Chicken Shops near Kailua, HI

“So good! Driving up to the North Shore from the airport we wanted something local. Family owned. No frills just awesome chicken. So juicy. We all had sandwiches and the pulled chicken is more like chunks with some pulled. Not overly shredded. And not doused with sauce. Just a nice enhancement. We had the melts and they were delicious. The bread is crusty but soft inside. An easy bite. And my son loved his Cajun fries. Off street parking in the rear.“

“Mazuha smile and say aloha (^.^)y-~
My simple brother is easy to deal with.
Lots of pictures of Uncle Kentucky
There are no customers
I buy Rocco at the drive-thru.
Kenta is just delicious.
Mashed potatoes are good??️✨“

“Everyone suggested stopping here after our time at Kualoa Ranch and there's a reason why. The chicken was delicious - I don't usually like sauces (yeah, I'm the person who eats their chicken plain) but the huli huli sauce was fantastic - I understand why people buy extra. Really phenomenal meal (and so much food!) - wish we had managed to get back again before we left Hawaii!“

“Plenty of ‘ono, ready-to-eat options like lumpia, pork hash and fried noodles with minimal wait time for plates. What the place lacks in size and seating options, it makes up for in nostalgia and aloha. It's reminiscent of Hawai‘i of old; think manapua man but with elevated fare. For the price, you can't beat the portion sizes, quality or service!“

“Waikiki Grill is another great stop in this little cluster of food trucks just a few blocks off the main drag. The area is easy to find, relaxed, and well worth the short walk if you want to get away from the busier tourist spots for a bit.

Everything about the setup feels casual and welcoming. You order from the truck, grab a spot at one of the outdoor picnic tables, and enjoy your food alongside a mix of locals and visitors. It has the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to slow down and hang out for a while instead of just eating and moving on.

The people running Waikiki Grill were friendly and welcoming, and the whole experience felt easy and genuine. This food-truck area turned out to be a great find, and Waikiki Grill fit right in with the relaxed local vibe.

Definitely worth walking a few extra blocks to check it out. Good food, good people, and a great casual place to stop for a meal.

Five stars. We would absolutely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good local food-truck experience in the area.“

“Mochiko chicken is good. Very crowded.
Most of the customers just do take out because there is only 3 sets of tables of 4,6,6 people.
Workers are not friendly but working hard.

Parking is tight in this side. The lady just hit our car when she opened her door.

Roast pork, not as good as some other plate lunch places.“

“Best chicken in Hawaii 🔥🔥“

“We had a tour guide take us around the Island. We wanted to go to an authentic place to eat, not fancy touristy restaurants. He recommended 2 places, (I won't say the other one on this review, but it was also excellent!) He brought us to Coral Kingdom for the Huli Huli Chicken. It was so flavorful, juicy and delicious! We loved the relaxed atmosphere and good food. After we ate, we went shopping and got some cute souvenirs. I'm so glad we didn't miss this spot.“

“Like the other reviewer said, you know it’s good when you see the owners’ kids sitting in the front doing their homework (hopefully).Coming from LA, this is the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Flavoring, spice level, juiciness, and crispiness were all top notch.
Food 10/10
Service 10/10
Atmosphere lowkey rundown and lacking AC but the food makes up for it“

“100% the best customer service on island! The lady who owns this place has always been so incredibly kind and welcoming! The food is honestly the best we’ve had since Korea! We live in kapolei but come here just to see her and experience the vibes ❤️❤️❤️“

“I had take out! It was a rlly big order almsot a $100 worth , I didn’t even wait that long for my food and it came out super and hot! THE SPAGHETTI was perfect. It was for family back at home and it held up perfectly thru the entire flight“

“Some people rate this restaurant like it's Roys. Me and my Mom love this place and love the customer service. 💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙“

“Recommended by a local - came here for a fried chicken fix and was not disappointed! Signature whole fried chicken was excellent - crunchy and juicy, and especially good with the chilli spice powder dip. Fries come with - but are a bit soggy, so good if you really need to fill up!

It can be confusing as the place seems to also be known for mala-tang chinese soup noodles - which looked and smelled amazing too! Lots of people here for the mala-tang as well.

Parking available across the street at the Jamba Juice/ Starbucks area!“

“Just Great Chicken and the sauce ain’t bad either. GEAUX GET CHA SOME“

“Im not sure where all these people went that are complaining about how bad it was but i hit the spot in downtown crossing boston for my very first trip to one and was an absolutely incredible meal. tenders were tender flavorful and juicy the texas toast was awesome the whole meal came out perfect. i was already on about a 3 mile boston adventure so i opted for the lemonade instead of my usual soda with meal and i will always get the lemondae. awesome job guys!“

“Take out only. Omg this K-pop chicken was amazing! Even the chicken tenders. Quick service. Hidden gem located next to Asahi Grill , must try!! Korean Chicken meets Island 🏝 there’s limited parking on street , but prices are well worth it and cheap and they give a lot!“

“the food and customer service was amazing“

“Slightly costly, but overall good flavor and a decent amount of food.

I did takeout. Ordered the boneless chicken plate, it was still crispy when I ate it later. Instead of Mac salad, it came with carrots, pickled daikon, ranch dressing over shredded cabbage and rice. I got the soy garlic sauce. I liked that they kept the sauce in a container separate so it doesn't make the chicken soggy.

No issues with service.

Atmosphere is pretty much the shared food hall, not too noise with good number of seats around the floor.“

“Ordered large butter chicken when I arrived. Better to order ahead. Takes 15 minutes if you order when you arrive. Chicken was very good and well packaged - they put in an open basket when they learned I was taking it to a party.
Take out is expected, there are only two small tables to sit while you wait for your chicken.“

“Workers are very nice and accommodating. Although they don't have electricity, they were organized and handled the ordered quickly. Had to pay cash though. The Guy was very nice, forgot his name but he was very good on handling the food.“

“My first experience with this fast food.

I ordered the 6 PC set, and only had to wait for around 5 minutes for the food to be dished out.

The chicken fingers were crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. The dipping sauce was also fantastic and it enhanced the meal.

The fries were done nicely as was the slice of toasted bread. The cole slaw was also delicious.

Service was fast and efficient and the atmosphere was also great.

Definitely worth repeat visits to this outlet.“

“This Chick-fil-A location is easily my favorite, especially because I prefer using the drive-thru. The service here is consistently excellent, and the employees are always incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. I especially appreciate seeing team members outside taking orders even when the weather isn’t great. Whether it’s raining, windy, or just uncomfortable outside, they still greet you with a smile and keep everything moving efficiently.

Another thing I really appreciate is how generous they are with sauces and napkins. I never feel like I have to beg for an extra sauce, and they always make sure I have everything I need before I leave. It may seem like a small detail, but it makes the overall experience so much better.

I’ve also been impressed by how accurate they are. I come here regularly, and I honestly can’t remember them ever getting my order wrong. The drive-thru is organized, the staff communicates well, and my food is always exactly what I ordered.

Just a heads-up for anyone visiting this location: there is no indoor seating, so keep that in mind if you’re looking for somewhere to sit down and eat. For me, that isn’t an issue because I specifically come here for the drive-thru.

I’ve also been loving the new s’mores coffees and shakes. They’re such a good seasonal treat and definitely worth trying. Great service, accurate orders, friendly employees, and consistently good food—this location keeps me coming back! It is always a reliable stop when I want something quick and easy.“

“comfort food at it's best“

“Our person who took our order was super friendly and she smiled the whole time. She had the Aloha spirit.“
