The place reminds me of what NYC would be if we don't do something about machines replacing people. They have machines assembling the food. I see lasers criss crossing over my bowl. You must order via the app, the one human in the front will not take your order. They do have a few people in the back loading the machines up with food. I believe Food needs to be prepared with soul to taste great. Machines don't have soul. So the food tastes soulless. The rice was hard. There was not enough dressing even though I asked for extra dressing. It tasted like expensive, dry soulless sustenance. This is not the sweet green I remembered from around 10 years ago. I don't think I will be back. read more

The speed and ease of ordering is 5 stars, but the actual salad and price was 3. The salad was totally drenched and covered in dressing in a way where it just wasn't good. The food itself seemed fresh but it just didn't taste that good. I ordered online a green goddess salad and the final cost was over $25 with all the fees. That's restaurant level pricing and for a wilted overdressed salad with chewy meat, eh. The place itself was clean, but the service was a bit funny because I stood there trying to get the attention of one of the three workers for a few minutes to get a receipt, they were just chatting and not really paying attention - seems like they've automated away everything so the staff really don't have much to do, so then I wouldn't ask so many of them to be there just waiting around. read more

My first time at this sweetgreen since they made the switch to more automated salad making. Ordering process is straightforward, there's about 4 kiosks to order at. My order was ready within 5 minutes, all the customizations I made to it were accurate and it tasted on par with how people made it by hand. Their spicy cashew dressing is sooooo good! Tried the new air fried potatoes, but they were pretty on par with what I make at home so likely won't get those again. read more

Dreadful meal. Chicken parm pesto arrived in nasty cold clumps with wet spinach all around. Weird flavors,cold and dry chicken. I used to love this place but never again. read more

The most overhyped salad. This was my first SG salad ever, as I tend to gravitate towards Chopt (not out of any loyalty to Chopt, it just so happens to have a ton of locations where I work/travel). I don't understand the craze for Sweetgreen. A mediocre salad for $20? It did the job in terms of filling me up but I was left spiritually unfulfilled. Ordered the kale caesar (but swapped romaine instead of the kale, because I'm a heathen and my hatred of kale only exceeds my hatred of romaine), and the only source of flavor and moisture came from the roasted corn I added on an impulse. Everything else was so, so dry. The chicken was an insult to grilled chicken. I am no chef but I could make a better chicken. I needed a lot more dressing and I never say that. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing. People say the salmon and the wild harvest bowl here are good. It's fine in a pinch and if you really want some veggies but otherwise I was pretty let down. read more

This is the closest Sweetgreen to me. I've been getting the Spicy Green Goddess for the last couple of times (but replacing spring mix with kale). I don't know what it is, but when they mention that there's no seed oils and more protein, I always fall for it. This location is clean, and the set up looks a bit different compared to the one I visit near Bryant Park (i.e., ordering on a kiosk instead of standing in line). It wasn't that busy around noon and was easy to pick up my online order. There were a few tables inside where you can sit and eat. Would be back to try other salads/warm bowls! read more

The central location of sweetgreen is good, but its caring staff makes it great. The servings are generous, the cooking is skilled, and flavors are spot on. The service solves problems, and the food brings fresh, delicious tastes. I mean it, the employees are excellent, unusually warm, knowledgeable and immediately make you feel like you belong. Sample the menu at this spot. read more

A great sweetgreen location! Order ahead! I got lunch from here on a Thursday afternoon and sweetgreen was packed! I am really glad I ordered before hand so that I didn't have to wait too long! I did add some extras that they didn't add within my order but overall it was a solid and filling meal read more

I went to this Sweetgreen on a weekend, so my experience may be a bit different than others. Notably, this Sweetgreen is in FiDi and probably experiences a rush during lunch hours. I ordered one of the bowls online and the ingredients were fresh. The service was slower than other sweetgreen's I have visited (they didn't prepare the bowl until quite a bit later). Overall, pretty much what I expected. read more

sweetgreen - Healthy Salads, Wraps, and Bowls - super green goddess (10.95) - Online Only - Salad Near Me - New York, New York

