October 2023:Stopped by for lunch. Ordered the Thai Peanut Chicken salad. Enjoyed the meal. Lot of food!Ive had their grain bowl before and it was very tasty too!Would definitely come back again for more delicious food!

Stopped by for a quick bite and got the Cabo Chicken bowl. Half way through I found a very noticeable chunk of DIRT on a romaine leaf. I am 10 weeks pregnant and this is NOT something I want to ingest as I’m considered high risk - not to mention all of the bacteria and potentially life threatening diseases associated with potentially contaminated soil. First and last time I’ll order from here, they clearly do not quality control their fresh produce well.

Great salad, affordable and good serving! Will be my go-to at SF airport in the future

Got a bagel, egg & cheese and a Carmel macchiato. Sandwich was dry and with no flavor. Thin piece of cheese that you could barely taste. Egg was just like a warmed up scramble. And the coffee was so bitter. Do not recommend.

One of my favorite places to eat at the Airport. Located in Terminal 3/Uniteds Terminal. They have very healthy options. My favorite is the grain bowl with chicken for when you dont want to think about all of the stuff you can put in your salad. Quick and friendly service.

Very good salads, with fresh ingredients and a wide range of selections, plus you can make your own. Its an airport so its hardly atmospheric, but it is reasonably clean.

Pretty ok prices for a airport. Ordered the bagel with egg and cheese. The egg was a little too watery in my opinion however it tasted fine. Guess you should order a salad as those reviews say they are good.

Pretty good if you’re looking for an allergen friendly meal but expect to pay for it! It’s decent but Expensive- with a capital E. I paid almost $30 for a soup and salad. I was not a fan of their balsamic vinaigrette which was suspiciously creamy and didn’t taste like balsamic. It allegedly didn’t have dairy or soy in it so no clue what’s in there just not my favorite

Please avoid at all costs! They serve their chicken sandwich ice cold! Who even does that? When I asked them to warm it up, they said we don’t do that! I just through $13 down the garbage can!

Everyone should check reviews before buying anything. A turkey soup cost 7.50 but not impressive. Also as the other one mentioned they charged you an employee benefits fee of 2% and 2% each for cold and hot, total 4%. What the hell! They also say tips appreciated! Stay away from this cheating place and their not so great food. And they dont offer a spoon when you order a soup until you ask!

Great option for healthy eats at the airport. I grabbed a fresh salad with organic greens, some fresh avocado, cucumber an tomatoes. I added a can of sardines I brought from home. Delicious!

It’s a Airport food. Service is great and they were really fast. The food was pretty bland. I had a breakfast sandwich and there was little to no flavor.

Review №13

2020-09-29 21:47:42

Great healthy options to eat. Fast service. I ordered Asian tofu salad and avocado toast. It was very good. Little pricey but didn’t mind paying for the healthy airport food

Best kale salad ever! Made my own with tomatoes, kale, pecorino Romano, feta and foccacia croutons in a ceasar dressing. Delicious!

Bagel with cream cheese was cold and unappetising. Even with 5 people working they still managed to mess up my order.

Review №16

2018-09-16 14:18:38

Good option for airport food. I usually get a large bowl of Turkey Chili or Tikka Masala for a nice hearty, hot meal thats not your typical greasy fatty American airport fast food.

We went in anticipation of a sourdough bread bowl. My husband and I both ordered soup. They were both enjoyable. We asked for butter as we were checking out and were told no butter. It would be nice if the had a sign telling the customers they were out of butter prior to ordering. Come on.....sourdough bread without butter?

Everyone working was pleasant and efficient. Expensive but I would pay that much for a salad than for a greasy burger and fríes at the airport. Vegetables were very fresh. My plastic fork broke.

Got the chicken chipotle salad and it was delicious. Fresh tasty ingredients, friendly staff, plenty of dressing.

Review №20

2022-07-03 23:00:26

First of all, the fact that I could find a salad this good in an airport was amazing!! But even outside of airport food this would hold up. The Asian Chicken Salad was super filling. And, the service was great - they were super accommodating of my allergies. Loved it.

Review №21

2018-02-10 21:41:06

Get the chicken tikka masala and you’ll be ready to go! Healthier than most of the spots you find at the airport. Too bad the price is a little over for a soup!

Review №22

2023-04-01 04:39:26

Decent chicken soup on a passable sourdough bread bun. Nothing special, but better than most airport food so...Very polite service!

I love having a layover in SFO because of this place. They have the best clam chowder. No bacon and not salted to death. Perfectly balanced, somehow both light and filling, and reasonably priced. Theyre always well staffed by the kindest, most efficient people. Dont be scared off by a long line: its long because its delicious and moves very fast. Enjoy! (I always do)

Ordered the cioppino. The description said it was loaded with scallops, shrimp, and cod, but there was not a single piece of seafood in mine. I asked for another bowl, and they really tried to scoop up as much of the stuff as possible, which I appreciated, but I only saw a single scallop and no shrimp or cod. It was mostly just vegetables.

