The food was great! Very fresh and healthy! The juice is made fresh daily with plenty of greens. The service was very good. The customer service was on point! Manager Jason offered for me to taste the different varieties of juices. My menu option was the tender burger from the Jason's suggestion, which was delicious! The Ambiance was nice, new, clean! Great decor! Yellow high chairs. Ceiling lights modern! read more

Since the pandemic, I don't eat out anywhere near as much as I did before it. I've never been to Tender Greens, and since I love a good salad, I figured from their name that they had more than a handful of salads. Not the case. I guess I'm crazy. The workers were friendly and on the ball. There were just too few of them. I asked for a few basic considerations, like for my crumb covered table to be wiped down and a glass of water without ice. That never happened. My sandwich was tasty, but didn't have any sides, not even a pickle spear. And when I went to get coffee after finishing my meal -- they don't even sell coffee there! The main reason I will never purchase there again is because they don't take cash payments. I don't patronize establishments that don't take cash. Sadly, Tender Greens has that "corporate food" air. It's hard to define, but you know it when you feel it. Places like Five Guys and Smashburger -- always the same chain restaurants set up near office buildings, and there's always something missing. Like soul. read more

Came in quickly a few months ago before picking my mom up from the airport. I had some sort of harvest chicken salad. It surprised me because it was a bit of a warm salad; not just the chicken was warm, there was also grilled squash and zucchini. It also contained goat cheese. The vinaigrette served with the salad was light but delicious. The salads come with a piece of bread, which I appreciated. The girl at the front was helpful at recommending something to me. Although it was later in the evening, past typical dinner hours, there were quite a few people in there. Still, service was pretty quick. I say it's a nice place if you want to eat a bit lighter and get your veggies in. read more

I ordered the "fried chicken" plate With vegetables and french fries. The chicken was quite dry and everything was heavily "seasoned" with pepper! Black pepper. It made my throat burn with so much pepper. I guess its a "healthy" version of fried chicken but it was also not tasty. The breading they use is rather tough. I will not be returning for this plate. My hubby got a chicken soup. I tasted it, it was rather bland , kind of tasted like a campbells soup from a can. True this may be a healthy version of such dishes but it needs to be tasty too. I was not hapy with the food so we will not be returning here. Its my opinion. Some people may think this is the best food since sliced bread but to each his own. Im not bad mouthing this place - im just giving my review. Dont come for me! read more

I come to Tender Greens almost every day for lunch since I work nearby, and I genuinely enjoy it every time. The food is consistently great, and the customer service is always friendly and welcoming--it's a place I actually look forward to visiting during my workday. That said, there's one ongoing issue that really needs attention: the air conditioning. Even when it's cool outside, if the AC isn't working properly inside, the restaurant feels uncomfortably hot--like an oven. It not only affects customers trying to enjoy their meal, but you can clearly see the employees sweating and struggling while working, which is tough to watch. Everything else about this location is solid, but fixing the air conditioning should be a priority. It would make a huge difference for both customers and the hardworking staff. read more

I came here at noon on a Friday and it was practically empty. That should have been my first red flag. I normally love Tender Greens but this location was terrible. I ordered a fried chicken plate with mashed potatoes and a salad and a mint lemonade. It took forever for my food to come out despite no one else being there. The lemonade tasted like cleaning chemicals. The chicken was barely fried and it was SOUR. The mashed potatoes were cold. The garlic bread was cold and soggy. I ended up barely eating any of it and then left. Horrible food. read more

Had an amazing experience with jason at tender greens! great service, fast! and he was so nice! i will be back because of him.

I'm so glad to have the opportunity to update my review from 2018. The negatives I mentioned then have been completely reversed!! First off, I still love the food, have been here several times over the past few months and if anything, the food is even better. Customer service is 6-Stars and I especially want to call out Jasmine who is the sweetest person while taking your order right on thru checking on your meal. Her infectious smile and positive attitude are the kind of thing that can brighten your day, make you smile and uplifts the dining experience. The restaurant, including the restroom, is spotless and has plenty of seating. The shared parking lot is medium sized and can get busy but there is a parking structure next door. The food always comes out hot, fresh and quick, something that can be key during a busy lunch hour. Bottom line: Consistently great food & customer service! read more

My first time at this Tender Greens! It was busy on a Tuesday during lunch since there are a lot of business nearby. We had also come during our lunch break, but were able to get a table for 2 in their outside area. I got the salmon salad and my fiancé the fried chicken plate with veggies and mashed potatoes. I loved my salad. The salmon was good, decent size, and the flavors were on point. It has a ginger dressing and some pickled veggies, yum! The fried chicken plate was also tasty! A bit too heavy for me for lunch but each dish was worth their price. The bread is also a little treat! So yummy! read more

This location is awful. Every time I come here I'm upset that I wasted $25 on cold food. I told them it was cold and they served it back to me.... Cold??? It felt like a joke. So uncomfortable for myself and the workers to have to send food back more than once. read more

Loved the place!! The food, the service and the staff was amazing would recommend coming here. read more

