(5/5) This was my first time at Simply Salad, and overall I had a great experience. I ordered a custom salad with four egg whites, celery as my topping choice, and Asian soy sauce. By keeping it simple and adding my own protein later, my total came out to about $9.50, which I thought was fair. One thing that stood out was the restaurant itself. The space was clean, modern, and surprisingly spacious. I also liked the self-order kiosks because they made it easy to see all the available options and customize exactly what I wanted. The service was excellent. The staff were friendly, helpful, and even offered samples so I could try things before deciding. That made a great first impression. My biggest complaint was that the menu felt a little overwhelming. Since it was my first visit and I'm pretty picky, it took me a while to figure out what I wanted. The large number of options and add-ons can be confusing at first. As for value, I think the pricing is decent, especially if you keep your order simple. However, once you start adding toppings, sauces, and proteins, the cost can climb pretty quickly. A more fully loaded salad would have been closer to $13.50. Overall, I enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the service. I would come back if I'm in the area again, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a customizable salad spot. read more

I came about an hour before it was about to close and the staff was nice and offered good insight. I usually get the Thai It Up (Wrap) up wrap, with heavy peanut sauce and olive oil. It was consistent as the other locations and I was satisfied. Brand new spacious and clean interior! read more

I love this Hawthorne Simply Salad location!! 5 Stars easy!!! The salad items are a big variety and always fresh. They chop up the salad so it's easier to digest. The salmon is delicious. Izzy, Jaylen, and Liz are outstanding!! The service is superb. They are very kind and professional. They have attention to detail. A friendly environment!! read more

Came in for lunch today since this has become a favorite amongst my office crew. Cute little place in the strip mall next to Sports Basement - there is tons of parking. Staff was very vice and helpful with the menu, especially since we were first timers. I went with one of their pre-planned wraps: the El Jefe with arugula, salmon, red cabbage, corn and avocado with the cilantro lime dressing. Hubs went with a build-your-own. I love that they chop the salad to smaller pieces so there is no need for a knife. The salad stayed nicely in its wrap - perfectly dressed (not dripping out of the wrapper). Delicious, and will definitely come back. read more

I was doing laundry nearby and it was 09:22pm, I'm looking at what's open and I saw this location was open until 10 so I hurry and get there by 9:35pm. I have been to the other one in Inglewood however this location is so bomb. Coming in before they close and getting amazing customer service, food that is STILL fresh was a great reward after a long day. Not all locations are created equal! lol I can't wait to go to Costco, get my pizza and drink then head over here for a delicious salad. Must try! read more

The Baseline: For a salad place, the salads must have fresh, quality ingredients, it must efficiently make my salad, additional offerings must be available, and there should be something that makes me want to eat salad over other options. Food: The salad ingredients were fresh and varied. I went with the Chinatown salad which was pretty good and tasty. The portion size for the salad was very substantial and worth the price. I also got the Mexican Meatball soup which felt better on the rainy day I was eating it. The soup was very flavorful with enough spice. I also tried the humus and pita chips which was a fairly good humus. Overall the items were above baseline for quality and quantity, but I have had tastier salads. Service: Great service and I used the mobile app to order. This made it very efficient and the staff were very friendly. Ambiance: The inside of the restaurant was clean and well maintained. It felt comfortable even though I was in a grab and go mode. read more

Visited another location months ago and fell in love with Simply Salad. This trip we were in about part of town and visited the Hawthorne location. This time I tried the Thai salad and the poblano soup. The salad was fresh, crunchy, multi layered with flavors and textures...perfection. The dark cloud was the Thai Peanut dressing. 100% void of flavor. My heart sank as we were back at our hotel preparing to attend an event so there was no way for me to salvage the salad. The poblano soup was also bland. My husband makes the soup at home so admittedly it's not robust with flavor so I wasn't expecting a flavor bomb. That said, the soup was watery and thin (texture should be between a soup and a chowder), and bland. I did meet Gabby and Elena. Definitely give them a visit, the salads themselves are incredible. read more

Not loving g it at all. Wilted lettuce in my first bowl. They redid it and it was still not fresh romaine. Cannot go to a salad place that does not have really fresh romaine. We obviously have a different take on fresh, crisp lettuce read more

Love simply salad! Great options and this is their brand new location. Super convenient for us to pick up lunch and stop by the bank next door. Super clean and a very quiet shop.

I wanted to share some honest feedback regarding a recent visit to the Hawthorne location on May 3rd. When the location first opened, what really stood out was the energy, attentiveness, and overall customer service. The staff was welcoming, the atmosphere felt positive, and it made us want to continue coming back. Unfortunately, during our recent visit, the experience felt noticeably different. When we walked in around 9:00 PM, neither employee acknowledged or greeted us. I completely understand that employees may be tired later in the evening, especially nearing closing time, but even a simple "hello" goes a long way in making customers feel welcome. I also asked for the restroom code so I could wash my hands before eating and was told the restroom was closed, despite the store not closing until 10:00 PM, which felt a bit unusual. As a business owner myself, I understand how difficult it can be to maintain consistency and keep staff motivated throughout long shifts. That said, it's often the small interactions that shape the customer experience and leave a lasting impression. I'm sharing this feedback because we genuinely enjoy Simply Salads and would love to see the Hawthorne location return to the level of customer service and enthusiasm it had when it first opened. read more

Build-your-own-meal restaurants often sacrifice quality in favor of variety and customizability. Simply Salad does not. There are countless options on the menu for salad mixes, toppings, dressings, proteins, etc. and they're all good. I don't have any real complaints, only that I wish they'd put a bit more jalapeño per scoop when I mobile order. 5/5 food, 5/5 service. read more

It's nice to have a healthy option instead of the fast food place that surround it. I recommend the cobb and the Chinatown salads.

Came to simply salad again, I really wanted to give 5 stars but I just couldn't give an honest 5 stars due to the salad dressing selection. I think o was super spoiled being a Souplantation kid growing up. I will definitely be back again but might order the dressing on the side. The service was great and fast. I was worried the line would take long but it went really quick. Every one at the place seem chill and the ordering process was easy. read more
