This place is the burner! I am not even vegan but I love eating there. Their ice cream is out of this world and their food tastes amazing. The place is fairly simple but it still gives you a nice feeling when you there or you can just call in and take the food with you. The waiters are great and you feel comfortable talking to them. An absolute must if you live in scottsdale read more

Wow what a find. They have a great menu - makes it hard to pick. Decided on a lemon pesto bowl with mock chicken and organic brown rice. Good choice! It came out quickly and was piping hot. And really good. I actually had to ask them what kind of chicken they use because I thought maybe I was mistaken and it was real chicken. Sigh of relief. no its soy based and specially made for them. Also tried their rosemary fries and it was quite a large basket of skinny fries. Really good. Can't wait to try their breakfast menu cuz it looks great read more

SO DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this place :) If you're looking for a great small, quaint place to have vegetarian food TRY IT!!! Their Ice Cream is Delicious, the staff's fantastic and the food is yummy. Healthy :) read more

Been enjoying Green for years. Sadly since the remodel the food has not been the same. A bit before the remodel when the menu changed the eggless rolls went from being a little but of heaven to being the main thing I detract people from ordering. Today my po-boy was by far the worst if had from green. It is so close & have been proud to give local & vegan my business, I'll give it a few more tries. read more

I've been once, and the food was delicious, but later my tummy was a little upset from the imitation meat. I ate my leftovers the next day and felt fine, so I think it was just because I'm not used to eating fake meat. My boyfriend is a huge fan of this place, and I'm definitely down to go again. read more

Oh my, so good! Their Big Wac is amazing. My husband who is a legit meat eater was in awe of the taste and how it literally was better than a Big Mac. My toddler gobbled up the chicken nuggets, more so than "real" chicken nuggets. I think I drank a gallon of the elderberry tea. Everything was so darn good. I only wish there was one closer to me in the East Valley (open one in Gilbert!). I can't wait to go back! read more

Very popular place. I ordered coconut curry with mock chicken for take out. It was delicious. The ice cream was spectacular. I love the taste of vanilla soy milk. I will definitely come back to try more. read more

Omg I love this place. The one in Phoenix is cool cause it has a bakery next door but the Tempe one is great cause you don't have the parking issues you sometimes have in Phoenix. As a long time vegetarian my girlfriend and I have visited several vegetarian and vegetarian friendly places throughout the valley and always end up coming back here. Their food is spectacular and the staff is always very nice. Try the Buffalo wings or the crab puffs. The BBQ chicken sandwich is good too but a bit simple. If you're in Tempe (and possibly Phoenix) try the soynamis they're awesome. read more

These guys are awesome. The best vegetarian place in town. Their food is delicious and they bring it out really fast. I'm def coming back on my next visit to AZ. read more

Green Restaurant - Secret Sammi burger. - Vegetarian Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Loved this and its sister restaurant in Phoenix. Favs were the Cheesesteak, Thai Peanut Bowl, Crab Puffs, Egglessrolls, and Chili Fries. Great options, tastes, and textures. I would be here constantly if I lived in this area...but I'm glad I travel here a few times a year because this is in my top 3 veg joints ever. read more

Wow. Cannot get enough of this place. It's got a really nice ambience about it and the service is really good. My husband and I are recently vegan so we sometimes crave burgers and such. I did not know vegan food could be so good. We would come here even if we weren't vegan. The Big Wac Burger is incredible. Kills those burger cravings every time. Def recommend. read more

Good option for vegans and vegetarians. Most of our dishes tasted good. Some were average but would like to come back and try more.

Love this place! I wish there were more restaurants like this one. Very friendly. Delicious food. Plenty of options!! Great drinks as well. Try the Big Wac ;) read more

This is by far my favorite vegan/vegetarian restaurant I have ever been to. They don't skimp on anything. From the buttery crispiness of a toasted bun burger, to the juicy taste of their chicken wings, it hits the spot every single time. I really don't know what to recommend... probably just order the whole entire menu??? If you are plant-based and longing for the taste of old fashioned bar/diner type of food without all the grease, this is the place for you. The hip atmosphere is also really fun to be a part of. read more

Just found this place today and couldn't be happier! Got the BFF, Peanut salad, and fried Brussels sprouts. Yum yum yum. Placed the order to go and picked it up in ten minutes. The place is warm and inviting, staff was friendly, prices were great and the food was fantastic. What more could you want? Highly recommend you give it a try. read more

I finally ordered from here last night had the wings and the cheesesteak when I tried both the flavors were there but the texture seemed off... I'm not currently vegetarian or vegan but have been for about half of my life,well after I are my dinner I started to feel sick now I've been dealing with food poisoning since last night. Service was great but I don't like being sick because I wanted a quick meal after a long day ,sadly will not be coming back again. read more

This is the BEST vegan food I've ever had. In fact, it's the best food be had in general.

