Really great food and service!! My Go To Spot!! I love it here. Friendly staff and always fast and fun.

I am so impressed with the service for our recent work lunch! We ordered over 15 items, and everything was perfectly organized, labeled with names, and completely accurate. The manager, Maria, went above and beyond by personally delivering our order right to my car. The entire team is incredibly friendly and hardworking. The food was delicious, and the drive-up service is impressively fast and efficient, even for large orders. Highly recommended!Thank you all read more

Calif Chicken Cafe never disappoints!!Love the food here. We generally get the salads as a good and healthy treat. Chinese Chicken Salad is amazing a must try. read more

I've been wanting to try California Chicken Cafe for a while, and thanks to an UberEats promotion, I finally placed an order. I'm glad I did, because the food was generally excellent! I ordered the 1/4 Chicken white meat chicken and the Chinese Chicken Salad. The rotisserie chicken was perfectly cooked -- incredibly juicy and seasoned well with a lovely herbal flavor. The Chinese Chicken Salad was also a standout. It was packed with fresh ingredients like almonds, mandarin oranges, crunchy noodles, pasta, and crisp vegetables all tied together by a delicious dressing. I also appreciated the nice touch of a complimentary chicken included with the order, which was a pleasant surprise. The packaging was great, arriving in a nice bag securely sealed with a zip tie. Aside from the food, I was actually drawn to this business after reading positive threads on Reddit about well they treat their employees. It feels great to support a business with those kinds of values. My only major complaint is that no utensils were provided. Eating a loaded salad without a fork is quite a challenge, so I ended up having to eat it "caveman style" -- good thing I wasn't around anyone at the time! While this was a significant inconvenience, it didn't ruin the meal. I would have have easily given them a 5/5, but forgetting the utensils brings my score down just a bit to a 4/5. Still the food itself is top-tier and I highly recommend it. I look forward to visiting in person soon to try more of their sides! read more

A few months back in Dec 12th at 2:00 pm to be exact i had a job interview in west la and told my coworkers i would pick up food from here for my work shift later on that evening 3-11:30 to be exact. One ordered the chicken salad with the goddess I ordered the veggie wrap with a few subs and another worker ordered cafe ceasar salad And one more order was melrose wrap So first thing first parking was a beast i had a literal confrontation with another person over parking which was so stressful and the parking guy/security guy only intensified the situation but it was over just as fast as it started. After that i was able to get out and make the order for my food. The lady at the window was so kind and helpful she made the experience i had with parking all worth it. I waited about 15 min which wasnt too bad i only made the order there as opposed making it online because of the subs. Now the food was simply amazing. She made sure i had plenty of sauce utensils and ect. Every single solitary bite was so delicious and the food had a very fresh appealing taste. I def recommend calif chicken cafe 10/10 for those that have never been here just plan accordingly as far as parking but the food is worth it. read more

My wife picked up 3 x Chinese chicken salad to go. Opened it at home. Received 2 sauces, chicken crunches In bag, oranges. Dropped all the recipe in one box. Shook the box to mix it all up. Food is outstanding! You can taste the freshness of these salads! Great salad, gives you a sense of eating healthy! Kudos to this place, did not dine. Can't give a 5 star rating since it was only pick up. Definitely come back if I am in the area. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Calif Chicken Cafe - Melrose Wrap - American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Fast service, efficient pick up, delicious and healthy food, kind and happy workers. What more can you want!

