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...
Read moreNever disappoints! The place for everything chicken!The quintessential fast-casual restaurant,their vast selection of chicken-centric dishes vary from chicken piece meals to stuffed wraps to huge salads.The salads and wraps are HUGE so don't worry about not getting full! Along with that are all the sides! So many to choose from (the roasted potatoes and chicken pasta salad are my favorite)! The quality of food and selection is pretty amazing. The variety extends to even the beverages as not only can you choose from sodas but a variety of freshly made teas,lemonade and even two different types of water! In addition, they offer a variety of different of bottles sauces and a few fresh salsa's in their mini salsa bar. The attention to variety is a unique detail you won't find in many fast-casual restaurants but its what sets California Chicken Café apart from many others.Prices are a bit higher than a fast food but not too crazy. Pro tip: don't come during lunch otherwise you'll have to deal with a long line but when in line,grab a menu (they're newspaper style menus hanging on a bar under the observation glass), look it over and make sure you have your order ready by the time you get to...
Read moreFor years I’ve been to the various CCC locations, and I’ve always enjoyed their food, and specially their “Chinese Chicken Salad” my favorite! I would always drive to the nearest CCC, whether I was in Hollywood, the West side, the east or the west valley! And I never had but complements about CCC! But today I was very disappointed, cause I placed an order to be picked up and I drove from Mission Hills to the CCC on Ventura Blvd. in Encino, picked up my order and drove home to have late lunch with my wife, (who by the way loves the salad as much as I do) and to my surprise there was no dressing in either of the two salads! I big disappointment since I believe that “ the dressing makes the salad” I called CCC and talked to the manager who graciously offered to replace the salads today or tomorrow, I rejected the idea due to the fact that I was on the other side of the valley and thanked him for the gesture! Kudos for the manager! Not so much for the person that prepared the salad who’s by the way has the initials “BR” I’ll be checking my orders from now on!!! P.S. Only one star for this...
