection. This Tempe location has a dining area with probably about 16 4-tops so you can definitely eat-in and enjoy a meal with friends or family. Casual and easy.

    We came here for lunch because of the positive reviews and are so happy we came here! I had the Cobb salad and my husband had the spicy bacon bowl. Both were delicious. Once you order, you watch your salad/wrap/bowl being prepared. Our server confirmed every item to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. I didn't want onions on my salad and so got a free exchange for another item. The portions are generous and the ingredients fresh. We were treated to the garlic and red pepper hummus with pita bread platter. What a yummy and splendid surprise!! The service was efficient and friendly!! We will be back.

    Ty Cobb Salad

    Great healthy options for lunch or dinner. They offer online ordering and delivery, and also have a rewards program. I have been to the location downtown, for lunch a few times, but have mostly visited the Tempe location for a quick dinner option, a few times a month. I have ordered grain bowls, salads, and their mac bowls, and have not been disappointed. I really like their choice of salad dressings, quite a few are vegan and gluten free. I get a few different dressings on the side for lunch salads for the week. My favorites are the Creamy Ginger, Cilantro Chili Lime, Chipotle Caesar, and their Honey Mustard. I order to go, and the orders are always complete and correct, and ready when promised. The ingredients are fresh, tasty, and they're always consistent.

    Met up with the family at Tempe Marketplace, we were early for a birthday celebration so we all wanted to grab something to eat while waiting on time to fly, so after checking out what was all there to offer I knew I was more interested in getting a salad so off to Mad Greens I went. After checking out the menu I went with the Don Quixote Salad, it had a bed of mixed greens, southwestern chicken, mango, roasted corn, avocado, jack cheese with a creamy ginger dressing. The combinations of these favors were delish. This was a great tasting salad. I like that we are starting to have more of "fast casual" salad places to choose from because not everyone wants a hamburger or pizza. If looking for a tasty fresh salad go give them a try!

    Southwest bowl
    Stephanie L.

    I've only had Mad Greens once before but I remember it being a good experience! Although the salad was pricier ($10 regular, $11 big), I was willing to pay it because the chicken was really good unlike my favorite salad place. Last night I decided to order a Southwest bowl thinking it'd be a healthier Chipotle style bowl. We ordered online and the only customizations I made were asking for the dressing on the side and for an extra dressing. Upon picking it up, it was neatly packaged; the container has a spot for the dressing built in! My extra dressing was also included, for no additional charge. As soon as I opened it however, I was confused. There was NO chicken to be found. I looked at my receipt to see if I had accidentally omitted the chicken; I had not. I essentially had a bowl of wild rice with 6-7 scarce pieces of spinach for $10.95. Not pleased, especially when I chose to order from Mad Greens because their chicken is so good. Bf ordered a big Ty Cobb salad for $11.40 and his chicken was scarce that he could barely spare any for me. If you're looking for a Chipotle style bowl/rice/protein bowl, skip Mad Greens; there are cheaper, better options. Stick to the salads if you order Mad Greens, and maybe order in person to see how much chicken you get.

    Crazy Ivan
    Tara A.

    We have been to this spot a few times now, and one of my favorite salads to order is their "Crazy Ivan." The husband loves and usually opts for the Cobb Salad if available. I love the Mad Spice they have! Not too spicy, but pretty flavorful. I always request the "spiced" toppings if possible. The toddler requested mac and cheese, and it looked well put together, just not your typical run of the mill mac and cheese kid's experience; they have a unique / fresh take on it, and hey, if that's not your thing, that's totally okay. Their soda selection is nice - they have some different options to choose from that you usually don't see anywhere else i.e. cola with cane sugar, and etc. Their food quality is pretty good and the spot for this location is pretty convenient. Friendly staff too, of course. Will definitely keep coming back.

