Rotisserie Chicken of California — Restaurant in Pasadena

By far the worst place ever! I'm not usually the one who writes bad reviews but for this one I just had too. I went with my coworkers for lunch and ordered a caeser wrap and fries. The fries tasted old and my caesar wrap didn't have any dressing i was willing to keep my food as is all I wanted was dressing for my wrap. So I went to ask for dressing the old man got mad and said he put some in my wrap and if I wanted more i would get charged for it. When I asked why should I get charged an extra 80 cents when the food is already over priced and it wasn't my fault they didn't put any dressing he got all mad and started yelling at me! Really you're going to yell at a customer?? I wasn't going to mention my fries tasting old but since he gave me attitude I mentioned they tasted old, so he grabbed my fries with his bare hands and put them in the pot to refry them. The old man and the cashier kept yelling at me to go sit down and of course I wasn't going to go sit down, the man just touched my food without any gloves or without washing his hand and seeing the anger and how he was pointing at me I was afraid they will spit on my food or something worse. After getting yelled at 3 or 4 times because I refuse to sit down while they "fix my food" I asked for my money back. The lady quickly changed her toned and said honey we are just trying to serve you just go sit down we will take it to your table. Really? Serve me when you and your coworker yelled at me just because I asked for dressing? They told me to never go back and asked for my name, they don't have to worry about it I will NEVER EVER go back to some rude people that can't handle food properly. Thank god I got to see what they were doing to my food before I ate it and got sick. I really hope they didn't give my food to someone else just so they wouldn't waste and...

Friendly service, good food, nice atmosphere. Would definitely eat here again.

I had pretty much the most basic item on their menu, a quarter dark meat chicken. Their dinner meal comes with steamed rice, steamed veggies, and a decent-sized salad (see attached pic). I highly recommend the Japanese honey mustard dressing on the salad, by the way, it was delicious.

The chicken was fall off the bone tender and moist, and I liked the flavors of the seasonings on the skin. I only tried one of their specialty sauces (they have 3 total, but I didn’t realize that until the end of the meal - you have to ask for them to be brought to the table). The one I tried was spicy enough to make my lips tingle a bit, but not so spicy it overwhelmed the taste (which is a common problem for me because I am very, very white).

If you order the hot tea, they’ll bring a mug of very hot water and a wooden box with a sampling of tea bags. Mine had some raspberry herbals, chamomile tisanes, English black teas, and a few types of green tea. I was satisfied.

I will definitely be back to try their specialty entrees like the 32 spice chicken or herb...

What a surprise - wish we discovered RCoC sooner!

PARKING: Street. You could park at Paseo, but don't forget to self validate.

FOOD: -Chicken filet with mushroom sauce: My chicken breast came with a side of zucchini, rice, and mashed potatoes. Portion size is almost enough for two meals for me (I eat multiple times per day i.e. smaller meals). The mushroom sauce was packed full of fresh mushrooms, and the brown sauce had a nice earthy mushroom flavor.

SERVICE: Our waiter was incredibly nice and personable. When Alek slightly hesitated when ordering the japanese mustard dressing on his salad, the waiter was nice enough to assume that Alek didn't know what japanese mustard was (he didn't) and specifically asked for it on the side. SO considerate! He really elevated our dining experience to the next level.

TIP: -Think of this as a dine-in version of Zankou, but much higher...