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! read more

I go to this take-out on Westwood Blvd. on a monthly basis. I love their Chinese Chicken Salad. The baked chicken & wraps are also tasty. The quality & taste is always reliably fresh. The portions are good. The on-line ordering & pick up service is fast & good. Street parking is available for walk-up ordering. I trust their food to be tasty. read more

Such a shame. Yes...it's been awhile since I've come to this location as I usually pickup from the El Segundo window. But tonight. I convinced the family to go to Westwood where we could dine in. We piled into the car, and sat through the Metro down the street and arrived and got a parking spot in front - only to learn this location has been converted into a large kitchen with only a takeout window to purchase and take out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were told there's an outdoor patio - in the back alley.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Boo on you California Chicken Cafe. Such a shame. read more

It's been a while since I've been back to the Westside and growing up eating at California. Chicken Café was one of my favorite things to do. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's definitely not as good at UCB because they're now takeout only and I really wish that they would reopen up sit down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Part of the takeout only change is that the salads and wraps they no longer pre-mix the dressing into the wraps and salads. And mixing it evenly distributes the dressing into every piece of lettuce, which enhances the flavor of the meal of salt. I would also say that their chicken legs have definitely gotten smaller than these are probably the smallest chicken legs I've ever had in my life. So I would say that California chicken Café is good but no longer great. read more

They have excellent chicken, wraps and sides that are always delicious. My favorite is the Chicken Pasta ! Staff is always nice and gives generous portions. Would highly recommend for lunch or dinner if you're in the area. read more

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. read more

I cannot say enough about the incredible service at CCC Westwood. Maria R. Was fantastic, helpful and so kind. I made a big error on our large order (wrong date) and she corrected it seamlessly. Will absolutely return for the delicious food and top notch service! read more

I order from this location all the time and the service and food is always amazing. Never had anything but good experiences. read more

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! read more

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. read more

In my previous review, I expressed my concern about the take out order not being properly prepared as ordered. I bought this concern and was assured that management was informed of this concern. I recently went back and this time the food and the order was perfect!! Thank You !! read more

When I first started coming to CKC I would only get the Melrose Chicken Wrap. I was surprised by how fresh the wrap was. I received the chicken wings as a sample and I loved them. The wing isn't even my favorite piece of chicken but they were very good. The roasted potatoes and the Chinese Chicken Salad is very good. Thank you Bani for your friendly service and making sure that our order was complete. read more

Perfect for "on the go" as you can order ahead and they will bring it to your car! Don't even have to get out. More places need to do this! All the salads are tasty and huge! Even the side salad is big enough for a meal! They also pack things well. read more

Jennifer was very nice to deal with. she helped me order and gave me a great recommendation.

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. read more

This was a favorite of ours when we lived on the Westside. Appreciate how easy it was to place an order on their website. I waited a few mins on arrival for them to get my order ready. It's all take out and they seem to be dialed in on getting food out quickly. I ordered 1.5 rotisserie chicken, the Asian chicken salad, the soup and various sides. Even after a 30 drive the food was still warm and delicious. read more

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. read more

Everything on the menu is delicious! I really wish they had this chain in the OC. For those who do not live in the area, the drive to get here is worth it. My favorite is the Chinese Chicken Salad (Regular), the Melrose Wrap, and coconut cookie. Ask for a complimentary sauce and a side of Pita bread Drive thru only. Speedy service, too. read more

Ordered the caesar chicken wrap. The wrap itself is very okay! I'm not a big fan of the chicken. It's cold, unseasoned and dry! I also dont like how its huge chunks, the bites are not balanced. Redeeming factors are the pita croutons and the balsamic glaze dressing. Its a must get on the side. read more

This is the best chicken place on the westside. Possibly the best chicken place anywhere! Everything in the menu isn't fresh and amazing tasting. This is a regular stop for us. read more

