Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (775) • $$

"This is hands down the best Southern-style food I've had in the OC! The chicken is perfectly crispy with just the right amount of kick. Their baked beans and macaroni and cheese are absolutely delicious. The chicken tenders are massive! You get three, but they're so sizable and filling that you could easily share them.We've also ordered catering from Gus's before, and everything was packaged so neatly, making it super convenient for gatherings. And let me just say, I LOVE their chess pie! I didn't know what it was at first, but after trying it, I decided it's pure heaven.The restaurant has a laid-back vibe with a welcoming touch. Gus's is the ultimate comfort food spot, and I always leave feeling completely satisfied."

Dave's Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (581) • $$

"Update: They resolved it!They did more than resolve things. I was honestly shocked at the sense of urgency and determination that I was met with upon management learning about the debacle that occurred during our previous interaction. I only came back hoping to have had things made right but was accommodated far beyond expectation on both the management and corporate level. I am not sure that I believe in a five star update, but given the effort that I witnessed it is only appropriate to leave just that. Thank you for everything. I really appreciate it. Five stars !"

Yup Dduk Irvine

★★★★★ 4.5 (542) • $$

"So so good. Got the Rose Yup Dduk with ramen..aka Rabokki. Fun texture, but till quite spicy!! You can see the chili flakes in the gochujang sauce. Loved the melted mozzarella cheese on top and mixing it in with the ramen and TBK was so satisfying. Would love to try with the Chinese Flat Noodles next time (are those the same as glass noodles? Curious.).Service great too, was ready in 15 minutes or so!"

Crunchicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (501) • $$

"Chicken was super crispy (not oily) but a little dry. I got the soy garlic sauce on the tenders and it was absolutely delicious! The portions are huge. Fries and onion rings were crispy and delicious. Not oily at all. Paid .99 cents for ranch (which was hidden valley). The house sauce that comes on the chicken sandwich was delicious! Recommend getting that instead of the ranch. Service was friendly and food was brought to our table. Inside was clean. They offered us free soft serve ice cream before leaving but we were so full we passed. Next time!"

The Chicken Shop

★★★★★ 4.8 (410) • $$

"Run to the Chicken shop right now! Get the bowl, bowl and please order the garlic chili! Wow, what a great pairing in flavor. The bowl has lemon quinoa which I was a little skeptical about but trust me the flavor was big hit with my palate. Service was fast for dinner time but don't ask them to rush as they are preparing everything fresh. Nothing frozen! All healthy. Cozy atmosphere inside but they have tables outside. I didn't have time to eat at the location but next time I do, I will pair my bowl with a beer which is readily available onsite! Coming back here to tomorrow."

"A friend insisted that we try this little chicken restaurant, which is tucked away in a strip mall in Orange. We went for their Tuesday chicken sandwich deal. $4.99 for one of the best and juiciest chicken sandwiches I've ever had! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves a good chicken sandwich."

Kpop Rice Flour Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (448) • $$

"We were driving around looking for something tasty. One of our people can't do gluten, so options are a bit limited. We stumbled on K-pop and decided to give it a try. So I'll say, we didn't exactly blend in with the rest of their clientele... with that said, it didn't matter, the staff was awesome and made some great recommendations for our group. Super welcoming and chill. So we ended up ordering a bunch of random things.... Got a couple kinds of chicken. The garlic honey was yummy. Sides of sauces to dip in were great also. The meal comes with a side of salad and radish. I really liked them. It was a nice treat. Corn cheese was super good! Beers and saki was good and reasonably priced. Overall the food was good, and the service was awesome. I would definitely come back."

★★★★☆ 4.3 (455) • $$

"The Sign in front had me at wagyu lol. Pretty small location inside. It was decently busy not much of a line. I got the wagyu rice bowl in all honestly just my opinion I thought it was okay lol. The bowl reminded me of a fancier yoshinoya. The fries were my favorite they were crispy and fresh the taste was good balance. The burger sorry I don't remember which one it was it was okay too for what it is. Had alot of cabbage. Overall the cashier and everyone was very nice and helpful."

Chick-fil-A

"Clean, clean, and I mean Clean. That is what I like. Theemployees take pride in working at this location. They place flowers on the tables, will come aroundand clean up your used items, or they will refill yourdrinks for you. The service is better than a lot of restaurants in the area. They upgraded the take out drive through. This is a showcase location for Chick-fil-A. The bathroom are too small for how many people go to this restaurant. The high school kids who frequent the place can get too rowdy for some of who like it quiet, however, this is a great place for lunch."

Dave's Hot Chicken

★★★★★ 4.5 (295) • $$

"I heard the hype. Mainly from my daughters.I get it now. It took me a bit to try Dave's, but that day came recently.Tried the #4 which is your standard chicken slider with fries. Got a DC, to wash it down. Good portion of food. It was plenty for me.Pretty solid. Sizey chicken strip on a soft bun with slaw, pickles, and sauce. I opted for the "Hot" spice level. Pickles really set it off. Heat level was decent. Fries were tasty.I'd rate Dave's at the top of the local chicken sandwich scene which includes Cane's, Wendy's, Popeye's, Chick Fil-A, etc.Prices are ok."

