“I cannot recommend Chloe’s Kitchen enough. Fantastic food, exceptional service, and people who clearly care about their customers. Huge shout-out to the employee who went the extra mile for our family... You deserve 10 stars!

Here's why! I recently had an incredible experience at Chloe’s Kitchen in Santa Cruz.

We placed an order later in the evening and mentioned to the staff that my family and I were planning to have our meal at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. After picking up our food and arriving there, I received a call from the restaurant letting me know they had accidentally left one of our bags behind.

What happened next completely blew me away. The staff member immediately offered to bring the missing bag directly to us at the Boardwalk, and she arrived in less than 10 minutes!

That level of care and customer service is incredibly rare. She went above and beyond to make sure our family had everything we ordered, and it genuinely turned a small mistake into one of the best customer service experiences I’ve ever had.

And to top it all off, the food was absolutely amazing.“

“We stopped in on October 11 during happy hour. Being from Michigan, we did not know what to expect. Our daughter, now an Aptos resident, said this was her favorite place for sushi. We could see why! The flavors and variety of items were excellent. Best of all was our server Isabell. She was great; friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Great food, great service. Thank you.“

“Friendly staff and good food closest to island food you're gonna get on the mainland🤙“

“Friendly staff and great food. Wish we were passing every day.“

“Look, it’s not fine dining and maybe not the best for a romantic date night. But if you want a reasonably priced, decently portioned, tasty meal, it’s perfect! Food is terrific for what it is. It might take a try or two to figure out your favorite dish, but it’s worth the experiment. Once you find your order you’ll want it every week!“

“Amazing food! ❤️ cozy atmosphere and the lady that helped us was such a sweetheart. This is will be our go-to place now in Soquel ❤️🫂“

“Fantastic menu and staff are usually in a really good mood. I went with a Cambodian woman and she said the menu was fairly authentic.
I like the steak tips as an appetizer and usually get 3 of them.
A bar is connected next door if you like sports and pool tables add craft beer.
Love this place“

“Wonderful food $. Affordable Fresh Fish. Wishing success in Aptos, try Poki Bowl Aptos!“

“We’ve always loved Akira, but recently their chefs have been taking their sushi game to a whole new level. Very delicious with big portions of food & we have yet to have a roll that we didn’t like. Highly recommend!“
