Delicious Chinese chicken salad rotisserie chicken is also real good great hospitality we got our order fast great portion size definitely a must try. read more

I came in to get a take out order and wanted to give a special recognition to Andrew for his kindness when ordering. He was very helpful and patient with me. It's been a while since I've eaten here. I do remember this place always being really good. It's busy on this Sat. The ambience in here is nice. You should be very happy with your visit. read more

Today I tried the Chicken Caesar Salad it was very fresh and delicious I highly recommend it

Really bummed at the quality and service at this location since pandemic. Things are back to normal at every food spot surrounding and you still can't order indoors OR eat indoors. Even worse all the employees are eating inside in front of you and without masks so what's the point of closing indoor dining? Makes NO sense. Our wraps weren't marked and kinda looked identical so we ended up eating part of each other's wrap and swapped. Thankfully it's my Husband sharing! The avocado is like mushy guac and only partially in middle but nowhere else. I miss the good ole days when you can clearly see them making your order to know if it's right. For the prices and jump you can go to a local restaurant. I used to love it here, but between last time with completely wrong order and never wrote a review to now, I'm not coming back. Sorry Charlie! My fam eats here a lot too so need to find a new spot for them too! read more

The only reason I am giving them two star is being I was refunded for my cabbage salad. I found a bug in my salad and I had ordered the combo wrap and the side salad. The man on the phone only refunded my cabbage salad when I wanted to be refunded for the entire order. He tried to offer me a free meal next time but I am not going back. it was disgusting. I am in shock because i've never had this problem with other locations. I threw away all my food because I got scared to eat my wrap. I am not going back. read more

Love it here. The food is always fresh and tastes delicious. Definitely recommend asking for the green salsa. I'm addicted to food here. It's light but filling at the same time. The dining area is always very clean and very well kept and I love the setup with the natural light. I've been helped out by Natalia and Leslie, both are super friendly and have really great attitudes. All the staff does including the manger. Overall just a really good place to go eat. read more

Amazing salads. I had the Caesar salad and it was really big, you can definetly save some for later, lots of veggies really colorful. My boyfriend had the 1/2 roasted chicken and that was delicious too, amazing flavor cooked perfect all around. I will definitely come back! read more

We forgot to order a lemonade and a water and the GM said don't worry about it, these small gestures are what make California chicken Cafe great thank u again to Andrew the general manager read more

I love this place, I'm happy it's near my house in Northridge. My family always order Half or Whole Rotisserie Chicken, Chinese Chicken Salad with extra dressing, Broccoli Pasta, Chk Pasta & Roasted Potatoes, oh and extra Pita and Salsa....It' a lot but, never disappoints. I haven't tried the wraps yet, but heard they we're amazin' as well...Even though i had a problem with my order earlier today and had a missing item, I was doubled another item - no biggie but, you got to watch out for that. Other than that, the staff was cheerful and prompt with my order when I went for curbside pickup, once everything opens back up, I will be back to dine in. Thanks! read more

I ordered at the wrong location and the one in northridge was so kind for making my order!!!!! I thank them so nice diasey was like amazing CCC member and so helpful on getting this done. Amazing team they have here!!! read more

Probably one of my favorite lunch chains in San Fernando Valley. Food is always great even though it is a bit pricey. Limited parking is the only issue that I have with most of the CCC locations with the Nordhoff location being the lone exception. Parking is easier to find here. Unless you have an hour of time, don't try to come in here during peak times to order food in a rush. Lines are always busy. Call your food in advance and save yourself the time. read more

This place has the best wraps I have had in a long time. The delivery time was impressive and the price was fair. I'm a fan.

