    grilled steak
    Tam N.

    I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed it. I typically get a Grilled Steak plate, which comes with two choices of sides and a garlic bread. It's always good, nothing special and you could probably make it at home but it's a solid meal. It's definitely quite expensive for the amount of food you get. There's lots of seating inside and they have an outdoor area as well. You order at a counter and they'll bring you your food. Typically service is fast and employees have always been kind and approachable. You have to find street parking somewhere which can be difficult, as expected. Would come again for a quick and convenient meal.

    Happier Vegan, the Greens

    I received a giftcard for Tender Greens, so I ordered ahead for pickup on two different occasions. The first time, I also asked about a limited edition deal for a free housemade drink, so I was able to try the Greens as part of that. Happier Vegan bowl: 3/5 The red sauce was spicy, and the falafel patties are plain on their own and could've used some seasoning. I wish they put more falafel but I liked the farro and hummus I thought it was just okay overall, it didn't feel like to me like I got a lot for the price. It's listed as containing baked falafel, farro salad, hummus, pasta pearls, heirloom cherry tomatoes, baby lettuces, harissa sauce, sherry vinaigrette. The Greens: 3/5 It definitely tasted like health food, i.e. leafy green vegetables. Would have been nice if they could have tweaked it in some way to make it tastier while still being nutritious. Longevity bowl with maitake mushroom: 5/5 I'm not a fan of arugula, but I was pleasantly surprised that while there was indeed a decent amount of arugula, it didn't taste bad, and although I was skeptical when first seeing the cauliflower because it was charred black on one side and mostly still green on the other, it actually tasted yummy and crunchy without being unpleasantly bitter. I also really like the lentils, and I particularly loved the mushrooms which are firm, juicy and savory. The dressing paired well with it too. Olive oil cake: 3/5 It was alright, sweeter than I expected. Kind of reminds me of a donut. I was really hoping it would be more savory and heavy on the olive flavor.

    The smaller cookie is maybe 60-65% the size of the larger cookie.

    Tender Greens in Berkeley serves tasty food and has friendly staff. I don't love the part of town it's in, but they have a nice space. What I don't like about Tender Green is their less than honest/accurate advertising. I recently bought a six-pack of cookies - under "family meals" on the menu. I ordered through the app and was expecting two cookie varieties: the chocolate chunk and salted caramel cookies that can also be purchased individually. I would have been pleasantly surprised if there had been a third flavor during the holiday season. Instead, all six cookies were chocolate chunk. Even stranger was that the cookie sizes were completely inconsistent. I took photos to highlight the distinction. During a visit earlier in the year, I ordered a special seasonal dish: the Japanese Chicken Curry. While it was certainly tasty, I was disappointed that the advertised photos featured a healthy amount of chicken -- large chunks throughout -- while the actual dish contained very little chicken -- just a few small bites. I was expecting a hearty dish with plenty of protein, but that was not what was served. Between the chicken and the cookies, I have felt misled and no longer trust Tender Greens. I won't run back there.

    Food was piping hot, online ordering was attentive (requested specific directions: medium rare), & Sara was especially helpful when I contacted Tender Greens. My lunch was delivered on time by DoorDash. Yummy!!

    Vegan bowl
    Shannon S.

    Everything tasted super fresh and delicious! I got the Happier Vegan bowl. My only thing is I wish there was more falafel or something to dip into the hummus or sauces as i had a lot of hummus and sauce leftover after eating the bowl. I ended up dipping some pretzels I had into the hummus to finish it. If anything it felt like a light lunch to me as I was still hungry after, idk how the non-vegan bowls are but the flavors are on point, customer service was friendly and the entire place was very clean and modern looking. Delicious but just not very filling in my opinion! It also did take around 12 minutes for my order to be ready to go so if you're trying to be in and out it may take a bit!

    Love this place! We got salads, and they were so fresh, had premium ingredients, and a higher quality gourmet salad. The Cobb had delicious salt & pepper chicken, it's well seasoned and slightly crispy. They give ripe avocados, eggs, bacon, and tomato. The restaurant is sparkling clean, professional staff and comfortable seating area.

    Wth is this charcoal I just got in my grilled steak plate? This is not even edible, I wish I was exaggerating.

    They recently closed down the Tender Greens near my city, so I was happy to have lunch at this location in Berkeley while visiting family in the area. Metered street parking is limited, but the restaurant is large and spacious both inside and in their outdoor patio out back. Service was sufficient, with more workers than guests at the restaurant around noon time on a Tuesday, so hardly a wait for anything. The grilled salmon plate with romaine hearts and roasted potatoes lived up to the standards of other locations I've been to... tasty quality ingredients to fill my hunger. Everything was satisfying in both of our dishes, and the hibiscus tea was just right, fruity but not too sweet.

