I recently discovered Green New Vegetarian restaurant when my diet needs changed. I was looking for something tasty yet vegan. I know, sounds like an oxymoron. I really did find some great things at Green.
The business is in a nondescript retail Plaza on the west side of Scottsdale Road, to the south of the Salvation Army store. There is a small outdoor patio, which is nice. The inside is very clean and open, and lends to the trendy side. I especially appreciate the ice machine comma which is correctly labeled with a million small pictures of Ice Cube.
There are some great selections on this menu. Let me interject by saying they also have a good selection of beer, wine and other drinks. On my first visit, I tried the classic veggie burger. It was really great. The burger was tasty and had a nice size. The thyme fries, while a little bit on the soggy side, were very tasty as well. On my second visit, I tried the buffalo chicken po-boy. I wasn't as big a fan of this sandwich. It was a very large portion comma and the buffalo sauce had a nice flavor. I think I was just not a fan of the mock chicken texture itself. Again, I had the thyme fries, and they were the same as before.
On my most recent visit, I had the Thai peanut Rice Bowl. There was not a whole lot of rice, but just enough to accent the amazing amount of vegetables and perfectly marinated tofu. The sauce was a bit runny, but had a nice flavor. On this visit, a friend and I also ventured into the world of tsoynami. These cups of heaven come in many different flavors and are absolutely delicious non-dairy ice cream treats. We tried the s'mores flavor and also the cookie dough flavor. I could eat the cookie dough all by itself. As a matter of fact, they do sell the cookie dough comma which is also hilariously named DOH!.
I thoroughly enjoyed visiting Green. Although, I did go in uniform a few times, and I don't think the guy there is too fond of me. Give this place a try!
