Honeygrow

(²⁄₁₀₀)
I’d like to give Honeygrow a 3.5; but I’ll round down because I do plan to go again. Hopefully their score will increase.
I’ve wanted to try this place out for awhile now. I left work at 4 and headed to Honeygrow. It’s on my way home and I arrived around 4:20. I walked in and was greeted by a very nice young woman. She asked me if it was my first time there and I told her yes. She told me you order from the kiosk and if I have any questions, to just ask her. That really made a positive impression on me. She seemed genuinely kind.
The kiosks are located in front of their open kitchen area. The kiosks are really user friendly. I decided to go with a pre made selection and just tweaked it to my liking. I ordered the sesame garlic noodle bowl. I decided to swap out the beef (–3.35) and add shrimp (+3.45) instead. I didn’t want the bell peppers and instead added baby Bella mushrooms. I also added a cage free egg (an extra $ 1.25) and cilantro as my topping. I also got a fountain drink (2.25)
They called out my number and asked if it was to dine in or to go. I told them it was a dine in but they already had it boxed up. I stood against the wall and waited. Someone put a bowl on the tray but never said what number it was. I probably waited around 10 minutes before they figured out it was my order.
I thought their soda selection was cool. I picked the lemonade; all of their drinks are made with pure cane sugar. The lemonade was VERY sweet, I put half water + half lemonade. It was really tasty but I wish they had bigger drink cup options. They only offer a 12 ounce cup.
My noodle bowl was very tasty but they never gave me the egg. They also gave me the wrong noodles. I also ordered from the honey bar (5.45) I got blueberries, maple yogurt (.50), strawberries, grapes, chocolate chips, wildflower honey, and whipped cream (.50) It was absolutely DELICIOUS. I couldn’t believe how good it was.
I emailed them last night and they emailed me first thing this morning. That’s what I call excellent customer service.

Ordered the fried noodles. It was super greasy, had two pieces of broccoli, two pieces of tofu, and some chicken. Calling this place overpriced is an understatement. This is a glorified corner chinese takeout, actually thats insulting to any chinese take out place. At least the food was fresh. Would I come again? Nope.

Super friendly service. Atmosphere can be described as modern/​health conscious. You make your order on computers in the back of the building and then wait for your order whether you are dining in or out. Kind of a Wawa style service for food. You can end up waiting a long time or a short period of time depending on whether you come at a busy hour. Highly recommend.

Let me first start by saying my food is always delicious from Honeygrow! However, the wait is always ridiculously long. Anywhere from 15 – 20 minutes! Ugh… during my visit today, my order number was called, I walked to the counter to pickup my order, and noticed the guy that called my number was peeling back the sticker on my food and opening it. I stood there and just looked at him, after a few seconds, I asked if he was going to continue opening my food container?! He proceeds to say oh I don’t know what I’m doing! Do I believe that response?! HECK NO! Will I be back?! HECK NO! That’s creepy and weird that someone was going to open my container of food without my permission.

Verrrrry delicious stir fry but it was a long wait (20+ minutes) it was nice to order from the screen though, made it easy. The oyster sauce based one with pork was great. Good quality food.

Very friendly customer service at this location especially the manager.
Love this food concept.
Placed a late night order on a Sunday night, got stuck in traffic on the road, didn’t get there till after close, they held our food 5mins past close time and still we’re friendly when we arrived. This is a true positive customer service experience.

Having been to the location in Center City, this location should get nothing less than a four star rating. I went during what would be considered the high traffic lunch hour and I may have waited no more than 10 minutes for my order, which is not bad at all.
I haven’t tried their salads yet, but I love to get the stir fry with either the white rice noodles or the mix of black and brown rice. I usually create my own stir fry because you can go crazy and add almost anything you wish. I love the sour cherry BBQ sauce because it has a sweet and tangy taste.
Parking in the area can be a little tricky, considering the other restaurant choices in the area.

I’d probably avoid this place during the lunch hour, but I’m a fan.
I have to admit one of the main reasons I like Honeygrow is that I can order from a touch screen and they have fountain sodas with cane sugar. They are also fast getting you in and out, although like I said, I can’t imagine they have much seating during the lunch hour. I’m still working my way through their menu, but I’ve tried both their salads and stir-​frys and haven’t been disappointed yet. Definitely recommend them if you’re looking something different for lunch or dinner and need to be in and out fast.
PS: This location is actually in Radnor, not Wayne.

