Overall : tasty soup but served lukewarm and WILDLY overpriced. AMBIANCE : Cafeteria vibe with nice lighting and plants. FOOD I cannot express my shock when the cash read 12$ : a vegan (coconut) soup of this size, from a fast food establishment. It was tasty, but there were few vegetables and it was not hot. The quantity is equivalent to a laddle’s worth. The photo was taken after I had two sips.

★★★★

The food was great but the price of 1 bowl is a bit too high considering the portion size wasn't that great. The staff is great and atmosphere is pleasant. We tried the piripiri bowl and it was good overall but just a bit too dry.

★★★

Tried peri peri chicken bowl and it was yumm but for 18$ (including tax) its very expensive especially with the small portion. However since its a healthy food chain so small size makes sense but they should lower the price for sure. Dont know if I will try again based on price.

The food is always excellent and it’s my go to for lunch in the area. However, the manager on Albert St is extremely rude to her employees. From what I’ve witnessed, she talks to them in a condescending way and raises her voice. There was an issue with the POS system and instead of giving clear instructions in a calm manner, she was talking to them in a very condescending manner in front of customers. The 2 employees remained calm and did what they were told. She was also rude to the IT people on the phone. Not ok. I go there multiple times a week and the employees are always lovely. No one should be treated this way in their workplace.

Came here after hours of studying at the library. Food was good and fresh with lots of Veg options. Staff were super friendly even though i was super tired. I made a great decision coming here. It's a lovely space for people watching too, which is the most exciting thing about the atmosphere. The containers and cutlery are also recyclable.

I ordered a soup today. The soup is basically a cup sized amount - for $12! Incredibly disappointed. The soup itself wasn’t very good. Moroccan chicken soup and it has a single strand of chicken. Very watered down. I do not recommend the soups. RESPONSE TO RESPONSE: Thanks for your response. I have no complaints on service or environment, but thank you for including that information. I've adjusted the rating to more fairly 2 star. While I understand your intentions are to provide a healthy, good tasting and consistent portion, the final product didn't live up to that. Perhaps reviewing your portion sizing (or price) and soup preparation process might earn better soup reviews in the future. In the meantime, I suggest anyone looking for a soup go to any other restaurant for a better soup experience for half the price.

They offers a unique dining experience, specializing in creative and healthy vegan cuisine. The menu features a variety of vibrant salads, wraps, and bowls. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with warm lighting and eco-friendly decor. Overall, The Mad Radish provides a delicious and sustainable dining experience and worth a visit for vegans and health-conscious individuals.

Do not go here if you have a nut allergy. I ve been going to Mad Radish for almost a year now and never had an issue. I think they recently introduced a new item with peanuts in it. I ordered my usual (the Santa Fe) which does not contain nuts. However, after taking a bite of my salad, my tongue started swelling and I had to call the ER/use my EpiPen as I was having a serious anaphylaxis reaction. Lo and behold, my salad indeed contained 2 stray peanuts. I am now stabilized but if I didn t have my EpiPen, this could have been deadly. The restaurant should put the peanuts in a separate area away from the other ingredients, or at the very least take more caution.

Great spot. Depending on who makes your bowl, you may be a bit disappointed. Last time we only got 4 pieces of tofu. Asked for more, only got 4 more pieces. Many times before there was a bigger portion. Still yummy.

April 23, 2024

I got a salad here today and ordered something from their preset menu but asked for a different dressing. Was told I could only get the one dressing or no dressing at all. Had waited in line and was on the spot so I got the salad with no dressing and it s very disappointing having paid over $17 for this

First visit and am very impressed. Delicious salad, made even better due to the compostable packaging. I usually dont get takeaway salads because of the clear plastic lids - this is a great example of how they are absolutely not necessary! Also love the mini desserts. Will definitely be back to try some other options.

December 23, 2023

I ordered 2 meals at the Bank street location and they were incorrect. There was no protein that we ordered for the bowls (chicken and beef). The Mixed greens and brown rice showed up as white rice and very little greens. The brownie tastes like soil...

Perfectly adequate lunch spot, it does get a bit busy if you go around noon so be prepared to wait in line and dont expect to have a seating area. Food quality is exactly as youd expect, relitively fresh and average size portion. My suggestions would be to get a bowl with rice and greens instead of just rice, as you get a significant amount of it already. Also Id suggest not to get a custom bowl as it starts at 3 toppings, and they charge an extra dollar per scoop and it can add up quickly.

