Overall, Mandy's salads are praised for freshness, flavor, and generous ingredients, with standouts like the Habibi salad and the tuna salad earning high marks when portions are substantial. However, other reviews point to inconsistencies in portion size and value, missing toppings or dressing, and higher prices that some feel do not match what is received. Service ranges from friendly and efficient to slow or underwhelming, with a noted gift card processing hiccup on one visit. The ambiance and decor are repeatedly praised, and several locations are described as comfortable and welcoming. Taken together, Mandy's is seen as a go to for delicious, healthy salads, but experiences vary in food quantity, cost, and service.
I love Mandy's. Big portion of a tasty salade with fresh meat, veggies & fruits. Sadly, it is too pricey (-2*). It stops me from going there more often than I would like to. I recommend this place.

We ordered the Seared Tuna & the Pacific Crunch salads, both were fresh & flavorful, & we enjoyed the food overall. However, the experience was let down by the service.
We came on a Sunday evening specifically intending to use the $50 gift cards we had purchased that same day for our meal. We were already a little nervous about visiting this location, as we had noticed it only had a 3.8-star rating on Google compared to other Mandy's locations, which are rated four stars & above. Unfortunately, our experience confirmed some of those concerns.
After ordering, we were told at the cashier that they were having issues processing gift cards &, as a result, we couldn't use them. This was very disappointing. Given that the issue was on their end, we believe it would have been reasonable for the staff to accept the gift cards & sort out the processing problem internally afterward.
The staff did take my contact information & said they would try to find a solution, but in the end, we had to pay with our credit card & leave with the gift cards unused. While the food was good, the lack of flexibility & follow through on the service side left a poor impression.
I went back to the Laurier location after a dull dry Cobb salad the week before, but today's generous, super fresh & delicious Habibi salad showed me that it was not the norm for Mandy's salads. The staff was wonderful & my overall experience this time for lunch was excellent. Great salad, generous serving, well-balanced fresh ingredients. I recommend ordering the dressing on the side (that's what I will do from now on) so you can get a good amount & pour it yourself. This was the perfect amount of dressing for this Habibi salad & it's officially my favourite now. Thank you Mandy's!
I like to pick up an Endless Summer salad every 1-2 months, & it's been diminishing returns every time. I swear each time for the past six orders, there's a little less avocado, a little less pomegranate, a little less mock chicken, etc. until my order last week, which was almost a joke. Barely any avocado, mock chicken, or kale leaves. Even the dressing wasn't as tasty as before. For $25 w/tip, I ended up with a salad that was comprised mostly of romaine lettuce & bland dressing! I used to feel full after having this salad, but now it's more like a snack. & despite arriving before noon, they were out of pomegranates & offered to substitute cheaper options, like dried cranberries. He must've seen the disappointment in my face so he offered fresh options, like mango. I found a few bits of mango in there. Yikes, if this keeps going on, I may need to cut out Mandy's as an occasional treat & learn to make my own salads!! What the heck is going on? I had to write this review as my last order was such a disappointment. What used to be a minimum 4-star salad several months ago has now been reduced to 1.
I've eaten here several times & every time was outstanding. Fresh ingredients, no compromises & well thought out menu items. The restaurants are a pleasure to visit for service & atmosphere. Teriyaki Tofu salad & bowl are my favorites.
