33 Best Salad Restaurants in Santa Monica

“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.“

“Amazing chicken. Simply delicious.“

“THE PORTIONS ARE HUGE!

Had to say that first because we order so much food ha!

Their waffle fries are amazing! Dare I say better than Chick-Fil-A!

They don’t have many gluten free options. According to the others, the bread just tasted like regular white bread. The cream and strawberry sandwich was not magical. This one was out of stock of many of the food and drink items.

I will say try the strawberry milk!! So good!
Not much seating except outside and one or two tables inside.

I see an image on here where they have more tables inside against the orange wall, they are no longer there.

Bathrooms were locked even when we asked them to use them.

You get a good value for money when it comes to the portion sizes. Not sure I’ll go back but was worth the try ?

Parking: A few paid street parking spots“

“Health Nut is always a must when I am in southern california. I love the Santa Monica location, the restaurant is always clean, the employees are friendly and the food comes out quick. The tuna panini with a side of tomato bisque is my go to order, with the noodlerama as a close second. The sandwich is delicious every time, my only note is that the tomato soup could be a little less oily and more creamy. Overall a great place to stop for a quick bite to eat, either dine in (nice outdoor patio) or to-go.

Vegetarian options: Highly recommend the Tufu Noodlerama

Dietary restrictions: They have many great options for people with dietary restrictions and will easily swap out ingredients/dressings when possible.“

“I love Mixt! They have a great selection of salads and it's very convenient to order through their app. The portions are very generous, and the salads are very fresh and flavorful. Price is what you would expect, but I think it's worth it for the quality of the food.“

“Salads prepared to order with fresh ingredients.You can choose a salad from the menu or create your own with whatever ingredients you fancy.Mine was very good. I had the mustard sauce which was excellent.The salad is huge.The person who looked after me was friendly and helped me choose.I recommend.“

“It was our first visit and Asia kindly explained the mission and answered our questions patiently. What a great mission to provide affordable and accessible healthy food to all. We got two entrees and a snack, and everything tasted amazing!“

“The staff here were so kind! I came in very close to closing (I know - I just hadn’t eaten all day ?) and they were still lovely. DD took his time putting my order together and made sure I got as many as possible of the toppings that I wanted, despite some of the stock having run out for the day. Thank you guys for a positive experience - I appreciate it!“

“The portion of the pizza was very large. We were both very hungry. We ordered a medium portion and worried that it would not be enough. When the pizza was ready, I was shocked. Never seen such a big pizza. The taste is also decent and I am very satisfied.“

“So friendly! So great! So yummy! The Spicy Cold Tofu special is amazing! �����“

“Good food and healthy. Friendly manager and good service ❤️“

“Definitely recommended. You can eat here for a month and never have the same thing twice. Great menu, a ton of choices, big servings and their deserts are addicting. Bomb.,

Vegetarian options: My partner is vegetarian and she loves this place.“

“Glad Hurry Curry has reopened after closing their Sawtelle location. if you are new and don't know what to order, try the chicken cutlet curry and the Chicken pasta with Alfredo sauce. The curry is bold and savory. make sure to request picked vegetables for the curry. the chicken pasta is also rich and savory. both dishes complement each other without repeating the same experience. the portions are large so bring friends or bring home plenty of portions for leftovers.“

“Had a Beyond Burger for the first time. I’m not a vegetarian but found it tasty! And great fries!“

“Ordered soup for pickup. I got the vegetable soup and it was absolutely delicious. Wonderful broth and completely full of vegetables. It was ready very quickly. Plenty of parking.

Okay just need to update. I've had the soup several times and each time it is served with delicious rye bread which I cannot have as I'm gluten-free. I mentioned that this time on my online order. Fromins countered with two large pieces of delicious gluten-free rye bread. So this now means I can have the sandwiches that I've been drooling over... Yay! Game changer.“

“Stopped on Wilshire Boulevard for another reason, we had the opportunity to see the locals crowding in front of this restaurant. Even a policeman stopped to get something to eat. What better than the inhabitants of a city to guide us towards the Grail?

We then tried the salads, the wraps as well as their roast chicken, and to our greatest surprise, it was exquisite, and ready in 5 minutes.

Generous, well supplied and qualitative. All for a reasonable price compared to what you can find in Los Angeles.

I recommend the “California Chicken Salad”. Broccoli, peppers, cherry tomatoes, crumbled goat cheese, grated carrots, chiffonade salad, avocado & the sauce that goes with it… A killer. All ingredients are high quality. It totally matches our French standards.

