The Chopped Leaf is making the world greener, one salad at a time.
Summary:
You are paying for convenience and a vegan to make your food.
Experience:
My friend and I went to grab a bite to eat right before a concert. I ordered the Sunshine wrap and he ordered a Spicy Chicken sandwich. The two orders took them about 10 minutes to put together, which we found odd since there was only 1 other table (already served) and 2 people in line behind us.
I found my Sunshine wrap to be quite delicious, although I did feel like I could've made it at home for cheaper. My friend took a bite of his sandwich and said "where's the chicken?" He, then, proceeded to open up his sandwich only to find that the chicken was thinner than the cashier who rung our order in. That's when I said to him "I bet a vegan made your sandwich".
Conclusion:
Next time I’m going to Nuba. I’d walk further and shell out for Nuba way before I come back to Chopped Leaf again; that is, if I do return at all.
Recently came across this restaurant and understand it is newly opened recently. Being just opened I will give it a few breaks as must be working out the kinks still. Upon entering there was a very pleasant young man who welcomed me and explained the menu (nice personal touch!). I ordered a small size salad and for me that was just right. Liked how the salad is mixed in a bowl with the dressing so it is all coated. Had some nice crunchy pita and croutons on it too. Tried a soup and it was really yummy and tasty and it also had some real great croutons on it (like homemade ones I make). The young man who brought me my salad seemed bit lost finding me and even though I ordered to eat in restaurant it came in disposable containers (didn't like that). The fellow who greeted me came over and asked how I liked the salad apologized for the mix up and said normally they are in white bowls (I saw one next to me and made salad look very appealing).
Bit pricer for salad but considering they actually make it fresh for you and ingredients looked fresh and good quality it likely is worth the price as nothing quite like this any where in Van. that I know of.
Plan to return and try some of the other salads esp. ones that pick ingredients yourself, dressings, etc.
What a unique idea to have water that has fresh fruit floating in it (tasted good when chewed on a piece of watermelon and for $1 better than bottled water I figure.
Hope this restaurant makes it as unique idea.
I agree, it's nice to see a healthy option in the area. Their soups are delicious as well, however their wraps and salads are mediocre at best. The idea is that your pick a protein and a few types of veggies for your salad or wrap, the variety is good, they even have seafood as an option. The problem however is that they are very chintzy with the toppings, for instance if you choose tofu as your protein they put 3-4 small cubes of tofu on top of your salad. The wraps all sound really nice but they never have enough sauce in the wrap thus making it a very dry wrap. I only go here for soup, I'd rather go to salad loop just down the street on Hamilton & Robson for some flavour.