This place is not great. Food is OK, but I can't count how many times I have asked for a salad without chicken, and 9 times out of 10 they place chicken on it. I have even had someone try to take the chicken off and then add tofu, which doesn't work for a vegetarian. Today I placed an order online. When I arrived there are 10 people working there, standing around, but no salad. What's the point of ordering for pickup if I have to wait in the regular line to get my salad. As I said, salads are fine when made correctly, just no one working there actually listens to or reads them the order. read more

Sweetgreen was recommended by my friend, so when the day felt like a salad for lunch kinda day, I gave it a try. Pickup was seamless, with a dedicated pickup shelf area to the right the moment you step in. I got the Harvest Bowl ($14.95) with the Apples substituted for Spicy Broccoli because they didn't have that day. The bowl was perfectly compact where everything stays still despite shaking it. I haven't had salad in a minute, let alone a Kale salad, and it tasted better than I anticipated. There was a good amount of texture in every chew, from the chopped nuts to the stringy chicken. I didn't enjoy the ever-so-often hard grit against my teeth that came from the wild rice though. The goat cheese was a unique add-on that not only left a smelly impression but also a fun gamey tasting edition to the mix. I'm impressed by the different selections sweetgreen offered that wasn't just caesar salad! I'd try another one of their bowls next time I'm feeling a salad. read more

Great place to run in and grab something healthy on the go. I had the tofu and kale dish with miso dressing - so good and a ton of food!! It was my first visit and staff were super helpful at walking me through the ordering and providing recommendations. Restaurant isn't fancy but perfect for a grab and go. read more

Food was plated horribly for being so expensive. The bowl came spilled in my bag. Although the service was very quick.

Rude employees, poorly managed kitchen. I work a block away, and would love to add Sweetgreen to my regular rotation for lunch. But I'm not going to pay to be disrespected or have my time wasted. Not when there are so many other great options in the neighborhood. I waited in line almost 20 minutes just to get up to the counter. And it wasn't overly busy for lunch time, they were just working at a snail's pace. When someone finally took my order, she then asked the woman behind me for her order, without moving a muscle to make mine. I asked if she was skipping me, and she said, "No, I'm making both at once," and proceeded to fill the other woman's order. Apparently my time is of no value, and I'd just have to wait while she completed the order of someone behind me in line. She then informed me one of my ingredients wasn't ready, and it would be ANOTHER ten minutes. At that point I walked out. Honestly, I should have walked out sooner. There is no excuse for treating customers like garbage, and I can see from the other negative reviews that this is the rule here and not the exception. Nor is there an excuse for slow, lazy service. That doesn't fly in this neighborhood. I ended up getting delicious Brazilian empanadas at Urban Space a few blocks away. So my story had a happy ending! read more

Up until now, I'd thought sweetgreen was for basic bitches, but now I see that it's for basic bitches who know a good salad when they see it. I love a good kale Caesar salad, especially when it's super low-carb and high-protein. The one I got here was huge and had tons of tomatoes and parmesan cheese, not to mention excellent chicken. I was so full once finished. For this price, it can't be beat. The line is bonkers. For the over two hours I was here for lunch, it never ceased to be almost out the door. If you're short on time, take that into consideration when coming here. I love the wooden table set-up. There's a two-person table facing the window that's ideal for studying. There's even a couple outlets to the left. Excited to try their other creations, especially their warm bowls! Basic bitches, unite - over greens! read more

