Ordered chipotle steak bowl. The till person was very nice but didn’t know what drinks were included with the combo deal? First bite of the meat was just a large piece of cartilage or something - really gross. Tried another bite without the meat and the beans tasted ‘past date’ or something. We were grabbing a ferry, so no chance to return it - it got tossed in the trash. On the other hand, my wife liked her cobb salad.

Got the Berry best deal today and got their Berry salad that should have balsamic vinegar dressing. I asked the lady about the dressing before leaving and said it was put with the salad. It didn't really taste like it had any dressing for it neing with dressing I upgraded to regular size and found it could of used more of the fruit as well Overall it did taste really good aside from it not having much for dressing and more fruit I'll definitely return though (first time going)

I am so in love with this place. The food tastes good, but even better it feels good. It’s all genuinely fresh. One of the only cost friendly, quick, and healthy options here in Nanaimo. Service is also incredible, all of the staff members have served me with excellent customer service each time I’ve come in. Thank you and please don’t change 😭

Freshii went above and beyond to assist us with meals for our group of nine, visiting from the mainland for a team work retreat. The meals we pre-selected were thoughtfully labeled with our names on the lids, ensuring everyone received their correct order. The food was fresh and delicious. We arranged for a taxi to pick up the meals from Freshii and deliver them to our hotel, and the Freshii staff were more than happy to accommodate this request. Highly recommend!

Just had dinner and it was delicious. I had the lemongrass soup with chicken. So good! Very flavourful and enough for lunch tomorrow. My husband had the vegan Buddha bowl and loved it. The two staff that served us are so friendly, they are why we go back time and again. I’m getting their names next time for a proper mention. The food is very good and the staff are outstanding!

My experience at Freshii was truly exceptional. Sunny served me with incredibly fresh and delicious food, and Manpreet's guiding service towards deciding the meal was top-notch.

Clean and neatly organized place. Dropped by after gym and enjoyed food a lot. They also had a smoothie with protein for me. Exactly what I needed 😀 Manpreet and Sunny were super friendly and patient while I was deciding on my meal for a while. Warm and great service with nice healthy food and drinks. Recommend to stop by after gym.

Ordered off skip for my lunch. They never sent my elixir or Tortilla soup. My 40 salad was small, extra items added were missing and to top it off, the greens were spoiled. All black and soggy Lettuce. Never again will I order from here.

Very home cooked type of food. I ordered the Chipotle Cheddar Burrito. It did not have tomatoes or cheese as listed it would. Very very minimal toppings, I even added toppings. 75 - 80% heavenly filled with rice. I ended up eating just the toppings on a plate and the rest will be a lost. The chicken was nicely cooked i will add. I just feel rice should not be the bulk of a burrito but thats just me.

★★★★★

Vegetarian options: Awesome food for vegetarians , one of my favorite was Tomato soup, but I cant select one because you have unlimited food options. Highly recommended Parking: Availability of parking Kid-friendliness: Great place to visit with family and kids sooo spacious

Visited Freshii for the first time. Looking to accommodate a vegetarian as well as a keto diet can be challenging. We selected two Cobb salads, one with chicken, hold the corn on both. Staff were friendly and patient. We found the ingredients fresh and plentiful, however, the greek yogurt ranch dressing was a disappointment. Thirty dollars for two salads will take some getting used to (incl 10% tip). Will return to sample more of the menu.

This is by far our new favorite place to eat, portion sizes are big, they always greet you with a smile and are so friendly. The spicy peanut sauce is amazing, I would absolutely pay for just the sauce! Its that good. I cant remember what the gentlemans name was that served us the 2 times but he needs a raise! Brought us water when we didnt even ask, thats how you go above and beyond, thanks for the great food and great service, definitely see you soon.

Employees spend too much time talking, take too long making the food and got my order wrong. If someone is paying 10 bucks for a wrap make sure to get it right.

The bottle drink was refreshing but the kale salad was horrid. It was flavorless and dry and it was almost all quinoa and big chunks of cheese. A little less like a salad. That was I was expecting I was hoping for more greens and fresh crispy flavorful refreshing kind of a salad it was blah and big and heavy. I will not go there again. Staff was friendly.

Freshii should have fresh lettuce. Brown edges, limp and a mouthful of mold is just wrong! The previous time it was limp but this was awful. The Island is famous for fresh produce - maybe a place called Freshii should have some. Too bad but I m done!

I am really disappointed to post this review because I love the freshii in Victoria.

Ordered two mango smoothies, a chipotle chicken bowl and a Buddha Burrito. Total was ~$46, with tip was $50. The bowl had zero sauce was half filled; the smoothies were tasteless (mostly ice/water); the wrap was tasty, but poorly put together (fell apart when opened). We were very excited about a Freshii opening in Nanaimo and were looking forward to making it a part of a rotation for quick and healthy food. Unfortunately with our bad experience we aren t going to be motivated to return anytime soon. Hopefully the longer it stays open, the more opportunity there will be to resolve some of these issues.
