“Friendly Comfortable neighborhood spot“

“My first time here. The salad was great. I don't like the fact that I felt like my salad was thrown at me and I also received the wrong order. There were 2 Rebeccas. But again, the salad was delicious and it was a nice portion. I can compare Chop Stop to Simply Salad; they just don't have the ingredients at the front counter and they are more affordable than simply salad. I spent 22.00 here. At SS I ways spent 32.00+ With that being said, I will definitely go back on a regular basis.
I chose the BUILD YOUR SALAD option, BTW.“

It has been a while since I've been this motivated to write up another review!

I want to start by saying my palette leans towards salty foods as well as meat-focused foods. That being said, I cannot believe how delicious this place is and how much I enjoyed this visit!

Upon walking in it is immediately noticeable how clean and well kept everything else. You can see the tables and chairs are wiped down, the stacks of bowls, trays, lids are all presentable and neat in fashion. Everywhere in and around the food looks clean and well kept! The staff were very friendly, well dressed, and were professional all throughout. There was not a discrepancy in sight. But now the main focus– the food!

This was my first visit to an establishment like this, so I wasn't too sure on what to order and decided on a few different options. My order included the following: a Ceasar Salad because it is a tride and true sets the baseline for the rest, an El Paso salad, a 'get your Greek On' as a wrap, a tortilla soup of the day, a chocolate chip cookie, and their in-house made lemon unsweetened tea.

First and foremost– prices. Prices in my opinion are not just fair, they're competitive. The portions are solid. The flavor of every item was bold, fresh, and delicious. I seriously could not stop eating until I was full. My favorite part has to be the fact that they do not hold back with the ingredients here. I truly felt like I got what I paid for and more and was instantly saved to my favorites!! The cookie didn't taste anything like that manufactured flavor you get from commercial-grade cookies and was actually tasty and sweet. The tea had a nice balance of flavor and paired well with the food. The Ceasar (with grilled chicken) and El Paso salads tasted amazing! The Get your Greek On as a wrap with grilled steak paired with the Mediterranean sauce for me was fantastic and probably my favorite item this visit! The tortilla soup was served hot and came with it's sides, tasting exactly like you'd expect with no lack of flavor.

Overall, if you're in the area and want something fresh, something with protein, solid portions for a competitive price, I would recommend you give this place a try. Thank you for reading and I hope this helps :)“

“My husband and I are visiting from Seattle, and this place came highly recommended so we had to try it. It absolutely did not disappoint. The flavor, the spices, and the quality of the food overall were excellent. We ordered two pizzas along with the lemon garlic salad, and everything was amazing. The salad was so fresh and flavorful, and the pizzas were outstanding. Thank you so much for such an incredible meal and for giving us such a great dining experience. We’ll definitely be recommending you to others!“

“Nice vibes, convenient location with easy parking, beautiful decor. Service was lacking, but understand there is a labor shortage right now, perhaps that's to blame here. Bodega sando was perfection! Pastries were alright...most looked better than they tasted. I'd say they were good but not great.“

“We have been meaning to try Hail Mary for awhile now and finally ordered online for pickup. The food was ready fast. It was delicious and packaged well for the ride home. The gentleman that greeted us made sure the order was complete prior to me leaving. We’ll be back!“

“Almost too hip of an atmosphere. Looks futuristic and like a hipster puked all over it but it’s still cute. I miss the old schnackenbergs! This place looks odd in old cute charming uptown Hoboken. It’s very Portland-esque. Good salad tho.“

“I finally got to check this place out. I've been wanting to go since it opened.

I got the chicken and rice meal. It was really good! The only thing I would do different is ask if they could heat up my chicken. I was not expecting cold chicken with warm rice.

I got takeout to eat in my car but waited till I got home so I could warm up the chicken. It was much better. I loved the dressing and exhaustion those onions. Absolute perfection.

