    It's been years since I've been to California Chicken Cafe. I use to frequent the Santa Monica location always getting the same chicken wrap. This location opened at 10:45a. I arrived at 10:35, expecting to wait. As I was about to plug the meter, Maria R. Greeted me. She said she could take my order. I was excited. I couldn't remember what wrap i used to get. She was so helpful and told me the popular wrap was the Melrose wrap. I ordered that and the roasted potatoes. She told me I could wait in my car. My order was ready in 5 minutes. She delivered it to my car with a smile. I will be back to this location! Maria R. You're appreciated!

    Chicken tray. Not good!

    I really wanted to like this place. We've had food delivered to my office two years in a row, most recently this past December right before the Christmas holiday. One of our vendors arranged the catering, which was great -- but this review is strictly about the food itself. Both years, the same items were sent. The large catering-style pasta with lettuce and avocado was excellent -- a solid 10/10. The side dish with potatoes, onions, and sweet potatoes was also a 10/10. No complaints there at all. However, this restaurant does have "chicken" in its name, and unfortunately the chicken was the biggest letdown. The main dish was a full tray of chicken drumsticks and thighs and I'd rate it a 2/10. While the seasoning was okay, many pieces were either overly dry, undercooked to the point of being borderline raw, or had excessive gristle. Overall, it was not enjoyable. Based on this experience, I would definitely not order the chicken from here again.

    Melrose Wrap
    Katie S.

    Wow! These wraps are fresh, delicious, healthy, and reasonably priced! It was a super easy drive up location & it did not disappoint! I also go a medium side of the potato's which were a perfect portion & complimented my wrap perfectly. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fast, on the go lunch!

    Green Goddess Salad

    Love their salad! Portion is good amount for the price. I usually get their Green Goddess Salad with chicken with their complementary 1000 island dressings. Their chicken is soft and tender and delicious! But this goddess salad has everything in it from spinach, purple cabbage, radish, cucumber, sprouts, lemon, and sweet avocado. It also came with sourdough croutons for crunchy topping. It is easy to make it into vegan too if you eliminate the chicken then it could be a vegan salad. But I like their green goddess dressing because it has a refreshing taste that goes along well with the different types of salads in that dish. Service was good and online ordering was easy and we got our foods on time for our lunch break. Until next order!

    Primavera wrap with Ranch dressing, delish!!
    Mia K.

    Delicious food that's also healthy. I usually buy their wraps, whichever has chicken and avocado in it. Catered lunch at work. Salads are great! Ranch dressing - wonderful buttermilk flavor Green Goddess dressing - lovely creamy cilantro, though a bit heavy Grilled chicken - moist and delicious, no sauce needed for me! Sides - The vegetable rice is amazing! I don't know what the secret spices or ingredients are, but meatless rice should not be this tasty. Chocolate chip cookie and Kettle chips are the unhealthy but still appreciated.

    I was driving in Culver City and saw this, is so cool. No driver inside. Robo taxi, I wonder how much it cost then a Uber ?

    Wow, I was craving a delicious salad and I thought about this place when I used to live in Santa Monica, I lived 8 blocks away from the beach and my roommates always come here to pick up dinner once a week. He usually get a whole chicken and the Chinese chicken salad. We never get sick of it, is always the same consistency. The chicken was moist and juicy, the salad was delicious with the mandarin oranges made it fresh and tasty, with the crispy wonton strips, and the dressing, there's some chopped almond nuts and pasta noodles, and lots of white meat chicken pieces, it all comes together. Is on the corner of La Grange and Westwood Blvd., is not a sit in restaurant but kinda like a drive thru. They have benches for you to sit and wait for your order. There's also like a parking for the pick up orders on the street. Is really convenient. The service was quick, the employees are friendly and helpful. I almost ate the whole box, that's how good it was. If I'm in Westwood again, I would definitely come back and if you guys want good fast order food, this place is a great spot. Thanks guys for a great service.

    wanted something a little healthier for breakfast so decided to get a salad! I haven't been to a CCC in a while so I wanted to stop by I went a few minutes after opening, and there were already people waiting for their orders. I got out of my car to order in front of the store and then went back to my car where they handed me my order later on service was super efficient, friendly and fast! the person taking my order was really nice and let me know they give 2 sauces per order (one 4 oz and one 2oz). I decided to try a different sauce than what the salad came with but unfortunately they put the same sauce in it. it was still good so no complaints but I wanted to try the green goddess dressing overall, a good experience! price point is pretty fair given the portion and quality of ingredients. I would def come back here for a yummy filling salad!

    I've been eating at this location for a long time now. The employees are friendly and helpful and the food is always fresh. And on top of all that, the manager is a complete sweetheart. They all know me by my nick-name Butch.

    Chinese Chicken Salad
    Kimberly M.

    This is the only place in Los Angeles to get a proper Chinese Chicken Salad. It's full with mandarins, green onions, and one thing no other CCS has: pasta noodles which makes it more than just a salad in makes it a complete meal. The one thing I would change though is the hard noodles. I wish they gave crispy fried wonton crisps instead of those hard gum stabbing noodles. Other wise the Asian dressing is the perfect topping to and delicious fulfilling meal.

    I haven't been here since pre-covid so we were surprised to learn that its become take out only. When we approached the store a worker kindly explained how the set up worked. Maria was super nice and genuine helping us as we figured out our order. The food (as always!!!) was so fresh and scrumptious. I don't come up to this area a lot since we moved out of state but CCC is a must in my opinion. Fresh food and fabulous customer service is/was chef's kiss.

    Will you be bringing back the fruit punch, it's my favorite?

    Are the plastic bags that hold the broccoli soup BPA (bisphenol A) free? This chemical can leach out of the plastic and into the soup.

Came for lunch one day, and we tried the brand new hot honey chicken plate that they just released and it was SO GOOD. I was not expecting it to be that fire but I highly recommend getting this while you can!!

I added spinach for extra green and I think it would be even better if you added broccoli too. Pretty expensive though ($18ish) which is sad but as expected from sweetgreen.

They have metal tables and chairs with loud speakers blasting music that echoes throughout the space. Add in loud crowds and kids dropping utensils, and it makes the whole environment pretty unpleasant. As for the food, we ordered the garlic knots, a croissant, the hanger steak, the peach and hot honey pizza, and the wood-fired vanilla bean pound cake for dessert. We covered a good amount of their key items. The main takeaway is that while everything is cooked well, but the dishes really lack flavor. I dine out to get flavors that are not easily made at home, and unfortunately, I did not find them here. The food lacks depth, and frankly, it needs salt to make it stand out. The pizza dough is actually really well prepped, easily as good as Pizzeria Sei, which is the best pizza place in LA, period. But again, it just lacks flavor. Also, as a small side note, there is a 4% employee health insurance surcharge added to the final bill. I probably just missed it listed on the menu somewhere, but oh well. Overall, it is a decent place, but I would not go out of my way to come back here.
