I work right next to Chicken Kitchen and it's the best food around. Those who complained did not try the Garlic Cilantro sauce, because I and the girls I work with could literally drink it! All right. All employees are super and hard working. Super fast and friendly. Chris and Vanessa are great! BTW rice usually has little to no taste, which is why they have a sauce bar to taste. Healthy food does not always come with the best flavors, but Chicken Kitchen makes it consistent. Everyone I see at the back door is that they try. Stop the good workers!

The restaurant offers a modern-style chicken burrito and bowl in a casual setting. It brings back memories of the early Chipotle days, before they reduced portion sizes and started serving mostly gristle. I ordered the Bazooka packaging, and it was enormous! I definitely recommend adding guacamole—my favorite part—for just an extra 40 cents. The dining area was very clean, and the lady who assisted me was really friendly (she’ll get the "cat and Titanic" reference). Some other staff members seemed like they could use a Red Bull or two to perk up. Overall, it’s a fantastic place, and I’ll definitely be returning!

Your Monday deal is a great value. The food was consistently good and relatively fast with one line. My only complaint is if I sent my order with another person... I ordered a Mexican chop chop, but because the staff always ask you what you put on how it moves down, obviously they do not really pay attention to what was ordered and do not put the toppings as listed on the menu, unless you confirm you want them. My Mexican Chop Chop came with none of the blows that make it a Mexican. The only ones I got were the extras I asked I didn't get to the Mexican.

The chicken was fresh and you could see it cooking on a grill. The portion sizes were very big compared to Moe's or Chipotle. All of the vegetables tasted extremely fresh and delicious. The sauce options they had to go along with the meal were also very tasty. I'm going to be visiting this place instead of Moe's.
