    The plentiful bounty of fresh goodness.
    Buck W.

    I'm asking myself why don't I come here more often?! Today was madness and I was starving. I dropped in and ordered the California Chicken Salad. As always the service is just extraordinary! Smiling happy faces. Ice cold water station set up while you wait. My order literally took only 4-5 minutes and I was out the door. The salad veggies are fresh. Chicken is plentiful and tasty. It's such a mix of goodness. I ate every bite and feel amazing eating so healthy. AND inexpensive.

    Ordered quarter chicken and upgraded to all thighs, they gave me what looks like three half thighs that are smaller than a standard business card. It's ridiculous when they specialize in rotisserie get send out food in such a state. Update: To add insult to injury, they can't be bothered to send a proper response and instead added some word vomit that has nothing to do with what went wrong. Oh, apparently the only way to get utensils is to go to another part of the menu to add them instead of prompting you at the end like most places. Like HUH?!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I remember the pre-covid days where you can actually dine inside California Chicken Cafe. Now, a majority of their locations just serve food to go and this location is no exception.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I haven't visited this location in awhile and I noticed that they remodeled the inside to have an area where you can place a walk-in order and wait for your order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Of course, you can still place an drive up order via the app. Pickup is in front of the restaurant on Ventura Blvd. You have to wait in the car line to pick up your order.

    One wrap (not even the one I ordered) when the receipt has 2 items, one of which is a salad.
    Jamie A.

    Ordered a wrap and salad via UberEats. CCC taped my order receipt to someone else's order and UberEats delivered it to me. This isn't the first time this CCC has made an error (or that an UberEats driver didn't bother to check the order). Would recommend ordering from a different location.

The atmosphere and decor are fun, clean, and inviting. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and hardworking. The Latin music softly playing overhead was soothing and pleasant. The food was perfectly prepared and delicious! Each dish was flavorful and fresh. My family and I ordered a garden omelette with fruit, a two-egg breakfast, and penne pasta. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor dining, and the restrooms were clean. As we finished our breakfast, a band was setting up to perform on the outdoor patio. Live music is performed here free of charge for guests several times a week, both during the day and in the evenings. Parking is limited, with perhaps ten spots in total; however, street parking is available. We definitely plan to return here soon.

The salads when we got them home were just about inedible. The actual "greens" were OK, I guess. But: -the dressings sucked...bad tastes and so sweet. -both of us bit into chicken pieces that had the crunchy cartilage part. This is BASIC for any restaurant serving chicken... no Crunchy Cartilage Parts! -the assembly line preparation looks like it could be kind of cool and efficient if all the elements were crazy good. Like Chipotle back in the day. But this looked like what it was... children dipping their ladles into not so great-looking bins of ingredients. (The kid serving us was actually quite nice and personable.) -I went and looked at the calories, fats, carbs, etc (online)( and was not impressed.

While in the area for a workout, I found myself famished and decided to stop here for a quick bite to take home with me. I ordered a bowl to go and it was made promptly although the order didn't end up being completely correct. I ordered a create your own bowl with some wild rice and kale, cucumbers, apples, chickpeas and sweet potatoes. I had also ordered the spicy cashew dressing and pesto vinaigrette but in place of the pesto vinaigrette I was given hot sauce. I double checked the order slip that was placed on the package and it was marked with both dressings, so I know the mistake wasn't on my end. Regardless, all of the veggies were very fresh and the dressing and hot sauce were very flavorful. Everything was portioned well and the meal was very hearty. It was also packaged in a way that made it easy to take with me to go. They have a lovely spacious outdoor patio that I would have loved to sit on, especially since it was a gorgeous day out. The inside and exterior of the restaurant was also very clean and tidy and bright. The service was friendly but it was busy when I came, so it felt like they were very rushed. Parking was very easy in their giant lot that they share with Amazon Fresh and a few other businesses.

Our thought was why not bring them out fresh so I can at least eat while waiting for the new plate that had to be remade. Anyways my new plate came out and chz was not as melted. It looked like the order was completely rushed. We understand since they had to make a new one because of the hair but there was no consideration. I only ate half not being satisfied. Still waiting on pancakes. Then we asked if we can just not do the pancakes since we had waited for so long, waitress said they were ready and still went to take another tables order. Waited still for the pancakes, ended up getting them to go. Coffee was good, scenery was nice, service could be way better!! I'm pregnant by the way, my patience was very sincere. We didn't complain, we didn't get offered anything for their mistake(NOT that we were expecting it). We paid and may not come back. Very Disappointed.

Parking in this area is very easy compared to Los Angeles and our server was very polite.

The menu is really large and filled with all sorts of great options and they have a ton of bakery items as well. It's really easy to find gluten-free and regular treats. Inside is also very large with many different table options and they seem to have very quick service because all the tables were returning pretty quickly. For this meal, I chose the soft omelette and thought it was fantastic. It was made just as I liked it and every part about it was great. We also ordered some of the churro pancakes and they were a real great sweet treat. They also have delicious drinks and honestly everything that we ordered was wonderful. I would definitely recommend to anyone in the area and already want to come back again to try some of their lunch options.

We asked for indoor so we understood that anyone sitting outside would go first, but what wasn't cool was seeing people who walked in after we had already been waiting get seated inside. It was super chaotic because no one knew how to order since you either have to order via the QR code on your table or at the register, so the manager had to step in and assign roles to everyone. FYI it's additionally confusing because there are no servers and yet they still have the workers run around delivering the food/drinks/etc. No hate at all to the workers since they are overworked and wearing many different hats, but this system just created a very frustrating breakfast experience. We were hoping the food would make up for this but unfortunately when I received my Blu Jam Benedict, the eggs were completely cold. The table next to us also had the same issue with their meals and sent back their food. Really want to give a shout out to the manager, Wilson, who worked very hard to make this experience better for us. He had a new one made for me and when I couldn't eat that one either because it still tasted off, he was able to refund my order. He was also so kind and very understanding to us throughout. My boyfriend thought his Crunchy French Toast and Iced London Fog Latte were fun and I liked the orange juice!

I visited with my mother and my toddler son. Since my son wasn't going to eat fried food, I bought him a fruit smoothie from a neighboring business. While we were already in line paying for our order, the owner or manager approached us and informed us that outside food and drinks were not allowed because the restaurant is kosher. Although he said he would make an exception this one time, he approached us again while we were waiting outside for our food. We had chosen to sit outside because the restaurant was crowded, loud, and stuffy inside. Despite us not causing any issues, he again insisted that the smoothie could not be on the premises and began explaining that his license could be suspended due to association rules. We politely told him it wasn't a problem and decided to take our food to go. I understand businesses have policies, but the way the situation was handled felt unnecessarily confrontational, especially considering the drink was for a toddler and we had already spent nearly $70 at the restaurant. Between the mediocre food, high prices, and rude customer service, I would not return. There are plenty of better dining options in the area.
