Hen House Grill - Irvine

The biggest turnoff was seeing straight tap water from sink being used for tea. See uploaded image. Why not spend a couple of grand on a nice water filtration system for the restaurant? I suppose the owner felt the customers can’t tell or taste the difference after eating the food lol.. The Japanese in Japan actually have a special filter for tea,coffee and rice. Literally 3 different types of water filters. Here in Irvine straight tap water and local tap water is recycled water which is used from sink to fill tea container??

I’ve been going to this place for over a decade now when they’re at a different location, quality of the food is good as always, it’s like kababi( small restaurants for quick food In Iran! Koobideh is number one hitter but kale pache will surprise you as much!Food: 5/5

I have been driving all the way from San Diego to Irvine, just to have Hen House kale pache for many years now. I love their excellent, warm, friendly staff. They make me feel welcomed each time.I have tried all the items in their menu for all these years. It's just getting better and better ?

Just ate here for 2nd time. I hate it when kabobs sit in the back and come out not hot. Ate half of it and left. I did notice other orders came out hot. Sad that mine was probably sitting for 5 min before being served..I was by the counter and picked up asap but still not hot. I may try a 3rd time but probably not..many other choices in town. Taste was just ok..ordered the beef koobideh. Price is ok $13 for a single skewer and bread. The side salad at $9 is expensive but decently fresh..though clearly sat in a fridge for a while. The bread is good.
