This place is located in an area of narrow streets near ASU where you have to pay for parking. However, they will validate your parking if you park in the Novus parking garage. Flower Child focuses on healthier options. I wish their website showed actual pictures, but how their main entrees work is that you pick a main protein from steak, chicken, salmon, shrimp, or tofu and then pick 2 sides which range from roasted carrots, kale salad, roasted sweet potato fries, red chile glazed sweet potato, roasted vegetables, smashed gold potato, fresh fruit, grilled asparagus, gluten-free mac & cheese, sweet corn & quinoa, brown rice, cauliflower risotto, and roasted brocoli. I found out about this place because I saw an ad for Fox Restaurant gift cards. I would suggest waiting for a major holiday and going to the following website: https://www.foxrc.com/ to see if they have a sale on their gift cards. I was able to get a sale that essentially gives me 17% (buy $120 worth of food for a $100 gift card) that includes not only Flower Child but a bunch of other restaurants. Then, if that wasn't enough, you can sign up to their E Bites newsletter to get $10 off any order that's over $20. Even though it says it's only for online purchases, the customer service is so good at these restaurants that they'll give you the $10 off by eating in the restaurant. I had a tofu entree with mac & cheese and roasted vegetables, a chocolate pudding, and Peruvian braised beef bowl. Each of my discounted food items tasted fantastic. The only foible I saw was that they need to list that the Peruvian braised beef bowl comes with onions. With such great deals, you should definitely give this place a try. read more

I hand out 5 stars like candy so this is a different type of review for me. To start, the staff were so friendly. I wanted to like Flower Child, but the experience didn't quite land for me. The atmosphere felt too minimal and basic, and the food was bland overall. Unfortunately, I also didn't feel well after eating here, which made it hard to overlook the rest. This was the only meal I had Saturday and I spent all of Saturday and Sunday vomiting. I had to cancel plans and the pain was absolutely unbearable. If I'm going to get food poisoning Id prefer to be poisoned with great tasting food. Won't be back. read more

So goodd!! Actually healthy and delicious. Came after run club one day and got the Flying Avocado wrap with roasted turkey and avocado, gouda, romaine, tomato, and hummus. Pricier than other chain places but the quality of food did seem really good. Also tried strawberry kombucha a bit and was pretty blown away. Maybe I was just hungry after run club lol =P. Also got to try my friend Mateo's sweet potato fries with the sauce that they come with, and he said they were super good but I didn't quite believe until I tried them and woww they were. Not too busy in evening on a weekday but also it's around Christmas holidays so. Oh and came after and got the chicken plate with brussel sprouts and the sweet potato fries with sauce that time which was solid as well. read more

On what I would consider the corner of ASu campus. Service was fast and efficient. Sat outside for the perfect spring AZ weather. Food was fresh and full of flavor. Had the salmon with roasted vegetables and sweet potatoes fries. Everything tasted amazing. Salmon was fresh. Sweet potato fries were perfect between sweet and salty. I would ask for them to be more crispy next time (my preference). Everyone in our party really enjoyed our meals. We will be back the next time we are in town. read more

Brought a bigger party here and it wasn't bad! Pretty quick service, the line did move extremely slowly though. We sat outside and had a beautiful view of the new area, and enjoyed our lunch. I had the enchiladas and they had a lot of flavor. I am not the biggest fan of this place previously but my experience at this location might have changed my mind! read more

Flower Child - Enchiladas - New American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Flower Child is one of my favorite restaurant concepts ever. Fresh and tasty food at a decent price ... seriously, what could be better? I love this new location near ASU, and am sure they get a lot of foot traffic from students and visitors alike during the school year! Our group of four stopped in over the holidays for dinner, and it actually wasn't too busy! We ordered right away, although there was a little mix-up with the parking situation, and we ended up having to move our car while we were waiting for our food. (Note - the garage they validate for is NOT the Piedmont Garage right across the street. They DO validate for the ASU Novus Parking Structure around the corner). Either way, we got it sorted out! Between the four of us, we ordered a good sampling of the menu. I love their Avocado Caesar with grilled chicken, and a side of sweet potato fries. Their ranch is one of my absolute favorites anywhere, and it's the perfect pairing for their flavorful sweet potato fries. My husband ordered the enchiladas, which I've never had before, but may be a new go-to for me after stealing a bite of his. I really love how customizable their menu is - whether you're looking for just a protein and some greens, or a full entree. Whatever you do, don't skip out on dessert. Their chocolate pudding is to die for ... it tastes just like an Almond Joy, and it's vegan and gluten-free! read more

