I'd really give it a 4.5 if that was a thing.
I visited on a weekday peak lunchtime hours (between noon-1pm) and the place was packed - all the seats inside were taken, almost all the outside terrace/patio seats were filled and the line was super long. Surprisingly enough though, the line moved very quickly and I was able to place my order in a minute or 2. Since I can be a picky eater with raw ingredients, I decided to customize my salad with - romaine lettuce, organic greens, blue cheese, feta cheese, avocado, rice noodles, sunflower seeds, and edamame along with a green dressing, which came to $12.49 +tax. The girl taking my order was very helpful and gave me 3 samples of dressings to try, since I had no idea what any of them tasted like, so if you're picky about your dressing and would like to try them out, they give you a small piece of lettuce with the dressing to taste and test out.
Even though the restaurant was incredibly busy, there were constantly salads in large ceramic bowls being brought out and I go my take-out salad too within 10 minutes. This place is pretty dog-friendly too, as I saw a customer bring her dog in as she placed her order. On the side, in a fridge beside the cashier/counter there are bowls of some of the premixed salads, fresh juices, and small mini salads. They also sell smoothies and some sweets (cookies, brownies, etc.) on the side.
I feel like the salads in the bowls are a little bigger than the take-out container ones, but even so, the take-out container ones are very large and filling, even mine without any protein. I did find that the majority of my avocado was at the top and all the edamame was the bottom, so it would have been nice if the salad was a little better mixed. There was also a bit too much dressing for my taste, so you can request for lights/less dressing when you order as well.
