I used to really like Freshii. I’ve gone to them in many locations but they are all becoming the same. I got a satay bowl today. Almost no sauce at all. I get home and it’s just bland noodles with chicken. I paid for double chicken. Looks like a single serving. It’s become a cheap restaurant that is over priced.

This place was just okay. Compared to other salad bars, this one is very lackluster.

Ordered a MIXED BERRY SMOOTHIE.... I watched the worker make it (not blaming him in any way if this is the recipe) My small MIXED BERRY SMOOTHIE had half a banana, oasis orange juice, 1 singular strawberry and some blueberry syrup that you can get at freshco. My mixed berry smoothie had 1 berry in it.

The two gentlemen who work here are incredibly kind and are the best part of Freshii, but the quality of Freshii overall is really bad compared to other establishments in the area. All salad toppings are frozen/canned level of freshness. This has been my experience at a variety of Freshii locations.

Great service. The manager and staff are quick to respond and fix issues. I ordered food for work for the team (6 orders). There were issues with one of them. I called and spoke to the manager who quickly resolved the issue. The food was made right and tasted well. I will definitely have lunch there again.

The service and food were good. I haven’t been here in a few years, but I swear they used to fill up the bowl more.

Ordered the Greek Salad and received mouldy stale Naan on the side. Suggest that this location is rebranded as 'Mouldii'. Absolutely disgusting.

The most bland boring food Ive ever had. Tastes like hospital food.

Went to try the burrito as chipotle was closed for Thanksgiving day. Burrito was not good small portions aswell and the fiery bbq sauce is not what vision it was. Sauce was too sweet like sweet and sour sauce. On Top of everything the burrito was small portions and no flavor in the rice.

I went to store 0728 at 4:40. It was the worst customer service ever. It was hot inside like the oven. Asked for 2 freshi green smoothi and got it warm because ir was blended without ice. The lady was working there have not put the ice in it. When i told it is hot. And i cannot drink it.she blamed AC when i asked for refund out of nowhere she found ice. At the end she mixed some Ice with with it. I want to add that She did not changed the smoothi she asked me to put cubes of ice in it. I asked also for Kale and Fiesta salad which were half of the bowl and it was not enough at all ,oposite of what tou see in photos. Not enough dressing untill i asked her to add more.It was not a good exprience i dont recommand anyone to go thethere.

OMG, the worst Frehi. I was there Saturday at 4:40 pm. Store number 0728.I went and ordered two smoothies, which she made it warm, like warm water. When I asked it is warm, and I cannot drink, she said she blamed AC and said AC is not working and if I want she can give my ice cubes to put in. When I asked for refund she went back to the storage and brought ice and she said she will fix it. I want to add that she did not make a new cold smoothies, she took two smoothies she mixed some ice in it, ( we have tasted the smoothies ) and she gave it bak. I bought two salads too which was half portion, no dressing and when I asked for more dressing she said I put dressing under the salad, I looked at it later, and there was no dressing at all. I dont know how the store is still there. No one should get anything from this store. It was a bad experience,

DONT GO HERE!!! Its not real food and HORRIBLE SERVICE. I am generously giving this Freshii one star. The poor guy didn t seem to know what he was doing and was working alone. I waited one hour for a screwed up order, which I threw out. Don t waste your money or time.

I ve been here a lot, the service is okay. Food is fine but overpriced. The proteins are very low quality not happy to pay an extra $4 for regurgitated chicken

Just paid $13.00 for a bowl of Quinoa. Very skimpy on other essential ingredients like vegetables. The staff was miserable as well. This will be the first and last time ill be going to this Freshii.

Very stingy portion sizes at this location. The staff are not friendly at all. Much better Freshii locations. Avoid this one.

Ive had it with this location. Morning staff are often unfamiliar with the menu, and cant even be bothered to say, Good morning. The breakfast bowl I order is okay on a good day, dismal on days they struggle. Maybe it was a saving grace that todays bowl was 2/3 its usual size, because the eggs were cold, grey, and hard, and the kale was starting to smell like my compost bin. I wont be going back, and I wouldnt advise anyone to go here.

Slow service. Ritual order took over 30mins and it wasn t even ready when it was meant to be. Got to the store and it wasn t even busy and they hadn t started making it

Worst burritos I ever had at this location

Forgot my tofu 1st time I ordered. Called the 2nd time to double check, got hung up on. Called back, guy passed me to another person mid sentence. If you are too busy dont pick up the phone and have another staff member do it. Cancelled my order and went elsewhere. Didnt take a moment for me to explain my allergies so if you are allergy sensitive please be aware the staff here isnt ason point as wed like to be able to trust them to be. Guy answers the phone hello. LOL am I calling your cellphone?

December 21, 2019

Agree with other reviews as well. This location gives smaller portions, and staff dont seem to have any idea of what goes in what. I have made about 4 ritual orders because it is on my way to work. Almost every time they mess it up or give me half the portions. Ugh...

If only i didnt have 10-15% of the rice be as hard as lemon seeds, I would have given 5 stars... may have deserved 2 stars due to this being the 3rd time this has happened (out of 5 or 6 times). Come on yall, get ur rice game together, lol. And I am sorry if the cashier girl is the managers daughter, but her Druid expressionless face and lack of any ability to communicate with the customers or other staff members really does not help the situation. If u catch her smile take a pic and post it here lol

The food is not hyginic. They are using one same spoon to put chicken or tofu.. I went there as a customer my experience was worse.I worked there as employeee also i was shocked when i saw how they made all the things.The hygiene is 0.Both time my experience is worse very bad.And the manager look like is different and her reality nobody can imagine how she is....

I ordered two pangoa bowls and it was spicier than I remembered; spicier than fresh kimchi if thats any reference. I arrived 35 minutes before closing; they locked the doors 30 minutes before closing time (ie. 7:30 pm) which made the dine-in experience a little awkward. I wasnt planning on staying long thats inconsiderate because I had an 8pm show.

I come here for lunch from time to time and pick up a $6 deal of the day. Lines get long around lunch-time so try to get something before or after the lunch rush, otherwise expect to wait some time. Its located right outside St Andrew station, so not too bad a location compared to the ones in the food courts. Its Freshii, so most of the base stuff doesnt come with any proteins. Youll have to add another dollar or two to get it. Food tastes good. Havent had any issues. Disposable chopsticks are available though theyre the sub-par variety.

I love freshi, however the quality and quantity is kind of going south. Today on my pangoa bowl, i see the avocado is almost half of what used to be. And its so funny that a wedge of lime has become a slice of lime. Brown rice is always over boiled or the rice brand is different from others. I prefer the quality of freshi much better at king street east near church street.
