    I was in the area and wanted to something semi healthy after a long hike! My daughter recommended we go to Chicken Maison, the next one on our way home was in Santa Ana. We arrived and it was located in a shopping center, and there was plenty of parking. We walked in and the place was busy. The cashier was the sweetest girl with a big smile and very friendly. There is indoor seating and outdoor seating. They also have a clean bathroom. We ordered half chicken with the spicy lemon, garlic sauce, falafel, spicy hummus, and pita bread and vegetables. Everything was spectacular! The food was brought out to our table, hot, fresh and delicious. This place was already getting five stars, but if I can give them another star, I would. A manager or another employee came to our table and asked us how our food was and how we were doing. She was genuine, friendly, and not overbearing. I saw that she did this as she walked the floor. You don't get this kind of service anymore. We also were picking up our plates to tidy up after ourselves, and an employee came rushing to us to tell us that she would take care of it. Top notch service! I want to give this store location an applause for customer service and delicious food. If I'm in the area, I'm definitely coming back!

    My husband took the day off, so after shopping at South Coast Plaza, we were craving Chicken Maison. My husband is obsessed with their Spicy Lemon Garlic sauce. He said that Chicken Maison might be his favorite place to eat because of that sauce. He could eat it once a week and not get sick of it. I got their 1/2 Chicken Original Combo with rice and hummus. I enjoyed my meal. Everything was good. I just wish I would've substituted one of the sides with a salad. That would've balanced out my meal.

    Great first time experience at Chicken Maison! I am new to the area, so was excited find some local restaurants, and Chicken Maison had such amazing reviews, I had to try it out. The cashier was extremely nice and helpful when ordering, making recommendations and telling me about the most popular dishes. I followed his guidance and ordered 1/4 Spicy Lemon Garlic Chicken, with maison rice and tabbouleh. It was phenomenal. The chicken was cooked perfectly, not dry at all, and the marinade was super flavorful. Mixing all 3 components together led to the perfect bite! I also tried their baklava, which I learned is made fresh in-house. It was flaky and tasty without being too sweet. I can't wait to return and also take out of town guests here! Next up I want to try the kabobs.

    Service was super fast even though were getting a bit busy. The location was kept clean and were picking up dishes from tables right away which is nice! The manager also came up asking if everything was good . The food was super good and fresh. I got the 1/2 spicy lemon garlic chicken combo with falafel and veggies. As well as a side of spicy hummus. Both were not too spicy if you like super spicy stuff but still very good!

    It was my first time bringing my girlfriend here and I was so excited because I haven't been here in YEARS. As I came into the restaurant I was welcomed with super friendly service! She was able to help tell us her favorite. Another younger gentleman was also helping us and he was very personable and attentive. It was a calming and relaxing environment. 2000s R&B was playing and we were jammin while waiting for our food. Food: - 1/4 Chicken with rice and salad for $10 is a STEAL - I gave this one to my girlfriend and it's just as tender as I remembered it. Although the drumstick was a little bit more salty than the thigh for Spicy Lemon Garlic -Beef Kafta with Fallafel & Spicy Cole Slaw - I thought the beef was a little bit salty too but with the pita and salad it was good! Thanks so much Chicken Maison for the wonderful meal! We'll definitely be back soon.

    Chicken Maison is, dare I say, the best mediterranean spot in OC. There, I said it! We got the whole lemon basil chicken combo, with hummus and tabouli for our sides. Their sides are huge portions. We also got the gyro plate with potato salad and more hummus. They also give u pita bread. Let me tell you, everything was so fresh and delicious. Both of the meats were far from dry and had so much flavor. They have the best hummus that pairs perfectly with everything. This spot is order then sit down, but the staff is super present there and there to help with anything you need. Many people also stop by and order to go.

    Bugs in the salad. Dead and alive. Disgusting

    BUGS in all salads! Alive and dead. Worker tried to say it was their seasoning. Then she witnessed the bugs moving. We did receive a full refund but we will never return to this restaurant. They are obviously infested with bugs. Health department was contacted on 5/19/26. Disgusting.

