THE GREEN TEMPLE REVIEWS

Delicious vegetarian and vegan food! A Beach Cities/South Bay gem. The whole menu is beautiful and well thought out. A cozy spot to sit for breakfast or lunch with indoor and outdoor seating, a block away from the beach. A great place to meet with friends, family, or a date (solo or coupled!). Lots of street parking available. Everyone is kind and helpful. A must try spot if you’re into healthy and yummy food.

Everything about this place has been amazing. The food and atmosphere are outstanding. I highly recommend grabbing their macadamia cashew chocolate tart while here.

One of my favorite places to get vegan food!! The savory tofu sauce is amazing. Garden quesadilla is another fave. Isaiah gives friendly and quick service. Go check them out.

HAPPY VEGGIE REVIEWS

This is the best vegan restaurant in the South Bay or Beach Cities area. Their menu is great and I recommend trying all dishes. My favorite is of course Pho soup but I also love Clay Pot with Fish and drumsticks. I'd highly recommend their salads too. Amazing newly renovated interior is very inviting and lovely.

Bomb food! Healthy, flavorful and such a great selection! The server was handling everything alone but she was so kind and lovely. We loved everything we ordered and will go back for more. Very affordable and great portions. Easy parking and cute decor! My new fav Vietnamese spot in south bay.

An Amazing place, I love it. Highly recommend for everyone who wants to eat healthy and enjoy the food. Thank you.

LIL' VEGERIE REVIEWS

Easily the best vegan restaurant I’ve been to in the country. Price point was fair for the quantity of food given. Food had good texture and flavor. The service was great; the employees were attentive to our needs and responded to every ask with a cheerful attitude. All seating was outside, which was lovely in this weather, but could be less pleasant should it become hotter.

The staff were so kind and had quick service! Their jackfruit was sooo delicious I definitely recommend! Also their portions were really great for the price.

Food is so good!!!, and Jason is so kind and welcoming!! Highly recommend.
