    Simply salad is great. The place is adorable and clean. The service is good, but not great, so they need to work on that, but everything else is wonderful. You can do take out and I think they deliver, but we like eating there and using their salad buffet which everything you could want, including great dressings and croutons. They have sliced avocado and crisp fresh greens. It is all so good. It is comfortable to sit there and there is usually a spot. We love their fresh sliced mushrooms and their tomatoes are even great, and in LA it is hard to get good tomatoes. The area around the buffet is kept so clean and it is very well stocked. They even have cookies. It is all great and if you love salad, this is the place for you. Parking is easy.

    The 'Cue and the Hipster salads were delicious! I love that you can customize your options! The folks were super friendly and accommodating I added cucumber to the 'Cue salad and next time (because I am going back for sure), I will also add avocado!.

    Today I had my favorite Simply Salad up by Ladera Estates this location always prepares the best salads fresh and fast. My go to is a grilled chicken simply salad mix with shredded carrots, red bell pepper, chopped apples, dried cranberries and wontons with a far east dressing. Everything is always so fresh and amazing and it's a great go to... this refreshing salads is filling and I appreciate that it only takes about 17 minutes to hit my doorstep. Keep being great Simply Salad!

    If I wanted a bowl of plain lettuce with a side of disappointment, I would've stayed home fasho. The customer service here was cool. The ambiance is nice. The lady who helped me was super nice and had good energy. One thing I actually liked is how they take your full order at the start, none of that awkward pointing at toppings one by one like some other salad spots, BUT I may have preferred that... stay tuned... Now, the salad itself? Basic. Like, painfully basic. I got romaine lettuce with olives, cucumbers, pepperoncinis, and Italian dressing, and honestly, they skimped hella hard on the toppings. It was mostly just lettuce, and not even the good kind... just a pile of it with a few scattered leaves I'm sorry. I could barely taste anything but greens. And that Italian dressing? Man, it tasted so processed and preservative heavy I ain't even put it on my salad. It was so sad cause I only took a few bites of my salad and was like, "Yeah... I'm good." Ended up not even finishing it. It wasn't the worst experience ever, but for a place called Simply Salad, I expected a little more effort in the actual salad cause my salad was a sad salad.

    We picked this place for a small meal after we arrived to LA. Upon walking in, I was greeted with a hello. I explained this was my first time and the young lady walked me through the menu and dressing choices. I opted for the salad which comes in one size and 5 toppings. I did not add meat as that is additional as well as any other toppings. After I told her my order, on my side of the counter I paid. It looked as though you can walk in and just order and pay at the kiosk. I was not sure about two dressings, but they let me try both. I opted for the Mediterranean ranch. The wait was a little long, I observed a lot of people coming and going as they are located next to a gym. The service was simple, nothing really outstanding. There is seating available inside and the decor was very simple. Parking is ok, they are located in a strip mall. The lettuce is fresh, but I found that I had to search for my toppings . We felt skimped on the toppings as the lettuce overpowered. Overall, it helped curb our appetite until dinner.

    Simply salad please do better with training the staff for customer service. It's 2:00pm 05/13/2026 . I stood there for 5 mins waiting for someone to acknowledge me so I can pick my order up. Instead everyone is having a personal conversation. Two girls talking about a purchase asking if it's smart. One girl asking if she can take her break to another girl near the start of the assembly line. The other girl replied "why are you asking me you're in charge". The girl in charge "ok then I'll take my break". A few guys walking by, only reason dude asked if I needed help was because he placed a pick up order on the shelf. Then he hands me my salad and didn't even ask if I needed a bag. I had to ask for a bag! Normally I'm not one to leave a review but c'mon y'all.

    My perfect salad! Designed by ME!
    Ingrid D.

    I'm always delighted to create my salad as I desire, but was happy to notice 'add ons' whilst checking out and saw soups were available! The meatball soup was very savory and satisfying. *I would like it very much to see Thousand Island dressing added as an option.

    Soggy Bbq chicken salad :(

    I absolutely love SS! I didn't have the best take out experience.. I also did not have the best experience in store KT.. However Ladera & Santa Monica GETS IT RIGHT EVERY TIME! I appreciate fresh, clean, and healthy alternative to fast waste available these days. AS LONG AS YOU REMEMBER YOU MUST SPECIFY For your salad to be dressed or not. And you will indulge in a crisp & SO FULFILLING SALAD. I've had the pleasure of returning here to enjoy the Chinatown chicken and sometimes salmon salad at least a dozen times since I left my unsatisfactory review I've even had the pleasure of meeting Bruce T.! I will happily continue to enjoy these salads knowing that I'm getting some of the best ingredients available. :)

    Nice design on the wall as you enter.

