    Came here for the first time and learned about this place on the SGV passport! Food: It's pretty good! I ordered the pork chops and my friend ordered the hainan chicken rice. Both were very flavorful and delicious. The pork chops were very tender. The sauces for the chicken were well made. Drinks: They have free tea in the front for their guests to drink! Service: The waiters were nice and attentive. They didn't hover over us while we were eating and brought everything on a timely basis. Parking: Free parking lot outside!! Just very packed though. Overall: I would come back! The meats were very tender. The salad was refreshing in the side. The rice was a little overcooked, but it was still good.

    Hainan chicken rice, beef Suzuki

    In general, a pretty decent experience -- well kept moderately clean interior a bit cramped, service is a bit inattentive. Had to ask multiple times for things Parking can be a pain so definitely go underground. Food flavorwise pretty good: the beef Suzuki in a pot very flavorful broth, Hainan chicken rice is pretty moist and good flavor as well, but not the best chicken I've ever had as per other reviews. Portions are just the right size and I get why people think the food feels more on the healthier side- not too much MSG or anything like that. Decent prices.

    I've passed by this spot many times and finally decided to give it a try. I ordered a combo noodle soup which was a cross between wonton noodle soup and dumpling noodle soup. The order arrived within 10 minutes. I think this is now my favorite wonton noodle, or wonton and dumpling noodle soup in SGV. The egg noodles were springy and bouncy with a nice eggy taste. The soup was clear and not too salty. The wontons were essentially filled with shrimp and the dumplings were a mix of meat and mushroom. They also included a generous amount of bok choy. All of this for just ~$13. Overall, cheap bowl but very delicious noodle soup. I've been looking for something like this for a long time and I'm glad to have come to this place. Apparently the rice dishes are even better and what they're known for. I'll be coming back to try other stuff on the menu

    We can here to Green Zone a few weeks back to use the SGV passport. The location is in the busy complex with Mikiya, Dive Oyster Bar and Summer Rolls. Parking here can be a pain, but there is an underground lot. Green Zone was pretty poppin' when we arrived on a weekend day. The staff that greeted us was friendly and had us seated in moments. I believe she might have been the owner. The My SGV passport redemption was for a BOGO free on an entree excluding the seafood ones. We decided on the Gyudon and The Beef Soba Noodles. Our waitress was kind the whole time and I believe was newer or in training. Our food didn't take too long to get to our table. My Gyudon was flavorful and delicious. The savory flavors reminded me a Beef Bowl from Yoshinoya but better beef. My wife's Soba noodles had light broth flavor and firm noodle texture. The menu itself is extensive and their entrees are advertised as healthier eating. I enjoyed the food here and would not mind returning to eat here again. :) Thanks, Green Zone! ( ^_^)b

    Appetizer Sampler Platter
    Tiffani C.

    Place is bigger than I thought it would be. They still have most of their plastic partitions up like the ones that were standard during Covid. They had some self serve tea in the lobby which I assume it more for while you're waiting for a table. I'm not going to fault this place cause the food wasn't my cup of tea. I think overall it was good, it's just I've had better. But hey maybe someone likes this flavor style more. We tried the appetizer sampler plate. It was a nice presentation and you got to try the more popular apps. The shrimp roll was lacking in shrimp. The salmon puff was ok but I prefer my salmon raw. The fried shrimp roll was again lacking in shrimp and i couldn't help but compare it to the one at President Thai which has crab and is much more satisfying. The chicken gyoza had egg in it. Not in an extra flavor and it's so good kinda way. More of a filler kinda way. We came for the hainan chicken rice and again I keep wanting to compare it to Savoy or Cluck 2 Go but it just wasn't the same. The chicken was good. The rice was good. It was good portion. After all those apps, I could only eat half. I was missing the soy sauce and the other traditional sauces. The only sauce I liked here was the scallion oil one. So again, the food wasn't bad. It just wasn't for me. The table next to us ordered the clam pasta and it looked delicious so I may come back to try other things.

    Hainan chicken & Satay beef with purple rice
    Monica Y.

    Came to dine at green zone with the recommendation of the SGV FOOD passport while enjoying the BOGO deal using the passport so get to try 2 dishes in 1 sitting yay me The server is nice and friendly and that day they also have free tea tasting set up I picked the classic popular Hainan chicken that comes with a salad and satay beef with purple rice (add-on price for changing from white rice). The food was served super quick! Both the chicken and beef are tender and delicious. I prefer the satay chicken a little more probably cuz satay seems to make me wanna eat more rice than the Hainan chicken But overall, great food, great deal, and it's next to Sunmerry & meet fresh so perfect location for dining anytime

    Gyudon-All Natural Beef Topped With Egg
    Jennifer S. M.

