Chicken Shops in Irvine, CA

“Great atmosphere, super clean , food was hot, portioned and presented well. Austin was awesome, amicable, a great listener, thoughtful , helpful and I didn’t order a drink and he offered a cup of iced water while I waited for my food.“

“Really impressed by how consistent this place is. I’ve ordered from multiple locations and the quality has always been solid. The Hainan chicken is flavorful, the broth is comforting, and everything tastes fresh. It’s healthy without feeling boring. Perfect quick lunch option when you want something filling but not too heavy.“

“Definitely a place you want to stop at! We are their chicken sandwich, chicken tenders and chicken grill boo. All were excellent. The portions were large as well. We have 5 kids and they all loved it too. The man at the front counter was so kind and helpful. When he said they have the number one chicken in Orange County, he was telling the truth!“

“walked in figuring it was gonna be just ok, but it was actually so good that im still thinking about it... tofu was perfectly chewy and the sauce had this instant kick...

food came out alot faster than I expected, total surprise“

“I come here for lunch 2-4 times per week and let me say this is the best El pollo loco ever and it has a lot to do with the manager Pedro he is amazing friendly and a very professional and kind employee of pollo loco. He deserves big time recognition and respect for all his hard work. This restaurant exceeds my expectations. Food is always hot and fresh . Service is excellent!!!! 10/10“

“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.“

“I ordered the chicken leg meat with dipping sauces and broth. Honestly, the chicken was great on its own. I didn't care for any of the sauces. The rice was a bit salty but still good.

The setup felt a little odd. There was a loud speaker on loop reminding Uber and DoorDash drivers to pick up orders in the back. It was super annoying. I really think they would benefit from having a host instead of relying on that speaker.

That said, the place itself was cool, and I liked that you can order from several different shops all through the same kiosk.“

“You can tell this is a family owned business that really cares about its quality. All the chicken are freshly fried, that's why there is a bit of a wait. The waffle is actually my favorite, super crispy, best waffles I've had in a while.“

“Only ever tried the Fire Fries and this is my first time ordering here so I don't know if this is normal for these fries or if I got a weird batch but these are SPICY. I am able to down a pack of Buldak x2 Spicy without a problem so when I say the Fire Fries are spicy, I mean it hurts like the fries hate you, burns it's way down, and while the tongue eventually settles down, my gut is bubbling and it's so painful, I can barely sit straight. Delicious!“

“its my go to spot now. went with a couple friends last week and we all left stuffed. the chicken is super juicy and has that perfect char taste. my friend got the burrito and it looked huge, i had to try a bite and it was awsome. the guy at the counter was real patient while we figured out what we wanted. idrive all the way across town just for this.

oops almost forgot, the beans and rice are really good too.“

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

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

“Wow. The most incredible service ever. Sharon was the kindest person ever and was incredibly helpful and went above and behind to ensure she delivered the best service. Honestly I would give the service 6/5 stars, Sharon took amazing care.
Well done to her and the team 👏“

“This place is a Taiwanese fried chicken restaurant and is a different style of fried chicken that is softer and less crunchy. It is much less heavy and does not make you feel too lethargic after. You order at the tablet and pick up at the counter. Very chill and casual spot with friendly staff are fair prices.“

“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.“

“Very clean and welcoming place with a beautiful atmosphere. The restaurant is always well maintained, the tables are kept spotless, and the interior design is beautiful.

All of the staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. Service was fast, and everyone I interacted with was kind and welcoming. I would especially like to thank the lady who helped me during my visit (I believe her name was Yali). She was incredibly warm, patient, and attentive, and was always happy to help whenever I needed assistance.

Overall, a wonderful experience with excellent customer service. Highly recommended“

“The fried chicken is on point. Good crunch, taste, everything right. The fries could be good, but they’re always soggy when doing take away. Soggy already at pick up. I really wish you would stop using closed boxes, trapping all the moisture. Instead use the same type of boxes as for the chicken, so the fries stay crunchy as well.“

“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 finally tried Jollibee in the seafood city and the chicken definitely lived up to the hype. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and crunchy without being overly greasy, and the spicy chicken had a much bigger kick than I expected, which I ended up really enjoying.

For sides, we tried the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. They were decent, but neither stood out compared to the chicken. The dessert was probably my least favorite part of the meal. It was overwhelmingly sweet for my taste, although some of my family members enjoyed it more than I did.

Overall, the chicken was easily the highlight and is what I’d come back for. The meal did leave my stomach feeling a little upset afterward, but honestly, the chicken was good enough that I’d still consider returning. If you’re visiting for the first time, the spicy chicken is definitely worth trying.“
