Food/Taste/Flavor: 3/5 - craving some Chili Cheese Fries so stopped by to grab some on top of other food we had. I have fond memories of Rascals growing up in the South Bay area but my previous experiences were only with their teriyaki dishes and the Chinese chicken salads. The fries felt under-cooked so some pieces didn't have the best mouth feel. While the chili was good, it wasn't enough so there were empty fries at the end of the meal. Service: 5/5 - friendly and super quick service even during the end of lunch rush. Ambiance: n/a - ordered food to go. Value for price: 3/5 - at just under $9 for a large order of chili cheese fries, the pricing is cheaper than other locations. However, for the amount of toppings and the quality of food, it's mediocre. Would stick with the chicken/beef bowls in the future.
I walked in 15 minutes before closing time without realizing it and felt bad after finding out they close at 8:30 pm. In spite of it being close to closing time, the cashier was friendly and took our order quickly. The food was fresh and delicious and neatly packaged in a to go box. I ordered the chicken curry plate, which was a lot of food for one person. I would recommend sharing if you are a light eater so it doesn't go to waste. The teriyaki chicken was also delicious and the salad perfect. The menu does have different options, such as hamburgers and hotdogs. Overall, my experience was really good.
AHMAZING Chinese Chicken Salad!!!!! AHMAZING!!!! Did I say amazing!!!! LOVE IT! Super busy place yet they stay consistently delicious, quick, fairly priced and friendly. Clean restrooms too! AHMAZING!!!!
I honestly haven't been to any place like Rascals before. Seems like a mix of cousines. The chicken is very good. Their chicken salad is legendary. This last time I tried the chicken gravy plate. Perfect for a meat loving comfort food type guy like me. And it came with a side of their chicken salad which I destroyed in 30 seconds....yum
Salads are best item on the menu. Chinese Chicken Salad in particular is unlike anything out there. Incredible all around. Staff is super friendly. Wear a sweatshirt if you plan to dine in. They keep the AC super cold even in cold weather.
I really like dining at Rascals. The staff is great. The food is delicious and There is a lead manager there she is so sweet..She gives me a warm greeting and makes me feel welcome every time I visit. I met the owner he was very kind. The only thing is that the dressing that they use on their Chinese salads is so tasty but they want allow you to buy extra salad dressing unless you purchase the entire salad that's the only downside other than that I really enjoy Rascals..
