    Chicken thigh combo
    C L.

    5 = food 4 = service Food is great. Best rotisserie chicken I've had. They spin the chicken which is unique. I had ordered their chicken thigh combo with double salad. Garlic aoili is yum, yum, yum. Not sure the cashier figured out his math correctly. I ordered a double salad instead of two separate sides that come with combo. He charged me for a different meal instead of the build-your- own. Just watch how they add things up if you make changes to your order. Not much seating. Good thing our friend came early to save seats for our small group.

    I thought it was just okay. I ordered the two thighs meal. The wait was long which is expected at such a busy location inside the Spectrum. I didn't mind that part. But the food came out lukewarm which I did mind. I didn't love the flavor of the chicken, it definitely tasted like it was roasted but there was a lemony undertone which I wasn't too fond of. Probably won't come back but I can see why it's popular.

    Was very excited to try their rotisserie chicken! it was pretty juicy and tender and i tried their plate, bowl, and wrap the plate was very worth it with 2 chickens and 2 sides. loved the pesto pasta and their potatos the wrap was also pretty good and went well with their sauces. def worth a try with reasonable pricing

    The food here is BOMB!!! Went today for the first time as my friend insisted that we go and I was blown away with how much I loved the food. I ordered the spicy wrap (with added lettuce and tomatoes) along with their special sauce and after just a few bites my tastebuds were in heaven. The wrap is absolutely to die for and I'd high recommend you try it when you get. It's messy, but don't let that stop you from chowing down. The chicken is incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful which is complimented by the crunch of the toasted wrap and all of the fresh ingredients inside. The sauce is super tasty with some zing and a nice kick which you have to try! I already can't wait to come back to get this again!!

    I came into Dizzy Bird at the Irvine Spectrum and absolutely loved it! The menu is healthy, balanced, and delicious. The chicken is very tender and juicy with the best spice. My fiancé ordered the Hot Bird and I got the 1/4 chicken plate with the lemon garlic potatoes and pesto pasta salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. We both really enjoyed the meals we ate and can't wait to come back! The prices are also very reasonable, especially given the portion sizes. My only complaint might the seating which can feel a bit cramped when busy but it's definitely worth the visit for the food! Highly recommend.

    I have seen such great reviews and talk about Dizzy Bird and I visit the Spectrum quite a bit so I was set to go visit and see what the buzz was all about. When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon it was pretty busy, only a few seats were avail in the shade outside and it was full inside. People eat pretty quick though and I noticed after waiting a few minutes, people were able to find seats. We wanted to try a couple of different items so we go a bowl and we got a wrap. The food was ready in about 10 minutes or so, not too long of a wait. Maybe i'm in the minority but I didn't think it was that great to where I would want to go back again. The bowl had standard things that I didn't think were all that great like the cherry tomatoes, pita chips, lettuce. The chicken was moist and tender, I did like that and the wrap had a delish sauce I think its their dizzy sauce. But nothing really stood out to me. Maybe I would have to order just the chicken plate not the bowl. The food did taste very fresh and high quality, also the bowl seemed healthy, that's a plus!

    I got the Hot Bird Wrap and it was alright. People said the size was really small but I got pretty full from it. I think it might be because it was so hot inside that I lost my appetite. But the hot bird wrap was a little too spicy and I want to try their pesto pasta next time.

    Okay I want to update my review as I feel it is very needed. This place is delicious. It is super consistent and I tried it again after awhile about a week ago.. i was hesitant as my previous time was not great.. and it was DELICIOUS!! I kept coming back and it is better every single time. The hot bird is the best. I crave it everyday. The service is quick and reliable. I wish they had more seats as they get busy.. but this place is amazing. I have been trying to find spots around me that replicate their shawarma but nobody comes close. Please visit if you are in this area.

    whole chicken and sides
    Laleen K.

    Was at the Irvine Spectrum and saw a line out the door for this place- I love Mediterranean food and I was excited to give it a try regardless of the wait, it took about 30 minutes for the food to come out on a busy day, a little hard to find seating because the store itself is pretty small, but there is plenty of seating outside of the store at the Spectrum. You can see the kitchen preparing the food from the register as well! We ordered the whole chicken which came with two sides and I think this one was my favorite because of how juicy the chicken was when I tore it open. We also ordered the chicken with the salad and a pineapple drink. Overall, I had a great experience and it was so yummy!

