    sad order of "half a pound" of chicken
    Anna B.

    after a decade+ of being a customer at ezells, today is my last visit. paid $17 and some change for "half a pound" of tenders and received the saddest 4 little pieces of chicken and some potato. what a joke just keep raising the prices and shrinking the portions. this location has been notoriously bad for skimpy portions since day one, but this was the end of the road for me. nobody should be paying damn near 20 bucks for a little school lunch. sad that a beloved staple has turned into a cash grab. shout out to the staff though, great service. the prices and portioning are not their fault.

    Ribbon cutting ceremony at grand opening

    Yay!! I was free today for the grand opening and first day of business at the new Ezell's Famous Chicken location at Totem Lake. I love this local icon of the Puget Sound area. It is so cool to see it expanding closer to my home and that makes it more of a reason to stop by for some awesome fried chicken and delicious sides (OMG, the rolls!!!). I had an 8 piece mixed combo and a side of spicy chicken livers to go for the family. My sides included their awesome mac n cheese and bbq baked beans. All were perfectly prepared and super yummy! I have learned recently that they are going to expand the business into Spokane and then Oregon soon which is wonderful to see. There is a nice local atmosphere and pride to the Ezell locations I've been to and this new Totem Lake location is no different. It has all of the favorites in a nice setting with lots of parking and a clean bright interior and smiling faces. At the grand opening today I witnessed the ribbon cutting, got a free Ezell's reusable bag, and met the staff and some local celebrities and Kirkland community ambassadors. There was a cheerful and optimistic vibe all over this place today. I believe it will continue for a long time. Thanks Ezell's Famous Chicken for doing chicken right and making our hometown shine!

    So Good!!! Some of the best fried chicken around. My favorite is the spicy tender lunch special with Cajun fries. Quick, clean, and delicious, what more can you ask for?!

    Chicken strips.  Small portion unfortunately. More like a kid meal.

    Nice indoor setting area finally. Good location in Kirkland. They just opened today. David the manager was very nice and very welcoming. The chicken was fresh and hot. I just think the portion was too small. You can see in the picture. Because if that I give them four stars.

Ordered the Double Cluck with crinkle fries, garlic toast, and chicken strips with ranch. Overall... it was just okay. Nothing terrible, but definitely nothing memorable either. It honestly tasted like something you'd grab from a gas station--filling, but missing that "something" that makes you want to come back. The fries was pretty salty, and the whole meal just felt kind of one-note. Not bad enough to complain hard, but not good enough to recommend based on what I had. Service-wise, it took about 10 minutes to get my order--and I was the only person there. Maybe I just picked the wrong item, so I'd be open to trying something else if there's a standout on the menu. But based on this visit, it was pretty underwhelming.

First off the food was a huge hit the garlic toast bread is just an awesome touch to an overall great meal at a good price. My favorite part of the meal was the chicken tenders. They come in 2,3 or 4 tender meal options which is just so convenient and so much better than having to buy like a 3 or 6 meal piece I love the option of choosing exactly how many you want. The breading on these is arguably the best I've ever had on a tender. It's crispy and thin and not greasy or clunky and clumpy like a lot of tenders. The chicken itself was so juicy idk if they brine it or inject it with something but it was so juicy and the skin had the perfect crisp. They come with a choice of sauces but my favorite was actually the packets of hot sauce they have at the counter with the utensils to me it's the perfect style hot sauce for fried chicken. The food was quick but tasted pretty fresh I really couldn't ask for anything more .

