“One time when I got food here, the kale slaw was rotten and disgusting. But otherwise everything I’ve gotten was very good. Service is fine. The employee was a little unhelpful when I asked about what was gluten free but I was able to find the info on their website.“

“Wasn't a bad experience but I didn't get the text notification that my order was ready. So I just happened to check and it was. Because of this, my food wasn't as hot as I would have liked. Still would give it another chance, though.“

“Delicious! and great customer service!“

“At the Shertz TX location they changed me $7 for about 6oz of ranch dressing. Blew my mind. Lol drove an hour for the mozzarella sticks and they were out. 😢😢😢 Chicken was good though. Mac and cheese was good as well.“

“Absolutely lovely establishment! One of the best Jollibee locations I have been to.

Sebastien was very attending + helped make the experience very good for my family and I. It is my first time LA and I am thankful for the great food + great service

Everything was also clean, AC just needs to be fixed upstairs I think“

“Food was really good and our favorite dish was the fish sandwich. I came with friends who were visiting LA and we got one of everything on the menu to split. The habanero ranch is a must get. I did not really enjoy the chicken sandwich as the slaw was spicy. I would visit again with any guests who are craving a fancy chicken experience.“

“Muy buena la atención gracias 😊“

“Ordered this place on doordash and it was really good. Theres no ½ and ½ button on doordash but i put it in the notes and got half spicy half soy. The wings were fried perfectly. Rendered dry sky and moist well cooked inside. The soy garlic and spicy Korean were delicious. Not too sweet or artificial tasting. The side is what i would describe as a “deep fried side chex mix” it was onion ring, fries and hand cut potato chips. This was a delight and solid market differentiator. I got 8 wing halves total and the website describes the order as 1lb ranging between 6-8 wings. For the price, i liked getting the full 8 wings. Will be a regular.“

“Let's talk about Los Angeles unified school district. Do not give out graduation certificates. You gotta go online, just to see it. What the second largest school district in the nation and you gotta go online, just to see your diploma. That's weird. Just left a hundred and eighth and normandy“

“This place is amazing. Great ambience and all workers were kind and gave Me great customer service. Honestly this place has the best chicken sandwiches and tenders hands down better than raising canes.
The milk shake is phenomenal way better than in n out. I definitely recommend y’all to try this place at least once.“

“Great food it’s just that my delivery person was too lazy to enter my apartment door code and keeps saying it’s not listed and he’s waiting there and he’s supposed to come up to my apartment door and leave food at the door of my unit and after a while my food was yet delivered where I wanted it except it was placed closer to the unit door next door and not the best photo and placing of the item and I had to put on my clothes to get out of my unit and next thing that I see is the bag of my food and delivery driver supposedly touched a bit of my food and the Brussel sprouts are burnt and not edible and they gave me flour tortillas with corn tortillas and corn is what the site automatically set it to“

“The service could have been better the young lady taking my money could have gotten off the phone just for one moment to have a better conversation with me instead of letting me listen to her conversation instead other than that the establishment is very well clean“

“Very tasty food. Wish they open a location in inland empire. Riverside or Redlands.“

“‽??????????????????,,????“

“I’ve been eating at this place before 1987. I used to take my children here for dinner or lunch on Saturdays. My children are grown and are raising their families now. I am in my Senior years now and moved from that area. However, I still go over there to eat on Saturdays every now and then. One thing I can share with you, is the recipe has never changed. 😎😎“

“Small shop inside the mall but the wings is fabulous. The service is excellent, super nice and friendly. This was our first time try the wings there. We love the Yam fry also, fresh and yummy. Wait 10mins for frying and it worth the wait. Definitely will come back. Very satisfied, thanks for the great food and aervice.“

“10 out of 10 completely. if you're looking for that chicken that just falls into pieces as you take a bite this is a spot to go to it is amazing and tender“

“Friendly customer service. Fresh Hot Food“

“I’ve been coming to the Melrose location for a while now, and every single visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Whether you’re stopping in for their famous rotisserie chicken, wraps, salads, or sides, you can tell they genuinely care about the quality of what they serve.

What truly sets this location apart, though, is the staff. Erwin and Nancy/Nidia are absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to make every customer feel welcome, remembered, and appreciated. Their kindness, professionalism, and positive attitudes create an atmosphere that feels more like visiting friends than just grabbing a meal. Great customer service is hard to find these days, but this team delivers it every single time.

