been going here for over 15yrs. always great food and fast service. my number #1 go to will always be the wings and rice. but recently the pork chop burger is fire too! read more

Great food, quick service and very convenient. Just remember it's a cash only place but you will enjoy

No seasoning, over fried. Absolutely a waste of money. I'm not sure about this place.

If you're going for the chicken wings, bomb! Great crunch and well seasoned. I've had the fried fish as well, it's not it. The fried shrimp is also yummy! read more

#1 Chicken Rice & Seafood on Almeda Rd is one of the best quick food spots in Houston. The chicken is crispy, the fried rice is packed with flavor, and the portions are generous for the price. Service is always fast and friendly. Definitely a go-to spot if you're craving good chicken and rice or seafood. read more

Really great prices and it's cash only! The service is quick and easy. Food is simple but definitely does the job!

As a Houstonian foodie, this place is complete trash! This was my first and last time spending money and time at this whole in the wall of a "restaurant". Initially, I the noticed a very disgusting dust-filled fan, which threw me off. After receiving my order of unseasoned chicken wings and an assortment of "shrimp fried rice" I was disappointed!! Please people, eat here if you want to be let down and disappointed - this place is trash read more

Was looking for some good chicken wings. Found this location through yelp. The chicken looked exactly like the photos on here. Ordered spicy. Not sure if it was any different from regular because they tasted regular to me. they were krispy like popeyes wings. The food came out in about 3 mins flat. I collected my bag and was on my way. It's a very small place. Basically for you to pick up your food, or order it and go. read more

The spicy chicken is really good either hot or cold. The prices keep going up though, which is disappointing.

So this is a little hole in the wall spot. Bars on the window type vibe but don't be intimidated chicken is hot and crunchy. I got spicy wing and some fried rice. The plate is HEAVY.. definitely got some weight to it and for a good price. I got spicy but it could've been spicier if I'm being honest or I maybe should've gotten a pepper that would've hit the spot. The rice reminds me of the old Timmy Chans style rice back in the day when it was good. So overall I had a really affordable plate that was definitely filling and the chicken was hot and fresh. I'd come again if I'm around. read more

It's been the same way for last 30 years. Happy they still consistent these many years later. Something about that triple crispy, lightly seasoned chicken wings that has it in business this long. Service is cool. It will take some time as they usually business but order is mostly always accurate. Will return for more soon. read more

Service is whatever, but the food makes up for it. We ordered the 3 piece chicken and 1fish 3 shrimp meal which was ready pretty quickly! The only con to this place is that they only take cash. It's 2021, it's time to take credit cards/ Apple Pay. read more

Make sure you check your receipt before leaving. I ordered 3p wings roll and shrimp fried rice, i was informed of the up charge for the shrimp. 3.75 for little baby hot pink shrimp. Once i paid and got to my car i thought about the total and it felt like i was way to much even with up charge. Oh yea cause i was charged for a 5p with shrimp rice. ANDDD a whole other order of just wings labeled as MISC on the ticket. I didn't ask for this but was charged for it. And they make sure to but no refunds on the receipt so once you make it out the building it's nothing you can do. That's just that the food dosnt even make it okay that you got extra everything lacks flavor. For this to be an older spot and five min from an HBCU they need to work on spices. I feel scammed for lower the mid grade food. Walked away spending twice as much as i should've being charged for items i didn't order then saying no refunds no expectations. I didn't ask for this but i charged me for it. You don't get a receipt till after u pay so u don't even know what you charged for just a number amount. read more

This will be my 18th year or so that I visit. I used to visit more often when I worked nearby. But whenever I am in the medical center or off of 288 I have to stop. You can call ahead and it's never more then 6-10 min for pick up. The food is good/ the price is good and the kitchen is dated but clean. I think it's the owner's son that runs it now. They have plenty of cold drinks to pick from. Ask for the condiments and they never stingy on them just ask. read more

Excellent chicken! We found this place , last Friday after leaning another establishment that had too long of a line. We pulled up to a small place with a sign that let me k ow We we're at a down home fried chicken place. There was no eat in area but the line moved quickly.the chicken was flavourful and very crispy. I wished we'd ordered more. read more

Best chicken wings in Houston. Bar none. There is no dine in option. Not a great part of town. Get your chicken and go. read more