Flower Child is easily one of my favorite restaraunt in the valley. This was my first time going to this location by ASU and wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere was great and decorations were cute. Staff was very friendly! I ordered the tofu with cauliflower rice and roasted broccoli. All of it was good but I've had better broccoli at other locations. I also tried the rose lemonade. That was my 2nd time trying the rose lemonade hoping it would be better than last time, but it still tasted like regular lemonade to me which was disappointing. Be sure to park in the Novus Place parking garage so they can validate your parking. read more

Literally waited 30 mins past my estimated pickup time for my order. They are always beyond slow and the cashiers are snobby little college girls who stare at you blankly when you ask to be checked in. Was excited for this location but service is truly such a disappointment. read more

Literally everything I've tried at Flower Child is so good! I just wish their portions were a little bigger considering the price. read more

Gets the job done well. I've been to a few locations and they keep in consistent. Nice, clean restaurant with good outdoor seating. Both wraps were good. We had the Flying Avocado and the Rebel. Tasty and decent size portions. The brownie we got was delicious. I would come back for sure. read more

Beautiful location near ASU's Tempe campus, serving healthy and delicious meals! Flower Child's fast casual fits in perfectly with the neighborhood and is a welcome addition to the area. I usually order salads, but there's no wrong decision as everything on the menu is great. Expect a quick-moving line if you come during peak hours but nothing extreme. Street parking is available nearby for about $3/hour but the restaurant will pay for your parking at the Novus garage. read more

Flower Child is located in the new area at the Novus plaza (across Rural Ave from Trader Joe's). It's a big place with indoor and outdoor seating. You order at the counter and they bring you the food. The food is really good, not too big and not too small. Prices seem a little high for what you get. It's good place for Lunch with friends and is big enough seating won't be a problem. It's very clean and new. read more

Came in on a really busy night and had an issue with my dish, but Trinity handled everything so kindly and professionally. She was super understanding and made sure I was taken care of. It really turned my experience around. Amazing customer service! read more

Really disappointed because I paid for a to-go entree meal that comes with two sides, and only got one side. Found out when I got home. I was really looking forward to getting the kale salad. This was a +$17 meal. read more

This place was super easy. Order at the counter and they bring your food to you! It's definitely a healthy restaurant and they have a good variety of options. My wrap was okay, not bad, but I don't think I would order it again. There just wasn't a ton of flavor. I was with a group who all ordered other things so I would definitely want to go back and order some other options as many of them really liked their foods. read more

Flower Child - Flying avocado wrap - New American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I was so excited when I heard that flower child was coming to ASU. The dining room and patio are both gorgeous with nice lighting and decor. I wasn't very hungry so I ordered the kids meal with steak, quinoa/corn, and broccoli. The steak was cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor. I'm quinoa and corn were also delicious. The broccoli was quite bland, but makes sense for kids! I thought this meal was a very reasonable size for the price. I tried my friend's enchiladas and they were delicious as well!! Overall, i definitely recommend flower child if you're looking for a tasty and healthy place! read more

Flower Child - Kids meal with steak - New American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We stopped in here for a quick lunch and a had a great experience. We placed our order at the counter and the staff was super friendly and helpful. There were so many great options but we ended up going with the avocado Caesar with chicken and a build your own bowl with chicken, sweet potato, and kale. Once you order you sit down and the staff will bring out your order. Our food came out very fast. We enjoyed our meals and everything was very tasty! Perfect lighter portions for lunch. The inside of the restaurant was very nicely decorated and super clean. When we finished eating the staff came and collected our plates and asked us how our meals were. Would definitely come back and definitely recommend! read more

