I came here with some friends late at night and it was great. They have good prices and some seriously spicy options here. I personally went for a non spicy option and it was perfect for me. I'd highly recommend trying it out if you're at The Plant! Parking: Lots of plaza parking Service: The cashier was very kind.

So we've been discovering new spots, to get Uber Eats food delivered to us, and this one is definitely one our favorites. Definitely tastes better than Cane's and Chik Fila. I love the tenderness of their chicken and the sauce is smacking! Very simple, but delicious food!

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.

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.

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

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.

Rox R.

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.

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!

Jerrie A.

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.

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.

Nancy B.

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.

Lily Y.

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!

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.

This place is a lifesaver - one of the few places open after midnight in the area. I had the combo 2 - a slider, tender on bread and fries. The portion was huge, I counted 3 tenders total. The fries were delicious and crisp. The slider added some extra flavor around the tender. I went for medium spicy, after being advised that the hot contained ghost peppers. The medium had a bit of kick to it, but I felt that they could have added some more spices/herbs for flavor to the chicken seasoning. The services was basic but friendly- what I'd expect for a fast food joint. The interior was basic, but well lit and felt safe - and other customers were keeping to themselves. Will visit again read more

I'd been wanting to try Chikin Drip for some time and was excited about the opening of their location at The Plant. We ordered a double slider combo and requested one hot and one mild. The lady at the register mentioned they usually don't accommodate that, but said she would make an exception this time--which I found a little odd, because it seemed like a simple enough request. When the meal came out, we couldn't tell which slider was which. Maybe using toothpicks with small labels would help with that? As for the flavor, the heat was definitely there, but it could use more depth. The mild slider was on the tangier side, reminding me of Tajin. The chicken was juicy and lightly breaded. I personally prefer a heavier breading, but that's just a matter of taste. I did enjoy my meal overall, but it felt a bit average. Will be back to try other items on the menu. read more

I usually love chicken drip! I would always love to go the location about 15 minutes from my house but then 1 closer opened up. I had ordered a side of coleslaw and a side of Mac and cheese (I wasn't feeling that hungry for chicken but usually love to get their Mac and cheese and coleslaw). Once I got home the coleslaw was just the veggies with water on the bottom no sauce or anything which is not what I remembered from the other chicken drip. Then the Mac and cheese was really undercooked and a watery sauce that only had a hint of cheese taste to it. It was really disappointing...... read more

I've been meaning to do this for a long time. Today is the day. I'm here at Chikin Drip in Silicon Valley tonight, this is like their newest location. I'm very familiar with the Plant Shopping Center. I really like the Logo and Branding, it's very clean, and poppin'. I wanted to do a Fried Chicken Sandwhich again, and this is a Nashville Hot Chicken style Sandwhich again. It looks absolutely phenomenal. So unreal. The Fries were exceptional. And I find that the Chicken Sandwhich isn't too heavy, packed with flavor, and got great texture and contrast. It was so juicy, it was actually dropping everywhere. I like how I didn't need to ask, they offered and gave me some Pure Honey to go with it, that was the move, and I think this my first time having a Nashville Hot Chicken with Honey, it was pleasant. And I really like how they gave me the option, to add American Cheese, that somewhat made a difference. This could very well be a 4.4 stars on a good day, but I give this 4.3 stars out of 5 stars. read more

this one lady at the cashier today at around 5:00 pm was greeting me at first and I did say "hi two chicken sandwiches please." she took my order as I thought she gave me two chicken sandwiches with no spice and one drink. But then she gave me a charge of 13 something dollars as I took like that is how much 2 chicken sandwiches is. As soon as she gave me the bag to take home because I said "to go" I went home with my husband and I took a look inside of the container and it was one sandwich. We went back in and I did give one of the chefs an angry look where this same lady came out. I told her "you got me a wrong order. I asked for 2 chicken sandwiches." she only charged me for one sandwich and wants me to pay again to just get me a second sandwich I asked for. It should be free when this lady got my order wrong. the music in the curtner ave next to Erik Deli was not even loud at all whatsoever and I do talk loud so she can obviously be hearing me what I said and this is a second time I come there twice a week this lady got my order wrong. I would appreciate this not happening again. Because I did say to her "the owner was here and I would let him know on that." When I told her that, the chef made my food, all the sudden the chef came out and gave me my order because this lady was scared to come out and apologize. I am not never coming back to this restaurant. again if this is how all of us customers are gonna be treated by someone like her who doesn't take accountability for her actions. She needs to do her job right and maybe pay attention instead of paying attention on her phone or the other guy she was talking to while taking someone else's order. If it was my decision, I would let this lady go. Because she has never apologized to me for her mistake and make this right by giving me a discount with an managers' approval or a free sandwich because she got my order wrong. That is not right. read more

This is their current location, but I don't think it's their permanent place of business. Just for the time being. Google maps will take you to a parking lot entrance that's closed, blocked by a chain, so make sure you enter the parking lot on Locust Street. I ordered online, and the wait time was a bit long (20+ minutes) but not terrible. And once you arrive, there's a sign near the parking lot directing you to walk down an alley-like path. No signs at the door, just a dumpster outside. Yup, that's where you pick up. It feels like you're walking through the back door of a restaurant kitchen. Actually when you step inside, it indeed IS the kitchen which doubles as a pickup spot (no seats, no signs, I just showed the guy my order on my phone and he handed me my food packed neatly in a paper bag). I got the perro loco which comes with fries on the side, and an arepa with cheese. I didn't like that customers can't customize items when ordering online for pick up. Also wasn't a fan of the pineapple sauce, though I think that's one of the things they're known for. But the hot dog was still good, generous with the toppings and certainly unique. The sausage was plump and juicy with a mild flavor. The fries were delicious as well, and didn't taste cheap. And the mini arepa with cheese was buttery and had a nice texture. Altogether it made for a filling meal.