I had the half chicken with a salad. The leg and thigh was wonderful but the breast was a little bland. I think this is more the nature of chicken than the fault of the restaurant. Facilities clean. I asked if any of the dressings were sugar free and no one knew the answer. I cannot have sugar and the staff should know what they are serving especially for diabetics. read more

My first impression was, "It's a must-try at least once while I'm here in Northridge. It's always packed and they give free drinks to all CSUN students and staff." I always pass by CCC on the way to school and my gosh this place is always swarming with students, business people, and locals. I walked in one day to order the popular-on-yelp item: the combo wrap. I got it to go because there was no way I was going to find a seat, and like it was recommended, I asked for dressing on the side so that my vegetables wouldn't get soggy when I got home. Pros: it's close to CSUN, free drinks, the ingredients definitely tasted fresh, healthy (depends). Cons: the price for a wrap, flimsy service, crowded. There are some places I would wait for hours if I knew I'd be rewarded something amazing. But I'm sorry CCC the wrap just didn't cut it for me. The chicken was a bit dry and with so many greek choices nearby with the similar pita wrap concept, I think I'll probably pass. I think the portions of their salads are outrageous, but the combo wrap is smaller in real-life than these pictures may imply. The lasting impression? "Something still wants me to come back and try the salads and sides. It'll get one more chance to impress me!" read more

Let's see, the one on Melrose, the one in Woodland Hills, the one on Westwood, the new one on Topanga, and of course this one. Since I have eaten at almost all of them, I think it's time to explain why I love the California Chicken Cafe so much. My #1, go to has to be the Chinese Chicken Salad, or Chinese Chicken Wrap, it depends on what I am in the mood for. Usually it's the wrap with extra chicken. Fresh Pita, crispy noodles, packed with chicken, lettuce, and dressing.(I get it with no mayo, but you can get the lowfat mayo if you are worried about calories.) Add an extra dressing, the green salsa they have at the salsa bar, and a little cup of sriracha, and this is a great meal.(yes I like spicy, haven't we figured that out yet?) My girl will get the Chinese Chicken Salad, but I have a question. I order the small order, and you charge me less, but why does it seems like you still get 10lbs of food? Ok, not a complaint, just a fact that the salads are huge. Again, side of fresh pitas which she stuffs the lettuce and chicken in, and sort of makes her own wrap, hmmm. My daughter loves the chicken Caesar salad and I can't blame her. This is my #2 favorite thing here. She has yet to finish the full, half, or any other order we get her from here, but she loves every bite. Add on a few of the cookies they have, and it's the perfect Saturday afternoon lunch or dinner.(I would have said Sunday, but this isn't one of the blessed Open Sunday locations.) The people are always friendly, but I have learned that it is best to order ahead of time, and take it home. Eating here is sometimes a drag. Since it is always packed, and the tables are set up in a long row, if you go in with 3, be prepared to be joined by someone you don't know to be your 4th. Be glad you used dial, don't you wish everyone else did??? read more

Calif Chicken Cafe - American Near Me - Northridge, California

Brittany was very helpful because despite advice from fellow yelpers Jamie and Alan, I was not sure what too order. Ended up with Chinese chicken salad substituting fresh chicken breast. I was quite pleased my salad. It was a great size and quite filling. The dressing is tasty, but I suggest getting it on the side because they give you a lot. The wonderful aroma and sight of the roasting chickens nearly got me! I almost ordered a whole one. It was packed in there but I noticed the orders coming out rather quickly. Staff is nice and prices are quite reasonable for the freshness. I will be back. read more

I gave this place another try on the wraps they load up on too much avocado which ruins the taste but their salads and cookies are my absolute favorite. All in all I would go back and try their other items. read more

Love love love this location. Food is always fresh and great and the team here is very polite. Kevin is very sweet. He's taken my orders previously and always goes out of his way to make sure everything is good. read more

