We did the take out and all dishes we ordered were good. Unbelievable vegan dishes. Loved it 🥰
Ive only been at lunch and its super busy, hard to enjoy the atmosphere. But the employees are great, friendly and patient- they dont rush you. I love ordering on the app and picking up my food with no additional charge ! Brilliant option!! Also the cinnamon toast cookie is what the sugar plum fairy’s dreams are made of!
Absolutely adored their Mad Ceasar salad! I also added avocado to it. Their dressings are fantastic, not your average dressing for sure. And their bowls feature a decent amount of chicken. To honest, with their interesting types of I gradients, well flavoured proteins and fast service, I can't think of a healthier meal option downtown Ottawa! I had been going to Mad Radish quite a bit when they first opened and I used to work downtown, but being back this time, I have to say their menu has significantly improved!!! If you haven't ever been or haven't been back in a while and you're into healthy 'fast' meals, I highly highly recommend this place. $13.99 for a bowl with protein and these types of ingredients is reasonable (note: avocado is extra).
I visited recently during my lunch break and was pleasantly surprised. This was my first time going in despite having walked by it many times over the last few years. There was no lineup when I entered, and I was able to order right away. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the menu had a wide variety of healthy options to choose from. They also serve halal which was nice to see. I will definitely be back.
The piri piri chicken bowl was really great. I loved it. I got the green smoothie which I was not a fan of. The smoothie was 9 dollars for a pretty small amount. The atmosphere was very good and the service was just fine.
Really chill restaurant. Feels almost like a cafe that serves food. Great salad bowls and wrap options with customizable options and my other current favorite is the fish and chips. Real crispy and flavourful. There's also music with a good selection playing in the background on most days and no I haven't requested yet but maybe if you ask nicely you can. Super friendly and helpful workers and if recommend this place of you're trying to grab lunch and maybe work off there after. They're very allowing with that and I've been there a good amount of times and always want to come back.
Flavours are really good, bowls are filling but still feel healthy after!! Workers are really nice :) Portuguese custard tart was really runny though, needs to solidify more when baking. Lots of compostable packaging but there was only a compost and recycling bin I think, and the custard tart tin didn’t belong in either.
First time at this location, good food always staff is fast and attentive for the price not bad at all. Today I tried the Santa Fe bowl delicious. My only complaints is if staff pick up trash off the floor they should wash their hands and change their gloves before pursuing help to the next customer hygiene is key. Also staff should ask if customer wants a receipt.
Great food
Excellent Santa Fe Bowl. Friendly staff and quick service 5/5!!! Bravo!
Burritos are amazing!!
BEST salads and smoothies. Love this place.
healthy and delicious bolws downtown
Amazing fresh delicious bowls! Clean counter area to sit at and eat a winner!
Came for lunch and got the Piri Piri bowl. Overall the quality and flavor was great, I found the portion of chicken to be on the small side but the portion of everything else in the bowl was perfect. Still a great salad on the whole and while its on the pricey side (though standard with somewhere like green rebel) I think the value, flavor, quality were there to justify it.
Good food and kind service, thank you Mad Radish!
I love this place. Great tasting and very healthy food. Just stay away from the churros - they are very addictive. Vegetarian options: I really their crispy taco salad
Food was fantastic.
My favourite place for lunch !!! Delicious vegan options that hit the spot
Always great service and wonderful food!
I had a bowl and it was pretty good. If I could change something about it, I would put a bit less green salad and and a bit more of the other ingredients!
Great place, great staff!
The food tastes good but the serving size is almost half of a Mucho Burrito bowl for the same price and its mostly rice and lettuce. Only a very small amount of chicken just 4 little peices not even a full serving and a few peices of mango. For the same price get a much bigger bowl with better portions at Mycho Burrito. Otherwise the service was good and the food tastes good.
I love this place! The food is healthy and great, the price is great too!
Great food and a beautiful place!
Incredible staff, welcoming, friendly and great at giving suggestions. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxed and modern. Excellent!!! Vegetarian options: Lots if vegetarian options, as well as vegan, halal, and gluten free!! Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly- lots of fun treats!
Many tasty choices and delicious desserts. The rosemary bread is awesome!
This is my first time back at Mad Radish since returning to the office post-pandemic (I was a regular before), and my second review of the place. I had to write another today, because my experience was so good! Service was quick and super friendly, which it always is. I asked for a lunch recommendation as its been a while, and was recommended the Piri Piri Chicken Bowl. Total knockout of a bowl - absolutely delicious sauce, crunchy, tasty, fresh, satisfying ingredients and a good portion. The girl that made it for me and rang me up at the cash was so friendly. You cant help but notice and appreciate when lunch comes with a genuine smile! I remember now why I loved this place so much. Ill definitely be back.
