Chick fil-a was closed on Sundays and this just so happens to be right next to it. Pretty clever I'd say lol tried the chicken wrap and was pleasantly surprised. Idk if I was hungry or it was that damn good but I might just choose this over chick fil-a when I'm back here again. It's located in the food court of the mall and it wasn't busy. Food came out pretty quick. read more

Tried the limited edition Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and it was super tasty and not that spicy (thankfully) the sandwich had 2 tenders and some pickles inside. It had lots of flavor and super soft and juicy texture. The fries were also very good, nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The grandma sauce is their signature and quite tasty. read more

Look I get inflation is through the roof but this spot has extremely low quality food at a very high price. I ordered two kids meals and it was $30. The chicken pieces were tiny so basically it is just $15 for some very average fries. The kids grilled cheese - hardly any fries. Go figure. The staff behind the counter were very robotic, they were not rude but they were rather cold. With many options in this food court, Chicken Now isn't the place you probably wanna end up. Unless you enjoy paying top dollar for fries read more

An institution of bygone times that is, unfortunately, past its prime. The chicken tenders and fries by themselves are by no means bad tasting, but I did expect a bit more for the steep price point. As a customer of this establishment for several years, I have witnessed the increase in pricing and lower quality control of this chain, and I hope this can be improved upon in subsequent visits. read more

Decided to give it a try while deciding what to eat for dinner at the Arcadia mall food court. I have tried Chick-fil-A sandwiches but never heard of this place. Ordered the Texas toast chicken sandwich and surprisingly it tastes pretty good and better than Chick-fil-A. The chicken is not dried and the sandwich is not salty. Will definitely try again if I am in the area. read more

Amazing place!! I used to work there for months already and the food still taste delicious!!! The manager named Julie Yap is actually very nice, kind, and friendly as well!!!! I definitely will come back over there again in Arcadia, California when I get the chance to!!!! Five stars is exactly my total rating!!!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!!! Much love and support as always!!!! read more

Ordered a 4 pc tender box combo for my afternoon Saturday lunch! The meal was $14.99 + tax = $16.53 total. The combo meal came with a soda, fries, 4 piece chicken tenders, and toast. You are able to choose what suace you wanted when you pick up your order, and I got mild suace and honey mustard sauce. Both sauces are good. The fries are really good and crispy, I love the fries. And the chicken tenders weren't as crispy but it was juicy inside and tasted like fresh chicken. The toast did not have any flavor, it was more like a plain thick toast. It was a good meal overall and I did feel as if the portion was pretty big especially for lunch. I'd order again if I'm at the mall and craving a big chicken tender meal! read more

Chicken Now - 4 pieces chicken tender meal. - Fast Food Near Me - Arcadia, California

A quick spot for chicken tenders, fries, and chicken sandwiches inside of the mall! It's a bit expensive for mall food court food (4 tenders and fries for $16 after tax), but the 4 piece chicken tender box meal is quite large. What I liked was that each tender was fairly meaty and juicy. The only thing I wasn't huge on was that the fries were seasoned fries, meaning they had a coating on them similar to the seasoned fries at Fire Wings. Therefore, they're not as crispy. Other than that, I did like the meal overall. read more

Chicken Now - 4 piece chicken tender box meal IG: @bobabitchess - Fast Food Near Me - Arcadia, California

It's pretty good, their prices are expensive but it is really worth it, I would go for chicken now if I had to, I love their meals. I'm hooked on them. They keep their counters clean and a lot of their options are fresh and up to standards. However the only thing is that if you buy a drink, kool aid costs an extra $1-2 and if you want a refill every time on any drink they will always have to charge you. However their drinks are good in the combination of their food. read more

This is my favorite fried chicken at the mall. Sometimes if I don't feel satisfied, I come and order 2 tenders for a little over $5 with a cup of water with no ice. I like it more than Chick Fila since I think it's hotter, juicier chicken with thinner, crispier breading. There are many sauces available, but I usually get ranch or honey mustard. The service is usually very friendly and the food comes out very fast. This is easy and convenient in the food court, value pricing, fast friendly service, and yummy fried chicken. Go and give it a try! read more

