    I have been eating at California Chicken Cafe whenever I am near LA area after a return back to LAX or near downtown before a game and forget to post how much we love this place. Excellent rotisserie chicken tender tasty with the side of broccoli pasta and mash with gravy hits the spot! I wish they had these in OC as this would be my go to on dinner nights for something quick yet homemade tasting.

    Melrose Wrap

    It was my first time trying wraps from Calif Chicken Cafe and I am impressed! I tried their Melrose wrap recently which I heard is one of the most popular. I instantly could tell why this is such a beloved wrap. It's huge in both size and flavor. It's packed with chicken, avocado, white cheddar cheese, greens, onions and tomatoes. It's smothered with mayo inside but it is also accompanied with Italian dressing. With its large size, the wrap easily was enough for two meals! I was full after just eating half. I was definitely happy and content. Flavor-wise everything on point. I loved the tender chicken plus fresh greens and avocado. Calif Chicken Cafe makes some awesome wraps and I can't wait to try their other wraps soon!

    So glad more and more CCCs are opening South of LA. Used to frequent them in West LA, and now there's one closer to me. Randomly driving around El Segundo when we found this CCC location. Easy parking in a nice clean plaza with multiple food options. While there's outside seating, this location feels more like it's intended to be a to-go, quick pick up option. Everything, except the kitchen is basically done outside. Workers take your orders outside and will bring it to you when ready. The food quality is still very good compared to other CCC locations. It's fresh, healthy, and an excellent option any time of day. Our favorite go-to item is the Chinese chicken salad, dressing on the side. They're dressing isn't your typical "Asian" dressing. It's a mix of sweet, nutty, and fresh. Try it for yourself, you won't regret it. Half chicken or all dark meat is great if you just wanted chicken. Juicy and flavorful chicken. The skin can be very salty sometimes, but good with the chicken meat The wraps are good as well, Caesar, Chinese chicken. All are good options. For sides, my two favorites are the pasta salad and the potatoes. The potatoes are well seasoned, and the pasta salad is my "cheat" dish. Pasta, chicken, green onions, tossed in thousand island dressing. Yum! Glad there's one somewhat closer to me now without having to drive up to LA.

    CCC to go

    The Baseline: For California Chicken Cafe the chicken must be cooked well, taste awesome, the side of roasted potatoes must be savory, the additional items must be fresh, and the service must stand up to expectations. Food: The food at CCC is good. Got the vegetable soup which is tasty. Also the Chinese Chicken salad with dressing on the side. I had to come back to pick up the dressing which was not included in my food order. Service: I came and got my dressing that was left off my order. Travis came out and made it right. Atmosphere: They have tables and chairs out front now.

    I wanted to give 3.5 stars, but not possible. I really love my Chinese Chicken Salad from this place. Always fresh. The girls that run out my order are always so great (I tip them $5 every time)! But...today and two orders ago, I did not get my extra pasta and two orders ago I didn't get my extra white meat chicken. I spilt the salads into two and found that works well when I get my salad. Ask of the Kitchen: PLEASE check the order you are filling. I became lax because I trusted things were right so my fault there. However, when it's on the receipt, someone should be double checking. I'm out $6.00 + tax. :(

    I first found out about Calif Chicken Cafe during my college days. There was a location not far from my University. Shout out to all the Matadors!!! Let's jump right into review. What did I have - Kids meal - $6 - 2 chicken legs, cookie or drink of your choice - 10/10, chicken is juicy and flavorful Roasted potatoes -$3.50 - Red potatoes and sweet potatoes sautéed w/ onions & spices. (vegan) - 10/10 Poppi Strawberry Lime soda - $3 I have frequent Calif Chicken Cafe in Northridge, Westwood, & now El Segundo. Since COVID, I saw a transition to pick-up only. I am happy the El Segundo location offers outdoor seating. There are 3 online order pick-up parking spots at the entrance #nice. This location is in a busy food/shopping mall area in El Segundo. You can place an order online via their website or in-person. Both are efficient. Curbside pick-up is fast and friendly. Food is made to order. Delicious! Reasonably price. Friendly service. Nothing negative to report here. I'll be back again.

    My friend recommended this place and I decided to go with the California Chicken Salad. I was pleasantly surprised when my friend showed up with this big boy in hand! California Chicken Salad 5/5: The portions are huge and it was a great price. There was a very nice balance of everything; filling and healthy! Sauces were plentiful and brought harmony to the entire salad. Would 100% come back for this!

    Mashed Potatoes and gravy

    Delicious food and even better service. We ordered online and they have a whole set-up for pick up that just makes everything so easy! Definitely a good choice during the lunch rush.

    Get the roasted potatoes !!! Chicken done so well
    Vu N.

    Calif chicken cafe has been on my list. Was killing time near lax and found one near by. Excellent. So good. Chicken was perfect. Moist. Flavorful. And priced right. Potatoes as a side is a must get. Done so well. Flavor was on point. No indoor seating but plenty of outside seating. Restroom are inside. Plenty of parking and Gabby was super nice helping me

    Take out means tossing salads yourself

My order: * The Farm Club: You really can't go wrong with this one. The pickled red onions and herb aioli give it such a nice tang compared to a standard club sandwich. The turkey was high-quality and the bread held up perfectly. * Spicy Curried Couscous: I had to grab a side of their signature couscous, and it didn't disappoint. It has that signature roasted cauliflower and just the right amount of spice to balance out the sandwich. It's easily one of the best sides on their menu. The highlight of this visit was definitely sitting outside (inside is ok, a bit noisy and crowded). The patio area is clean, spacious, and perfect for catching some sun while you eat but most tables are shaded by umbrellas. Even though it's right off PCH, it's a great spot to relax and enjoy the El Segundo breeze. A couple Tips: * Parking: The plaza can get a little tight during the peak lunch hour, so give yourself a few extra minutes or try to arrive just before the 12:00 PM rush. * Ordering: If you're in a hurry, their mobile pickup is always super seamless at this location and can help you get in and out or you can take your food and eat in the park like courtyard area. I'll definitely be back next time I'm craving a solid sandwich and some fresh air!

Two of us ordered the Buddha vegan bowl (9/10; quinoa was fluffy, tofu was tasty but a little firm for me, everything else about it was fresh and well-done. The mushroom serving was my favorite part.) My friend ordered the Beef Macro bowl (9/10: beef was the best part and everything else was good. The wild rice was tender; but it tastes "healthy"). My last friend ordered the salmon bowl (9/10: all of us raved about the salmon. Had the same wild rice. I liked it but my friend said it was too soft for her. The rest of the items that came with it were similar and tasty). Before I left, Molly helped me order a mushroom reishi hot chocolate drink. Molly was so sweet and helpful. She recommended the homemade almond milk. (8/10). The ambiance was warm and cozy. I loved the multi-level structure. Therefore, the name, "The Hive".

The atmosphere is sort of upscale cafeteria, and it's definitely great to sit on the patio on warm day. And many of the food items are very tasty, especially the breakfast/brunch items. The place they falter is a desire to add creative ingredients to places they don't need to be. The turkey burger is good, but has rosemary in it--not sure it's a great flavor profile. The tuna salad has another herb (tarragon?) that throws the flavor off. The chicken salad sandwich has picked carrots and jalapeños, which would be fine on the side, but annoying inside the sandwich. The grilled chicken they use on salads is covered in bland red sauce, makes salads unappealing. And the biggest creative debacle: The so-called caesar salad has spinach, carrots, corn, tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, and avocado, all in a balsamic vinaigrette. Even if you like it, THAT'S NOT A CAESAR SALAD. Sometimes chefs can't help themselves from gilding the lily.