"This place is definitely giving your local waffle connoisseur a run for their money ! Came to this location because I wanted to see if it was worth the hype and they definitely get a A+ in my books!! I have has been to several Asian countries that he and I both agree that this waffle has a different kind of texture that is similar to some form of fusion of your traditional American waffle with street Asian fried food batter It's definitely unique and in its own lane as far as waffles currently on the market in the US ! It was very flaky and delicious and the portions were just right ! The service was very pleasant and quick ! It is located in the food court within the mall so the ambience honestly just depends on how pack the surrounding locations are, but it was very clean and well kept . The food and service was definitely a five out of five I will be back to this location when in the area"

Furai Chicken

★★★★★ 4.5 (284) • $$

"The chicken sandwich was hot and tender, and the glaze sets it apart with a unique savory/sweet flavor combination. The sandwich with the fried egg is unique, tasty and fresh! The pickled cucumber salad is a SPICY pickled cucumber. The serving is pretty small for six bucks though. The ambience is straightforward small-shop chill. Staff are laid back and nice. I wish for some kind of additional vegetable option to round out the fried goodness and make me feel healthier."

Bao Chick

★★★★☆ 4.3 (305) • $$

"The staff here are super passionate about their fried chicken--both the popcorn chicken and chicken strips have that amazing crispy crunchy breading. And paired with their house sauce? DIVINE.Besides the chicken, what I loved even more are the grilled baos and soup dumplings that would give Din Tai Fung a run for their money. Literally oozing with soup and honestly one of the best I've ever had!Thanks for reading! ^-^"

Fire Wings

★★★★☆ 3.9 (361) • $$

"After the Fire Wings closed down in Fountain Valley (I still wonder why to this day) we've been coming to the location in Irvine to get our wings fix. Love the wings here! So far the only item that we order. It's a pretty vibing spot here especially when there are games going on. If you order in person, there is a wait for the times I have gone they have been pretty busy. So I try to place my order online for a bit of a quicker pick-up. Customer service has been A-OK. Youngings... I don't have much to say other than that it can be better improved.Our most enjoyed flavors are: Lemon pepper, Cali Rub, Thai Chili, Saigon street, Korean Kick and BBQ Chipotle. We always get it "Extra Crispy" - this is a must especially if you got wings that are coated with the sauce. Seasoning and flavors are spot on yummy and the wings are juicy! Fire Wings is a super solid wing spot. IMO definitely better than the other spots.The only con I have is that the take out are packaged in Styrofoam. Not environmental friendly and doesn't biodegrade. Not the biggest deal but I hope they will change it in the future."

Some spaces have time limits which are colored coded.Always greeted and seated promptly.I always get their Hainan chicken with rice combo. Fresh and delicious along with the tasteful sauces. Ginger/oil, soy sauce and sweet chili sauces are all delicious.Service is fast and friendly."

"Wanted fried chicken and heard this place was good. So, I tried four different flavors. Got the honey garlic, soy garlic, gang nam style, and original wings along with 2 curly fries, 2 corn salads, and a side of white rice. I have to admit, all were so flavorful, saucy, crunchy, juicy, and perfectly fried. Can't go wrong with curly fries. I could have done without the corn salads. It was like a cold coleslaw.Want to give a shout out to AERIEL and KHOA!!! Both provided amazing service. Super helpful, friendly, personable, and fun. Made dining there an experience. They definitely deserve a raise. Only writing this review because of my experiences with the two. I would definitely come back."

"My husband and I basically choked from inhaling this meal too fast, it was too good. The chicken was steamed well, the sabaw (soup in Tagalog) was CLEAN, and we ATE this up.This is such a homey meal that reminds you of when your grandparents made you a bowl of chicken and rice to show they love you. The rumors are true - this place is amazing. My husband was especially pleased...."

Dave's Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.3 (179) • $$

"First time trying Dave's Hot Chicken and I am impressed. They have fried chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders and fries. New to their menu is fried cauliflower which you can get as a sandwich or as bites. They have 7 heat levels from no spice to reaper. We got the two sliders with fries combo and a side of the cauliflower bites and it was perfect for two people to share. We got mild which was perfect my partner who can't handle much heat. Fried chicken was tender but a little salty for my taste. Would have been nice to have a little more slaw in the sandwich to balance it out.This location has indoor and outdoor seating and is smaller compared to other locations (according to our friends). Overall very clean and cashier was friendly. I would go again."