It’s rare to find a restaurant where both the food and the service are consistently outstanding, but Calif Chicken Café on Melrose has mastered both. If you’re looking for healthy, comforting, and delicious food served by people who genuinely care about your experience, this is the place to go. Huge thank you to Erwin, Nancy/Nidia, and the entire team for always making every visit such a great one. Keep up the incredible work—you’ve earned loyal customers for life! 👏🍗🥗❤️“

“I love this place; it’s home to me with great food and staff!!!!“

“Zankou Chicken in the Valley is absolutely fantastic! I had the beef kebab and it was amazing. Meet was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The garlic sauce was addictive, and the portions were generous. The service was quick and friendly, and the food came out fresh. Definitely a must-visit spot for Mediterranean lovers!“

“phenomenal from start to finish, chicken and waffles are the best!“

“Ok so I like thier setup inside the have the grill out separately with a blower taking out the smoke out of the location so you don't leave smelling like charcoal...they're menu is good several options and at least a couple of their plates come with a half baked potato which I really wasn't expecting but I loved it....chicken was cooked throughly no red meat...tasted good....sides are good but macaroni salad tasted food but needs something I added salt...aguas frescas were running low got one tasted good but prevention was lacking they were down to the last cup in those big jugs they need machines or something that circulates the waters keeping them looking as good as they taste...but parking is a little crazy got blocked in but an employee came out when inside and asked one of the other customers to move their car for me...the place just needs to have the ac on but overall the food was really good....service was good but they do get busy....expect a 15 to 20 minute wait on busy days...pick your time wisely but definitely this spot should be on your radar...“

“Delicious food, fried chicken 🐔 the bomb and the pickled veggies are so good. Definitely a place to go in the DTLA area.“

“Came here at 11:44 with a group of 8 others when they said they’re closing at 12 and they were happy to serve us and kept the atmosphere great :)) js appreciate them working a bit over their usual time on the weekend bc this was the only place open nearby so it came in clutch tbh“

“Their charbroiled garlic chicken over fries drenched in garlic au jus is unique and worth the 15 mile drive from home. I normally go to the Pico Union one but this one has easier parking and more seating. They also have more selection but I've never gotten anything but the chicken. It was hot and fresh and as always addicting.“

“Definitely is one of the best spots in Los Angeles area . George the guy taking orders is always helpful and patient 5 stars service ,as for the food .the lady cooking has that love for cooking that you can enjoy in every bite well done guys keep the good job your food is so good!!“

“Chicken is not greasy and their potatoe and macaroni salads are good too :)“

“I had a fantastic experience here! The first thing I noticed was how fresh everything tasted—the chicken and fries were fried to absolute perfection. You can really tell they use high-quality, fresh oil because there was none of that heavy, greasy aftertaste, just a perfectly clean and crisp crunch. To top it all off, the sauce was spot on and paired beautifully with the meal.“

“I’ve never been to this place because the area always scared me but I wish I came here sooner!! This place has one of the best tasting chicken in the area it was so good and the fries were pretty decent. The staff were friendly and give you large portions whenever you want Chinese food so that’s dope! It’s just a shame the area brings the place down.“

“I cannot say enough about the incredible service at CCC Westwood. Maria R. Was fantastic, helpful and so kind. I made a big error on our large order (wrong date) and she corrected it seamlessly. Will absolutely return for the delicious food and top notch service!“

“My husband usually orders pickup for us and it’s so good and fresh every time! Love the comeback sauce! We always order extra for our tenders. We live next door to a Dave’s and we happily make the 15 minute drive over here for this chicken instead (: <3“

“The honey butter chicken was delicious,fresh, juicy, and crunchy. The greens were well seasoned, perfectly chopped, and just a little spicy, good as all get out. The hot water cornbread was excellent as well, definitely worth going out of the way for. I'll be back soon.“

“We had the best waiter, Shorty. He was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and very attentive. He made great suggestions for food and reminded us white truffles were in. They were delicious. He also suggested great wines. They were so delicious we ended buying some to bring home and share with our families. We are looking forward to returning.“

“Great place for friend chicken! � Totally coming back here.“
