But this one by far is the tastiest and most juicy. If you like your chicken juicy and crispy this is the place to try. Try them out asap if you havnt yet.“

Kid-friendliness: There is no problem with kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: There was access for wheelchair.“

“I’ve had chicken sandwiches, chicken in buckets, ordered chicken meals (best deal), for over 30 years that I’ve lived here. Every time, the food is excellent. The quality of chicken that you get is unmatched by canes, chick fil a, or popeyes, IMO. I guarantee you’ll have an excellent meal.“

“Reem went above and beyond to help me with my order! Everyone was super friendly. The place was super clean. There were so many options to choose from and everything looked amazing. My CO workers love this place so I finally tried it today. Everything is made fresh. My order came out fast. There's a screen for placing your order if you don't want to wait in line. There wasn't a long line when I went in. I ordered the hippy wrap with sweet potato, a side of pesto pasta and a pineapple cream soda! It was delicious! This is now my new favorite place! I will definitely be coming back and bringing friends and family!

Vegetarian options: They had so many vegetarian options to choose from. Lots of sweet potato, roasted potatoes, corn on cob, pesto pasta, salads, fries and more!

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. It's situated right in front of an awesome park with splash pad and carousel within view.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is enough room to navigate a stroller or wheelchair through the door and inside the restaurant.“

“JR at the mission viejo location was great. We rarely are able to all eat together as a family and we went there for dinner. We had an issue with our app but with his great customer service he made our family day. Thank you! Would come back again.“

“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 :)“

“Located in the food court of Zion Market off of Irvine Blvd. & Yale, Two Dak Two Dak has amazing fried chicken. I ordered the popcorn chicken and it was on point. The chicken was moist not dried and chewy like many places. And the batter coating the chicken is a light blanket. Good price point ($7.42) and the popcorn chicken is definitely a shareable. I will come back to this place for another great chicken experience.“

“Very moist, juicy tenders and crispy fry on the outside that makes the tenders worth the wait. The mango habenaro sauce is tangy, has good viscosity that sticks to the chicken, and is on the spicier side. Leaves a subtle burn on the lips and tongue. Turned out to be $12.50 for three tenders and bread. The wait was the worst part of the experience. Took about 25 minutes from ordering to get the food. No one was in at 4:30pm Sunday, and all other orders are for takeout. They pack ranch and ketchup in the to go order. Nice service and clean facility. Would recommend for fried hot chicken fans to try.“

“My first time here, the food was amazing, and the service even better. Carter and the other FOH dude made sure me and my friend were taken care of the entirety the time we were there, from when I walked in to when I walked out. 20/10 in all aspects“

“It was my first time coming in and I ordered the New Dave's Bites with 10 bites made fresh(Medium Hot). Only 3 options for spice on the Bites but simple is better and perfect for $9.99 with a side of fries. I hope to try the chicken sandwich next time. The chicken was surprisingly tender and juicy so if you like chicken it's a must try. This location has a comfortable outdoor patio with umbrellas and an out of this world graffiti scene with interdimensional chicken man on a UFO ? theme.“

“Zach's Chicken was fantastic! Jack and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive from the moment I walked in. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful. The service was prompt and efficient, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone craving delicious chicken and excellent service!“

“Great wings, AMAZING service, and very cool vibe! It was our first time and I’m stupidly indecisive and after debating for a second on two flavors, the cashier gave me samples of the sauces?? I’ve never had anyone do that, it was honestly so cool of her!! The wings ended up tasting amazing and were perfectly cooked! My partner got mango habanero and Jamaican jerk, and I got the Thai chili and original buffalo :) all were awesome! They’re gonna put BWW out of business lol! 10/10!“

“The asian register is so polite and professional that’s on top of great food this place has. Place is a little small so why only 4 for atmosphere.

Parking: It’s a big compund with multiple stores but in a great area. Great when not too busy. Accross the street is a public agency where you can park while eating.“

“Stopped here for some Halal chicken and was pleasantly surprised. perfect crispness and flavor. My only complaint is that me and my family’s orders of wings were mostly all drums only one or two flats total. Otherwise great customer service and food.“

“I’ve been coming to this Chick-fil-A for a while now, and the staff is very kind but usually doesn’t start small conversations.
Today, one of the members started a small talk and I enjoyed it a lot! I think his name was Micah and was such a sweet guy, the food was very good as well, came with everything I ordered“

“I ordered the Chicken Mac&Cheese with fries combo. Overall a great dish. The chicken was Phenomenal, so moist with lots of flavor. The fries were some of the best I've had, very crunchy! The Mac&Cheese however lacked flavor, which took away from the dish.
The interior is very nice, beautiful large murals with high ceilings, ample space. Very clean.“

“Food is always good and yummy. Love their sweet tea and kids meals are the best.“

“I decided to order a chicken salad lunch and had it delivered through a service. The salad has cheese, corn, cherry tomatoes, and beans. The pieces of chicken were fried and crispy. What I didn’t enjoy were that large pieces of lettuce that weren’t too enjoyable trying to eat the larger pieces. The dressing is in small containers which is easy to add to my liking; however, I made the mistake of trying to mix by placing the lid back on to shake….. it opened and I had a small spill.“

“This location was so kind and attentive. My co worker & I came in with 8 clients from a special needs day program & were treated with such patience. The manager was ringing in a lot of our orders with a smile! I thanked her for her kindness with tears on my eyes & she said “ you know what your nuggets are on the house today!” I expressed my gratitude for the amazing customer service .. when she brought my nuggets to the table she asked for a headcount of our group which was 10.. soon after she walked over with a tray full of cookies for everyone! I cannot express the joy it brought our group., They wondered why they were given a free cookie & my response was because they like you guys.. such a great experience! We will definitely return soon.. Thankyou to the manager ( I wish I caught her name) ?“

“We had to wait about 5 minutes for our food but it was worth the wait! The chicken was really good! I've been to other locations where the chicken was terrible. So much so that this was the last time I was going to try KFC. But I will be back to this location only!“

“Went here after watching K-Drama “Crash landing on you”. I can now die happily after enjoying the Good food and the staff gave us a basket of waffle fries on the house! Incredibly kind gesture in a time of inflation and worry. We will be back.“
