Chicken Shops near Fountain Valley, CA

“Tried this gem for the first time today! Fall off the bone chicken and salmon Alfredo with fresh vegetables was delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious. Definitely a new favorite!“

“The owner was so sweet. I ordered two things to eat in the restaurant knowing well that I’d take the extras home. So, the owner suggested that I order to go so the packaging would be better. She brought my food to me and let me know that I can also get more pickled radish as desired. When she saw that I was done eating, she brought over more radish and helped me pack up my food. It was a great experience!“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“Drive thru today. Quick ordering. My bucket of chicken, cole slaw, and biscuits were ready without much delay. Chicken and slaw were tasty, no issues.
Price. No more pre-pandemic, pre $20/hr wage specials like $5 meals. Everything's $10-15 for a fried chicken meal, and bucket meals $30-50~. Bucket deal on 12 piece was $20 today, $30~ with a large cole slaw and 2 biscuits.“

“Staff was great , Victor was awesome working tuff, love my app and fast pick up . Accurate every time . This app is now my favorite restaurant app. I find all the staff around town locations are very good staff , friendly smiles , only the grumpy come in and test them . They handle .“

“El pollo está muy rico lo recomiendo.“

“Best Tacos in Town! Love this place for tacos and burritos!“

“The burgers were amazing- so tender and juicy for a default medium/medium well burger! The fried chicken sandwich was also so juicy and yet crispy, in fact I think my friend and I both preferred that, please don’t tell the owners! Just kidding..but it was great. Very light batter, but just enough crunch. The mochi waffle was yummy, and the combo of hot waffle and cold ice cream was uber-comforting. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a simple but extremely well thought-out meal.“

“Halal spot ; We were on the way to South back home and stop by this restaurant for our light dinner.
I think it’s family owned and the prices are pretty reasonable. The staff were very friendly, and assisted us in ordering. Everything turned out good, they were super nice providing us extra condiments, etc. Be sure to select your spice level wisely cuz we ended up in tears, but we still enjoyed it though.

We hope that we can visit this place again next time we are on the way back from north
** hoping for a new branch near San Clemente soon.. we will be your regular customers“

“Amazing food and service!“

“was amazing. First. Moist fried 🍗. Mom and Pop place. check them out..“

“I recently visited bb.q Chicken in Costa Mesa and had a great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, which made for a welcoming atmosphere. The portions were just right, and the food arrived impressively fast. I found the fries especially unique – they had a powdered cheese coating with a slight sweetness, adding an interesting twist.

The star of the meal was, of course, the chicken. It was juicy and flavorful, with a marinade that didn’t overwhelm the crispiness of the batter underneath. Since this is Korean cuisine, there’s a subtle hint of sweetness in most dishes. While sweet flavors aren’t usually my preference, I knew to expect it with Korean flavors, and it worked well here. The prices were reasonable, making it all the more worth it.

Overall, a solid place to get flavorful and well-prepared Korean fried chicken.“

“This location was absolute 🔥🔥🔥. On entry greeted with excitement. everythibg was great he understood what I was aiming for and made it happen. His recommendations were perfect. Paul if you read this understand that you closed out an amazing birthday week for my little girl and you made it that much better with your service. I will definitely be back and that cauliflower was beautifully done.“

“I was visiting from Montreal, Canada, and I’m so glad I stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken! The food was absolutely amazing—crispy, flavorful, and the perfect level of spice. What really made my experience special, though, was the outstanding service. The manager, was incredibly welcoming, took the time to suggest the best sauces to pair with my chicken, and made me feel like a valued customer from start to finish. It’s not every day you encounter such genuine hospitality!

Now, whenever anyone is visiting Orange County, I’ll be sure to refer them to this spot. If you're in the area, don't miss out—definitely worth the visit!“

“First time at Yo Yo Burgers and so glad I stopped by. Their variety of burgers, toppings and sauces are Amazing. The brioche bread is perfect and with seasoning on the patties. The fries are so crispy in the outside and soft in the inside. Saad took care of us and guided us thru the ordering process and provided us with his favorite sauces. Can't wait to come back for the Nashville.“

“I ordered the Cajun Tuna Roll just to keep it simple. It's great for the price, you get what you pay for. I got curious about the Spicy chicken sandwich and decided to try it out.I have a high spice tolerance and never was really "spiced"out by ANY Spicy Sandwich. Until today. By far, the best spicy chicken sandwich I've had so far. Very crispy and juicy.. Well done! I'll be regularly coming back :)“