The perfect place to grab a bite. Everything I ve had from their menu is always so fresh and tasty. The atmosphere is so welcoming and chill. If you haven t been yet please do, it ll be your new favorite!!
The Santa Fe bowl was excellent! Fresh and tasty. The bad part: I had the Cookies and Cream cookie and I COULD NOT eat it. It tasted very bad. Almost like this sweet cookie had sage? Eat the bowls, stay away from the cookies!
Very good place for flexitarian diets. The coconut curry corn chowder is to die for. Great vegan alternatives. It s all new and clean, very pleasant to go to. The vegan brownie is great but their cookies were absolutely horrible I tried all of them and they all tasted off. The rest has never disappointed me. Love their branding and marketing. Edit: I completely forgot to mention the staff. I was very well received everytime and could ask questions about items and get answers.
My first 2 visits were exceptional, the best tofu texture Ive had, good atmosphere, great service, sustainable packaging, great outdoor area, etc., but todays experience left to be desired. The smaller portion bowl ($10 instead of $15) was tiny (smallest soup size?), had only 3 ingredients (tofu was chewy, roasted broccoli was cold), the staff was somewhat sluggish and not paying attention to who was in charge of the cash. Im fairly certain the person after me left without paying. Definitely would recommend the full-size bowls and the lime tofu (as opposed to piri piri tofu). Vegetarian options: Superior vegetarian/vegan fast food Dietary restrictions: Excellent for healthy diets, low-carb diet, gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan.
Food was the best and the service was remarkable
Just finished my bowl from max radish and it was to die for!!!! So delicious and the service was EXTREMELY quick. It s going to be difficult to visit any other locations because the staff at this location was so kind and helpful (shoutout Elissa). Can t wait to come back again!
I never wait in line for long, the crew is very amazing and professional, and the best thing is whatever dish you choose you will want to come for more.
So many good options. Would definitely come back again for the amazing customer service and Smoking Gun bowl.
Food was delicious! I will definitely be returning and the service was great! Alyssa was very friendly and helped me decide what worked with my dietary restrictions!
Best place ever! Such friendly employees and great food
Best location I have been to by far! Great service and the Santa Fe bowl is absolutely amazing
Had the coconut curry chowder and it was the saddest soup. Not thick or creamy, hardly any flavour, one small slice of mushroom and 3 niblets of corn. So disappointing for a +$9 soup. Tim hortons soup would have been a million times better. Wish I took a picture of how sad it was. Bowls are good but soup was very bad.
I went in there for takeout and settled on a Barranquilla bowl. Food was great and service was fast! I was pretty hungry, however, and I found that the portion was less than I was hoping for. Perhaps as a suggestion, you might consider offering a large version of the bowl? Regardless, Ill certainly be going back.
Gio gave great service! The Mad Caesar salad was delicious.
I frequent here several times a week because the food is consistently so fresh and delicious, and the staff are always friendly and professional. Great job to the whole team that works here for doing an amazing job everyday that keep bringing people like me back for more.
Staff is very friendly and you get your order pretty fast.Thanks!
Very good quality , nice service
Founders donated 200$ to the convoy that s blockading downtown Ottawa. Silver lining is they probably lost ALOT of money in revenue having to close down this branch because of the convoy they were so eager to support
Surprised by the huge variety and combination of the salad bowl. Had a very satisfactory meal there. Blen, in the front, is super nice!
So happy to see you guys reopen again. I was able to pay a visit today and I loved the service I was given. The great suggestion I was told before I ordered really helped me be familiar with the menu, she really explained it well!! This will be my go to place for my lunch break.
Loved the service at this store!! I was acknowledged as soon as I walked in. The staff suggested I should order the smoking gun after they asked what I like and I absolutely loved it.
So so good! Healthy and delicious. Lots of vegan options. Lovely staff!
Got a mad Cesar salad and a vegan brownie. So good! I love the variety there, I want to try all the salads!
I love this place so much. The food was to die for I loved my salad so much. Perfect distribution of flavours and a good crunch in there for each bite. I would definitely recommend this place if you re looking for something easy, healthy and clean to eat :))
Love this location! Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable
I was here a few days ago their service is absolutely great. They are kind and my food came on time. I had a great time!!
I was looking for healthy food spots and wasn t sure what to expect when I went there, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food is delicious, and the manager is very knowledgeable!
Great vegan & non-vegan options! I love how there are substitutions for nearly all ingredients!
Tasty, fast and actually healthy (I ve deep dived into their website). I genuinely wouldn t mind eating there everyday because of the variety
Love their variety and portions. The staffs are knowledgeable and friendly. Love coming here. Also one of the cleanest locations
I am mad for the Mad Ceasar with Piri Piri chicken ! The ladies at this location are fantastic. Best salad and lunch place downtown. Would highly recommend
Blen was very nice and helpful
I go there almost everyday and the girl with brown hair is so friendly and nice! My favourite is the vida verde burrito and I cant get enough. The service is great as well as the food!
