Chicken Shops near Newport Beach, CA

“Best Tacos in Town! Love this place for tacos and burritos!“

“okay so truthfully i’ve never actually step
foot inside this establishment, BUT, i have ordered food off their app and gotten it delivered like honestly 15 times in the last 2-3 months. i live in grad housing at UCI and order food from here often when i have a late workday. there’s not been one delivery where i have not gotten exactly what i ordered. sometimes they even hook it up with an extra salsa or two for my tortilla chips. i order the double chicken bowl and 10/10 times that bowl slaps. always hits the spot. food is great quality, chicken is always spot on, never dry. great food portions that make other places look like they need to step up their game. lowkey may never physically visit this place but will mostly mobile order from here over other food places. gg staff. also highly recc the app if you don’t have it.“

“I love it they’re so delicious 😋😍and my daughter she always says chif-aif mamma chif-aif mamma😍“

“Eileen was very helpful and responsive. She gave us her recommendations, was very kind. The store itself was really clean, including their bathroom. We ordered takeout but came out fresh and fast!! The mozzarella sticks are back and awesome!“

“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.“

“Never had hunan chicken before I tried it here. The sauce over the juicy chicken and the ginger rice was absolutely delicious. Broth was super good as was the salad. 10/10 highly recommended if you like simple authentic Chinese food without the unhealthy American twist. Was ready super quick. And the Thai iced tea was really good as well.“

“Amazing food and service!“

“Okay, so the food was seriously good. The chicken was moist, crispy, and super well-seasoned. You could tell it was really good quality Halal chicken. The french fries were very good, I'd go back just for them. Now, the service was pretty slow and not great because there was only one person working. She was mostly in the kitchen, so the front wasn't really being attended to. The dining area itself was quiet, not super clean, but there is an outdoor seating spot. Still, the food definitely made up for the downsides.“

“Tried this gem for the first time today! Fall off the bone chicken and salmon Alfredo with fresh vegetables was delicious. The staff was friendly and gracious. Definitely a new favorite!“

“Great food. Super nice staff. Thank you. When they say it’s spicy believe them. Dare is almost unbearable. I wouldn’t dare try the double dare. Soooo good.“

“I’ve been eating at this location for a couple years now and the food is always good. However, today the food was prepared exceptionally well and we loved everything that we had. There were also some new items which was a nice surprise. The employees were very friendly and helpful. St the last minute, I added some additional items and the items came out quicker than expected.“

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!“

“First memorable bbq chicken experience in the states ever ! Especially compared to the one in Jamboree I usually go to. The guy working morning on September 29th deserves a raise or something. He was in there all by himself, was very kind to us, and our chicken tasted amazing !! This will be my go to bbq from now on highly recommend.“

“Love the food here. Their Fried chicken is really good. Owner is very nice a well.“

“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!“

“First time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken, and I was impressed. The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the customer service. Destiny at the front counter was friendly, professional, and explained the menu in detail. She made sure my order was correct, offered drink and shake options, and greeted every customer who walked in while helping me. That level of attention and hospitality is what keeps people coming back. Great food, even better service. Keep up the awesome work!“

“I am a bit giggly this morning because the soft-scrambled egg sando hits! Perfect to satiate the appetite and start my day. The burrito is flavorful but I just wish there was 10% more of my choice protein, this time it was ribeye. I ordered a side of chorizo chili which was perfect with my fries. Can't wait to go back and try some lunch menu items.“

“I was able to pick up my food once I got there after a long morning at work. The person who was working in front immediately greeted me and helped me out! The food was top tier! It was my first time getting boneless wings and I can see myself doing that again“

“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“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“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 management! Thanks for serving the Costa Mesa community.“

“Okay, I thought this was one of this joints where you order “Xtra Crack” in the comments and you get some smoking crack. Imagine my disappointment when I opened my bag and all I had was delicious chicken, fries and amazing coleslaw. Honestly though, I think that chicken has smoking crack in it cause I just finished eating and I’m already itching for some more…. Maybe you could help a fella out and get me some chicken? Come on man! Please?!?!?“

“Muy buen servicio y el pollo muy bueno“

“My wife and I moved out of southern California 9 years ago and the only thing we really miss, besides family is the Mexican food! This local, no frills spot really hits the mark. The food is on point and meets all our breakfast, lunch and dinner needs! If you’re in the area it’s worth a stop for take out or dinning in the patio area!“

“La quesadillas de pollo con guacamole me gusta mucho. thankyou guys.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best food and the best service I love this place all the time is a happy face“

“They’re very professionals and the food is the best“

“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The customer service was outstanding from the moment I arrived. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was taken care of.

A special thank you to Manager Ellie, who was incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great dining experience. Her professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail truly stood out and made us feel valued as customers.

Great food and excellent service!“

“This was our first time at Cane’s and it was delicious! Our local high school was having a fundraiser at Cane’s so we decided to try it. The chicken and dipping sauce were so good, the coleslaw very tasty, and lemonade very refreshing. We’ll definitely be back.“

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

“Clean store and tons of Asian products too“

“The Best of the West 👍👍 🍻🍻“

“So I just have to say that the white dude that has a pretty cool haircut, I just had to say that he is a really nice guy and I like how he was very friendly with me, and he made me feel like I was in a good Chick-fil-A, I hope that he stays here in the foreseeable future until either one he's done with his college or number two he moves up in the company, God bless him and I hope he still stays in the company“

“They were quick and they got our order correct.“

“Best food & service !! Would recommend to friends and family“

“I got the BBQ chicken and (steamed) rice with the ginger scallion sauce and it was so good! The chef and employee were also very nice and were available for any questions we had.
I also got a Thai iced coffee with milk and it is wow! It’s very strong, so fair warning, but also very good! It’s not super sweet or bitter - it’s the perfect in-between.
For the food and coffee (with tip) the total came out to about $24 as of January 2026. I will gladly pay that again! :)“

“The Best com ga I have , chicken is very juicy , tender ,special no bone , first bite in my mouth few like in the heaven , the soup is litttle mặn , but it work for 10 buck go in get it everybody“

“Muy rica comida, y nutritiba .“

“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 👏“

“Raising Canes always delivers the goods! Excellent,Hot,and fresh every visit!“

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

“It was my first time eating Pollo loco. The guy in the front was very helpful and nice. I got the street corn bowl with 2 spicy chicken tenders. The bowl was much better than the tenders. The tenders were just powdered with seasoning and it wasn't even spicy. Their habanero salsa was good as well. Will go back for sure.“

“I have been to many Wabas over the past few years and this is still my preferred location. Chicken bowls are not complex and shouldn’t be that hard to deliver a solid bowl/ plate. They cook the chicken well, don’t skimp on the protein compared to other locations, and have good customer service. It’s also clean, solid music lol and overall a decent spot for a quick lunch/post gym sesh/etc. I feel this place deserved a review - I don’t always have time to make them but here n there I’ll make time for the worthy ones.“

“Drive thru today. Quick ordering. My bucket of chicken, cole slaw, and biscuits were ready without much delay. Chicken and slaw were tasty, no issues.
Price. No more pre-pandemic, pre $20/hr wage specials like $5 meals. Everything's $10-15 for a fried chicken meal, and bucket meals $30-50~. Bucket deal on 12 piece was $20 today, $30~ with a large cole slaw and 2 biscuits.“

“First visit here, Im always looking for a good Fish and Chips spot, store was very clean, staff was friendly and inviting. Food arrived within about 10 minutes. Really pleased w these food, fish was flavorful, good fries too. Ill definitely be back again to try some of their other food items as well.“