EVERYTIME I come here I am taken care of and the service is amazing. I always get the salmon with baby arugula, it's divine. The ambiance is amazing and the customer service always helps me, check this place out!!! read more

I am so disappointed. I have a friend I was eating lunch with and has dietary restrictions (high cholesterol) so red meat is not a safe option to eat. However, we ordered salmon and a side of baby greens but was given steak and spring mix! She was unable to eat her entree and wasted $18. The facility was so busy and we were not greeted by the staff and it was lunch rush hour, but that still is no excuse for a completely wrong order especially for someone with dietary restrictions. We were rushing to get back to our work place and unfortunately ran into these issues. This is my first 1 star review. read more

I eat here quite often and have tried various dishes, which are overall pretty tasty and healthy compared to regular restaurant meals. I just had dinner and was surprised to see a seasonal plate of Grilled Seabass, which was absolutely delicious! My goodness! The seabass was cooked perfectly and fresh, the panzanella was lemony goodness, the olive oil labneh accompanied the plate surprisingly well and the (roasted I think) mushrooms, fingerling potatoes and turnips rounded out the dish nicely. The grilled seasbass plate is the best menu item I have eaten at Tender Greens by far! I sincerely hope it becomes a permanent fixture on the menu. I had to ask the manager how long the plate was expected to be on the menu, so I could come back several times before it (hopefully never) disappears. I feel sad just thinking about it. I almost always order the mint lemonade, which is very good and not very sweet, which I appreciate, but the hibiscus tea is also good. The manager Jason, is a gem. So friendly, attentive, helpful to answer questions and address concerns. He always provides excellent customer service and with a smile on his face the entire time! If only all employees were this great, what a difference our dining experiences would be elsewhere. The man deserves a raise. Seriously. The restaurant has spacious seating inside with great lighting so you can see your dinner companions (and food) and it has a nice outdoor patio for those sunny CA days. Overall a great option for those looking for healthier fare that is still tasty. Come here and absolutely try that Grilled Seabass! And say hi to Jason, he will give you the scoop on what to order, aside of course, from that Seabass. read more

I don't know why I keep coming back here. Possibly because I think the food or service is going to improve? I placed my in-app order at 12:34pm, with a pickup time of 12:58pm thinking that would give me enough time to pick up my food and race back to the office for a conference call. No such luck. I asked 3 servers to check on my order during my 10 minute wait (10 minutes past the promised 12:58 pickup time) then one of them finally discovered my Thai steak bowl sitting on the end of the counter. Food was being bagged and shoved down the counter without names being called. Of course it was cold by the time I received my order, and too late to do anything about it. I also ordered "paper supplies". The fork & knife were in the bag with NO napkins. Tender Greens -- if you are short staffed, maybe it is time to bring back the self service shelves so busy office people can grab their own take away orders and get back to work? read more

Tender Greens - My $20 (w/tax & tip) Thai steak bowl? - New American Near Me - El Segundo, California

Not so tender meats. Black, completely dry and hats as a rock. In the past, they've always been spot on with cooking the meat just right but my last takeout order was just inedible. It should not have left the kitchen. It's like they forgot the chicken on the grill until it was a burnt crisp and then served it instead of throwing it out. The meat was missing the skin. Maybe that's why it burnt so bad? I also ordered double meat for my order. That didn't happen. Anyway, new chef? Well, chef is debatable. As withy last review, quality is getting worse and worse. Whoever is the owner is needs to come in on the weekends to see how horrible it is. read more

Tender Greens - It's literally black. It looks like shou sugi ban. - New American Near Me - El Segundo, California

Most of Tender Greens locations are alike. Some are better than others. I particularly like the way the dishes are prepared at the Marina Del Rey location for example. One of their senior chefs it's just amazing. I can't say the same about this El Segundo branch unfortunately but it's decent. Definitely good food. One of the top reasons to visit this location is their patio though. Especially with dogs, this is the place to be. Culver City, for example and most other West LA Tender green location patios are almost non-existent or placed on sidewalks. Marina del Rey is super nice but quite dirty and being on the second floor , it's almost always windy. Tasty food, comfortable setting, good looking patio, a ton of heaters outside. What else do you need to enjoy a nice meal outside? Anyway, I am a fan! read more

Tender Greens - Salmon with two salads - New American Near Me - El Segundo, California

