50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Placentia

“Best chicken EVER!!!! Must go!! Great service, great atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I gave up on KFC years ago when I would order a combo and get greasy below par chicken from a different location. This KFC has restored my faith in KFC. I've been to this KFC a few times now. It's been consistently delicious. The chicken is juicy, hot and delicious. The biscuits are warm, soft and tasty. The mash potatoes are superb. I'll be coming back often.“

“really recommend so yammy and the price is good variety of meals must try“

“El pollo está muy rico lo recomiendo.“

“Went for my birthday and i am more than pleased. The food, service and resturant was all amazing. There were options for all people who may have diet restrictions. My 7 year old had a great time with the chicken wings and the octopus and shrimp sushi. The ramen was super good and the eel was amazing have 0 complaints and i will be returning here very soon as often as i can!“

“We had an amazing time here. The food came out pretty fast and it all was so delicious. There’s a game you can play when you first order and if you manage to stop the timer on exactly 10 seconds you get a free combo. I didn’t win but I thought that was such a fun addition to the experience. We ordered a lot but my favorite was the spicy chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese and pickles. It sounds insane but was pretty spicy and didn’t taste damp or dry, it was literally perfect. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Food came out hot and fresh, and portion size (got combo #5;ate a quarter waffle in the photo) were plentiful for 1 person. Could have easily split for 2 people. Small place but it was busy with customers and people waiting for their takeout orders.“

“Absolutely smackin'. Always love some good chicken and I like how Dave's has spice levels so you can choose how spicy you'd like your chicken. Food was absolutely amazing and the loaded shake was great as well.
Edit 7/20/26: As if Dave's couldn't get any better, THE NEAPOLITAN SHAKE IS SO DAMN DELICIOUS OH MY GOODNESS ME!!“

“food is fresh hot very very good“

“Great children foods .. it easy fast food and it very delicious 🤤 I will come back after gym“

“I came to Dave’s Hot Chicken and had such a great experience! Giselle is honestly one of the best cashier I’ve ever had. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel so well taken care of.
And the chicken here is SO tender and juicy! I’ve been to other Dave’s Hot Chicken locations, but this one is definitely better. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this location and a huge shoutout to Giselle for the amazing service! ❤“

“I haven’t been there in years but tonight we decided to go tonight it did not disappoint. The chicken is yummy.“

“I love this place! Its so far from me and my friends enjoy going on the weekdays so its a mission that i dont make too often.

I love their sauced up options. Boneless and bone-in. My friends prefer the seasoned over sauce.

Recently ordered 4 options: 2 boneless- 1 with sauce, 1 without, and 2 bone-in: 1 wjth sauce and 1 without / for a party. It traveled 1 hour, sat outside for 3 hours, and I took some back home with me. Air fried it and its so soft still, 1 and 2 days later. Everyone loved it! We had 25 people and there were like 4 bone-in and 6 boneless left. (Potluck style yknow)

The kdramas portraying goobne are REAL 😍 so delicious.“

“The reviews are correct. Small little restaurant that looks family owned and ran by the owners. Love to support small business and even better when the food is delicious.

I’ve tasted plenty of teriyaki bowls and was expecting the usual watery chicken but this one tasted like it was cooked to perfection. It had a little charred tasted that had that extra kick and taste to make your mouth water.

Out of all the teriyaki bowls I’ve tasted, this one is definitely up there and a contender for the #1 spot on my list of teriyaki bowls, which says a lot.

If I’m ever around the area, I’m definitely stopping by and I would even make a drive from the other side of the city.

Highly recommend.“

“honestly my favorite hot chicken spot. super glad to have one within 5 minutes of me!“

“My experience at the Chick-Fil-A in Savi Ranch, CA was one of the best I’ve had thanks to the entire staff being incredibly friendly and welcoming. Adrian is a top notch employee and his service specifically was unmatched. He deserves recognition for his incredible customer service skills.“

“The best ! Juan Pollo is my favorite chicken spot in Southern California“

“Never been to a Dave’s Hot Chicken before, but this is my niece’s favorite fast food restaurant so it was suggested we come here for lunch.