Simple and Sweet They are a mom and pop shop doing fried chicken really well! I didn't feel like waiting so I phoned my order in and got a 3 piece chicken dinner with fried rice and a fish burger. Everything was really good. All of this came in at about $9.50 which is quite affordable considering how much food you get. The fried chicken was moist and seasoned beautifully. The skin is quite crunchy and not too greasy. The fried rice is good but somewhat bland. I would recommend adding soy sauce or salt to it. The fish burger was also good but some additional tartar sauce would have been appreciated. This place is somewhat hood but it's alright. The staff are there to get you in and out so don't go expecting a huge welcome party with smiles on their faces. The place smells like fried chicken grease and you'll probably smell like it too after setting foot in there. Last tip is CASH ONLY, no card. Would come back! read more

Crunchiest Fried Chicken in hot, plentiful servings, accompanied by fresh bread rolls. Fried trout was served with fried rice, salad and rolls.

#1 Chicken Rice & Seafood - I haven't been here in years, and this is what I get. What a disappointment!!! - Burgers Near Me - Houston, Texas

Premier with zero frills and an institution for fried chicken in Houston for many years.

Their wings got a lot smaller! Or maybe it was the time (6:30 pm) of the day I went? Regardless, I doubt I'll be back. And it's too bad because I ate there all the time when I worked downtown (25 years). The next time I want wings, it'll be Timmy Chans. read more

They got it right! Great wings and fries every time!!! Please be sure to bring cash - it's all they accept.

The wings are consistently delicious, hot and fresh. For the most part I always order the 5 wings with either fries or fried rice and can pop for $7.99. This is such a reasonable price. Twice, the crinkle fries were perfect. The last time, the fries were some of the worst fries i have had. I gather that they don't always stick with the same brand...too bad, because I love crinkle cut fries . The fried rice is good, just wish that it did not have chicken in it, but that is okay...I just pick the chicken out. My recent visit I decided to try the pork chop because the pics look tasty. I will say that it was pretty good, but I would recommend that if ever you order, to order at least two because it does not have a lot of meat...it is half bone.. I tried the sweet potato pie, and it was very good. All in all, this is my go-to place for fried wings...hope that they get some better crinkle cut fries, and stick with them. Oh, I forgot...the egg roll was also good. read more

The service is fast and friendly, but the food is nothing to rave about. The spicy chicken wings are just okay. The texture is spot on, they're crispy and juicy. There's no flavor or seasoning. I didn't taste any type of spice or spec of anything. The fries are nothing special. read more

TO GO ONLY / CASH ONLY My first impression of the establishment wasn't the best. Walking to the door there was a man laying on the ground just chilling. It was 6pm on a Tuesday, I couldn't tell if he was intoxicated or he was so consumed by the delicious smell and just decided to camp there. The ordering process is very simple and quick. You place your order and then they give you a paper number. They call the number and you pay when you pick up your food. I was in and out in like 15 minutes. Me and my friend ordered the 3 piece chicken with fries and the 2 piece chicken with fried rice. We took our meal back to my apartment. Opening the box I was really surprised at how big the pieces were! I only got the 2 piece and I was ridiculously full. There wasn't anything special about the fries or fried rice but the chicken was moist and tender and the breading but perfectly crunchy. My friend compared it to Popeyes but I beg to differ. Popeyes quality is so inconsistent; I'll get tiny pieces that are soggy! Although I love Popeye's spicy breading and mashed potatoes, if I have a hankering for fried chicken I would definitely come back to this place. Cheaper than Popeyes! For the price and quality, it is worth it. Plus you're supporting a small local business versus a franchise. read more

This ain't it folks. Not for me. If you are hungry and just need something real quick then it might be for you but I didn't like the wealthy or the flavor of the food. I was really disappointed. But I think it's just not my style. Really americanized chinese food without a hint of Chinese flavor. read more

Pretty average crispy fried chicken for pretty cheap. All the fried items are pretty bland. Asked for spicy wings and chicken but got regular ones. This place is a hole in a wall off alameda kinda close to the turkey leg hut. It's off in a stand-alone corner in a ran down building. Parking is easy to find. You order first and then pay when your food is ready. Just remember cash only. No bills over 100. No dine in. Charge extra for packets of ketchup. No cell phones while ordering. No ice. Kinda dirty. Kinda tasty. read more

