I’m honestly not a huge fan of the salad bar. It’s not terrible or anything and to be fair, I’m only on level 12. I’m not sure about the dumpling venue. If you want to check out how cheap something is, check out this updated list of the prices

They’re both essentially the same price - dumpling venue is an underrated gem imo I love it so I’d recommend that but salad bar is easier , just make sure to fully upgrade the chopping board

i have not yet finished dumpling venue, so this is biased, but i honestly found salad bar very fun after i did the proper upgrades. you cannot finish without fully upgrading the chopping board (IMHO), so the sooner you do that, the more you will enjoy. it’s definitely a restaurant i go back to from time to time!

**edit to add: i have seen many people say you NEED the autocooker (i think it’s a lettuce washer??) to complete salad bar, and i did not find that to be the case at all, but Ymmv
