    kids bolognese
    Jennifer H.

    Didn't want food coma going back to the office so I opted for the kids bolognese. I was impressed by the taste of the bolognese sauce. The portion is filling enough where you don't feel sluggish going back to work after eating. Plus it gives you room to buy dessert. I tried the chocolate chunk cookie. It was delicious.

    Steak plate
    Liliana M.

    I ordered the steak with fries and salad. The steak was a little dry and needed a bit more flavor, but overall it was fine. The fries were nice and the salad was fresh. I would be interested in trying other menu items. The service was friendly, but my order did take a bit longer than my friends. There's plenty of seating and it wasn't crowded at all on a Saturday afternoon. They do have clean bathrooms, just ask for the code.

    grilled steak plate. 10/10

    Recently dined in here with a friend and everything was immaculate. I highly recommend the steak plate with the buttery mashed potatoes and Caesar salad--the dressing is so good! I also ordered extra bread, and the best part is it wasn't burnt this time, which I really appreciated. I love coming here for lunch dates. The service is always top-notch. While the food has been inconsistent in the past, I genuinely enjoy eating here, and I've noticed real improvement. There's always room to grow, and this location is definitely heading in the right direction. Keep up the great work!

    I was kind of mad at this Tender Greens. For some reason a lot of their stuff is spicy without indicating that on the menu! I'd been here before and didn't remember or experience that. This last visit made me kind of ill, because who would expect spicy sauce under a salad? Annoying. Place isn't cheap too.

    Tender Greens is one of my favorite go-to meals in the area. This location is dog-friendly and cozy with a big gated patio. Staff is usually helpful and nice. I got the plate with seared tuna, mashed potatoes and gravy, and seasonal veggies. Bread is nicely toasted and flavorful on its own too. It's a healthy and hearty meal all under 1000 calories. Only complaint is that veggies can prob be roasted a little more. The squash was still kinda raw and hard.

    Spent all this money to miss my salmon
    Shardae Y.

    Extremely disappointed. Would not recommend!!!! Save yourself the headache. This is the second time my husband and I have ordered from Tender Greens Downtown LA via Uber Eats, and both times our dinner was wrong. About a week ago, my mashed potatoes were missing. Tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and try them out again. Today, my salmon was completely missing! ‍ replaced with a random ketchup packet in my plate instead (see image). After a long day at work, this is beyond frustrating. My husband spoke to Tatyana (believe the manager was too busy to speak), and the only solutions offered were: Drive over and pick up the salmon myself (the whole reason I ordered via Uber Eats is because I couldn't pick it up), or "Possibly" refund just the salmon portion. You would think they'd refund the whole plate for the inconvenience and me only having mash potato and veggie for dinner now. To me that's poor customer service and shows how little they care about the mistake that they made. Tried to give them a pass last time, but clearly nothing has improved. The food arrives cold and missing main items. Will not be ordering here again. (Pictures attached for reference.)

    Chipotle chicken salad
    Rizza D.

    Definitely food was good. Place is not packed at around 1:30pm. I've been to different tender greens location including this one in DTLA (which I've been here couple of times ) and never had any issues. But today, I never think I will encounter someone who's rude and no personality at all. I asked and he's one of the restaurant manager at that location named Paul. Amazed me, if he cant be bothered just don't be out and show customers that you don't have personality. This is customer service job Paul need to be a little friendly. Other than that food was good location is okay.

    cup - green pozole

    I ordered the green pozole "bowl" I was given a small cup with mainly liquid and tiny toppings . I placed the order with Uber Eats so I have two pay for a tip delivery and to save myself some money. I order a dessert. This is very disappointing and very costly to only get child portion size for lunch

    Grilled steak, fried potatoes and grilled veggies. Average.
    James L.

    After an event at Pershing Square just steps away, we were hungry. So the Yelp app brought us here since it's the closest and we didn't have to drive and find parking again. We arrived around dinner time. In the weekends when the offices are closed,'this place is nearly empty except for a few that came in for food delivery. We ordered the chicken pesto sandwich. The bread was very rustic with hard edges. The chicken was dry so it was hard to swallow. But after sitting in the to-go container for a few hours, the bread softened up and perhaps the pesto seeped into the chicken so it wasn't as dry as earlier. The steak plate (see my photo) looked like they just threw everything onto the plate. The steak was mostly tough and medium, instead of the medium rare I ordered. We also got a steak with mashed potatoes and pasta salad. (No photo) The steak was also more like medium instead of med. rare. That order was plated much better. Service was OK. Food was OK and filled us up. We were just happy for the location and distance from Pershing Square. Next time, we'll plan ahead better.

    What is this?!?!  How is this $16?
    Rashawn W.

    Disappointing..... How have the prices gone up significantly, but now the quality and quantity have died off. I ordered the salt and pepper chicken plate, dark meat grilled well. I get back to work, to enjoy my lunch.....and to my surprise just a few unseasoned, dried pieces of chicken and no skin.

    Short rib with broccoli special
    Deidre M.

    Our new go-to for healthy delicious eats after the gym! Have ordered online 3x for in advance pickup and has yet to disappoint! I tried the short rib special last night and it was even better than the menu photo! Steak also so bomb. Portions also solid. Tasty and fresh. Feels less guilty to get takeout here vs greasy or fried foods! I do want to take a moment to callout a few minor improvements though - roasted veggie side ratio was majority carrot, no squash, a few mushrooms. Also the online ordering portal doesn't have farro salad as a side option for the plates. Can these two items be addressed? Thanks and see y'all soon!!!

    Ambiance: busy and packed inside during rush hours, there's patio outdoor shaded with other merchants Service: very fast but sort of careless, made wrong order to my drink, though I didn't bother to change later Food & Drink: standard tender greens menu with seasonal food and drink Fish Sandwich - ** bland taste overall, let alone burnt bun and over cooked fish Fried Potatoes - *** soggy and not crispy Seasonal Agua Fresca - *** sweet taste Price: decent portions and reasonable prices, expect about $20 per person for a meal, I used to like tender greens much more but their food quality definitely went downhill

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: It's crowded for a reason…read more A friend and I were in the area and decided to stop here for lunch. I hadn't been here in years (15, in fact, which was when my last review went up), but the line was very familiar. We shared: - Urth Farmer's Salad - Full Tuna sandwich (came with side salad which was quite sizable) Everything was super-fresh and generously portioned. More than enough for two people. If we'd known the sandwich came with a side salad we probably wouldn't have ordered a whole 'nother salad, but the farmers market salad was so good I'm glad we did! I also got an iced latte, which really hit the spot. The friendly and efficient staff expertly handled the crowds, which was sizable. We were hoping for a seat out on the patio since it was a nice day, but seating was limited so we sat at one of the small tables inside by the fireplace. It was just ok, but we had a nice time nonetheless.

The smoked salmon was silky and delicately smoky, with a clean, buttery finish that paired perfectly with the medium poached eggs. The prosciutto was thinly sliced, delicately savory, and melt-in-your-mouth tender -- adding just the right refined saltiness without overpowering the dish. Both plates were beautifully presented and generously portioned. The Rising Sun Latte was smooth and balanced, and the matcha latte was creamy and authentically earthy -- you can really taste the quality. Stylish yet relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and consistently fresh ingredients. A reliable go-to brunch spot in Downtown LA. Will definitely return!