my brother said "hey lets go to CCC".. i told him I've never heard of CCC. he seemed a little shocked. "ok we're going then" CCC stands for california chicken cafe, with 7 locations in LA area. They serve rotisserie chicken by itself, in the form of wraps, or in a salad. I got the chinese chicken salad ($9.00). Oh my goodness this salad was 3 meals for me. I give mad props to anyone that can finish this beastly thing. Not only was the salad HUGE, it came with 2 slices of pita bread (whole wheat or white). It was DELICIOUS. man, when you're craving for a salad, this would really hit the spot! I wish i had known earlier that you can choose your own dressing.. cuz I would have not only chosen a different dressing, but I would have asked for it on the side because more than likely you will NOT finish your salad! Plus, mine was soaked in dressing so I had to ask them to add a little bit of lettuce to mine. they were SUPER nice about it and retossed the salad for me :) My brother got the combo wrap ($7.75) which was pretty good portioned, but nothing like my salad. It came with chicken, guac, jack cheese, sprouts, italian dressing, lettuce, tomato and FAT FREE mayo :). also the choice of white or wheat wrap. looks like most people get the wrap or salad here. Or share a salad and wrap between 2 people. it got pretty packed for dinner, many people ordered for pick-up.. or else waited patiently for thier food like we did! :) read more

Walk in and be greeted with the delicious smell emanating from roasted chicken on the spinning rods of the giant rotisserie. Here's somewhere you can eat without feeling guilty afterward. The food is delicious and satisfying, yet not that bad for you! My favorite is the Combo Wrap: chicken, guacamole, jack cheese, sprouts, Italian dressing, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. For side dishes, I usually go with the butternut squash, pasta salad, or broccoli salad. Parking can be tough, especially at peak times like lunch or rush hour. This place is very popular with CSUN students and local business folks who want to grab something quick and tasty on the way home after a long day. Sometimes there's a long wait. TIP: I like to call in my order to-go ahead of time. This way, it'll be ready for me to pick up once I arrive. read more

So first off only come here if you're trying to eat healthy or in the mood for something healthy because if you're not one of the two the price won't be worth it to you. They give you a lot of salad for one portion. You can split it between two people. My favorite thing to order here is the Chinese chicken salad. Extremely refreshing and lightly marinated to a tee. They also give you bread with your salad so it doesn't get too mundane. Only thing I hate about going here are speed bumps you could go mountain biking on. They are huge. And whoever designed this parking lot needs to reconsider their profession. Every time I take someone here, they always say they're coming back which is great indication of the quality of their food. read more

Took a dump in their bathroom and clogged the toilet. 5 Stars to the staff for dealing with this. -_- sorry! read more

Love this location. Food is consistently good and the staff is incredibly nice. I ordered two wraps and they threw in free chicken and a small side of fruit! read more

Here's the thing. I LIVED on CCC when I was in college at UCLA. It's just a straight shot on the Big Blue Bus #8 from campus. Stop by for a yummy rotisserie chicken meal with their amazing broccoli pasta and potatoes. They had great portions, the food was decent, the price was even more decent, and you can be in and out quickly and for under 10. Sadly, these are just precious memories. The old CCC, for me, is a thing of the past. Are their tastes still consistent? Yes. Are their portions? No. Are their prices? No longer. Us starving students at UCLA used to get their 8 piece dark + 3 sides for something under $15 -- served 3 people, no problem. Walked in today for the same deal -- $24 and some change. Order a salad for greater than $11. Yikes. I just can't justify the price hike...for the food and portions. Sorry CCC, I think I'd rather head to Stonefire Grill where $9.99 will get you a half of a chicken, a salad, and 2 breadsticks. Or costco for their whole chicken @ $4.99. Or even El Pollo Loco...well you get the picture. read more

It's close to school, and CSUN students and faculty with ID get a free drink with their purchase! This place gets packed at lunch, so either go early or later, or you'll be sharing a table with strangers. I like to get the Chinese Chicken Wrap ($7.25). It's tasty and fresh, and is good fuel for a day full of classes! Their sides are good, too - the fresh fruit is really, umm, fresh! read more

I think the concept of having fresh rotisserie chicken in a salad, wrap or whole is great. I also like the idea of the fresh ingredients. What I think the issue with CCC is that everything tastes bland. I ordered the California Chicken Salad once then I orded half a chicken and all was bland. When I go out to eat and spend $12 on a lunch, I want to be wow'd, I want my taste buds to experience something extra ordinary. However, in my opinion, that is not the case with CCC. It tastes like food that I can cook at home with basic ingredients. If you are looking for a home style meal with fresh ingredients then this place is great. However, not my style. I'm giving them three stars instead of two only because they have fresh, healthy ingredients. read more

