I honestly don't understand all the 5-star Yelp reviews for this restaurant. After reading so many…read moreglowing reviews, we went in with high expectations and were thoroughly disappointed. The first red flag was walking into the restaurant on a Friday night and seeing only two other tables occupied and a couple sitting at the bar. The restaurant felt strangely quiet and lacked any real energy or atmosphere. That should have been our cue to turn around. We came for the first night of Restaurant Week, with a 6:30 PM reservation, and were already told that one of the prix fixe menu items, the salt fish fritters was unavailable. On the very first night. I ended up ordering the watermelon skewers instead, which were sad-looking and underwhelming. My sea bass was decent, but the pilaf was way too salty. My boyfriend ordered the lamb chops, which he described as anemic, served on a bed of mushy, tasteless rice with overly salty broccolini. For dessert, we ordered the regular-menu Burnt Basque cheesecake, and it was quite possibly the most tasteless cheesecake I've ever had. It didn't even taste like cheesecake, it was more like an egg custard. Ironically, the special bread pudding they whipped up for Restaurant Week was much tastier than the Burnt Basque cheesecake, although the outer edges of the bread pudding were burnt and hard. And then there was the service. Terrible. This was a three-course dinner that took two full hours to complete. The server never once came over to ask how the dishes tasted, and we had to ask for our water glasses to be refilled. By the end, we couldn't wait to get out of there. Overall, the food was subpar, the service was painfully slow, and the entire experience was frustrating from beginning to end. Whatever everyone else is raving about, we certainly didn't experience it. Needless to say, we won't be returning.

The food is always solid and more options than their big competitor. Daughter gets the nachos, with chips served on the side. I get the bowl with Chalula chicken and spicy queso. Mouth on fire, but oh SO GOOD. A bit of a pain getting out to head back South, but worth the visit.

They mention all the deals and things that are included and every remind you of the rewards. I feel like a lot of places don't remind you to scan rewards on purpose to where you miss out of free stuff. Two lovely ladies checked us out and they made sure we were well taken care of. Thank you! The place was also extremely clean. People were cleaning tables even after we got there. Now the food, it was delicious and fresh. They ran out of queso when I got there but literally right when i asked for it, a new fresh batch came in and wow is their queso top notch. This place beats all the other bowl places in the valley for the quality you truly can taste.

If you order a drink, you are given a cup to fill up on your own, which I liked. I went with an Arnold Palmer with Iced Green Tea so I could make it exactly like I like it! There is limited seating but we found a booth no problem during a busy weekday lunch hour. My lunch date / business colleague enjoyed his Chicken Avocado Quinoa bowl and I enjoyed my Greek Salad with Salmon. Portions are pretty large and neither of us finished! Prices are reasonable. I believe they do a solid takeout and catering business and would definitely return for breakfast or lunch or to takeout / cater. Thanks CG!

My wife is from Boston and I'm from San Francisco, we moved here from New Zealand and truly appreciate and enjoy fresh, well-prepared seafood Chula has certainly filled that bill! We went there this evening for a casual early Friday dinner. If you've been there before you know that guests stood in line in front of the refrigerated counter showcasing their fresh seafood selections and placed your order at the end of the counter - if you had guests, if you were like me, I firmly advised them to know what they wanted when we hit the order counter. This evening was entirely different; I arrived before my wife and was greeted by a host from a stand halfway between the front door and the refrigerated case. Tiffany greeted me and asked how many in my party and said she would seat me. I asked, don't we order at the counter? She said, no, tonight is the first night we are trying full table service. What a great change! Chelsea was our server, we ordered drinks and had time to look at the menu. Far more relaxing! Arriving just before 5 pm, we enjoyed happy hour prices for our beverages, and I ordered fresh northwest coast oysters as an appetizer at $1 less per oyster during happy hour. They were fantastic, tasting of the briny pacific ocean, plump and properly served with mignonette. The servers and assistants were all attentive and each advised that table service was new, so they were testing it. Our dinners were well prepared and delicious, I had one of the best salmon filets I've been served, grilled to perfection and served with my request for lemon butter only. When presented the check, I asked about inputting my phone number as a regular we've been earning points. The server was able to input my number at the table and we received a discount on top of it. I certainly hope Chula continues with the table service as it was far more relaxing and less hectic than standing in line. Either way, the seafood has always been exceptional - kudos to the chefs. BTW - Tiffany is the manager and touched tables and showed that she cares; Sorry for the long review but it was such a service change I want everyone to know. We will be back!

Inside, the vibe is excellent and cleaner than my search history. Contrary to some of the other reviews I've read, my service was incredibly fast and efficient. To be fair, we walked in well after the lunch rush, but the staff was still totally on top of it. As for the food, my friends ordered The Club and The Grinder, and both absolutely loved them. I went with the Moroccan Turkey, and oh my god, I loved everything about it. The standout players were definitely the Greek yogurt sauce and that red wine vinaigrette. Absolutely incredible flavor combo. That said... unless my friends and I have suddenly hit a massive growth spurt, the portions could definitely be a bit larger for what you're paying. We're in Scottsdale, not a micro-portion tasting menu in Paris. Feed us, ChopShop! The real plot twist of the meal was the BBQ potato chips. I thought they were absolute perfection. However, they caused a full-on culinary debate in our group. They lean pretty sweet and have this distinct Indian-spice vibe going on. If you're expecting standard backyard-barbecue Lays, you're going to be confused. Half the table was questioning their entire existence, while I was busy hoarding the bag. Come for the great food and healthy atmosphere, just maybe grab a snack beforehand if you're starving--and prepare your palate for the chip controversy.

So basically, they feature soup and it comes to them either frozen or in a package. I could've bought a can of something at the grocery store next door for less than half that price and way better. At $10 a bowl, I asked if they could exchange it for vegetable soup. After 3 of the workers conferred, they allowed the exchange. That soup was better, still not great, but now I'm aware they don't make their soups fresh. My friend got a turkey sandwich. Not a lot of meat and said it was bland.