    In and out with no hassle-(although we actually sat down to eat) Guest & I ordered the Cesar chicken. I have to admit this chicken Cesar was good, although it could have been seasoned a little better, but if you're not much on the seasoning aspect of your salads you'd be in heaven. Chrisp,fresh, and a decent size. Interesting how 95% of the business was all pick up and to go. Practically no one chose to eat their meal there. I guess that's the preferred model. Hey whatever works, a decent product and a decent time.

    Be careful when visiting this location. I found a huge bug in my salad. I returned the salad and sent a message to the corporate office discussing my experience and requested someone to reach out to me. No one ever did. I will never eat here again and I have told my friends and family to avoid this location.

    Thai It Up (Wrap)
    Yana's P.

    I needed to eat before my dentist appointment. And I knew that I needed some sort of veggies in my meal. I picked the Thai Up Wrap with extra Kale, Thai peanut dressing on the side. The price wasn't too expensive and I love that the lettuce/kale and veggies were chop into small edible pieces. I only ate half because it was sooo filling. Definitely going back to try some other meals.

    The freshness, The nice bold crunch of fresh greens, The thin but mighty wrap when i bite into my El jefe just so fire i got cilantro like dressing and an Asian soy mix. Gets me full and right every time I'm officially addicted.

    Do they have Gluten Free options for Celiacs? Are the staff informed how to avoid gluten cross contamination?

    There are gluten free options and they prepare a fresh cutting board/knife to prevent cross contamination. Just mention your allergy and they'll accomodate.

    Does anyone know where they get their salmon? I'd hate to be eating a healthy salad just to be ingesting a bunch of PCBs

    As fresh and amazing as the produce and dressings have been via my experience I cannot imagine they would not provide premium seafood in their salads. My mom ordered a salad with salmon and she was supremely pleased

    Spending time with the family, and since we were in the area, we decided to go to Urban Plates…read more Urban Plates is located in the Playa Vista compound. The restaurant has a friendly, casual atmosphere. As we entered the restaurant, we were politely and warmly welcomed by the staff. The menu consists of a lot of options for a variety of different tastes. After reviewing the menu board, you order food at the service counter, given a table marker, and seat yourself. When your order is ready, it will be brought to your table. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger. The burger consists of a grass fed beef patty, tasty bacon, tomato, lettuce, pickles, a spread of thousand island dressing, all contained within a slightly grilled brioche bun. The burger comes with seasoned fries. I asked for a side of ranch for dipping my fries. The herb ranch dressing was excellent!

He seemed shy and kept to himself, and watching her talk down to him and treat him that way was completely unnecessary and unprofessional. Just because someone may be too shy to defend themselves doesn't give you the right to embarrass or disrespect them publicly. Then there was a customer who received the wrong order. Instead of fixing the mistake or even showing basic concern, this employee basically said she didn't care if she got the wrong order because it "wasn't her problem." Seriously? That's how you treat customers? At this point, this doesn't seem like a one-time bad attitude. It looks like a pattern of disrespect toward both customers and employees. Management needs to seriously address this because nobody should have to come to work or spend their money somewhere and be treated like this.

I ordered two smoothies, one for me and one for my son: #17 and #31 IN STORE on Saturday, 9/19/26. As you continue reading, please keep the words "in store". When I ordered, the staff asked for my name and phone number. I thought it was a little strange that they needed my phone number since they call your name over the mic when your order is ready, but okay. They were busy, so I prepared myself to wait patiently. No biggie. But then I started noticing SEVERAL people who ordered way after me getting their names called and picking up their smoothies. That's when I was like, "Oh heck no, something ain't right!" After waiting about 15 minutes, I finally walked up to the pickup counter and asked when my name was going to be called. I gave the young lady my name, and she first looked over at the smoothies being made, thinking maybe mine was in the process. When she realized it wasn't, she checked the screen and asked, "Was it a phone order?" Nope! I told her I stood right there in line and ordered in person, and I had already watched several people who came in after me get their smoothies. She then looked in the freezer, pulled out ONE smoothie and said, "They had you as a phone order." Now I'm even more irritated because I ordered TWO smoothies. I told her I was supposed to have two, so she opened the freezer again and pulled out my second smoothie. So both of my smoothies had apparently just been sitting in the freezer while I was standing there waiting for my name to be called. I know the mistake wasn't necessarily the young lady's fault, but what bothered me even more was that there was no apology. Not even a simple, "Sorry about the mix-up." Moving into the neighborhood, I was genuinely excited about having this place nearby and supporting the establishment. Unfortunately, after today's experience, I don't think I'll be back. Maybe reconsider asking for a phone number when someone is physically standing in the store ordering, or have a clearer system for distinguishing in-store orders from phone orders. Because waiting patiently while your smoothies are sitting in a freezer the entire time is definitely frustrating.
