All vegan American and Asian cuisine in a deserted strip mall.

North of ASU campus on Scottsdale Rd., and south of downtown Scottsdale, is the old-fashioned fast-food joint Green! Green offers veg-minded people exceptional American comfort food and Asian fast food at inexpensive prices. (Not to mention that Green has arguably supplanted Pita Jungle as the hippest place in town to go to for Veg food and energetic ambiance.) In fact, Green has become so popular, they've knocked out the wall in the suite next them and expanded their space.

Appetizers include hummus, egg rolls, pot stickers, vegan crab puffs, spicy peanut tofu, and numerous vegan soups; priced from $2-4 each.

Also on the menu is an array decadent salads, as well as mouth-watering Vegan cheese pizzas, sandwiches, and burgers. ($1 extra will get you a whole-grain bun.)

There's also plenty of rice bowls to choose from which come with veggies and a variety of sauces, with your choice of mock beef, chicken, pork or tofu.

Last but not least are house specialties; a couple of mock chicken dishes, spaghetti and mock meat balls, and a Fried rice noodle dish.

Because Green offers so many mock meat selections, non-veggies will feel right at home. Which, in part, is why Green is rapidly transforming Veg eating the Phoenix metro area.

its alright, but pretty pricey for not actually ebing a restaurant (i do like the counter ordering though, just wish some of the prices were lower). Also, the Soynamis need MORE toppings in them, im paying % bucks and they are stingy with the flavors :(

I've been Vegan for over 10 years. I've eaten in many restaurants, Vegan and otherwise. And (in response the review below) I have ALWAYS been very IMPRESSED with Green!

1.Granted, there is no wait staff, and you do have to wait in line to order, but that wait (which is closer to 0-5 minutes except when they're super busy) is typically short. And when the line is long, they have a staff member approach diners and take their order while people are standing in line. So when you get to the counter you pay. Saying the wait is 20 minutes is an ultra-perverse exaggeration.

2.You do not have to bus your table, though it would be thoughtful and kind of you; as this is not a 4-star restaurant when it comes to decor or service. And Green never makes that claim. The low prices reflect that.

3.The kitchen staff does not wear gloves. I don't know if that is a health code violation or not. But I can tell you that I don't wear gloves to prepare food at my house...

4.Green is CLEAN! To say anything else makes me suspect someone either has an axe to grind; or is a competitor that doesn't get nearly the business that Green brings in because they are able to give customers what they want: GREAT vegan food at low prices!

GO GREEN!