Grandma Mary’s soup used to be so delicious. Got it today and the chicken was dry and tasted canned and there were mushy potatoes in it. Bread was good but they didn’t have butter:-(

The egg and black bean breakfast bowl. Very fresh, tasty, and healthy.

I got an avocado toast and clam chowder from here with purified water and it was 22$! Pricey for what I got.I think next time, I’ll stick to just the clam chowder but in a large.The clam chowder is interesting. It has huge Chun is of potato and celery! Not much clams. It’s good in taste.The avocado basic toast is basically a spread of avocado with parsley layered over it. Very basic. N

Soup was considerably better than expected for good court soup

Review №29

Avoid the split pea soup or the avocado cheese sandwich

Review №30

Completely disorganized. What a mess. Go to one of the other restaurants just feet away from here.

Review №31

I got the Burmese tea leaf salad. There were no crispy peas in it, there was only one tiny piece of a cucumber and there were tomatoes that were not supposed to be there. It was a huge bowl of cabbage and the other vegetables were scant. I don’t get this unless you just want a big bowl of shredded cabbage

I have a 2 hours layover at SFO, I didnt want to eat fastfood. I saw a lot of people ordered the soup in a bread bowl. I decided to give it a try and it was good. Very filling but the Clam Chowder were on the salty side.

Review №33

2017-12-14 23:46:01

One of the least junky foods on offer at the airport. Price is whithin the range considering the location. The Chicken Tikka Massala tasted good and wasnt too much spicy. A piece of bread is complimentary when choosing soup. There are also sandwiches and salads. A 4% employer fee is charged, which should be stated first. Overall decent experience given the low expectation.

Review №34

2017-05-19 19:07:33

Dishonest pricing! Charges a 2% employee benefits fee that you dont find out about until you get the receipt. Charges the same price for soup with or without bread, then proceeds to advertise the items as Gluten Free when theyre taking away half your meal to make it such. Food isnt tasty and looks terrible. Dont come here.

Review №35

2017-06-15 05:28:27

Clam chowder was the only thing left so maybe this isnt accurate to the whole menu. However it really wasnt very good. Somehow it was like eating oily salty and watery celery. Also the sign has a nice looking loaf of bread that comes with it but instead you get a tiny slice. Wont at there again.

Review №36

2018-09-05 03:23:09

Chicken Tikka masala in a bread bowl treate amazing, costs as much as any other airport meal, and the only difference is this will actually fill you up. All soups are priced the same for the most part and getting the bread bowl for 2 extra dollars is very worth it if youre looking for one meal to tide you over for the majority of your layover.

Review №37

Above average health salad place in the airport. Salad could be chopped up for easier eating.

Review №38

Clam chowder is good. Its nice to have something hot after a long flight.

Southwest Chicken soup had no actual beans, corn, or peppers... was basically tomato puree with bland chicken.

OK vegan humus wrap. A bit pricey as expected on an airport.

Review №41

2017-04-03 22:08:52

Had the daily special, Chicken Provencal, and it was very tasty and delicious. Also tried samples of the classic Chicken Noodle and it too was very good. I would dine here again.

Review №42

Great selection of salads and soups. had the pico kale and was not disappointed. 4 stars because the person at the checkout wasn’t of the friendly kind.

Review №43

2022-03-25 23:22:13

Dont get the lobster bisque, its sweet and doesnt taste like lobster at all. Plus the amount of lobster, if any, is miniscule.

Review №44

2023-03-09 04:25:15

Cold and bland Corn chowder on a cold and hard bread bowl. Waste of money.

Review №45

2022-02-12 17:41:39

Happy egg is not made a great toast. Everything just got sprinkled on the bread. Coffee is OK

Review №46

The chicken tortilla soup is very good. A chunk of bread is a part of the meal. Very filling.

Review №47

All sandwiches are cold, basically like the Subways, but three times the price.

Mediocre quality, average airport food. Go to the Chinese place to the right of the soup company and try their sticky rice leaf, awesome.

I got the burrito, which was pre-made, tasted okay though. Was surprised that I got charged an employee benefit surcharge to heat up a frozen burrito.

The chowder is watery, has no bacon and almost no clams. Needs salt too but they didnt have any available! He also charged for butter for the dry bread!

Bad service and even worse food (turkey chili, and the bread roll is awful), even for an airport. The cookie was the only redeeming factor.

If you havent been able to try San Franciscos signature clam chowder, this is a great opportunity inside the airport. Very tasty soup at a good price.
