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.

The food was okay. I feel like the quality of the food was alot better and tastier when Tender Greens first opened up. I ordered the bbq chipotle plate with roasted potatoes, romaine hearts and seasonal vegetables. The roasted potatoes were overly soaked in oil and could have been cooked/fried more. The seasonal vegetables was decent, nothing to really rave about. I liked the Cesar salad but there was a little too much Parmesan cheese for my liking. The bbq chipotle chicken had some flavor. I did wish my food was way hotter than it was. I’m also not a fan of the in kitchen made ketchup. If you like regular ketchup, request for the packets.
I ordered the watermelon drink- very delicious! And not too sweet.
The customer service was great, very friendly and welcoming staff.

We ordered chicken pesto sandwich and tomato mozzarella and it was great, tomato soup needed a little more salt but it was good, I’ve tried their bowl before and they’re great especially the Mediterranean falafel bowl.

This is hands down the worst Tender Greens in LA. I have been to multiple locations and this one does not even feel like the same brand. My order showed up sloppy, sauce containers open and spilled all over the food like no one bothered to close a single lid. Delivery ran 20 minutes late on top of that.
On top of that my side salad was tiny and I was missing a falafel from my three piece falafel.
When I called, the manager Tory told me I had to order through the app to fix it. When I told her I did order through the app she still refused to help. Completely useless.
Tender Greens usually justifies charging 40 dollars a plate, but not here. If something goes wrong their attitude is basically “too bad.” Sloppy food, missing items, late delivery, terrible management. This place SUCKS and I do not recommend it.

Really nice dining option in downtown Culver City. The food is relatively healthy and tastes homemade. They balance the proteins with lots of healthy options including different types of rice, greens, and nuts. I was particularly impressed with the short rib mash. For the price point, I was surprised at the quality of the braised short rib, had a sweet and smoky glaze that paired well with the mashed potatoes.
The green juice is also great and for a great price as well. It’s the kind of place I would consistently go to if I need a break from eating out too much and needing something healthier with a touch of home.

With 15 years of customer service experience, I’m usually the first to praise staff, but this was a major fail.
I waited 35 minutes while the kitchen prioritized to-go orders. There was zero communication about the delay until I asked (after 20 minutes), and the food was “mid.”
In-store customers shouldn’t be secondary to an app. Very disappointing.

The food was decent, the chicken is a little dry but it’s good if you like chicken breast. We were sitting outside and the leaves was falling on our plates lol.. perhaps they should have umbrella on the outside. Also wish the employees will come out and check on the customers too. We have to go inside and refill the drinks.

Great service. Kind staff experience. Very fair prices. You order at the counter but the food is brought to you and staff walk around offering refills on drinks. Gets crowded at lunch time. Extensive menu choices.
Ambiance is casual.
There’s a parking garage around the corner. First hour is free.

Tender Greens is a must have for fast, fresh and quality cuisine. I thought that I reviewed them when I visited LA a few weeks ago but later realized I didnt.
I wish this place was in Detroit. The plate options are a protein, a carb/starch side and a type of salad option. They also have great bowls, salads and sandwiches to choose from. I added their mint lemonade for a tasty drink.
They cook to order and the portion is great! If you are eating in a health conscious way Tender Greens fits the bill. Just simple good food at a great price.
This location has a excellent outdoor space and the staff/service was wonderful. When I go back to Cali I’ll be back at this place for all the deliciousness.

Love the Tuba Niçoise Salad: all elements were fresh and generous. Staff is capable, friendly but not intrusive. The restaurant, inside and out is well maintained and pleasant. Inside, the acoustics is all bouncing and loud, but it was pleasant enough… and too hot to be outside! I’d like to go there once a week til I get tired of the place, which might take years!

I used to order from here all the time but I eventually got tired of getting orders with missing items. This last time I got a chicken sandwich with no chicken. Called the restaurant, manager Veronica apologized and said she issued a refund. Days later and no refund was received so I called again. GM Anabel told me she’d issue a refund and asked me to send an email explaining what happened. She gave me the wrong email so I forwarded it to corporate who only reimbursed me for the incorrect item. They consistently leave something out. I started picking up so I could make sure my order was correct but I never thought I’d have to check my order to make sure the chicken was actually in the sandwich. No more ordering from this location for me