AMAZING! Best fried chicken in Houston!! I can't believe it took me so long to finally try this restaurant. I highly recommend the spicy wings. The seasoning is perfect and the chicken is so moist. They use just the right amount of batter on the chicken to create the perfect crunch. I also love their fried rice. It is full of amazing flavors and spices. #1 Chicken is definitely the best in town! You can't beat the quality nor the price. I can't wait to be back in the future! read more

The chicken is always good. I go for the 3 pieces with fries and extra biscuits. The place is cash only and one of the stable prices "dont wanna jinxed it ". If you are looking for a quick lunch/dinner for cheat day, this is your place. read more

The food is great but the service is bad, one day I went it was too young ladies serving and cursing acting stupid and the Asian manager act like he was scared to say anything to them. When it was time for me to order, the black lady ask me what do you want ? With a mean look. I asked her is this a food place? Because I want to order something to eat. I must have made her mad because she walked away without taking my order. the people in the restaurant started laughing at her. People started walking out the restaurant saying the Asian manager can't even managed his own workers. read more

One of my go-to places in Houston if I'm looking to get some tasty fried cuisine at a great price. I usually get the #26 - - 2 Fish with 6 butterfly shrimp on their Chicken Rice for $10.99 - - OMG it's like so damn good and the best part - not greasy at all, and not too salty or over spiced at all - -just right. My dinner comes with a small side salad that has some honey mustard dressing in it (very good). No dinner roll for me - if I'm gonna eat bread it better be fresh baked quality bread just outta the oven, especially if I'm gonna overcarb it and do some damage Oprah-style. Their tartar sauce is homemade and has a touch of sweetness to it. You'll want more and it can be used for anything so just pay the $1.69 for the larger 3oz container and you're all set. I've had the chicken wings here before and they rock too. The Chicken Fried Rice is very good and well priced @ $6.99 compared to some places who can be closer to $10. The rice grain itself isn't the best quality (i.e. jasmine / basmati / long grain) but it's great the same day. A Few Other Notes: - It's CASH only - - no Apple Pay here. In fact if you probably say "Apple Pay" they'll think you're a psycho fruit-nut escapee and will tell you to GTFO. - Speaking of GTFO - everything here is TO-GO! No nice tables w/ seats and Perrier water w/ waiter service. You order, they give you a number (you better pay attention); it's packed it in a styrofoam container, you pay and then you GTFO because there's gonna be a line forming. Eat it in your car (some do) or take it home (I do). - Don't worry about the bars on the windows - the people inside here are nice, it's all business, and there are employees here from over 4 Continents they all gel well 2ge+her. In fact, I think the city should recognize them w/ a Cultural Diversity Award. - Careful w/ the door entrance - - it's heavy and slams hard, and every time I walk in I get a bruise on my right side-deltoid. But I don't let that stop me (now that I think of it - it's probably a sign from the hyper-critical health-nuts Angels above). I continue to march onward because the pain is worth the gain. - Sweet Potato Pies (sometimes offered for sale) are very tasty and beats Patty LaBelle's by a notch, but at $1.70 for an itty-bitty pie (the size of a golf ball) - - ehhh. A buck would be an ideal price but then again - who am I to complain? I'm a nobody. I'm just a cog in the system. It's their world and I'm just a squirrel with a nut - tryin' to get some of that awesome fried fish and butterfly shrimp and chicken rice and homemade tartar sauce. That's why I keep coming back, and now you know the real reason for those bruises on my shoulder. read more

Hands down, the best fried chicken in town! The restaurant truly lives up to its name of #1 Chicken! I'll keep it short and simple, GET THE FRIED WINGS. The spicy fried wings are BOMB! The wings are seasoned to perfection. Better yet, they're fried to perfection too. After your first bite, you'll be like WOW. Quite possibly the crispiest chicken I've ever had. I assure you the wings will not disappoint. If you're not feeling wings though, opt for the fried shrimp or fish. The shrimp and fish are equally as crispy and just as yummy as the wings. If you're not feeling wings or seafood, get the fried pork chops. You get two juicy gigantic pork chops. The best part is the combos comes with a roll and either fries or fried rice! As you can see, the menu is super loaded and there's something for everyone here! All in all, you get a lot of food at such a great price. You not only get quantity here but quality food. If you haven't been here already, I suggest you get off ur butt and get here now! I cannot wait to return later this week. read more

The fried rice lacks flavor. Not what it was before. The fried chicken is tender and juice and NO flavor. Putting ketchup on the chicken does not count as flavor. read more
