Natural Style Chicken (Point Loma)

Here you are, looking at mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog.  Kirk and His Missus are really enjoying themselves on their well deserved vacation (I have photographic proof).  Cathy is writing this post. 

I posted about Natural Style Chicken in 2007.  Kirk posted about it in 2014.  It's been more than seven years, the restaurant has survived through Covid and it's time for a revisit post.0805E9C5-B82E-405B-8E01-7A45788E7DB1 At the far (Northeast) end of the mall on the Northwest corner of West Point Loma Boulevard at Sports Arena Boulevard, a few doors down from the original location of Gaglione Bros, is the longstanding (more than 40 years) location of Natural Style Chicken.
7AE82844-BC49-4F5A-B589-D9F02DE01D45 The menu is pretty simple, primarily consisting of rotisserie cooked chicken FB6361FA-5867-4B4B-8462-375E727CFD32 which you can see spinning in the oven at the front window if you arrive early in the morning.
18F459B4-491A-44ED-8309-664CCB9CB8D8 A chicken teriyaki plate ($11.99) weighs close to (if not more than) one pound.  Rice, an iceberg salad and chicken- a LOT of boneless, skinless, tender, juicy rotisserie chicken.  Served with a warm, house-made teriyaki sauce that isn't too sweet and not salty; just right.  An easily shared meal.
BFB0C2F9-8B6D-4A19-95FA-EA053DC0FA78 But, the owner is Korean and there are both kalbi and bulgogi plates offered.  The bulgogi ($14.99) plate is wonderful, with thin sliced, marinated beef, griddled on a stovetop with cabbage, carrot and onion slices.  So tender and so much flavor!  This day we opted for the vegetable/fried rice (+$2) which was made to order with carrot, onion and egg.  Very good (again, the plate was heavy and shared). 
18F459B4-491A-44ED-8309-664CCB9CB8D8 There are a few side dishes on the menu.  The onion rings ($4.99) are an excellent choice.  Hand battered, expertly fried, light, crunchy, not greasy.
36983F01-118C-4BD7-AB43-3EEBF6F5FE80 Chicken Kyoza (Korean gyoza/mandu)(five for 5.99, ten for $8.99) are also perfectly fried dumplings , filled with chicken and cabbage and served with a tart, vinegar-based sauce.  

You can't go wrong here.  Nice people.  Fresh, tasty, good food.

  1. Decades of practice and they really have the fry down right, Soo. The “gyoza” is listed as “kyoza” on the menu to separate it as a Korean mandu (deep fried; not a potsticker nor steamed). Seriously great food here.
