I happened to walk past this small shop on their first day of opening and could not resist giving it a go when I saw their menu. The Green Bucket is essentially, in my opinion, a slightly pared-down and less expensive version of The Daily Cut. Servings come in three sizes of small ($6.90), medium ($7.90) and large ($9.90) with the former two having one base, one protein, three toppings and one dressing each. The only difference between the large size and them is that it has two proteins. From what I saw today, the selection is very attractive:

1) Base: romaine lettuce, fusilli pasta, brown rice, soba noodles, sweet potato

2) Protein: chicken with herbs, grilled curry chicken, Korean BBQ chicken, smoked duck and ribeye (the last two costs $1.50 more)

3) Toppings: Japanese cucumber, purple cabbage, sweet corn, mixed capsicum, sunflower seeds, sliced almonds, cherry tomatoes, baby potatoes, brocolli, olives, quinoa, onsen egg, parmesan, button mushroom (extra 50 cents), baby spinach and toasted honey walnut (add $1 for the last two)

4) Dressing: Japanese sesame, rosemary vinaigrette, honey mustard, sweet Thai chilli, sour cream, Wafu and extra virgin olive oil

(Do note that Xan and Zale, the friendly young owners, said they're still tweaking things and the menu may change later).

Our verdict: Thumbs up! We were pleased with our takeaway meals as all the components within were of good quality and tasted fresh. Both small and medium portions were definitely above average for the price too. I did think the ribeye in my order was a little chewy but Xan had forewarned me that it would be, explaining that the device used to keep the food warm was not working properly and they were going to change it. As this should be a one-off incident, and given it's their first day of operations as well, I would honestly not hesitate to order the beef again.