mmm vegan fast food or I guess comfort food. :) Lots of great choices here, love the crab puffs, and the Thai noodle bowl. Service is always fast and friendly and the decor is artsy. Very cool place to hang out and eat. read more

While I generally shy away from "pretend meats and dairy," I have to hand it to Green for doing both exceptionally well. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and generally amazing, and every non-vegetarian I have taken to this restaurant has been blown away! I especially love the "moo-shroom po-boy," which is a vegan version of a pulled-pork sandwich, made with an espresso barbecue sauce and bell peppers. It's extraordinarily messy, but even more delicious. Their artichoke dip is also great, and does very well in the fridge; I think it might have been better the next day. Just keep in mind that the place is usually crowded, so if you are going with a group, avoid peak hours! read more

Cool place, and you don't need to be a vegetarian to enjoy it. My fiance honestly thought he was eating chicken shwarma made out of chicken. I told him after we left. read more

YOU MUST EAT HERE! Love THE Salad and my S'more Tsunami. Well, it was my daughters, but still it was delicious. Service was great. I was totally impressed. read more

My wife and I were at an environmental conference in phoenix last week. Would you believe an environmental conference didn't have vegetarian food options? So, we had to look elsewhere for dinner. We were glad we found Greens and likely will be back on our next trip to the desert. The place must be close to ASU after seeing a plethora of customers that certainly looked the college part. After reading all of these reviews on the crabcakes, we had to try them and I'm not sure what the big whoop was all about. Ours appeared to be kind of burnt and maybe that was the problem but I didn't actually care for the filling either. Being out of towners, we weren't quite sure how the place works. So, we were actually sitting at a table for several minutes before we realized we had to order at the register. For the entrees, we had trouble deciding and had to ask some helpful patrons while standing in line for some advice. We got the Drunken chicken and Thai Peanut. The Drunken Chicken was the better of the two dishes. read more

Very delicious! You won't miss the meat. The Singapore tofu rocked. Everything smelled great and the service was wonderful. I will be back with the vegetarian children! read more

Green totally fulfills the need for the college town to have a collegey, hippey, hip, dim-lit vegan restaurant. I like the ambience though I couldn't find it the first time I was there. The options are pretty expansive and the pricing very very reasonable. I have always been a vegetarian, so while meat eaters love the authenticity of the mock meat texture, I wouldn't say I was entirely comfortable with all the mocks. On one of my million visits, the flavors of one of the dishes (a rice dish that I can't recall now) didn't work for me, but that is probably just me. And it was just once. read more

Love the atmosphere. The soy-namis are amazing. I'm not vegan but do crave some of their stuff periodically. Most of the menu is great but I do not like the Mexicali Burger or the noodle bowls. Mexicali burger is smushy and the flavors are blagh. The noodle bowls are easy enough for me to make at home...why would I pay someone else to make them for me? read more

I have been here twice now and will be going back again. Each time I have ordered the special of the day and haven't been disappointed. The mock meat has more flavor than 'real' meat in each of the sandwiches I had. In fact, if the cost was a little more reasonable, I think I would prefer their mock meat over the real thing most of the time! Definitely would recommend it to anyone to try. read more

The food is fantastic. I pretty much always get whatever the special is. I think the sandwiches are honestly a little better than their stir-fry stuff but this does not detract from how awesome the place is. Go for the Spicy G if you want a spicy faux-chicken thing or the Argentine PoBoy for a delicious, sweet flanksteak-type meat sandwich. It is a little pricey sometimes, but you are paying for specialty foods. Their vegan/veggie market in the store is convenient if you want to try something out, but it's really marked up in comparison to buying almost any of these things from the internet (not even in bulk). read more

The food is pretty good, especially good for vegan fare, they've got a decent gluten free menu set up too! Problems are in the service, since the start of summer 2011 it has gone way downhill. Today I waited for 35 min for my food, had other people who ordered after me served, then when they finally noticed me, they came over and told me to come up and ask if my food is taking too long. Isn't that their job to serve in a timely manner? Since when do I pay $10 for $4 worth of food to not get served? On top of it, they screwed up my order, I had to go back in and get it fixed (more waiting time). Being late, being stupid, and being wrong? Three strikes in one visit - this place is done. I won't be going back. read more

My version of fast/comfort food. Consistently delicious.

I love Green! When I moved out to AZ Land from Cali... I was soo sad that i couldnt find any vegetarian places then I discovered green! I am a patron! There all the time! The food is soooo delish! I am constantly craving a tasty asian bowl or their delish buffalo wings with their crisp green salad!!! bliss.... love love love love love love love :) read more

Green is by far one of my favorite restaurants to eat at. My husband loves it too and he is a carnivore! Our favorite things to get are the "boneless buffalo wings" and something that another customer shared with me while waiting in line that is not on the menu "the Wendy's pickle sandwich" It is amazing! Another special they have from time to time is "the big WAC" and I must say it is better than the real thing!!!!! read more

I'm not sure what's going on but it seems like they are adding more salt to most of their stuff and I can barely stand it anymore. I love this place but honestly they need to ease up on the salt or I won't be able to eat there anymore. I really wish they would update their menu too. read more

Amazing food for the vegan or vegetarian. Pretty much everything on the menu is top notch.