Even the kitchen is visible from the outside with glazing, you can see the cleanliness and impeccable storage inside. Friendly staff, which contrasts with the usual American nonchalance of other competing fast food servers.

It is with great joy that we will return during a potential next trip to L.A, and that we will recommend this gem to our loved ones. Go headlong into it, really!“

“Nick the Greek in Santa Monica, located at 219 Arizona Avenue, delivers authentic Greek flavors with exceptional service. Dishes like Gyro Plates, Souvlaki, and their signature Baklava are crowd favorites, consistently praised for their freshness and taste. The Greek Fries and frozen yogurt with honey are also standout items. Customers frequently highlight the friendly, attentive staff, who elevate the overall experience. With outdoor seating and efficient takeout options, this spot is perfect for a casual yet satisfying meal .“

“Nestled within the vibrant community of The Shores, The Cafe beckons with promises of culinary delights and warm hospitality. Intrigued by its reputation for fusion cuisine and cozy ambiance, I recently embarked on a gastronomic journey to uncover the treasures hidden within.I had the chance to try their new item Kimchi Fried Rice Bowl, I was immediately transported to a realm of savory bliss. The rich umami flavors of the kimchi mingled harmoniously with the hearty goodness of the fried rice, creating a symphony of tastes that danced upon my palate. Each forkful offered a delightful contrast of textures—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside—and left me craving more with every bite. The addition of perfectly cooked vegetables added a refreshing touch, while the subtle heat of the kimchi provided a satisfying kick that lingered pleasantly on the tongue.“

“Stopped in for a late night bite and was recommended the Lasagna. Let me start off by saying WOW ? not only is it homemade like Mom’s but the noodles are cooked to perfection and the sauce and cheese are bursting with flavor! Can’t wait to come back and try the pizza next time. Overall rating 10/10!“

“Loved the happy vegan bowl.“

“Excellent food and highest recommendation! Francis was a great server! When I return back to Santa Monica I will return back here and try other items.“

“Portobello Char was very good and the French fries were good too. Soda? Sure, it was good as well. I’d come back if I were in the area.“

“The food here is always so good, fresh, and juicy sandwiches. I love the freshly made lemonades mixed with other essential fruits to make it crisp. Don't let the seating from the outside fool you. There's plenty of seating inside and in the back. Worth sitting down and eating instead of grabbing a lunch and being on the go. Give yourself a break.My friend and I were looking for a place to eat in Santa Monica and as soon as we saw Mendocino farms, we both said... Even though it's a chain the restaurant, it's a good one. And it is a good one. Prices are reasonable. I got the chicken caprese sandwich And they doused it with balsamic vinegar which made it so juicy. They are service dog friendly. I appreciate that. During lunch hours, they should have more cashiers, or more help in general. I felt the 15 minute line to place my order was a bit long for lunch hour, I went at 1:00 p.m., and then we waited another 15 minutes for our sandwiches to come out. It's probably better to place your order online, go in and pick it up, then sit down and eat it. It's probably more efficient. However, I like having the offline experience. I kind of like having the human interaction. But the staff was friendly. It was just slow.“

“Nothing special about the atmosphere but they keep a pretty clean place. The lunch special is awesome.... especially in santa monica. $11 after taxes for a personal pizza, a good fresh brothers salad and your drink of choice. I've seen a lot of turnover with staffing but everyone they hire seems to value customer service. This is the place for our Wednesday lunches.“

“Friendly atmosphere and excellent food!“

“Really tasty Italian place! I love their sauce. So many good chicken dishes, and the Arancini appetizer (lightly fried rice balls with mozzarella, ground beef in tomato sauce) are ridiculously good! And the Spumoni Bamba (Neapolitan ice cream dessert ball wrapped in chocolate!) Sorry I’m drooling now! And 1/2 price Mondays!!! Say what!!??? (I shouldn’t have told you!) Really good food!“

“My friend and I came here for dinner. There is seating outdoors with heaters but we chose to sit inside.

We shared the Warm Spinach Salad with jumbo shrimp. The shrimp was cooked perfectly!! This salad was delicious!

We also shared the Mushroom Ravioli in the mushroom sauce. This too, was out of this world tasty!

For dessert, we shared the Apple Tart with a dollup of whip cream. This was a slice of heaven

Service was good.
I will definitely return to Rosti Tuscan Kitchen again.

Parking lot in the back, but when we arrived it was full, so we parked on the side street.“
