Zankou Chicken — Restaurant in Thousand Oaks

Walked in and it was empty. Girl at counter greeted us by saying “what do you want” in extremely broken English. My husband asked for manager as we had questions on this location.

She told a guy in kitchen we wanted mngr and he refused to come talk to us. My husband asked again and then he approached the counter and spoke no English.
