    IG: @ifoodiejenn | Chinese Chicken Salad
    Jenn N.

    I have ALWAYS loved California Chicken Cafe when I lived in LA. Three years later, visiting for work, they are still amazing and consistent with their quality! I must always order here at least once when I'm back in LA for work. I always get the Chinese Chicken Salad and they really give you lots of veggies and meat. You don't really need two sauces as one is good enough. I can't really say too much about service since I only order delivery, BUT they have given me free chicken meat sometimes so that's cool! Ambiance - hard to say too as I only order delivery. They also zip tie your order so you know it is for sure safe hahaha. 5/5 if you're craving dope salad

    I was in the mood for a salad so went to an old staple California Chicken cafe in Venice. It has been a while since I've been there so I didn't know what to expect. I mean how much can you mess up a salad! I ordered the California Chicken salad with no pasta or croutons. My dressing was the Balsamic Vinaigrette. The salad was very basic but really good. All the ingredients were very fresh. I'll definitely be back soon.

It is…read morea truly visually beautiful restaurant with a large outdoor area, gorgeous lighting, and large moving windows that make the space feel completely open. The staff are dressed in matching white t-shirts and pants, and the shirts say "All-Day Cafe." However, we walked in a little after 3:00 PM and found out we couldn't order smoothies (which end at 3:00) or breakfast items (which end much earlier at 11:00). For an "all-day cafe," that felt like a bit of a misrepresentation. ​Since it was very, very hot outside, I was disappointed that they were serving lukewarm water. Unfortunately, there was no vegan pizza on the menu, but our first waiter was very, very nice and friendly, and he had the kitchen accommodate us by omitting the cheese, substituting olive oil for chili oil, and adding spinach. The pizza turned out to be very thin, but yummy, and my party also enjoyed the ceviche. I had an iced coconut coffee that was absolutely delicious. ​After our first waiter ended his shift, our second waiter, Mike H., took over the table and never checked on us not even one single time after someone dropped off the food. When a small issue came up with one of the plates, he was just so nonchalant and dismissive, and Mike didn't add to the ambiance of the place at all. Fortunately, I believe it was a manager who then stepped in with a smile and addressed the issue, which was really nice. Aside from that unfortunate service experience, the food and drinks were tasty, but the misleading menu hours, lukewarm water on a hot day, and inattentive waiter definitely left room for improvement.

My server Ramiro seemed rushed and avoidant , even though The place was near empty. I did not see him throughout the service and had to walk around the restaurant to order. He often walked near me with no acknowledgment and said he would return shortly and never did. I ordered the corn cake which was incredible. I also ordered the calamari which felt like a scam. It's mainly just fried Zuchini and no octopus. I had to ask other employees for the check, a box, and also to close out my check. An $80 check deserved some service and you won't find that at Fig Tree.

The hostess, bus boy, and food runner all did a fine job...but our server did absolutely nothing. After the hostess quickly seated us, we sat there for 20 minutes when my husband finally got up to ask the hostess if our server could come by. Another 10 minutes went by and just as we were about to leave the hostess came to the table to take our order. After our order was taken, a server dropped off drinks to our table after mistakenly delivering them to the table next to us. No hello, no "can I get you anything else"...nothing. I should also say that the busboy did bring us water about 10 minutes after we were seated. During this whole time we watched two servers walk past our table multiple times without one glance over to our table. We were literally sitting in front of the main entrance, so it's not like they didn't know we were there. One woman, who I think was our actual server, was too busy socializing with friends and taking sips out of their drinks to bother with us. It was actually ridiculous how terrible the service was. And unfortunately, the sticky table, dirty chairs, and mediocre food did not make up for the terrible service. This was an extremely disappointing experience after deciding to spend the last Friday of summer break having dinner at the beach. Management, this was on Friday, August 7th at 6:45pm. I highly recommend having a talk with your staff and retraining them on how to provide adequate customer service to your guests.

The service is REALLY BAD, it took almost 15min just to get a waiter/waitress (when the place was basically empty). When we finally got one (who I suppose didn't think telling us her name was important at all...), it was as if ordering food from her was a total inconvenience to her day when the place wasn't even crowded... The food was not very good either. The ceviche came out extremely fishy and when I told the server this she did not apologize nor try to make it right and gave us a ton of attitude, verbatim saying "what do you want me to do about it? They can't remake it; it's already made and is too tough for the kitchen to remake" - which tells me they are still feeding fishy ceviche to other people, which is alarming and she acted as if I should just eat it anyways... [this was a younger blonde girl in a hat] very strange behavior and extremely poor hospitality. The drinks are super watered down with too much mixer and hardly any alcohol. My girlfriend's fried chicken sandwich was super dry (she didn't finish it as a result) and my burger was pretty awful with little flavor (and very overcooked/charcoaled). The chicken dippers were ok, nothing special - super overfried to be honest (I guess the sauces were decent tho?). The french fries and broccolini may have been the best parts, which is alarming when the sides are significantly better than the mains (and even they weren't very good and had a TON of salt - the broccolini was the only thing we finished). The chips and guacamole were pretty flavorless and we left most of it uneaten. Overall, again, I recommend AVOIDING this place at all costs despite the appearance of a good ambiance just cause it's near the beach, as YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED and waste your money.

It's clear they've put intentional effort into improving this week, as service was a highlight for us. Our waiter, Sunny, was so polite, quick, and communicative. He had a lot of tables to cover, as it was a packed and chaotic room during the Mexico vs. Ecuador game last night. The N17 burger and fries (both the regular shoe string fries and sweet potato fries) were fantastic! Both were cooked just right, very flavorful, and the fries were nice and crispy. The atmosphere and design of the restaurant in front isn't your typical "sports bar" - it feels more like a cute, sunny brunch restaurant with high-quality screens for sports viewing - but the clientele feels just like any other sports bar would :) It was very lively and fun to watch with others last night. For the World Cup, they've opened up their event space in the back which is not set up like a typical restaurant - but it was great for viewing! The screens are HUGE and very high-quality.

Listen, I understand being busy is one thing but blatantly ignoring paying customers that have been sitting and waiting to be served for 20-30 minutes after only ordering two drinks is strange to me. And then to come back and ask if we wanted to remove the items we already ordered without us having to bring it up just lets me know that you remembered all this time but chose not to serve us until someone had to go ask to be served AGAIN. Even other venues that are 5x bigger than this one have better customer service/attentiveness. We also ordered the bottomless mimosas and only got through 2 bottles because it took them 20 minutes to bring out the first one and another 15 to bring out the second one when it was asked for. And on top of that, they act like they're doing YOU a favor by bringing out the food & drinks that YOU paid for. I have never written a negative review before but this experience was awful; just a waste of money &, what should have been, a good time.
