Freshii

Lots of comments here about the price. It’s the loop, and I spent about $ 10, so that’s about par for the course. In fact, I usually spent $ 12 for a salad at Protein Bar, so really, I saved a bit.
Problem was it wasn’t great, although it wasn’t really bad either. I had the teriyaki bowl — the rice seemed like instant brown rice, and the veggies all seemed… boiled/​bland? Again, not horrible, and I’m being harsh. It’s like a couple reviewers have said, it just lacks «something.»
I leave 3 star reviews when I would go back but it doesn’t stand out — that’s precisely what this was. And to be honest, I’ll probably be back because at least I didn’t feel like I ruined myself calorie wise (although the brownie bites back at the office did…).

This restaurant is clean and the employees are friendly. The food received does not look much like the photos on the menu. All tastes good and is served very fresh. The prices are a little more than other restaurants with offering similar food items.

I thought it was good. I had the quinoa burrito and tasted fresh and they had lots of nice selection. Not much seating at this location but there was some in the atrium.

I really want to like this place; it’s one of the only healthy fast food options near my office. I’ve tried it three times and each time it’s just been gross. It’s expensive, and the food has been bland each time. I’ve tried different things there and left each time feeling mad that I just paid $ 10 for a completely flavorless meal that I don’t even finish half of. Never going back.

I really wanted to like this place. The interior design looks modern and «fresh» and I love the idea of fresh healthy food. However, after giving it a handful of tries, I feel as if I will probably never go back. The food is just way to pricey for the amountand the quality. It is about 6 dollars for just rice/​noodle with a small amount of vegetables. You have to pay another about 2 dollars and change to add protein! So after tax it is almost 10 dollars for a meal.

If you order avocado. you literally will NEVER get it. Never fails, i pay the additional 1.25 for avocado and walk out with none. I think it must be an inside joke with these people to do it on purpose.

Great for vegetarians. Had the lemon grass soup with tofu. Great for a rainy day like today. The berry smoothie was good too.

This place is the worst deal.
Super expensive. Meager. Not very fresh.
Be aware that paying $ 2 to add a protein to your meal will translate to less than 2 tablespoons of said protein added to your meal.

I only tried frozen yogurt here. This is the most yogurt flavor froyo I have ever had! Compared to this, other froyos are more like ice cream. However, the toppings are definitely not of different varieties as ordinary froyo store, but it is consistent with Freshii’s healthy postion and image.

I have to say this place has one of the most confusing menu /​ordering systems for a n00b to navigate, but the food was damn good. I wasn’t really sure what to expect and was hoping for a hot vegan wrap, but the cold one suited me just fine. I like all the vegan options.

My second time to Freshii and first time to this location.
My first time and I immedietly fell in love with the healthy meal. It’s not cheap, but atleast its a healthy meal with no grease and reduced fat. And it doenst break the bank.
Although I didn’t like this location as much as the other location I tried downtown Chicago — the service was a bit slow takes about 15 mins to wait for your meal after you place your order.
Can’t wait to have Freshii again!

On paper this place looks great. When it comes to performance, however, this place fell a little bit short. First off, they recently remodeled the store and switched up their menu items. While the menu isn’t radically different than what’s displayed on the corporate website, I was a little dissapointed that the option I was looking forward to ordering wasn’t on their new menu. Whatevs, it seems like most people go here for a quick salad/​noodle option. I didn’t think my salad was the greatest. The «steak» in my salad was more like strips of roast beef. It was a nice-​sized salad, but for what I paid I expected more from it. The chopped salad at the corner bakery is much better.

I think this place perpetuates the stereotype of food that’s good for you tasting bad.
Ordered the Asian Chopped salad as part of a big delivery for our team’s lunch.
«Salads don’t need to be bland! Dressings don’t need to be overly sweet and thick. Why are my wontons soggy? I need an adult!” – these are the thoughts that ran through my mind as I tried to navigate my salad. I say this because all of the non-​lettuce ingredients were at the bottom of my salad. I don’t understand this. The lettuce is going to make everything else soggy if it’s on top. And so it did.
The taste of the salad (minus wontons) was just okay. I’ve definitely made better salads at home. Not inedible, just not something I’d go back for.

