The Salad Junkie - Staten Island

Great options and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Extremely expensive. I paid $29 for (5) $3 Empanadas and a spicy chicken salad in a tortilla shell. Geesh. What makes it worse is the cilantro dressing has no flavor and the spicy chicken isn’t spicy. Definitely not worth the price. Should be $15 tops.

This restaurant used to be a fresh lunch option, but unfortunately, their quality has deteriorated significantly. Most of the staff are indifferent or even rude, with only a few exceptions. Some employees appear unkept or dirty, and there are concerns about proper hygiene practices, such as a delivery person handling food without washing their hands. The dining area is often dirty, with sticky floors and poorly maintained tables. The food quality has also decreased, with many items tasting stale, including the empanadas. Prices have gone up, yet the quality and consistency of the food have not improved. It seems that the restaurant may be intentionally changing orders frequently, either to deceive customers or simply because they don't care about providing a positive dining experience.

I found a large roach in my salad at this restaurant. The staff were not very accommodating when refunding my money. I do not recommend eating here.

The service was very disappointing. The person preparing my salad filled it up mostly with lettuce and only added a few cucumbers. I was supposed to get 5 toppings but didn't receive them. Despite being told that everything was an additional charge, very little was actually added to the salad besides lettuce. It was not a pleasant experience.
