The overall experience eating here was good. The Thai pizza was particularly enjoyable; personally, I appreciated the addition of peanut sauce, akin to the divisive but beloved pineapple pizza. However, the banh mi power bowl, while satisfyingly filling, missed the mark in capturing the essence of a true banh mi. With only three ingredients overlapping with the classic banh mi and lacking pickled vegetables, renaming it an 'Asian-inspired salad' might be more fitting. On a sweeter note, the key lime pie was absolutely delicious.

Went there at 11 am on Easter Sunday with a group of 8. Service was excellent, and food tasted great. Didn't have to wait. It was a very predictable CPK experience, and everyone in the group enjoyed the meal!

CPK has been one of my favorite restaurants for years. Maybe it was this particular location, but it missed the mark on our last visit.1. Where we sat, the floor was so dirty. Food under the table and it was just so unpleasant.2. My cup, bread dishes, all had food scraps. I didn't even ask for new ones cause it looked under staffed.3. Kids meat sauce spaghetti literally didn't have any meat in it.I requested my salad without dressing but it came tossed with dressing.

They didn’t have two of three soups listed on menu.They didn’t have Parmesan cheese for Caesar salad.Who does the inventory here?!Food was mediocre at best.The most earnest thing? Listening to waitresses profusely apologize in hopes their tips aren’t penalized for poor management!Bathroom wasn’t clean.Parking: In a strip mall; plenty of free parking.

So I ordered the Chicken Piccata which was good but I there needed to be more pasta than capers in my opinion. Also I was confused why we didn't get bread with oil?

We went there Saturday around 4pm, not too busy hour. Though the restaurant wasn't crowded, it took a while for the receptionist to seat us. The tall male receptionist with super curly hair was very rude, treated us like we are very inconvenient to him. First he offered us to seat on very high bar chair and table though he saw my 6 year old son next to me. As I asked for lower table, he was hesitant and ended up offering a wobbly center table in the middle of the restaurant, stating there is no other available table due to the availability of servers. As soon as we seat, he put other customers in the tables that we originally asked for. We've been to this restaurant many time and it is usually good. But I'm writing this exceptional incident hoping the restaurant will do something about this guy.

The service was great and the food was delicious! I online ordered their five cheese & tomato pizza with a gluten free crust. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy by making my pizza on a separate tin & changing their gloves. I have Celiac so I need to be careful with shared cooking surfaces & I fully trusted this location to honor that. I was able to make the pizza last a few days because there were 6 slices. I really enjoyed it!

This place is just a short walk from my house, which is awesome! I can sit at the bar, order some food and a drink, and sometimes read a book or watch a game. The atmosphere is perfect for all of that. The food is delicious, and you can't go wrong if you're craving pizza, salads, or even pasta.But I have to say, my favorite dish isn't on the menu anymore. I hope they bring it back soon. It was the Korean spicy spaghetti, and it was amazing.
