My boss introduced me to Simply Salad months ago and I order from here at least once a week. I even got my parents hooked on them. I have nothing but good things to say about this establishment. I love the option of building your own salad, however, I'm a one trick pony and I usually just go for their Signature Salads they have and adjust accordingly to my preferences. I appreciate the fact that they suggest specific dressings for you depending on the salad you get. My absolute favorite salads are the Hipster, the Chinatown, and now as of today- the Thai It Up. I absolutely love the symphony of flavors with their Thai Peanut dressing and their Sweet Sriracha Vinaigrette- currently salivating as I'm writing this. Their salads may be a bit pricey but for the portions they give you and how consistent the quality is, I'd say it's worth the love they put into it. Their salads NEVER miss. Even though there have been rare hiccups like when they accidentally forget an extra dressing or forgetting to include another topping, Manager Simone Agee always makes it right by making sure to include credit for my next order. Their app is fairly easy to use and I love the convenience of being able to order ahead of time for both pickup and delivery. They always keep the inside clean and staff have great customer service and are friendly. They've been able to keep me a loyal, happy customer. And as long as I'm in Long Beach, I'll keep coming back. Thanks Long Beach Simply Salad Team! read more

I would have given 5 stars, except that the store itself has limited seating and not conducive to dining in if I had wanted to. The tables outside are nice, though. I was offered a little discount for ordering through their app so I took advantage of that. Ordered in the morning for pickup early afternoon. I stuck with the basic build your own salad... you are allowed greens mix, choice of only 5 veggie ingredients for the base price, a dressing. I didn't need to add meat or more veggies as I was taking it home to eat later. Ordering was easy on the app. I arrived about 20 minutes before my scheduled pickup time, but the staff at pickup was very nice and let me know it would be up quickly. Store was fairly empty at that time. Restroom was available with code. They asked if I needed a bag for the salad bowl but I had brought my own. Utensils and salt/pepper were available to take. I liked the variety of chips and bottled drinks they offered but did not get any extras this visit. Salad was a good sized bowl. It included a little slice of pita bread that was tasty. There were lots of the sliced black olives and edamame. I understand having everything chopped bite sized, great of you are on the go, but my lettuce and other items were diced so finely... I could barely find the cucumber, the pickled onions were still pretty bitter tho tiny, and having grape tomatoes sliced up made them lose their flavor and texture. Mixed together, though, with some of the creamy Mediterranean dressing I chose, it was delicious and filling. read more

First of all, I love the app! It is so easy to use, my order is always accurate & on time! I love how much salad they pack into the bowl. The ingredients are so fresh and chopped just right so you get almost every ingredient in one bite! This place hits the spot! Parking is a bit tricky yet I always seem to find a spot. read more

I've tried Simply Salad three times in the last week and I'm officially hooked. I love how easy it is to order online or through their app and my salad is always ready right on time for pickup. So far, I've tried the Thai It Up Salad with salmon (Thai peanut sauce) and the Chinatown Salad with grilled chicken twice (Far East and Asian soy mix). Both came with a generous amount of protein that actually keeps you full. I always get the dressing on the side so I can control how much I use without oversaturating the salad. Everything was super fresh with no wilted or soggy pieces and my favorite part is the added crunch and texture from the crispy wontons. Five stars for my new go to salad spot in Long Beach. I can't wait to go back and eat my way through the menu. read more

Simply Salad - El Jefe (Salad) - Salad Near Me - Long Beach, California

I ordered from delivery on door dash. I opted for the Cesar salad with lemon juice and Cesar dressing. The food was delivered on time and seemed pretty fresh. The salad was large for the price point. Overall it was good but nothing special to me. I would order maybe again but it would not be my first choice. The salad was decent but just average. It's worth giving it a try as everyone has different taste buds but it didn't really give me inspiration to put this place on my rotation. Again I can not comment on service or ambiance because I did not physically go to the restaurant. read more

Simply Salad - Ceaser salad with lemon juice and Cesar dressing - Salad Near Me - Long Beach, California

After the gym , I originally wanted CAVA but dreaded their super long line and not best service so gave this spot a try. I do not regret coming here instead ! Plenty of parking and inside very spacious with lovely plant paintings on the walls. No wait , so I ordered right away. The staff that took my orders was very friendly and helpful with recommendations . I got the Get your Greek on salad . I couldn't decide if I wanted Mediterranean ranch or balsamic vinaigrette for my dressing and asked the server if I can do half on the side. She was able to accommodate that for me. I was so pleased with my 1st visit I went back in 2 days and ordered the Buff salad (no carrots) The portion size was very generous and filling! Both of the ones I order were very delicious in their own way with completely different tastes. The meats in both flavorful and juicy , if I had to pick a favorite I would pick the Buff since it has a kick of spice from the Buffalo sauce and jalapeno. They toss and mix the salads very well. Greens were fresh and crisp. 100% going back ! read more

Good: very fresh, tasty and healthy. Even the basic Caesar salad tasted much better than some restaurant I've been too. The buff salad definitely had the buffalo chicken kick to it. service: cashier was very friendly and knowledgeable of the food menu. Ambiance: simple, basic and cute. Doesn't have much places to sit and eat your food though. I believe this place is more of a to go place. read more

Simply Salad - Very clean environment - Salad Near Me - Long Beach, California

Good Tasting salads but waaaaaaay overpriced. They have beets available so that might be why I keep going there.

