This is a neat little place I found on Yelp when I was craving some Chinese food. Portions could be a little bit more generous, but it was very flavorful. I'm looking forward to trying other dishes. I tried the veggie dumplings because they were out of chicken. I don't know what was in it, but it looked like minced kale? The soy sauce was ridiculously salty, it's like drinking from the dead sea. Very fast and friendly service. Beautifully decorated inside.

Food: this place is definitely not authentic, very American spin on the food. I would skip the dan noodles, it was WAY too sweet and awful! Ma Po tofu was solid and the dumplings were mid Service: Food comes out VERY slow, and one by one. Atmosphere: is modern and very clean Price: overpriced for mediocre food, understandable bc it’s downtown santa monica and touristy

Found this rotisserie chicken place near work. Juicy chicken and side dishes. Can only pick up food at side window. No place to sit down and eat. Order online for faster service.

On a recent visit to California Chicken Cafe on Wilshire Blvd., our experience was nothing short of fantastic. The Chinese Chicken Salad was absolutely delicious and the Roasted Potatoes were packed with flavor. Beyond the amazing cuisine, what truly made our visit unforgettable were two exceptional team members: Pedro and Alvin. Their warm, attentive service and genuine hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome and cared for. They went above and beyond to ensure our meal was perfect! We will definitely be back!

The best value for a hearty and healthy meal on the Third Street Promenade! Excellent variety of vegetables and proteins for just $13. Everything is gluten free, so it’s perfect for guests with allergies. Pleasant seating area and a nice option of fountain sodas, iced tea and water.

Tried bibibop for the first time and it was a very pleasant experience. The staff was super friendly and helpful guiding me through each menu option, and recommended the bbq beef as the most popular protein. I pretty much got everything in my bowl and highly recommend adding sweet potato noodle! It’s bouncy and absorbing texture binds all the flavors very well and make the meal fulfilling and satisfied. Overall this is a very heathy option as you get decent serving sizes of veggies and healthy carb (kale and salad as base, topped with cucumber, kimchi, potatoes, corn, chickpeas, etc). The whole bowl costs around $15 and can be finished in two meals if you aren’t super hungry.

I cannot thank enough Bella and the whole Chinois on Main team for the amazing surprise 60th birthday they helped me organize for my husband! Bella worked me over few months to finalize menu, help me find enterntainment, set up the room for the event... they did everything. All we had to do is invite our guests and show up. Everyone loved the food - 7 dfferent appetizers, each one done to perfection; main course my favorite short rib and the fried fish with bunch of sides and of course the best Chinese chicken salad in LA. They ended everything with the most beautiful platters of various desserts! We will remember this day forever and it will not have been what it was without the care and professionalism of Bella, Krassi and the whole Chinois team - from the cook that we had, to the bartender, waiters. etc. THANK YOU!

The food was unenjoyable, especially considering this is a branded restaurant. Appetizers were reminiscent of Panda Express. One of them was identical to Beijing beef. However, we were randomly served a calamari arugula salad on the house, which was possibly the best part of the dinner. For our main course, the duck was gamey and was dressed with an equally unseasoned and bitter cranberry sauce. Our final total as charged was also significantly more than what we signed off on at the restaurant. Maybe the calamari salad wasn’t on the house after all? We aren’t sure. Cannot recommend, and very regrettably will be wary of other Wolfgang Puck restaurants if the reviews and actual experience are going to be so misaligned.

You shouldn’t go if you deserve good food. Their portion is small and tastes not good. Pho soup has no taste, they might use cheap broth, herbs weren’t fresh. Fries are greasy and too much mayo. You should check the bill carefully, they charged +$5 on the menu price of each. The staff was slow. He took over 10 mins to bring water, actually he didn’t, another staff brig it. Over 15 mins to collect my cc.

WHATEVER UPU DO, DO NOT HOST A PARTY HERE. The food is good but I didn’t rate it since they ran out of food an hour before the contracted time and I didn’t get any. The event manager was trash- did not do what was talked about, difficult to find to fix issues throughout the event, and the promised floor plan that never got sent wasn’t what we talked about either. The flow was terrible since they did what they wanted. Terrible communication. When I tried to work this out, they admitted to not getting quality service but then ghosted me. The boss did not respond once to my emails to work this out. It’s too bad since the space is pretty (I didn’t get to use the pretty outside even though I had a completely buyout) due to some sprinkles of rain) and the food is good- but oh wait I didn’t get any but that’s what I heard. They are so unprofessional. What is the point of an event manager if they don’t manage things? I had to do my own research and booking for the vendors too. You can do better. DO NOT HAVE AN EVENT HERE. My event was ruined as well as my experience. I will not get it back and I was celebrating a health milestone. Not acceptable.

This is beautiful inside. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly service. We got pad Thai to-go and it was sooo good! I got chicken, my husband got shrimp. Both were wonderful and enormous portions. Kind of expensive, but worth it.

