This Salata is situated at the downtown Los Angeles within the AMCOM high-rise building (underground floor). You can select what you want among many choices, including 7 different sauces. Staff there are freindly. I will go back again shortly for healthy lunch. Parking might be your headache. Most patrons are working nearby. read more

This place is so good! You'll be full with a small salad! The restaurant was spacious and clean! The staff is always so friendly When you walked in, there's all kinds of toppings to make whatever you desire. Some items like the meat and avocado are available for additional money. You gotta have their croutons! Such an excellent choice to stop by if you want a healthy lunch/dinner option! read more

Salata - Inside - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm a huge fan of getting my salads and wraps made here. The ingredients are fresh, and your food is prepared to your taste right in front of you. read more

I really enjoy Salata! It is my go-to spot when I want to grab something quick and easy for lunch. Since it is within walking distance from my job, it's just a brief walk down the street to get there. They have a nice range of selections to make your salad as full of stuff as you'd like. The price to have lunch downtown has increased over the years, with salads here being on the high side, but I'd make the occasional sacrifice. Recently, Salata had a price hike, and salads with meat are nearly $20 now ($19.69 to be exact). The price has severely decreased my visits here. I just can't justify spending this exorbitant amount on a salad when there are nearby locations with salads that are less. read more

Where did it go?????? It left Granada Hills! The food is great, I love this place and so sad to have it missing!

A Hair Inside My Salad I'm very disappointed, i really would recommend this place if they were cleaner and if those girls who are working there were a little nicer with their customers, specially regular customers such as me and my friends !If I could I wouldn't even give this plant even one star! Salata was our favorite place but not anymore! 1st because of these girls Specially Kassandra that acts super rude! And keeps Empty the half of my order that I pay for and argues over it with me ! I told her I'm paying for that please fill it up n she is says : this is what it is!!! And second it's because the last time I found this Hair in my salad ! A long dark hair ! I'm not going there anymore ! I hope the owner care a little more! I tried to call the manager so I wouldn't write a review but apparently the number that Kassandra gave me was a wrong number!!! read more

Build your own salad/wrap shop. Since this was a Mealpal stop, I had a prix fixe meal of a Thai Crunch Wrap W/ Pita Chips. Unfortunately the flavors were underwhelming, deserving of 2 stars. I went ahead with the 3 stars (A-OK) , as it looked like a good place, and I know I could have built my own wrap that would have been tastier. I would return. Note: This was part of my MealPal experience. Check out my Mealpal DTLA collection of you want to follow along. If you are scratching your head about MealPal...google it.

Salata - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Build your own salad! Honestly if you don't like it, that's on you lol. Everything tasted pretty fresh and there's a LOT of options. Honestly I got chicken added and I don't think that was necessary. Made it too expensive. read more

I moved to LA 4 years ago from DC where Sweetgreen was really popular. I was SO STOKED when they started opening up out here! ... but then I discovered Salata. It truly puts Sweetgreen AND Tender Greens to shame! I come to this location every Friday. I've done both in-store and online orders. While the line can be quite long around noon every day, it always moves quickly. I appreciate that the quality and quantity of the salads doesn't vary at all when ordering online vs in person. One TIP, however - in person, you can ask for a delish croissant and it's free with your salad. An extra one is $1. Butttt, when ordering online, you're asked if you want tortilla strips OR the croissant. This is odd because in person, the tortilla strips are one of the endless, unlimited toppings you can choose from, not a side item that you only get one free one of like the bread. I like my strips mixed in when I order in store, so to still get both items online, select the strips to be mixed into your salad, then ask for the bread when you go to pickup the order. :) What makes this place the best is the fact that only meat and avocado are extra. Most other build-your-own places literally charge extra for EVERYTHING. Like at Sweetgreen, you're limited to 3-4 toppings and cheese and egg are extra. Here, there is NO CAP on how many toppings you get for free, which even includes freshly-cooked bacon bits! I workout almost every day, so a salad typically doesn't fill me up for too long. Not only does this salad truly hold me over for at least 6 hours, but the serving size is HUGE. I get most of the toppings + avocado + spicy chicken, and I swear the container weighs like 3 lbs lol. read more