Chicken Now - 2 tenders - Fast Food Near Me - Arcadia, California

Chicken Now is located between Chick-fil-A and Chipotle. Their service is great. I went on Saturday around 4ish and I thought I was going to have to wait a long time for my order. There were a few people ordering when I got there and the mall was just crazy busy. There were only a few empty tables. I was surprised when they called my number in less than 10 minutes. The young lady who took my order was nice and helpful. I usually order the 4 Piece Tender Box Meal, but this time, I ordered the 6 Piece Chicken Nuggets. I didn't want the bread that comes with the tender box meal. It's actually pretty good, but not craving it. The nuggets were just the right amount of crispy and delicious. I asked for their mild sauce and it had the perfect kick, but not spicy. The fries were also amazing. I recommend you dip them in the sauce, too. You can never go wrong with that! 10/10 for the nuggets and fries. Chicken Now does not only have tenders and nuggets, but they also have wraps, sandwiches, Texas club sandwiches and salads. I have not had their sandwiches or wraps, but I do order their Cesar Salad. This is one of those places that if I am craving a salad, I will come to Chicken Now for it, 10/10. They also have Coke products, Lemonade and Kool-Aid. I usually order this to go whether I pick it up or go through a delivery app, but they do a good job with their packaging. I do eat this at the mall if it is not too crowded, but I can assure you it tastes the same as if you order to go. read more

There will always be a special place in my heart and in my stomach for Chicken Now. Their tenders are made to order which sets them apart from all the other tender places in the mall. This means that your chicken always comes out super hot and super juicy. The size may have gotten a bit smaller over the years but they are still craveable. The sauces here are also the most flavorful sauces I've had, you can't go wrong with any of them. So since things are made to order there's a bit of a wait but it's worth it. I always get the kid's meal (2 tenders and the fries) which is a perfect size but I have to say that the tenders are the star while the fries are kind of forgettable. I also think the nuggets aren't as good as the tenders, my advice is to stick with the tenders. Also you get one free refill from this place, nice. read more

Decent place to get your chicken sandwich fix but, it is pricey around $16 per combo. Chicken Sandwich tasted decent as well as the fries. Honestly, I'll rather get Raisin Canes over Chicken Now regarding the sandwiches. Service was great. read more

I love chicken now and I always will... there's just something about their chicken, fries, and sauce that gets me! I usually order the 6 piece chicken nugget box w fries and a drink and share w somebody. Food has always been hot and fresh. The chicken is juicy and moist, while the fries have a nice crisp layer to it. I've only had one experience where it wasn't cooked as well... but every other experience has been great. There's a new CFA that opened up next to it, but I hope chicken now is here to stay! read more

Not to be confused with juicy Korean fried chicken with a similar logo, it was I confirmed after I ordered and paid, the cashier told me it was "Chinese fried chicken." (chicken Tenders I might correct). I ordered the 5-piece ($13.99), and when I received it, it was only 2 piece plus a lot of fries. (so this is what the lady next to me complained about, that she's not supposed to get the kids meal which I got as well) Unfortunately I was already home with the tiny box as I had gotten it for my hubby. I tried calling, to no avail given it was 6pm dinner time rush hour. He was disappointed with the small box. Now I see all these great reviews on Yelp next to me as I'm writing this review....maybe I should go back and have another go. But it still doesn't seem that appetizing for me even if it's a bigger styro foam box like my friend got with mostly fries and like 2 pieces of chicken tenders. read more

I've been here multiple times now. The chicken tenders are juicy and the breading is light and fluffy. I specifically come to the mall just to eat here. Better than Raising Cane's in chicken texture and fry crispiness. Only downside is that their sauces aren't as great. read more

