The owner seems to not understand state laws regarding service animals. We showed credentials and explained we had a certified service animal, and they still forced us to not only sit outside, but chain up our service animal outside the gate near the street. Don’t recommend anyone with disabilities to go here as you will be harassed.

Disappointed. 13$ plus tax and tip for this "garden" quesadilla. So thin, barely any filling. Very disappointed. I'm sure they can do better... Cali is an Avocado state! I probably had 1/4 of a small avocado throughout the whole full size meal. Just so you know what you are getting. The staff was friendly

They have amazing food but after the way I was treated on the phone it killed the experience. What used to order from here all the time through Covid and even now and the gentleman on the phone was rude and wouldn’t add eggs to my sandwich or even Protein for that matter. He said you can’t add anything to sandwiches you have to get them as they come. Which is so weird because that’s never happened before and I’ve been able to add things and take things out of my sandwiches. I also asked if I could add eggs for protein to the sandwich he told me that they don’t cook eggs in the kitchen but then I let him know that there’s eggs on the menu and he stated that they only cook what they need in the morning and they don’t cook throughout the day. So what does that mean that the foods not being cooked fresh? Anyways I’ve been in the industry for 20 years this is the worst service I’ve ever had at any restaurant would really love to eat the food here but apparently we don’t have options anymore. I didn’t get the guys name working at the front but today is February 5, 2022 and whoever’s working at the front office is very arrogant.

I hadn’t been to Green Temple in a long time and on a warm summer night, I was happy that their zen-like patio is still so cool and inviting. Service is kind and attentive, and their great menu is much the same. The food is delicious as it always has been, with clean flavors and really fresh ingredients. Their veggie burger is one of my favorite plates; I never miss the meat. Their oat bar is only one of my favorite desserts. I highly recommend Green Temple for some of the very best vegetarian plates in town.

The white lasagna is great. Brocvoli steamed perfect, the flavor of lasagna is amazing. All vegan. Been my fave for more than a decade.

As a vegetarian, I was so amped about an exclusively vegetarian restaurant in such a seafood-heavy area! However, the abundance of options did not assuage the lack of flavor in these dishes. Entreés tasted bland and sides were unseasoned. Was sad to see such mighty potential fall victim to the qualm every meat-eater has with vegetarianism: there’s just not as much flavor. Better to look elsewhere when trying to validate that plant-based can be delicious.

An abundance of delicious, fresh, organic, locally sourced, plant based, vegetarian, and vegan offerings prepared and served by a gracious team in a peaceful, serene, and beautifully appointed creative space - it is our favorite eatery near the sea where we bring our family & friends from around the world to love, honor, and nourish body, heart, and mind. A short stroll from the ocean is another bonus - we often pick up an order and picnic on the beach :-)

We could not experience this green temple because they would not allow our small well behaved dog on the outside patio ....since the green temple is vegan...we thought they might love animals....so we ate across the street at the wonderful sacks on their outdoor patio to enjoy a lovely vegan lunch

I think I expected more from this place.. the veggies were cold when the food came and It seemed like my food was microwaved... it was not made to order... reminded me of Starbucks food The tea selection was good...

Finally I found a healthy place in Redondo. We ordered a special lasagne and Shepherds Gold. The food was deliciousness healthy. No much oil and nothing fried. We are more than satisfied and will definitely come back.

Delicious vegan meal, Zen atmosphere, and great service. My next trip to Redondo Beach will include a visit to The Green Temple.

Lovely little restaurant in Redondo Beach. Food was delicious. The staff was very friendly. Everything was so scrumptious and healthy. Will definitely come back. There are a few parking spots located right in front of the restaurant, otherwise street parking is available. There is no indoor seating, however they do have some tables under a tent outdoors with propane heaters. Bathroom is very clean as well.

Excellent vegetarian and vegan food!

My absolute favorite place if your looking for a relaxing lunch/dinner in a beautiful temple. It brings such a positive vibe to any gathering or even a solo meal . I come here at least once a week and the tofu sauce is amazing. Must I add they have the best almond/macadamia nut chocolate cake with all organic ingridience that will melt any chocolate lovers soul!!

You don't have to be a vegetarian to love this place. Food was really good and the staff were great!

I love the Green Temple!

The Green Temple has tasty and great food. When ever I come I eat more than I want to. I want to say that I feel welcome when I come there.

