the bowl!!! it's so good.
Christine V.

I love this place! My husband loves this place! Finally an easy, healthy, fresh option we both like. You choose your base from salad, rice or pita and then they layer on chickpeas in a tomato broth sauce, grilled chicken, a different salad of cucumbers and mint with a lemony dressing and more lettuce and pickled onions and peppers with all the delicious dressing sauces and even hot sauce if you need. Service with a smile and super friendly. A few outdoor tables and some seating inside. Clean and easy to grab and go too. I only wish they had real cutlery for eat in and didn't rely on single use plastic. A girl can dream!

Counter and menu

This small cafe in Ocean Beach sells big flavor food bowls! A Mediterranean chicken speciality food spot with choices of a bowl or a pita sandwich plate. Delicious seasoning on the chicken and chick peas! You pick your ingredients and plate choices! Dressings are special too! The cucumber salad is well made...Love a pickled onion! Counter service is friendly and accommodating. The cafe is sparse and has outside tables. Plenty of street parking and a free lot behind the building. A perfect serving for a full meal and its picnic ready for the beach or the park!

CYO Bowl

I saw this place on tiktok a while back and finally decided to try it out because of how full the bowls looked. I got a CYO with rice, chicken, and all the toppings! It was super flavorful and I love that you can add as many toppings at no extra charge. I ordered online and it was ready in 10 minutes! I went on a Monday morning around 11:20 so right after they opened and there was plenty of street parking in front. There's a couple tables outside to sit at but also inside.

I'm a big fan of assembly line style quick and easy meals such as chipotle and cava so I knew I had to check out Chicken Over Rice. The overall cuisine is closer to Mediterranean not so much Mexican flavors. They are a no frills shop as they only offer chicken in 3 different flavors. The food itself tastes great, very fresh and clean ingredients. Overall, a satisfying and healthy meal for me. Street parking is abundant and they have seating inside. I'll have to knock down the rating 1 star just because compared to CAVA and chipotle the options here are quite limited (chicken being the only protein) which is completely fine if you just want chicken. Also I think $17 is quite the hefty price for one bowl HOWEVER, they do really give bigger portions here so at least that makes me feel better about spending almost $20 on a bowl. This is located in Ocean beach, a neighborhood in San Diego that doesn't have too many options so this will be the best next thing to getting chipotle and cava. I think if I lived here I would come quite often but not worth it in my opinion to drive all the way here.

The food was healthy and delicious!! Definitely coming back! Gabriela behind the front desk provided incredible service!!

Bowl

I got the standard chicken over rice bowl. It was good, but nothing super special. The portion of the $18 bowl was absolutely massive -- I was only about to finish about 1/3 of it. Would be nice to have a smaller & cheaper option as well.

YUMMMMMMMM! I literally crave this bowl so much. The perfectly cooked chickpeas in this silky, rich and smooth tomato sauce/broth, the tasty char-grilled chicken, and all the delicious garlic, tzatziki and hot sauces and condiments come together like a symphony in your mouth. I just say yes to all the things. The staff are always so friendly and generous, and they have casual seating inside and out. I'm always satisfied without feeling hungry or stuffed. It definitely feels like homemade food made with love and soul! Wish they had one closer to me but I'll happily drive for it!

Chicken over rice bowl!

Everything about this place was great. The gentleman working went above and beyond. Welcoming us as soon as we walked in the door. It's a smaller space but clean and has tables and chairs inside and out. The food was incredible! Everything was fresh and flavorful. For the price you get a TON of food. They really load up the bowl and it's very satisfying. I had plenty leftover for another meal. We will be returning!

I love this place and eat here whenever I can. I always get the spicy garbanzos and spicy chicken. And then I have them put all the things on top. The lady at the counter is very nice and very helpful. They have nice chill music playing in the background and you can have a window seat to watch cars driving by. What more could you ask for??

Rice bowl with spicy Chicken & everything on it
Morgan L.

I've always seen this place at the farmers market and heard really good things about it, and it totally lived up to the hype! Everything tasted so fresh and the service was quick, easy, and friendly! It was the perfect grab and go before heading to the beach and will definitely start making this one of my common stops now!

Chicken Over Rice
Kristelle B.

Tried this place after reading reviews that they do hefty servings and we weren't disappointed! First of all, the space is very clean and straightforward. They have both indoor and outdoor seatings. The concept is simple, you just choose which base you want among rice, pita, or salad. A bowl costs about $15 and the serving was indeed plenty! All the ingredients were really fresh and flavorful. The sauces are very delicious as well. This meal didn't leave us feeling heavy either. Amazing spot and worth checking out! We will be back.

