    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.

    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!

    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.

    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. :(

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

    I'm a fan of this place because I can make my salads exactly how I like them, but lately at the Gardena location they've been giving me the ingredients basically whole. The whole reason I order my salads here is because they're supposed to come chopped--otherwise, I would just make them at home. I'm honestly very disappointed. If I go in person, I have to specifically ask them to chop everything so I can get it the way I like it. And if I order through DoorDash, it's a gamble--sometimes they do it right, sometimes they don't. This has been happening for about a month now, and it's affecting the overall food experience. It's just not the same, and honestly, I couldn't even enjoy eating it.

    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 have been getting salad from here for many months now. Good fresh ingredients, no BS, no nonsense good food. I am a big guy. I lost about 25 lbs so far, part of which I attribute to Simply Salad runs for lunch. The staff are friendly and have never had an issue with the service. 5 stars!

The area is always nice, clean and organized. Staff is always super cool with great customer service. Seating area is good, especially since it is shared amongst the other Enclave businesses. Their cute little boxes with the logo make it look hella trendy; which fits their whole atmosphere. The actual salad wasn't bad and I would think vegans would really really really like this place more than us. Their chicken was seasoned pretty damn good. Wished there was more greenery, mandarin oranges for what we paid, but it's expected for a place like this. Stoke Salad is totally worth trying even at least once! Great alternative to the other food places around here too!

    If you're not coming to Sausalido Cafe you're missing out on more than just great tasting food!…read more I've been here a few times and the owner, Julius, is always there greeting you when you first walk in, welcoming you with a genuine "hello" and bright smile whether it's your first time or you've been before. 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!

I got the Chicken Katsu and Fried Chicken Combo, which came with salad, rice and mac salad. The Fried Chicken was seasoned and fried to perfection! So juicy too. The chicken katsu was a bit disappointing though. The chicken was pounded paper thin and the panko crust, although it was crispy and not too oily, separated from the chicken. The sides were pretty average. I heard they also have live music on the weekends and evenings, which is great in their spacious dining area. Love the cute drawings and messages from locals and the collection of ladybugs and lucky cats. I would come back since I work close by. I would definitely get the fried chicken again and try other dishes on their extensive menu. Friendly and efficient service. Free parking lot in the back.

The shrimp grilled in the shell is lackluster because the shrimp often sticks into the shell and dry out, harder to eat and less delicious, in my opinion. All of the fishes that are grilled are great and the best options.