    Dizzy Bird has quickly become one of my fav eats for chicken! I have been wanting to try this hot spot for awhile, so when given an opportunity, I scheduled a lunch date w/ the hubs (since we were already at the Spectrum, dropping off our daughter for a hangout). We stopped by on a late Sunday afternoon (around 2:30ish) and it was poppin'. Even tho there was a line, ordering was fairly quick, since we knew what we wanted & ordered via the kiosk. Seating (both indoors & out) was hot real estate, so you really needed to keep an eye out to grab one before it's gone. Luckily, a fam was finishing up as we finished our ordering. Upon seating down, our name was called at the pick-up counter, so service was efficient. The vibe is chill, but fast-paced/hectic as well. Both the hubs & I ordered a two-thigh plate ~ which comes w/ 2 sides ($19.99/each). We opt'd for just the classic/original, no fancy smansy sauce it up..so we can truly taste the quality. I chose the pesto pasta salad & roasted lemon garlic potatoes for my sides & the hubs got the side salad & baked sweet potato. It was alot of food, for the price point..so it's fair (factoring in, we are dining at the Spectrum too). The food was fresh, chicken was moist & flavorful, and everything was cooked perfectly. The chicken was really juicy w/ a crispy exterior, and the sides complemented the meal well. I loved my pesto pasta salad. It reminded me of a mac salad (which I always get if given the chance), but w/ a pesto taste mixed in. Filling & refreshing. The potatoes were seasoned & grilled well. It had loads of flavor. I really liked my hub's baked sweet potato too. We halfsies the sides, so that we each could try everything. OMG..do yourself a favor and order extra TOUM (it's only like 0.75 cents extra)!!! That Lebanese garlic sauce is BOMB! I dipped it w/ literally EVERYTHING ~ from my pita bread to my chicken, and even my potatoes. YUMSSS.. All in all, great portions for the price & definitely worth a visit, esp. if you're craving fresh and healthy & in the area already. We'll be coming back again. RxFoodie recommend!!!

    A quick spot with quick service! Great portions. Nothing too spectacular but food was great and it was enjoyable when I was there with my friend for a quick checkup!

    Mediterranean Salad and fries
    Sadaf A.

    The atmosphere is highly energetic with the smiling staff. I happened to stand in line in front of one of the most annoying customer who asked about anything and everything and after adding and deleting numerous things she ended up cancelling it all except for one small thing. Hats off to the youth handling it all with a beautiful and understanding smile and not an eye roll or a big deep breath after she left. This is some really great upbringing and the training. Oh yes! Loved the fries and the Mediterranean salad. I lived it even without the dressing it comes with. You shouldn't try it!

They use a wet batter to coat the chicken instead of the potato starch so it doesn't have the outer panko-like texture. It also doesn't have any five spice taste. Despite this, the chicken was very moist and delicious. Paired with their spicy sauce, it was actually quite addicting. Fried oyster mushrooms - delicious, juicy and crispy. I'd get this again. Fries - this one is a pass for me. It's crispy on the outside and mash potato textured on the inside. Not too greasy but nothing too special for me. Orange chicken sandwich - this wasn't what I expected at all. The orange chicken sauce is very watery and I could barely taste the sauce at all. It just tasted like a slightly sweet chicken sandwich. The chicken was juicy and the slaw they added had a good crunch to it. Overall it's enjoyable but I'd probably get the regular chicken sandwich instead. There's two kiosks for ordering and items were made to order.

Easy to use although I did have to ask the worder how to apply the BOGO special and she said they just make you two when you order one! We got the BOGO fish cakes, the popcorn chicken and a box of regular chicken. I wasn't a fan of any of it. The coating was too sweet for my taste. Chicken was nothing great and the sauces we got tasted like something from a fast food place. The portion was pretty good though, esp for the free box of fish cakes and the popcorn chicken. My guy really enjoyed it though so giving 4 stars due to his happiness with it!

I ordered a 3-Item Plate, and it honestly looked smaller than what a 1-Item Plate used to be. The portion sizes across the board were extremely disappointing. The Orange Chicken was mushy and soft instead of crispy and fresh. The Beef & Broccoli contained only three small pieces of beef with mostly broccoli. I also paid the additional $1.95 upgrade for the Cantonese BBQ Brisket, and the portion was so small it was hard to believe. To make matters worse, the brisket was dry and lacked flavor. Even the rice portion was noticeably smaller than what Panda Express used to serve. I understand that food costs have increased and prices have gone up, but charging more while serving a fraction of the food customers used to receive is not acceptable. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling ripped off. There are plenty of restaurants offering better quality food, larger portions, and enough leftovers for a second meal. If Panda Express continues reducing portions while raising prices, they're going to lose loyal customers like me. Very disappointing experience.