    I definitely recommend this place, and I'll be back!…read more I ordered the 3 fried chicken tender meal with the mild spice level. The chicken is Hawaiian-style, and the meal comes with daikon pickles. As a pickle lover, I was excited and these were awesome They were a strange highlighter-yellow color, but don't let that scare you. They were delicious! The chicken tenders were HUGE and tasted like nice pieces of breast meat. They were crispy, well seasoned and filling enough that I could only finish 2 out of 3. I also ordered the kimchi mac & cheese and fries. Everything is à la carte, and honestly, the hardest part was picking sides because there were so many choices First, the FRIES. Crispy, clean tasting and seasoned perfectly. I'm emphasizing this because here in Seattle, fries are always a mystery You truly never know what you're going to get. The kimchi mac & cheese surprised me in the best way. I was a little nervous the kimchi sauce would overpower everything, but I barely noticed it. Every bite was cheesy, thick and creamy with a sharper cheese flavor, not that overly gooey, messy mac & cheese. I'd heard before coming here that their spice levels can run hotter than advertised, for example, that the mild cayenne might taste more like hot. Personally, I didn't think the mild was hotter than advertised. If you enjoy seasoned food, you should be fine. If you're sensitive to spice or heavy seasoning, just work your way up. And don't skip the dips! I tried the hibiscus BBQ sauce and really liked it. I'm normally a honey mustard girl too, but I wasn't paying extra for another sauce Luckily, the dip portion was pretty generous and plenty for my meal. Service was fast, informative and decent. The restaurant itself was small, quiet and super laid-back. I went with a friend and only saw maybe two other people come in while we were there. Next time I'm trying that cucumber salad Overall, crispy Hawaiian-style chicken, great sides, GOOD fries, awesome pickles and portions that actually fill you up. I'll definitely be back.

Pretty…read moresolid, the chicken is not dry despite being not very oily, which makes this a great choice if you want a fried chicken sandwich that feels a little more healthy. I got the medium spice level and it was about as spicy as I was expecting, I would probably get the hot next time. Fair warning, my spice tolerance is pretty high so what I think of as medium may not be what everyone else expects medium to be, since I saw a lot of the reviews on Google said that it was too spicy. Everything here was a bit on the salty side, but not unbearable. The fries were also pretty good, so I'd probably get more of those!

    So happy to finally have a proper Korean fried chicken joint in NW Seattle!…read more Zip Dak Express recently took over the spot on the side of the Shell station off of 46th & Fremont, which has previously been home to a Mexican truck (Chayote) and a Brazilian burger spot (Capital Burgue). I drive by that Shell pretty much every day during my commute, so I noticed the new truck pop up and made it a point to swing by. Drove up on May 30 and found out they had just soft-opened the day before - so I was basically there from the jump. I ordered a half size of the soy garlic along with a side of curly fries. They're currently only running boneless chicken and tenders during soft opening, which honestly worked out fine since my partner prefers boneless anyway. Before ordering, I asked about the difference between their mild and medium heat levels, and they offered to coat the chicken in mild and serve the medium as a dipping sauce on the side - super accommodating. Good thing too, because their medium is no joke. Think a tad hotter than Wingstop's mango habanero. That's coming from someone who can usually handle spice. The two people running the truck showed a lot of love. I pulled up with my dog in the car, and the kind lady working was quick to come over and give him lots of attention, and a treat! She mentioned that they're hoping to stick around in the neighborhood for the long haul and have plans to build out the seating area - including a fenced section for people who want to bring their dogs and let them hang out. Seems like they're dog people, I'm already looking forward to it :) I'll be honest - I might be a little biased here haha. Fried chicken is probably my single favorite food, and Korean fried chicken is on the top tier. So take that for whatever it's worth. But this was a great first impression, and I'll definitely be back once they open up the full menu, or hell even before that since they're so close.

Our server was very friendly and helpful. They have an extensive menu of pub style foods. My wife settled on the fish sandwich, while I went for the breakfast burrito. Hey, it's 9 am somewhere, right? The fish got a thumbs up for taste, with a crunchy batter, but the portion size was lacking, especially for the price, which I felt was on the high side. My burrito, on the other hand, was a big portion and very flavorful. I thought it was priced appropriately. I also had a 12 oz beer - I liked their eclectic list of choices, but I was very disappointed to be charged $9 for this small pour. All in all, a good place, and great for a group.
