      Been to Green Temple multiple times now, but we always stick to what we love: the quesadillas! Love all three of them - garden quesadilla (veggies, avocado, cheese), veggie quesadilla (FULL of fresh veggies like carrots, broccoli, cabbage etc) and the yummy cornadilla. You can get it with regular cheese or substitute vegan cheese (which is tasty and flavorful). They come with a side of guac and salsa. We've tried the nachos and didn't enjoy it as much as the quesadillas.

      Ambience is pleasant and inviting. Service is always excellent too. We've enjoyed dining inside. Online ordering is a breeze, as is ordering on the phone. Somehow you feel like this establishment actually cares about what they feed you.

      It's 5 mins away from Redondo Beach - so it's a perfect meal to pick up and have at the beach! Thanks for your amazing service to the community -- your restaurant is truly a vegetarian & vegan temple!

      My go to is the Make your own Bowl - Veggie burger, broccoli & black beans with tofu sauce on the side. This time I got the pistachio pie since it was PI day & it is a nice treat.
      Love that all of this is gluten free, dairy free & sugar free! Thank you Green Temple for making this all with love

      Went for lunch and had the 1/2 soup, 1/2 sandwich and their fluorescent blue tea. Everything was delicious and service was excellent.
      Highly recommend the Three Bean soup! It's a special soup that I hope makes it into their weekly rotation. Avocado sandwich was tasty, as was the Blue Plate Special. The Blue tea was the coolest drink. Taste was Meh, but the wow factor was impressive.

      I am not a vegetarian but I absolutely love this place. I got the special when I went which was the spinach mushroom enchiladas ($20). It was so good and I didn't miss meat at all! I also love the vibe of this place. It's very chill outdoor place that's perfect for warm summer days!

      I mean this place is great for so many reasons! If you're a vegan and enjoy a peaceful and relaxing environment, then this place is for you! The bread is to die for! It is baked on site so it definitely tastes better than usual bread lol Amd the service always is great! When I asked for recommendations, the server was quick to point out their favorites and popular options.

      Had an all vegan feast today at the green temple. Amazing food, service and atmosphere. The bread that came with the soup is insanely good.

      Been coming to Green Temple for over 10 years. I still am in love with their white lasagna. The tofu sauce is everything. Veggies are always very fresh and I recently tried the Blue plate (homemade veggie burger with sautéed mushrooms in their "gravy" sauce. So delicious! Service is always friendly and the outdoor courtyard space is very relaxing. High recommend checking out this restaurant!

      I had lunch here the other day when a vegetarian friend was in town. We got the Green Temple bowl with brown rice, greens, avocado, pinto beans and tofu and it was delicious! So happy to have found this place. The tofu sauce was truly amazing.

      this restaurant definitely have a specific vibe, so if you share it, the restaurant would be great for you. Not for everyone, though. The food was good, but may not be impressive to less aligned eaters. The service was good and the waitress was very friendly. I really liked the grapefruit juice.

      My family and I had the worst dining experience ever at Green Temple in Redondo Beach. The food was terrible, the service was atrocious, and the manager was rude and unprofessional.
      We ordered several dishes from their menu, hoping to enjoy some healthy and tasty vegetarian food. But we were sorely disappointed by the quality and flavor of the food. Everything was dry, bland, and overcooked. The tofu was rubbery, the rice was mushy, and the vegetables were wilted. The sauces were watery and tasteless. We could barely finish our plates, and we felt sick afterwards.
      The service was even worse than the food. Our waitress was slow, forgetful, and unfriendly. They took forever to bring our drinks, appetizers, and main courses. Orders were mixed up, they forgot to bring some items, and never checked on us. Worst of all they added additional items to our check! So be warned. Make sure they don't overcharge you for items you never even ordered.
      When we asked to speak to the manager, we hoped to get some explanation or compensation for our terrible experience. But the manager was even more rude and unapologetic than the waiter. They refused to acknowledge any problems with the food or the service and went so far as to blame us for being too picky and demanding. They said that we should be grateful for eating at his restaurant, and that we had no right to complain. We were shocked and outraged by the behavior. This was the worst restaurant we have ever been to, and we do not recommend it to anyone. Save your money and your time, and avoid this place at all costs.