I was not hungry so just split a chicken tender and fries with my sister, while the nieces and nephews ordered their own combos.

The chicken tender I ate was good, would considered trying it in the future. It was definitely better with Dave’s Hot Honey, which I think is the same brand we order a gallon at a time for work with our banquet orders.

Quality whole pieces of chicken and good spice blends, I can taste why it is a favorite. The fries are decent on their own, but next level with Hot Honey or Dave’s Sauce or Reaper Ranch.

Price point is higher than a McD, but quality is also higher. Worth it for the quality received.

5 stars for the food.

4 out of 5 overall.“

“Chicken was really good and crispy. We’ll be back. Pickled veggies on sandwich really good“

“I absolutely adore Jackson’s Chix tenders! If you’re in downtown Fullerton, you definitely need to stop by. The restaurant has such a great vibe, and the food is simply fantastic. The staff is amazing“

“Great food 🥘 Fast service super friendly. Will be back!!“

“I get the spicy deluxe chicken sandwich and I ask for extra slices of American cheese. I do get the Chick-fil-A sauce so that I can dip the sandwich into it, but if you are in the mood for an even spicier sandwich, I would go with the zesty buffalo sauce! 5-stars for food and service!“

“Another great KFC from bb.q. Have to eat fresh. Crispy on the outside. Soft and tender meat. They do it right at this location.
Just watch out for any spilled sauce from the box. Bought 2 boxes. 1 small 1 medium. The honey garlic sauce leak from the box. I think the aluminum foil is broken or short one edge. Service is typical. Thus we order pick up.“

“I am obsessed with BB.Q Chicken! Their Olive Fried Wings and Kimchi Fried Rice bowl are simply perfect. Every dish is hot, fresh, made to order, and never left sitting. The customer service is outstanding! I always look forward to my next visit. Thank you, BB.Q Chicken—you are truly the best!“

“Fire fire fire 🐥Great Chicken & Waffle“

“friendly service crews…great food“

“Outstanding chicken recipes and boba milk tea is to die for !“

“Was curious about this branch since it’s from China and this is their 2nd location. Was happened to be 15mins away and thought to give it a try. The location is in a big shopping plaza and has a big parking lot so easy parking. They’re either remodeling or putting up new signs since outside are covered and being painting. Inside is new and clean and very spacious. Small menu and plenty of pictures to see what the foods look like. Ordered a bucket of wings for $20 and 3 chicken sandwiches for $10 (special offers at the moment). Prices are not bad at all, they do have special meal deal that is under $10. Staff are good, the wait is abit long but since I ordered, they start making it so…waited for 8mins for my orders and got it in a cool colorful bag. Smell great and if you eat it right away it’s very juicy and tasty, the burger is good and same for the wings. It just not my cup of tea of their seasoning and favor but with their dipping sauces, it just not going together for me. Overall, it was okey, good sandwich (without the seasoning), good clean store and not bad pricing.“

“First time at this location and it did not disappoint. Great food and service!“

“I’ve been to Koko Chicken & BBQ a few times now and the food has been really good every time. The chicken is crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right, and the portions are solid for the price. The staff is always friendly and the whole place has a nice, laid-back vibe. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re craving some good Korean-style chicken and BBQ. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Exelente las personas ahí son de lo más atentas y serviciales 10 de 10👍“

“Love Knotts Chicken Dinner. My go to when travelling to LA. As always the food was delicious, our servers were attentive. It was busy but still doable. We didn't make a reservation, my mistake. The wait was an hour but we were sat within 30 minutes. I would recommend clicking the reserve button ahead of time to get seated early. Def took food home. Always a pleasure.“

“Great food! Definitely will go again. Love Chicken“

“I had a great experience at Pollo Campero. The service was excellent, and Claudia went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. She was welcoming, professional, and attentive throughout our visit. Our food came out fresh and everything was prepared perfectly. Claudia’s customer service made the experience stand out, and we’ll definitely be returning.“

“Michelle was so nice and helped us get the best deal. The chicken was hot and fresh, and came out very fast. I would definitely come back. Michelle is Awesome and Deserves a promotion with a Big pay raise, you need more empolyees like her.“

