I am so excited for this video!! I am in Scottsdale and new to being vegan and this just makes my day to know where we can go!
Great video featuring a great restaurant! The likes on this would be sky high if UA-cam had a smell or taste feature. Even if you don't adhere to a plant based diet, you can't go wrong eating at Green.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to this post and the commenters as well. I am transitioning to veganism and I live in Phoenix.
New sub here; I really enjoy all your videos and your positive attitude radiates thru the screen.
Love that are helping more people discover such a wonderful restaurant! This world is changing, one person at a time, due to you and places like green.
Give Pam your biggest hug for the awesome camera work. Keep up the great content, that's making a difference to peoples lives.
Jake, your interviewing skills- spot on, and a joy to watch

Jake, your killin' me... wow that looks amazing.
holy mother this place looks so good!!!!! can't wait to try it out.
Nami is great! I would stop by there plenty of times when I was going to school in downtown Phoenix!
Love that you're a local vegan! You should check out The Coronado it's also in Phoenix right across from Nami, they offer vegetarian and vegan meals and it's so delicious!
OH I am going here!!!
first place I heard had buffalo wings....oh man! i miss those so much.. its been a struggle watching family and friends eat buffalo wings. i can't wait to try this out. im excited! have you been to the veggie house? its a nice little vegan chinese food place on 12th street and northern...so good!
Jake, thanks so much for the tip. Took my daughter there yesterday for lunch (the one on Scottsdale road), and it was freakin amazing. Huge amount of food and really good pricing. I'm not vegetarian, but if all food was this good - sign me up!!!!! Again, thanks for the tip.
That place looks cool!
Hey Jake, a client of mine's daughter moved here from Chicago and opened a vegan restaurant in Tempe a couple of years ago. I heard it's really good. It's called Desert Roots if you want to check it out :) Very nice video! I love it!
Hey Sasha. Thanks for the Heads up. I've never been to Desert Roots but I'll go try them out! :)
:) Anytime! Her dad is a Mastro's steak guy and he likes her food. Pretty good testament:). I've never been there but I should. Maybe I'll take a day trip from Carefree and try both places. I'm not vegan but I'm a sucker for good salads. That Brussels sprouts dish you had looks awesome! Have a great weekend Jake!
I’ve been vegan for 3 years! I live in chicago and it’s horrible they have no cool vegan places here my bf and I r coming to travel here in Arizona in January I’m so excited!!
you should also check out the green in downtown Phoenix as well as 24 carrots in Tempe!!! Both are great options for vegan food :))
Sam Judd Green Downtown Phoenix is in this video! Watch the whole video!
this is great to see! I just wish they were not frying so many things in oils. Some people need to be nearly oil free for health reasons. But it is still great progress and so glad it is happening!
AHH! this is such a great place! miss it so much ( moved from scottsdale)
Green really does hit the spot!
Thanks

The seed shack is great 👍
I am watching over here in San Diego and I wish a Greens would open up near here just to try the "fish" tacos.
We need your resturant in Tucson, AZ Please !
oh man I wish I had that sweets shop here in Dallas 😢
Great review...moving back to Tucson soon and hope there are some vegan restaurants there too. If not, I'll head north to Phoenix for sure.
the vacuum commercial is all I can get :( Never mind - I refreshed and it worked
When I visit Phoenix, I always make it a point to go to Greens and Nami. Gimme a Big Whack and I'll be happyyyyyyy!!

Hurry up and get one in Kentucky!
I'm gonna have to check that place out on my next trip over there. Looks delicious. I went to the Loving Hut while I was there and enjoyed their food very much... :)
Yes, Loving Hut used to be called Supreme Master Ching Hai's Vegetarian House but they changed the name a few years back to Loving Hut. I love that place too and they've been in the Phoenix area for decades! ;)
Problem in the West Palm Beach Area and north of that in Florida is the lack of Vegan restaurants. I'm hoping more will pop up. It is needed.
of course you can't go to Green without going to Nami after. Love your channels. My wife and I are in phoenix what's the best way to link up with your meet up group?
I'm not vegetarian but you're making me hungry for vegan food.
Ok, you convinced me I need to move there! Great interview, he is such a great guy! 💕❤💕❤🌈💕❤💕❤
It’s my hope that places like this become part of the norm. I’m tired of not having that choice when I go out and get hungry.