    Wow so many negative reviews. All I can say is show me a place with an excellent seating plan, friendly service, and delicious healthy food and I will be sold. So happy they are back open :) Wins Dairy free tomato soup. Rich and flavorful. Not too acidic. Sweet fresh tomato goodness. Fried chicken. Yum. Crisp and flavorful. Vegetable sides - a nice mix of gourds and veggies grilled with flavor. Not over cooked. Win wins The grilled salmon is so juicy and tender. What did they do? Delicious Seating - lovely outdoor space and modern cafeteria style seating indoors. Great staff. Super friendly. Wish list Would love a plate option where you could choose 2 meats. I always get fomo for the fried chicken and steak. Will pay!

    I ordered the same meal twice and I will say the quality and presentation is better when they are not busy. For this place I would prefer to eat in house rather than to go because the dim lighting and outdoor patio does not make it seem like a fast casual restaurant.

    Didn't realize they have a dime-in option as I've only ever had Tender Greens via delivery or catered lunch at work. Yelp pictures revealed that they indeed have quite a lot of room for seating. My in-person experience did not disappoint. In fact, I was quite surprised that they have an outside courtyard which is completely unbeknownst to folks from the outside looking in. Parking, however, is a different story. You may need to drive around the block once or twice, unless your local and within walking distance. Some operational feedback that impacted my experience is as follows. One, upon entering the natural opening to the line, looks like an entrance, but it's actually the exit. I didn't realize that until I was too late and already halfway down the walk of shame, and had to scoot by people already in line . Two, in case you were looking for somewhere on the menu in big bold letters to let you know that you can get sandwich and a soup, don't be like me and miss the fine print. That option does exist, but it's kind of printed in a smaller print than I would have appreciated before I made my order. I came on a cold day so a sandwich and soup would've been just perfect. Also, the key on the menu indicated that red dots meant raw and that left me a little confused because the red dot appeared next to items that clearly we're not served raw such as fried chicken or grilled salmon. Anyway, the food itself is decent. The bread and delightful! My partner's go to is the Chinese chicken salad, which never disappoints. I opted to try a bowl, specifically the Pacific bowl with grilled salmon. It was a nice alternative but friendly reminder to a poke bowl for the colder season. I decided to treat myself with a cookie for dessert. I don't think that I've ever seen such big chips on a chocolate chip cookie! Overall a great place for lunch, if in the area, or for delivery. Don't think I'll ever drive out of my way to dine in again though.

It is very clear that something is wrong with Everytable's systems. Furthermore, it seems very obvious to me that the support responses I receive are AI generated. While I receive refunds, there is clearly no human element understanding how to escalate issues or actually solve problems. Well this is the future of AI services, folks. Lower prices by eliminating human employees, then provide garbage services that don't work and fake support that does the absolute bare minimum of refunding charges after complete failures. There is no one behind the curtain to understand when an issue has reached the point of unreasonable failure; they don't care about ruining their reputation with customers for a lifetime because there is no one there to care. I will never trust Everytable or use its online services again in the future. Cancelling my subscription and forever filing this company in the "trash" folder

Though the exterior of…read morethe restaraunt is unassuming, and the building itself is quite small with limited seating, the interior is still very clean and neat, and the workers are very nice. I placed an online order for the C Chicken Momos and the Garlic Cheese Naan, which were both phenomenal. The naan was some of the best I've ever had. It was so fluffy, thick, and pillowy soft, and was not overly charred/thin or too crispy like other naan. Just pure doughy goodness. There was also a perfect amount of cheese filling--enough that you got the subtle kick of milky acidity, but not too overpowering. The naan itself was also not too greasy, and the garlic flavor was very aromatic. You could also taste a hint of the slight tartness from (I'm assuming) the yogurt used to make the naan. The "C" Chicken Momos came with eight large pieces, which is definitely enough to fill you up. The sauce tasted like a classic sweet-and-sour sauce with a very mild and pleasant spice. Also, because the dumplings were fried, they were crispy despite being covered in sauce, but still had a bit of the nice chew you would get from a steamed momo skin. The fillings themselves were also super flavorful: you get a herbal and fresh taste from the ginger, which balanced the tanginess of the sauce so the meal did not feel too heavy, and the subtle nuttiness and pepperiness of cumin in each bite. The dumplings also had some warm broth in them, which is perfect for a cold day. The prices are fair too. You can often find small discounts on Snackpass or delivery apps like GrubHub. Needless to say, I will definitely be coming back. Totally recommend!