The beef patty was perfectly seasoned and so juicy. All the flavors were amazing and tasted so fresh. I loved the crispy bacon and the shredded chicken. The chicken was well flavored and they put an ample amount on top of the burger. Wow! What a great combo. I also tried the maracuya (passion fruit) drink and it was so good! I like that it wasn't too sweet. It's fresh and refreshing. They are pretty busy because it's their opening so there might be a wait but it's totally worth it. There are tables around for you to sit so it's casual. The owner is so nice and you can tell he is very proud of his food. Highly recommend!!

It is also very messy as the veggies are all "moist" and will fall apart, make sure you keep the foil on. 4/5

First impression: clean, which already puts them ahead of a lot of places. I went about an hour before lunch, so I had the place to myself. Ordering was simple with the kiosks, but if you prefer talking to an actual human, that's an option too (always appreciated). I went with the two mini burger option so I could try more than one. I ordered the Classic Americano (Angus beef, ini sauce, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions) and the Hawaiian Spice (Angus beef, spicy ini sauce, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, pineapple, jalapeño), plus fries/onion rings and a drink. Let me just say--the Hawaiian Spice was hands down the winner. It was so good that I already know next time (and yes, there will be a next time), I'm going straight for the full-size version. They also offer wings and salads, which is a nice bonus if you're not in a burger mood. If you haven't tried ini Burger yet... what exactly are you waiting for?

The hostess was very friendly and showed us to our table. We had a table inside, which was an intimate upscale casual area with a bar. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for a starter. It was so hard to pick one because everything on the menu sounds so good. Alas, I have a small appetite. The mushrooms were very tasty and a nice start to our meal. For entrees, we had the halibut and prime filet with a side of broccolini. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. Drinks are on the pricey side- I had a Hero Old Fashioned and the Taylor Made, $20 each. They were nicely crafted, so worth the price. They brought out a Carmel Popcorn Sundae for my husband's birthday and even gave him a birthday card which I thought was a nice touch. Service was slow and steady. We had ample time to enjoy our food without feeling rushed, but never felt like our server forgot about us. We spent about 2 hours for dinner. Probably not a place to go if you're in a hurry. I'm eager to return and try some more of the starters. It's the kind of place I'd love to take out of town guests - high quality fine dining in a casual and relaxed environment.

Chikin Drip is a hidden gem that absolutely blew me away! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was on point--super clean, trendy decor with music that sets the perfect mood without being too loud. The place has this cool, street-food-meets-modern-lounge feel that makes it great for both casual hangs and date nights. The service? Top-tier. The staff was friendly, patient, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. They walked me through the menu, made great recommendations, and even checked in mid-meal to make sure everything was good. You can tell they care about the experience you're having. Now the food... fire. The chicken is crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection--each bite is packed with flavor. The sauces are next level (especially the spicy drip and garlic parmesan), and the portions are generous without being over the top. Don't skip the sides either--their fries are addictive, and the mac and cheese might be the best I've had at a chicken spot. Overall, Chikin Drip deserves all the hype. Great food, amazing service, and a chill but stylish atmosphere. I'll definitely be coming back--and bringing friends with me next time! read more

I stopped by Chicken Dip in San Jose last weekend, and wow, I'm already craving another visit! I got their chicken burger, and it was hands-down one of the best I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside--love that potato starch coating they use--and so juicy inside, with just the right amount of spice (I went for the medium level, and it had a nice kick without setting my mouth on fire). The "bro sauce" (that spicy adobo aioli) was a game-changer, and the drizzle of local honey balanced it out perfectly. The bun was soft and held up well, and the fresh toppings made every bite amazing. I found them parked near a brewery in San Jose, which made for such a fun Saturday vibe--grabbing a chicken burger and a cold drink was the perfect combo. The folks running the truck were super friendly, and even though there was a small line, the wait wasn't bad at all. The price felt totally fair for the quality and portion size--I left full and happy. If you're in San Jose and love a good chicken burger, Chicken Dip is a must-try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to test out their hotter spice levels! read more

We came here on a Monday night when we were hungry and almost everywhere was closed in this plaza . We used to come to Rubio's and noticed that this place had taken it . So we thought we just try it since it opens real late , till 1 am I think . There were plenty of empty parking spaces at that time . The place looks like it was all completely remodeled , all new tables chairs walls cealing, bathrooms, floor all new and clean .although it was late but couple of groups were there enjoying their time . The decor is cool and the music was nice . All good atmosphere in general . We ordered the loaded fries and the loaded Mac with medium spice and we shared a Dubai strawberry cup . The food took a little longer than expected but it came fresh and hot . From the first bite I could tell that this place will see me more often . So much yummier than other hot chicken places . Customer service was good and yes I will come again for sure . read more

I recently visited Chick N Drop and had a great experience. The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the sauces really added to the taste. The staff were friendly and provided quick service, which made the visit even better. The restaurant was also clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I was very satisfied with the quality of the food and the service. I would definitely recommend Chick N Drop to anyone looking for delicious chicken and a pleasant dining experience. read more

If you haven't been to Chikin Drip yet, you're seriously missing out. This place takes fried chicken to a whole new level! The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Their signature sauce is next level. The sides are just as good--don't sleep on the mac and cheese or the seasoned fries. And the vibe inside is great, with friendly staff and a clean, welcoming space. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a meal, Chikin Drip delivers. Definitely my go-to spot for chicken! read more
