    Food is decent but came out cold mostly eg hainan chx Service good Price is on par, post inflation Inside is plain but I'm not here for decor.

    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

    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.

    Beef Soba Noodles. ( ^_^)b

    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

    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.

    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.

    [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.

    Hainan chicken

    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

    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!

    Went here for a quick dinner with my bf and I had the SGV passport to try this place out. There was no wait when we went and was seated immediately. We ordered: Hainan Chicken- 5/5 This was my favorite and I finished the whole plate. Would def get this again. Combo Noodle Lo Mein Style-4/5 didn't understand why lo mein would be an extra $2 since it's dry noodles but none the less, it was a good meal. I like how Greenzone is a more healthier choice because they used organic ingredients. Parking can be difficult during the busy hours since it's located in a popular plaza.

    Beef sukiyaki
    Adam K.

    My first visit to this new location ever since they moved from their old San Gabriel one many years ago! Definitely has the same vibes as that location, but in a much busier location that can get hectic especially during rush periods like dinner when I went. Their focus on health-conscious, organic, and deliciously packed dishes has not changed one bit since then. I got the beef sukiyaki with rice, and what a hearty meal it was! The portion was much bigger than I expected, piled high with plenty of juicy beef slices, scallions, and TONS of fresh veggies and mushrooms in the rich and savory broth. Bite after bite, I could taste the wholeness of the broth that was not laden with MSG at all. I was able to tackle it myself, but it's definitely worth sharing if you're with others. What was refreshing was feeling full, but not a heavy greasy feeling after. Speaks to how this place stands out in quality and freshness from so many other restaurants in the areas! If you're looking for something comforting and different, this would be the place to be to check out!

    Matcha latte
    Victoria S.

    First time visiting! Delicious organic food, lots of healthy options, friendly service with indoor seating. You can pay an extra $1.50 for food to be cooked with avocado oil. We LOVED everything we ordered: grilled pork chop rice, stir fried bak choy, chicken curry. It is a little expensive but worth it for organic food. The matcha latte was not worth the price. I asked for less ice but it still had a lot of ice & after the froth came down it was only 3/4 full. But overall a great experience & will definitely return to try more items on the menu.

    Do you have outdoor seating?

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

    Do you use MSG in any of the dishes?

    What kind of cooking oil do you use?

    Hi Julia, thanks for asking! We typically use vegetable oil, but we do offer an option to upgrade to organic avocado oil at a small extra fee. Hope that helps! Hope to see you soon.

    As of 1/21/22 are they still only doing takeout?

    Dine-in is available now from 11am-2:30pm; 4-8pm on Monday to Thursday and 4-9pm Friday to Sunday.

    Are they still doing take out only?

    Yes. You can call to verify. Please last time I visited yes.

    Wondering, still takeout only, or have dine-in?

    Sorry Lily, we are still only doing takeouts.

    Do they accept Apple Pay?

    Yes

    Do they use any delivery service?

    Call to order for pick up. Maybe it'll be ready quicker than delivery could do if you're in the area.

Overall, the food was enjoyable and I would be back for a quick lunch spot that serves solid chicken rice. Half fried/half grilled high on chicken rice, 8.5/10: both the grilled and fried chicken were hot and crispy. The chicken was cooked well and nicely seasoned. I thought the chicken could use a tad bit of salt though. The soup it came with was piping hot and accompanied the rice and chicken well. The rice itself could have used a bit more seasoning and chicken fat in my opinion. The sauce it came with were great especially the ginger sauce that added the fresh complexity that the dish desperately needed. Adding onto that, I think I could use some vegetables on the side. The tamarind and sweet chili sauce were great. I could also use some chilli. The perfect generous portion of food.

I can eat their ginger sauce with rice. That's how much I like the ginger sauce. So now I just switch out all the sauces they give me for extra ginger sauce.

For what's supposed to be a hearty noodle soup, it felt like a bowl of afterthoughts. I hate writing reviews like this because I genuinely used to love this place.
