    Mini Chicken.

    New customers: SPICY MAYO & TERIYAKI!! If you aren't adding this in your bowl, then you won't understand why the locals love this place so much! It's quick, easy and there's so many forms of rewards. It's a chicken rice bowl with vegetables. That's it. The sauces is what makes it unique.

    Hana Kitchen's chicken (and vegan) teriyaki bowls shine with great flavor, satisfying portions, and good value.

    Good Hawaiian fusion place. The chicken bowl was loaded and really filled me up. The guava slushee was not good. It was very fake and processed and I would assume the rest are like that. Don't get the slushee, but the bowls are good. Overall it's not the best place I have been to and many other better places in Santa Barbara, but it gets the job done if you need a quick bite to eat over lunch. We sat outside which has great seating and shade. Service is non existent as you order from a counter and pick up yourself.

    I came for the vegan food but was told they don't have anything vegan or vegetarian - nothing at all.

    They no longer have vegan options. They removed the vegan "chicken" and vegan "beef" from their menu

We shared the focaccia bread with their balsamic garlic sauce and their yoga pants salad. The bread was so fluffy and soft with a nice little crunch to the edge - loved their dipping sauce too.

I walked in and spoke with the guy working the bar area. I wasn't sure if I had to order my drink there or if there was table service. He said he could take my order and then I could go find a table to sit at. I placed my order for a Spritz and found a table outside. It seemed like 15 minutes had passed by and still no drink. He tended to another table in front of me with a group of women he knew. I thought he would stop by my table after, but he didn't even acknowledge me. Finally, another staff member tended to me and I told her I had placed my order at the bar and was still waiting for it. She was very kind and quickly got it for me. My observation of this guy, was that he acknowledged everyone around me but for some reason never acknowledged me until my bill was ready. Such a bizarre experience! In any case, I still managed to enjoy myself and was glad the Eva waited on me. She was very kind and I appreciate her getting my drink and food in a timely manner. I ordered the Spanish cheese plate, which was the perfect snacking board. It comes with manchego, membrillo, corn nuts, cornichon, quince, strawberries, focaccia, and charcoal sourdough bread. This plate is great for two people. Overall, a not so great experience, but grateful that Eva came to the rescue! It left me unsure of whether I would come back, only time will tell.

It also comes with a generous portion of perfectly crispy on the outside tender on the inside fries! Mmm mmm!!! They get really busy so come early!! Definitely a must try!

    The Daisy in Santa Barbara was a bit of a hit-or-miss visit for us…read more The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with plenty of outdoor seating, and is dog friendly, which is a big plus. You order at the counter and the food is brought over to your table. The service was friendly, though it could have been better--we had to get our own water, cutlery, and napkins and nobody came to check on us throughout the meal. Maybe that was because we came right at opening on the weekend. Food-wise, some dishes were better than others. The smoked brisket banh mi was disappointing, mainly because the brisket was chewy. The burrata-tomato salad with added chicken breast was good and felt fresh and satisfying. The chicken salad sandwich was okay, but the bread was too hard, which made it less enjoyable. On the positive side, my son really enjoyed the kids' grilled cheese sandwich with fries. Overall, The Daisy has a lovely atmosphere, and a great dog-friendly patio, but the food was a bit hit-or-miss during our visit.

The food is on the pricier side but the portions are generous. Nothing was bad, but most of the food isn't spiced as much as I'd like for mediterranean food. What I liked: The bread fluffy and delicious. The babaghanoush The pickled veggies The croutons on the fattoush (big, crunchy, yummy) What was ok: The chicken plate was ok. Cabbage was bland and the chicken/rice was missing flavor as well. Also comes with a generous side of hummus which I think needed more lemon and garlic. Fattoush... i liked the croutons and the freshness of the veggies but the dressing could be stronger. The dip trio ... the babaghanoush was good, but the lebneh wasn't sour enough. The whipped feta was sweet which wasn't bad but didnt go with the other flavors. Overall there was nothing wrong with this place. Food is plentiful and fresh, but I think I have a higher standard for mediterranean food, so this didn't hit it for me. Stay Cheerful

    Three Monkeys is one of those places you come to if you don't feel like eating a heavy meal, but…read moreyou need sustenance to satisfy your hunger. Located at the very end of the SB Public Market and right next to Cooneys bar. Their menu offers chicken, pork, beef and tofu Bánh Mi, as well as meat skewers, stir fry and salads. Just to name a few. I've tried the chicken and beef skewers which comes in the Hungry Box. I subbed two of the skewers for beef, but in all honesty the beef was too too tough to break down. My one pet peeve is meat that is chewy, dry and too tough to eat. Although it was flavorful, but I wouldn't order it again. I did enjoy the chicken skewer though! The Hungry Box also comes with rice and a salad. Both of which were simple but a nice compliment to the skewers. On my recent visit I ordered the Buffalo wings. They were delicious! I appreciate that the sauce wasn't too spicy. I haven't had buffalo wings in a long time and these really hit the spot! The French fries were also good and not too salty. Overall, three monkeys is worth checking out if you're visiting the public market. Customer service is fast and efficient.

Service isn't really a thing SBPM since it's a walk up to order and then pick it up when your buzzer goes off, but we liked the comfortable and casual setup. We ordered the Hungry Box #1 with chicken and a chicken bahn mi, and both were very good. The chicken was the same in both meals, and it was well seasoned and nicely grilled, but still juicy. The salad with the box and the pickled veggies in the bahn mi were fresh and crisp too. Just a comment on the bahn mi is there the ratio of bread to filling in the bahn mi was just a little too much bread. Overall though, it we enjoyed it and it made for a very nice meal.

We ordered the lemon zest brioche French toast, eggs Benedict, and a classic eggs + toast with turkey sausage/patties, along with tea and coffee. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and just really well done. It's owned by a couple (they were even featured in a magazine a few years back), and you can genuinely feel that care and intention in the space--from the atmosphere to the team working there. Nothing feels rushed or impersonal. What really says a lot--we kept coming back every day we were there.
