The Asian Sesame with Chicken salad is a light, crunchy, and incredibly flavorful option inspired by Eastern culinary traditions. We use crisp romaine lettuce topped with tender grilled chicken, fresh cilantro, and a blend of toasted almonds and sesame seeds. For that essential 'snap', we add crispy wonton strips.
The entire salad is drizzled with our Asian Sesame Vinaigrette, which is perfectly balanced between sweet, salty, and savory, making it one of our most refreshing and craveable menu items.

Most people order the Asian Sesame with Chicken straight off the board. Here's the shortcut to better flavor: a few zero-cost tweaks that regulars swear by.
Ask for the Asian Sesame with Chicken dressing on the side so you control the flavor. Request warm grains added to the base for a heartier meal. Swap croutons for toasted almonds if you want crunch without the carbs. Pair with a cup of soup in You Pick Two ($11.99) for a complete lunch.
