★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mika Kim · Dec 2025

Stopped by with my husband while walking around the mall near our home, looking for an easy, casual meal. There was a gift card promotion at the entrance and we were told it could be used right away, so we purchased one and ordered our food. Unfortunately, after the meal, the gift card couldn’t be verified, even though we had the receipt and purchase record, so we ended up paying twice, which was frustrating. The manager did step in quickly and explained the situation, and we chose to move on for the sake of keeping things positive during the holiday season. The food itself was good. The zucchini shrimp pasta was very flavorful and easily the highlight, though the portion was quite small for the price. Next time, I’d probably order two or add another dish if i want to have zucchini pasta

★★★☆☆ 3.0 DMV Foodini · Dec 2025

Stopped by CPK after almost a decade - nostalgia hit, so I ordered takeout. Clean location, still has that signature CPK vibe. First order: burger, BBQ chicken mac & cheese, and the original mac & cheese. They forgot the original mac & cheese, so I had to go back. Not ideal. Burger + fries = solid. BBQ chicken mac: cheesy, flavorful, worth it. Original mac? Disappointing. Just a cheese-flavored cream sauce at the bottom—no real cheese. Not acceptable at that price point. Now the good part: Monday & Tuesday $10 pizza deals, $6 kids pizzas, and seasonal promos like the $5 Halloween pizza - great value. I ordered 10 Take & Bake pizzas later. Each came neatly packaged with fresh ingredients, bake-ready in 10 minutes. Perfect for parties or staggered serving. Would reorder. If you’re looking

I have been coming to the CPK at Westfields Mall since 2000. Yes 2000, that how much I enjoy the food preparations and quality of the food. That said, haven't been in state for a while but finally made my way back a few months ago, so I had to order my favorite entree - Jambalaya Linguini Fini, but unfortunately when I arrived home, the portion was almost as if the to-go-order was a children's portion, which I know they do not have. That said, I called and spoke to the restaurant manager named Raheem. He listened as was extremely cordial, polite, and his client services skills was impeccable. Very impressed with his demeanor and delivery over the phone while speaking to him. Raheem was very apologetic and he said that he will make a "Wrong a Right"..!! What a great answer to say to a cli

★★★★★ 5.0 Sandeep Kainth · May 2024

We recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it was truly a delightful experience! The atmosphere was inviting and charming, setting the perfect tone for our meal. Our server was exceptionally attentive and ensured that our group felt well taken care of throughout the evening. Now, onto the best part—the food! Every dish we tried was a culinary delight, but the Tostada Pizza deserves special mention. It's no wonder it has become a staple on the menu; the flavors were sensational and left us craving more. Needless to say, we'll definitely be returning soon to indulge in another memorable dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a wonderful atmosphere, delicious food, and top-notch service!

Haven't been to CPK in years. The overall experience was just okay. The service and atmosphere were great. The dishes we had were just okay, not great and not bad.
