Welcome to our kitchen!
Two chefs and a foodie set out to change the way people eat for the better. Our inspiration? The meals we had when our friends came over. The food. The pairings. The exploration. The energy. And the promise that on any given day we’d eat or drink something we wouldn’t find anywhere else. So we opened Tender Greens in 2006 and started a food revolution.
We start with the best ingredients, cook from the heart and let our food do the talking. No compromises, no matter what. Sustainability is at the core of all the choices we make, from our food to our planet to the future of farming. It’s in our DNA. After all, we’re chefs.

This review is based off an Uber eats experience and even with a delivery the food was excellent.

Elevated, fresh and healthy fast casual option worth the occasional splurge. Very spacious and inviting. Tried their agua fresca drink (refreshing ginger flavor, not too sweet) as well as their pacific bowl with salmon. Spicy mayo dressing paired well with the ingredients and the salmon was cooked perfectly. Generous portions too. Good choice for grab and go in the area.

Love Twnder Greens! The menu items are quite diverse, and to my liking, the ingredients are very high quality and super fresh. I love the cob salad! Also enjoy the beverage selection. The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is casual. We also like the location. There is sometimes free street parking or you can pay to park in the building behind. Love it!

Was heading home from a meeting and craved a good salad. Have had good experiences at other Tender Greens locations so stopped at this one. The good: the flavors of both the soup and the salad I got were pretty good. The not good: the place didn’t feel clean. Floors are dirty, bathroom is dingy. Service took forever, about half an hour to get a salad and a cup of soup. When it finally did come out, the tuna looked very weird. Wasn’t fully cooked like albacore, wasn’t seared like traditional tuna. Sort of a glistening white and mushy in the middle. Not even sure it was tuna.

Horrible service from staff who seemed to not care at all. Half the menu was out of stock. Charged extra because they had to modify order because they didn’t have things. Ahi tuna smelled like death and looked like jello. Overpriced. $120 for 4 people. Small portions which was fine because food was stale. Silverware buckets had mold. Every table was sticky. Desserts were served cold and they wouldn’t warm them up. I try to never leave a bad review but every step of the experience was a disaster and they didn’t seem to care.

I went ahead and gave this place 2 stars, number one they do not take cash and I don’t recall seeing any post advising that, also their portions are ridiculously small the Santa Monica location is definitely worth the drive their portions are perfect! Lastly, the wine cup I was served was dirty and to be honest not fulfilling, I would definitely recommend the Santa Monica location over Pasadena.

I passed by and decided to try their plates. It ordered tuna plate and my friend ordered salmon plate. I tried both. Tuna was upscale, salmon also was great. There was one but … too much vinegar.

Just go to Sweet Green instead. Better service and food. We ordered our food to go and we kept waiting meanwhile everyone kept getting their food even though we were first in line. We had to remind them twice. Once we had our food no napkins, utensils, or the extra sauce we ordered. Also the bathroom had no toilet paper and paper towels.