My second time here, take out. I’m back at my desk.
I’m wondering what on earth could have made this godawful bowl of noodles cost $ 7.76. The noodles themselves (85% of the dish) are bland, sort of like styrofoam. The veggies (which I ordered this dish for, yet only comprise maybe 10% of it), are soaked with oil and do not taste fresh or healthy. The rest of the dish is tofu, spices, and oil, none of which are that good.
Wtf? How do you get away charging $ 7.76 for this? The only benefit is that its filling, but I can go to, oh, anywhere for that. Maybe if this were in the $ 5.00 range, I’d be cool with it. Maybe if it were super fresh and healthy tasting, i’d be ok with it. But come on, this is a bland, oily mess.

This place is in my building, so unfortunately I go there a fair amount.
Here’s the thing — the food is fresh (as advertised) and (if they grilled it properly) would actually be very good.
Here’s the problem — I go here probably once a week and they mess up my order 80% of the time. All I get is a wrap, grilled, with no tomato. 75% of the time, the wrap isn’t grilled at all (which I send back promptly because I can feel it) and a lot of the time, there is something in my order wrong (tomatoes, wrong dressing, etc.).
Either the sheets they use to fill out the orders are too confusing for employees or they hire the stupidest people in the world because my order is so consistently wrong, that I had to write a review (which happens rarely). If you can, I’d recommend staying away from this place.

I still frequent Freshii on a semi-​regular basis. More often than not I build my own rice bowl with black beans, corn, sprouts, salsa, tofu, broccoli, and carrots.
I’ve also ordered the frozen yogurt several times. It’s far more fro yo than I would ever eat in one serving and the staff really seems to struggle with the concept of giving me just a half serving. (Rather than taking a full serving and throwing half away.)
They recently raised the prices a bit, but the rice bowls are plenty of food for the money. I can usually get two meals out of one rice bowl.

Not going back, sorry. The music is way too loud in there and you literally have to scream your order. Plus, it looks like IKEA and has an IKEA concept. Don’t get me wrong, I love IKEA (see my IKEA review), but not when it comes to food. You have to fill out your order on a sheet of paper with a pencil. Little do you know that every time to put a checkmark next to something, you run up your little food bill higher and higher.
The food is bland and overpriced. I had two different bowls here and they both tasted very generic. There is something missing here, but I cannot put my finger on it… Perhaps they skimp on seasonings or something. Anyway, I came because I purchased a kgb deal and even then it was not worth it.
The only nice thing about Freshii is that it is located in a nice building. But even the 311 Wacker location can’t save that 10 dollar bowl of bland.
With flavorful Panera Bread right across the street, why bother with Freshii?

I’ve got 10 of my colleagues in town and knowing we’d be hitting the dinners/​drinks pretty heavily I promised everyone healthy lunches. So hello Freshii!
I really liked their detailed website and so genius that it counts calories for you. I asked my colleagues to make their own salad, soup, freshii bowl… and send it to me. Um, not one of my most genius ideas because ordering 11 different types of salads, soups, etc for picky eaters was not fun! I’ll admit it… i was cursing my colleagues by the time I placed the 11^th order.
The food was pretty yummy. I enjoyed a brown rice bowl filled with veggies and chicken. And I really liked my coworker’s spicy lemongrass soup.
A good, healthy option… just make someone else do the ordering if it’s a large order.

Freshii’s website alone gets 5 stars. I love online ordering, and the fact that you can create your own salad, wrap or soup on line, especially for a large company lunch order, this is awesome.
When I initially made my order a few days in advance, I was stuffed, so the last thing I wanted to do was think about food, so I went for the lemon grass soup (I’m also a soupaholic). But when lunchtime came around yesterday, i sorta regretted it. I was famished.
Luckily, this was no side soup. It was served in a large cup/​container. I must say that it had a surprising amount of savory flavor. It had a zesty broth with hints of earthy spices and lemon. Loved it.
The only reason why I knocked off one star was that I ordered mine with brown rice instead of rice noodles, along with cilantro and some other fixins that weren’t included. Not too big of a deal; I still ate it all.

I’m on a fro-​yo bender, apparently…
–Only size: $ 3.75. It’s BIG. Probably a medium at most othre F-​yo places.
–Original is light and «flash frozen» for ultimate aeration.
–fresh fruit (I had mango, which was a bit unripened) + granola
I like Freshii. I wish they were in my office building… but um, I work from home. They have fresh options, the prices aren’t crazy… and they aren’t so UBER healthy that they skimp out on fountain sodas. I mean, I get it Whole Foods, et al. Sodas are bad for us, but I still want my Diet Coke, so fountain it over, why don’tcha?! Freshii score.
A nice little afternoon treat, and after the lunch rush there isn’t a soul in sight… and you can hang out in the luxe lobby seating and enjoy.
Fro-​yo week has commenced…
