    I ordered chicken parmigiana. It is usually a thick slice, breaded, and baked in marinara sauce, and tender to chew. Mine was breaded and fried in oil. The chicken and coating were hard! There was melted cheese on top and some sauce. It wasn't easy to chew. The bread was hot and crispy. It was good. We got a free pepperoni pizza for signing up for email. I asked for all the pepperoni on one half, and she said no. Really ??? The pizza crust was like a large cracker. My boyfriend ate it. The waitress was very attentive and refilled the drinks.

    Date of visit: February 23, 2025 Selections: Johnny's Meal for Two - Calamari Fritta (Small Plate) - Unlimited House Salad per Person - Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo - Grilled Chicken Bowtie Festival - Lemon Cream Cake Complimentary bread with garlic oil dip Experience: I was a bit hesitant with eating here after seeing some of the ratings left for this place, but the husband was set on this place after spotting the restaurant. We were quickly seated and definitely the place gave diners vines like Bob Big Boy's, which I didn't mind since it gave it more of a family feel. Our server was nice and made sure to check in on us while we went through the menu and during the rest of our meal. We ended up doing the Johnny's Meal for Two so we could try more items together. I was glad we had some bread and garlic oil to munch on as we waited. The dip was pretty good and unique since I'm use to the olive oil and balsamic dip mix. From our Johnny's Meal for Two, I enjoyed the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and the Calamari Fritta, even though I wish there were more squid bits than lone batter bits. The Grilled Chicken Bowtie Festival pasta tasted weird to me, but at least the Lemon Cream Cake was pretty good since it wasn't too sweet and my husband loves tart things. Overall, a good experience and glad that we ended up giving this place a shot.

    Maricela never disappoints! She's hands-down our favorite server always recommending delicious drinks and providing the best service every time we're there. The food is consistently amazing, and the spaghetti with artichokes is my go-to if you're trying to stay on the "lean" side . Highly recommend!

    Raul at the bar is our go to guy! He has our drinks coming out as we walk in the door. Always friendly and helpful! Drinks and food are great. We'll be back!!

The portion sizes are ginormous and you cannot leave hungry from here and sometimes will have leftovers even if you only order a single item. I wish they had a bigger seating area. Also the ice-cream (pre packaged, not store made) selection is weird but not wonderful. I guess those are an acquired taste. If they open a location in South OC, I will go at least once a week if not more.

My friends and I ordered the shawarma fries, Cali burrito, and the garlic shrimp fries. All of these were very good but I highly recommend the Cali burrito. Very common dish but Fatima's grill knocks it out of the park somehow. Idk how but he did. The shawarma fries also packs a lot of flavor and highly recommend. The GS fries were good but wish I got a little more shrimp. This place is not the cheapest but definitely get your money's worth in quantity and quality.

They As we are a primarily chicken household, I brought my family with me to try their chicken plates and creative chicken plates. My first initial thought walking into Chicken Koop is that it has calm party vibe... the reason I say this is because through our whole time in the restaurant, they were playing a lot of my favorite songs. For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate. The Friend Chicken Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful; the breaded chicken patty had a perfect crunch to it. The 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate was also another delicious and great choice. The chicken was cooked perfectly- again no dry chicken and it was juicy w a crunchy outer skin. The Brussels sprouts can out perfectly as well.

We ordered takeout and were pleasantly surprised they still accepted our order only 30 minutes before closing. I had the mushroom wrap because it seemed like a healthier option. The vegetables inside were cooked well and nicely seasoned, but the wrap itself was a little dry. It came with a salad, which was a nice addition. I'd still return for the wrap. The garlic fries were really good, and the nachos were nice and saucy. The rice that came with the dinner plate, however, was overcooked and mushy. Overall, a decent experience with a few standout items.

My absolute favorite is the Greek chicken salad--I can't even explain how good it is, it's just that delicious every single time. Recently, my sisters surprised me for my birthday by taking me there, and we had such a great time. It made the experience even more special. Their pastries are also amazing--fresh and so tasty. What really stands out to me is the customer service. We had such a kind and friendly server who took the time to talk with us, which made us feel so welcome. That's the kind of service that keeps you coming back. We ended up staying for almost three hours because that's how comfortable and relaxed we felt at The Marketplace. It truly feels like a place where you can enjoy great food and great company.