I am so so grossed out with sweetgreen right now! Went here with my coworkers last week and took it back to our office. One of my coworkers opens up her lid to see a bug. 5 minutes later...ANOTHER BUG. She took pics, tweeted them at sweetgreen and naturally we all proceeded to toss our salads. Two bugs in one salad either means she got REALLY unlucky that the ONLY two bugs in the entire place ended up in hers, or whatever topping or green these bugs came from was infested. She also reached out to complain through the app. She did't hear back until the next day and only received a refund and $15 credit and the explanation that their stuff is just SO FRESH. I don't even want to go there with the list of things that can be found in naturally in nature that I still don't want to find in my salad. She reached back out because one time they accidentally put the wrong toppings in her salad and gave her a $10 credit, so only $5 more for two live bugs seems to not make sense. Honestly, we all felt she was kind of brushed off and on top of that, it was 3 fresh salads out the window and no desire to go to that sweetgreen again knowing that we have to sacrifice CLEANLINESS for FRESHNESS. Really grossed out and disappointed in their overall response. read more

Simple and short: I really liked the salad I got from sweetgreen. The dressings made a huge difference from other not so bad salads around this area. The price was kinda bummer, you can't pay $11 to $15 dollars every time you are craving a good salad. I was kinda disappointed by the fact that my avocado was dark and tasted like it was about to go bad. That is the reason why I didn't give another star. The price is something you'll consider when you get a huge tasty salad. I Wouldn't come every day, of course... but any time I crave a good salad and I don't feel like cooking, this is definitely the place to go to. read more

SWEETGREEN IS FRAUDULENT... Sweetgreen is like the Apple of the salad/bowl food game. They have unquestionable notoriety and it may seem like their offerings are second to none, as far as healthy salad/bowl chain options go. But what once may have been an innovation, is now a tired and old, capitalistic regime that pumps out poor quality food and lies to the masses. It is disgustingly overrated and sad. But because they have established such a strong foothold, people willingly turn a blind eye when emptying their pockets because they are scared of change. And while their ingredients look somewhat normal and taste edible, the portions are egregiously mischaracterized by glossed up pictures and promotions. I ordered two separate types of chicken, expecting my bowl to be represented with a hefty amount of protein. But to my dismay, I was greeted by what could've been a store bought, prepackaged salad (the ones that come with sporks). The amount of chicken amounted to roughly 2.5 bites, without any other ingredients in each bite. To top it all off my avocado, which could have been quite possibly the smallest half avocado I've ever witnessed, was hollowed out past the pit boundary, making it less that it already was. If you have any sort of self-dignity left, I implore you to pursue other healthy salad/bowl alternatives. Or you can buy into the salad/bowl industry giant fueled by propaganda that is... sweetgreen. read more

Came in to pick up some lunch. The place was empty so I wasn't stressing. Employees made eye contact me and ignored me. Ok. Some family of 6 comes in behind me. Sure. The lady seemingly in charged asked them what she can get them. I then awkwardly stepped in and gave her my order. She took took everyone else's order before making mine. She made my salad along with the rest of the families. I had to wait till lil Timmy let her know how much wasabi he wanted. Are you serious?? Legit 15 minute wait when there was noooo one ahead of me in line. :) not sure if we're being rude or just not efficient read more

We went to this location almost everyday that we stayed in NYC over the course of a month. Even with the modifications to our orders, everyone who helped us was super efficient and friendly (once they saw us repeatedly). They stay busy especially around lunch time. I noticed that a lot of reviewers had complaints about their orders when placed online or through a delivery service. I'd suggest going in person and ordering. My only complaint is the prices are higher at all the sweetgreens in NY compared to California. But, that's NY. read more

I've always thought sweetgreen was a bit on the pricier side for a salad, but didn't realize that a customized bowl could only cost ~$10 and be split into two meals! My coworkers love to come here during lunch hours, and there's always a line out the door everyday without fail. The service is ok, probably because they're so busy with the flood of customers everyday. The salad tastes much better than it looks! I added almost everything that didn't cost extra (aka "premium") - but that's all the good stuff, like eggs and avocado and bacon! Although my salad was devoid of those, the sauces they had were super delicious. I picked a citrus aioli and another one of their sesame ginger vinaigrette! They also ask you if you want slices of bread (free!) that I gladly accepted. The salad tasted fresh and really flavorful because of the house made sauces, but I wasn't a huge fan of the bread - it was definitely a few days old and really tough to rip apart or even chew, which is no wonder they were giving it out. Otherwise, I was able to split the salad into two meals, so it was really cost-effective and healthy. I'd come back another day for lunch! There is limited seating here, so you're better off grabbing and going - and the best method is to order sweetgreen through an app to avoid the inevitably long lines. read more

