Chicken Shops in Irvine, CA

“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.“

“Arad is an outstanding cashier at Dave’s! Every time I’ve come in, he’s been friendly, professional, and quick at the register. He always greets customers with a genuine smile and makes the checkout process smooth and pleasant. It’s clear he cares about doing a great job and creating a positive experience for everyone. Shoutout to moe and arda for consistently excellent service!“

“My husband and I came in on a Wednesday around 1pm to avoid the lunch rush. We ordered the original hainan chicken, hat yai chicken, and popcorn chicken. Order came out within 10 minutes. Everything was delicious, definitely enjoyed it best with the KMG sauce and the habanero which had a nice kick. The popcorn chicken was surprisingly very flavorful in the best way. It’s a unique flavor and unlike other popcorn chickens I’ve had. It tasted good with and without the sauce it came with and will definitely be something I’d crave and come back for. 11/10 :)“

“I feel like El pollo loco is underrated really. The chicken is honestly amazing for such a simple place. Everything else can be a hit or miss but the chicken is always spot on, if you come here, you definitely have to try the chicken, if you try anything else then you can't complain or else your just a Crazy Chicken.

The service is great, they are fast and efficient and generous.

The ambiance is casual with some good music playing, the music is played at a slightly above average sound level. Seats are cushioned and well lit with some outdoor seating is some nice weather.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wings were decent, fries were fine. Price was as expected. Loved the variety of the soda machines. I hate having to pay for dipping sauce especially way over priced tiny vials of it. Come on stop charging for it, no one would ever pay for a ketchup packet, why charge people eating wings for ranch or blue cheese!?“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The Hainan Chicken rice dish is best I have ever tasted in OC. The chicken is tender and moist and all three sauces were provided were amazingly good - the sweet chilli with a bit of tang, sweet soy sauce, and the ginger scalion sauce. The rice is also very tasty if a bit hard but easily soften with the piping hot chicken broth included. If you love Hainan Chicken rice, this place is definitely a must!

Parking: Lots of parking on weekdays.“

“Clean store and tons of Asian products too“

“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.“

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

“I had a wonderful experience at Chick-fil-A thanks to Amber! Her customer service was truly outstanding—she was friendly, attentive, and made me feel genuinely welcome. It’s clear she cares about the customers and takes pride in her work. On top of that, the coffee she made was absolutely perfect fresh, and delicious. Amber’s positive attitude and great attention to detail really made my day. Thank you, Amber, for going above and beyond!“

“they have a special limited time deal on their 4pc boneless box for $9.99. It comes with fries and drink. I think its a great deal than the 6pc boneless box lunch deal because this offer is all day, wheres the lunch deal ends at 3pm and its $16.99 but with tax it comes out to like $18.“

“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!“

“I rarely feel the need/urge to post reviews but THIS Chick-fil-A has never disappointed me and if they ever make a slight mistake? They are suuuuuper sweet and quick to fix it! Today in specific I noticed a worker I hadn’t seen before and Sharon? If you’re seeing this? I LOVEEEEE your positive attitude! Very few people show excitement or care for their jobs nowadays. Such a sweetheart! Sooooooo helpful & super aware of when people need assistance, OR if tables need clearing/cleaning!
This place is always so clean and the lighting is nice as well. Whenever I do dine-in or drive thru? The wait isn’t long, even when they are backed up on orders! Will cont. coming to THIS location for the foreseeable future!🤍❤️🤍❤️“

“Jollibee is definitely one of my favorite fast food brands! Their fried chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside—each bite is incredibly satisfying. Paired with their unique mushroom or spicy gravy, it’s a perfect match. The sweet-style spaghetti brings back childhood memories—it’s sweet and savory, and truly addictive. The mango pie is served hot, with a crispy crust and a gooey filling that bursts with flavor—I can never resist buying a few more to go. The service is also exceptional, with friendly staff and a clean, welcoming environment. It’s perfect for family meals or casual hangouts with friends. Jollibee isn’t just fast food—it’s a joyful flavor experience. Highly recommended for everyone!“
