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😍“

“My brother recommended this place since him and his team from the office come here for lunch often and it definitely is the real deal! The loaded fries were perfect and the chicken sandwiches themselves are what I'd hope a crispy chicken sandwich would be, also the Texas toast is top notch, 5 stars for sure!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I usually don’t like writing reviews, but Austin at the Dave’s Hot Chicken drive-thru in Irvine really inspired me to write one. He was honestly one of the friendliest employees I’ve ever interacted with. His enthusiasm and kindness made the whole experience feel really positive. It’s rare to have someone be that genuinely nice and energetic, especially in a quick drive-thru interaction. Austin definitely deserves recognition for making my day better.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Got my food at the Newport Location. Much smaller location, a few tables, better for pick-up. Other than that, the food is wonderful! Got the Dave Bites w/ Fries. So flavorful! Dont even really need the sauce, but that's also tasty. Got the Oreo top Shake w/ Strawberry ice cream YUM!!! Thay might have to be a staple everytime i order lol“

“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.“

“This was an experience!!! This was my first time here!! I will definitely be a life long customer!! I had the Honey Mustard chicken wings!! They were fantastic!!! They were perfectly fried and juicy!!! My daughter had the Spicy Crispy wings!!! The same thing,perfectly fried and juicy!!! I highly recommend this spot!!! It's worth the drive!!“

“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“

“Stopped by Yup Dduk in Irvine and it was definitely a solid spot. We got the Yup Dduk Tteokbokki, Yup Dduk Chicken Stew, Tuna Mayo Rice, and a Potato Cheese Corndog. The tteokbokki and chicken stew were the real standouts — full of flavor, good heat, and just the right kick to keep things interesting. The tuna mayo rice and corndog were solid sides that paired well without stealing the show. The spot itself is casual and unassuming, and the food definitely delivers. If you’re into Korean street-style dishes with bold spice and flavors that actually hit, this place is worth carving out time for.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“This was probably the best large order pick-up experience I've had from a fast food place in the last couple years. Everything was correct, well packaged, and ready to go when I arrived. The staff were friendly, walking me through the order and helping carry it to my car. Great work!“

“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.“

“The Best of the West 👍👍 🍻🍻“

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

“Clean store and tons of Asian products too“

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

“Muy rica comida, y nutritiba .“

“Great service! We've been here before and like it a lot! We both got bowls with the purple rice and a side of the Korean street fries! The toppings in the bowl went so well with everything and is a good amount of food! Everything was so good and the rest of the menu with the kimchi burgers looks great! Will definitely be back to try everything on the menu“

“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! :)“

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

“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“

“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.“

“I came with my daughter on saturday and Alek took our order in the drive thru and we had an amazing experience with him. He was helpful, kind, extremely polite and patient with my toodler it was our first time coming and her first time ordering on her own!🥹 He had a great attitude and made your first time at chick fil a a great and memorable one!😁“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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