Tried out mission salad for lunch today. This place is amazing!! I ordered a few different dishes for people in the office, and every single person loved it. I have been looking for a proper salad place in this area for a while, but had no luck until now. I will definitely be becoming a regular here!
I absolutely love this place!!! I go in once a week and see the same 2 lovely, smiling woman behind the counters. The place is very clean and welcoming. My favorite food item is the Poke bowl with a generous amount of Ahi Tuna. The spicy mayo is extremely creamy and seems like made there daily. I also love they offer different drinks that are not Coke or Pepsi products. They added some soup to the menu which adds something for everyone place. You can tell they put a lot of pride and love into their establishment.
The menu needs some UX attention. I ordered online here. The menus at GrubHub and DoorDash don't have the details so I worked off the menu on the website. It is visually appealing but needs to provide more info.
There was no "dressing on the side" or even "light dressing" options so I assumed dressing came on the side by default. Wrong. My salad is more dressing than anything else. The menu should make it clear and the online systems should streamline the options to make it easy to tailor the salad to the person instead of offering a list of 47 options except the ones that are needed.
The South of the Border salad is so spicy that I could only eat 2 bites and my mouth is still burning 20 mins later. There should be a little pepper symbol or some kind of warning on this. I don't believe this is a reasonable spice level for an average consumer. I just wasted a bunch of money on something I can't eat. I also can't see any of the avocado I added and only found a couple pieces of chicken after poking around.
I think this place is almost there but needs some usability adjustments to make it really work.
Really good salad. The people working kept the place clean between orders. Don’t be fooled when you just see lettuce. Must of the toppings were on the bottom or mixed in which I liked. It makes it easier to put the dressing on the greens. I would definitely come back.
Was so into this place when they opened - now it’s just overpriced salad. I just ordered
today and am so disappointed. I paid $9 for extra chicken and I got (and I’m not being funny this is legit) 3 small chopped chunks of chicken. I asked for mixed in dressing - nope. Asked for dressing on the side, nope. Just an all around overpriced disappointment. I mean $25 for one sad salad…. I’m better off making my own.