    My husband and I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. There were a lot of people already dining here, which was a good sign. We were greeted and sat right away. Green Zone is described to be an organic pan-asian cuisine. They blend Eastern cuisine with Western influences (this description is directly from their website). They have many tasty options. The one I opted for was the Beef Soba. Their soup base was one of the most delicious bases I've ever had. The broth was rich, savory and umami. The soba noodles had the perfect bite, the beef was tender, and the fried egg and nori elevated the dish that much more. My husband ordered the Gyudon, which is a rice dish served with beef and a sunny side up egg. It delivered in flavor, the rice was well-seasoned, the beef was tender, and the sunny side up egg was yolky in the middle. This dish is a good option if you don't want soup. Overall, I would come back. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this. This restaurant is located in a shopping center in Temple City. The parking lot can get busy. There were a few spots open when we arrived, but when we left people were circling a bit.

    Spicy Thail Basil Seafood w/Rice
    Bilin W.

    [Oct 30, 2025] SGV Passport for BOGO Entree The meal is hearty and fresh, but portion size is underwhelming. Foods are on the sweeter side, which is not really to my liking. Tasty Sampler ($11, 4.5/5): Comes in servings of 2, Pawn Tofu Wraps, Salmon Triangles, and Mini Shrimp Roll. Everything tasted great. The skin was cooked perfectly crispy, and it's satisfying bite size. My favorite was the shrimp rolls. I'd definitely order this again. Spicy Thai Basil Chicken w. Rice ($17.5, 4.5/5) & Spicy Thai Basil Seafood w/Rice ($23, 4.5/5): Seasoning is on point, portion size is filling. Beef Suiyaki w/Rice ($23.5, 3.5/5): The sauce was watery and sweet. The portion size can use some work. Scampi Pasta ($23, 4/5): Rich, sweet tomato sauce. Comes with 4 pieces of shrimp. I feel like there can be more sides. Hainan Chicken Rice ($16.5, 3/5): Honestly, the rice is great. But I didn't find myself enjoying the chicken or sauce. The teas were great. I had Rose Melange ($5) & Japanese Genmaicha ($5), both were fragrant.

    Sa Cha Beef with Enoki Mushroom

    I came here because theyre part of the SGV Passport and I wanted to get something off their menu for a rainy day. Im pleased to say that im very happy with their offerings and variety of both their food and drinks. I thought their portion was pretty good. I had a lot to take home even with just 1 entree and a drink. The staff was attentive to my needs, and even though I was just by myself, they still paid as much attention to me as with the larger tables. Although the space is quaint, the crowd comes and goes pretty quickly. The plaza where the space is shared has a lot of stores and although it doesnt look like there is a lot of parking, there is underground parking available - which is where i parked at the time. So dont worry if you couldnt find any, just look for a downward ramp which will reveal more spaces.

    Hainan chicken
    Shirley W.

    Haven't been hear for ages, but this has been the OG place of hainan chicken in the SGV area! I got the hainan chicken as usual, and honestly it's still just like how I remembered. Pretty solid, the chicken is a bit more thicker and juicier than other places I've tried. Their sauces could be better, I believe I enjoyed the sweet soy sauce one more. The scallions were pretty nice to have as well. The red(?) one was a bit lackluster. For the price of it, it's still pretty expensive for what it is, but I do like how the meal feels very clean. My favorite for hainan chicken is Ipoh, and I would still choose Ipoh haha. Although, this is a solid choice if it is more convenient. Service here was good!

    I've passed by this plaza numerous times, but don't really shop or dine here. Recently, a colleague recommended Green Zone and their Hainan Chicken. So, I tried it out. Yum! They did not disappoint. I also enjoyed the soup that came with my order. My date ordered pork chops and he enjoyed it. I tried a bite and it was nicely seasoned. The establishment is clean and customer service is friendly and patient. This place probably fits better for parties of 1-4. The seating area doesn't look like it can accommodate for large parties.

    Hainan Chicken
    Khoi N.

    Located in a busy plaza. The parking garage was pretty full on the weekend. Small and kinda cozy inside. It was easy to get seated, but can be a bit confusing with a lot of people standing around the front waiting for their takeout orders. We ordered the hainan chicken with salad, sweet yam fries, and the wonton noodle soup. All the food tasted fresh and definitely organic. Felt light and healthy. The hainan chicken was soft and not dry. The sauces weren't bad. I enjoy the hainan chicken much more from Savoy Kitchen though. The sauces there are better and salad. The wontons were yummy! However, the flat rice noodles left a bit to be desired. Broth was yummy though. Maybe egg noodles next time might make it more tasty. The sweet potato fries were awesome though. I would come back to try other items on the menu! Service can be a bit slow cause they are so busy! We never got our waters, but it's okay we didn't mind. Friendly staff they just got a million things going on!

    There is no outdoor seating at the Green Zone in Temple City.

If there is a wait for a certain dish, please let your customers know . It is absolutely not on them that your kitchen is backed up. I love my community, but this was the most childish staff I've ever encountered. TLDR; workers yelled at us for simply asking where our food is. Horrible service.
