The interior is so clean and nice. I think this place opened like a few months ago to a year so it's great to see how great of an upkeep they've maintained. Alsooooo!!! Outside they have their own freaking Lambo! A lambo?! Yes, a lambo dripped out in Chikin Drip everything. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Lol. Chicken was pretty solid. The cashier Luis was pretty kind and took care of us. My BF got the second spicy because he's psycho. He actually just said that he'd come back to try the spiciest one next time. Yeahhh... he's psychotic. Anyway I liked my sandwich. The only thing for me is that I wish the fries were more crispy. read more

Chikin Drip - #2 Combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - San Jose, California

Came by for lunch on Monday and it was pretty empty. Asked the worker a couple questions about the chicken and she didn't seem to know the answers... We all ordered the combo #1, a slider with fries. I got medium spice and I thought it would be much spicier. However, the chicken was really juicy and fried well. The fries were really good, hot and fresh, and a side of their sauce with it is perfect. The worker had offered me honey, disappeared, and when he finally came back, he seemed to have forgotten I wanted honey. For me, the touch of honey on the sandwich was the perfect addition. read more

I thought it was just ok. The restaurant was pretty slow when I came on a weekday. Only 2 workers. The place itself is very spacious and looked new. I wished the team worked with a sense of urgency tho. Probably about 4 people waiting on their order when I was there. Luckily the wait time was about 15 minutes. I got the loaded fries and it was decent. I wouldn't say it was amazing. The loaded fries consists of slaw, sliced pickles, secret sauce, fried chicken, and crinkle cut fries. I do wish the chicken was seasoned a little bit more? I got medium spice but felt it needed more seasoning. Wished the sauce had more flavor. I've had better elsewhere. read more

Chikin Drip - Loaded fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - San Jose, California

Large interior with tons of seats. Service was quick. No complaints at all The food is alright. I'm already not too impressed with Dave's, and this place is essentially another Dave's. Portion size is good. Spice level at medium isn't too spicy at all. Mac and cheese needed more cheese in my opinion I'd rate it a 5/10. Not much to be said, it's alright. The combo costed around $20 read more

Chikin Drip - Chicken slider - Chicken Shop Near Me - San Jose, California

Huge! The portion on the loaded Mac n cheeese was massive. We shared and still took home leftovers. I didn't get any spices since my kid doesn't like it but I would have- it looks like it would be amazing. High quality chicken. For the tenders. Massive Mac n cheese portion and the fries did taste good even after reheating. Kids friendly but good comfort food. Or after a long night of fun. read more

I drove by Chikin Drip and noticed they were open late. The parking isn't that bad. Tons of outside seating and inside also. A lot of windows, so it can get bright during the day. They have house music and two restrooms; one unisex and one women. I ordered the Combo #1 (medium spicy): one slider + slaw, +pickles, secret sauce + fries. No drink included. The bread was soft and absorbed all the slaw and spices. Though, I agree with another reviewer as the spiciness wasn't as spicy as one would imagine. Still the white meat was juicy and tender. Their secret sauce is pretty darn good. It reminds me of a tangy remoulade. The fries were nice, hot (temperature hot), and crispy! read more

I used to love Chikin Drip especially when they were still a food truck. I loved their flavoring/seasoning and how generous they were with the portion of the foods. I've been going for about almost 2 years now and ever since then I've noticed how much they cut down on the portion which really sucks. The portion now is basically half of what it was before, literally. I wish I had taken a picture of the loaded fries that I had ordered recently to compare it to what it was before. Maybe I was just unlucky with my recent order and I'll try it one more time but if it's the same, I don't think I'll be back. Sucks when you have a good spot and they start skimping on the food. read more

This was my 3rd time trying it Drove to a new location at the plant...Wasn't as good as the one by the airport My burger was 2/10 Too much seasoning,salty and my burger look dry. read more

I really wanted to like this new chicken sando spot, but it fell short on many factors. For starters, tell me why an online order for pick up would take an additional 30 minutes on top of the 15 minutes heads up (ordering while we drove to the spot) and still not be ready? And isn't hot either?! The items were lukewarm. It also felt like the staff couldn't get the timing right for other people as well, since I saw everyone inside was also waiting for their orders... Anyways, after the long wait for food, I left and went straight to eat. I got a mild combo, which consisted of a tender, some fries, and a chicken sando. I understand mild isn't supposed to be spicy, but a little bit of heat. My sandwich, however, tasted sweet!! And no Cajun taste whatsoever. My partner had ordered a medium, and he felt his flavors were very off too... I don't know if I'll come back here. It took forever to get my food, food wasn't hot when I picked it up, and flavors were not there. It's a hard pass to come back and dine at Chikin Drip for now--especially when the Bay Area is littered with plenty of other chicken sando spots. Price point isn't bad, but if the flavors are weird and wait time is forever for an online pickup, I think I'll have to wait until they survive a year or something. A pro is how spacious and how many tables there are inside. Great for dine in! But if you had to wait as long as I did, you might just go elsewhere within The Plant for lunch. read more

