Salmon was horrible. Overcooked. They are deceptive in that they have a bunch of add on items like salmon for $7.95 or blue cheese for $1.50 but don’t label those items with a price. I’m not going back. It used to be better.

I had a disappointing experience at Sweetgreen recently. While I’ve always appreciated their fresh ingredients and healthy options, this visit was far from ideal. I found a bug in my food, which was both unsettling and unacceptable. I immediately informed the staff, and while they did offer to refund my order, it wasn’t for the full amount. Considering the circumstances, I expected a more thorough resolution. While I understand that mistakes happen, finding a bug in my meal significantly impacted my trust in their quality control. It’s unfortunate because I’ve enjoyed their food in the past, but this experience has left me hesitant to return. Proper handling of customer concerns goes a long way, and in this case, it fell short.

We’ve wanted to try Sweetgreen for a while and they certainly don’t disappoint. I got a custom bowl and the produce is fresh and ethically sourced. They also display their thorough cleaning process of all produce in the open kitchen so you can see/verify how diligent they take care of everything while you order. Sweetgreen also cooks all proteins using only extra virgin olive oil and/or avocado oil. If you’re a healthy foodie like I am, these processes and details in food prep are important. I wish I would’ve taken a picture before we started eating but it was so yummy I couldn’t wait! Definitely coming back here again.

Healthy quick lunch and dinner spot in bustling downtown Sunnyvale next to Trader Joe’s and other shopping venues. This place focuses on healthy bowls and salads that have generous servings and fresh ingredients. The hot honey chicken bowl and basically all their salads are expertly designed and always fresh. We always leave this spot feeling full and happy without being overly heavy and tired like you would feel after eating a cheeseburger somewhere else. They have other healthy drinks such as kombucha and teas! Be aware that this place is highly popular and located in a popular area. This means that you are likely to wait in line for a bit. The wait has never been more than 10 minutes though! The service is fast and you order and get everything at the counter before you sit! Definitely recommended if you’re looking for a healthy lunch option at a decent price. Expect to spend around $15+ per person.

If you’re looking for quick, healthy option for lunch, then this place is for you. You can order one of their featured salads or create your own. I tried the hummus salad and it was really tasty. Portions were generous, too. Service was fantastic- I had a problem with my online order that was due to user error. Lulu, the manager, helped me resolve the problem with a simile. Thank you, Lulu! You made my day!!

I used to be a loyal customer of SWEAT GREEN, visiting at least 2 to 3 times a week, usually for dinner on weekdays. However, this past month, I've noticed that the portion size of their salads has been gradually decreasing. In fact, during my last few visits, I could clearly see a complete ring around the salad bowl, roughly at the middle height, indicating the portion was incredibly small. For a salad bowl priced at $15, this portion size is truly disappointing. As a result, I have decided to cancel my membership subscription.

Waited for 30 mins. Got a rice bowl without rice. The qualify really need to be improved!!!

Used to be a big fan, but starting a few months ago they now nickel and dime you. Like if you just want to replace some of the quinoa in the hot honey chicken bowl with greens, they used to do it cause it’s easy and costs them nothing. Now they have to ring it up as a custom bowl, and the chicken, veg slaw, and warm sweet potatoes are all extra, so it ends up way more expensive. Seriously, sweet potatoes and coleslaw are “premium” toppings?
