"So, I can buy the salad for $12, or get 8 hamburgers for a nickel. Sorry, salaaaad." – Jim Gaffigan
Yeah, it's depressing sometimes to pay for a $12 salad, but that's the premium on eating healthy-ish these days. Chop'T has nothing on sweetgreen, but given that the closest sweetgreen is in SoHo, sometimes you just have to go with the convenience. That being said, if you order the right things, Chop't can actually be a satisfying meal. The good thing is that you have more options to customize your salad here, where you don't really have as many at other places.
I'm partial towards the Braised Chicken Tinga and the Chop't Po' Boy. You have to wonder if it's really any healthier than going to other places and eating less, but according to the calorie counts, the Chop't Po' boy (which comes with fried panko-crusted chicken), only comes up to about 650 calories with all the fixings. Definitely a lower calorie option compared to a lot of the other stands in Hudson Eats, where meals easily run up to 1000+ calories.
The service is actually pretty quick, given all the attention that Chop't gets. They manage to go through the long lines of New Yorkers and tourists trying to be health-conscious with terrifying efficiency, and with great patience too. As I mentioned before, the prices aren't the greatest, but again, it's pretty much the only made-to-order salad option where you have multiple options. Le District and Olives tend to have pre-made salads for the same price, and while Pick-A-Bagel across the street has lots of options, you kinda have to wonder about the freshness.
Not really my place for frequenting, but it's not a bad choice if you want to eat healthier. I usually reserve Chop't for work days after I've come back from vacation and I've been eating like a fatty for days. If you're going with a custom salad, I'd suggest familiarizing yourself with the different toppings and dressings, so that you don't get overwhelmed when it finally comes time to order.
This is a large location with lots of seating and great place to meet someone for lunch or before/after a workout class at any of the facilities on that block like SoulCycle and Purre Bare. I took a friend here before we hit a cycling class which was perfect since we had little time and Chop't makes a fast and tasty salad.
The salads are made fresh and the menu options can be customized. And they are really good sized – I sometimes eat half for lunch and the rest with or as dinner.
My favorite is the Cobb Salad because it's one of the best bang for your buck with all the protein – grilled chicken, hard boiled egg, and bacon. The bacon is sometimes overcooked, but not too salty.
Also the avocado is usually abt 1/3 of an avocado and you get a ton of blue cheese. Note that you can switch out the blue cheese for another cheese like feta or pepper jack which is so good if you don't mind a little spice kick in your cheese.
With all that going on, I typically don't need any dressing (that being said, I'm the type to just add oil and vinegar or hot sauce as my dressing, so u might still want a little dressing jazz).
Bonus- their Olive Oil is EVOO (extra virgin)!!! Which can be hard to find sometimes.
And don't forget that u can ask them to Chop your salad ingredients and lettuce more or less to your liking.
Final bonus- you get a good size piece of flatbread with any salad. And if u let this sit in the fridge overnight it will harden and is great for dipping into guac or hummus the next day.
If u order delivery and ask for a specific cookie or snack, u may not always get what you ask for. My husband had his snack part of the orders mixed up a few times.
Chop't is an efficient place to get a bite in Hudson Eats inside Brookfield Place. The salads are quite generous albeit a bit pricey (as is the norm at Hudson Eats, the upscale food court that is so nice it defies the term "food court.") I've been very happy with the salads at Chop't–my personal favorite is the Cobb.
I do wish the place was a little more organized, because while it is efficient and fast, it is those things to a fault. The experience of getting a salad here goes something like this: "Stand in line patiently until it's your turn… IT'S YOUR TURN–HURRY UP!… STAND HERE… NO HERE… WHAT DO YOU WANT? NO TIME FOR QUESTIONS!… NOW HURRY UP AND RUN OVER HERE!… NO HERE!!!…WHAT DRESSING DO YOU WANT?… WHAT DID YOU SAY? I CANNOT HEAR YOU OVER ALL THE POUNDING OF WORKERS CHOPPING SALADS?… IS THAT ENOUGH DRESSING? WHAT ABOUT NOW?… NOW RUN OVER TO THE NEXT SET OF LINES TO PAY AND GET THE HECK OUT OF THE WAY!"
You'll get a good salad rapidly at Chop't, but you may need to catch your breath and calm down before you eat it. Tip: Be absolutely sure what you want before you get in line (and if you have any anxiety disorders, go to one of the other restaurants in Hudson Eats.)
I want to update my review for Chop't delivery because they have definitely made a change in their process! The quality of the salads is very good- try the Kale Caesar or any of the grain based salads!
I'm not really into salad because it doesn't make my tummy satisfied. It last for an hour and then I'm hungry again. But I went to this salad place to try. Theirs always a rush hour when you go around 12noon to 1pm. Before & after that time is good to go. So you pick which greens, dressing & any other stuff you wanna put then they chop it for you. Actually its pretty tasty & flavorfull but Its expensive. You can buy salad from any other store in this neighboorhood without paying close to $20 for a salad. Not going back.
Extremely disappointed in this salad place. I've been to sweetgreen and just salad many times and have loved both so I figured I'd enjoy their rival too but definitely not. Firstly, they barely have any options! The basic salad includes 4 toppings but I was struggling to find 4 things I even wanted in my salad! Anything that looked remotely good was extra. I mean really, you can get normal eggs for free but egg whites are extra? Cranberries are extra? Quinoa is extra? Everything was extra! I understand avocado but squash – please. It also wasn't even obvious what was extra and what wasn't. There was no sign and he ingredients were all mixed in. They also barely had any premade salads available and they looked horrible. Then came the dressings, I struggled to find one I wanted at all and they don't let you sample! The people who worked there were also rude and quite slow. I was the only one there and it took forever! I've never seen someone chop a salad so slowly. Anyway, I'll never be going back to a chopt again. If I'm paying $10 for a salad, it better be good. Sweetgreen and just salad for me.
A little expensive but I never want to make my own salad…because it doesn't seem as good, ya know what I mean? Therefore I'll pay a premium…ha. Plenty of seating…people working there were nice. What more can you ask for?
Chop't has really good salads and dressings. The location in Hudson eats can be intimidating due to the lines and the speed as to which you need to place your order. Luckily the super long lines do move quickly.
Ingredients are fresh and tasty. My only real gripe is that if you order one of their salads you spend about $10; If you make your own salad with comparable ingredients you pay $15. What I've learned is to order one of their salads and switch out an ingredient or 2, so you don't get stuck with a $15 bill.
If you're a first timer to Chop't it helps to review the menu online before you go or grab a menu to review while you are waiting on line.
