Liked the chicken wrap and the chinese chicken salad. ""Ira Todd Klein"" more

I really enjoy the Chinese Chicken Salad here! The chicken is moist and the dressing is to die for! Its my place of choice for lunch bc its not too heavy. Pros: Salads, Light Lunch more

I've tried so hard to like this place, but the food just isn't good. Soggy, overdressed salads, chicken bones in wraps, brown spots on the lettuce. I've sworn it off so many times, but every few months a friend or co-worker will convince me that it was a one-off, or that they've improved. My meal today was the last straw. I ordered a chopped veggie salad, no tomatoes, no croutons, no pasta. Dressing on the side. My co-worker brought it back for me, and (yippee) they got the tomators, croutons and pasta right, but it was dressed. Just a big, soggy, disgusting mess. AGAIN. Yes, my co-worker probably should have checked, however I can't believe the nerve of a restaurant to send out a ""meal"" like that. It's shameful and gross. What a waste of money, time and calories. Don't go there. Cons: food not always made to order - common salads are pre-made in bowls & get soggy more

If you want a healthy and fast option for lunch or dinner check this place out. Their salads are well sized and everything there is made fresh, even the grilled chicken. I always feel good after eating a salad from here and their side dishes are a unique alternative to the usual Pros: fresh fresh food and healthy too! Cons: little parking nearby more

I go to CCC probably once a month whenever I feel like eating something fresh and healthy. I never leave the place feeling disgustingly full, but very content. My favorites would be the chicken wrap and the chinese chicken salad. Though the ambience is v. casual, and it's pretty much self-service, its a great place to go when you want to eat low-fuss, low-price health food. Pros: great healthy eats more

I have eaten at this place 3 times in the last month, there food is always fresh and tasty, and prepared in a healthy manner. My friend swear by there chinese chicken salad, and she order it every time. Would highly recommend!! Pros: Healthy Food, Good Service, Inexpensive Cons: Parking more

This is the beal deal in town. If you're looking for a quick, healthy, and tasty meal - this can't be beat. Used to come here at least once a week when i was in school. I still manage to drop by for a quick take-out meal after work from time to time. They've raised prices slightly in the past year - but still a bargain. Pros: Value more

I'm a big fan of California Chicken Cafe. They offer great, healthy meals that are inexpensive. Call ahead and place your order to avoid the lines. The cobb salad, any of the wraps, and the chicken with spinach pasta and garden salad are my favorites. Pros: Cheap, Healthy, Tastey more

I love eating here for lunch or after a good workout. All the salads are yummy and the portions are generous. Oh, and they bake their own pita croutons! The wraps are the best I've ever had... wrapped tightly with LOTS of ingredients. My favorite is the Primavera Wrap. Their rotisserie chicken is juicy and flavorful. And I can't say enough about the sides. All of them, esp. the Chicken Pasta Salad and the Hot Potatoes, are yummy in your tummy! They even let you get a combo of 3 sides if sides are what you're craving. There's usually a line when you go, so call in your order about 10 minutes before and it should be ready for you when you get there! Pros: Healthy, Delicious Food, Big Portions more

I've been to the location on Melrose; this is pretty much the same. I had a quarter dark chicken plate (3/8, really - they give you two legs and a thigh) The chicken is roasted with herbs and is not overly salty. On the side, I had the vegetable soup, a tomato broth with big chunks of squash, tomato and celery and a bit of rice. The spinach and feta cheese pasta (spaghetti) salad is delicious. I could have just that for dinner and be happy. The parking lot is small (I parked on the street). The tables fill quickly at lunch. Don't waste time in line! Call ahead! Pros: Great chicken, Great soup, Great pasta salad Cons: Crowded , Parking limited , But pros beat cons more

oh man, this place is great!! I always get the combo wrap when I come here, but I have tasted the others as well...and they are all really good!! Wow, I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! the only bad thing...you have to wait a bit to get your food...but that's because of how much business they get... Pros: great wraps! Cons: none near my work, long wait more

I'm always on the look out for some good oriental chicken salad and I must say that California Chicken Cafe is one of the best. The portions are so big that two people can share. The place it self is quite busy and at times you may have to fight for a table. But its worth the trouble. Pros: Great Salad Cons: Parking, Crowded more