Awesome vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and regular offerings. We had the pita sandwich with tempeh. Super healthy

Food was amazing. We had four different specialty rolls, including the candlestick, which comes out with an open flame! Great presentation, and awesome combination of flavors. We got there early, so had no problem getting a table, but a line started forming pretty quickly after they opened. This place was the best vegan sushi I've ever had. We'll be back for sure.

One of my favorite restaurants. Their savory wrap is the best ❤️ and their raw deserts are to die for.

Very good vegan salads, soups, and sandwiches, friendly service.

Green Temple is one of my new favourite places for Vegetarian/Vegan food! Extremely friendly staff, fantastic service with COVID safe protocols that really set my mind at ease and a gorgeous setting right in the middle of Redondo Beach dining area. I had the Vegan Enchiladas and they were absolutely delicious and the portion size was just perfect. Very fresh, awesome flavours. I will definitely return.

I've been eating at Green Temple for years and it is delicious!! It's vegetarian/vegan friendly and is probably one of the best tasting restaurants in the South Bay!! I'm not veg or vegan but I eat healthy and am allergic to gluten. They have plenty of options that are gf. Love this place!!

Lovely place. Love the decor and the ambience here.. truly makes it the green temple :) all vegetarian menu is a welcome blessing for green souls! One of my favorite zen spots in South Bay 😇

Excellent job Monogram Shop in Riviera Village!

Always good food at the temple. Great soup and entrees and we never feel heavy after eating here. Nice ambiance.

I had the half sandwich and soup combo. Everything was delicious. Service was phenomenal! Can't wait to go back.

Excellent vegetarian menu where everything can be eaten. Lots of fresh veggies with a mix of cooked imitation meats also. Good to come here if your group is vegetarian! The coffee is also very good! Parking can be a bit tricky but there are dedicated spots

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

The ambiance and food was amazing. Their service was excellent too. If you are vegetarian or vegan, you should try this place out.

An oasis. The blue plate special was perfect. Portions were just right leaving room for appetizers of chips and guacamole. So good. The patio felt like a garden with private tables tucked here and there. Just a wonderful experience.

Love love love this place. Any dish you get will be an amazing meal. They are so attentive and want you experience to be as good as it can be. I've been coming here for 20+ years and it has never disappointed. Even if you aren't vegan or vegetarian, you can find something yummy to eat and walk away satisfied, anticipating your next visit!

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.

Delicious, great portions and unique cuisines. Friendly service and the patio has heaters. Super healthy and trendy. Can't wait to go back...

I’ve been eating here since I was 11 years old (20 years) and this place has consistently stayed amazing. Idk why it’s taken me so long to write a well deserved 5 star review. Their food is always very nourishing, fresh, and served with kind service. I always love their soups (I get one of each soup of the day almost every time I go here) they have this tofu sauce too that’s really amazing. The desserts are all delicious, and my favorite entrees are the blue plate, the savory wrap, avocado sandwich, and I like building my own bowl. I’ve never not loved anything I’ve eaten here and I’ve been so grateful to see Green Temple stay open despite the challenging times covid brought. Thank you for nourishing me all these years ❤️❤️

Great outdoor patio dining area. Natural breeze blowing though the patio. My 1st experience at a vegetarian restaurant and I wasn't disappointed at all!! I had the tamales and my lady had the veggie burger. We also had the 1/2 order of nachos, with the lemon fizz drinks!! Must try!!!

I have been trying to mix in more veggie and vegan meals during the week when I go out so always on the lookout for great spots. Really loved the Green Temple! Very cool and unique vibe eating in their outdoor courtyard. Really loved the peaceful, relaxed vibe of the place. I had the breakfast burrito and it was delicious! Will for sure be back to try more dishes.

Amazing food made with love. And the (raw vegan) strawberry pie is off the charts, so delicious. Missed to take a photo if it. Will definitely go back.

One of my favorite vegetarian places to eat. The tofu sauce makes all the food amazing.

Always a favorite restaurant for a healthy vegan or vegetarian meal. I like introducing friends to this spot. The eclectic patio dining is delightful and the wait staff is always friendly. Wish they had unsweetened ice tea. I will continue to be an enthusiastic customer.

Wonderful vegetarian food right by the beach. Beautiful decoration. Try the outdoor patio and their drinks and deserts, you will not be disappointed!

