The Best Protein Bowls in Orange County

Why Green Tomato Grill’s Protein Rice Bowls Stand Out

If you're on the hunt for a wholesome, flavor-forward rice bowl in Orange County, Green Tomato Grill is hard to beat. With four locations—Orange, Brea, Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach—you’ve brought fresh, globally inspired bowls to the OC market. What sets your protein bowls apart:

• High protein: Every bowl starts with a “pick your protein” option (chicken, steak, salmon, tofu) — making it easy to hit 30 g+ of protein.

• Veggie-rich and flavorful: Each bowl features a base of rice (white or brown) plus vibrant vegetable toppings, fresh herbs, slaws, pickled onions, etc. For example, the Teriyaki Ginger Bowl offers broccoli, edamame, carrot, cabbage, green onion and sesame seed.

• Inclusive diet options: Bowls are flagged gluten-free, and you offer tofu or other plant-based proteins for vegan/vegetarian-friendly bowls. Paleo / keto / low-carb options are also available in your menu categories.

• Bold global sauces: From chimichurri to thai cashew, miso ginger to baja green sauce—the sauces bring big flavor, which matters when you’re choosing “healthy” but also delicious. All of our sauces are house made and made with lots of love and flavor.

All in all, Green Tomato Grill offers that sweet spot: nutrient-dense, protein-rich, fresh produce + global flavor, and flexible enough to fit diet goals.

Top Protein Rice Bowls to Try

Here are some standout bowls from your menu that deserve mention (and can be featured in-post with photos):

1. Teriyaki Ginger Bowl: Your choice of protein + broccoli, edamame, carrot, cabbage, green onion, sesame seed & white rice — all served with the teriyaki ginger sauce.

2. Chile Verde Bowl: Your choice of protein + avocado, black bean, cilantro, onion, corn, bell pepper, lime wedge & white rice; served with chile verde or a spicy salsa roja.

3. Baja Cali Bowl: Your protein + black bean, corn, cilantro, tomato, zucchini, fresno chile, pickled onion, cotija, lime wedge, white rice & cabbage slaw, served with Baja green sauce.

Why These Bowls Are “Best in OC” Material

• Location convenience: With four OC locations you cover a lot of ground – Orange, Brea, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach.

• Nutritional integrity meets taste: Many “healthy bowls” compromise on flavor; you don’t. The global sauces + fresh produce deliver taste without sacrificing quality.

• Wide appeal: Whether someone is vegan, gluten-free, paleo, keto or just eating clean — you’ve got options.

• Protein focus: With the “pick your protein” mechanics, guests know they’re getting a serious meal, not just a side salad.

• Customization = empowerment: Don't like any of our bowl options? Create your own masterpiece with your choice of steak, chicken, salmon, or tofu, base of rice or greens, four veggies, and your sauce.
