Crack Shack Century City

This 5,200-square-foot eatery is positioned along the edge of the shopping center and takes full advantage of its open-air setting with communal seating and a spacious outdoor patio designed for games and flexible gatherings.

A suspended wood bar soffit, framed with tube steel rods, LED lighting, and custom breeze blocks, anchors the space and strengthens the indoor-outdoor connection. Inside, custom artwork and murals by Matt Forderer introduce playful chicken-themed graphics that tie into the local sports culture.

The restaurant also features Los Angeles’ first Moët & Chandon vending machine, offering a memorable contrast to its signature fried Jidori chicken menu. The design balances irreverent personality with thoughtful detailing, delivering a guest experience that feels both relaxed and refined.