“Love the food here. Their Fried chicken is really good. Owner is very nice a well.“

“Great food. Super nice staff. Thank you. When they say it’s spicy believe them. Dare is almost unbearable. I wouldn’t dare try the double dare. Soooo good.“

“El Pollo Loco is a go-to spot for flavorful and affordable Mexican-inspired grilled chicken dishes. With locations across the country, including one conveniently situated in Lake Forest, California, this fast-casual chain never disappoints.“

“Good! 🍗

My sister and I are always in the area yet have never had a chance to try this place out until now. We're really glad with the menu options and found the prices to be pretty reasonable. Everything looked really good and they offer a lot of different flavors and seasonings which other places don't.

- * #4 Combo (5 Strips): 8/10 - 'spicy' flavor wasn't spicy at all but fries were good
- * Popcorn Chicken: 8/10 - good batter but no seasoning so quite bland

They're located in the Tustin Square plaza which can get crowded at peak times so parking might be different. The interior is nice and they have plenty of tables to sit at.

Be sure to stop by if you guys are ever in the area! 🐓“

“At first i didnt want to make the drive ...there arent many locations...but the drive was worth it.When we got to daves hot chicken,Justin took our order. He was very professional and took time to explain the hotness of the choices of chicken . When we recieved our order I immediately noticed the you get more fries than many places (like canes)and the pickles served with the chicken here are crunchy and delicious 😋, my kids loved it !! The locating is really nice n clean ! You'll enjoy it.

Kid-friendliness: The kids enjoyed it and took leftover's home“

“I think they were incredibly busy bc our order took forever and a day, but honestly it was worth the wait. First time trying this chicken and it was so crispy, flavorful and juicy. It was perfect. I also ordered the corn cheese and unfortunately it may have been cooked in butter or oil but it was way to greasy for me. I ended up with a stomachache, but I'm old so that's normal. I'm sure it would be fine if I was half my age. They had a huge screen playing kpop music videos, which is fine unless you have a kid who you limit screen time, all they wanted to do was watch the screen and a lot of the time it's people with not a lot of clothes on moving provocatively. I dont mind but not something a small child should be watching. I'd still go back though and order to go ahead of time.“

“The Reaper chicken.
That's what I've been seeing on social media.
I got it. It was hot, but not as hot as everyone made it seem.
Don't get me wrong, it was delicious and very spicy. But it's not for the weak. 👍“

“Get the Ribeye California Loaded Breakfast Burrito with Light Cheese! Didn't spike my blood sugar beyond 110mg/dl! That's pretty good for a burrito! This is where my daughter has breakfast before going to school after surf class on 9th Street.“

“Their chicken rice is legit good. If you're looking for SG/hawker style, I've gone to a LOT of chicken rice places in this city, this is my #1.

The rice and the chili are on point. My only nitpicks are that the rice could be a little drier with longer grain, and the chili consistency is a bit too smooth for my taste.

Portions are very generous.

It's actually their fried chicken that somehow stands out the most, it is extremely good.“

“They are very friendly and great food 💕💕“

“The chicken is cooked to perfection every time at this location. Customer service is always top tier. I cheated and went to another location and let me just say no comparison what so ever! Anytime I want a 18 piece 😋 😩 Honey Garlic Chicken Wings I'm bringing all family and friends 🧡 to THIS LOCATION! 🤤❤️‍🔥“

“Me gusta el comer afuera y está muy acogedor“

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!“

“Me encanta no bengo diario pero cuando bengo bengo con gusto me encanta muy sabroso y bengo desde Portland Oregon I love ❤️ pollo loco“

“Went to Irvine location since I live in OC. I love Korean food. We ordered Fried Garlic Soy Chicken thigh so flavorful. Also a set of Yup O, it had rice cake, sausages, fish cake, cabbage and cheese. And the set came with seaweed rice and veggies fried tempura. My favorite place to go for this type of Korean food. Staffs were very nice. It’s a hole in the wall restaurant but good food and clean place.“

“The waffles and chicken are delicious! It was out to me in record timing! The presentation of the food was spot on. The service was exceptional! I will definitely return for another great experience.“

“Great food! Great service! This is one of the best places for lunch in Irvine!“

“One of my favorite lunch spots. Food is delicious. Great customer service. Thank you to Pedro for always taking my order and telling me about their deals/discounts. Other staffs are very welcoming and friendly as well. The place is lively and clean.“

“It’s a fast food place in a food court close to John Wayne airport. I didn’t have high expectations for the steamed bao. But it’s actually pretty good and the steamed egg is really soft and tender. I also had the soybean milk which tastes very fresh and authentic.“

“This place is awesome! Great food and service! The staff is friendly and take pride in the food they make, and boy does it show! Some of the crunchiest chicken in the game! Some of the reviews on this place don't do it justice, definitely come by and find out for yourself!