It was very good and the prices weren't bad. Around $15 for a kale salad with a good amount of salmon in it. I came at lunchtime and the line moved really fast. Facilities and eating area were very clean. I would come back again for sure. read more

Simply Salad always hits! It's a great lunch option and even a satisfying dinner option after the gym. The portions are filling for a salad, but they don't leave you uncomfortably full. I always go for the salads, but they can make any of their salads into a wrap, and I believe they also have soups. I tend to opt for their signature salads and add/swap certain ingredients. My favorites have been the Chinatown, Thai It Up, and the El Paso salad. Their dressings are also great, and the staff are pretty good at making recommendations or offering a bit of two different ones if you're on the fence about it. Salads come with a piece of pita. I mean, what's not to like about it? I've only eaten inside there once or twice. There is very limited seating, with most of it being by the window. But the space is clean and they have a water dispenser. read more

I ordered the grilked Chicken Cesar wrap. I did add sunflower seeds. The dressing is so addictive. The croutons I found were a big too large for a wrap. Next time I may sub the croutons for something else but there are so many choices and options. This is definitely a great place to pick up lunch. I like ordering online. You can pick up or eat there. Its near a busy center. This is one of my go to places for lunch. read more

Simply Salad - Cesar wrap - Salad Near Me - Long Beach, California

My previous review was 5 stars and I felt the need to give another after my last visit a couple days ago. My order was completed in record time, and when I picked it up, I was greeted with a friendliness that's so hard to get in a lot of establishments nowadays. When I walked out, I was called back by a young lady who informed me I was given the wrong order. After a minute of deliberation among the team, they realized I had the right order the entire time. They were very apologetic and offered complimentary items (which I refused) as a means to make amends. I don't believe the staff made a mistake, instead, cared so much about the service they provide that they felt the need to double confirm. It's nice to see people care. Tip these employees at the very least 20%. They deserve every bit. Oh, yeah- salad was good, too. read more

I don't like the salad ingredients or dressings here. My wife loves the place. I really love salads. But the olives taste funny to me. The dressings I've tried I have not liked. I don't think the lettuce tastes fresh. I've tried both their planned salads and making my own. I have not like any of them. I have had a couple of soups here that were fine. My wife loves to get salads here. So I tried it more than 10 times. But the ingredients to me are substandard. read more

I wish I could give them a better rating but at this point 2 is feeling a little generous. Yesterday I ordered the Miso Hungry salad. It comes with pickled ginger. When I tell you there was enough ginger on here to choke a horse you. I love ginger. This was garbage. I have photos. What you are seeing is all the ginger I could pick out of my 1 salad. That is obviously inedible and gross. Additionally the salad is meant to come with avocado, I got one measly piece in the whole salad. So I basically paid for a bowl of ginger. When I called to notify the manager I was told they would gladly make the salad again for me. But do I really want to give them another chance? I can't say I am willing to entrust this establishment with my money or tastebuds any longer, which is awful because decent salads are hard to come by. Besides yesterday's bad experience I've ordered 2-4 times a month now for several months so this review isn't based on one bad experience, but cumulative. The main issue is the lack of consistency. Some days your salad is minced, other times barely chopped and you have huge chunks of lettuce. Sometimes you get lots of avocado, sometimes almost none. Sometimes your salad has more edamame than the last one, like so much that it's almost all you taste. If you order online and they are out of an item then don't cancel and refund you, no they send a substitute without asking you if that's acceptable! I ordered roasted red pepper Gouda soup but got broccoli cheese, these are not just things you can swap. I'd rather they cancel and refund the item you wanted than try to decide for me what I would find acceptable replacement. Photos of the insane amount of ginger as proof. Btw, that is less than half the ginger I pulled out of that disgusting meal. I chucked it before I thought to photograph it but you can see some of the massive unchopped mass of ginger in the photo of the whole salad. It was truly one of the worst food experiences I've had. Unfortunately I do not recommend this place as it is currently ran. The food can be good, but usually it's not and the fact that it's so all over the place makes it difficult to want to spend my money there. Bummed all around. read more

Love to order but this location seems to always forgets ingredients (sometimes multiple ingredients), including expensive extras like avocado. I've even had orders missing the dressing. I love the customization and I don't mind paying extra for toppings but it's quite frustrating to not receive what you pay for so often. read more

I don't have a picture of the salads but I have to say they are a really good place to eat a delicious salad!