Ok ok, the hype is actually real! Their salads are much more than a bowl of greens. I ordered the Shroomami (altered slightly) and I honestly didn't expect it to be as delicious as it was.

Tip: Order for pickup through the app because like most sweetgreens this location gets crowded and you'll have to wait a while in long lines. Additionally for every $99 dollars you spend you'll get $9 credit and $9 credit for your birthday. Might as well get credit versus just using your credit card at the cashier every time. They also started offering the option of having the salad mixed on the app for pickup instead of dressing on the side. Though I will say I often have to wait 5 minutes even if I am late for my pickup time (still better than waiting 10-15 minutes in line). Review is for the service/consistency not the salads themselves (which are quite good). They have very variable serving sizes. When you order by standing in line they will give heartier servings. But I've noticed when I order through the app the serving sizes vary from stingy to the regular portions I have come to expect. The cashiers additionally charge different amounts every time I have gone through the line (versus when you pay through the app) and I have to remind them of substitions that shouldn't cost me extra (like subbing parmesan which already a "premium" item on their menu for brussel sprouts). read more

Favorite salad place ever! I'm lucky this place is legit right next to my apartment but the line is always out the door. All the ingredients are as fresh as can be and sources specifically. I wish they had jalapeños but maybe one day. You can either order a hot or cold bowl or salad from their menu or you can build your own. The kale salad is by far my favorite. All of their salad dressings are homemade. The portions are huge and usually under 500 calories for everything. They ask if you want your dressing light medium or heavy which I think is brilliant and everyone should do that. They also throw in a piece of bread as well! Absolutely love this place and will be back. read more

I don't normally leave a bad review but honestly on 9/26, the lady who was working at the salad bar at 5:30pm is extremely rude! I asked for wild rice and she was about to grab the quinoa to which I informed her it's quinoa and I wanted rice as my base, she finally got it right but gave me such an attitude about it. Then she charged me extra for part of the base, which honestly isn't right. It was just $1 more but her math was off and it was the principle! Since I frequent there often, it does add up for me. Anyways, not a fan of her attitude. read more

Great food but rude staff. Someone helping me rolled their eyes at me after I ordered my salad and also glared at me when I tried to ask a question. She also whispered to the cashier talking shit about me, rolled her eyes and walked away. I wonder if they have bad employment conditions. It can also be overpriced if you don't get only veggies- the pickled veggies was an extra $1.50+ and tofu is extra $2.25. It's $8.75 for a salad with 4 non-protein toppings. The salads are cute though. read more

Do I feel a little silly leaving this place a review? Yes. I feel like I'm reviewing a gas station- I mean that to say it's one of those places that, well... do we care about what a gas station is like so long as we can fuel our tanks? Do we care about the atmosphere of Sweetgreen so long as the food is good? I can't even tell you the color of the walls at that place. Alls I know is that they are really great at making sure my food is out on those shelves at the precise pick up order time they gave me, and I love them for that. Good food, solid choice for a day you don't know what to eat but you know you should probably get a salad. read more

For food quality, freshness and taste this place can't be beat. We've been having salads from this establishment for well over a year and the consistency has never waivered. They definitely have a formula and it works. Every bit of the salad is equally delicious and the portion is perfect for a great lunch. They have long lines, but they move along quickly and they only take electronic / card payments (i.e. no cash) which probably keeps the store even cleaner. Don't miss out. This is excellent salad! read more
