I recently discovered The Chicken Koop, and I am addicted!…read more I love getting their half roasted chicken with 2 sides, and it's been on my weekly rotation. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and it's a decent portion for the price. I also like that they have a lot of sides to choose from, and I usually go for the Brussels sprouts and jalepeno Mac and cheese. The plate also comes with a fluffy naan! You can pick 2 sauces to go with it, and my favorite sauce is the green sauce. I tried the garlic chicken plate once, but I prefer the regular roasted chicken. I haven't been in yet, so I can't speak to the service or ambiance, but the food is delicious!

Came to this location recently for lunch, because the Alhambra location is no longer open for…read morelunch. This location is a little different, some of the menu & Happy Hour options vary, and it is much smaller inside, but they also have an outside patio to sit. The service was good, and quick. My daughter came for a specific sandwich that she loves, and said it was equally good at this location. I came for the chicken and waffles, I asked for tenders instead of bone-in chicken pieces, and unfortunately it was not as good as the Alhambra location. The battered coating is different and completely falling off of the tenders, the waffle was a little overcooked as well. The Alhambra location uses a panko crusted breading and it's so good and crunchy! I don't think I would return to this location.

They had a board with an estimated wait time which was really helpful! Everyone was Running like a well oiled machine. We ordered some of the recommendations we saw on yelp and instagram. The prime rib brisket sandwich and the spicy gabagool. Both were delicious layered eith ingredients and made with care. The brisket was a bit onnthe dry side which was a bit disappointing but still very flavorful considering. The gabagool was my favorite. It was the right amount of heat, crunch and juiciness. We got a few sodas and tried the bacon grease potato chips. The chips were not worth the 8.50 but worth a try. They have a pretty good amount of seating on the sidewalk alwith umbrellas along with a few spots to sit inside. They called your number when your order was ready which was nice so you could sit outside and relax while you waited.

The service was nice enough. This is a VERY busy restaurant and I wanted to try it…read more I bought 4 sandwiches: curry chicken, Tom's way, and 2 briskets. My family liked the brisket, but my mom and I weren't too crazy about the other two. There's nothing wrong with the way it was made -- our taste buds just didn't care for the combinations. Try if you have an expansive palate. They are well made.

The food, and the service of this place is dope, yo!- but before I elaborate on the qualities that…read moremake this place blaze I want to begin with what confused me into a state of silly contemplation. I was not confused to a stupor that left me angry and frustrated, I was left more dazed with swirling lilies around my mind, like I had been hit hard with the staff of a fairy who pays the bills of the forest as an interior designer. The place has a design concept that takes two opposing forces and blends them into a restaurant concept: health forward food for O.G.'s and their like and crew, all while being a love letter to the streets of Los Angeles, the gritty streets, not the ones next to Rodeo. For instance, Cruz, one of the staff members, was wearing a "Straight out of Whittier" shirt that was clear nod to the movie straight out of Compton that was all about the rap and its consequence on West LA homeboy culture. The central mural of the joint showed low-riders, the LA symbol made with finger angles, and graffiti galore. Again, the message was clear this is a health cafe for Tupac and his friends and followers. These two principal ingredients mixing together (health food and LA street culture) at least in my mind, are more the subject for improv comedy than a sensible restaurant concept. I know people can mix what ever they want together, I know that there is choice when people color and dress, but this motif seemed like it was mixing Ninja culture with a dog grooming service. The concept can work, I see a ninja de-worming a golden retriever with swift skill but this concept also seems forced rather than flowing with common sense. So for a health cafe in LA I see Cher from Clueless, or Barbie, being more easily applied to the concept.But what do I know perhaps in a few months will have a Hell's Angel's tea experience that will not be dainty but rather hard like a helmet and it might be the concept that begins a revolution that ends with Hair Salons with Viking culture at its decoration theme. The (health) food in itself was a blessing. My friend Bailey is the healthy eater of the two of us! She got a simple green salad with tofu. I sampled a forkful. My hand had to dig in hard, with its fork, to retrieve the lettuce, the carrot, and some of the pickle, I avoided the tofu. The greens were fresh, and tasted clean in their simple flavors, but what elevated the green forkful to excellence in taste was the sweet mustard dressing. The green had dressing that turned solid greens to yummy ones! I ordered the shrimp tostada. Cruz, came to the table and explained that my plate was Keto friendly, which meant that it was good food for those who were experiencing life as a pre-diabetic, for example. What I loved about this place and its food, was that I did not feel like I was eating healthy and had to sacrifice pleasure in the name of honoring my health goals. Quite the contrary, the food was just plain good food, and for me, eating good clean food, is a fantastic way to keep my health goals on track. Apparently the tortilla was made out of cactus, and that is a why where the healthy stays in tact, while still being food that is satisfying, and, yummy! I would go here again, especially when my health goals are in full swing. This place will facilitate the process because the food was truly good!

I kid you not every time we come here we get the same things plus more (sometimes). I always get the off the grill plate. My choice of fish is always Basa. For the seasoning you can get lemon pepper or Cajun. And it automatically comes with salad and rice with butter and choice of dressing. Oh and they include a few triangles of pita bread. The service is always amazing. They do get sometimes busy and it's sometimes a 1 woman show taking the orders and giving the orders but she's a doll! There's probably at least 3 TVs playing sports. Go Dodgers! They have a wide variety of Dodger bobble heads and memorabilia all over it. Oh and there's also an outdoor area along with heaters!

Today was the second time we visited and were not even acknowledged when we arrived. The first time we waited for a little under 10 minutes without even a hello. We left!

I left. I am not sure that we will go back any time soon considering the myriad of alternatives around the area. Hopefully they can get different people in the front of the restaurant with at least a little more people skills. 2 stars as the food is good.

I ended up choosing tofu, shrimp, and pork belly as my three different proteins, asked for the house mix for both the toppings and veggies since I was super indecisive so I appreciated the pre-mixed selections. Just be mindful that of the pre-mixes comes with peanuts for those who are allergic. I also requested for noodles to be added and the crunchy egg roll skin to be added too (not sure what it is called for sure but I needed that crunch texture since it is all soft ingredients without it in the rolls). Shrimp was definitely my top and then tofu with the pork belly being last. I think it was just a texture thing mostly for me with the pork belly because of how soft and fatty the pieces were. I did wish the tofu was seasoned a bit, but the sauce helped. Would definitely come back to try their other protein options!

Truly restrained myself. Then came the mango sticky rice... and listen, I should've taken a picture because it came out looking like it was ready for a magazine cover. The purple rice they used? Gorgeous. And honestly, I liked it way more than the usual white sticky rice. It felt fancy!

When I got it though, it looked like they just sprinkled a little bit. There was a little mishap with our dishes, but the impeccable service corrected this. There was a piece of plastic found in mom's kale salad. Once we let the staff know, they immediately took her plate, remade it fresh and on top of that, let her choose 2 side dishes and even gave a $30 gift card!!! This made us extremely grateful and happy. They are very nice and understanding. I give this 5 stars because this place served good food, was able to correct their mistake, and went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied and happy.
