The restaurant was very cozy and intimate. The staff were all really friendly! The food came out pretty quickly.

Came with a friend on a Sunday and it was quite busy unexpectedly but we snagged a seat before it got too crowded. We split the baklava cheesecake, which was very creamy and rich (def share a slice). It has a nutty crust and pistachio on top, which adds a unique flavor. The other desserts looked yummy too, and their food also looks good! The seats are comfy near the front and service is minimal -- water is self serve. I saw there's a fireplace too which is cool. There was great natural lighting inside so a good spot to sit for a while and catch up with someone or read/get work done.

Rooster & Rice is a chain with multiple locations serving up Khao Mun Gai (or Thai style chicken…read morerice), but my most recent order with them really fell flat. I ordered "The Original" with jasmine chicken rice, extra cilantro, cucumber, chicken skin (love that those are free add-ons), and an egg, and while the bowl was fine, all of the flavors felt like they could've been amped up several notches as everything leaned pretty bland and one note. I even swapped in the ginger scallion sauce, usually my favorite with Hainanese chicken, but it still fell flat and didn't bring the dish together the way I'd hoped. The dark meat was okay, if under-seasoned, but the breast meat was honestly pretty rough as it was extremely dry to the point where I was chasing each bite with water just to get it down. I added the chicken spring rolls as well, which were poorly wrapped and fell apart after a single bite, and they used the same overcooked white meat, making them basically inedible. If this is the standard for their white meat, I really think they should either stick to dark meat or make it clear that dark meat is an option without an upcharge. That said, my order was ready right when I expected it to be, pickup was smooth, and the staff were very nice and friendly, which keeps this from dropping lower in rating as I'm likewise hoping this was just an off night.

You can see from the factory-line production how well loved they are by groups, but at scale that somehow makes the presentation seem more mundane. Nicer to think it was prepared just for you. They also have a fine selection of partner kitchens whose food they offer (soupchu!).

It makes a noticeable difference in the Awake or Vibrant salads. They've also introduced new, non-salad items to their menu: -Beef Bolognese: Flavorful, great portion, good texture. -Chicken Bone Broth Soup: Tasty 16 oz portion, but I was expecting a lot more filling inside. There was very little actual chicken and vegetables in this. It was mostly broth. The items are always well wrapped for takeout, though their brown bag doesn't have handles, so you should bring your own to drop the paper bag into. Also note that they charge extra for utensils.

I really like their salads and grain bowls, but the pricing is insane for what you get. I'm not a…read morecheap person but the Caesar grain bowl with a couple pieces of added chicken is like $32! That's just crazy to me considering it's farro and quinoa with some Caesar dressing and a couple pieces of reheated breaded chicken. That can be made in bulk cost for likely $10-15 so you are paying a serious premium here. Considering they do a lot of volume it's a rip off. I would give 5 stars if chicken or protein came INCLUDED in the salad/grain bowl, but as it stands you're better off heating up your own frozen chicken cutlets at home after buying their salad/bowl. You'll save like $12 after tax. I'm not usually one to comment about the price of things like this, but genuinely this is nearly double the price of Sweetgreen or MIXT for virtually the same product.