    Whole Chicken of Lemon Garlic Spicy

    Chicken, arguably, is a form of art for certain people. That type of canvas lies in different aspects of chicken itself; how comforting is the chicken, how does the chicken present itself to you, how the chicken is served when paired with others, how much is the chicken worth it and overall, how does it taste. If we look at the first aspect in this case, the chicken here at Chicken Maison situates itself in a big parking lot with a big atrium of a restaurant with plenty of seating and even all the utensils, drinks and sides at your disposal. Let alone a very mediterranean decor set up. ‍‍ Now there's only one place to get said chicken from right? The front counter, who graciously asked us how my day was and even asked if it was my first time. Gleefully discovering that it was my first day as such. From then, every part of the menu explained, every aspect including seasoning and what would go best with it. Keep in mind that this level of service is going with average level pricing for chicken. You won't find that at a lot of places especially given how chicken can be plainly sold time to time. Given the portions, I'd say price-wise for other items and the chicken itself, isn't disappointing. Speaking of chicken, this where I was guided to have the Lemon Garlic Spicy Whole Chicken paired with kale salad and the coleslaw they make in house. Now the chicken itself, to my surprise wasn't just mainly savory but that lemon spice taste is there. It's the first thing to welcome you upon your first bite actually. Now would I have changed my sides, a little bit! Given that one needs to balance the tanginess of the sauce so if it were to be paired with anything then hey, coleslaw and rice. Or even just vegetables and rice to balance it out. Everything considered, definitely a place to find good chicken for a good price for a good portion with good service!

    Chicken Maison in Santa Ana is absolutely amazing! Everything was so good and incredibly fresh. The service was great, friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the restrooms were clean , which I always appreciate. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside, making it a comfortable spot whether you're dining in or with a group. I love kabobs, chicken, spicy chicken kabob and shawarma wrap with fries, and Mediterranean food overall--so this place was a must for me, and it did not disappoint. Steamed veggies galore, they are VERY GENEROUS WITH THEIR PORTIONS. So good! Bonus points for the ample parking , which makes the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Stephanie F.

    Food is spectacular! Finger licking deliciousness! Makes me want to lick the plate clean flavors. The tangy lemon is strong throughout all the pieces of chicken. The bread is perfect to get all that flavor left on the plate. Try it! You won't regret it. You'll come back for more just like me :)

    1/2 Spicy Chicken
    Winnie W.

    Chicken Maison has been on my list for a while and I'm so happy I finally got to try it! Louie in the front was so kind and helpful, and graciously answered all of our questions as first-timers! We ended up each ordering 1/2 chicken per person, which comes with two sides of your choosing, and the portions are huge! We opted for the spicy lemon garlic and it did not disappoint! If you're typically a fan of lemon pepper or anything tangy/zesty, you'll definitely like it :) However it really isnt spicy at all but maybe you can ask for hot sauce or chili oil if you like a kick. Also you know this place is good when over half the customers were on lunch break in their uniforms!

    1/4 Spicy Lemon Garlic chicken
    Daph H.

    I've been looking for a good rotisserie chicken place and found it at Chicken Maison! This is a fast causal place, where you order at the counter and get a number. You can choose from four different flavors of rotisserie chicken - I highly recommend the spicy lemon garlic (which isn't spicy). The chicken is fall-of-the-bone tender and that chicken skin was hard to resist! For $14.90, you can get a 1/4 chicken with two sides. They also include pita bread. I got green salad and hummus, and it was more food than I could eat! My husband ordered the chicken kabob ($15.50), with a huge scoop of spicy potato salad and Maison rice. Orders also come with garlic sauce. Chicken Maison reminds me of Zankou Chicken - only better! The sides and the sauces on the chicken really puts this head and shoulders over other places. The staff is very friendly and will check in with you to see if you need anything. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking in the lot.

Located on 1st in Santa Ana near Tustin, there's a wrought iron fence around the private lot, and the restaurant is open until 9pm most nights. I was surprised nobody was dining in, and except for a woman waiting for her takeout order to be made, I was the only person for most of the visit. I quickly realized the phone rings often, so most business is ordered ahead, with the option to eat there, in the car, or take home. Clearly, for presentation and likely quantity, I recommend eating there. The host is a nice older gentleman who literally does it all, and is so good it hardly seems like he's working. My Shish kabob plate came out faster than expected, and I was almost as impressed with the salad as the saffron rice and actual kabob, which is tender and amazing by the way. Basically, you pick a drink from the refrigerator, and I let him talk me into trying hummus, and appetizer, which ultimately comes with cut flatbread. His take is less creamy than other restaurants, but the flavors are fresh, without garlic. Don't worry, the salad dressing is a fantastic creamy Italian style. All-in-all, I was enjoying every bite and pretty much ate everything, although I preserved some hummus to eat at home. The price was commiserate with the quality, and I suppose I'll try more when I'm around the area.
