    Thai it up!! Lots of goodness.
    Lrisha H.

    I love Simply Salad Gardena. Thai it up is my favorite. Always good customer service.

    Employee chris prepping my wrap
    Michelle V.

    I had a great experience! Chris service was outstanding from start to finish. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely willing to help. They answered all of my questions, made the process easy, and made sure I was completely satisfied. It's refreshing to receive such excellent service. I got the Caesar salad wrap.

    Jynelle Christine S.

    Got to the Caesar wrap to go and it was pretty good! Only thing keeping the review from 5 was that the wrap fell apart since it wasn't wrapped all the way but that's ok. The place itself is very clean with lots of parking and seating available. The staff are also very friendly and attentive!

    I just came in and Kaleah and the Hispanic or Asian guy were the only two working. They did a good job. I also like that Kaleah put the new hit song on your board!! Super cute.

    Always on point and the customer service and prep is alway great. They make sure your order is always correct.

    Out of all the "build your own" Salad places I've tried, simply salad takes 1st place. There's just something about the combination of ingredients I get that makes it SOOOO good and perfect for my taste palette. TRY MY SALAD: Romaine+baby spinach Cilantro Edamame Corn Jalapeños Peperocinis Pickled onions Red onions x2 Grilled chicken Cheese optional Cilantro lime vinaigrette Mixed in medium TRUST MEEE ITS SOOO GOOD!! Also, they don't mix in the dressing for you anymore when you order on the app. :(

    Hair inside my salad bowl
    Alex C.

    I ordered a Cobb Salad through the Simply Salad mobile app order much to my dissatisfaction, I found a hair on the dressing cup inside of the salad bowl. I contacted the restaurant and they had me email the photo. Waiting for a response and a refund or replacement salad. I've never had issues with Simply Salad before but finding a long piece of hair inside of a salad bowl was not a good experience.

    The sad order of Cesar salad
    Cathy A.

    I wanted to share some feedback about my recent visit, as it was unfortunately not up to the standard I've come to expect. In the past, staff have always been happy to accommodate my request for extra lettuce, and those experiences kept me coming back. Today felt different, and I left feeling disappointed. When I received my Caesar salad, the portion of lettuce was noticeably small -- far smaller than what I've received before. When I mentioned this to a staff member, I was told the smaller portion was due to my toppings being placed on the side. I want to clarify that I asked for the croutons and cheese on the side simply because I planned to eat the salad later and didn't want them to go soggy -- not because I wanted less food. For $7.50, I don't think the salad I received reflected good value. The plate felt sparse and underwhelming, and the explanation I was given didn't really address the core issue, which was the lack of lettuce. I've had many great experiences here before, which is why this visit stood out for the wrong reasons. I genuinely hope this was a one-off, because I'd hate for it to put me off returning to a place I've previously enjoyed.

    Love this place! Definitely my grab a salad or wrap go to. My favorite is the Cobb salad and always add extra toppings. Thank you simply salad!!!!

    Staci was wonderful and the food was great ! We got two build your own salads with chicken tortilla soup.

    El Jefe (Salad) it says ON TOP
    Ichika G.

    I came for something quick and simple. I ordered their El Jefe thinking that since it's one of their menus but turns out it's faster if you order custom (it's like subway so I'm dumb for not realizing it) I was surprised It took more than 15 min to prepare my order when there was no body else in front of me just one online order and 3 employees. Minus one star. What disappointed me was that I ordered protein to be ON TOP as you can see from my receipt, but they still gave me chopped and mixed. Another star taken away. The flavor was good I just don't like that salmon is scattered around. There's a reason why I chose salmon to be ON TOP.

I stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch and knew I was going to get the curry puffs. The last time I ordered these I was with a friend and had to share but not this time. I was on a solo lunch and looking forward to the puffs! To say they are "perfect" seems insufficient. They were fried incredibly well, hot, crunchy, tasty, but never greasy. And these little puffs were filled with minced beef, potatoes, and seasoning! For my main dish, I chose the dragon noodles (pad thai) with chicken. All the veggies in the dish were cooked perfectly, nothing too mushy, just the right amount of crunch/bite to the cabbage, broccoli, and carrots. And the chicken was chunky! And while I loved everything about the dish, the sprinkling of the crushed peanuts was *chef's kiss*. There's no skimping on those peanuts here. As I write this I'm excited for the leftover noodles waiting for me. When you walk into Sausalido you really do feel welcomed. The space is unassuming in the best way possible. Posters of the drinks they offer (coffee, smoothies, boba) adorn the walls, along with pictures of the various food items they have. The restaurant is across the street from Alondra Park and there are other businesses in the center. So, if you need to do your laundry do that and grab a meal at Sausalido. Get a massage and then get food at Sausalido. Get your nails done and head next door to Sausalido for a treat. Get here and get here quick!

    Why has no one told me about this gem??…read more As soon as you enter the restaurant, it feels like your grandparents home. I mean that as a compliment, follow my train of thought now. There is so much love, so much heart that is put into the food. Additionally, the amount of food is coma sending. I finished the food and was so ready to take a nap in the warm weather. It's literally like eating grandma's food when youre a young child. The spicy tuna came out first and we were shocked at how delicious the fish was. There wasn't a lot of rice which I appreciated and that fish had a bit of a kick. Pair that with some wasabi shoyu and you're tasting some real goodness. The spam musubi was solid with the furikake. My only gripe was that it had a bit too much rice which could have been better balanced with a thicker slice of spam. Regardless, it was solid. Now the star was the chicken combo. Boy oh boy, that Ladybug Fried Chicken was amazing. The batter had so much flavor and added to the juicy chicken. Pair that with you salad and mac salad.. oh my.. youre tasting a slice of Heaven! Fair warning, there is some grinded celery in the mac salad, so if youre allergic then let them know. Otherwise, that aroma of celery added so much depth to the mac. I can't emphasize enough, there is so much love in the food and the servers take gooooood care of you. It was also amazing to see how much attention to detail the owners put in the restaurant. There is ladybug decor all throughout the place and hand drawn papers from customers. It was really neat to see how much love they receive from their customers.
