The wife and I took advantage of our T-MOBILE Tuesday perk of 1 free entre. I got the New Yorker and the wife got the Club sandwich. Both were. Good. Freshly made. Customer service good even though they were being overwhelmed with tmobile customers. I will definitely go back and believe the New Yorker will be my go-to.. pastrami and cornbread with Swiss cheese on marble rye

Ny peach cheesecake

Deli type counter service. Menu consists of the popular drink sandwiches and baked potato options along with a few side and soups. Friendly service. The sweet teas and lemonade is SUPER sweet.

​I really want to love this Salata location because the food is consistently fresh and delicious,…read morebut there are two major things holding it back from being a regular go-to for me. ​First, for a modern dining space, it's disappointing that there is no Wi-Fi available for customers. In a world where many of us are looking for healthy alternatives to coffee shops to get some work or school tasks done while we eat, not having connectivity is a huge letdown. This environment has so much potential to be a great "dine and work" spot, but until they prioritize staying connected, it's just a quick "in and out" place. ​Second, the service flow could use some serious improvement. If you happen to get stuck behind someone placing a large family order, the line ends up going out the door. It seems like they need a better system or more staff during peak hours to handle those bigger orders without bottlenecking the entire experience for everyone else. ​I'll keep coming back for the salads, but I'd love to see this location evolve into a more business- and student-friendly environment!

Trying to start the year off right, I had a taste for a salad. Off to Salata I go. Their app and…read morewebsite was acting wonky so I just drove there to order. No lines and everything was fresh and fully stocked. I ordered a wrap with pesto chicken and shrimp, a bowl of chicken tortilla soup and a chocolate chip cookie. I always forget but they have the best teas. I didn't get any today. Lucky me, I had reward points that I happily used. The wrap was delicious, full and I don't know why I thought I would eat it all. I finished half the wrap and saved the other half, pita chips and soup for tomorrow.

First time dining here and overall we enjoyed it. Wife and I met a friend for lunch and each got…read morethe small size salad which is actually quite large. We found the staff to be attentive and they did an overall great job of adding things to our salad bowl we asked for, even adding some more of an ingredient if it was something we really liked. My wife pretty much got a straight up vegetable salad with a big mix of ingredients. I opted for a more "healthy" one with the addition of kale and spinach, garbanzo beans, feta and at the end I paid the upcharge for half an avocado and a salmon fillet. We were quite satisfied, I kind of felt my salmon was a little overcooked and dry but they probably do that so it keep well and appeals to a larger group of customers as rare cooked fish is not always desired. While there, I used the restrooms which were clean and shiny. Overall we felt the entire restaurant was spotless and kept very clean. The only thing I would fault them on is that the surfaces of their tables show a lot of wear, probably from the metal bowls the salads are served in. They really need to upgrade all the tables with new ones in my opinion. For that and the dry salmon I give them 4 stars out of 5!

The food is way overpriced. The service is a line buffet style which was OK. I just can't pay…read moredouble digits for a salad can't bring myself to do it again.

I had a coupon for a free 6 piece tender nugget box and decided to redeem it for an early dinner…read more The coupon required me to dine in which and while it was fairly empty inside, yet still relatively busy. The staff were really nice. They actually helped each other out when they had questions and to make sure that everything was done from working the line, serving customers and tidying up the location. I enjoyed my meal. The food was fresh and hot, I had to wait for it to cool before eating. The chicken tasted great and truly tender. I chose country gravy as my dipping sauce and it was good. It was a lot of food for one sitting, so I didn't finish everything - I chose to not eat all the toast, which wasn't the best tasting item. It was clearly made according to my order. I liked the speed of service, quality and freshness of the food. This would be higher on my go-to fast food options in the area. Especially given the desserts they offer.

What I really enjoy about slim chickens is that their chicken is always fresh and seasoned! I've…read morenever had a bland piece here. I would give it a 5 but a few times i've come the chicken wasn't tender but again flavor was there. Even the bread that is served with the combos has such a tasty garlic butter on it. What elevates their food in my opinion is their large variety of homemade sauces! My favorites are the honey mustard, honey bbq sauce and cayenne ranch. Probably my favorite thing served here is the strawberry cheesecake jar! Just get it, you will looovvveee it!!! Overall i'd recommend and am hoping to try new items here!

