The Chopped Leaf

Have eaten here several times and was throughly disappointed today…
For starters the garbage bags left lying on the floor by the till was a big turn off. The staff also kept a very messy workspace behind the till. I’m not sure if it went under new ownership but very disappointed in the cleanliness of the place.
The food was alright but it’s hard to screw up a salad roll, however on that not I’ve had much better from here before.
Not sure if I’ll be back after this experience. With the dirty and messy atmosphere and the sub-​par food I’m better off going elsewhere.

I like the concept of this place, it’s supposed to be a fresh fast food place. I would give the place 3.5 if I could give half star ratings!
I don’t think they have anything outstanding on the menu, sandwiches, wraps, soups, etc. Everything sounds pretty healthy and green though.
I tried the sandwich and the soup here, and they were both pretty good but a bit on the pricey side.
I would go back if I am ever in the mood for eating a healthy sandwich/​wrap and soup, and don’t mind dropping some extra money versus eating cheap sandwich and soup at Timmies around the corner.

The Chopped leaf makes eating healthy a breeze! Not only are the menu items extremely delicious they are also absolutely nutritious!
This place literally has the best salads in the world! I’m never one to choose a salad on a menu but after trying the Popeye salad I can’t wait to come back!
Be sure to visit before or after the 12:30pm lunch rush!

After a recommendation from one of the mom’s in my community, I thought I would finally try this place out. Drove by it a million times but just never had the urge to try it.
I assumed it was one of those «hippie places» and they didn’t serve allot or any meat and this is one of the main reason’s it never interested me. Was I wrong. They do have allot of veggie options as well as gluten free options, however they also have chicken and tuna. A bit of everything for everyone, including a kids menu.
After looking at the board to see what caught my eye, I realized they have great options and healthy food choices. Mental note, next time I am craving a burger that I dont need — come here instead.
I tried the BBQ chicken quesadilla and it was delicious. It’s your typical quesadilla however it also had mushrooms and hot peppers which was very flavourful and gave it a unique kick for lunch. At just under $ 10, I would say this is more than reasonable for lunch.
Staff was friendly and food was made quick. Waited less than 10 minutes and worth it. Food was great.
They have a great menu and I will be back again since I really want to try one of the whole bowls I heard about.

Eating out can be very unhealthy and I love finding somewhere where you can eat out and still have a ton of healthy options! This place is great and they have tons of vegan and gluten free options.
I got the Bangkok salad with prawns, which was filled with lettuce, cilantro, crispy noodles, peanuts, and a delicious spicy dressing. I also had a small spicy sweet potato soup, which was also amazing. Everything here is so fresh and you can tell is made with quality ingredients. They have filtered water with fresh fruit in it, which adds some nice flavour!
The staff is super friendly and bubbly. I only wish this place was closer to me, but I don’t mind driving a little to get some yummy salads, soups, and wraps!

good. southwestern wrap was decent 9 $ for a wrap is kinda ridickudonks. NEed more salads though so its great to find a place with bowls of healthy fresh vegetables

Love the salads and wraps. highly recommend if you are looking for a light meal
Awesome. …

The Mexican place was too busy and the Chinese place sucks so we went to the chopped leaf.
I had the chopped salad. The price was good. The salad came right away. I ate it. It was good. I was happy about it. It gave me a good feeling similar to getting a good checkup at the dentist.
It was really healthy. Especially since we had to park a mile away because the parking lot sucks.

I like The Chopped Leaf! It’s both wholesome and superb!
Tried:
Whole Bowl No.2 with Chicken — it’s got brown basmati rice with spinach, roasted pecans. chick peas, sundried cranberries, carrots, cucubers and tahli sauce — Very, very good; combines a fresh spinach salad with basmati rice and chicken with this tahli sauce.
Pesto Quesadilla — comes with chicken, peppers, pesto, cheddar in a warm tortilla — comes with salsa and ranch sauce. So ooey and gooey and so good! Love it with the sals and the ranch sauce. I’ve never had quesadilla with ranch sauce ever!
Soup — Thai Curry Soup — Nice blend of flavours — curry, carrots, ginger — these are what I can taste.
Spicy Chicken Sandwich — chicken, chipotle aioli, mushrooms, onions, cheddar & romaine on toasted multgrain bread — Very good sandwich.
Prawn Salad Rolls — Very good and fresh — 1 order comes with 3 rolls
I would definitely like to try The Chopped Leaf again!

Great food, very tasty salads that are actually interesting and delicious. It gets quite pricey though. Ive found the service to be very inconsistent. Mistakes have been made, and they can be soul crushingly slow sometimes (even when the place is empty) but very concise and quick others.

This place is wonderful! My sister and I are obsessed with it! The rice bowls are delicious and the Bangkok salad is my favourite! So good!!!

Carnivores like me need to eat leaves occasionally too.
I like the idea of the Chopped Leaf and truly adore the Chopped Water.
The cashier fella seemed inept and needed help ringing in a drink after the main order was placed. Table runner was in and out fast so I guess thats what I expected. Service a 4 by 5.
Now. I do have a propensity to enjoying my salads lightly dressed, so I have to weigh that in here. I ordered the Pegasus (Greek) salad and for me it was WAY over dressed to the extent I couldn’t finish it. The dressing was actually very tasty mind you, just way too much for my liking. I had to also remove a few wilted black leaves, and being their core ingredient in their brand name I expected immaculate lettuce. Too much black and yellow in the color array.
My entrée salad was balanced out with the Prawn salad rolls. Staying true to their core theme, the salad rolls were vermicelli free.
My wife really enjoyed her Southwest salad.
Overall I would try here again but order dressing on the side. (Control freak!) Food experience 3 by 5 and hoping for better on my next try.

