Chicken Shops in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

“After I had Jollibee in Alhambra, it became my first choice for fried chicken. I won't have other fried chicken if Jollibee is nearby. I was on a short vacation to Las Vegas and needed something to eat on the way. I checked the map and found a Jollibee in Rancho Cucamonga, not far from the I-210. Just before transitioning to I-15, there are not many restaurants along the way to Las Vegas, so this was the last chance for a good meal.

I followed Google Maps and it guided me to Seafood City. There are two big Filipino supermarket chains in Southern California: one is Seafood City and the other is Island Pacific Supermarket and Seafood. Seafood City always has a Grill City attached, while Island Pacific has PhilHouse. Both are Filipino fast food restaurants. I had PhilHouse twice at the Rancho Cucamonga location--very authentic and with good taste. Unfortunately, that location was closed, but fortunately Island Pacific has more than 30 locations, all attached with PhilHouse.

Jollibee is inside Seafood City, which makes sense since Jollibee is also a Filipino fast food chain. This time we had a Bucket Treat A, which includes a 6pc Chickenjoy Bucket, and I selected Spaghetti and Mashed Potato for the two sides.

The Chickenjoy Bucket had 3 pairs of legs and thighs, as good as always--crispy shell, tender and juicy chicken. By the way, remember to get the spicy one instead of plain. I had both, and the plain one was just flat and normal, but the spicy version had much more flavor. I mentioned in the review of the Jollibee headquarters location that the mashed potato was not made from powder but from real potatoes, so you can taste the potato chunks--very good texture.

The Jolly Spaghetti was very cute. It contained several tiny sausage pieces, and both the sausage and the spaghetti were sweet, but a bit too sweet. As a Shanghainese, I really have a sweet tooth, but still couldn't stand that sweetness. By the way, I didn't find any ground beef--maybe this side doesn't include ground beef in its ingredients?

Anyway, it was still a very good meal. Then I got back on the road and headed to Las Vegas.“

“I ordered the 14 pc Familia dinner with sides of beans & rice. Everything was excellent. The customer service was great.“

“Eric H. has AMAZING customer service!!!! He is so nice and friendly and just really seems to love his job!! Very clean store as well and the food is always bomb!

Vegetarian options: I really love the plantspired bowel with added avocado it's always a winner for me“

“The location is new and busy so I was quite impressed the the restaurant’s efficiency and high quality of customer service.“

“I currently live in Maryland and I’m always craving this chicken! I can’t wait to come back to California in November so I can get some chicken! Best chicken I have ever had!!!“

“I never do reviews on food places, but yesterday i was craving some chicken and i saw this waba was still open and OMG the chicken was so tender and well done. Maybe i was so hungry idk but it was delicious and my food was ready in minutes. This place 10/10“

“I was pleasantly surprised by how good this place was! The restaurant was clean, and the cashier was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the steak bulgogi bowl while my husband got the plate version, both were delicious. I also tried one of their refresher drinks, and it was so good! Everything was fresh and flavorful. I’d definitely come back for lunch again sometime.“

“This place just popped up and, despite the location, all of the old reviews and pictures are for the Korean fried chicken joint. Ignore that. This place is great. Fresh noodles, everything is steamed and super clean, it's reasonably priced, and it's a nice place to sit down and have some of the best noodles around. This is a different style compared to some of the other places in Rancho, so give this a try and you won't regret it.“

“I've been going to this Waba for close to 10 years, usually being 2-4x a week for lunch. The staff is incredibly friendly and the food has never missed. I highly recommend this location over others locally. I've been to other local locations and just did not get the service I've always gotten at this location.“