My friends and I came to this place together because I had been before and liked the Korean food here. Food was legit and was a good experience previously. However, the day we came in, the waitress got my friend's order wrong as my friend wanted the bibimbap but the waitress heard something else and brought out a soup. When my friend immediately told her that isnt what she ordered, the waitress (new) proceeded to argue with my friend. I watched incredulously as things started to unfold. The waitress even asked my friend to pronounce bimbimpap again and told her she should learn how to pronounce it better. She kept arguing wirh my friend and mind you, waitess wasnt Korean or Korean American. At this point, I had to step in, as I also heard my friend say bibimbap clearly. The waitress didnt know what she was talking about and at the same time was being rude as heck to my friend. Then, my other friend shows up and orders a bibimpap. When the bibimpap is brought out, I asked her to bring some gochujang for my friend. I didnt know if my friend would like this chili paste, so wanted her to have the option to try it. The waitress again decided to argue about this and at this point, she was really testing my nerve. She said bibimpap doesn't come with gochujang and I am like thinking are you crazy, woman? I am not Korean but I have been eating Korean food for 30+ years, I know what I am talking about. She then asked me to repeat gochujang several times and I was very annoyed at this point. Its like, look lady, you dont know what youre talking about, stop sticking your foot in your mouth and come on, be nice to your customers! Because of this terrible behavior, I asked to speak to a manager, a woman came over and listened to what happened and apologized and thats how we found out she was new. I was beyond frustrated at this point. Despite the horrible service, I still left a 10% tip, but honestly the waitress deserves zilch and needed more training. The food is solid here but I wont be returning with that kind of behavior, I can choose where my money goes, and these days with it being so hard to get by, good luck to this place as I am not coming back.

The third-party driver called to offer substitutions, which I appreciate, but it's still disappointing. And to top it off, they forgot the vegetables in my masala padpam.

However, that means I can speak to what's probably their busiest time of the day. The line was long, and there was a sign at the door that offers a discount if you order ahead online. We started to try, but we both wanted to ask questions about menu items so decided to stay in line. There's two areas in the small location, which you could consider more like a food stand that has an indoor area to order. It's VERY small. When you walk in, you're in line to order off the curated menu. If you want to build your own, you don't pay until after, but you have to leave the line and visit the Build Your Own area further into the space. I asked the girl at the register which sauces had dairy in them, and she gave me a wrong answer (per what the man at the BYO counter clarified later, and he gave me the impression he was an owner or manager). It was chaos in there - they were keeping tabs of orders by sticky note and word of mouth at the same time, and when my BYO bowl was done nobody would have noticed if I just walked out without paying. Obviously I paid, but I was concerned for them being that they're on a college campus and students can be reckless. We added those coconut/date energy ball things and sat outside in back. Our bowls were fine and it's definitely a solid cleaner food option - a great thing to have on campus - I would have loved this if I were still in school. The man who I think is an owner or manager actually came out back while we were eating, apologized to every group individually for the wait, and asked how the food is. THAT is why I'm giving this place four stars. I really appreciated the acknowledgement of the craziness and him being so personal with each table, and it ultimately made me happy to return (not during a lunch rush, though. Lol) If I remember correctly, the owners are former students and full of nutritionists/entrepreneurs and I love the concept. Keep going!

    If you are a fan of clean eating with hearty, filling and satisfying food, Bodhi is a place you…read morewant to check out. This was my second time here and I will say that I enjoy this place. The Mother Earth bowl, inclusive of organic quinoa, onion, sweet potato, mushroom, red pepper, spinach, cucumber and pesto, was $9.45. I ordered this bowl off of the menu but if you don't like any of the options, you can make your own bowl! Overall, my food was great! For an extra two dollars, they offered a deal where you can get one of their fresh pressed juices. That certainly completed the meal! I like the food because it has just enough flavor without it being overwhelming or over powering. The only thing I would note that is not as positive is the fact that the Brussels sprouts were a little mushy and salty. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The place is clean and the employees are super nice, friendly and will always give me a little extra food! This place is located on College Ave near the ASU campus. I think the value for what you get is pretty good compared to some other places around the area. I do forget about this place since it's a little farther down College Ave but when I do remember, I never regret my decision!
