Hi, Im happy to share my experience and why I have rated it at one star. We usually go to Mendocino Farm and happened to notice you guys and decided to give it. a try. I wanted the salad with the salmon, but wanted to substitute wild rice for white rice. at $16.99. So the employee recommended I do my own salad, so I told her I just want to substitute the white rice and whatever we do I dont wanna go over the $16.99. At the counter. So I got the four items with at no extra charge, a piece of salmon... at the register it was $22, or $23 with tip $28.00. And the Salmon was fishy, so i assume not fresh and over cooked. The dressing..not right... it just was not a good experience. When I pay $25-$27 for a salad, its usually great and Im served, I dont stand in line for 20 min. and eat out of paper bowls, and the salad was nothing to write home about. I should have stayed with my usual choice.

Stopped in for for a late lunch. Took about 5 minutes to get greeted as the staff seemed to be too busy entertaining each other. They were out of several items, including the basics (white rice, chicken, etc). I was told 20 minutes for white rice. As I stated Ill just go next door (to chipotle) the staff shouted remarks and growled at me in laughter as I left. Sweetgreen was once a powerful service brand, its quite unfortunate the concept has taken such a decline.

I ordered a salad through DoorDash and the bowl was almost half empty. Sweetgreen staff also throw plastic container of the dressing in the bowl too along with 3 limes. Not only it is not hygiene, but also they take more space from the salad. No restaurant does it. To the staff, the cost of the base greens is in pennies. See the photos you put on your website and make something close to it. Even 80% of it is fine. I suggest you visit other sweet-green branches and learn from them too.

Oh my goodness!!!! I lu-uh-uh-uv this place!!!! First, the staff is super sweet--so kind, friendly & helpful but that only sets you up for deeeeelicous healthy food. Ive only gotten the salads. My fav is the Super Green Salad. (I think thats the name. It has kale, spinach, sweet potato, black lentils, raw beets, chickpeas & more!! Theres sooo much stuff in it! Yummy!!!! (I substitute the dressing with the spicy cashew dressing cuz I dont do much dairy.) Also, had the Hummus Salad! Yeah & Amen!!! Mm, mm!!Not a place for a big party as it doesnt have a lot of seating. But if youre into healthy options, youre near the Marina & dont need ambiance, Sweetgreen is the spot!

Sweetgreen has amazing vegan salads. It’s a chain so I wasn’t expecting anything really different here but the location is actually super cute! There’s tables outside where you can enjoy a pleasant evening and we went in for dinner and it wasn’t too crowdedI was a little disappointed that although I paid extra for sweet potato and watermelon in my order- I felt like they skimped on it and added very little. What you see in the photo is all there is, no more sweet potato under that layer :(Also not pictured here: the hibiscus tea. So so good! Heartily recommend getting a bottle. I also love that they do glass bottles so you can feel better about recycling :)

Keeping prices low and the food delicious! I love this place. Healthy, well-priced, fast service and they dont make you feel guilty about leaving a tip when youre getting takeout. Seems like even vending machines have a tip line these days!

Had a Chicken Teriyaki bowl made with all fresh veggies. Yum! Seating inside and out.

I’m almost embarrassed by how much I love me some Sweetgreen and I have it for lunch 6 days a week. No other fast casual restaurant comes close. Some might baulk at the pricing but if you look at the quality, variety and freshness of the ingredients it actually makes sense. Over the hundreds if not 1000+ salads I’ve had I’ve never seen a single ingredient that isn’t fresh so their standards are clearly really high.

Soooo…I just got home and I was super excited to eat my chicken pesto parm! (I have been craving it for like a month now lol)open it up, get ready to toss it and I open up the lid to the small to-go dressing cup and I am met with the worst pesto that I have ever gotten form a sweetgreen. And I know how it should look like since I used to work there a long time ago. It wasn’t emulsified, it was chunk with huge pieces of herbs, it was oily, and it want the pesto that I used to know and love and the pesto I used to make myself. It wasn’t fresh either,m and you could see the brown hue coming from when herbs start getting old. Idk who who you guys have making the dressing but somebody needs to watch over them so they can do it properly. Follow the recipe and you’ll be fine. I love sweetgreen, truly and honestly I love it! It is one of the best salad places in la, for me personally, but it is sad that I have to pay $16$-idk how much $! for bad dressing that has no flavor and chunks of herbs that warmed like they were just chopped up and whisked in with oil.The salad was fine and the ingredients were on point but, the pesto just killed it for me. There was no love whatsoever or effort put into it and it sucks I spent my hard earned money on something like this.

FRAUD!! Terrible, don’t order here!! They didn’t give the chicken, even though that was the main part of the salad and I paid for it! Worst place for salads, outright fraud!!
