Tender Greens Menu – Palo Alto, CA

Type : Restaurant

Location : Palo Alto, CA

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.

Modern, cafeteria-style chain serving area-sourced, globally influenced plates, sandwiches & salads. Based on 708 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.2 stars. Price $$

We ordered ubereats here for lunch and I got the pacific salmon bowl. Overall the food was tasty but I found the salad to have too much sauce. Salmon is tender and well seasoned.

We came on saturday afternoon to have lunch. The place has a nice and fresh interior – I loved the combination of light wood and green color -, quite spacious with a high ceiling, tables are also available outside on the street. The place was not crowded.

Ordered the Thai bowl with grilled steak and it was quite delicious! Portion sizes aren’t huge for the price but the flavors are delicious and everything paired perfectly with each other. Tender slices of medium steak, a delicious papaya salad with some leafy veggies and some sticky rice to make it a hearty meal. Super quick service, counter serve, good location and easy to access. Real silverware too is a nice touch!

I always make it a point to visit their Palo Alto branch whenever I’m in the US. Fresh, healthy food – they don’t even serve sodas! It’s a no-brainer when you want to eat healthy! There’s definitely something for everyone! Even my teen – who’s very picky with food and practically doesn’t eat anything…finds something! I love, love their salads!

Food quality has changed. I used to love their fried chicken but this time I got two extremely small pieces of fried chicken that were so thin and dry. The salad dressing also changed. Huge disappointment

This is one of the best food places that I’ve ever been. All healthy choices and on top you get to choose your favorite kind of food to be added into your meal. First you start with the protein, which you have choices to make and then you go to the sides which you have plenty of to add as sides into your meal. Many kinds of vegetables which are baked to perfection and ready to melt in your mouth. Oh I loved their soup too. The kids loved their healthy meal, which is shown in the photo.

I got a steak build-your-own plate and it was delicious! The handmade drinks were refreshing and we had a great experience.

We got the pacific bowls (one with chicken katsu and one with steak) and they were quite yummy. My main complaint is only that I wish I got more food for the price – definitely think this bowl could have benefited from some veggies besides the lettuce/cucumber/carrot mini salad situation. I will say the ginger sauce on the salad was delicious as was the miso spicy Mayo. The chicken katsu was a bit dry and could have been more flavorful but overall pretty solid for a fast casual place!