Perfect pit stop. Clean restroom, friendly crew at the counter, and the food came out piping hot in under three minutes.

You know exactly what you're getting here, and they execute it perfectly. read more

Chikin Drip is . I got the #2, and it did NOT disappoint. Perfectly crispy, juicy chicken, amazing flavor, and I love that it's halal. You can control the spice level too, which is clutch. The fries were seasoned just right, and the sauce was next level. Definitely coming back. read more

I ordered to go. I ordered a number three combo. Huge portions and really tasty chicken. I asked for extra pickles because their pickles are really good. I showed up late at night so it was a bit busy and definitely a little rowdy but service was super fast. Definitely a fun spot to go after drinking. I also ordered the Dubai chocolate strawberry cup, and it was really good! Tons of strawberries, tons of chocolate definitely worth it. read more

They definitely came through with the drip!! Chicken was juicy and the sweet sauce is a great combination with the medium spice rub. The crinkle fries were crispy and spicy in the inside. All fully coated with a sweet and spicy seasoning! Service was great! The person that took my order gave me a fair warning of ghost pepper in the hot flavor. Definitely saved me from heartburn lol. Unfortunately they don't take phone orders.. and parking is limited in the front. But it's worth the little walk. read more

Chikin Drip - Medium spice #1combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - San Jose, California

Our family loves Chikin Drip. It's so much better than the rest of the chicken joints. Unfortunately this location doesn't seem to make your order fresh like the other location - and it's well worth the wait to get it freshly made! Even though the other location near SJC is out of our way, we'll have to avoid this one since we've been repeatedly disappointed. read more

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 First time trying this place on the weekends, no wait. Very nice diner decor. Food was tasty and chicken is very moist, tender and juicier than Raising Cane. It comes in your spicy level of choice. I had the x-spicy and it's very spicy. There's another spicy level higher too, HOLY... The service is fast and friendly. We got the #2 combo and it's enough to share for 2 people. We got the loaded fries for x-spicy too, and it's huge to share. The secret sauce tastes like thousand island dressing. Yummy Dessert! We got the Strawberry Dubai. It's so good! They don't skimp on the strawberries too. Must have! read more

Go to spot in the plant in San Jose. This place is far better than Daves hot chicken!! I walked in looking for an order that I hadn't even placed a mistake on my part. Luis kindly greeted me, made the situation clear and took my order with no hesitation. 10/10 if possible. Great service and great communication. Would highly recommend trying this spot. Food was so good I ate it before taking the picture MikeUPS read more

Tried this place while working close by and it reminded of a no frills Dave's hot chicken type of restaurant! They only have 4 flavors for their chicken sliders or tenders which are mild, medium, spicy and extra spicy. I went with the mild on my slider and medium on the tender. Glad I did ! The medium was already starting to be really spicy so wouldn't want to know what hot tasted like! The service was great by the young lady and the order came out quick! With very limited flavor options not sure I would eat here again! I'm into different sauces and seasonings and flavors so this is just too basic for me. But if you are looking for a food quick bite, this probably would appeal to you. read more

AMAZING!!!! My niece took me to try this place, oh man it was delicious!! We tried the loaded fries. And I was a little hesitant to order them because it didn't sound like something I'd enjoy. I decided to go ahead and give it a try! First off it was a nice amount of food for the price! Now that's something to really consider for some of us on a budget! This place gives you your moneys worth!! The service was excellent and the wait time from when we ordered and when are food we received our food was like under 20 minutes! I will also say that this establishment was clean and fresh! I'm am so pleased and highly recommend Chikin Drip!! I also want to say that this food wasn't greasy and left me not feeling guilty about eating out. I will return here for sure!! LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS PLACE!! read more

Tried Chikin Drip and ordered the loaded fries--overall, a solid experience. The fries were crispy and held up well under the toppings, which is always a good sign. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and generously portioned, and the sauces tied everything together without being overwhelming. It's definitely a heavy dish, but that's exactly what you expect when ordering loaded fries. Service was quick, and the food came out hot and fresh. If you're craving something indulgent and filling, the loaded fries are a good choice. I'd come back to try more items on the menu. read more

Service is great, workers are friendly and food comes out very quick. Taste is also great and it's a good late night place to go.