The food here never disappoints, it's one of my favorite healthy lunch spots in the Village.

Love their food, the atmosphere is lovely, when seating was open. If they get online ordering and delivery, I’d probably order every week. It’s unfortunate that after two months of shut down, that’s still not available. Hope it’s up soon!!

Vibe here was kinda interesting but the food wasn't bad :)

Love this place! Vegetarian/ Vegan based restaurant with numerous delicious entrees on their menu. Perfect for someone who wants to eat Clean, Fresh, & Organic.

My fave restaurant in LA

I hadn't been in over 2 years and they took out their wonderful fountain that created a nice serene atmosphere. Also they altered some of their dishes so my friend and l won't be going back. If you have never been there, try it! It's an excellent vegetarian restaurant, just not the same sanctuary it was before.

Location, staff, menu, quality, flavors, tastes are all FIVE STAR

Surprised me ! Took granddaughter for a post Valentine's day dinner. Service great, decor and location made you feel you were at a resort. Food healthy and full of flavor

Definitely my favorite vegetarian restaurant in Redondo Beach.

My go-to vegetarian spot....

What an all-around exceptional experience, start to finish. While visiting my parents from Michigan, we stopped for a bite and will definitely be going back whenever I'm in town (and they'll certainly be returning without me!). Despite receiving only curbside service (current circumstances required as much), I felt valued and considered. Our server, a gentle yet boisterous man from across the pond, provided excellent suggestions, pairings, and even a parting gift for my flight home (which he ran through the rain to provide!). I would be back for the food alone, but the service really sold it!

Order anything with their famous tofu sauce and you’ll fall in love.

Great option for vegan diners. The vibe in The Green Temple stands out from any restaurant in the area. You eat on patio style tables while sitting on comfy cushion (not on the floor) which makes the whole experience feel like I am eating at someones house. The food is great, the nachos and tofu steamers are my favorite while my friend swears by there soup. The service can be frustratingly slow but overall doesn't ruin the experience that The Green Temple provides.

Sundays are not.a good day ... no Walnut bread made.by the restaurant ....

Really awesome vegetarian food. Essentially, the perfect place for lunch in southern California. Even my mom liked it!

Wonderful experience, service, food, ambiance great! Far from my home, so worth the drive! Recommend very highly!

Love this place. I never go wrong making my own bowl. And the tofu sauce is delicious (though I'm not a fan of tofu)

Nice atmosphere! Lovely food with so many options. Vegan friendly.

Yummy vegan options and super friendly staff. Love the decor and mellow atmosphere plus the fact that they seem to be pretty environmentally conscious:)

One of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay. I have been coming here for years and tell everyone I know to at least try it once. The ambiance is eclectic boho Morocco, with small semi private vignettes. Plants, statues and art placed just so. Staff work really hard to get everything just right and the owner is the nicest person I have ever met. There isn't anything on the menu that I haven't tried and I enjoyed everything. My favorites are the savory bowl, white lasagna, and tosoditas.

Always a joy. Love the food and the service!

Always good.

My most favorite place on earth I've been eating there for over 15 years and have tried EVERYTHING, the owners (I wont say their names because today I forgot to ask them if it would be ok) are the most gentle and beautiful people you could ever hope to know and I'm blessed to be able to call them dear friends. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Very nice atmosphere of inner garden and great food!

I am NOT a vegetarian, however, Green Temple is one of my favorite places to eat!

Awesome spot for vegan/vegetarian food. Chill, zen indoor/outdoor courtyard patio seating in addition to the small indoor seating.

Excellent Vegan options

Great food. My favorite Cornadilla. Yum!

They have a few gluten free vegitarian options, service is great, and the decor is like being in a meditation room.

Tofu sauce so good!

Always a great experience!

Best veggie restaurant in the South Bay. The tofu sauce IS the definition of umami!

Good food and heaters for evening....

Good vegetarian comfort food. Lots of different options.

Great vegan food

Great...

An absolute gem!!!

Wow, great food... Strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Wonderful!!

So yummy. Delicious.

Pinenut potatoe broccoli casserole is so good I came back for lunch 2 days later to have it again before I leave town. The sauce reminds me of the vegan bitchin sauce sold at Whole Foods. This is 5 star quality food at affordable pricing. Located in a walkable quant area. Love it here.