Salata - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I came by for lunch one day for the first time and the lady behind the counter walked me through how everything works. They have a wide variety of greens to choose from as well as toppings. The meats are extra and for chicken it was about $4.50 for a small scoop. They also have plenty of dressings to choose from. I went for a pita wrap instead of a salad tray and the total of my order came out to roughly $16 which is pretty steep. My wrap was decent, but for the price tag, not so much. read more

Salata - Pita wrap with baked pita chips - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Recommended if all you want is a straightforward salad with a vast selection of good quality add-ins. Decide on the size: large or small, pick your greens mix then let your pointing finger do the talking for whatever else you want in there. You can add as much or little as you desire and the up-charges for seafood and avocado are reasonable. You are in and out relatively quick. Order online if you're really looking to maximize efficiency. read more

Salata - I love to double my avocado count. It make the wrap so much more creamy! It's a game changer! - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Another one of the ubiquitous build-your-own salad places in downtown. The regular sized salad is $9, and adding a protein is about $3-4. I sometimes just load up my salad with hearty veggies and forego the additional protein. This time around, I got spring mix with extra spinach, tomato, cucumber, carrot, broccoli, snap peas, beets, green olives, edamame, garbanzo beans, feta cheese, pita chips, sliced almonds, pepitas seeds, with honey mustard dressing. The dressing is creamier than most honey mustard dressings, so it's heartier and feels more substantial. The salad comes with a multigrain roll on the side as well. Since you get to build your own salad here, the choices and combination are almost endless. I also like that their plastic forks look metallic, so you feel a little bit more fancy when eating lunch, and who doesn't like to feel fancy once in a while? :) read more

At first I wasn't a fan of the concept of making your own salad; the process that is (ie., telling them what you want, especially when it's your first time & you have no clue how it goes), but I finally got it down & now go thru it a lot faster. With that said, I do like that they have unlimited toppings - what they consider "non-protein" items; other places (Tender greens, Sweetgreen, etc) give you only 4 free choices & even then, they're so ridiculous with charging extra for boiled egg & what not. Simply Salad is also good, but they tend to over chop the greens a bit too much. Anyhow, that is why I like Salata the most. You get a fresh take on salad choices, fresh greens & toppings, dressing, etc & you even get complimentary bread of your choice. Price isn't too bad, but it can go up to $15 if you get more than one protein item and a drink. Lines can be long, try to go extra early before it starts or after lunch which is very doable at 12:30ish. You have the area outside (underground) that you can sit without being in the hot sun. The only thing that makes the experience (for me) not 5 star worthy (here we go......) I have to agree w/some of the other reviewers when they mention the service, the "chintzy-ness" of portions of toppings - sure you get a lot of lettuce, it's cheap for them, and some of the ladies that work there are awkward to deal with (to put it politely & lightly) I always have to repeat myself, some of the ladies do appear to be either rude or sarcastic (& even snickering at the customers behind or in front of them) But, this is the closest location to our office and so just put up with their lack of customer service skills to get what you want and get going. I'm so glad my new Supervisor took me there, she's a beautiful fit & health conscious being and i just love her choices, this was one of them :) read more

Salata - So many choices :) - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I am a huge fan of Salata, and I use to frequent when I was working out of the valley, so hearing about the one downtown got me very excited. I have been meaning to head to this location for ages and I'm so glad I finally had. They still have the same great options, the fresh veggies, hot soups and tasty drinks. The location is small, and is meant for a quick pick up, but there is plenty of seating outside. This location closes at 3, probably due to the fact that they cater to business employees downtown. Only reason why I don't give Salata a 5 star rating is because it's a little too expensive with the protein add ins, but still a great treat. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Salata is in the shopping center under the California twin towers on Grand Ave. The premises are very clean and well organized. I had a large salad with alot of add ons including salmon, crabmeat, shrimp, Edamame, onions, artichoke hearts...whew...alot of delicious stuff! I had a broccoli soup with that and pb, choc cookies. The salad was phenomenal. Ingredients are super fresh, delicious and even though I was starving; I had to set aside some for another meal with such a large salad full of my favorite meats. The Broccoli soup was also superb and piping hot. The cookies were chewy and excellent as well. Service is very fast- I was done in about 7 minutes and they are very popular. This was my first time at a Salata and my verdict is best salad and soup bar lunch in DTLA. Keep up the great work Salata team. read more