My coworkers and I stopped by Tender Greens for a lunch after a work meeting in our office down the street. While I've been to Tender Greens before but this was my first visit to this location. I don't eat at Tender Green often but I generally have a feeling for what they serve, or so I thought. At the other Tender Greens I've been to, you are actually able to see food being prepared behind glass panels while ordering. At this location, you couldn't see much as it seems the main kitchen was around the corner or behind a wall. I'm not sure if this is more normal now but it wasn't what I was expecting to see... but regardless I order my food expecting it to taste as good as other locations I've been to. Coincidentally, all 3 of us each ordered salads and different salads. I got the Tuna Nicoise and my coworkers got the Harvest Chicken and the Grilled Chicken Cobb. The tuna on my salad was horribly foreign-looking to me. While the outside was cooked, it had a plastic like texture while the inside had a chewy texture that felt wrong. Normally I expect raw fish to be somewhat soft and forgiving but not chewy. The rest of the salad was ok though some bits of potato also tasted undercooked/crunchy. My coworker with the Harvest Chicken said his food tasted ok but the one with the Cobb had huge chunks of rock hard meat (which we assumed was bacon) one could chip a tooth on. Overall, none of us were blown away by flavors and/or freshness--which were things I had associated with Tender Greens until this visit. Service wise, the staff was friendly although also kind of pushy. When we arrived, it was a bit before the lunch rush and there was no one behind us at the time; however the staff seemed annoyed we didn't immediately and quickly place our orders (even though we asked for a minute to browse the menu). While I prefer to sit inside, my coworkers insisted we sit outside. The patio is actually very nice except its pergola-like covering did little to block the blinding sun. Last, as we walked over from our office for lunch, we were able to avoid parking which, in this plaza, may be extremely hit or miss and can be very chaotic at times. I sometimes will pick different restaurants just to avoid parking in this plaza. So in terms of service and settings, it's a nice location but the food quality was just so-so and I expect more from Tender Greens. read more

Jason makes me coming back with great service! outstanding rep for your company!!!! I advise all my co workers to come ! The food is great of course and employees always polite read more

The food was all very good. The service was convenient. And the ambience was more modern and open than we had otherwise anticipated.

Hey decided to give this location a go again,had the Holiday steak this time around. It was served to perfection.juicy tasteful,just like i like it.i was served fast.Isabelle was so kind,made me feel at home.She recommended other items that i am looking forward to trying.!Also on a side note the restroom was not how I expected,it's was fresh,hygienic. read more

I often get the salmon plate because it is flavorful and well prepared at a reasonable price for salmon. I placed my order online and it was ready faster than initially stated. Great service and food! read more

I ordered delivery and maybe it was my fault for not adding it in the app, but there were no utensils included in the bag! Oh well not a big deal, but still a little annoying because I had to hunt down replacement utensils. I ordered the chicken which came with sushi rice and pickled vegetables on top of some sort of salad. The sauce for the chicken was smokey, a little spicy and really good. I also got a cup of the chicken soup. I have to say, I was impressed that the food travelled so well and was still hot and tasty. I've always seen Tender Greens and never thought to get food from over there because it just didn't seem to look that good. I'd definitely order again, or pick based on this meal though. read more

Love this place. It's so convenient. I come here every weekend after my workout at the nearby gym. It has a lot of options including yummy salads. My favorites are the Grilled Salmon Salad and the Tuna Niçoise. Everything is fresh. They have a fancy menu without the fancy prices. And the staff is helpful and friendly. Keep it up. read more

This place use to be bad-it went downhill but recently (idk if different ownership change or what) the food has been so much better! I am glad I gave it a shot again. It seems to have the flavors and the quality again. The pesto chicken sandwich is really good. read more

Stay away Not only did they take forever with my order ( to the point where my other three friends were already done eating their meals) but the fried chicken was freeze dried and the falafel was so hard that my friend couldn't even get her fork into it. The shrimp tasted like it was in the freezer and not fresh at all. All four of use were scared that we were gonna go home with food poising. So badddddd read more

Jason and crew are the best. Excellent service and care. Food is delicious and healthy.

the serves was amazing. I usually come year everday after my workout and I always get their steak. Overall the food is great, and the serves is phenomenal. read more

Honestly, so, so good. I've been here now three times and every time it does not disappoint. I work about five minutes away and to be able to get lunch, at a HUGE rush hour for them, and they get my food out hot, fast, and delicious. There's nothing better. You guys are the BEST! read more

I placed a to go order a few months ago and when I got home, I realized that tender greens forgot to give me my soup that I ordered. I had to drive back to get my soup. I picked up another to go order today and when I got home, the bread was missing from my order! Tender greens should double check each order before giving it to customers! The place wasn't even that crowded for them to forget items. read more

Very friendly, good drinks, not busy. Tables could be a little cleaner for how slow it was but that's just me.

As many of the other reviews have stated, this location has severely declined. Aside from the constant menu changes this location is incapable of serving a hot meal or cooking protein properly. Might be hard to tell in the photo but this chicken is drier than grandma's thanksgiving turkey. Inedible. Our family won't be coming back, which is sad. Was a fun weekend tradition read more

Visited Tender Greens for the first time after 5 or 6 years. It was my first visit to this location. Previously have been to the one in Irvine. I ordered the Steak plate with side of brown rice and caesar salad. My colleague got the steak with the side of baby greens and baby spinach. The Steak plate is around $16 which is of course a good value these days. The server recommended medium rare, which is also how I usually order my meats. I was very disappointed as the steak was a bit tough and chewy and my colleague who had ordered it the same way was complaning as well. The side of the brown rice had a nice kick to it and I really enjoyed it. the plate is also accompanied by a pieace of garlic toast which was enjoyable. Will likely still visit this place as the food seems wholesome and the service is fast, however will stick to chicken or fish next time. read more
