Chop Stop - San Jose

The salad is very fresh and full of ingredients. A big bowl full. But delivery through Uber is too expensive, a bowl plus tip costs USD30

I'm definitely not a salad girl but this place has made me a changed woman I love their salads I've been coming at least once a week for the past 3 months the staff is super friendly the prices are fair they definitely deserve 5 stars ?

I occasionally have cravings for salads, and one day, I stumbled upon this place on Yelp. I decided to give it a try, and it didn't disappoint! They offer a variety of pre-made salad options, or you can customize your own. The selection of toppings is impressive. You can choose to have the dressing on the side or mixed in. I believe they also serve wraps. The portions are generous, filling the bowl to the top; I find that when I get the dressing on the side, the salad stays fresh for a couple of days. I appreciate how everything is chopped into bite-sized pieces, which aligns with their name, Chop Stop. While I sometimes think I could make a similar salad at home for a lower cost, I come here for the convenience, so I can't complain. I tend to load up on toppings, which can increase the price. The staff here is consistently friendly, and I'll definitely return for my next salad craving or if I want to bring a salad to a picnic. They make salads to order, and the wait is usually around 10 minutes, including the time spent waiting in line, making it suitable for a quick lunch. They also have a few tables in the shop if you prefer dining in. Personally, I often opt for the Greek salad when it's available, and I add roasted chicken for a more substantial meal; it's delicious and refreshing.I also tried the Roasted Garlic Chicken Salad, which was incredibly tasty, especially if you're a fan of garlic. The salad includes whole pieces of roasted garlic that burst with flavor. They offer free drink refills. It's a cozy restaurant, great for solo diners or pairs, though it might get crowded during rush hours.I placed a takeout order, so unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the salad I ordered.Vegetarian options: Their menu offers a wide range of vegetarian options.Dietary restrictions: It's always a good idea to inform the staff about your specific dietary requirements to ensure they can assist you in making the best choices for your meal.Parking: There is ample parking conveniently located directly in front of the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: This restaurant provides accessible parking and ensures wheelchair accessibility.

The Chop Stop offers a fantastic opportunity to customize salads exactly to your liking, a feature I absolutely enjoy. The ingredients are always fresh and they have lots of combinations. Docking one star for the slightly cramped space and a price tag that's a bit higher than expected, but it's a solid four-star spot for salad lovers.

Update per the store owner, the service charge on the receipt is the TIP... FYI there is a 3.00 service charge just to order food that is no where noted in the restaurant. Other than salad is fine, workers are friendly and food came out quickly. When craving a salad, it's a nice place to come.
