Uncle's Chicken

I'm surprised this place hasn't gone viral. This is one of those businesses that I wouldn't be surprised to see on a food influencer's TikTok page. The chicken was filling, crispy and delicious and didn't give us that heavy greasy -ick feeling that a lot of fried food can give you. The chicken wrap was so good, kind of reminded me of a better version of McDonald's snack wrap. The chicken sandwich was also perfect, light and crispy. They give you a great serving of waffle fries that are hot and crispy. We also got strawberry mango smoothies which were so refreshing and flavorful. I'm so happy to have found a fried chicken place that doesn't make me feel sick after. Can't wait to come back!

The spicy whole fried chicken looked bigger in the pictures. It's as long as a kitchen scissor. It can be shared if you're the sharing type. Can feed 2 people or 1 very hungry person. The size and taste for the price of $16.49 is a great deal. The spicy is actually spicy so I recommend getting the regular if you can't handle the heat. This whole fried chicken has bones so when you tear/bite into it be aware. They also have popcorn chicken and that is bone free. Service is quick and prompt. Don't want to wait? Call ahead and pick it up.

Made fresh to order. We ordered spicy and original chicken wings.Nice and crunchy. Loved the taste.Spicy was great. Not too hot. If you ever get a chance. Stop by and check it out.

I'm not too chicken to give a restaurant a second chance and I'm glad I did because this place is peck-tacular! After a rough first visit during the soft opening, I visited this place again and was pleasantly surprised.For the food, I had popcorn chicken, waffle fries, and the shrimp sandwich. Notwithstanding my large size, I know my way around shrimp. The shrimp sandwich here is really good! The patty is filled with shrimp and has a nicely golden brown breading. It comes with lettuce, tomato, and a delicious sauce. This is the best shrimp sandwich I've ever had!The popcorn chicken is also clucking delicious. It comes with an orange sauce that is similar to the rest of the flock of chicken restaurants. The waffle fries have really leveled up since my last visit and are now worth waffling over. Located in the same shopping center as Diners/Upscale, a visit Uncles should satisfy all of your greasy desires.

Coming back to this chicken place, as the first time we had a good experience! Quietsimple chicken restaurant run by a couple, she out front & him in the kitchen. Ordered the 6 piece original fried chicken wings & drumsticks, came with can mayo corn & two scoops of white rice with furikake on top. An order of fried onion rings & a Diet Coke 12 oz can. Asked for ice & drinking water &both can in nice clear plastic, disposable cups. Food was great, fried chicken hot, onion rings, fried well, asked for an got ranch & ketchup packets. Total about $24. Ranch dressing cost .50 extra. They package up all the food in a paper shopping bag, so you can either take out or eat in ! Like their eatery & the nice couple that run it!

I love the crunch,.. so good! Not so happy about pink ish chicken meat. My friend warned me... that's their way to cook? Just a few minutes longer and it would be perfect! Maybe give them another chance next month... hoping

It being off my beaten path, I wasn't aware of Uncle's Chicken until someone posted a photo of their fried whole chicken in a Facebook group. This was something different.Today I had something to take care of in the Kalihi area, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to stop by Uncle's Chicken. It was easy to find, among the array of small eating and other establishments all sharing the same parking lot, next to the Post Office.I had the place all to myself when I entered. The gentleman behind the counter helped me to place my order for the Crispy Fried Whole Chicken. He said it would take 15 minutes, then went into the kitchen. A short while later, a lady came out and stood at the counter. She helped a customer who came in after me.There were children at one of the tables, quietly entertaining themselves. I assumed they belonged to the couple.Before I knew it, the woman said something and brought a tall bag containing the chicken over to where I was sitting.I made my way home with the bag of hot food. My wife had prepared something else for lunch by then (another new recipe), so we had that first. Later we finally got around to tasting the chicken.The chicken was crispy on the outside, of course, but the meat inside was tender and moist. And it definitely wasn't bland - some would consider it "spicy" or even "hot." I found the flavor interesting and nice.https://www.facebook.com/HawaiiWorldLEN/posts/pfbid02s6cXgC7LwPkNbRkcNBPSH74Dmz88vsN6MqD7kTdE5Qj8vspEH5fkFGVuKzDnkK1Jl

I like chicken, particularly popcorn chicke, and they got good chicken. Friendly mom and pop spot, I like supporting that kine.

Ordered fruit teas and an uji matcha latte.The uji matcha latte tasted like coconut and I reallllllly did not like it. Couldn't drink more than a few sips before tossing.Topical fruit teas were decent, I don't like having seeds in my teas but it seems to be a common factor for tea places to put seeds in. Small family owned establishment with kids, but nice people.

If you're in the mood for made to order fresh fried chicken sandwiches and boba then this is the place to go in Kalihi! Super crispy fried chicken! If you have a sweet tooth craving then you can also get a boba to go after eating your fried chicken sandwich.
