    Northridge, CA I've tried their salads before, but this was my first time at this location. Ordering is done through the app and it's to-go only. I placed an order for two salads -- the Chinese Chicken Salad and the California Chicken Salad. The wait time was about 15 minutes, which gave me a chance to pop into Vons nearby to pick up a few things. When I came back, my order was ready and neatly packed in a tightly sealed bag. While waiting, customers stay outside, and an employee comes out to check on you. It wasn't busy when I went, so the process was quick and easy. Both salads were fresh, hearty, and generously portioned -- definitely filling. I usually finish mine in three sittings! While my SO finishes his in one. Healthy eating it is!!!

    Easiest and best way is to order through the app.

    The stars were aligned for me today...let me tell you! :-) I placed an order through my app like I always do and requested pick up for the earliest time which is 10:45 AM (they open at 10:30 AM). I had to fast for a blood test so I was very hungry and was picking up on my way home. Only this time I was just picking up a salad and two bottles of dressing (I always keep their ranch in my fridge). The salad was for my mom along with one of the bottles. When Paulina handed me my bag, I noticed an extra item. They put in a half of a ranch wrap :-) WOW! This could not have come at a more perfect and better time. It was a perfect amount for me and delicious. This was so nice! What a nice touch throwing this in my bag. Paulina has brought food out to me before plenty of times and she's always so nice and looks like she works really hard. I'm sure they all do! Thank you CCC! yummy ;-p

    Mashed potatoes

    Came here to try it during my lunch break and wanted something quick and the lady who helped me was super great because she was able to coordinate with her co workers and got my food out super fast! So first time trying this place because for one thing the food looked great on their menus and who doesn't love chicken? So I had to quickly choose and I chose the first thing I saw and it was the LA wrap which is i wanna say similar to their chicken Cesar salad wrap but just some differences. What I liked about the wrap was the fact that it had a fresh taste to it like that feeling of biting into something that was just made which is what one would say when they eat their food as soon as they receive it but for me it sat in my work fridge and at the end of the work shift it still tasted fresh even after 4-5 hours. The chicken was pretty flavorful! I think they use the chicken they roast in their ovens that I saw through their window which would explain why it was great tasting. It came with a side ranch to dip your wrap into but I like to pour over it like a burrito with hot sauce. The mashed potatoes that they gave was a nice little freebie and it was pretty darn good and I loved how creamy it was and I think what I should of done was dip the wrap into the mashed potatoes or at the very least spread it over onto with every bite....over all my experience was great and I think I will for sure come back to try the other stuff when I'm not pressed on time which is why for me for now it'll be a 4 star! I'm excited to try their other stuff next time!

    This California Chicken Café has walk up orders. I didn't know that. I'm used to the ones where you can walk and sit inside. I ordered a California Chinese chicken salad. It comes with a large amount of chicken mandarin, oranges, lettuce, pasta noodles onions if you select to choose to put them on and salad dressing. Delicious as usual!

    Great food, good flavors! Better option as far as something quick to go. Will be back soon!!

    Love the colors it gives beach shop vibes. They have small parking lot that collides with the parking lot so it can get crowded very easily. I did take out today and my order was delayed 20 min from the time I was told it would be ready to pick up. I get it things happen and it was Friday so all good! Food was fresh and great quality. Such great prices Huge salad for $6 and $11 for a footlong wrap. I got the Caesar wrap and Chinese salad by the way. The wrap was good but too many crunch pita croutons to my liking. I like a crunch but it was a little much. Nice people, hard workers! Thanks for the food!

    Order station outside- so dumb

    One of my all time favorite salads here. BUT, why in the world are we only doing take out! terrible company direction. I thought during Covid it was temporary, but the fact that it's only take out- and nowhere to eat- not even outside tables. if I didn't absolutely LOVE the salad, I'd over come back. please please bring back in dining options.

    Cesar wrap + avocado. And mashed potatoes on them :)

    i can eat this every day no lie! it's so fresh, so healthy, so clean, so delicious and it's always consistent! PLUS the customer service is A1! amber was so nice and quick during my pick up order. i always get the caesar wrap, white pita, no chicken, no tomatoes, add bell peppers, add green onions, add sprouts, add avocado, add parmesan, and i get extra caesar and mae ploy on the side !!!! THE BEST! my go to every time! never disappoints.