One of my favorite foods is From Thailand, this was an experience unlike any other I do recommend some other Thai restaurants but this has taken over . The soup was so flavorful the service as if I walked in a four seasons, hotel restaurant the food look like artwork and was plentiful. You could see the love from the kitchen in the food. I highly recommend this place for an unbelievable experience in Thai food. Lychee iced tea was one of our But the food was superb. I can’t say enough about it ❤️

This could've been a 5 stars but the service was a bit interesting. I'll start with the positives though. Phenomenal food!! The Chickpea Curry, the Mapo tofu and the Kaya Toast were all very delicious. Everything was bursting with flavor, was spiced correctly and just felt so homey. Honestly, everyone should eat here because the food is that good. Where things were lacking though was the service. It seemed like we were being rushed and there was so much space still available. I do have to say, it wasn't as pricy as we thought it was going to be either which was a nice plus.

Cassia is such a solid spot—I’ve been maybe 5 times over the past 5 years, and the food is always on point. The flavors are bold, the dishes feel creative but not over-the-top, and everything’s just consistently tasty. Last night, they surprised us with some complimentary desserts at the end of the meal, which was such a sweet touch. The only thing I’d say is that it’s a little pricey, so maybe not an every-week kind of place, but totally worth it for a nice date night or celebration. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Santa Monica when I’m looking for something reliable and delicious.”

The environment was friendly and welcoming, and I truly enjoyed my meal here. I'm hoping for the opportunity to return. The food tasted great, and I was delighted that my first attempt at the Braised Beef Noodle Soup wasn't too spicy, finding it pleasantly mild.

Their newest store. Beautiful place. Too bad it was overcast with the fog rolling in tonight, but I can imagine the entire outdoor seating area packed on a warm sunny day, or balmy evening, with cool ocean breezes. Prime location. Decor: I love the circular XLB steam container theme throughout the main dining (ceilings and booths.) Very cool. I also love the high ceiling with frosted glass panels to allow natural light. Though it was too cold to sit outside, I look forward to coming back during the day for lunch. Have lunch then spend the day around the SM Pier boardwalk, or 3rd Street.Promenade 1 block away. The food was as consistent as usual. The 5 of us ordered a lot of food. 20+ dishes. See photos. Looks familiar because the food is consistent. The service was very good. Golan was our waiter. Great smile and service. They've only been open since Valentine's Day, and DTF is reservations only right now. But I heard they're working on opening up for walk-ins in. April.

I love their slight remodelled interior and it's always been a pleasure coming here! The Panda Express has always been my occasional go to and their employees are very kind, often tired from working so hard! They do a great job tho, I don't know how they manage to pull through some tough shifts around heat lamps all day! I do recommend coming here for a tray of tasty noodles, rice, and a good assortment of entree options like their classic orange chicken or broccoli beef or something like that! Wonderful restaurant!

Came 1 hour before closing and they have nothing! Almost No entries at all. No orange chicken, no beef, no shrimps, no chow mein , etc. When I asked when orange chicken will be ready I was told “Soon!”. Very “Nice” fast food business. The staff was rude. PS. They made orange chicken 10 minutes later after I complained, so you can see it on picture, cause I came back later to take pictures.

3.5 on taste alone but bumped up to 4 because I appreciate the convenience and decent priced availability T's Thai offers. As alluded to above, I didn't think the food was rave worthy (not to say that it was bad though). I ordered my usuals - pad Thai, pad see ew, and (red) curry. All tasted pretty good and better to have in the area than not in my opinion. I only did delivery, so cannot speak for the service or the ambiance.

Great restaurant for Santa Monica I’ve eaten here 10 times over the last 10 years. Their food isn’t too expensive given that everything in Santa Monica is outrageous. It’s hot and freshly cooked. They have lunch specials for about $14 highly recommend.

This place doesn't look like much, but this hole in the wall is my go-to when it comes to pineapple & shrimp fried rice, and the other dishes never disappoint. It's a great little place. The only thing, it's take out only, unfortunately. Besides that, there s nice women to take your order or call and pick up. Oh, and they hook it up pretty well for the price. Enjoy

Reliable Chinese Food. Although it's not the best, it's a good value compared to the panda. Their lunch specials are worth it, and their sweet and sour pork is decent. Take Out Only. No Dine-in.

Great and friendly service but terrible food. It's over seasoned expired frozen food. I had diarrhea within 6 hours. I got the Hawaiian BBQ combo plate and it wasn't BBQ at all, just flash fried pre-seasoned meat put on the grill for a few moments. I don't know why cheap Asian/Chinese food spots keep selling trash like this. I was expecting a hidden gem or something similar to Hawaiian BBQ but it was crap.

I’m a local food critic and I love this place from the customer service to the food. It’s all smiles here and great food. Not bad parking either. Come here to eat before our beach trip. My girlfriend loves the food here too. Great first time try.
