    Raw steak
    Christine M.

    Chain restaurants are hard to rate because we have expectations. If we are real though, chain restaurants aren't always satisfying anymore. Where the expectation is convenience, rather than excellence. Which is kind of sad. Especially today. This review is probably more about the experience than the food. We came and were seated by the kitchen. Right off the bat, the guy who was at the pass of the kitchen was chewing out a waiter saying things like "well you can tell them we don't do that! Why would you even tell them we would be able to accommodate that." Later, they served us our meal and the same guy asked if everything was ok? As my boyfriend was going to ask for more ranch, he walked away... why would you ask if everything was ok if you don't care and are just going to walk away? My fettuccine Alfredo came, it was SUPER watery. I wasn't going to say anything but my boyfriend spoke up because he heard our server even make an uneasy noise looking at us scoop the liquidy cream sauce. She said yeah it's not supposed to be like that. As she took it to this same guy (that has been causing a hostile environment for the rest of the staff) and kitchen, said "what do you mean?? That's how it's supposed to look! It's perfectly fine." Continued basically gaslighting saying there's not much more they can do. It was hostile enough that we didn't want to speak up on the other numerous issues we had. First, my mom had ordered the new spinach artichoke lasagna, corrected them as they almost ordered the short rib lasagna, then served us the short rib lasagna anyways.. like a true fatty fam, my mom ate it anyways. I didn't really like the pressure that they forced asking if the pasta was right, when they told us "there's not much they can do." Honestly with how much we paid, I would've rather gone to a hole in the wall Italian joint in Duarte or Pasadena. Sorry, probably not going to come back. A shame because I do love CPK.

    THAI CRUNCH SALAD $20
    Richard B.

    Great location! This location is very convenient for us. We usually come and put our name down, then walk around until we get a text letting us know the table is ready. Service is a hit or miss. It really depends who you get and how busy they are. Carol is one of the servers that stand out, but I don't know if she still works here. Carol was one of the best servers for this . There always seen to be flies and/or gnats flying in the dining area. This is a huge turn off for a restaurant. I guess I only come back here for the convenience of the location. The food is good. It really depends what you get, and I usually stick to my usuals... Some of my all-time favorites are: chicken tequila fettuccine, Kung Pao spaghetti, Thai chicken Pizza, wild mushroom pizza and of course the barbecue chicken pizza. The complimentary bread that is served with olive oil is quite good. I always ask for balsamic vinegar to go along with it and it adds so much more flavor. My recently tried the Thai crunch salad and the carne asada pizza. They were both pretty good. To wrap it up, it's a very convenient place to eat and the food is good overall. However, the flies and gnats that fly around kind of ruin the dining experience. I would still come back just because it is convenient but I wish the management can do something about the flies and the gnats.

    Lunch Duo: Thai Crunch Salad + Avocado THE ORIGINAL BBQ CHICKEN PIZZA
    Stella C.

    Have been coming to CPK my whole life and it's always a solid place for getting food and hanging out with friends and family. I really like their lunch deals- good selection and great value. Just a bit sad that they were out of their new item, the burnt ends pizza; that looked interesting. I got a bbq chicken pizza and thai salad instead. The pizzas and complimentary bread are nice with soft crusts and the thai salad crunch was refreshing. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The service was great. Fun location in the mall. Was able to be seated for a party of 4 on Monday lunch with no wait.

    Came on a Tuesday / Wednesday night. Crystal took care of us, she did a great job. She was friendly, helpful, and explained some of the drinks. We ordered a Sicilian pizza and a works with cauliflower crust, with no olives. Food came out correctly and tasted good. She must have been selling a lot of drinks cause it looked like she was a bartender too. We enjoyed the food and the service. They had TVs with the dodgers game on to watch. Restaurant was clean and staff were friendly. We'll be back again.

    NEW - STEAKHOUSE SALAD
    Vicky W.

    Having a lunch meeting with my friend and we stopped here for the second time. This place is always neat and clean. It was on a weekday so there were no much wait. The waiter greeted us with a smile and seated us quickly. We saw the new item-- steak salad and Thai shrimp as the appetizer and decided to give them a try like we always do!! Love the food taste test!! The salad is very refreshing with texture and flavors, but the steak portion is a little disappointing. We love the shrimp appetizer!! Very crunchy and the sauce is sweet with a slight tangy. Highly recommended to try.

