Chinese Chicken Salad


2008 Zagat Guide
“We call it “Chinese Chicken Cafe” after its signature salad – “tangy” with “tender” and “crispy” rotisserie-cooked meat – crow customers of this “bargain” American chain that also serves up “fresh”, “fantastic wraps” for a “packed” crowd of “fit people” ordering from the “efficient” counter; most maintain it’s “fast-food heaven.”


2007 Zagat Guide
“Why aren’t there more of these?” wonder devotees of this quick-service American chain slinging “juicy” rotisserie chicken “hot right out of the oven”, plus “filling wraps”, “crisp salads” and “great butternut squash”; it’s “the future of fast healthy food” to fans, and it “won’t break the bank” to boot, but the frustrated find them “as crowded as the DMV” (“insiders know to call in their order”).


2006 Zagat Guide
“Worshippers” grovel at the “righteous rotisserie” of this fiendishly popular mini-chain, braving a “madhouse atmosphere” for the “best Chinese chicken salad in town” and for other “low-fat, low-priced” poultry and American sides that are ideal “for takeout after a long day at the office” or “for people who don’t want to cook”; there’s “absolutely no decor” and the lines can be “long”, so “call in your order ahead of time” to get in and out faster.


2005 Zagat Guide
Perhaps the “most delicious chicken you’ll ever have for under $10” is served at this mini-chain supplying roasted, wrapped and salad versions of the bird along with “amazing”, “wholesome” sides like butternut squash and “great vegetarian choices”; the digs are “utilitarian” and “crowded” at lunch, but the “fast” service makes it “better for takeout.”


2004 Zagat Guide
The bird is the word at this “inexpensive” chicken chain that “blows away pretenders” with “fresh, healthy” poultry dishes, from “perfect rotisserie chicken” to some of the “biggest wraps” around, and a “nice ranges of sides”; “long lines” and “noisy, crowded” rooms contribute to make it a “great take-out” choice of many.


2003 Zagat Guide
“Long lines” and “cafeteria-style décor” “be damned” because this “cheap” outfit “for the no-carb set” is one of “the best chicken chains” in town, serving up “awesome Chinese and Caesar salad” versions, a “fantastic rotisserie” number, “hard-to-beat wraps” and a “wide variety of sides”; in sum, “a perfect weekday dinner”, if you “call ahead.”


2002 Zagat Guide
“Freshly cooked”, “cheap”, “yummy” dishes earn approving clucks for this “always crowded”, “healthy fast-food” poultry concept; “cute guys, girls and cops” all perch here for “quick” meals of “excellent” Chinese chicken salad, “heavenly”, “juicy” rotisserie chicken and “good wraps”, along with “lots of choices for sides.”


2001 Zagat Guide
If it clucks, they serve it at this “always crowded”, kind of “healthy” chicken chain that garners much praise for its “reliable” “short-order” dishes – the “best” roasted chicken, Chinese chicken salad, chicken burritos, chicken wraps, chicken pasta, etc.; another reason to go: “Cameron Diaz eats here.”


2000 Zagat Guide
A “fresh”, “quick” and “reasonable” fowl concept that’s home to enough chicken dishes to give the Colonel pause: “awesome chicken Caesar”, “an indulgence of Chinese chicken salad”, “best rotisserie chicken”, “great chicken wraps”, etc.; the “loud”, “sterile” settings prompt many to “take out and be happy.”


1999 Zagat Guide
This “perfect and cheap” fowl concept is home to many dishes of the chicken persuasion: “chicken Caesar salad to die for”, the “best rotisserie chicken”, “great Chinese chicken salad”, chicken wraps that “rock” and so forth; there’s “always a line” but not for the setting – “décor? what décor?”