Danielle M.

Chicken over Rice is a pretty simple concept but executed very well. I really enjoyed the flavorful chicken and all of the toppings on the bowl. It makes for a tasty and pretty healthy dinner. I do wish I knew they also offer spicy chicken but it isn't on their menu nor offered when ordering. I guess it's a secret menu ingredient. I saw it after she had already started making my bowl.

Catie M.

This place is awesome! A lot like CAVA/Chipotle in terms of assembly style, but they do not skimp on portions and you can taste the quality. This bowl can easily fill up 2 people which makes the $17 price feel a bit less daunting. Perfect for a beach day lunch.

My daughter and I ordered Salt n Pepper Chicken Wings, Fried Pork & Veggie Dumplings and the Cream Cheese Wontons. I only managed to snap a photo of the chicken before realizing we devoured the dumplings and wontons so quickly. The Dumplings with the sauce was excellent. The Cream Cheese Wontons with the sweet n sour sauce amazing. The Salt n Pepper Chicken Wings was very very yummy. It's about the crunch and flavor on the skin. The chicken was superb. This meal did not stand a chance with me and my daughter. We ordered to go so we didn't dine in, but there is seating to dine in. It's a small, but cute Chinese Spot. The service was nice and our food was made quickly.

The shop is small, bright, and no-frills, with a few high-top tables and a super easy-to-read menu. While I pretended to consider my options (as if I wasn't ordering hot and sour soup no matter what), the cashier was incredibly friendly and did not make me feel rushed at all. When my order came out, the bag looked oddly tall. I broke it open to find not one, but two bags of crispy wonton strips. I've never had a restaurant include them with hot and sour soup before, so this was a nice surprise. They were the perfect crunchy sidekick, and I couldn't help finishing them off as a finger food snack after the soup. The soup itself was flavorful and very comforting. Then came the plot twist. As I was leaving, they handed me an extra entrée the kitchen had apparently made by mistake. Since it couldn't be returned, they gave it to me. I passed it along to a friend, who unexpectedly won lunch for the next day. I came for soup and left with bonus snacks, a free meal (for my friend), and a huge smile. Funny how a quick soup run turned into the highlight of my day.

LIBERTY WING CO @ LIBERTY STATION SAN DIEGO…read more I'm not a huge wings person, but this place actually changed my mind. I was so excited to try this spot out as well as going to Liberty Station in General. It's such an incredible spot that's right next to the airport, and has loads of different foods, cuisines, you name it all! Parking is available for street or in a lot, thankfully it's free and available. It can however get super packed on weekends. I came on a Tuesday, and it was pretty busy. Long lines but I made my way here. The staff was friendly and kind. I decided to get a convo, that included 6 count wings (lemon pepper), and a choice of tater tot's or fries, as well as any fountain drink. I got tater tots and a strawberry lemonade. The total came out to about $18. The wait was about 15 minutes so we got seated at a couple of high chairs available - everyone was eating from different spots and it was incredible to walk by the other stations. Once we got the food, it was SMOKIN hot! You can see the heat, it looks amazing. The flavor was there, it was crispy, everything about these wings were incredible. I really loved how much sauce there was that it would never be dry. Overall, l'd definitely come back to this spot - it's definitely a try if you're at Liberty Station!

Overpriced. I did a Liberty burger (basically a fried chicken sandwich) with fries and drink. $14…read more Thought the sandwich size was a bit undersized. They threw in a generous amount of fries which were good.

Love this place in general. Good vibes, good service, decent prices…read more However- I ordered their tater tots for the first time and was shocked at how small the order was. It was $8 and only had 11 individual tots. I asked about it because it looked like maybe it was a happy hour size or something. They brought a 2nd serving. Still- 22 tots for $8 is pretty overpriced.

The bartenders were friendly and made a great whiskey sour. Out of nowhere the younger guy sitting next to me turned toward me and just randomly bit me hard in the arm! I told the staff immediately. I was rightfully upset and it seemed like they believed me because the guy that did it wasn't exactly denying it. And his friends were acting dumb. I was looking at the staff to say or do something and told them to look at their security video if they didn't believe me. I had nice and friendly interactions with the staff while I'd been there so I assumed they'd take it seriously. I also showed the my arm, which showed a bruise from where I was bit. About 10 minutes later the female bartender said "we found it on the video and saw him bite you." At that point I thought they would've kicked the group out of the bar but they didn't, which was disappointing. It was nice to be validated and believed in the end but I had been adamant that I had been bit the entire time, and they didn't immediately do much. I had to prove myself. In my opinion, I think they should've taken assault and battery more seriously.
