Chicken Shops in Irvine, CA

“Everything was amazing all around. The customer service was on point. One of the workers Kathy was on point, she checked up on us and she just was amazing. The food was great really spicy but that’s the experience we went for when we got the roulette. If I could give ten stars I would.“

“This place has such consistently good food. they don’t have interior seating, but they do have some outdoor seats. Typically I just come here for food pick ups. The panko chicken is my favorite. Something about their rice flavoring makes it so much better as well. Overall it’s a solid place for a healthy great tasting meal.“

“Stopped by Yup Dduk in Irvine and it was definitely a solid spot. We got the Yup Dduk Tteokbokki, Yup Dduk Chicken Stew, Tuna Mayo Rice, and a Potato Cheese Corndog. The tteokbokki and chicken stew were the real standouts — full of flavor, good heat, and just the right kick to keep things interesting. The tuna mayo rice and corndog were solid sides that paired well without stealing the show. The spot itself is casual and unassuming, and the food definitely delivers. If you’re into Korean street-style dishes with bold spice and flavors that actually hit, this place is worth carving out time for.“

“I tried Bao Chick and their grilled bao with beef was fantastic.
The beef was juicy and flavorful, and the bao was perfectly soft and fluffy.
I loved the combination of textures and the slightly smoky grill flavor.
Overall, it’s a fun spot with tasty food and a casual, welcoming vibe.“

“We were excited to try this as Singaporeans! This chicken rice has about 85% similarity to authentic Singaporean chicken rice. The chicken is super soft and flavorful, the rice is the right taste too. The sauces are different, however - thai sweet chilli, 90% similar dao you, and a salty ginger paste.

We were served by a friendly young man with great attitude. Overall, will be back for the chicken rice!“

“Was in the Irvine area and searched for fried chicken. Found this place, the food was amazing. Korean chicken at its best. We tried the fire fury chicken which was like super spicy but very tasty. The chicken katsu meal and the boneless chicken meal box was also amazing. The sides served were potato salad, pickles, pickled radish, jalapenos, a brownie, and a nice cabbage bed with sauces. Absolutely delicious. The location only has a few tables, restrooms were really clean, plenty of parking available.“

“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.“

“Great experience here! We love eating here when we come from out of town but I messed up ordering on the website and picked boneless instead of bone in on over half our wings but they fixed it without any issues!
Great service! Needless to say we will be more careful next time.
Great wings and food as always!“

“This was probably the best large order pick-up experience I've had from a fast food place in the last couple years. Everything was correct, well packaged, and ready to go when I arrived. The staff were friendly, walking me through the order and helping carry it to my car. Great work!“

“Just an incredible experience at the drive-through. I wouldn’t leave a review unless this was special and they were so helpful kind polite. I hadn’t been to El Pollo Loco in a while so I had a lot of dumb questions and they helped me customize my order. We’re very quick and charming.

No issues with the food either I asked for creamy chipotle sauce on my classic chicken burrito. Highly recommend it.“

“Clean store and tons of Asian products too“

“I ❤️ their boba! I traveled 30 min to go here!“

“Great 👍 n very patient servers! Always helpful.“

“Hello, I just wanted to come here to express my feelings about my expierence in this chic fil A, I went through the drive-thru in this location yesterday and I had the best experience I have had in a drive-thru for a while, there was this gentleman working alone outside, his name was Abdul, he was very patient and polite with us taking a while to order, even though he was alone, he provided us with a great experience and great service, the order was 100% accurate and he helped me understand all about the rewards in the app, he's a very nice person and cares about the guest's feelings, from now on this is the location I will be headed to for drive-thru orders.

Thank you for your kindness.“

“Convenient location, wasn't as busy as the parking lot indicated, the atmosphere and service was wonderful. They were able to handle my special order with no pickles. Hot and fresh really friendly, cheerful staff. Grandkids love the peppermint milkshake and kids meal“

“The food was sooo delicious! Out of all the popcorn chicken I've tried in the U.S, this place tastes the closest to what I eat in Taiwan. Their fried sweet potato balls are delicious as well. I'm not sure why this place only has 3.6 stars. The only downside was that I didn't see anyone cleaning the tables so when my friend and I sat down, our table was kind of creasy and covered in crumbs.“

“I ordered the spicy original and the soy garlic wings. The wings are fairly large (compared to Wingstop) so the 8 piece small is enough. Both flavors were really good with the spicy original being more like just a just a small kick than actually spicy.“

“These guys went above and beyond having known it was a chilly night to be eating outdoor, they provided us with blankets! What a touch of service-golden!“

“Excellent and Authentic Korean Fried Chicken
The global phenomenon of Korean fried chicken has set an incredibly high bar for flavor and texture, and bb.q Chicken in Quail Hill consistently rises to the occasion, establishing itself as a fantastic local spot. For anyone seeking a high-quality and truly authentic experience, this is a benchmark for how it should be done. They have their cooking process absolutely dialed in, delivering on the promise of what makes this style of chicken so revered worldwide.
The magic is in the batter and the fry. The chicken achieves that signature, shatteringly crisp exterior that crackles with every single bite—a clear testament to a masterful cooking process. Yet, beneath that wonderfully light and airy crust, the chicken inside remains incredibly juicy and tender every time. It’s a brilliant textural contrast that they nail consistently, creating a final product that never feels heavy or greasy.
Choosing the Golden Original is like a litmus test for any great chicken spot, and here it passes with flying colors. It allows you to fully appreciate the clean flavor of the poultry and the expertly seasoned, delicate crust. However, venturing into their sauced varieties is where another level of fun begins. The Secret Sauce is a standout, offering a beautifully balanced sweet and spicy glaze that clings to every nook and cranny of the crispy batter without ever compromising its crunch. It’s sticky, addictive, and delicious. Pairing any order with their pickled radish is essential; the cool, tangy crunch provides the perfect counterpoint.
Overall, it's our delicious and reliable choice whenever we're craving top-notch Korean fried chicken. We're always happy with our meal here and would definitely recommend it to any enthusiast.“

“Absolutely love the food and service here! Their chicken is always flawlessly crispy, tender, and juicy. I've ordered through uber eats a number of times and the food arrives in the same condition as if you just picked it up. The skin remains just as crispy and crunchy. I highly recommend you get their spicy chicken joy bucket and the ube pie is to die for.“
