    KUNG PAO SPAGHETTI with shrimp
    Cheryl S.

    Good food. Good service. They still serve once of my favorite dishes. Feel good atmosphere.

    THAI CHICKEN PIZZA
    Madison D.

    Located inside Somerset - the restaurant is decent size. Sometimes there is a wait on the weekends or holidays. 3 stars for service. 5 stars for food. Great pizza and good vegetarian selections. Good for a draft beer while walking around the mall.

    NEW - NEAPOLITAN BURRATA PIZZA
    Rohit P.

    We ordered the Neapolitan Burrata pizza, Chipotle pizza, Dynamite Shrimp, and the Butter Cake for dessert. The burrata pizza was light and fresh, the chipotle pizza had great smoky flavors with beans and corn, and the dynamite shrimp was crispy with a nice tangy kick. The real standout was the Butter Cake -- warm, rich, and absolutely a must-try. Overall food was very good and nice ambience though the service was just okay.

    MARGHERITA PIZZA

    Haven't been to California pizza kitchen in awhile and I plan on going back! We ordered the avocado egg rolls for an appetizer and the margarita pizza for our main course. The prices were a bit high for the appetizer, however we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. My only complaint is that there weren't too many tables in this restaurant, as this location is a bit small, however, we received great service and our food was out very promptly.

    Never been here me and my friend shared a pizza. The bill was $22 out the door. One bbq pizza and one pop and water to share ... the smoked chicken on the pizza is absolutely great. You would think they would just throw some unthaw chicken onto it. Nope it's real smoked. And juicy chicken I'll be back

    The location of it being in a mall is an advantage, a nice place to take a break from all the shopping ( window shopping) and walking around the mall. The food was ok I mean it should have been good for the location at least , but I guess the vast food cuisine they have doesn't help in the taste of the food... the pizza was ok The service s good but most of the time it's a bit crowded ... wish they would have a more specialized menu instead of having the a variety of different cuisine dishes .

    Chipotle chicken

    Located right inside the front entrance of Somerset Mall, the ambiance is pretty standard for a chain restaurant. They did have a couple Christmassy decorations up, but nothing major. The service was top notch! Our waitress was very attentive and checked on us often, refilling our drinks/water and bringing us whatever we needed. We did have an issue with our order in that the pizza was brought out with chicken even though we ordered without but she put in a new order and quickly brought us a new pizza. The food was fresh and delicious as usual. The Chipotle chicken and tostada pizzas were both great! We are so happy the tostada is back on the menu. This place is a family favorite for us. They also have a great deal for gift cards right now where if you buy $100, you get a $25 bonus card.

    Shrimp appetizer
    Elaine W.

    Wonderful food! Got their shrimp appetizer, kids meal, and a steak pizza. All tasted amazing. My kid loved the variety that came with his kid meal. Mom said the steak pizza was the best pizza she ever had! Also a nice environment in the mall. Friendly service. Usually a line though around dinner time. Would return!

    Pacific Thyme mocktail
    K M.

    Stopped in for a mid-week lunch with a friend. It was nicely decorated, windowed, and not too crowded. Seated within 5 minutes, even without a reservation. Carlos was our kind, patient server. He offered water and drinks immediately. My first choice, The Cucumber Reviver was not available so i chose a Pacific Thyme mocktail: an essentially, flavorless, way too icy, and over-sparkling-watered beverage. Not recommended. While waiting for our Lunch Duo choices, Carlos offered fresh, warm, crusty sourdough bread with spiced olive oil. Excellent! My Lunch Duo choices were terrific too: Began with a steamy cup of Dakota Smashed Pea and Parley soup with carrots, onions, and savory herbs. Finished with a half bowl of fresh Thai Crunch Salad with cilantro, grilled chicken, peanuts and wonton pieces. Highly recommended options! All in all, CPK's food is reasonably priced and good. The Mocktail menu needs work though.

    California Club pizza
    Yang C.