Staff was very friendly. The establishment is super clean. They were still baking cookies at 8:00 p.m. which is great for those who love an evening snack!“

“This place is by far the BEST salad spot I've been to in years. There's always parking at ground level, right in front of the restaurant. Usually super short wait to be served. Staff is always friendly, welcoming, efficient! Ambience is clean, minimalist, modern. Great place for a quiet retreat and a refreshing healthy meal. I've also had their salads delivered. #1 organic greens and dressings!“

“We were hungry after leaving a show, and randomly found this pizzeria. We walked in and were pleased to find a warm and cozy little place with some open tables. Ordered a Margherita Pizza with the addition of artichoke hearts and a Greek salad. Both were delicious, and we were impressed by the generous size of the salad, which was served in a beautiful wooden bowl.
Dominic was running the show by himself while the restaurant was experiencing a rush of to-go orders as well as some walk-ins. He was very friendly and helpful and provided us with a pleasant experience. This place is lucky to have this guy! We would definitely go back if we find ourselves in the area again.“

“pizza is delicious and wings are fantastic“

“Never saw such a variety of good,healthy options! I had a Cobb Salad and it was delicious!!“

“The best smoothies ever! Aside from the taste the amazing couple who run the business are the nicest people I have ever met. They offered to make a smoothie just to see if I liked it, and offered something better to satisfy the taste I was going for! So many options to choose from and all organic! I would highly highly recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a go to smoothie, juice, açaí place! A wonderful experience and I have become a returning customer!“

“If you want authentic Burmese Food, go there. Not pricy, yummy food and warmly welcoming environment.
I really wanted Shan noodle with Tofu but mostly Burmese Restaurant only offered Shan Noodle, but this one has it. So I ordered Shan Tofu Noodle and it’s so fresh. Monhikha is good but texture is thick.
The place is hard to find as it’s really small inside. Waiting time for food is so long, for me, I waited for about 20 25 mins to get my food after already ordering. The lunch special deal is good one.“

“Every Table meal subscription is amazing. Delicious, healthy foods at a very fair price. 5 dinners only $38. The best part is my area has brick and mortar stores where I just walk in and buy my meal prep for the week...Meals cooked in a local kitchen by real chefs with local fresh ingredients. I'm busy all the time and although I love cooking it's hard to cook for just one person. The majority of meals are 600 calories or less. An easy way for me to stay in my calorie deficit. I just had the chicken schwarma bowl and it was soooo good. Tasted just like a home cooked meal. Highly recommend“

“Great Lebanese taco joint. Vegetarian options. Generous portions. Very satisfying.“

“Super riko selos recomiendo“

“Ate at this spot almost every day pre pandemic. Since I haven't been downtown, I realize just how hard it is to get a good custom salad anywhere else. Also, the staff here was always very friendly. Miss these great salads made to order!“

“My first time visiting California and we chose this restaurant for dinner. The food was so very good. We shared a vegetarian platter which consisted of falafel, tabouli, hummus, baba ganoush and cabbage salad. My son had the lamb and beef kabobs, my daughter the beef schwarma platter and I had the chicken skewers. The garlic sauce is delicious and so were the platters.“

“What a find! Not much to look st inside and you might have to wait- but it is awesome! Gets busy at lunchtime“

“We moved here from New York and we LOVE this pizza! It's taken 8 years to find good pizza in LA and we found it in Pasadena. The crust is out of this world and the ingredients are high quality. The sides, including the salad are not only delicious, but they're made with great care. My husband and I feel honored to be there customers.“

“I love maria she is an amazing person AND makes the best veggie breakfast burritos. This is my go-to place for breakfast and if I need a delicious affordable fresh juice I always go here. She also has a great selection of juices,salads, sandwiches and very often homemade delicious soups. Support local small business like this one dtla ❤️“

“The Italian sandwich is full of vibrant flavors with a nice touch of acidity and fresh veggies! Bread has a crips crust and soft texture inside. Also tried the artichoke antipasti and it was delicious! For some reason it was like eating pizza in salad form. Loved the almond cake! Super fragrant!“

“Love this place.“

“I'm 9 To 10 years old the food taste really good in the atmosphere is super nice. I love the Earth core. It's like it's really like it's like really hot. The earth core is really hot in the is really good. I love the service.“

“We love the ambience at gra. And I’m so happy to see more restaurants coming into the many vacant storefronts in this neighborhood. Gra has an incredible vibe. Wonderful service and unbelievably great music. We do wish for two things though. We love traditional full-bodied reds by the glass. They are hard to come by. We also love fresh vegetables, and as much as we love the fermented veggies we’d love to mix it up with more variety. Looking forward to becoming loyal, patrons and exploring this restaurant more.“

“Fresh and delicious, but the employees have attitude“

“This was the best salad yet....saladfarm you are out“

“If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. The chef - Tony is his name, I believe - is one of those rare dedicated and obsessed perfectionists who make every meal an occasion. Koreatown is a neighborhood with no shortage of great restaurants; this simple establishment is one of the best.“