Love this place… Bangkok salad with prawns is delish.

This place is awesome!
I had read some reviews online about Chopped Leaf before I finally decided to check it out for myself. I’m on the Wild Rose Detox right now, so I wasn’t sure if I would be able to eat anything, but I gave it a chance. The idea here is you can create your own salads, wraps, or rice bowls with the numerous options they offer. Or, you can simply order one of their creations and customize it to your liking.
I saw that they were offering a Vegetarian Chili that day, but I wanted to double check what was in it (I cant have mushrooms, among other things) and I was pleasantly surprised to find they have a small flip book at the register with all the menu options and ingredients inside! This was super handy in helping us pick out a salad dressing we could have as well, as vinegar is a no-​no. We each ordered a chili, and a salad with chicken, tomatoes, nuts, and apples with the Chipotle Lime dressing. I was also hoping to have some of their Chopped Water (which was Grapefruit, Pineapple, and Melon infused that day) but unfortunately I wasn’t allowed any of those fruits. Looked delicious though, and the refills are free!
Our meal was a little pricey, but worth it. Very generous portions and delicious, fresh food. We were able to chat with the owner briefly and you could tell she was very passionate about what she does. She wasn’t annoyed with all of my questions and substitution requests. The atmosphere is casual, but classy — no fast food ambiance here. I also really love the dishes they use!
I will definitely return to Chopped Leaf as it’s close to my house and a lovely alternative to most quick service restaurants. I love the healthy options and the chili really hit the spot. The only negative was parking in that area can be tricky. Otherwise, I’m definitely a fan!

Back again for my salad fix within just a few days!
One word — BANGKOK! You have to try this salad! Noodly, salady cilantroey goodness, fully loaded with ‘stuff!‘
I opted for prawns this time as my protein — well executed. Wow!
I got to meet the owner of this franchise (started in Kelowna, only as far east as Regina. New one opening in Airdrie in Dec!!!)
The owner was so nice to talk to, very down to earth! She loves the Spa salad That will be my next order! Not sure if I can wait another 3 days, good thing I live close-​by! :)

I kinda stalked chopped leaf while they were building as the concept really spoke to me. Healthy food on a chef designed menu which took flavor profiles into consideration so it feels like a real treat. Their moto is even «feel good after you eat» Yes please! Best part? Vegan and gluten free conscious — not tolerant with an item or two — it’s basically catering to them without alienating all the regular folks. Amazing. I was telling my sister in grand prairie about the place and I found out she already had one — what?! What took so long Calgary … seriously!
My love goes on for this place. First off, they go organic and local wherever possible without crossing the line into the insane costs putting the price point into unattainable except for some people or on some occasions. So far they are doing a good job because I’m loving their price point. It’s an «every day» price point pretty much if that’s what you’d consider a place like McDonalds. It’s a definite alternative to cooking (many items couldn’t be cooked at home that cheaply with fresh ingredients) without sacrifice to health. You do need to be careful though, sometimes the calorie info is a shocker like the full bowls. They are fiancé’s favorites but they have a lot of fat and that makes the calories rise quickly.
The space is casual but classy. The staff and owners are very welcoming and nice. You order at the till and then the food is delivered to your table in china bowls like sit down place. You can also do take out and or catering.
My favorites are the bowls (but there is a lot of eating, and the fat is high), the salad rolls (they use basil and they are so fresh tasting), and the soups. I love that there is a vegan soup each day and then one more (and it’s often vegetarian too…). The grilled tofu can be added to any meal and I find it actually tastes like smoked gouda in some ways. I’ve even ordered this on the side and eaten it plain (I would rarely do that with tofu). The only food complaints are a general dislike of the chopped shakes but they are a nifty idea. I’ve also made up some rather gross wraps for myself but I think that was me choosing things that don’t work well together.
Chopped water here is interesting. They let fruit infuse into their water (a special combo each day) and you get a subtle kick to your water. It’s $ 1.50 or for $ 16 you can get a refillable cup that’s got free refills for life. You still have to remember the cup… and we’ve already broken one but I still think it comes out ahead so far and more so if you consider the lack of wasted cups. They also have a membership program — spend $ 150 over time and get $ 10. It certainly helps if they manage to convert you here.
At the moment my only criticism is the hours. They were only open until 7pm (although I noticed they bumped Thurs/​Fri to 8 recently). I’m hoping for a bit longer hours but one of the owners promised it would come with time as they establish better.

The food here is absolutely fantastic. The first time we went, my fiancée and I both enjoyed our Bowl #2s. The tahini sauce on the rice really allowed all the flavours in the rice, fresh vegetables and pecans to pop. I had chicken for my protein, while she had tofu. My chicken was well cooked and juicy, while her tofu was flavourful. We had chopped waters, essentially a chilled, weak fruit stock that changes from day to day, which were light, delicious and refreshing. They are $ 3 a piece unless you buy a Chopped Leaf cup, in which case they are always free, but even at the $ 3 price point, totally worth it. We went back a second time and I had a Bowl #1, while to her delight, my fiancée enjoyed a vegan sweet potato soup. Vegan/​vegetarian soup is particularly hard to find as most stocks use chicken, beef, or fish bones for flavour, so we quite appreciated that it was there and that it was yummy. She had salad rolls, one of which I sampled which were surprisingly minty, which was nice. The next time we went back, we both had wraps, delicious again. They use fresh, local ingredients whenever possible, and you can taste the difference. Their dishes are quick, but all land very well on the palate, and are mercifully lacking in the salad texture present in other wraps. If you are watching your weight, you’re better off getting the Bowl #1 and building your own wrap, as some of their dressings can be quite high in fat, but certainly go check out this amazing place.