Salata - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hands down best service ever! I don't understand the 3 or 1 star rating, because this place is pretty awesome. Think of this salad bar as pieology for salads. They have 3 sizes, I got the $9 one which is the largest. They give you plentiful of leaves and toppings. Don't be afraid to put ALL the toppings in! The protein is additional charge, ranging from $3.50-5.50. I got the baked tofu and they give you a good amount. The produce is crips, vibrant, and fresh. But what I really wanted to point out is the customer service. I wish I had gotten her name - she's a tiny, Hispanic lady and I'm pretty sure she's one of the seniors there. She saw my hoodie and asked me if I went to the Colburn and I said yes. Then she started talking about her niece and how she loves to ballet and such. She was ringing me up as I was talking to her and getting a cookie and she told me the cookie is on the house! Again, great salad bar: fresh veggies, inexpensive, great customer service. You can tell this place has regulars, since the servers know them by name. This will be a regular spot for me! read more

Salata - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Salata is one of those salad places that will gouge you for every little thing and then make you feel bad for asking for a little bit more of something that probably costs them five cents. I've been here a couple of times, but for the price of the salads, I would rather go to Mixt or Mendo for my fix. Their regular salad costs about $9, and you can choose from different greens--their spring mix, spinach, etc... Then you have your typical veggies and a variety of protein--tofu, shrimp, bbq chicken, pesto chicken, and more (for an extra $3.50+). Their staff is generally nice, but they usually give you a pinch of everything. You want tomatoes? Okay, here are 3 1/5 cuts of a tomato. Corn? Here are 5 kernels. Want more? Sure, here's a dirty look along with that. Based on their stinginess, I do not understand how this place is still going. read more

To be honest, this place would be an herbivore's dream. $8 for a veggie salad (add $3 for protein) with unlimited vegetables immediately hooked me. Albeit the servers are a bit stingy when it comes to your base lettuce and toppings, but it doesn't hurt to ask for more. Wide selection of dressings and toppings as well. My personal favorite is the Herb Vinaigrette. Which actually is the only dressing I've got there...but I'm sure the others taste fine. Service is nothing special but what do you expect? They're trying to get through the lunch rush and serve as many people as they can. I'm sure over time this place is going to get even stricter with their portions due to the high LA rent and the competition, but I'm reluctant to see if things improve. read more

Salata - Kale and Spring Mix base with a ton of vegetables (to be honest I really don't remember which ones I put) - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's just an okay location. Service could be a bit nicer and place could be a bit cleanlier. I've noticed that when the manager isn't there, the workers change the radio station to their own preferences and it sort of throws off the vibe. Super weird and sort of unprofessional. read more