What an incredible experience. I was trying to arrange a lunch meeting that started at 11am and every place I contacted for individual lunches could not do delivery for 11am. Mary was extraordinary. She not only made this delivery possible but went out of her way to make sure this was stressless for me. The food was incredible, arrived before 11am and made exceptions to get the items by customers wanted to enjoy. Stephanie was also amazing. She was able to help me when I couldnt sign in and made sure the extra items I needed were added. I cannot express how grateful I am to Mad Radish, in particular to Mary and Stephanie for making my event successful. Everyone could not stop talking about how delicious and fresh all the food was!! Visiting their stories or having them cater is a must!!!! They are amazing with amazing food!! 10 stars if possible.

I ve been going to the Glebe location for years but unfortunately the portions sizes are much smaller and I am left hungry after my meal. Not worth the $16 at all.

Last week, I was actually pretty unimpressed because they made my order wrong twice, and I felt like I was blamed for not being clear because I had my mask on. She didn t seem interested in correcting my order and moved on immediately to the next customer who was also the only customer there (so it wasn t during the lunch rush). I had also tried to use the app for the first time and it wasn t working so it was all very frustrating. However the lady at the register taking my payment was amazing which helped. I tried again today using the app, and it was super busy. I didn t mind waiting but a lady who I don t think was actually on her shift saw me waiting and went into the kitchen to get my order going. It was unexpected and very much appreciated. She was providing beyond amazing customer service so I would say redeemed and this location is deserving of five stars given their (at minimum) two quality staff members.

I was walking downtown Ottawa looking for a place to grab a late lunch when I got curious about this restaurant. I walked in and took in the menu which I found healthy and compelling, I ordered the Piri Piri Portuguese chicken salad bowl that turned out to be, nice and spicy, with crunchy roasted corn kernels, sweet potatoe, arugula, lettuce and brown rice. At first sight I wondered how I would finish it, though once I began it was difficult to stop. The place and employees go above and beyond to clean and upkeep three premises and the quality is undeniably fresh and clean, everything that youd expect from a good salad restaurant. Good for a quick healthy bite!

Extremely displeased with this location. I ordered a piri piri chicken bowl with avocado on their app at 11:45 to avoid the lunch rush. When I got to the location, it was very disorganized and everyone was waiting around. They weren t calling names for the orders and wasn t managing the lunch rush well. I inquired about my bowl at 12:10 and to my surprise, they ran out of piri piri chicken and was waiting for another batch to be cooked. I was expecting much prompter service - I asked for a substitute protein because I was waiting close to half an hour, and got the other lemongrass chicken instead. The chicken was cold, the extra avocado was small in portion (only a few slices for the extra $1.95) and the bowl was simply mediocre. I don t normally write bad reviews, so yeah, this place was pretty terrible.

Went recently and the service was terrible. Delivery times are long, wait times are long in person. The staff seems untrained and un helpful. They dont know their own menu. Multiple people behind the counter, none of them seemed to know what they were doing or to have a system in place. I love the food here and would recommend the food but the service is terrible.

Staff seem lost. Consistently poor service and inconsistent product.

Mad Radish is always one of my favourite places to go when I m downtown or in the Glebe and looking for a place to grab a quick healthy lunch! Always quick and attentive service!

I had a phenomenal bowl. It was my first time here and the associates were very helpful. She walked through the menu with me and helped me make something delicious. I had no wait time and a very good time. The restaurant was very clean and the other patrons seemed to be having a good time too. Also felt very safe being out. Thank you.

I visited the Metcalfe Street location and experienced some of the worst customer care in my life. The wifi was down so payments werent running through, the staff were absolutely panicked and werent communicating well together. They were in a state of complete chaos and yelled at a customer who tried to leave having not realized their payment declined. I have worked in retail and understand how stressful it is when pin pads fail, but the fact that your restaurants do not accept cash puts your employees in an extremely difficult position. I dont understand why cash is not accepted, and it feels like a classist attempt to control the image of the brand. Further, my piri piri bowl was extremely wet and had hard corn in it that almost broke my tooth; which was not communicated clearly in the description.

When I went there for lunch the internet was down and the staff were frantic. The manager came out from the back room, looked at the chaos and disappeared again. I got a sandwich and it was so wet it was leaking sauce into my hands. I gave them a second chance and got a bowl which was a wet and slimy food experience. I want to like Mad Radish because we need more healthy options but this is a waste of $17.

I got the Piri-Piri chicken. I did not want to finish the entire bowl and I couldnt resist, it was too good. All the ingredients were harmonious, it was just delicious and healthy. I would definitely recommend this place, healthy food and amazing taste!

Stopped in Monday night to get a burrito, I really like the food here but at 8 PM, one staff was in the kitchen & one was sweeping - neither of them noticed me for about two minutes so I left without ordering.

Wow!!! So much flavour. First time here. Tried the Piri Piri Chicken bowl. Fast, healthy, tasty, and fair price. The custard tarts and peach kombucha are also good!