I have eaten lunch here about 6 times since it has opened, and have been very satisfied every time. You get your money’s worth in quantity and high quality, and there are endless combination possibilities when customizing your dish.
I usually get a rice or egg noodle stir-​fry bowl and load it up with veggies — sometimes I add tofu and/​or shrimp, and I usually get the spicy garlic or red coconut curry sauce. The ingredients are fresh and so delicious. Only one time was an ingredient accidentally omitted, but they quickly and apologetically brought me a bowl of it when I brought it to their attention. The fountain drinks are made with real sugar; I prefer the iced green tea.
I have yet to try their salads, but have heard good things from friends and coworkers who have had them. (And the salads can accommodate the gluten-​free crowd, since you are basically creating whatever you order.)
They get very busy during the lunch hour (12−1pm) but they move pretty quickly. I have always found the employees to deliver good service, too. I will most definitely be back, and recommend you give it a try!

I’m a huge fan of honeygrow. I often order take out with a group from work for lunch. The stir fry is very tasty — you can customize it or choose a standard option. I recommend the red coconut curry or the sour cherry bbq sauces with wheat noodles and a range of your favorite vegetables with shrimp for protein. Honesty you can’t really go wrong with the stir fry — the rice and noodle are good, the sauces are delicious and the vegetables are always fresh! The salad has prefixed choices and a customizable option. I prefer to create my own and put my favorites fruit and veggies in it topped off with white balsamic vinaigrette. Finally, the kale’atta smoothie is extremely yummy. It has kale, banana, pineapple, and mint — very fresh and also vegan!
The ordering system is awesome! Honeygrow has these touch screens to place orders whether they are customizable or the standard prefixed options. The interface is user-​friendly and it’s very easy to make changed to the order as needed
The only reason I gave this place a ⁴⁄₅ instead of a full 5 is that they sometimes make mistakes with orders. They have sometimes forgotten the right salad dressing or one time did not put any of the requested vegetables. I know mistakes can happen especially with larger orders but this has happened consistently when ordering from honeygrow
Overall: Delicious stir fry and salad, very customizable, however, there are often mistakes with some of the orders.

Love this place! Always fresh tasting and plenty of options for modifying your meal! I usually go for the stir fry and really enjoy the sesame garlic sauce (which is like a soy sauce). I’ve tried the spicy garlic and it’s a little too spicy for me, although being nine months pregnant may have something to do with that! I’ve only gotten veggie stir fry, even though I do eat meat. I feel like there is plenty of veggies and flavor, that I don’t miss the meat in it.
Very clean, lunch can be very busy so it’s best to go before or after the business person rush. Definitely worth a try!

Honeygrow is a good place to get a quick lunch. I got the stir fry with noodles and it was pretty good. The service here is great and the employees are friendly. The price was reasonable for the area and the amount of food they give you. I would go back.

Who knew healthy could taste so good? Honeygrow is a great balance of taste, health, and innovation.
HG is hip little spot where you order with kiosks similar to those at Wawa. You can fully customize your grub or you can be like me and take the suggested meals to save time. I was half expecting the kiosk to detect I was an SUV driver or conservative, and shutdown on me. (kidding of course)
The crowd seemed to be mostly female, and everyone looks very fit and healthy. It reminds of the crowds I see at marathons. Its a nice place to meet like minded people if you’re into health and fitness.
The soda fountain was very cool with locally brewed pure kane sodas and organic teas. Or you could go with a Kale smoothie and add few months to your life.
I’m almost tempted to give them 5 stars, but where as the food was good, it didnt blow me away. So we’ll settle on 4. Definitely a place to check out though.

