The salads were super flavorful and delish, everything tasted fresh, and the service was quick. Love that the food is made to order too. One thing I'd suggest... order one of the Specialty Salads and just add extra ingredients if you want more. Doing the "Make Your Own" option can end up costing a lot more. Definitely coming back again!

The restaurant itself was very clean, bright, and well-maintained, and the space just felt fresh and inviting. We tried a mix of dishes including the Green Goddess Salad, Thai Peanut Salad, Greek Salad, Roasted Vegetables Salad, and the Santa Fe Wrap. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portions were great for a meal that feels light but still filling. The Green Goddess dressing was honestly the standout for me, super creamy, flavorful, and so good. Overall, such a solid option when you are craving something fresh and lighter. Definitely a place I would come back to.

Wowowow Kala lived up to all the hype I've heard about it!…read more I ordered from door dash & it was still good when it got to my apartment. The grilled veggies and shrimp were soooo good but the frozen greek yogurt stole the show. IT WAS SO GOOD. This was not fake frozen yogurt like froyo. This was legit frozen yogurt. Perfectly tart and creamy and not super sweet at all. The cherries and pistachios on top were amazing and added a saltiness that went great with the yogurt. Cannot wait to order from here again

Best Greek spot in town!…read more The food is so flavorful and delicious. We started off with the zucchini and it was paired with feta and I believe a yogurt sauce. You order on your phone online and they bring the food to your table and the water glasses are self service. Our food came out fairly quick. I ordered the shrimp bowl with half salad and half rice and it was delicious. Everything tasted very fresh and the sauces paired perfectly with the shrimp. We grabbed a quick dinner before heading to the Cubs game and we left very satisfied. Will be coming back here the next time I'm in town!

It seems like they were short staffed because I only saw two people working the line. With the understanding of how busy it was, I wasn't too pressed about timing.

Something happened between photos of sizable round bowls overflowing with gorgeous salads and the…read moretiny lunchables-size box of boring salad bits and chicken sold as "Mezza Crunch." Nothing was crunchy or made me feel the price was worth the nearly $15 I paid. The word mezza does mean small bites, but this is ridiculous. I'm looking around at other diners and what they're eating, and yeah...I got fooled big time. They need photos by each meal so I can decide just how tragic their little salads are for the amount of money they want for each. Nice clean place, though.

This place was a very happy find! In the area, with a large group, looking for a pizza spot and…read moresome of us didn't want pizza and this literally was across the street. We bopped in and little to our surprise, it was the best decision we made all day. I got the shawarma bowl with gryo and the garlic sauce fries and wow, everything was to die for. I wish I wasn't just visiting Chicago so this place was more accessible to me everyday. But I fear i'd go broke if this was in my city. This is a great quick lunch option especially if visiting the zoo/park/beach area. Everything felt light, fresh, and healthy. It felt a little pricey for me but it's Chicago so it may be normal so take that as you will but for how delicious and the amazing ingredients it's worth it. Especially that dang pink sauce on the fries....you've got to get the garlic sauce fries if you check this place out. Some of the most beautiful and tasty fries i've ever had! The atmosphere is cute and bright too. A happy place to eat lunch and hang out in! I'm not from Chicago so i'm already missing this place! Add to your "must try" list for sure!

Bar service can get a little backed up depending on how crowded the place is...one time I was there, the bar was so crowded that I couldn't flag down a server long enough to place a food order so, before I left, I placed my food order to go using the mobile route. Whatever, I didn't care. I'm pretty chill. Anyway, burger was still good when I walked it back to my hotel. When the place isn't slammed, service is like night and day and the place is a bit more quiet. Pop on in if you want to try some good beer, a tasty burger or other pub fare.

Not the most exciting or incredible meal, but a solid option.

(Kari's Rating 9.25/10)…read more This is one of my favorite salad chains, and I'm also including everything from Cava to Freshii. What is 63 it's a little bit a criminal that my salad ends up being like $25 every time, but I do get two meals out of it. I like to say that this location is nice because it's not in the loop so people that are working from home can you come here and it's not too busy. My only complaint is sometimes if you do order from the mobile app the portions are much smaller. I always get the modified Shroomami and I do quinoa instead of the purple rice. The river rice isn't bad, but sometimes it's a little bit overcooked and soggy. It does depend on what time of day you go to this location how fresh everything is, so if you care about that, I would go sooner than later. To save myself some money, sometimes I bring my own tomatoes from home, so it doesn't count as a topping. But, overall, I do like this location compared to most!
