The location is great, from the neatness and cleanness of the place which is a must in a food establishment. The variety of bowls, wraps and salads. The indisputable freshness of their food items is something that glorified since most places, nowadays, claim to have fresh produce but in reality they don't. The customer service experience is one of those where you are immediately bound to repeat over and over again. This is not only about the food but the visuals, the amazing taste, the flexibility, the location, and extremely important, the quality of their product and their customer service and let me be clear. They EXCEL in doing all that!
I used to live in Encino 15 years ago and the best place to eat healthy, fresh and delicious was California Chicken Cafe, I used to eat at least two times a week and the food was always GREAT and the place very nice and clean. Recently I was in the area and decided to make a stop at my favorite spot, the Encino store and grabbed a meal for my whole family. I noticed the menu has great new choices and still very affordable. As I expected my order was completed on time and the quality of the food was the best, I would recommend the new Mexican salad. I keep coming back after all these years for the excellent food and the great costumer service especially at the Encino store.
We've been ordering from here for a few years and the quality has not changed. The salsas are good, the chicken is great, salads are fresh, customer service is good. Definitely a great place to get a meal and not feel bad about it after.
First thing first. Three words that sum up California Chicken Cafe for me would be "Fresh Ingredients always." This is most definitely a go to lunch choice of mine. I try to partake in a California Chicken Cafe salad at least one to two times a week. Very large portioned salads are to be had here. There is basically five salad choices that you can add to or subtract ingredients to suit your taste. Additional vegetables, proteins, pasta, and many other ingredients can be added to your salad for very low additional charges. I usually tack on about three dollars worth of yummies to my salad. My favorite go to salad would be the "California Chicken Salad." Another plus is that the dressings are always served on the side, so the salad travels well. Meaning you can eat it later after driving it back to work, home, etc. California Chicken Cafe also prepares about eight or so wraps with white or wheat pita bread. They also specialize in rotisserie chicken and offer about a dozen sides to accompany a chicken order. You must try one of the five homemade juices featured at the California Chicken Cafe. My favorite is the lemonade. Downloading their App makes ordering easier by keeping your favorite orders stored. They really shuffle you through quickly with their curbside food delivery service. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
They only have curbside pickups for now, so call ahead because they were super busy when I was there. I hadn't been by there in a long time and forgot how tasty their wraps are. Everyone must agree because there was a non-stop line of cars coming and picking up while I was waiting because I hadn't called or apped ahead!
They have the worst quality control. 90% of the time my order is wrong- missing pita, missing pita croutons, missing chicken in the salad, missing a whole salad. It's kind of insane. They will refund if you call, but why can't they just get it right?
Please open a location in Orange county too, it's a bummer I can only go to California Chicken Cafes when I am in LA County. Food is absolutely top-notch, I highly recommend everything here. The to-go orders travel quite well too, which can occasionally be a problem with other restaurants.
I don’t get it… MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR ORDER *I placed an online order assuming it should make the order easy to get things right. However; California chicken cannot read the order right and messed twice! From missing items to completely wrong items. Extremely disappointed because explaining this to the manager she seems to not care.
The Greatest Roast Chicken on the Planet!!!! I love the service and the Veg. Soup out of this world!!!! I can't help it ,this place is so good!! The prices are reasonable
Love the food here and the service is some of the best. Great place to bring the family and they have a excellent menu as well.