My all time favorite chicken place!! My favorite thing to get on the menu is the chicken tender box, with the fries and toast!! So much better than those hot chicken places, canes, and chick fil a! Kinda lame how they put a chick fil a right next door. Chicken Now easily tastes waaaay better. Especially that spicy sauce they have *chefs kiss* I wish there were more locations!! read more

Another mall spot review in my current mall food mini tour. Not sure how long Chicken Now has been around in the Arcadia Mall, but it's been a while. It used to be the only fried chicken spot in that food court...that is, until that other chicken place that rhymes with Pick-L-A moved in - right next door! I thought that was the end for Chicken Now, but surprisingly, it's managed to stick around, even during these trying times. It's a good thing because their fries are bomb! If you like chicken tenders, this isn't a bad spot to go to. The breading isn't too thick and the chicken is moist. It's the fries that has everyone coming back, though. Not sure how they're prepared, but it's a different kind of fry: always super crunchy and soft on the inside. When paired with their original dipping sauce, it's taken to another level! So if you're a fries fan, by all means go check it out. And get some chicken tenders while you're at it! The combo meals are reasonably priced and they give you a lot of food for the price. read more

Ever since Chicken Now opened in the mall I have been a loyal customer! Even with Chick Fil A next door, they don't even compare! The chicken is always packed with flavor and is so incredibly juicy while still being crunchy. The fries are one of a kind and are always piping hot and fresh. I have never been disappointed with Chicken Now! The spicy sauce is where it's at, and their Kool Aide is the perfect pairing with this meal. The staff is always working fast and is very helpful, don't forget you get 1 free refill on your drink too! I believe the West Covina location stopped providing this. You can also always call ahead your order to pick it up. And they just starting delivering with door-dash! I don't know if any other loyal customer remembers that one worker who would always offer free samples, he shout "Very good chicken!!" I always wonder whatever happened to him? But I always imagine him when I pick up an order. I hope this location never shuts down, and I don't think it will because there's always someone ordering. And we'll deserved! All of the staff wear face masks and since it's in the mall it is mandatory to wear them at all times. read more

It is one of the best places to get food from at the Santa anita mall ( food court). One of my regular spots. The chicken is always tender, hearty and juicy. The fries is also very food when it is fresh. I am also starting to appreciate their sauces. My favorites are bbq, honey mustard, and spicy (not spicy at all but creamy) I do notice people tend to choose Chicken Now rather than the chickfila next door. In fact chickfila is always empty whenever I am buying from chicken now. And funny how you see chickfila is always super jam- packed at their Pasadena location. read more

Nasty food. Ok, maybe the fries are ok. But their service sucks, their food sucks. I ordered the 4pc tender set and was seriously pissed off. The chicken was bland and the batter had no taste. I seriously regret choosing this place for lunch. Homemade sauce? You mean watered down random shit? Gross. I threw away majority of my food read more

1) Yes, it's fast food at a food court in a mall. But the product quality is better than I expected - the chicken was quite moister and tender, and the fries were crisped to perfection - easily some of the best fries I've ever had. The other parts of the chicken sandwich admittedly left a little to be desired, but given the price point ... I'm happy. 2) The service was also better than I expected for an establishment of this type. No complaints about the staff, they were awesome. 3) They have Kool-Aid. Kool-Aid. Seriously, how many other eateries can say the same?????? read more

Honestly this place deserves a review for me... she's been there since day 1... since I was in middle school I think (?)

The chicken tenders and fries are so good here. I come here all the time and I love the honey mustard sauce. The only downside would be that the prices went up, so that sucks.