I come to this location way too much for the girl to be so rude on the phone when one of her coworkers is clearly shedding hair into peoples food. I ordered on doordash, got my bag sealed and everything just to find 3 black hairs in my bowl. "Oh well that's a doordash problem." No how about you get hairnets for your kitchen staff?? Absolutely disgusting and disappointing. Go to another location just incase you have any problems, because clearly this location is run by a bunch of college kids who don't care (and shed hair into your food!) read more

We usually love Flower Child. Our chicken was undercooked and the Mac n cheese was too salty. We got our food to go so we couldn't return or complain. I normally would not take the time to write a review for Flower Child but it is expensive and I would expect quality from them. read more

The food is ok. Kind of dry and the salmon was too fishy. The rice with corn wasn't as good.

Love the food..its yummy. Healthy too. Great selection of food ...try different things.

I'm a big flower child fan, but this location is a 3.5 (I rounded up to 4). The vegetables were a bit oily and the chicken was super dry. The interior uses a big open floor plan. But it lacks the decor and "uniqueness" of the arcadia location. read more

Flower Child - Steak, gluten free mac and cheese and lemon broccoli - New American Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The food is awesome just small-ish portions. The people were pretty nice. I think they were training so they were a little stressed maybe.

I was visiting and stumbled upon this one. Great food. Big open place that can serve huge crowds. Wall art is delightful

I recently visited Flower Child and placed and order for pickup. Unfortunately, it wasn't as efficient as I had hoped. I understand that the restaurant can get busy, but there was no eye contact or acknowledgment from the staff, and there didn't seem to be any sense of urgency. The pickup area felt unorganized, and overall, the customer service experience could use some improvement. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry, I know that organization, efficiency, and providing additional help at the front counter during busy times can really make a difference. It would also be helpful to have clearer signage indicating where to pick up orders (DoorDash and other online orders) and how to contact a staff member, especially when there's a long line blocking the counter. I got to my house and when I opened my bag the takeout box didn't even have the lid on and my steak and risotto spilled on the side of the bag. Overall I love this restaurant and always enjoy the good food, but haven't experienced the greatest takeout service from them. read more

Flower child is becoming one of my favorite restaurants. The consistency every time I order salmon it is delicious cooked too perfect perfection they've never missed. The lemon broccoli is to die for and of course their mac & cheese is outstanding. The atmosphere is so pleasant and I've never had a rude employee. From ordertaking to delivery, absolutely friendly welcoming people. They're doing something right! read more

This place sucks and I wouldn't want this place even if was free customer service sucks too and Gm is stupid chicken was dry steak over cooked rice bland just bad experience overall read more

This is the third time I've ordered it to go.... I feel like I'm just licking a salt block. My broccoli, sweet potatoes fries, and even my chicken and cauliflower "risotto". It's so salty to the point I can't eat past a couple of bites. I'm sorry. The Gilbert location does justice. This one, not at all and I hate how much money I spend to get sent a pile of salt. I hope you guys can reimburse or something or me bring the food in for you all to try to eat just to prove how inedible it is. It's disgusting. Especially when I'm trying to find a healthier place for me to eat. My wife is literally the LAST person to ever complain and ever to send back a meal, and she thought her entire meal was salt and disgusting. I'm so upset about the quality of this food with how expensive it is. read more

I love Flower Child, but after last experience I feel like I will be unable to eat there again for quite sometime. Was sick within an hour and unable to leave the bathroom for hours after our last visit. Steak was mushy and the glazed sweet potato had a very overwhelming oil taste. read more

Food was amazing and ambience was adorable! Went back a second time and will definitely stop back when we are in Tempe again!

Had a small mishap with my food but the manager Trinity was SO accommodating and nice. This service alone will make me come back a million times over!! read more