My wife, my son, and I were driving back from a trip to Livingston when my wife suggested Chicken Salad Chick. At first I thought, "Only chicken salad?" But she started listing the options- buffalo chicken salad, barbecue chicken salad, chicken salad with apples and grapes, plus pimento cheese. So, I figured it was worth a try. The restaurant has a trendy, down-home vibe, kind of like being at a cool aunt's house. The girl at the counter was great and very helpful with ordering, and I like fast-casual places that bring the food out to your table. I ordered a Dixie Chick chicken salad sandwich with macaroni and spicy pimento cheese. My wife got the Classic Carol on a croissant with broccoli soup and grape salad, and my son ordered the turkey club with macaroni and a side of buffalo chicken salad. The chicken salads were fresh and tasty. The Dixie Chick and the pimento cheese were my favorites. The macaroni was a bit of a letdown, not bad, just nothing special. The other standouts were the broccoli soup and the grape salad. The Classic Carol was good but a little plain for my taste. I also tried the red velvet cake, which was really good with excellent cream cheese frosting. Overall I'd recommend it, especially if you want something different from the usual fried chicken spots.

Since this place opened, I've been anxious & eager to try it! We got there early in the morning…read moresince we did not want to get the breakfast-hungry bunch. Although it was early, this place filled up quickly. I loved the assortment of items provided on the menu. I went with my sweet tooth and ordered the blueberry lemon pancakes; which were decadent and rich in taste. Hubby ordered the breakfast croissant which was tasty (7/10). The potato mix was savory yet small in size; I couldn't help taking a couple of his bites! :3 Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 9/10 (just because there is no waiting area of any sort & the place is SMALL.)

The restaurant isn't that big its holds I believe 70 ppl. So not a large establishment. I started my breakfast with a chai latte and then I ordered the French toast. I believe it was a combo. Which it came with three slices of French toast two eggs and I did the two bacon and one sausage. Overall, the breakfast was really good. I feel my breakfast was pretty simple so it's really not much I can go off the sausage. It's really good. But my chai latte was amazing. I ordered that with extra caramel and it was a solid five out of five it was made to perfection. Now the ambience of the inside was nice and clean and photo ready. Our waitress was pretty nice. Will I return? Yes, I will.

Yet another disappointing ramen spot in Kingwood/Humble sadly…read more Server took about 10 minutes to greet us and then seemed completely uninterested the entire exchange. Never once refilled our drinks. Food was incredibly mid. I highly suspect they may use packaged ramen noodles. Served with wooden spoons that are falling apart. The restaurant itself is cute; but unfortunately it just wasn't a good experience, especially for the price. They have copycat Jinya recipes, but Jinya definitely does them better.

I've now been to Kami Ramen & Sushi about 5+ times. One of my favorite things about this place is…read morethe interior. It has a lot of cool Japanese style decorations / wall art, and they're usually showing Pokémon on tv! The inside is very pretty / appealing to me, and it had a nice chill vibe. I will take more pictures next time. The service has always been overall solid, but my fiancée and I's favorite waitress is named Jennifer I believe. She's very sweet and attentive. We made it a point to ask her name last time we went(and somehow I'm iffy if I got it right). We were being served by a waiter who honestly was kinda meh, and then Jennifer saw us and greeted us. She then went to tell him to get us water, and I then just asked her if she could tend to us instead. She's great and we will always ask for her anytime we go moving forward. Onto the main subject: the food! I've ordered multiple different items here, but I'll start with the appetizers. I've tried the Brussels sprouts tempura, which were just ok to both my wife and I. It seemed like it was plain unseasoned Brussels sprouts fried lol. We've also had the fried shrimp shumai which was solid to me, but the Mrs said it was too fishy. Ramen: I've had the tonkotsu black (pork) multiple times, the spicy shrimp ramen, the Kami Goyu (sliced NY Strip) and the spicy chicken ramen. I really like all of the broths and noodles, but I feel like the pork, chicken, steak and shrimp proteins could improve. The pork seems really fatty / chewy but not in the way I'm used to. My wife doesn't care for it either. The chicken is like a thinly sliced chicken breast and seemed like it was cooked separately then dumped into the broth last second. The Mrs says it reminds her of a plain Costco chicken. I still ate this more the the pork, and pork is my usual go to. The shrimp was ok to me, and I'm not really sure how I'd describe it but I ate it all. I don't think I'd order the Kami Goyu again as I did not care for the steak, but I did eat it since I don't like wasting food. I think the spicy chicken ramen may be my favorite overall. My absolute favorite thing here though, is the Akuma roll. All I can say is I love it, and I'll be ordering it everytime I go. It is a raw sushi roll. All in all, I know we'll be back! Note: you can try 2 different types of ramen if you order the yin yang ramen, minus their lobster ramen.
