Got the Medium Mac & Cheese which was decently spicy. The fries were very seasoned and crunchy. Macaroni was not very flavorful or cheesy. It was also a different temperature from the fries which were insanely hot. Chicken had a dry seasoning which was good but the white meat itself wasn't seasoned. Not enough sauce. Overall 6/10. There are better places that are cheaper.
Seen this place on Insta a couple of times. I got the Combo #2 (~$16, which is pretty affordable). The fries were very crispy, even after I got home but the chicken wasn't very crispy. Maybe it's more crispy if I ate in the store but I wouldn't know. Everything was good though.
The coleslaw bowl was something. I saw on yelp this Nashville chicken eatery had a bowl with the chicken on top, that set it apart from other chicken places. Sure we've had chicken fries, chicken nachos, and even chicken on cauliflower. But coleslaw sounded different. The ordering experience was fine. Looks like there was training going on but hey everyone needs love customers to train on right? It did take a while to get the food. So we know it's fresh? Keeping an eye out that door dashers didn't take my bowl! When the food finally came they just put it on the counter, they didn't call out the numbers. So don't get lost I your phone or you may miss your window of hit chicken. Restaurant was moderately clean. Bathrooms needed attention. And the fixtures had this, shall we say, odd configuration. I was a little hesitant to wash the grease off my hands in that sink. Would I be back? Maybe, if I'm in that area. But probably wouldn't make a special trip here. The dry slaw wasn't worth going out of my way.
First time I went to Chikin Drip tonight, and I was not let down. There was one big issue, but the food and service were so good, I'm still going to give them 5 stars. Upon entering, I was greeted by a lovely woman who gave me and my wife detailed info regarding the spice levels. The menu reminded me of a few other chicken places I frequent, but tasted better in more ways than one. The restaurant was very clean, and the members of staff were all great. As we ate, we were discussing the food, and wondering if the woman who first greeted us was the owner. She took our order while wearing a purse, and walked out right after, so we assumed she was in a position of authority. About 5 minutes after she left, the most obnoxious song began playing on the speakers at full volume. We could no longer hear each other speak. We assumed the employees were enjoying some music since the owner/manager is gone now. I have nothing against that, they have a tough job and 1 song is no big deal. Then another obnoxious song, followed by another, and another. By the time they played the 5th obnoxious song in the same genre at full volume, we decided to leave. All I can say is that whoever created that playlist may need to explore some other genres of music. Every song sounded like somebody banging on a trash can while under the influence of bath salts or suffering from withdrawals of bath salts. I'm still giving the restaurant 5 stars, but I want the owner to know what's going on behind their back. It seems like the employees do what they want once they're left alone. That's a recipe for disaster and can affect other aspects of your business. It shouldn't be overlooked that they all gave great service, irregardless of the abuse they put me and my wife through with their music.
Everything was well seasoned and their sauce had a nice tanginess to it, but the chicken in the sandwich was ever so slightly on the drier side. I'm not greattt with spice so I got mild, but it wasn't giving any spice at all so I definitely could've leveled up. Nothing to write home about imo, but still a decent spot for spicy halal chicken.
I have never been to this place before. I just thought I was going be another chicken fast food trying to be like the next.. I will say it's not your average chicken nugget/strip. There was sample parking. The place is big and a lot of seating in the dining room. There's some fun art on the wall. They had a really fun sports car out front with their logo on it. We placed an order and the food was made fairly quickly. My son ordered the combo with a sandwich and a tender medium spice with extra sauce and fries. I wanted to taste it so I ordered a chicken tender with mild spice. My son Mukbang it. The chicken tenders are huge. Both meals the seasoning was red was hardly any more spicy than mine. If he likes spice I'd say go more than medium for sure. I think I'll try hot next time to get a little kick. The french fries were yummy and crunchy and seasoned. My side order of the chicken tender came on a piece of like Texas toast or something like that was delicious. It's a little bit like raising Cane's. However- I'd say it's a little bit better than raising Cane's because it has less batter and more spice. If that's your thing then you'll like this place. We will go back to this place. It was good.
Located by San Jose Airport, parking is plentiful and easy to find. Seating is also very abundant. The noise level is quiet-average. Combo #4 comes with 2 sliders and fries. Off the bat the fries were so delicious. They were super crispy and flavorful. The sliders were also so yummy too. The buns were crispy without being too dry. The chicken was tender. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Chikin Drip is a delicious chicken place. The fries are second to none and service is quick.
Yum! If you're craving a hot chicken sandwich, this is a great place. The cashier described the medium spice to be similar to hot cheetos but I think it's a bit spicier. I can eat really spicy and I think medium was the perfect level for me if I don't want to sweat. Their spice also has a bit of sweetness to it which really enhanced the flavor. Also if you add cheese to your sandwich, they don't melt it. There's lots of tables and parking available. Def somewhere I'd come back to.
This place was good but not much to be memorable. I am forsure biased because i like angry chicks better. This place has decent food but not much in terms of flavor. The spices shine through hut besides that, i couldnt really figure out why i would want to come back. That being said, i think people should give this place a try and let me know if i am being too harsh
Plenty of parking in this plaza. Nicely air conditioned inside, except for the bathrooms. Service took a little long to order and to receive food despite the restaurant being almost empty. Both the mild and hot chicken seemed spicier than what I am used to. Flavor was okay, but a little too salty to enjoy. Chicken itself was juicy. Fries were decent. The secret sauce tasted too much of mayo.
Me and my family always prefer Chikin Drip for the quality of food and best HALAL chicken in town. But the service was received by the staff @530 Newhall Dr (San Jose Airport) on the night of 4th of July, was definitely disappointing. The slider, tender and fries were all cold and I didn't appreciate the fact that when I told the guy at counter, he gave me new fries but that's all. He ignored the fact that the rest of the order was not made fresh and questioned me whether I was telling him the truth. I let him know that I was not happy with spending money with them at this location and receiving such poor service and was going to reflect my frustration on Yelp, he shrug his shoulders and said "okay. So this is for the crew of that night. If management is going to review this for quality of service.
The medium spicy is very delicious. They added dry spice to the fries which I didn't like as much. I was looking forward to eating my fries with ketchup but instead the spicy fries went well with the side sauce. Just a preference though. The sauce was really great I enjoyed pouring it over my chicken. The service was fast, plenty of seating and very clean inside.
Late night fried chicken spot. They have halal tenders and sliders. Ordered online for pickup. Spacious restaurant inside. Quick service. The chicken was hot and juicy. Medium spice wasn't that spicy for me. The fries were seasoned well and were crispy. The sauce was creamy and went well with the fried chicken. Reasonably priced. Plenty of parking in this plaza read more