Can not recommend this place enough! Food is exceptional and staff are so friendly. Was served by Alyssa and she was lovely! If you re looking for a quick, healthy and TASTY bite to eat, this is the place to go.
I LOVED the Mad Caesar! Im a huge fan of caesar salad, and an even bigger fan of the service I got! Alyssa was awesome and made a to-die for caesar salad.
This restaurant is such a good place to go to if you re either vegetarian or vegan and there are so many options! i love going here for a quick lunch :) Would definitely recommend!
This place was amazing! I had a bowl and loved it so much!!! The choices were great and I felt like I was having an enjoyable healthy meal which made me very happy! Would definitely recommend eating here!
I LOVE mad radish s food. It is exceptional and so are the staff. such a quick clean healthy meal.
Friendly staff, sub-par taste
Great fresh food, fast and friendly staff.
Amazing place!! Really great staff and the food is so so delicious. Fantastic dinning area. Just Loved it !!!
Fantastic staff and food. I love the way they make the bowls.
Had an amazing experience for my first time ! I can t remember her name but I want to say Jaylin, was the MOST sweetest girl ever and she really took her time to make sure I got what I wanted. The service was impeccable and will 100% be returning because of her. Oh and the food too. SOGOOD.
Super expensive.
Always friendly, great, healthy food. Only wish they were open longer!!
Amazing food!! Had a wonderful time. Super nice staff.
Amazing staff and customer service was great also the food was very healthy and delicious.
I was able to dine on Thursday and the hospitality I got was spectacular. I was acknowledged right away and the staff was very friendly. Not they only served me with a delicious dish but they made sure I was happy until the moment I left.The service is very quick and food is so fresh.
Loved the service and greatly recommend the smoking gun!!
Ordered ahead with the app during lunch, took about 20 minutes to prepare but notable that the in person lunch line was moving smoothly and I would have been far better off just ordering in person
Great service :)
Loved my lunch!! Very friendly staff!! Finally found my lunch spot!
Excellent customer service! Not every place has people who look like they want to do their job. Liked Jaelin the server as well
Best customer service I ve gotten all year!
This location was recommended to me by a friend and I must say it lived up to my expectations!
Astounding service
Very nice service, would recommend it to anyone who is trying to eat healthier!
Extremely fresh and delicious food!!! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options - the works! Dietary restrictions: They offer vegan, vegetarian, halal and gluten-free options. Wheelchair accessibility: Yea, theres a wheelchair ramp leading up to the front lobby in front of Slater Street.
I have been to this place many times and the food always tests amazing
It has pretty amazing food
This place is amazing!! The Food is great and also the staff.
This has got to be the worst salad i ve ever had. Cheap chicken seasoning ingredients, extremely dry kale, tasteless corn. Left a horrible taste in my mouth. Thought the brownie would save it and it was so bad i couldnt even swallow it. What is in that brownie?! Answer to owner: it has nothing to do with employees. Service was actually great. Do not try to give clients a guilt trip. Quality of ingredients and recipes have nothing to do with them. Employees just follow instructions. FYI my stomach was upset for about 3-4 hours after that salad... Wish the owner could learn from reviews, and not be passive aggressive about them.
Good food, but would have liked a little more dressing. They use compostable utensils and take away bowls which is great! They dont accept cash.
Good food but pretty expensive
Tasty and healthy. Good variety of food to choose from.
Finally tried Mad Radish on Slater today, on the recommendation of a colleague. What a fantastic experience from start to finish! The lineup moved quickly, and the staff were incredibly friendly, most especially the girl that helped me (wish I knew her name!) I chose a build-your-own salad, and its one of the best salads Ive ever had. Ingredients are super fresh, plentiful, and utterly delicious. The menu has lots of delicious variety and so much to choose from. I love the build-your-own-salad option, and its because of this Ill be a repeat customer. I normally go to Green Rebel (had never heard of Mad Radish before), but they dont have a build-your-own salad option, which is what I always wanted there. I love that they have an app that you can order from. This means no waiting in lines, and just zipping in and out to get your meal. Pricewise, its what Id expect to pay for an upscale salad joint, and on par with other similar locales nearby. Mad Radish, youve won my business. Highly recommend!
Love their salads, always get compliments on my lunch. Love that its cashless and I can get kombucha during the work day.
Good menu. Not a lot of selection but what they offer is good.
Healthy... the hand pies are very delicious!!!!
Came for lunch. Super tasty! Only complaint would maybe be the portion size... So good I would have kept eating!
WOW
Love Mad Radish.
Yum! Mad Radish is a great place for Vegan, Vegetarians and everyone else too! The only thing I would like to see more of is carbs. I LOVE carbs, especially breads and they dont have enough of them. Other than that an AMAZING place to get a super healthy meal to get you through your long day.
