It's a shame that Souplantation was one of the permanent casualties of COVID-19, because it was one of the few places in Arcadia where you had fair prices with good food. I honestly don't know a location where all age groups would enjoy it as much as Souplantation. I grew up in the area and would remember me and my friends being hungry high schoolers with no money coming here on the weekends so we could eat til we were completely full for just $10 dollars. (Unhealthy junk food don't even have a price that low). I remember coming here with my mom because she loved the healthy salad and soups. And I was looking forward to coming here with my kids. Souplantation was also one of the first times where I learned not to trust Yelp ratings. I think it's completely delusional for people to rate this as 2 or 3 stars because it has 'cheap average food'. Just across from Souplantation is a BJ's, where a simple caesar's salad costs $15.99. Or there's the McDonalds down the street a bit further where a Big Mac costs $4.99. Souplantation has 3 different kinds of salads, fresh raw vegetables, fresh raw fruits, 5 different kinds of soups, pasta, linguini, fettuccine, pizza, brownies, and ice cream. Tell me, where else can you find all of that (with unlimited portions) for just $10 dollars?

RIP Souplantation! I can't believe one of my favorite restaurants are closed forever!I've made it my tradition to go to Souplantation at the end if every year or beginning of the new year. Trying new foods and kicking the year to a great start of eating healthy. This Souplantation is located in Arcadia and it's the very first Souplantation I've ever dined in. I could remember all the long lines just to scoop salads. Also scooping every bowl of soup just to try "everything". At the end of it all I could make myself and ice cream cone for dessert to remind myself I ate healthy today and I deserved a treat. The staff here were graciously friendly and always helped to clear the tables. I hope Souplantation comes back being rebranded or in some sort of take out way. Until then we'll miss you!

Souplantaion! Thanks for all the memories and all the great food! I was devastated by the news of your closing and hope there was still hope somehow. You will forever be missed!!!

NOOOOO I got an email and a yelp compliment today that said they're all closing permanently! Thanks for the memories Souplantation!Maybe you guys can reopen after all this stupid Covid-19 nonsense is over. There will be lots of empty restaurant space in your size to choose from. If there is any rich restauranteur reading this, maybe you can buy the brand and rights to reopen at some point. America needs more healthy places like this!

This buffet style restaurant does not only have fresh salads, but they have soups and hot pastries!! When you want to eat healthy and also crave delicious food, you come to souplantation! They have coupons available online. You have to search for it. I've been coming here for year with my family and friends. Never once customer service was bad. Parking might be an issue during Friday and the weekends. I've had their lemonade once, it was also refreshing. Only thing that grossed me out was touching the tongs and it's oily or residue on it. Avg spending here is $12-$15 per adult Food 9/10 Service 9/10 Cleanliness 8/10 Parking 7/10

i go here a little too much. my favorites include the tuna pasta, the DIY salads, and the cornbread with the honey whipped butter. there's so much variety here that everyone's cravings will be satisfied. the soups are perfect for any day and they always switch it up. easy to get creative here, this place is super healthy and they do military discounts as well so make sure to bring your ID! tip: some locations have caramel and apples for a sweet dessert!

Always a good place to go when you are feeling like a good scrub of your insides! No meat, what? Salads are always fresh and delicious. I wish they had something more but it is what it is. Soft serve ice cream, little icy...

Waitress was kind and picked up our plates once we were done which gave space for more plates lol. Food looked delicious and tasted really good. The restaurant was well maintained.

My favorite salad restaurant with great salad bar, pasta and soup bar, dessert bar, and pastry bar. Very healthy to eat here. But you have to avoid gluttony on the soups and pizza and soft serves. Besides the salad bar, my favorite place is the soup and pasta bar. This restaurant has over 8 types of soups and three different pastas. My go to soup is the clam chowder and chicken soup. The clam chowder comes with real clams with creamy soup base. You will also find big chunks of chicken with their chicken noodle soup. The pasta are very good with two pennes and one Mac& cheese.
I used to frequent this location all the time with my family as a kid. Decided to visit this location this past weekend with a friend and boy, I think it's been at least close to 20 years since I've last been here. Salad Bar: Well stocked and consistently kept clean. Pizza/Pasta/Pastries Bar: I love their pizza breads and blueberry muffin! Yummy carbs. Need I say more? Soup Bar: Tons of options to choose from. Dessert Bar: Fruits and soft serve. And by fruits and soft serve, I mean soft serve only, right? Right. The experience was great as with the experience at most Souplantation locations - never really had a bad experience before. The only reason I'm taking away one star is because the soups that both me and my friend got (clam chowder and chicken noodle soup) were both more bland than usual - lacking a lot of flavor. Also, I usually like to put green onions and bacon into my clam chowder (I know, I'm weird), but this location didn't have the bacon bits at their soup condiment bar so that was a little disappointing. Also, their parking lot is a little small. So, if you come during the weekend or peak hours, expect to park in neighboring plazas or on the street (minus another star). Anyways, will I be returning to this location? Maybe. I just won't be holding my expectations too high.

I love their bake potato and sweet potato. If you like muffin, they have great blackberry muffins here too. My wife likes their chocolate muffins though. The dessert bar offers varieties of fruits and soft serve. I always add Oreo to my soft serve. Of course, they do provide many types of teas and coffees.

I love salads and I love soup! What better place to have them both than Souplantation! The parking lot is not super big but you can always park at the adjacent lots nearby. This location gets pretty busy but staff is usually on top of stocking up all the food and keeping the restaurant clean. My boyfriend and I love going here. Souplantation is a great date night for us. Something we both love and that is healthy for you! There's always a coupon online or you can use their Yelp check-in discount for some $$$ off. It usually ends up about $10 per a person which is a pretty good deal for a AYCE place. I love how there is always different kinds of soup whenever we go. Probably one of my faves would be the tomato bisque, clam chowder, and the chicken noodle soup. Mac and cheese is usually a hit or miss. But hands down to the blueberry muffins. If I could bring a container and pack some to-go I would...

What's up: Every once in a while, we get a craving for hot soups and salad. We were meeting up at a friend's place and Souplantation was within walking distance. Lucky us, no need to fight for parking! Parking: The parking lot is fairly small for the number of people that come here to eat; especially if you go during the busy times. We saw several people drive back and forth looking for parking. Environment: Depending on when you go, the place can be super busy or fairly filled. The staff members are fairly friendly and come by every so often to collect your used bowls and plates. The salad bar is up front with the pastas and soup towards the right and baked goods towards the left. Restrooms are located towards the right, past the soup station. What was ordered: Once you walk in, grab a tray and plates and start loading up on your greens. As you progress towards the back of the restaurant, you'll pay for your meal and be lead to a table. Sign up online and get coupons in your email! Or, check in on Yelp to get a discount (15% off). Unlimited salad, soups, pasta, and baked goods; don't be shy about going back to the salad bar for more salad (just be sure to grab a clean plate). Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. I always enjoy eating at Souplantation. The salads are good and I like all the different soups that they have. The baked goods have the right amount of sweet and are always hot and fresh. The manager was also nice enough to go by the tables and ask if everything was well. Credit cards are accepted.