“if you've never tried it.... your missing out“

“This chicken is absolutely AMAZING. I am gluten free and very much enjoyed the 50/50 plate with the regular and sweet and sour. SO GOOD. Even better - I have now found a fried chicken place to share with friends who don't have gluten issues. I'd share a picture... but it smelled so good, I forgot to take one and we ate it all.“

“Tried the half chicken meal and the $1 chicken tacos. Plenty of food at a good price, salsa and homemade tortillas included. Order at counter and take out was ready quickly, friendly service. All tasted good and recommend! They also have churros and Thriftys ice cream.“

“Chicken and little dry and rice needs flavor
My guess is when you go and pick up food utensils are in the bag provided from vendor but to my surprise I got to work and no fork to eat my rice and potato salad.
I don't think you need to remind vendor to put utensils in the bag.
Poor costumer service“

“El mejor pollo rostisado que he probado, su sabor y textura es incomparable..“

“First time checking this place out with the family this afternoon. Delicious spicy chicken, family friendly, and the kindest staff that make you feel like home. Hoping you get a location in San Francisco one day! 🙏🏼“

“Amazing fried chicken“

“The chicken joy are awesome. I suggest to put an extra sauce on the spaghetti... look pale“

“An absolute Southern comfort classic! The fried chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and paired beautifully with the fresh, soft waffles. If you like a little extra crunch, ask for the waffles extra crispy—it’s a game-changer with the syrup and hot sauce. The vibe is casual and nostalgic, and the service was friendly. It’s a California institution for a reason!“

“I’ve always loved Jollibee because it’s more than fried chicken—it’s a little taste of home. The juicy, crispy Chickenjoy, the familiar flavors, and that warm Filipino hospitality have always taken me straight down memory lane to the Philippines. 🇵🇭❤️ That’s why it’s disappointing to see the San Antonio location slowly lose what makes Jollibee special. Lately, the service feels disorganized and slow, the quality seems inconsistent, and that warm Filipino welcome and atmosphere seem to be disappearing. On my most recent visit, I even received only 5 pieces of chicken when I ordered 6. Jollibee shouldn’t feel like just another busy fast-food chain. The Filipino warmth, hospitality, pride, and quality are part of the brand—and just as important as the Chickenjoy. I’m sharing this not simply to complain, but because we love Jollibee and want this location to do better. Please bring back the quality, organization, and unmistakable Filipino spirit that made us fall in love with Jollibee in the first place. We want our Jollibee back. 🇵🇭🐝❤️“

“Small place, small menu, great flavor. Exceptional service and friendly staff. It's in a very busy area but worth the visit. Chicken is juicy, its cooked perfectly 👌🏽 and you don't have to get any sauce on the chicken. The Golden Original is good by itself. But the sauce chicken is good too. Well, the sauces it tried were. Would definitely visit again.“

“I recently visited a late-night food spot nearby and had an excellent experience that completely exceeded my expectations. The restaurant had a lively and welcoming atmosphere, making it the perfect place to grab food after a long day or enjoy a meal with friends late at night. Even during busy hours, the staff remained friendly, attentive, and quick with service.“

“Amazing chicken! The waffle fries were sooooo good. Came in and they had like 30 kids eating. Juan made sure our food got out timely and kept checking on us, I was curious about the hot as cluck sauce and he brought out a small bottle so we can try it was spicy can’t imagine the hotter one. Great service and got our food fast even with all the kids there. Be back soon will tell my coworkers to give it a try as well.“

“This is the best Korean fried chicken place ever!!!! The owner couple knew it was our birthday bc we brought cake and even played birthday playlist for us. Best Korean anjoos and chicken ever. Crispy skin and it was such an amazing relaxing vibe. Very nice and big space with lots of nice tables. They also have draft beer which is very refreshing and nice variety. Very affordable and good pricing!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ perfect place for a birthday gathering“

“Started coming here when my dad would take the family it's been 10 yrs now still amazing food (posting after 8 years) food quality still amazing just wish they kept the old containers for the teriyaki plates the new eco friendly ones break apart too easily and rice sticks to the bottom“
