Chicken Over Rice co

Fantastic flavor!! We loved this so much that after having it one day we had orders delivered the next day. So good!

Absolutely YAS! Reminds me of the halal lamb over rice in New York this is just the chicken version. The chicken is super juicy and grilled to perfection. Portions are super generous and the place is very clean. I enjoyed this so very much and highly recommend it.

Chicken Over Rice is a gem! The portions are generous, and the flavors are spot on. The chicken is always juicy and perfectly seasoned, paired with fresh rice and toppings that hit the spot. Don’t miss out on the chickpeas—they’re incredibly flavorful and a great addition to any meal. The service is quick and friendly, making it a great place for a casual meal. If you’re craving comfort food with bold flavors, this place won’t disappoint!

Chicken Over Rice is a solid go to for a quick and hearty meal. The bowls are savory and packed with flavor, and it is a great value for the price. Service has always been good and the employees are consistently friendly. I appreciate how reliable the quality is. Every time I have gone, it has been just as good as the last. Definitely recommend when you are looking for something fast, filling, and satisfying.

So happy we decided to try this place! It will definitely be added to our dinner rotation. The food is fresh and flavorful and you can get a little bit of everything. We each got a bowl with chicken, beans, rice, cucumber salad, veggies and three amazing sauces. Great price for the generous portion you receive. Highly recommend!

Food was excellent and very friendly service. Hefty portions, I got the rice as base and all the included toppings. Very hearty, good balance of fresh and spice. I got half spicy*. Didn't bother with posting a picture because all the pictures are for the same one dish they offer haha. Only $15 bucks a bowl. And good for 2 meals unless you're super hungry.

This is the absolute best chicken bowl! Everything amazing! I’m already plan my next visit and I’m still eating.

If you’re in the area, HIGHLY recommend stopping here!! The food was amazing and so fresh, and the owner was extremely nice!! The menu is simple which makes ordering extremely easy. My husband and I were staying in OB for the weekend for a concert and wanted a quick lunch before heading home. We’re so glad we stopped here!! The portions were also huge for the price.

Absolutely stellar! This might be my new favorite finds in San Diego! The menu is super straightforward where you choose your base of rice, salad, or pita and served with chicken, chickpeas, lettuce, onion and parsley, cucumber salad, pickled onions, Peperoncino, garlic sauce, hot sauce, and taziki sauce. The chicken was generously portioned, perfectly chargrilled, great flavor, and most importantly, it was juicy! I would come back just for the chicken alone! As for the veggies, I could taste how freshly made all the ingredients were in house. The sauces were also nicely balanced where it wasn't too saucy but still packed a lot of flavor. I would absolutely recommend this place as it's no frills, quality and fresh ingredients, and very friendly staff. My new favorite lunch spot in OB!

Delicious, I found this spot from a coworker and have found that this a go to when it comes to lunch meals. Delicious, fresh, and healthy. I usually get the chicken and salad option. Service is always fast and friendly. Definitely recommend this spot.

Delicious and filling meal. Got the standard rice / chicken bowl. $15 + tax. I think they might have forgotten about the pepperoncinis since I asked for no onion, not sure. Either way it was still delicious, I was starving and I couldn't finish the whole bowl, saved the rest for later. They are a little heavy handed with the sauces which was fine because it made the bowl so creamy. There were a few pieces of my chicken that had cartilage but I just spit them out. Would love to come back and try the bowl again with pepperoncinis and pita bread. I'm not sure if I have to ask for a side of it, I didn't see it on the menu. About 8ish bar stools and a couple tables inside. Small spot but worth the visit.

I was thrilled when I discovered this place offers a Mediterranean twist to chicken over rice. When I tell you each & every ingredient in their bowl had so much flavor! The chickpeas were delicious and flavorful and their chicken was seasoned just right. Plus who doesn't love pepperoncinis?! The spicy & garlic sauce were a great finish. Highly recommend this spot if you visit OB

First tried the rice bowl at the OB Farmers market. The first bite was amazing. I didn't expect so many flavors from one bite. Decided to try another bowl from the store location and it was just as good. I eat chicken and rice almost everyday and this bowl is next level.

Saw this place on Hot and New on Yelp and decided to give it a shot. We were immediately greeted by the staff and he was really sweet! We saw him preparing the order before us and JAW DROPPED by the amount of chicken he was scooping. It's basically one thing on the menu but you can choose to have either pita, salad, or rice. I recommend the rice with EVERYTHING on it. He gives HEAPING scoops of chicken. It's $16ish with tax but SO WORTH IT. Leftovers for days. It's so good and fresh and I can't wait to come back. The place is cute and clean. Some tables inside and outside.