I love this place! I still dream of their tsoynamis. Green also has gluten free as well which is amazing! They have gluten free "meat" I think made from mushrooms? Jake you should get the recipe and do a video 😉 and tell them to come to Vegas. We have all these amazing places to eat, but nothing like green / tsoynami. 😞
oh wish this was located in Palo Alto CA.. could you tell me where I can buy some of the vegan tshirts you mentioned in the video?
I cannot find the seed bank box video for April. Did you make one yet?
I'm planning move to Arizona in next couple of yrs I'm so excited live somewhere new and also warm !!! As soon i get my own place when i move to Arizona, i want to start the process to become vegan !!! I'm going vegan for animal rights, earth and etc
Best place in Phoenix for a vegan with a serious appetite for some calories to burn :D I eat so much I go to the gym and pull a double workout. Thinks of going today too!
my ex in-laws are in carefree. if I ever get back to the US and visit them I'll have to check it out. food looked awesome!
I LOVE GREEN! Don't forget a soynami😀
I've got to try a vegan restaurant. I'm not a vegetarian, or a vegan, but I do believe in a diet with a lot of fruits and vegetables. I think it would be fun to try -- and a healthy change of pace. My wife is Buddhist and they believe in eating vegan at least one day a week.
Hoi Jake the food looks so good! Yummy! XXOO
What kind of oil do they fry food in?
Do any of the restaurants use hemp seed protein in their dishes?
Its protein is more assimilable by the body than soy based protein.
next time you see him please ask him to start having a shop on his website so we can buy some with the shirts please!
Jake, I'm confused by two common vegan practices, the first is consumption of white flour products, and the second is the high sugar consumption. Can you please clear up my confusion as to why these items are considered healthy?
notif squad
Do they also have gluten free items on the menu?
Have you been back recently?? They have a killer philly cheese steak now and I think it might actually beat the big wack.
Jake do you eat eggs and fish ?
Vegan Heaven!!
👍❤️
😳 *drool! #eat🌱
I have heard not to use iceberg lettuce but why not romaine???
Looks Amazing!! Sure wish they were in my town!
May I make a suggestion?: Instead of/ in addition to "info & links" on the main page, place "Locations". It took me a few clicks to find your restaurants.
yum ;)
What is the source for yogurt and butter being a vegan? Coz I'm a vegetarian and as per our pediatrician vegan is best for my son. And now am totally confused how to switch atleast yogurt if not for butter...
Our "regular" grocery store carries soy yogurt and coconut milk yogurt. Lemon isn't usually my favorite flavoring, but, in my experience, the lemon was the best flavor of soy yogurt. The vanilla flavored coconut milk yogurt seems to be the best of that variety (but the chocolate was disappointing). If a grocery store in a medium sized central Texas city has vegan products, there is hope for all of us!
DarkLegion75 I live in Sharjah UAE and believe me it's really difficult to find vegan products here... I've decided to set yogurt in the lactose free milk my son drinks from normal yogurt and then continue from there . Hopefully it should work. I've definitely not seen alternative for butter. May be some recipes will help me...
its junk food tho
but still i looks very very tasty ;D
btw, do you have a lychee tree in your garden yet?
lychee are awesome
Drool 🤤
Pomegrante cafe?
oh! sorry For this dirty language . I'm too Jealous of you because in my place where im living no one knows what's vegan , even im came to know after seeing your UA-cam Channel . I'm very proud of you guys that your saving animals by being vegan . Thanks for your vegan video's and waiting for next video
Instead of sending all the business to Whole Paycheck sorry Whole Foods how can we see that product sold to Sprouts? More of them around and prices still let me pay my mortgage.
Our favorite restaurant! BFF and Original "G" FTW!!! #vegan #eatmorplantz ;)
imo as a vegan you SHOULD eat honey alot since buying real honey supports the beekeeper, and the beekeeper supports the bees, and im sure we all know what happens to us when bees seize to exist
That looks like good food foreshore. LOL
Great review, great idea of a restaurant. My hometown lacks a full vegan restaurant for sure. But I have to criticise one particular thing: If it is vegan, food is organic, why do they offer plastic cups for water? Synthetic material is made of fossil fuels, we all know what that means.
So please, please, if you aim to be so sustainable and healthy, use glassware or pottery instead of plastic cups.
Big Wac all the way!
he said a honey flavored wing. Is there a vegan honey??? or is honey vegan???
Larry Foxen there are many products that replicate the sweetness and viscosity of honey. Look up bee free honey for example. :-) No, you are correct, honey is not considered vegan.
Why in the world do i watch this stuff when I don't have time to go out and eat....
I ate there it was fucking delicious. I would go broke therr
Crazy sugar on that dessert, but the rest looks appealing.