    Came on a weekday, clean, spacious restaurant with plenty of seats, attentive, friendly service, affordable lunch special, delicious gluten free pizza & salad. Their lunch specials are Mon-Fri from 11a-4p, pizza duo & sandwich duo were only $13.99 and pasta duo $12.99. All duos came with a cup of soup or lunch size salad. The manager personally came out to serve me my pizza & reassured me it was baked in a separate oven so there's no cross contamination. Their peach ice tea was also delicious with free refills, they even gave us a cup to go. Their lunch specials are such a great deal, I highly recommended it! CPK is located on the 2nd floor near Macy's.

    Mold on the bread Togo :(
    Paul G.

    I ordered food for take for my fiancée and mom and we had been going to this location for years. The person helping me for the Togo order was so nice and helpful. But I just have to report a low score because they served us bread with mold. Thank goodness I caught this or we could have all been sick. I hope for the Togo orders to be better with the freebies after this

    MUSHROOM PEPPERONI SAUSAGE PIZZA
    Francisco M.

    This location is on the second floor on the Macy's side of the mall. It's nice looking and cleans. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. The staff was friendly and helpful. The host seemed tired but that's not problem. The bread they give for the table was actually decent. It was crisp while soft. I got the mushroom pepperoni sausage pizza. It was pretty good. Not too oily and well balanced amount of toppings. The thin crust was crispy. I only ended up eating half, maybe could've have a fourth slice. It's a good place to chill with friends/family.

    AVOCADO CLUB EGG ROLLS
    Sheeny N.

    First off, EXCELLENT SERVICE. We had a wonderful waitress who always checked on us and was so bubbly. Food came out within 10 minutes of ordering. You can choose to either sit on the inside part of the restaurant, outdoors, or by the walkway of the mall (which can appear awkward sometimes with strangers staring at you). Avocado Club Eggrolls: 10/10 AMAZING. No notes on this dish. It's savory and comes with ranch and thousand island dipping sauce. Macaroni & Cheese: 5/10. I FEEL SCAMMED. People on Tik Tok kept hyping up this dish and talking about how they changed the recipe and how good it was. I was once again a victim of these Tik Tok lies! This dish was so bland and the sauce didn't even coat the pasta noodles. Some of the fusilli was dry. I feel like I can make it better at home. They give you complimentary bread and olive oil, but that was VERY BLAND as well. Sadly, CPK's quality of food has gone down. However, I wouldn't mind going back again for the avocado egg rolls. Parking is convenient and free since it's in a mall!

    Spicy Milano on Cauliflower Crust.  Crust is nice n Crispy!
    Alex C.

    One of the great places to eat at when visiting the The Shops Santa Anita. Never had a long wait. You can call in before hand so you don't have a long wait. Everyone loves the pizza here. The mushroom pepperoni sausage is one of my family's go tos. If you're not feeling pizza there are other plates to choose from. There are different pasta and salad creations to choose from the menu. Salads I recommend the Cobb salad or the Thai crunch. Pasta I would go with Jambalaya linguini fini. It has great flavor with shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage, and ham. The service has always been on point. Great place to come enjoy a great meal after all that shopping.

    Where is the cheese? Nonexistent
    Catherine W.

    Ordered through uber eats and what we received was a disappointment. I attached a photo of the pizza we received. Barely any toppings and where is the cheese? The pizza also looks like it shrunk. The prices did not match the quality of food.

    We have been here many times and it never disappoints. Everything is always so tasty and satisfying. From appetizers to entrée and drinks. I am all about pasta and pizza.. this is IT. Thank you CPK for always being so good.

    SICILIAN PIZZA and Cobb salad
    Emily L.

    We received a gift card from the holidays and finally got around to using it. Got to say, the food and service has been the best I've seen in years! Our waitress was Lauren and she was so amazingly lovely and attentive. She made great suggestions and always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. From the start, the free bread was perfectly toasted and great with the herb olive oil (ask for balsamic on the side) She suggested the spinach dip and it was a great starter, surprisingly large portion! The Sicilian pizza was exceptional. The pizza came out pipping hot, the dough had the most toasty char while the inside was light and fluffy. The toppings felt super fresh and of good quality like the fresh basil. Soooo good! I always order a Cobb salad, standard, but still hits the spot. Thoroughly impressed with our visit.