Best fries I've ever had. Chicken is tender but crispy on the outside. No spice is not flavored but can use sauce for flavoring. Will try mild spice next time. Service: pretty good, very friendly staff. Ambiance: Clean and spacious. Lot's of parking. Recommended A+++ read more

Saw this pop up on my Yelp home page and I am a fan of Nashville chicken so I gave this place a try. This place seems like it has just opened not long ago and I went around noon time on a weekday so there was no line. Not sure if weekends or evening time is the same. There is a lot of space with good amount of seating. I opted to order the loaded fries and wanted to try their highest spice level which was holy chick just to see how it compared to other places like Dave's and Angry Chickz but the staff told me I had to email them and then I would get a reply back. This is a new and weird concept. Most places will have an online form that you submit and just show the cashier or they will have a waiver ready at the front. Hopefully they will make this a much easier process. I ended going for the X tra Hot which was one level down since I didn't want to waste time with an email. The loaded fries looked really good and had a lot of toppings. The fries were nice and crisp and not soggy at all. The coleslaw and pickles were also good. The pickles were not overwhelmingly tangy and the coleslaw did not take away the taste where it was drenched in sauce. I was disappointed with the amount of chicken that came with the fries for the price. I recommend ordering more food if ur hungry or order something else on the menu. The chicken was very tender and juicy, I was very impressed. The breading was also good where it was light. Now to the reason why I came here, the spice level. This was a big let down. They had a lot of spice level and the X tra hot was nowhere near spicy. It had a little kick but nothing extra spicy about it. I had my coworker try a chicken piece who doesn't really like spicy food and he even said he was able to eat it and didn't taste much spice. I seen a review from someone else mentioning the spice level was no where near the spice that they mention. The X tra Hot I would say is more comparable to Medium/Hot at other locations that serve Nashville style chicken. So if u can't tolerate spice but like a little kick, try medium or higher since the spice level is really not what it's cracked up to be. Other than the spice level disappointment, the food was good but chicken portion for the fries is not great. I would advise skipping it and just get the sliders or the chicken tenders for that price and ask for their special sauce. I still recommend this place if u like ur Nashville chicken but without the crazy spiciness and just a hint of spice. read more

As the youth says "mid af". Their chicken is bland and kind of dry and over cooked. How many chicken places do we need, they're all the same; overhyped sauces, crinkle cut fries, uncomfortable chairs. Was hoping it would be okay since every other place at The Plant is boring. A worker asked us several times to put in a good review, I get it, you're new and eager to bring in more business but your food should speak for itself so you don't have to beg for positive reviews. There was barely anyone in ther and the artwork on the wall is weird. Also it mentioned something about slaughter? Cause that's what I wanna see when I eat. Wtf? read more

AMAZING customer service! After I left my initial review, I was reached out by the owner to redeem a free strawberry cup. I love when businesses care about customer feedback and make things right accordingly. This time around I got a lot more chocolate sauce. The first time, there wasn't enough chocolate to coat most of the strawberries. I was able to taste the chocolate and pistachio sauce combination. So delicious! I would definitely come back Thank you so much! I'm so appreciative read more

I dined in because fried food taste better fresh and the location in the plant has plenty of parking (park by Best Buy or Target side to avoid crowds). I tried the combo two with hot sandwich and medium tender, it had a nice kick however the chicken was pretty dry. The sauce and fries were tasty, I probably go back for the fries and sauce alone. However, the slaw and chicken itself is weak for a place that specializes in chicken sandwiches! The owners apparently park their lambo in front of the store, cool but hopefully they paying their employees nice wages too. read more

We really enjoyed our experience here! The chicken was crispy, hot, and perfectly cooked. We especially appreciated that the seasoning wasn't overly sweet--unlike Dave's, which we find too sweet--so this was a refreshing change. They also offer a great deal: two chicken sliders and fries for $17.99, which is a solid value these days with how pricey chicken sandwiches have become. Overall, tasty food at a fair price. We'll come back! read more

The meal was good. But while we were waiting the young latino male in the back with a red hat was on a phone call out loud at the window. The first thing he says is "What up my N****".