Always great food! Love everything about this place! And now they zip tie the delivery bags so no one other than you can get in your food! What a great idea! read more

Alexis (the manager) and Cynthia were so incredibly accommodating! I have never been treated so wonderfully by the staff of a restaurant in my life. I hope the company knows the value of their employees because I sure do! I am so very grateful for the experience today, not to mention the food was delicious! That was the best bbq chicken salad I've ever had. Try the aloha cookie too! Yum! read more

To be 110% honest I'm disappointed with the chicken... and the pita... and the salad... okay my entire plate of food in general. Everything else is cool. Keep in mind you pay for the cool interior design and chill ambient music. read more

VERY INCONSISTENT! I was so disappointed when I got it today, because they really skimped out on my chicken Ceasar wrap .. where the tomatoes @?! And the dressing, SO little causing the wrap to be super bland this time. I am very unsatisfied :( The first time I tried it with my friend I thought the wrap was sooo good, bursting with flavor and coming as a generous portion as well. But this time, I am very disappointed!! There was 0 people in line too, what are you guys being lazy for! Will not be coming back anytime soon, damn I should have gotten a Chipotle burrito instead read more

Wife likes the pasta here, so does my daughter and granddaughters, I have not eaten here so I'm going by my family expertise.

Three Cheers for the California Chicken Cafe. Not only is the food delicious here, but it's also surprisingly healthy, which is a really good thing as it's located near a college campus that tries it's hardest to make fatties out of it's student population by allowing only fast food on campus. The Chicken Cafe is a great place to spend $8 and get super full on really delicious freshly cooked food. I'm always pleased with what I get here, not to mention the fact that the prices are gentle even on the shoestring budget of the typical college student. I usually get the 1/4 chicken and a side of the pasta salad, it's a good deal and a pretty darn good meal for the price. read more

Every time my sister comes to visit we eat here. Normally I would never go to a place like this, way too many healthy things, but my sister convinced me to try it, and what do you know, it was pretty good! It is always pretty crowded, but the food is always delicious. I have only ordered wraps as my main meal but I've tried a different one every time. I have had the combo wrap, the primavera wrap (with no sprouts or carrots), and the Caesar Wrap. I like the Primavera the best. As a side I always order the hot potatoes, add a little salt, YUMMY! The one time I didn't order potatoes, my sister did, and I had complete food envy! I love how everything you need to take your food home is on the side for you to use, I find such excitement in wrapping half my wrap in tin foil myself, I don't know why but I really do. Tips: -Don't come if you're in a hurry, even the take out has quite a wait. -Order the hot potatoes! (add salt) -Don't order the butternut squash, unless you're a big fan of warm baby food. -If you want anything, Tapatio, salt, pepper, silverware, get up and get it! -Learn to be friendly! You will be sitting directly next to someone, you have never met. -Take food home just so you can wrap it up in foil! Trust me its fun. One wish: Dessert -1 star. A girls got to have her dessert. read more

This place just doesn't seem to want to staff better. The people that work here seem to be upset about it and will show it in their attitude and lack of attention to quality of work. Come on CCC! Get it together! read more

Anyone that knows me can attest how much I love CCC. Infact, it is the first place that pops to my mind when I get hungry. It's just that good- taste, service, price and all. It does get pretty packed in here, but the wait is well worth it. I LOVE their wraps, especially the primavera wrap with wheat tortilla! Get some of that green salsa with each bite, it's dee-lish! If I'm famished I can finish the wrap and it's a perfect amount, or else I usually split it with the hubby along with a half rotisserie chicken. For the side you NEED to get the cabbage salad!! It's super refreshing with peanut bits and dressed perfectly. Oh, and their Chinese chicken salad is also BOMB. You can also purchase their dressings to-go and make your own salad at home. I probably come here at least once a week and will continue to do so. I can't wait till more locations appear, especially in the OC. The only complaint I have is that the parking lot sucks and has some of the nastiest speed bumps. read more