    Vegan Crunch wrap

    VEGAN ITEMS!!!! I haven't been here in years. They are in the same parking lot as my new nail salon. However, they are able to go restaurant only you cannot even go inside. There is someone sitting outside to take your order and to bring your order service was fine. Ambience there isn't any because you cannot go inside. Wrap and squash were very good

Junior also checked on us several times, asked how we're doing and replenished our water. Our order was brought out within 15 to 20 minutes of ordering. Today's lunch order consisted of Wood Ranch Tri Tip with Mac & Cheese, Cheeseburger sliders and BBQ Chicken breast with fries. We were also given fresh garlic bread twice. It was good and fresh out of the oven. The BBQ chicken was flavorful and tender. It was not over cooked. The Tri Tip was medium rare just how my husband likes it. Mac & Cheese was not over saturated which he enjoyed. The Cheeseburger sliders were all tender and not over cooked. We look forward to dining at Wood Ranch Northridge again.

The earl grey flavor was strong, so it was definitely on the sweeter side. The chicken was definitely different from the Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken I was expecting. The texture was more like mini chicken tenders or nuggets than the usual crispy, popcorn chicken. The chicken itself was juicy and had less breading. Not bad at all, just different from what I expected. Pricing is also not bad, especially for the portions. I parked in the back lot, but there's also free street parking.

    I originally discovered this spot when I noticed a line of people around the block right before…read moreThanksgiving. I then learned that they are known for their honey baked ham and that they serve a mean breakfast. Today I stopped by for the first time to give it a try. I went with honey baked ham Benedict with a side of hash browns. The portion was of a good size and visually looked great. The benedict tasted pretty good, with its yummy lemony hollandaise sauce, toasted muffin and the famous honey baked ham. However, the ham was a bit on the drier side and I was really hoping it would be more juicy. The hash browns too, were a bit dry. Still a good meal, but I like mine to be more tender and juicier. The seating area has around 8 tables, with a decor of an older diner. The service was friendly and fast. I may try this spot again--maybe a sandwich this time.

    This review is fo my last visit which was 2 days before Thanksgiving 2025…read more I got there 10 minutes before they officially opened, and the line was already out on the sidewalk. I finally got to the counter to place my order 2 hours after opening. No issue with waiting in line considering the Thanksgiving crowd. The issue I have is how management dealt with dealing with the lines. There were 2 lines: pre-order/pre-paid or walk-ins. There were 6 registers: 5 are for the pre-order/pre-paid, and the 1 was for the walk-ins. The issue is that the walk-in line is super long, while the pre-order/pre-paid line had no more than between 6 to 8 people. Staff on the 5 registers informed walk-in customers that management told them they are only ring up pre-order/pre-pay. Meanwhile, walk-in customers would suffer because of some idiotic management decision, and they are too obtuse to fix a simple problem to solve. RIDICULOUS!!! Lesson learned, best to pre-order/pre-pay for next year at least 2 week ahead. If you wait too late, they will not accept anymore pre-order/pre-pay. The good news: we very much enjoyed the honey baked ham, pork roast, mash & gravy, and baby back ribs were awesome!!!

    First time here, and it definitely won't be my last…read more The food was flavorful, freshly made, and hit the spot. My coworkers ordered the Chicken Gangjeong in both the Soy Garlic and Sweet & Spicy flavors. I only had a bite of each, but both were juicy and seemed to be made with dark meat chicken. The Soy Garlic was actually sweeter than the Sweet & Spicy, which caught me off guard, while the Sweet & Spicy had more of a mild heat than an overwhelming kick. I ordered the Grandma Tteokbokki at spice level 2 and added melted cheese and ramen. Those add-ons were absolutely worth it. The cheese made the sauce extra creamy, while the ramen soaked up all of the flavor and turned it into a hearty, comforting meal. Spice level 2 had a nice kick without overpowering the dish, making it easy to enjoy from start to finish. Overall, everything we tried was satisfying, and I'd happily come back to work my way through more of the menu. If you're ordering the tteokbokki, I definitely recommend adding the cheese and ramen--you won't regret it.

Adding ramen and cheese is a must! The cashier was also really nice. Even though he was new, he was able to answer all of our questions and provided excellent service. The restaurant was super clean, organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we make a trip to SoCal!