Zach's Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.4 (143)

"Wow I think about this chicken everyday. Chicken sandwiches are my favorite fast food, since Chick-fil-A raised their prices and lowered the quality of their chicken I haven't been able to find a place that I crave the same way I did pre covid chick fil a. Zach's blows them out of the water in every regard. These strips are comically large think half a chicken breast freshly butterflied made to order. Nobody has as fresh ingredients or as generous portions as Zach's. As for the technique you know these people see food as an art. They aren't just making fried chicken with all the teenage against or midlife resentment that you'd get from any other fast food joint. These are made with love. They let the oil drip off instead of soaking in so be patient they can't make these as fast as mc nuggets. But here's the kicker for me the reason that I'd give them 100+ stars for if I could. Their service is unmatched. I was out with a group of 20 people they all decided to go to Buffalo Wild Wings cause they're ignorant or maybe they hate themselves or their mothers didn't love them. That's beside the point. I could not bring myself to get anything from B-dubs when Zach's is right across the street calling my name. So I call Zach's and let them know I'm in a rush so I'd like to place the order over the phone. Jordan, God bless your soul, let's me know they don't take phone orders, but starts my order anyways in good faith without taking any payment info. I get there in 5 minutes and my order is ready within 1 minute of getting there I pull up to BWW and the boys haven't even had their order taken before I introduce them to the hangry Zach Risky (mild spice I think it's dipped in chili oil).I converted the sinners that day and needless to say given the option no one in that group will choose 2.5 star Buffalo Wild Wings over Zach's again. I'll update my review with pictures next time I go."

"Been coming for the awhile but this is going to be our last. Came here on Thursday around lunch time with our family who came to visit us. What we ordered: 2 lunch specials. (Caribbean spice, honey garlic). Small 8 chicken wings soy garlic. Small 8 boneless chicken soy garlic. 2 gyoza. The reason why this will be the last because it looks like there wasn't any sauce on the chicken and we had to pay extra to add more sauce. Who does that...as you can see from the pictures...it's just a small drizzle. Which was really sad. I love to eat the picked radish and we also had to pray extra for more of the picked radish....it seems this place is money driven...not customer service driven. The server didn't seem to help us. Wasn't kind or friendly. Also one of the Togo boxes had a dead bug in it.....so yah...no thank you."

Furai Chicken - La Habra

★★★★☆ 4.4 (134) • $$

"Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. FOR REAL! We came here twice in a week after discovering it and we are not disappointed each time. But do take note that it takes a few more minutes to get the chicken to that level of crispiness. So don't come in rushing to eat and go. Place is nice and clean so get ready to sit and relax while you wait for your orders."

Zach's Chicken

"Located in the Metro Pointe plaza, this fast-casual eatery is at the far end of the complex. They do the popular Nashville chicken sandwich thing (although they also serve beef burgers).All ordering is done at a kiosk then you take a seat and they call your name when it's ready. A sweet and helpful young woman came out to check on me as I started to order on the kiosk to let me know she was there to help if I had any trouble and sure enough I quickly did. I thought the screen froze up but it just needed to be swiped upward. Quit laughing; I'm old and feeble minded.Lots of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating is available. I sat inside and ate my Zach's Original sandwich (two chicken tenders in a brioche bun with pickles and their secret sauce), crinkle fries, and fresh squeezed lemonade. You can order your chicken at various spice levels but I got mine at the "easy" level. Which is the same a "pretty much none".The chicken had a delicious crispy exterior and juicy, quality, white-meat chicken beneath. These were the best chicken tenders I've had. The brioche bun tried to hold up but was too fresh and soft to hold together for the duration so I was picking up pieces with my fingers before I was finished. The lemonade was superb - I really liked it and would push you to get it as your drink if you like lemonade. The fries would have been good if not mercilessly over salted. After eating several I think my tongue dried up to resemble a raisin. Instead of ketchup I got a small container of their smoky sauce for dipping which I thought was pretty tasty and lived up to its name.I randomly ate here after going to a movie in this plaza and got lucky - I'm glad I tried it."

"6pm on a Sat and while it wasn't too crazy busy, there was a steady stream of people coming in and out of the restaurant. Once most of my party started arriving, they seated us quickly. Party got started and we had tons of food and soju; the seafood pasta was our favorite, the kimchi fried rice and soy garlic bbq wings were awesome.Preston was a stellar server!! Definitely made our whole reunion night a blast. Thank you for taking care of us! If you want great food with no wait time, def recommend this place."

Chicken On Rice

★★★★★ 4.6 (74) • $$

"Location / It is located in a plaza where there's plenty of parking for you. The restaurant inside is quite spacious and you can dine in. Service / You actually order on the kiosk and they will bring the food out for you. So there is kind of a minimal interaction with the staff, but the kiosk is very user-friendly and has pictures with the menu items with prices. Food / I got their chicken and rice which came with some hot broth on the side, some veggies, chicken, broth, rice, and of course they're poached chicken. The chicken came out very tender and juicy, and gave her a pretty good portion of it. The rice was really fragrant and I think the combo of chicken and rice was the perfect combination . Even though it is such a simple dish, it is such a comforting meal and does not make you feel terrible. I will definitely come back here again when I'm craving for chicken and rice as it's a lot more closer to where I am and happy that I don't need to drive to LA for this."

Sabor Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.1 (93) • $$

"So glad to have found this restaurant for authentic Peruvian food. Their Lomo Saltado tasted delicious! It satisfied my craving for Peruvian food. It costed $21.99 which I think was more than worth it. Their green sauce is AMAZING. I poured every ounce of it on my plate. I would 11/10 come back again!"