California Chicken Café is a healthy chicken chain with a small menu, but quality execution. My boyfriend has had it for work prior and enjoyed it, so we decided to pick some up while we were in radius of a location.   This location is off Westwood, relatively close to the UCLA area. NO DINE IN, pick up only. When we arrived, the staff was running around frantically trying to check on and deliver orders with their "drive up" model. It's not drive thru... it's drive up... like you drive up to the curb. We already parked at metered parking nearby, with the initial plan to eat there... but we pivoted for takeout.   After looking at the menu for a while and no staff in distance, we ordered from our phones. There was so much information to put in to create a profile to order. No express option. So annoyingly inconvenient. After ordering, we had to stand around the curb and wait another 20-25 min in this sketch area.   My boyfriend had the Melrose Wrap ($12.25) which comes with chicken, avocado, white cheddar, cheese, greens, tomato, mayo, side Italian dressing. They provide 1 extra complimentary sauce which he opted for the Italian dressing. I had their Green Goddess Salad ($13), cause I'm a goddess, just kidding. It comes with lettuce, spinach, avocado, purple cabbage, radish, cucumber, sprouts, lemon, sourdough crouton, and 4oz green goddess dressing. For my complimentary sauce I got an additional 2oz of that magnificent green goddess dressing. I also added Hot Dark Rotisserie Chicken ($4.50) cause it didn't come with protein as a default.   When we got back, I opened my to-go salad and I was surprised by the quality and stunning presentation of my darling salad. I was like... damn I like it... cause I was soooooo annoyed at this specific location... but I LOVE that salad. The textures are perfect and the flavors were amazing. Everything worked well together. WHAT A GLORIOUS SALAD!!   Okay California Chicken Café, you got me... but next time I'm going to a different location or ordering well in advanced. read more

If you're on the hunt for a dining spot that combines healthy eating with exceptional service, all kidding aside, California Chicken Café is the SPOT! Especially the Westwood location. This place will quickly become your go-to for satisfying and nourishing meals. The menu is a delightful celebration of freshness. Their salads are nothing short of masterpieces--vibrant, crisp, and loaded with fresh ingredients that burst with flavor. I particularly recommend the Chinese chicken salad; it always hit the spot, to the point that I have had this for lunch and dinner on several occasions. Now, let's talk about the rotisserie chicken. It's perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and cooked to perfection. Each bite is juicy and flavorful, making it a fantastic option for a hearty yet healthy meal. Pair it with a side of their roasted potatoes for a well-rounded dish. The wraps are another highlight. Packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor, they cater to various dietary preferences without sacrificing taste. And last, but not least, their customer service. The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they serve. They take the time to offer recommendations and ensure that every guest feels welcomed. It's a refreshing change that enhances the overall dining experience. And we cannot forget about the friendly environment; especially when we live in a world where healthy eating often feels like a compromise, California Chicken Café in Westwood proves that you can enjoy delicious meals without sacrificing quality or taste. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or sitting down for dinner, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend! read more

I LOVE CALIF CHICKEN CAFE. The food is so fresh and they have great options for dietary restrictions. Also the Price to serving ratio? BOMB. Especially for LA let's be real you leave hungry after paying an arm and a leg in this town sometimes but not here! Do yourself a favor and get down on one of the wraps . As long as the quality and pricing stays this way I'll be loyal read more

I used to eat this place all the time when I used to live in Hollywood. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I haven't seen one in a while so I went and checked it out but you can't like sit down there and eat. It's all taken out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I thought that was kind of weird so they're making more money on to go orders and doing less work because they don't have to pick up after anyone or have anyone serving anyone I mean if it's working for them it's working for them and that's all I can say however I would like to have a place to sit down and eat, but it's just the same as I remember it. I remember really loving their ranch and I get their chicken wrap and I love the ranch and the Ranch hasn't changed so as far as ambience goes, I can't really say much about it. I didn't sit down but the personality of the workers Was good. They were nice helpful and I feel like they like the fact that they don't have to pick up after anyone and [[HIGHLIGHT]]with UCLA being right there I can see it being a pretty busy location and that they don't need to have a place for people to sit down[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyhow it's still the same after all these years that was good to know but if you're thinking about going in and sitting down it's not gonna happen read more

Finding a spot with exceptional customer service and also tasteful healthy choices can be a challenge but this place has it all.

I ended up ordering the Chinese salad and it did not disappoint super delicious definitely coming back. read more