When time and money are both scarce, Honeygrow is a great place to grab a healthy meal that is quickly-​prepared and inexpensive.
Honeygrow offers two types of dishes: salads and stir-​frys.
Service —
When I walk in, I’m always pleasantly greeted with a smile and a cheerful «Welcome to Honeygrow.» There is a staff member floating around who will check in to see how you’re enjoying your meal. [Honeygrow doesn’t offer table service, it’s more fast food style, but this attention to customer service is very nice.]
Food —
I always get the same thing: a mesclun green salad with roasted sweet potatoes, roasted Brussel sprouts, mango-​cilantro quinoa, tofu, wasabi peas, & white balsamic vinaigrette. I love the sweet starchiness of the potatoes and the slightly bitter and tangy Brussels. The acidity from the dressing cuts the heavy toppings, and the mild wasabi peas offer a pleasant crunch. This salad costs $ 8.60. I most appreciate the fact that they never skimp on the toppings.
While I rotate between Whole Foods’ salad bar and Honeygrow, I always get more of what I want at a lower price at Honeygrow.

The concept of Honeygrow is pretty cool– a more «modern» wawa-​like ordering system, a glowing interior, and locally-​sourced ingredients. Of course, locally-​sourced doesn’t necessarily mean healthy, and despite the vibe Honeygrow seems to give out, it can be pretty damn easy to create your own heart-​stopping 3000 calorie stir fry, but with some discipline it’s definitely possible to create a healthy meal here too.
In addition, the staff are typically friendly and on the last visit the (I assume) manager was walking around asking everyone how everything was.
The complaints: First, I cannot find nutrition information ANYWHERE. This is not a mom and pop shop, it’s basically a chain now and they should have even basic nutrition information for their stir fries.
Stir fries tend to take a while to make. Even when there’s no one ahead of me, it is usually a 10 minute or so wait. And they’re expensive– especially if you deviate at all from the suggested stir fries. Adding an additional «protein» is pricey, and it seems that it just results in reducing the amount of the first meat, rather than getting twice as much. For the price (usually $ 10+ stir fries), there really seems to be A LOT of noodles and not much meat.
Finally, on the past two occasions in a row now, ordering salad dressing on the side has resulted in me coming home to find no salad dressing was included at all.
Undoubtedly a great place to have nearby, but there are some definite improvements that could be made.

Let me start off by saying, I am the first to support restaurants that use local farmers, but… I am not an advocate of overpriced noodles.
I decided to try Honeygrow after I noticed one opened by my house in Radnor. Great vibe and I see where they are trying to go with it.
I ordered the Sesame Garlic w/​steak. $ 9.75
A bit overpriced for what your getting. Only got 4 tiny pieces of steak in my bowl and tasted meh.

I have to admit I was SO EXCITED when I saw this place outside of Philadelphia, I always went when I lived in center city. Went for lunch yesterday with my friend, it’s a great location and big enough to accommodate a large lunch crowd. Plenty of computer screens for ordering and seating.
Love the organic sodas too! A little different from the center city location but it works much better with their whole concept I think. My stir fry was delicious and all the ingredients were incredibly fresh as usual. Will absolutely be back, I can’t wait!

My wife and never heard of Honeygrow until we found it in Philly. It’s a Philly only based restaurant started by a guy who got bored with his packed lunches at his office job. Now he owns a collection of stores where you order healthy, but good meals from a touch screen TV when you walk in. My wife made her own and I got the Sesame noodles (no need for regular sauce, get the light sauce option).

Honeygrow is a nice healthy option for eating around Radnor and Wayne. There are a lot of stir-​fry and salad combinations for people, or the ability to make your own. They use the Wawa-​style ordering system for everything. Honeygrow offers their own sodas, teas, and smoothies which are quite nice. I cannot comment on the honeybar, though, as I have not tried it. The combinations are nice, but I do wish they would offer more sauces.
The downside is Honeygrow is popular, and I expect it to remain so. It can take longer to get your food than you might wish. If you go during peak lunch hour, expect to wait.

This 5 star rating is against its peers, and by that I mean fast lunch places. Honeygrow wins on value, taste, cleanliness, service, ease of ordering and it was actually fairly fast. I saw around 20 people ahead of me and was worried. But between my ordering time of 12:27 and arrival of food at 12:35, I was impressed. And I ordered a stir fry, which takes longer than a salad.
Honeygrow’s concept is simple, stir fries, salads and smoothies. All are as fresh and as local as possible, which works for things like chicken and some salad greens, maybe not so much for bananas and pineapple, ha ha.
I had the garlic and chicken stir fry and it was great. They are not afraid to use the spice, which I appreciate. It was hot and perfectly cooked, also. You can customize anything on the menu too. All ordering is via a touch screen, which is actually easy to use. Great place, I will be back!