A Filipino restaurant used to occupy this suite on Sunset Cliffs Blvd in OB which is now the home of Chicken Over Rice. The set of businesses at this address has a shared dedicated parking lot behind the structure with over a dozen spaces available. The inside of the suite had only a few tables and a countertop with stools near the front window for seating. The menu was as simple as I had seen for a brick-and-mortar eatery. It was a Mediterranean-style bowl with a base of rice, pita, or salad for $15. The included toppings were chicken, chickpeas, lettuce, onion, parsley, cucumber salsa, and pepperoncini. You could order some of the ingredients as a la carte sides. Soda and water were the available drinks. My bowl had rice as the base while I asked for the three sauces (garlic, hot, tzatziki) in small cups instead of being mixed in. The order was quickly prepared and placed in a takeout paper bag. I ended up using just the garlic and tzatziki sauces to enhance the flavor of the bowl. The cucumber salsa had a unique taste while the rest was fairly standard. I don't know if you could order a veggie version for a lesser price, but then why come here when their focus is on chicken as the main ingredient?

Amazing! Saw a review on the morning KUSI news.. We had to try. Small quant little spot in Ocean Beach. The menu, is Simple and it's really all you need.. You choose three ways; from rice, pita or salad. Chicken. And several different toppings. I chose all of the above and I encourage you to. The rice was perfectly fluffy. Chicken , well seasoned and the toppings/ sauce. (Garlic sauce , hot sauce and TZAKTZIKI Muah! So fresh! The portions were large and filling. This cozy little spot is new in town. Stop by and check it out. You won't be disappointed.

The food was fresh & fantastic! Flavorful. Helpful employee. Not good for a romantic dinner. Great grab & go potential.

Really fresh food! I like the rice base, but the pita base looks delicious too (it's my sister's fave)

Yum! I don't know how they season their chicken, but it's amazing! Great portion size and you can customize your bowl however you want. Can't wait to go back!

Great option for a fast and healthy option. The bowl was filled with so much chicken and so much veggies. The sauces were so good too. As someone who is very sensitive to gluten I can confidently say this place is gluten free safe.

Great food and service! I've tried it a few times and it's always good and fresh. I need to try the other items in their menu. I would recommend it if you're looking for healthy and tasty food.

I got a bowl at the farmers market on Wednesday and it was pretty good. The serving size was pretty generous thankfully since it was over $16. I wasn't a fan of the mint taste which I think was from the cucumber salad. The girl taking money was not happy to be there. They charge extra to use a card but don't mention the fee. I was charged $16.24 and then someone added a tip onto my card and over $19 came out of my account. I stopped in to the restaurant before heading out of town and luckily the guy working gave me the $3 I didn't authorize being charged for. Because of that shadiness I would never buy anything here again.

Small restaurant with inside seating and very clean. It's like a Mediterranean chipotle, if you will. The menu is limited but the chicken is fresh and my experience was not dry like others have stated in previous reviews. $16 for a rice bowl which is a bit pricey but you can really taste the quality in the food. The bowls are a really good size and Ebo (sp?) was super nice in helping us out for our first time. I do agree with him that we will be back. They just opened in January and it is worth a try. Their chickpeas are particularly delicious.

First stumbled onto Chicken Over Rice while at the OB farmers market. Long lines for food there usually means the food is delicious and I was right! COR is a a great local take on quick Mediterranean. Simple menu with your choice of pita, rice, salad or a mix. Big portions, awesomely seasoned chicken, fresh toppings, and great for a quick lunch/dinner when in the area. They even cater events if needed. Definitely stop in to try it out!

Amazing spot! Fresh ingredients, amazing flavor & great portions. Beyond the obvious star of the show, their chicken, the cucumber salad and onions were so delicious & a great topping. Love that they add banana peppers. Inside is super clear & there is high top seating as well as a few small tables. Also if you're dairy free, just ask for no tzatziki. Come & support this new spot in OB!

The food is fresh and tasty!! The service is super friendly and the place is clean!! What else do I need?? Nada!! Just want fresh delicious food and consistency! Definitely a must try!

This place offers a delightful and straightforward dining experience. The food is not only simple and delicious but also served in a clean and efficient manner, making it an ideal spot for a quick meal. The prices are very reasonable, providing great value for the quality of food you receive. Whether you're in a hurry or just looking for a no-fuss meal, this restaurant is a fantastic choice. I truly appreciate the wonderful food and service. Thank you!

Great service and vibes. Food was on point. Menu is very simple and eye appeasing. I recommend if you on that Mediterranean diet and overall want a great chicken bowl.

Highly recommend this place! The bowls are great every time and the staff is very nice. Very filling and a great price point when food has steadily increased in prices in grocery stores and restaurants. They have some seating to dine in and food is easy peasy for take-out as well. If you're in OB or Point Loma and want a healthy and filling meal, this is the place!

The best Mediterranean bowl I've had in a while. One thing on the menu and they do it right!!! I got my bowl over rice. They don't skimp on anything, especially the chicken!! Filling and had leftovers. Perfect spot to take over to sunset cliffs and watch the sunset (even on a cloudy day).