The great service, the quality of the food, and the overall atmosphere made for a really enjoyable meal. If you're heading to BJ's in Arcadia, definitely ask for Charlie--you won't be disappointed!

    I've heard some good things about this place and from other fellow yelpers friends, it must be…read moreworth it. Had a dinner reservation with some girlfriends celebrating two of their birthdays. The restaurant itself isn't too big but it does a pack a nice punch. Cute patio out front that takes some of the sidewalks and streets. Plenty of heat lamps which helped with the chilly nights. We got seated at one of the tables on the patios which was nice. Didn't really utilize inside area except for the restroom which it's quite cute in there. The rooms were pretty well decorated and executed. Nice bar area too. Like mentioned, we got seated on the patio and the heat lamps were great. Down to the menus, it's quite limited on dishes. Seemed like there were more shared plates versus the entrees. Drinks, it was fairly decent with their cocktails and wine. Service at the beginning was great. The staff were amazing and very friendly. We didn't order right away as we were still waiting for the last one to show. But did start off with some drinks. It didn't take that long for the first round which was nice. Food wise, the shared plate was a mixture of everything. Some of the olives, which is exactly what it is. The Belgian fries, nice thick cut fries with shredded pecorino cheese and a nice aioli sauce. We ended up getting a second order of it. The albacore tuna crudo was a hit which was really tasty. Chili ginger relish, mint and shallot, can't go wrong with that. Lastly the meatballs, tasty and very great for sharing. Entrees, the pan seared sea bass which I loved. Portion is pretty tiny which also seemed like they were a shared plate. Almost tapas styled. Nice chimichurri sauce and a side salad. The chicken Milanese also with a side salad of arugula. Simple dish but quite tasty. One of the salads that was somewhat hyped up by the waitress but it was just a salad. Decent but nothing major to rave about...lol... also the confit oyster mushrooms was major hit. Something that simple but quite tasty. And lastly the pan con tomate, rustic sourdough with tomatoes and burrata. Tasty as well. Overall the meal was good. From there, the second round of drinks did take a long time to arrive and with then plates that we shared, trying to get someone to clear the plates was another thing. Took a long for someone to clear the table before more items came. Even when the entrees came, all the empty starter plates were still there. And if someone did clear the plates, some was still left on the table. Finishing off the night, we did have the dessert which we tried all three. As it was two of our girlfriends birthday, they brought out a little bubbly for us to celebrate with the dessert. That was quite sweet and nice. Honestly opinion with the dessert, they were just ok. Nothing major to rave about. We tried all three on the menu and they were just ok. Overall, the food was great. Service was nice and the staffs were all very friendly. It did take a while for plates to get cleared from the table and second round did take a while, but it was manageable. It was a sweet gesture with the bubbly with the dessert which was greatly appreciated. The place is nice and great for catching up. Menu is limited and portions are quite small. You would have to get a good amount for sharing. Entrees, depending on what you order is small as well. But we enjoyed ourself.

    Service: 5 stars, our server Kiana was outstanding. I troubled her for a glass of ice, she…read morebrought me a glass of ice and filled it with water for me and said I filled it with water for you! She read my mind and knew without me saying. They serve lukewarm water and the a/c was on but was not on ..if u catch my drift. The front hostess was also phenomenal, I had reservation for outdoor seating but since she saw that the sun was like glaring, she asked if I wanted to change to inside. Very obliging and accommodating. Food: 5 stars, surprisingly good, right amount for us. I was full but I can see where other reviewers say portions are small. It's small if u're a heavy eater. But the quality is definitely there. Ambiance: trendy, high energy, casual vibes where u can lounge and have a beer while munching on fries...or u can choose to be poshy and have a glass of wine with a salad and Chilean sea bass. It's flexible to accommodate both as there are different sections. Parking: street metered 1 hour parking. 3 stars, not their fault but 1 hour is simply not enough. It can get super busy and the server can be pulled left and right, so cut them some slack during super busy hours. Will definitely be back. Highly recommended .