The flavors were perfectly balanced for each of our bowl. The mac bowl was creamy and not overwhelmingly cheesy, with the fries seasoned perfectly. The salad consisted of plain coleslaw with a handful of pickles, which helped me reach my goal of not feeling bloated after. I consider the Medium heat spice on the chicken to be just right for someone that appreciated spicy, considering it 6-7/10 for intensity. The chicken had a balanced amount of crispness and softness. Great quick service, spacious seating area, and lots of parking outside. Very clean. Would definitely come back. read more

Let's start with a $20 unseasoned chicken sandwich combo is diabolical. Throwing a bunch of cayenne on dry chicken is not how you make hot chicken. Nothing is more frustrating than a restaurant being expensive and completely getting your order wrong and then not having any means of contact. To top things off, they have a bunch of up charges for extra sauce and swaps like mac and cheese for fries. I paid for all of those and yet none of those items were included in my delivery. To make things worse, phone voice mail is full. Has an SMS option that also doesn't work. Lesson learned. buyer beware. $60 for 3 combos and they don't care about their customers. read more

I came here on a Friday night, and it was a little busy. The interior was nice and clean, and the bathroom was well-kept. I ordered the Salad Bowl with medium spicy chicken, pickles, and special sauce. I liked everything about this bowl, except the coleslaw was too dry. The chicken was seasoned well and very crispy. I ordered fries on the side, and it was delicious. It's crispy and soft on the inside, and it's good to pair it with the secret sauce. Overall, I like it and will try the sandwich next time and lots of parking space. read more
To preface, I got take out (DoorDash). It was pretty good tbh, but I felt the chicken was less juicy than other places like Dave's or Angry Chicks. By no means was it dry, but it didn't have that juiciness I was looking for. Also, it didn't come with hot honey and there just wasn't any sauce on my combo when I ordered. Maybe I have to ask next time? I don't usually get chikin drip but wanted to try it. These factors combined brings it down for me. read more

Hi Young, thank you for giving us a try and for sharing such…
I got the Combo #4 which came with 2 sliders and fries. Additional sauces cost extra. I thought the chicken was on the stringy side and a little overseasoned and too salty. Fries were pretty good though. I feel like the sauce really helps to get through the sliders. Prices were pretty reasonable for the portion size. Good amount of seating inside and outside. read more

Hi Emily, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with…
The chicken was pretty good, also spice levels are to be respected here. I was going to order "hot", but was warned this came with ghost peppers. Medium (the next level down) hit the spot! Fries are very average, you could get worse from In and Out (next door), but don't come close to Five Guys fries. I ordered to eat in and waited about 10mins for my food, no biggie. Might come back again when in the area. UPDATE: Since eating the food my stomach has experienced some pretty bad indigestion, I'm unlikely to return. read more

This is the worst chicken sandwich place that I ever had. I ordered the salad bowl and Combo #4. Here is what we got: 1. Salad bowl, the menu said that it has coleslaw. I got a bowl of dry shredded cabbage with a little bit of their sauce on top with one piece of tender. What is coleslaw without shredded cabbage without vinaigrette or mayonnaise dressing? 2. Combo #4, chicken is over cooked, cheese isn't melted, basically flapped on the cold chicken, the buns aren't even toasted. Fries are so cold and not fresh at all. It went from a good quality food truck to a shitty quality store. Everything is cold. So disappointed! It was a big mistake to come here instead of Angry chickz. Even DoorDash, when the food from angry chickz gets home, it's still hot. read more

Saw their Instagram post about having dubai chocolate strawberry cups and had to come try it! It was soo delicious!! They definitely did not skim on the sauce/toppings and price ($15) is good for the size! We finished our cup in less than 10 minutes, yes it was that good!! Our cashier, Vincent, was very friendly as well as the rest of the staff! Hope they keep this for a while because we'd definitely come back for more! read more

2 tender chicken combo with fries $14.99 Chicken was juicy and fries were crispy. Heard from a friend NOT TO ORDER HOT SPICE as it gave them a tummy ache at the end of the night. So, I ordered MEDIUM spice level. I recommend it. It was delicious and well coated better than Dave's hot. Cole slaw on the sandwich was skimpy and dry. Would ask for extra next time. Ordered sauce on side as I didn't want it drenched in sauce. Soda machine was nothing special. Was expecting to other choices like lemonade or even other beverages to purchase. Plenty of seating inside & plenty of parking outside. read more
