I wanted to try stuffed chicken combo, but it was sold out around 5:30pm, so ordered chicken of the day instead. I liked corn salad and marinated beets as sides. I had a full meal for only $8. Staff members ( probably owners?) are very kind and nice.

The village food court is an extremely tough market. Each place has the difficult task of standing next to manpuku, the gold standard for value, variety and quality. I can say with complete confidence that Helena’s kitchen stands on its own in each category. The stuffed chicken, if you can get it fresh, is satisfying the same way catching up with an old friend is. Get the cabbage and barely salads as well.

Big portion sizes for a good price. I paid $9.95 (tax included) for a big slice of spinach pie and 3 sides. Everything tastes great and the couple running the kitchen were nice. Will definitely be back to try other things on the menu.

The reviews were so high, so I had super high hopes, but it was just okay, not amazing. The food was good, but nothing special; it was cold, and the presentation wasn't great.  Plus, the service was a bit unfriendly.  The price was fair, though.

I came here a couple times for lunch and the food is always delicious and reasonably priced. For less than $9, you get a stuffed or grilled chicken breast, and 3 sides. There are a ton of really healthy options - I particularly like the barley, beet salad, carrots, green beans, and broccoli. They also have some really good quiches and meat pies.

The couple that work here are lovely and always serve your food with a smile. Highly recommend this place if you want something healthy and cheap!