Really good portion and great ingredients. Can't wait to get it again. Love the location too

I kept driving by it and would think to myself, "Pretty simple idea but maybe too simple." Decided to give it a try today and I was not disappointed. Like a Chipotle Chicken bowl but better. The chicken is way better than Chipotles. I got rice base and then everything (minus hot sauce) with it. This is a solid protein bowl if that's what's you're looking for. I'll definitely come back.

This place is SO good! Great addition to the OB restaurant scene! Staff is super friendly and accommodating. A great place to grab dinner to go for a family. We get a la carte items to make bowls for our three boys, but the fully loaded rice bowls are absolutely delicious!

This is one of my favorite places to eat in all of San Diego. As a bodybuilder, we are very health conscious on what we eat but you can easily eat here and still fit it within your diet and macros without it being a cheat meal. Chicken, rice and lots of vegetables. AND to top it off, the portions especially on the chicken is amazing. I would compare it to getting double meat if you were to go to Chipotle but honestly screw Chipotle just come here. The chicken is cooked well and very flavorful plus the sauces they have are so good. Service is awesome too and the workers are so chill, they fit the location of OB haha. Everyone in OB is so down to earth and cool which is why I love to hang out down there.

I don't even eat chicken and I loved it. Asked for the best vegetarian bowl with rice and was blown away by the taste and amount. Don't let the name fool you, they have great vegetarian options

This is a delicious little restaurant in the OB area. The ingredients are always fresh and the chicken is always tender and cooked to perfection. I usually get the sauces on the side but love the BBQ sauce as well as the garlic. If your trying to eat something healthy for lunch or dinner don't pass this spot up.

Ate twice at this place and both times it gave me diarrhea badly I don't know if it's the mint or what's wrong with this place but the chicken is not well cooked or overcooked or have spices it did not agree with me and won't be back plus it's overpriced it's almost $20 for a chicken with rice for extra chicken $4

Best Catering kit. Super tasty, crowd pleaser! Vegetarians loved the chickpeas. Others loved the chicken.

So happy to have a delicious, healthy and quick food option in OB. I'm veggie and love the chickpea option and my husband likes the chicken.

Best marinade EVER! The workers don't even know what's in it because it's so secret:)

Dry chicken, not cooked to order and not held at safe temp. You'll be healthier eating off a roach coach. And the owner is a piece of work too.

Absolutely delicious. Just came here with my brother and mom and we each got different bowls. Great quality food, delicious flavors. We will definitely be back.

This place is BOMB. Come hungry. Ask them to make a traditional bowl. It's perfect. So delicious.

Healthy and delicious ! Totally addicted! Owner is awesome ! I love the chicken over salad and also over rice, which also has some salad in it - I usually get two meals out of one bowl!

If you're thinking of going to CAVA, drive to OB and come here instead. It's worth it.

I'm always trying new local spots for lunch I was trying to go next door to Hugo's for a burrito but I stood there for 5 minutes and no one acknowledged me so I went next door to chicken over rice. I was pleasantly surprised imagine a fresher chipotle bowl with bigger peices of chicken. for lunch it was a perfect healthy meal if your looking for something to grub give it a shot.

We had the rice bowls with everything. Very fresh and delicious! Loved that it's all gluten free for me (other than pita). We will be back.

Good, I got chicken rice bowl with everything. Next time I would do sauces on the side because it was a tad too saucy for me. Wish there was more protein tho.

Service: Good take out service. Nice guy behind counter prepping food. Very friendly and patient. Food: Just okay. Ordered 2 rice bowls. 2/3 rice, about a cup of chicken, some chickpeas, some cucumber salsa and onions. I asked for sauce on the side. The bowls were just as I ordered however nothing in the bowls was very flavorful. I was expecting some nice mediterranean spices but was disappointed. This place is a lot like the Chipotle concept....build your own bowl however in my opinion it is overpriced. $15 for mostly rice. I probably won't be back in the near future.

Greeted with a smile - food looks delicious. Much better than the bowl or the joint- way nicer people

A random happenstance. This place is amazing, local, and delicious! Definitely try it!

So happy that Chicken Over Rice now has a physical location! After trying them at the OB farmers market, I immediately fell in love. Service, as always, was quick but wonderfully conversational. Can't wait to make this my new go-to!

The food is really good and the owner is nice, I recommend. I have tried the original bowl with rice as the base, filling and delicious.

"Just hit up 'Chicken Over Rice' in Ocean Beach - total gem! Super cozy vibes, and their chicken and rice with all greens? Just wow! Service is fast, Great prices, hefty portions. A must-try spot in the area. Can't wait to go back!"

The staff and owner are friendly and professional. The food is delicious and healthy. Strong recommend.

Love this place ! Bowls are always delicious and staff is very friendly. Glad to have them in our neighborhood!

Great new spot in ocean beach. Simple menu, and you can't go wrong. Would highly recommend.