My 2nd visit: free salad + iced tea promotion! I got spinach+spring mix, bow-tie pasta, sundried tomato, chickpeas, black olives, green peas, corn, carrot, tomato, croutons, radish, mandarin orange, green apple, red grapes, strawberries, jicama, black beans, dried cranberry, walnut, sliced almonds, walnut crumbs; sundried tomato dressing (next time i'll just get olive oil). All that would have been a $8 salad. Score! ------------ Salata is a great healthy addition to the somewhat-dead California One Plaza. I think it is a Texan-chain with a second outpost in Downtown LA. This place replaces Salads 2000, next to Dan's Deli. Opens 10:30-3pm Monday to Friday Though there are wraps and soups, the made-to-your-liking salad is the thing to get here. $8 (tax included) for all you ever want in a salad. It's not by weight, so load up! Start with picking a salad leaf mix or mix it up and get a bit of all 4 if you want. Labels clearly mark your options. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/salata-los-angeles-3?select=Aq3oVd1yJJDtZKYw1GoOKw#1ov6h58Rx02GDfb8ypEbKg Next are 24 choices of most things you can think of (tomatos, peppers, radish slices, carrrots, corn, bell peppers, etc. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/salata-los-angeles-3?select=Aq3oVd1yJJDtZKYw1GoOKw#hbeTN4v_cOWx3g2YO5s3mA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/salata-los-angeles-3?select=Aq3oVd1yJJDtZKYw1GoOKw#uMN7y15K1a9lw5pdNF2y_A Then, you move down the line and have another 16 choices of nuts, fruits, dried fruits, cheese, egg, tofu, etc to add on. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/salata-los-angeles-3?select=Aq3oVd1yJJDtZKYw1GoOKw#1NH_d3JWCFcrnQbsYlqsQQ Scoot down and pick a dressing, and only 1 because choosing all 10 would make it weird. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/salata-los-angeles-3?select=Aq3oVd1yJJDtZKYw1GoOKw#ceuDON10tlhADGbhQJBUBA Proteins - I believe are add $2 for various kinds of chicken and $3 for seafood http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/salata-los-angeles-3?select=Aq3oVd1yJJDtZKYw1GoOKw#zogO-JfDHAgVlQACtytHPg Don't be a chump like me and forgot the free bread. it is included! 5 choices. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/salata-los-angeles-3?select=Aq3oVd1yJJDtZKYw1GoOKw#FZJBB4Mtg3akx5vY3viylg Add some crunchies like croutons, sesame sticks or pita chips (not pictured). Then you pay. Drinks are behind you - bottles and fountain. So simple. Oh, there's a Greek Yogurt bar too (8am - 3pm M-F). http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/salata-los-angeles-3?select=Aq3oVd1yJJDtZKYw1GoOKw#U1Equzj3xDAq3bC1JV4urg I got: Spring greens mix (red leaf, green leaf, red cabbage, arugula), carrots, corn, tomato, green peas black beans, chickpeas, black olives, jicama, radishes, mandarin oranges, strawberries, grapes, egg, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds and sesame sticks, with a ginger lime dressing. Each bite is deliciously different! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/salata-los-angeles-3?select=Aq3oVd1yJJDtZKYw1GoOKw#_pD1VhR8D_o5LuZLcjx83g The decor is so-so but you're only in there for about 5 minutes. Wraps are $7 (+$1 or $2 for chicken or seafood). Soups are $3 for a cup, $4 for a bowl. For the salad wrap, you go through the line picking your ingredients, then you choose one of 8 or so fancy tortillas (I saw a thai ginger tortilla), the heat it up, stuff your bowl of stuff in it, slice in half and in the clamshell they go. Mendocino Farms is the only other good option down here at Cal One. The line at Salata moves quickly. $8 for a large-and-filling salad in a 7 inch x 8 inch clamshell box - healthy and awesome. Where Salads2000 failed was that they charge by weight, whereas here, it's $8 inclusive. I think this place will do well! read more

Salata - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

BLAND. I'm surprised there is always a line out the door. The concept of creating your own salad is definitely the pulling factor. Good greens and a nice selection of add-ins but it just didn't do it for me. The had my salad with ranch dressing, not light ranch, just ranch and it tasted like watered down super light ranch. It just added moisture to my salad so it's not so raw. I know, how can I judge salads, well I do because I've had some amazing salads and this wasn't one of them. On the other hand... The pricklypear lemonade was SO GOOD. I'll only come here to quench my thirst and not satisfy my hunger. Until the bite... read more

Tbh I'm not a huge fan of salad. Actually, I NEVER eat salad, but for some odd reason, I was hella craving a salad one day and my co worker recommended me this place. It's like the chipotle for salads! There are so many options, and it can be a bit overwhelming... Me not being a huge salad eater, I had no clue what to put in my salad. Like will corn taste good with my salad? What about this dressing? The staff were nice and allowed me to sample the dressing and protein before choosing. Overall, I just picked whatever I liked and prayed that my salad would taste good... and it did!!! It was one of the best salads I've ever had!! The price is a bit expensive for a salad (~$13 for a large salad), but I will definitely be coming again the next time I'm craving a salad. read more

Great idea, but pricy with so-so service. The good: amazing selection (lots of veggies, some fruit, and some nuts & seeds), fresh-looking produce, looks clean, relatively fast. The not so good: staff isn't vegan savvy (surprising at a place that only serves salads), the expensive iced tea was brewed way too long (not yummy at all when the cinnamon takes over the flavor), and the staff wasn't very friendly (maybe a bad day, I'll give them another chance). read more

