Take away(only) shop provides big, fresh and healthy salads. Although you can’t «make your own» salad from scratch(which is a bit of a nuisance), they allow you to make«2 substitutes» after picking 1 of their 8 salad choices as a base. The women who run it are also nice and accommodating, so will try to help. I started with the Cobb salad but asked to hold the bacon and blue cheese, replacing carrots and another half hard boiled egg. It came to 82hkd, which is a lot for a salad, but the salad boxes have some serious weight to them after they are done packing in all of the fresh ingredients and they don’t skimp on the protein(chicken, steak, etc) at all. I’m ok with the big size, but can imagine many would prefer a smaller option size, as it’s a lot to finish, and rules this place out when looking for just an accompanying side to something else like a sandwich. After months of not having the«mixed greens» option, now it seems that their«mixed greens» is just a combination of kale and romaine, not the mesclun mix most would expect. Overall, I like this place and it’s a good option for a healthy lunch, but I just wish they could handle people ordering a make-their-own salad, instead of trying to figure out which salad is closest to what they want and then trying to figure out the substitutes.

They do a great job a delivering reasonably priced salads. The staff is friendly and more than willing to substitute certain items at no cost. I highly recommend the pesto dressing.

Ignore the fact that this looks like a hole in the wall. It is my favorite salad place in HK hands down. Made to order, fresh, generous portions of salad and of the various accoutrements(options to substitute things you don’t like with things you do). Add to all this super friendly staff and they’re open til 9:30pm, and we have a winner!

This is a take away salad joint. Plain and simple. So as it pertains to the category of «take away salad joints», this place is absolutely a 5 star Unilocal option. Salad as a main meal is not quite as main stream here in Hong Kong as it is in the US, so I feel like this was a hidden salad gem in a sea of a non-salad consuming society. Per my request having picked up a menu when we walked by last week, my husband brought me home a Cobb Salad, romaine lettuce based with the addition of black olives for about $ 100HKD. Now I know the $ 100HKD seems steep, I realize that. But I seek out fresh green vegetables at every single meal I consume and for $ 100HKD, I got exactly what I wanted… in the form of a great salad no less. This salad was huge(based on Hong Kong standards). Such a great portion and really a phenomenal cobb salad. The grilled chicken was seasoned really well, you get many regular sized slices of avacado and everything was super fresh. My husband said you see the person making your salad right there when you order it. Fresh, crisp, cold, well seasoned and tasty… all solid check marks for a great salad. I absolutely know I will have my husband bring home another salad for my dinner on his way home from work sometime again soon.