Parking: It's on a empty street, so plenty of parking and has a empty parking lot next to it“

“the food here is really good. i’ve had their spicy garlic wings, korean style saucy wings, and the rice noodles (deok bokki). the wait can be a little long because they make everything super fresh. the food is HOT when you get it so be careful! there’s plenty of seating and large TVs, if you don’t want to wait you can order ahead.

Parking: easy parking

Kid-friendliness: they had Blippi playing on one of the screens!“

“It’s a different style of Thai than what I’ve had before.

The chicken dumplings were superb and crisp with a tasty dipping sauce that is soy based.

The chicken and rice dish is delectable and also is served with a sauce and a side of soup.

Excellent quick food after a long drive for an event down the block.

The market is filled with lots of people and it’s quite noisy.“

“Chung Chun just opened in Anaheim, and it's now my favorite spot! I has the viral Korean hot dogs which had been in my list for a long time. And I loved the surprise drink with the cute keychain. (I asked to choose the keychain I wanted actually but the restaurant was happy about it.) Totally recommend for Korean/Japanese style home food! The food was very delicious!“

“The food was so good!!! And lots of food for the price :)“

“I cannot leave a review glowing enough to do this place justice. Hands down my new favorite local spot. The Dirty Beer Battered Fries with the Fried Egg were intended as a side but quickly took center stage. Perfectly spicy and flavorful. The chicken tenders were huge white meat pieces. The sauces were all amazing but the soy garlic was outstanding. The portions were huge! The two of us each had full size leftovers and then some. And for under $40! The icing on the cake was the excellent service. Alma, our server, was gracious, attentive and answered all our silly questions. The chef, Raul, plated the best meals we have had in quite some time. Please treat yourself to this gem of a local restaurant. Highly recommend! 👌“

“By far, the best rotisserie chicken I have tasted. Seasoned perfectly, cooked just right, and juicy and flavorful. Since we relocated to the area, Pollo’s has become a regular in our house, especially on busy school nights. I grab two chickens, make my own sides, and have a tasty semi-homemade meal ready in under 30 minutes. The bulgogi beef tacos are good too.“

“Been coming here like 5x a week for the past month !

This is place is an OG, authentic, hole in the wall Mexican restaurant 👌🏻

Everything is amazing , good quality, great price and the staff is super cool!!

Try the Armando style bowl. Clean and simple meal that’s great for your fitness goals.
The burritos are bomb too“

“This is the first place I have found in Orange County that makes a hot chicken that is legitimately too hot to handle. And I say that as I sweat through the next 3 tenders. It's fantastic but I'll actually order something a little milder next time. Get Clucked means business.“

“simple easy menu.
you order from a kiosk, a bit confusing for my first time.

delicious wrap.
i coulda used more lettuce.
plenty of chicken, good heat options.
side of ‘kaleslaw’ was mid.“

“Okay, I thought this was one of this joints where you order “Xtra Crack” in the comments and you get some smoking crack. Imagine my disappointment when I opened my bag and all I had was delicious chicken, fries and amazing coleslaw. Honestly though, I think that chicken has smoking crack in it cause I just finished eating and I’m already itching for some more…. Maybe you could help a fella out and get me some chicken? Come on man! Please?!?!?“

“Love this place. Their Tabouleh is the Best.I am so happy I only live one mile away.“

“My partner and I always try to stop by whenever we’re in the area! It’s a long drive but so worth it! We’ve only really had the fried chicken but they’re always so delicious and consistent each visit. The inside is usually kind of empty, I wish more people came by to appreciate their food!“

“Da die for Yummy 🤤 . Their New Chicken Pozole“

“First time checking this place out with the family this afternoon. Delicious spicy chicken, family friendly, and the kindest staff that make you feel like home. Hoping you get a location in San Francisco one day! 🙏🏼“