Salata - Southwest wrap - Salad Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Your salad is as good as you make it so choose wisely. Salads come in two sizes, regular ($9) or small ($8), plus a wrap option ($8). They have a wide selection of toppings that includes hard boiled egg and bacon at no extra charge which is a clear winner for those on keto. If you're not sure about your dressing, ask for a sample. My Keto Pick: Spring mix, cucumber, mushroom, both types of olives, feta, blue cheese, extra egg, extra bacon, sun dried tomato, and ranch on the side. You can't go wrong with most of the toppings sans corn, beet, and fruit. read more

Really disappointed in this place. I use to come here when it was salads 2000, and i was hoping this place would be similar. To start off, let me say that the ingredients and the flavors are all very good, so no complaint there. However my problem is with the service. I appreciate the need to be speedy given the line, but the workers are rushing so fast that they barely take the time to listen to what you're saying. The restaurant works conveyor belt style where each station has certain toppings and after that worker finishes they pass your salad along. After putting dressing on my salad she asked me if that was enough, and I said maybe a tiny bit more. Instead of putting a tiny bit more she dumps the entire ladle onto my salad and passed me on to the next person. I then ask the next person if they could spoon off a tiny bit before mixing it so it's not drenched, and they proceed to take tongs and throw the top of my salad into the trash. So I guess that solved the dressing problem but there goes my toppings. I hate to make a big deal over some dressing but for a 13 dollar salad I would at least like to get my order right. If it was just an honest mistake I wouldn't think too much of it, but it seems like the workers are trained to just churn through as many people as they can without any regard to customer service. read more

I JUST ordered my lunch through Ritual, it said it would take 10-15 minutes so I figured it would be ready when I arrived 21 minutes later. But, when I got to the fridge the only salad there and it wasn't mine. While the line was going way out the door, no one was at the register paying for their food, and the cashier was just standing there looking. So I started walking that way and said, "Hi! I had a ritual order..." And he cut me off, gestured towards where I just walked from and says, "Just wait there, it will be done." Okay, I get it, it's busy and businesses get behind during the lunch hour, I wasn't stressing it. However, not even five seconds later an older (maybe 50's or 60's) white lady walks in, does the exact same things I did, but this time he not only allowed her to walk all the way up to the register, he leans in towards her and says, "Can I get your name Ma'am? I will check on that for you right away!" Seriously only mere moments after. He tells her that her salad isn't ready yet, but allows her to just lean on the counter next to the register (so literally blocking people who would be ready to pay) to wait for her salad to be ready. By this point, I'm at the register, telling the person on my bluetooth in an obviously insulted and pissed off manner the story while looking right at him. At this point he says, "What's your name?" He walks over to check on mine and immediately walks back with my finished salad. read more

I can do without this salad or possibly just make my own salads, moving forward. The ingredients didn't have too much flavor. I paid an extra $4.50 for shrimp that had zero zest or seasoning. If there aren't many choices and you need a healthy meal, then yes. Other than that, it's literally just an 'okay' salad bar. read more

Enjoy this place very much. The salads and ingredients are very fresh and delicious. The only complaint about this place is that they are under-staffed. This place always has a line and only 2 staff. They're both in charge of making the salads and register, which makes it difficult to attend to each customer. Management needs to hire or put more staff on the schedule. read more

Not my favorite salad spot, but definitely a good deal. $8 for unlimited veggies, $10 w/ chicken or $11 w/ seafood. The vegetable selection is big and has all the basics; average quality, nothing gourmet. Avocado costs $1 extra, but otherwise everything is unlimited. Also comes with your choice of bread. (Wraps are even cheaper -- $7 w/ veggies, $8 w/ chicken, $9 w/ seafood.) Plus, you can add a $2 cup / $3 bowl of soup to your order. Great deal! Servings are generous, options are abundant and prices are reasonable. I still prefer Loose Leaf or Mendocino Farms for salads, but Salata is a back-up option. Fyi -- Dressings could be a lot better. I'd avoid the caesar, it's not good. read more

When salata first opened I loved it! They used to pack the salads up with all your favorite toppings. Now not only are they EXTREMELY stingy with the lettuce as well as the toppings - they include bugs as well. When I was enjoying my salad, what I thought was a black bean was actually some sort of black flying beatle. Unfortunately for me, i didn't notice until I BIT IT. Automatically I spit it out and saw that it had wings. I left my office promptly and asked for my money back. Thank GOD i didn't get sick after. Never going back. read more