I've been a vegan for 20 minutes now and I feel fantastic... Little hungry, though...
Huh? Romaine is not top quality? Curious.
jake my name is fernando ulloa and i am 35 years old and going down hill brother i need help getting my life back in track please look into me becouse i feel like i am not doing good i drink vodka every day and want to feel better so i can have a longer life ! please help me i watch your videos all the time !!!!
I'm the same age as you...I don't drink vodka...I am full vegan and exercise everyday! It's not easy to be vegan and exercise everyday but I do it because i love the results of a healthy life, mind, and body! Good luck
I appreciate that Jake has manners when he eats. Soooo... many other vloggers take bites the size of 3 normal people and talk with their mouths loaded with food. Disgusting.
Damon didn't answer Jake's question (11:56) on why vegans eat fake meats. He just repeated his "it's just not sustainable" and "...living conditions animals are held in" pitch. Okay, we get all that. Either Damon didn't fully understand the question, or he didn't know how to answer it and deflected back to the usual talking points. To Jake's question, and I wish Jake would've interjected and given his own answer; why do vegans pretend to eat animals when they're so compassionate about all living creatures and sickened at the thought of eating them? Why the "mock" this and "mock" that? It seems hypocritical. If I'm compassionate about ALL living creatures, then as a compassionate vegan, I wouldn't want to pretend to be eating them.
i love bleach
place looks like a ghost town jake... vegan restaurants don't do well in flyover states ;)
Plastic is not nice
A chef who has tatoos is definetely not a chef for me ! That’s not the brightest of vegan food by the way. The indians know how to cook vegan, not a guy from phoenix.
I support Veganism but I think it is too much of a generalisation to say that all animals who are slaughtered for meat are kept in appalling/inhumane conditions. Granted this is true in too many cases but I think this insults many good and honest farmers who take care of their animals before they are slaughtered for meat.
The truth is that 99.9% of animals being raised for humans to EAT are being kept in Horrible Holocaust Like Conditions! But, for me personally if the animals is being raised for Murder/Slaughter then that in itself is WRONG and a form of torture!
Hypothetical Situation: If my neighbors knew I was adopting dogs and cats from the pound and bringing them back to my beautiful garden for "slaughter" (to then eat for dinner) they would do anything to alert the authorities to raid my home and save the dogs and cats! Cows, pigs, fish, chickens, sheep, etc are no different and just like Dogs and Cats should be treated with compassion! Just because humans are smart enough to trap animals and kill them doesn't mean we should!!! ;)
VeganAthlete I think that may be slightly too high a number Jake. I get your argument and I don't ever want to see animals suffer either but sadly all life is destined to die at some point and the nature of existence means that all life must consume another source of life to survive (animal or plant). The natural world is very cruel and full of predators and prey dichotomies at all levels. I wonder if the planet could survive if all creatures ate plants and no animals ate each other. Wouldn't there be a huge population explosion amongst animals and humans and an eventual situation where there aren't enough plants to sustain such a large increase in animal and human life? Granted it works for humans as we can cultivate our own crops but for animals competing for resources it is a different story. Food for thought! I really love your channels by the way and this is just for debate. As I say I support Veganism but I don't think it is something that is so black and white. We need less meat eaters though so a more healthy balance would be ideal.
NXK Martial Arts What difference does it make, if in the end they're getting slaughtered anyway; nobody wants to be killed, regardless of how nice you're treated before hand.
NXK Martial Arts Nope, considering how many animals are slaughtered to feed humans, 99,9% is probably correct. Human industrial history does not respect slaughter animals. If ithey were smaller, more artisan type of operations, perhaps there would be more respect. There are lots of reasons to eat more vegetables.
Animals that are carnivores are made to eat meat by natures order. But Humans don't need animal flesh for nutrician and a plant based diet is best for the planet and all its inhabitants. We are supposed to be more intelligent but our modern society is lacking in that area. Present society's are no better than animals who only care about eating sleeping sex and defense.
Sorrey you might be vegan 16 years but I lernt as a little kid that you take your hat off when you enter a biulding and then to sit down and eat with your cappy on sorrey thats a NO NO
Haha! I would rather be vegan eating with my hat on, than a meat eater with good hat manners! ;)
Richard Sydenham i think thats a custom for only some but not for all groups of people... a king doesnt remove his crown when eating his dinner ..i.e ..just saying
I have been vegan for 13 days and my 9 year old has been for 4 days! I am taking him here! thanks for this video!