Simply Salad - Build your own simply salad and romain mix with shrimp olives feta cheese egg and ranch yummy - Salad Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm currently eating my salad as I type this, and I just have to start by saying the Caesar dressing tastes amazing! I ordered a Cardini's Caesar salad with grilled chicken and hard-boiled eggs, along with an unsweetened iced tea, through DoorDash. Before placing my order, I noticed a difference between UberEats and DoorDash: on UberEats, the dressing is included with the cost of the salad, and any additional dressing costs extra. However, on DoorDash, the dressing isn't included at all; I had to pay 50 cents for it. When the salad arrived, it didn't look particularly appealing. There was only one visible piece of grilled chicken, and the hard-boiled eggs were nowhere in sight. As I dug a little deeper, I found more chicken, but the eggs remained elusive. The croutons were also a bit too big for my liking, though that might just be me being picky. That said, the Caesar dressing is so delicious that it almost makes up for everything else. I'll definitely give Simply Salad another shot next time; maybe I'll have better luck. read more

Simply salad is the perfect place to go to for lunch when you want a fresh salad or wrap. I tried their chicken Caesar salad wrap and it was so tasty! I love that you can also create your own or customize some of their salads. The ingredients are all so fresh and it is pretty filling. The salads are a huge portion so I would recommend that. They also have appy hour on their app where you get like $3 off your order M-F after 3 pm. The staff is all so nice and the inside is extremely clean. The only thing is they don't really have tables so it's definitely more of a take out place. read more

My girlfriend and I finally gave this place a shot as we were feeling a good salad. While I had a build your own salad, with buffalo chicken crispy onions, and mushrooms with Romain lettuce, my girlfriend had a wrap with chicken and some other items. We decided to give the cheddar broccoli soup a shot. it was OK because we have had better but it still had the flavor necessary to pass. we both can understand why orders come from online because they do take a while to put something together. However, that won't stop us from coming back because we both loved what we experienced. One of our favorite places comes back, we will enjoy the quality of food that this establishment makes and understand its popularity. read more

This was my first time trying Simply Salad. I'm not particularly a salad person so I never bothered trying it but I heard good things about this chain and that you can get wraps. I came during lunchtime and I would say that parking here is tricky and tight. Inside it was pretty nice, but not enough tables inside if you want to dine in. I decided to get the Caesar wrap with grilled chicken for $4 more. You get to decide if you want the dressing on the side or mixed in and low, medium, or heavy. I chose medium mixed in and it was just the right amount, not too dry not too wet. The wrap was a pretty good size, I ate half was pretty full already. The wrap tasted great too and the vegetables and chicken were very fresh. Overall, I would come back again! read more

This salad is SO fresh and delicious! Ordering is simple but the amount of choices didn't make it easy for me to decide! I picked the Hipster and substituted beets for apples and added garbanzos. I like how on the menu dressing pairings are suggested but that I can choose any of the available dressings. The inside of the store is bright and clean. The greens are charmingly displayed in baskets which gives just-picked vibes. They taste just picked! Every ingredient tastes very fresh and house-made. No hyperbole, this is the best salad I have ever had. I cannot go back to my standard work lunches of grocery store salads after eating here. I can easily split the generous portion into two though today I finished the entire thing! The bathroom is very clean! The staff is delightful. I want on of those chopping knives! I love this place! I will return and eat my way through the menu! It would be cool if there were some fruit options like fresh strawberries or grapes. Or sunflower seeds. My mouth is watering just thinking about returning. read more

I have never seen an eatery like this one! Happened to be up in Long Beach and was looking for a smoothie shop. Yelped at good one and woah- this place was next door! I got a smoothie since my heart was set on it and then came right over to check this place out! I thought it was so cool how they had the huge wall of lettuce! I was originally thinking of getting a salmon Ceasar salad but ended up getting a salmon Ceasar wrap instead. The worker chopped the lettuce and salmon in front of me and then wrapped it! I thought that was pretty cool! The wrap tasted amazing. I wish we had one of these closer to home, but next time up that way I'll be back to eat again read more

I've been ordering from Simply Salad for a couple of years now, most notably in the south bay when I worked in that area. I placed an order via the app as they had a special coupon and when I went to pick it up (9am) I noticed that the restaurant opens up at 10am, so I was a bit confused. The employee was very nice and told me that they open at 9am for pick-ups, which is really nice and super convenient if you want to pick your lunch up early before the actual lunch crowd. read more
