Diving deeper, the Food (7.5) clearly leads the way, consistently praised for its freshness and variety. Service (7) also performs well, with staff often noted for their helpfulness.

Verdict: Our expert take on MIXT
Food (7.5 out of 10)
mentioned by 87% of the guests
When it comes to the food, this spot generally hits the mark with a 7.5 score and a solid 81.1% customer satisfaction. Many rave about the delicious seasonal bowls and salads, often highlighting how very fresh everything is. The generous portion sizes and abundant vegan options, along with endless topping choices, make for a truly customizable and healthy meal, as noted in 43 positive opinions.
However, not all experiences are perfect, with 8 negative opinions raising some concerns. A few customers encountered issues like salads being overdressed or a desire for more preset options. More seriously, there were isolated reports of a foreign object found in a salad and even food safety concerns, which are definitely dealbreakers for some.

- saladsBe prepared for a long line during peak lunch hours, but rest assured, it moves quite quickly. If you're seeking a delicious, fresh salad and don't mind paying a bit extra, I highly recommend checking this place out.
- foodAtmosphere and food reminds me of Virginia Beach
- freshall of it so fresh
- optionsMy experience at this restaurant was centered around its interesting place and concept on the salad making process. You will love it if you want to choose everything single thing that goes in your salad, as it has a lot of options for every single step of the salad making process. I found it to be a little pricey, although the portion size was quite healthy and I could not finish it.
- saladMy experience was fantastic, especially the food. I had the best salad of my life; it was incredibly fresh and bursting with flavor. The staff was also super friendly.

- avocadoAvocado extra but worth it.
- baconI put bacon on it, sometimes chicken and bacon.
- chickenWhile avocado is an extra charge, it's absolutely worth it. I often add bacon, and sometimes chicken and bacon. I've even skipped dressing entirely, especially since my favorite was discontinued.

Frequently criticized
- saladHad my first salad made incorrectly and my second salad seemed to get overdressed
- Elote saladmy Elote salad and bit into an actual rusted screw
- diarrheaI love Mixt normally and we used to eat their salads a couple times a week because it’s close to our office. But today, we all got devastating diarrhea and couldn’t continue working. It can’t be a coincidence.
- dressingCompletely inedible $16 salad due to the amount of dressing
- preset optionsI found it to be a little pricey, although the portion size was quite healthy and I could not finish it. I would have preferred some preset options which make life easier for people instead of ending up choosing a weird combo.
- rusted screwbit into an actual rusted screw
- saladswe all got the same sick couple hours later
If you're looking for fresh, customizable, and healthy salads with good portion sizes, this place is definitely worth a try. Just be mindful of potential issues with dressing levels and, in rare cases, food safety, which could make for a less-than-ideal experience.

- don't toss the saladIt is very convenient. The only drawback is they don't toss the salad when you order online. But I do understand that salads will get mushy if the dressing is on it for too long.
- lineI found the salads to be great, but ultimately, they were just not worth the price. Additionally, the line is always out the door at this location during lunch time.
- long linesLong lines (because salads are good).
- lunch lineforgo the HUGE lunch line
- managerial leadershipI believe the corporate office needs to conduct an audit of the Oakland location. While everyone seems to be working, there's a distinct lack of managerial leadership, resulting in lackluster customer service and longer-than-usual wait times. For a brand that aims to be respectable, the Oakland location needs to step up its game.
- online ordersOnline orders hard to do
If youre looking for friendly staff and appreciate efficient online ordering or delivery, youll likely have a good experience here. Just be prepared for potentially long lines during peak lunch hours, which might test your patience.
Ambience (5.7 out of 10)
mentioned by 30% of the guests
The ambience here is a bit of a mixed bag, with a score of 5.7 putting it squarely in the average range, and customer satisfaction at a 41.7% mixed rating. Based on 12 comments, many guests rave about the nice outdoor seating in the alley and how relaxing it is to sit at the tables outside under their yellow umbrellas. Its described as an all-round great spot with a pleasant atmosphere.
However, the experience isnt universally positive. With 3 negative remarks, some find the seating to be quite limited, and it can get noisy inside, which might not be ideal for a quiet meal. There are also some concerns raised about health standards, which could impact the overall comfort of your visit.

Value (4.5 out of 10)
mentioned by 33% of the guests
Looking at the bright side, a couple of diners mentioned that the prices were quite reasonable, even calling them a decent price. Out of 12 total opinions, 2 positive ones suggest that some customers felt they got a fair deal for their money. This positive sentiment, however, contrasts with the overall picture.
Despite some positive feedback, the majority of customers found the value to be a sticking point. With 8 negative opinions, many felt the price was too high, often described as pricey, especially for salads. The strict substitution policy, charging extra for changes, also left a sour taste, contributing to an overall average 4.5 score and a poor 16.7% customer satisfaction.

If youre looking for a budget-friendly meal, this might not be your top pick, as many find it pricey for what you get. However, if you dont mind paying a bit more for large portions and specific salad choices, you might find some value here, just be wary of extra charges for substitutions.

You’re looking at roughly 13 per person – reported by 5 diners. That puts it in the $11–$20 category. For a Salad Shop, it’s comfortably mid-range: not a steal, but not bank-breaking either.
While the average sits in the mid-range, we see a mix of prices, with some guests spending less and others a bit more. Since we only have 5 reviews, this data is limited but gives a good indication.

Reliable Lunch Spot with Online Ordering
You can always count on MIXT for a good lunch salad. I love the selection of fresh toppings. Before the pandemic, the line used to be crazy.
I do miss those days when a big group of my colleagues and I ate here. Nowadays, I just order on the website and then pick it up. It will be ready on the shelf against the back wall by the time I walk over.
It is very convenient. The only drawback is they don't toss the salad when you order online. But I do understand that salads will get mushy if the dressing is on it for too long.
On a nice day, sitting outside under their yellow umbrellas is relaxing.

Sick after eating salads
We ate their salads with 3 people from the office, and we all got sick a couple hours later. I love Mixt normally and we used to eat their salads a couple times a week because it’s close to our office. But today, we all got devastating diarrhea and couldn’t continue working.
It can’t be a coincidence.