I ordered through ritual and it was great! Very quick and easy despite being super busy during the lunch hour. I got the caramel iced onion and cheese sandwich and it was super tasty. Highly recommend!
I rarely write reviews however, this level of poor customer service moved me to do so. Its a real shame because the food is soooo amazing! The manager in charge does not take ownership for delays or explain to the customers if there is an issue. I was waiting for a warm ingredient and had already paid instead of advising me that there would be a wait time he just pushed me aside. I kept seeing everyone elses order get pushed before mine. Im patient no problem just communicate with me. He doesnt seem capable of customer interaction. Finally the hot ingredients started coming out from the back he slams the wrong ingredients on my bowl and realizes it looks at me and pushes it to the side and whispers to the staff to remake it. Instead of explaining this to me, again he just passes it off and hands me a new one after waiting 15 minutes. Save yourself the trouble and go to the other locations! The food is amazing but customer service on Slater needs some serious work!
Great food, excellent service. Try the catering, its awesome.
Although a bit pricey, I love this place. The salads are always fresh. The Taco salad is my favorite. At work we were all fans of the coconut macaroon; unfortunately, they are not longer making it.
Smaller than the Metcalfe location but also a bit less crowded. Great and friendly staff!
These guys are the best! The smiles they offer is great, and their food is too! :) Highly recommended!
Ingredients fresh and lots of variety to choose from
Good Service, great fresh food, Healthy, eco, fair priced.
I ordered the BBQ Cauliflower today for lunch. Although the salad was tasty, it didnt meet my expectations simply for not being as advertised and not sharing with me that they were out of certain ingredients. For starters, the BBQ cauliflower (one of my favourite things!) was raw, and second, there was no corn. This was replaced with broccoli without informing me. If Im going to spend that much on a salad and have a variety of options, please let me know what Im getting since I might opt for a different item! My rating is solely based on the lack of information when I ordered, since I did have two options in mind and went for this one given the ingredients which ended up being missing. The food was good otherwise. Please be upfront with your customers when they place their orders. If you dont have something, let them know - they might pick something else.
Ordered the Smoky Caesar for the first time today. I have eaten at Mad Radish fairly regularly and this is my first review. The food has always been fresh, the staff has always been friendly and willing to help. Once they were out of their Vegan BLT sandwiches and they made one for me right then and there. Great service, fresh ingredients and tasty food will keep me coming back.
Customer service and food we re both amazing, highly recommend visiting these guys if you re looking for a healthy meal.
I ordered the espresso smoothie and it was not good. I think the ratio was off as well as the base of the smoothie that they keep in the fridge might have been sitting there for days or even a week. It did not taste good at all. If you want pure banana smoothie then you might like this but for me I wanted a coffee flavour and this smoothie did not delivered. The service was okay, none of the workers seem to really want to be there. Overall, not the best experience I have had at Mad Radish.
Overpriced but good
Ive been to Mad Radish a bunch of times now, and the salads are always very tasty. However, I have to say that Im pretty disappointed most times when I go - at $14+ dollars for a salad, the serving sizes are simply too small. For instance, I went today and bought a Smoky Caesar. The take out bowl is already not very big, but it wasnt even filled up! I picked it up off the counter and was surprised to feel the contents tumbling around because there was so much extra space inside. Ive uploaded a photo to show it... you can see that the food barely even reaches the bottom line of the bowls rim. The contents are pretty much level too, so they could have probably fit an addition 15-20% more salad in there, considering the domed shape of the lid. Its just very off-putting and unsatisfying when you fork out so much money and get such an ungenerous amount. As much as I like the food, I dont think I can allow myself to go back, on principle, because its just terrible value.
I eat here often for a quick and healthy lunch, everything has been delicious (Cobb salad, harvest bowl, falafel bowl, etc) up until today when I tried the pumpkin soup ... Very thin, and not much flavour at all! Obviously Ill keep coming back, just wont ever order that soup again, couldnt even finish it!
Way overpriced.
This place always serve extremely tasty, a good lunch place.
Tasty salad bowls and plenty of vegan options. Its on the pricier side though.
I went to the preopening for lunch, I think the grand opening is on July 7th. I ordered a ginger chicken salad and a spicy chickpea hand pie, both were delicious. During the rush I didnt realise my salad was missing the chicken, but still very tasty.
Nice atmosphere. A taco salad with chicken is close to 20$, and other then the avocado I dont see any ingredients commanding this premium. It was fairly light on all other toppings which were carefully measured out. The food isnt bad, its just completely off the price point for what is available nearby. Green Rebel is across the street, and while the lineups can be lengthy, the salads are supreme and the pricing is on point.
Happy to see a place like this open in the area. Healthy food, variety of options and price points for everyone. Very friendly staff that is always looking to help
