Fresh, Massive Bowls Right Across from FIU…read more If you are looking for a solid spot near Florida International University that moves beyond the standard fast-casual chain, The Green Chicken is a great find. It's located right across the road from campus, making it an easy win for students or anyone in Sweetwater looking for a reliable, healthy-ish meal. The interior is pretty standard--a nondescript, counter-service setup designed for efficiency. However, the outdoor seating area is where this place really shines. It is well-shaded and shielded from the Florida sun, creating an inviting space whether you're meeting up with friends or need a spot to pop open the laptop and get some work done. The menu is surprisingly expansive, but the best way to describe the experience, at least for what I ordered, is an elevated Chipotle bowl. I went with the Jerk Chicken bowl over black beans (no rice). The Chicken had a nice, clean flavor. It wasn't seasoned to the extreme, so if you're looking for a massive spice kick, you might want to ask for extra sauce, but the quality of the meat was clear. The black beans were cooked perfectly, and all the veggie add-ins were crisp and fresh. The staff here is incredibly friendly and they clearly pride themselves on the "heavy hand"--the portions are huge. You definitely won't leave hungry. It's a great local alternative when you want something fresh, fast, and substantial.

I had to pat the salad with paper towels several times as shown in the pictures. I did not enjoy it and it was disgusting to be honest.

Don't waste your time and money here.

Definitely something I'd order again. The beef Pad See Ew was phenomenal--so flavorful and probably one of my favorite dishes I've tried here so far. The Thai-style pork ribs were decent, although they weren't my favorite. But the Tom Yum shrimp? Absolutely delicious. Honestly, probably the best Tom Yum I've had in Miami, and I've tried quite a few! The service has been excellent every time I've gone, and the restaurant itself is super cute. I love all the decorations and the atmosphere. I still haven't tried the sake, but that's next on my list. I've mostly stopped by when I'm working, so next time I'm off and can actually relax, I'll definitely be giving it a try. Three visits in already, and I'll definitely be back for a fourth!
