12 Best Chicken Restaurants in Irvine

“I’m a regular here and don’t usually review places, but the team members in front are always very kind, especially Austin. He always offers a water cup whenever I have to wait a while for my pickup order and is great at customer service. Food is great and tastes even better when he’s up front.“

“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.“

“This place is awesome! The gentleman that operates it gave us free samples and more dumplings than we ordered. Not to mention, absolutely delicious! We are so glad we found it. The wings were amazing my wife said they were best wings she has ever had. Will be back soon“

“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.“

“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!“

“Really good fried chicken! The coating is very light, yet crackly and crispy, while the meat itself remained very juicy and tender. Pickled radish was sweet and crunchy with a little tang, and all of the sauces were delicious.

Will definitely come back!“

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

“Great staff. Kids friendly.❤️🙏🏻“

“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.“

“The staff here were so kind, friendly, and accommodating! They made sure both me and my toddler were comfortable and went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. The manager was especially wonderful—super nice and welcoming. Great customer service all around!“

“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 don’t usually leave Google reviews, but I wanted to share my honest experience because I truly enjoy this place.

I occasionally dine in or pick up BBQ Chicken from the Irvine Cypress location to enjoy with my family, and the food is always delicious. I believe the fresh ingredients make a big difference. It’s not just my opinion—my friends have also said that this is some of the best chicken they’ve had recently.

What makes the experience even better is how friendly and welcoming the staff are. The servers are always very kind, and the owner is exceptionally friendly and attentive to customers as well.

The restaurant is also spacious, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family, friends, or a larger group. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone looking for delicious food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.“