    Was at the mall with the family and checked in with the host and hostess and they said a table is being cleared that we could use so I was happy since the mall was really busy on this Saturday night. The ambiance was nice and it was pretty clean although we did hear this weird alarm going off in the kitchen area a few times. Now let's get to the main attraction - the food! First of all the free bread and olive oil they start you off with is absolutely amazing. It's super crunchy on the outside and super soft and moist and chewy on the inside. This alone is enough for a visit. I got the Banh Mi Bowl since I'm a health nut and it was visually stunning with an array of colors because of the veg. However the taste could have been better. The dressing needed more sweetness and the salad needed more juice - maybe trying adding some tomatoes or something? Also it says it comes with sesame seed but I didn't see any. We also got pizzas since it's in the name right? It's what they're famous for right? Lol at least that's what my wife insisted. My boy got the mushroom pepperoni sausage pizza and wife got the California club pizza. Both were just ok. Again the dough stole the show! Or maybe I'm just a carb lover secretly and shamefully lol. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and our waiter was also solid. Thanks CPK - we'll be back to try some other stuff and enjoy more of your yummy bread haha. Chao!

    I've been a fan of CPK for many years. Typically, I order the thin crust with Pepperoni and Basil. We do like a few of their appetizers. and of course we have to order a drink or two. We were out finishing up our last few gifts before the holiday season. We devoured our pizza and are looking forward to coming back!

    Horrible customer service and mediocre food. The last two times we've visited this location we've had horrible service. Tonight we went in and ordered two chicken picattas with shrimp. My mom pointed out to the server that she had less shrimp than me and he brought the manager over, a short white dude, who clearly shouldn't be working in a customer facing role as he's extremely ignorant and rude. Manager says "that's enough shrimp. Don't want them? I'll eat em" This combined with the mediocre pasta that tastes like it's straight out of a bag and the sauce with no flavour have ensured I'll never be back to this location again. I've given them several visits and they just get worse and worse while raising prices. Avoid this and just eat somewhere else

Mostly a carry out crowd here. We were the only ones inside during the hour. It felt a bit like we were being watched and observed the entire meal, since we were the only ones. We ordered the chicken shawarma with hummus instead of rice, a chicken kafta with hummus instead of rice, a small fattoush and a large fattoush salads without pita. Both dinners come with lentil soup. The salad was refreshing and flavorful. I liked the dressing. More lettuce and less cucumber would have been better for me. Still quite enjoyable. The pickled veggies were so yummy. Nicely pickling and seasoning to it. Not too tart and super flavorful. Owners are both friendly, attentive and accommodating too. Their kids are in the shop hanging out. The chicken shawarma meat was a bit dry. The owner said it was dry since it was the inside and end of one shawarma on the spit. They change it every 4 hours or so. The chicken shawarma had nice flavor to it. The chicken kafta meat was moist and pretty good, flavors were quite subtle. Both meats were good with their garlic sauce and hummus. Their hummus is so smooth. Service and food were both pretty good.

My boyfriend got the beef shawarma sandwich special for $5.99. Thanks to Susan M. for the heads up on the special! They have a small seating area but we did takeout due to coronavirus. They make everything fresh to order, as another reviewer noted, and they had beef and chicken roasting on the spits when we walked in. You get to choose a can of soda from the fridge, I got a Sunkist and my boyfriend got Pepsi. Overall you can't beat this deal, and the sandwich was super delicious to boot; it reminded me of La Saj's, down the street. I definitely will be back at some point on a Tuesday or Wednesday sometime to get more shawarma.

We forgot to get on the wait list early but it wasn't too long of a wait. The restaurant is bright and airy which makes it a pleasant atmosphere. They had their Seasonal Summer Menu available so we ordered from that. I got the Million Dollar Breakfast Sandwich and hubby got the Chipotle Steak and Queso Hash. We also both got regular coffee. They offer both regular and vanilla flavored creamer for their coffee. I appreciate that because I love vanilla flavoring. The coffee was really good - smooth and flavorful without being bitter. My sandwich was also packed with flavors...their signature Million Dollar Bacon, sausage, egg (any style you want!), Gruyère cheese, hot honey, and greens - all on an English muffin. This was so good! The honey was not too spicy which made it the perfect addition of sweet and heat to the savory sandwich. Hubby really liked his dish as well. This was a complete 180 from our last visit. Don't sleep on this special menu! We also had a great server - her mom works there as well and they made a great team together!

The food was fresh, hot, and beautifully plated -- fluffy pancakes topped with fruit and powdered sugar, a hearty breakfast bowl/hash with perfectly cooked eggs, and a delicious avocado toast situation that hit the spot. The sweet bites we tried were also amazing (light, warm, and not overly greasy). Drinks were great too -- super refreshing and the iced coffee was creamy and indulgent. Service was excellent: friendly, attentive, and fast without feeling rushed. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and had that bright brunch vibe that makes you want to stay a while. Highly recommend -- 5 stars!