I typically go to the location on Wilshire in Santa Monica and it's always good. Seems every time I go to this one they manage to botch the order somehow. Tonight we went in 6:00, ordered 3 wraps and waited 25 minutes. This was a takeout order. Of course when we got home none of the wraps had dressing on them. I honestly don't get why it's so hard for them to do this right when the Wilshire location does it without a hitch. I guess I'm done with this one and will just stick to the Wilshire location. read more

Since we moved, we've been getting our take out orders from this CCC location. The first time my husband was in a hurry and didn't bother to check the bags. They forgot half of our order. I was disappointed but shame on us for not checking to begin with. This week, we ordered our food to go again. This time, I did bother to check the order and sure enough, they forgot our pita, cookies and one of our sides. They apologized again and took the time to get us the rest of our food but man, it looks like it's beginning to be a pattern. I spoke with the manager and he didn't seem surprised at all. In fact, he seemed bothered that I told him that our order wasn't complete. Definitely not as good as the Woodland Hills location which is a bummer. Check your take out orders! read more

I don't come here very often, but when I get the craving to eat something relatively healthy and delicious, I always come to the Cali Chicken Cafe! My mom and I walked here from LA Fitness after an intense work out because I figured I deserved to refuel :D hehehehe My mom said I could order whatever I wanted, soooo.. I got whole chicken + hot potatoes + broccoli pasta salad, and a regular Caesar salad. - whole chicken ($11): I love rotisserie chicken, but it's expensive :[ My mom said we're gonna go get it from Costco next time ($5) and get the side dishes only haha - hot potatoes: most popular side dish and rightly so! I love the seasoning and the grilled onions! - broccoli pasta salad: got this instead of the other pasta salad (thousand island dressing made it too sweet). The broccoli pasta salad was light and fresh. - Caesar salad: it's so freaking good. Pita chips instead of croutons, and the size is pretty dang big. Basically, just rip up the chicken pieces, put it in the pita bread with some salad and salsa, and you're good to go! The salsa bar is pretty nice. Fresh salsa = yummy :] Also, lots of other sauces to choose from: ketchup, bbq, sweet chili sauce, tabasco, etc. AND you can also choose between regular and wheat pita bread! SO MUCH HEALTHINESS hahaha P.S. we got overcharged $2 for the salad, I guess, and we didn't realize it. While we were waiting for the food to come out, the cashier came up to us, apologizing for the inconvenience and gave up our $2 back lol My mom and I were a little confused but thanked her nonetheless. Thumbs up for service! read more

California Chicken Cafe is about as good as healthy food gets in Northridge. It's definitely no fast food joint, but for college students, it's a great healthy meal near campus. I have been here numerous times because of their great service, meals and atmosphere. I bring everyone here to experience CCC because it's just that good. I have tried an array of meals here. I love the combo wrap or just a simple classic wrap, or a caesar salad. I absolutely love the mix of vegetables and their fresh, juicy chicken. I also love the pita they use to wrap the wraps. Just lovely. And as for sides, their mashed potatoes are perfect texture and melt in your mouth. My personal favorite though is the broccoli pasta salad. I normally hate uncooked broccoli, but it tastes WONDERFUL mixed with rottini. They also provide sriracha, tapatio, olive oil, vinegar, salsas and more to add to your entrees to spice it up. I love their mixture of sauces and ingredients. It clearly makes every meal here memorable. The atmosphere is just simple high top tables or small tables connected together. It can get really busy anytime around noon so I suggest ordering it by phone and picking it up unless you want to wait around 25 minutes for your food. Which I have before... that's my dedication. Oh and for you CSUN students, you get a free drink with the show of your Student ID. Their prices are very reasonable too, I am just so unorganized in this review. It's around 7-10$ per wrap or salad and the sides are around 2-7$ depending on the size you get. Totally reasonable on a college students salary. Please visit and check it out! It won't disappoint. read more
