The menu at Salad Box is thoughtfully curated to delight the senses with a variety of nourishing options. Their Chicken King Wrap stands out—a flour tortilla embracing crisp green lettuce, tender marinated chicken, creamy double cream, sweet corn, and a luscious Caesar dressing. This wrap expertly balances smoky, tangy, and fresh flavors, making it a satisfying grab-and-go choice. For those craving a complete meal, the combo selections evolve into real crowd-pleasers.

The staff’s friendly and polite demeanor enhances the experience, making each visit more than just a routine meal. Although some customers note that the soups—particularly the creamy options—can run out during busy hours, the overall quality and freshness of ingredients persist as a highlight.

Several regulars praise Salad Box for maintaining consistently fresh flavors and speedy service. One enthusiastic diner pointed out that the Cluj-Napoca location often delivers the best tasting experience compared to others, a testament to local care and attention. While some reflect on the pricing as slightly on the higher side for fast food, the healthy alternatives and flavorful options justify the occasional splurge.

Standard salad bar, with a good variety of ingredients to pick from. It tends to be very crowded at lunch time (after 12, usually) and the cream soups are out of stock pretty quickly. For a "fast food" restaurant I would say it is a bit pricey, but at least it is a healthy alternative.

it's quite ok, though the prices have been going up lately (while the quantity and quality stays the same; and for the similar price of a salad/bowl you can get a business lunch in the nearby restaurants ), the service is very nice, staff is usually polite and friendly, at lunch time there is (obviously) quite a big queue - so try getting there before 12-12:30, if you don't want to spend 30min standing in line (plus, some days are more crowded than others )

Whenever I feel the need to eat something "light" and also quick, I end up standing in line at salad box. I tried different kind of salads, and all were tasty. The ingredients are fresh. What I recently discovered was the soup and wrap combo menu. For around 20 ron you get a really filling meal that is not high in calories. I recommend the chicken soup if you're into that.