Amazing food, i go here about once a month. Crab puffs and No harm parm are wonderful.

I've been here on several occasions and I am always satisfied! Just pure vegan decadence.

The best food: tasty, fresh, reasonably priced, served in a totally unpretentious setting. Great selection of dishes and drinks. The vibe is very laid back. The last time we were there a group of bikers parked their choppers in the parking lot, came in and chowed down on some real vegan treats. Very copasetic!! read more

I was hungry and decided to try out the Green in Tempe because my experience at the one in Phoenix was a long time ago, but very good from the memories I recalled. We drove and found parking (slightly tight, because this place is busy and there are spots but not too many of them lying around) and proceeded to head in. It was about 2:30PM at this point, so I assumed it would be settled down after a lunch rush. No such thing. This place was full, busy, and still churning out food like it never had been slow to begin with. That is a great start in my books. We (I dragged my fella in tow for this stop) headed up to the counter and grabbed a menu and looked through what to get. When the line moved up and it was our turn we ordered, paid, and took a number to place on a table of our choosing. The staff was pleasant, although fairly quiet, but they moved us along politely and we waited. While waiting for the food, we bought beverages which you can either grab from their fridge, or choose from 4 refillable drinks. We choose the refillable drinks and chugged away. Green Tea (strong, deep flavor), Lemonade (mild lemon taste, not a ton of sugar), Limeade with Ginger (lime was a good taste, could not taste ginger), and I believe it is called Virmto (a medium weight beverage tasting like cherries, weirdly addicting, you should have a taste) They bring our food and it was filling and just enough for lunch. Spicy Buffalo "Wings" ($5.00) For those that don't like spice this was not too bad. It had more components of vinegar to the spice than actual heat. The "wings" were great soy chicken substitutes and I did not miss actual chicken in this. If the tartness of these is too much then go ahead and dunk them in the Vegan Cucumber Ranch that comes with it. It was some yummy ranch! Artichoke Chicken Salad ($6.00/$9/00) We ended up getting the small salad and that was plenty for him and I to split. There was a Lemon-Tahini dressing that brightened up the greens very well, the salad leaves were dark & crisp, big pieces of artichoke strewn throughout the salad, and again the soy chicken was fantastic. You can tell it is fake with further inspection, regardless it still tastes fantastic (this was also prepared differently than the wings, it was a longer flat pieces where the wings were more like clusters of soy chicken). Secret BBQ Chicken Sandwich ($8.50) The chicken is prepared the same way in this sandwich as it was in the salad. The BBQ sauce had a tiny (I mean tiny) kick to it and was slightly messy to eat. Prepare for a burger stance with this one (elbows kicked out, looming over the sandwich aggressively). The Tahini Cole-Slaw was good, but had a lot of tahini and peanuts which overpowered the cabbage for me. The downside to the sandwich was the bun. The bun was a plain burger bun that was slightly stale and not that flavorable. The dryness of the bun against the sticky bbq sauce made a consistency that liked to get stuck in my mouth. Not the classiest thing to fix in front of other people, mind you. With eating this food there were people that continued to come and go from the building non stop. The atmosphere is a bit hipster (staff was polite, but other guests really liked themselves and it was obvious) though I saw many suits, parents, and bros hanging out. Good melting pot! Overall I think this place had great food, cheap prices, manageable crowds, and I could go back easily to try more items. Stay tuned, I need to go get a Tsoynami. Cheers, Messy Papers. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Phoenix hands down! Everything is amazing and I can bring my non-vegan friends and they leave satisfied! Get the red diablo, it's perfection! Also the peanut butter chocolate bars by the register are AMAZING after a few minutes in the freezer!!! Yum yum gimme me some! read more

The menu changed during 2013, and I preferred the previous menu to the new. The new mock chicken is still the best around, but it's not as good as the previous. The food here is awesome! Vegetarian or not, everyone loves this place. The food is creative, delicious and made from fresh ingredients. The mock meats are so good and so well prepared that you will forget it's mock. I LOVE the wings, especially the new jalapeño flavor and the "original g" or "wendy's pickle" are great choices, but so is everything else on the menu. A tsoynami for dessert is a must, they have a long list of options, check them out, you will be in love. You go up to the cashiers and grab a menu, take a seat and decide on your meal, then return the cashier to place your order. They will give you a number and bring out your meal, but there is no waiter service. The ambiance is trendy, and laid back, very casual and welcoming. read more

Finding healthier alternative solutions to my burger cravings is not always easy in the valley. I tried a lot of vegan burgers around, but this one takes the cake! Try the Big WAC! And there are plenty of other dishes to try here. read more
