    An unassuming gem. Never knew about the restaurant until recommended by a local. Living in Studio City, I was reluctant to make the trek in lousy rush hour traffic for a dinner. I was very happy we did. Also they have a reasonable corkage.

    Service was lacking. Day for a long time with no acknowledgement. Had to ask the bus boy if someone could take our order. Later had to ask someone if we could get our check. Tough to get service.

    Green Street never disappoints. One of our favorite spots to entertain guests when in from out of town. My Nephew ordered the Breakfast Burrito - which was fantastic. That will be my next breakfast choice. Love your Zucchini Bread, and Diane Salad.

    We had an early lunch, so it wasn’t crowded, nor noisy. The food was delicious and even lunch portions were enough for a second leftover meal. One cannot go wrong with their salads

    I haven't been to Green Street in over 10 years, but there are three things I have ALWAYS eaten there. The Dianne salad, Stephens sandwich and the AMAZING Zucchini bread! Tried them again yesterday - just as good as I remember them! There's a reason why they have been around for 40 years......just saying!

    We ordered a couple of our favorites at this restaurant. It may have been due to the hot weather today; but the salad was soggy and warm by the time it was served. We took it to go, stopped at a grocery store, bought lettuce, and remade the salad at home.

    I suggested the restaurant because of their Diane salad and Zucchini bread. We ordered 2 appetizers, homemade potato chips with dip and the Mexican Corn Flatbread with a cocktail. They both were delicious, but we were so full by the time we were ate them. I ordered the Diane salad; my friend ordered the Cornucopia salad, and they offer a small or regular size. The guy's got the Steak and Diane and the Thai Chicken dinners. The Thai Chicken dinner came with 2 chicken breasts. We were too full to eat dessert, however, I took home a loaf of the Zucchini bread. They also sell several different types of cookie dough for you to take home and bake. Everyone at the table was very thankful that I suggested the Green Street Restaurant. The restaurant is the on the bottom level-street level of a parking garage and makes it very easy to park and eat without the hassle of traffic. They have outdoor seating.

    We are long time customers of Green Street, and we can tell the difference between pre COVID and now. Menu is streamlined (less options) and there are less servers to cover all the tables. I had the Karen's Chicken Club and although it was fine, it was not as good as it used to be, I think different chicken. Anyway I think these changes are taking place at most restaurants so I really can't fault Green Street.

    Had a nice lunch here today with a friend. We expected a wait, but were seated immediately. It took a bit for the server to come to the table and acknowledge us, this place was really busy. Once he introduced himself, the service was great and fast. Our food took no time at all and it was delicious. Water glasses kept full. Very nice experience.

    I brought friends who visited the restaurant for the very first time. They were more than impressed with the quality of the food and the huge portions! We ordered the Diane Salad, of course, and the Southwest Chicken salad with a guacamole and chip starter. Needless to say, we took half our our meal home with us. Service was friendly, but it appeared that the restaurant may have been a bit understaffed. Otherwise, great time, great meal.

    This is our favorite Pasadena restaurant. The menu offers many choices and breakfast served until 3:00 provides even more. The food presentation and quality is outstanding. There is lovely patio seating and the inside seating is spacious and equipped with noiseless Hepa filters. The staff provides pleasant, helpful and efficient service. Recommend it for small or large parties of all ages.

    Service was good and basic, waiter was polite and took our drink orders and then our food order. He checked in on us once to see how our food was. He asked if we wanted dessert which we declined and then brought us our check and thanked us for coming in. Food was good, slightly smaller portions than we've had in the past. Glad they don't charge a surprise service fee.

    A rock solid unpretentious cafe. The most unusual ingredient on the menu is pork loin, which I had in a fabulous build your own sandwich along with a substantial green salad and terrific black bean chicken soup, all of under $20. Nice patio too, although it's right on a small side street. If it wasn't an hour drive for me I'd be here a lot more often.
