The noodle dishes are truly amazing if you are looking for something authentic. Don’t let the “chicken” in the name mislead you into thinking that’s all they do. The service is honest and warm and if you happen to be from the region, it’s easy to strike up a conversation with the owners. Bonus!
Chicken Licious, located in a busy Asian mall, is a great spot for a delicious meal. The place has a modern and clean look that stands out even in the crowded mall.
One of their best dishes is the Crispy Chicken Leg. It's cooked perfectly with a crunchy outside and juicy inside, making every bite enjoyable. The warm chicken soup is also fantastic—it's tasty and full of flavor, perfect for a comforting meal.
The egg roll is another winner here. It has a crispy exterior and is filled with a flavorful mix of vegetables and meat. Each bite is crunchy and satisfying.
Even though the mall can get crowded, Chicken Licious offers a nice escape with its good food and pleasant atmosphere. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty chicken leg, tasty soup, or a crispy egg roll, this place delivers quality food that makes it worth the visit.

I’m clueless as to why people rated it so highly. It’s overpriced bad Malaysian food. The only good thing is that they provide free chicken soup (but the soup itself is not representative of Malaysian cuisine).

This was my first time having Malaysian/Singaporean food, and I had high hopes. Unfortunately, the fried chicken was dry and flavorless—maybe that's how it's supposed to taste, but I'm not sure. On the positive side, I enjoyed the sides that came in the bento box and the unlimited chicken broth. If I go back, I'll definitely try something else on the menu.

I'm so happy there is a Malaysian cuisine restaurant in Nor Cal, I've been searching for so long, and restaurants are either Singaporean or they are closed. I drove from Mountain View, and it's so worth it. It tastes like what I had when I was a kid in Malaysia. Thank you for bringing authentic Malaysian food to the Bay Area. I'm so touched.

We ordered the Hainan chicken rice and Nasi lemak. Both are ok but have been somewhat altered from the original version normally found in Malaysia, especially the Nasi lemak.For the chicken rice, the rice is flavorful, the chicken is tender but this version has a dark broth. It is good and still worth a try.The rice of the Nasi lemak has a bright green color. I think it is supposed to show that pandan juice has been added for a pandan flavored rice. But natural pandan color wouldn't be this bright, food coloring must have been added, which is disappointing and a little disturbing for me. This nasi lemak comes with flavorful lemon grass chicken and a sour (acha) salad, which is nice but it lacks the regular sides such as crispy fried anchovy and chili paste with belachan (sambal belachan), which for me is a must have for nasi lemak (the chicken and acha salad don't normally come with nasi lemak). An altered spicy onion sauce with a few anchovy was included, I won't call that sambal belachan though, it doesn't have any of the flavor. Because of that, I didn't feel satisfy after consuming the nasi lemak that I was craving for.

A big portion for me. It looks Iike for two people to have it. Home made sauces are a plus for the foods. Also, no bones with the chicken. Tasty side dish of pickled veggies. Yummy and Delicious!So glad they added some many varieties menu now that makes me have more choices and want to go there more often.

We had a great meal at Chicken Licious. We ordered three meals between us because we wanted to try as much as possible. Our overall favorite dish was the nasi lemak. The chicken was braised in a lemongrass curry mixture and the flavors were fantastic. The sides all paired well with the chicken and rice.
The char kway teow was also very good. Lots of wok hei there and they were generous with the toppings and portion. It wasn’t super flavorful but I think it’s meant to be paired with the spicy shrimp paste, which the owner recommended to us. It was perfect with the sauce.
We also had the smashed fried chicken. Perfectly fried and juicy chicken. Can’t ask for more. We’ll come back to try the egg chow fun. The owner was super friendly and gave us recommendations on what to try and what sauces to use with what (there are eight!). He even let us try a curry puff and it was fantastic.
Chicken Licious was super authentic and brought me back to Southeast Asia. This is a must-try and I can’t wait to go back.
Hours listed are wrong. They closed on a Monday when I arrived between 3-4.
