ThisBowl

ThisBowl, an Australian import to Noho, makes fancy salads for a hoard of people in tan leggings and claw clips. Inside, it looks and sounds like a store that could convince you to spend too much money on a pair of sneakers. But their bowls, all around $16, are actually really good.

You can build your own, but we'd recommend going with one of the house favorites, like The O.G., or the miso salmon. Order at the counter, where someone will explain that the crispy crunch has fried shallots and sansho chili in it with the enthusiasm of a scientist who has just had a major, salad-related breakthrough. In case the internet told you this salad bowl would change your life, good luck with that. But for a quick meal that has enough dressing and perfectly-cooked protein to be deeply satisfying—along with enough curly kale to feel like you're making a good choice for your body—this is a great option. Sweetgreen should be scared.