I had their chicken sandwich it was awful after one bite the entire burger came apart. The patty they use is extremely soft and breakable that can't even hold the ingredients together.The chicken was not fresh at all. The chicken they use is clearly frozen and that they just defrosted and heated it up. This was the first time and last time I eat here. Would not recommend. read more

Went here a couple weeks ago when I visited the mall. Honestly, I think it's absolutely delicious. Staff is quite nice and the food my it's so good. The sauce is perfect, the service is fast, and the menu options are amazing. I ordered the chicken tenders with some fries. The fries were nicely crisp and warm! The chicken tenders was juicy and I quite enjoyed it. To be honest, I was shocked about the reviews about this place, because I've always had a good experience here. If you want some juicy chicken with some fries, I recommend this place. They got that chicken crunchiness down. I'll definitely be back! read more

It's a lesser version of Raising Cane's... which I really like but have only had in AZ. Chicken Now is located in the main food court at Santa Anita mall and seems to follow the RC blueprint. Boneless fried chicken tenders, french fries and a buttered texas toast. Even the dipping sauce imitates the Cane's sauce. It's like a funky 1000 island dressing. I ordered a 4-piece meal combo that came with a drink and it was a little over $10. The fries were nice and crispy. It was seasoned with salt and I liked how they serve them. You get a good helping. The texas toast wasn't all that great. The bread wasnt very crunchy so that was disappointing. The flavor was lacking as well. The chicken could have been better. The pieces were big but the chicken was dry and rather tasteless. Thankfully the dipping sauce was good but I've had better and if they're trying to be like RC then they got some catching up to do. Like I said, the chicken pieces were big. I couldnt finish all the chicken, still had plenty of fries left and barely ate the toast. Customer service was friendly. 1 free refill on fountain drinks. read more

Their chicken is delicious!! Crispy on the outside and juicy and moist on the inside. I enjoy the chicken with their homemade mild sauce; the hot doesn't seem hot at all and not as good for some reason. Prices are a little pricey for the amount you get, but if you're looking for a smaller meal, order from the kids menu! I would NOT recommend their fries--too greasy. The Chicken Caesar wrap is also a favorite of mine. Every time I go, I either get chicken strips or the wrap. Yum! The staff members are usually friendly, but there have been a few occurrences when you're met with someone who just does not want to be there. Look beyond that and try the chicken! Mmm. Don't go too often because I'm sure there's a ton of calories in there lmao. Review 88/100 for 2016 read more

Parking is easy to find depending on the day, since it's in the mall. Walk right in through the Dave & Busters / AMC side and the food court is right there Chicken now is your regular at home made chicken in the mall. It's not bad but you also won't crave it daily. I would get it if I was bored and hungry and was around the area. The fries were well cooked. Wasn't too oily nor overly crunchy. read more

Chicken Now - Chicken now. Inside the mall food court - Fast Food Near Me - Arcadia, California

Tried this place for the first time today while at the Arcadia mall. It is located in the food court. The worker was friendly. I placed my order and the food came out really fast. There is not a whole lot to say as this is more of a fast food food court food place. My food came out fast, hot, crispy, juicy, and smelled really good. You get your choice of sauce. You get 2 containers but extras are an extra cost. Two sauce containers was more than enough for me. I ordered the 5 strips for $7. It's a bit high, but the strips were meaty and really filled me up, so overall, price is pretty reasonable. It does not come with fries unless you order a meal. However, I had ordered Potato Corner, so no need for fries here from me. I just asked for a cup of ice to go with the coffee I already had. I really enjoyed my chicken here and am glad I tried it. I will probably order from here again next time I'm at the mall!! The seasoned fries do look good, so next time I will try the fries here also! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed their tenders and fries this meal! My husband and I shared a 5 piece tender order ($10) with a small fry ($4) In the past, we have also ordered the tender box meal but we decided to ditch the toast and the drink this time. The tenders are easily the best I've had. The chicken is so moist and the batter is perfectly crunchy. The fries are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I will say that the fries today didn't taste as fresh as when I've previously had them. The fries were seasoned well but weren't as crispy as I've had before here! However, both the chicken and fries beat Raisin' Canes to me! In terms of the sauce, my go to are the Mild and Spicy, which taste similar to an aioli type sauce. I also tried their buffalo sauce, which had a nice kick but wasn't too tangy. The employees kindly gave me additional sauces at request with no additional charge. read more
