    extremely small portion

    Save your money and go somewhere else, this place isn't what it used to be. ordered a number 3 today which is one chicken sandwich and one chicken tender. what i received was an extremely thin strip of chicken that did not cover even half of the bun, coleslaw which i asked not be on the sandwich, an ice cold and questionably stale bun and half of a chicken tender on the side. Yes half a tender and i know its a half because the person who ordered behind me got the same meal and they had the other half. Not only has the quality and quantity of chicken diminished this is just straight up false advertising, I paid for a chicken sandwich and a chicken tender, not half a tender and half a sandwich. Upon leaving there wasn't even an employee to be found to discuss the issue with. This used to be a regular spot however i will no longer be eating here or recommending it to anyone.

    Prepare For The Spice If you want a spicy challenge, this is the spot. You'll find tasty chicken tenders with scalable spice levels. We ordered "Hot" and "Extra Hot" they were delish! Given that everything is made to order, be prepared to wait. The service was quick and amiable. I must say, coleslaw and fries are the same price and I wasn't able to swap out in my order. Oh well - I do wish there was liberty to do so. Also, be prepared to pay for sauces (dipping or honey). The restaurant was pretty relaxed and didn't have much traffic, easy to grab a booth and wait. Overall, very yummy.

    Came here with my friend today and got the fries with mac and cheese and chicken. Honestly, I was pretty disappointed. The mac and cheese was nasty, and I got the hot spice level but it wasn't hot whatsoever. Definitely wasn't worth the money. I'd rather go to Chubby's Hot Chicken.

    Sooooo, I was on my way to Raising Canes when lo and behold I came across this place on Yelp. While I was about to enter the drive thru I reversed and headed on over to Habibi's lol. It's a small establishment with a decent amount of tables and booths. I arrived around lunchtime on a Friday. There was quite a few people in there eating and a couple ahead of me to order. The lady at the register was super friendly and helpful with my questions regarding the spice levels. I love spicy food but I got a mild and it was a mild kick so it was very enjoyable. I ordered the loaded fries and bought the four piece strips for my fiancé. I absolutely loved my fries. The Mac didn't have much flavor itself but mixed with everything it fit nicely and that sauce they drizzle on top? GURL SO BOMB. lol I would come back just for the sauce and the strips haha The fries were really good and had lots of flavor .

    Food is great. However, I don't like that they use tenders for the sandwiches. Tenders by themselves are expensive, but adding a dollar gets you a sandwich. I also would love to see their seasoning on the fries. Their food is still pretty good quality & taste and I prefer this over other fast food places that would cost the same.

    Stopped in for an early lunch to avoid the rush. Decided to get the hot level, but it's not crazy hot. The sauce is addicting and keeps me coming back.

    Been to a few hot chicken spots so I think my ratings are pretty solid in this topic. I got the medium sandwiches. They honestly didn't have that bang like Dave's or Chubby's. It tasted almost like a regular chicken sandwich, and their sauce doesn't compare either. The fries were well seasoned and were not bad with the sauce. Habibi Sandwich: 7.0 Fries: 7.5 Sauce: 7.5

    Solid hot chicken. No, this isn't comparable to someplace like Howlin Rays, or Main Chick, or Chicken Koop, but it is definitely 5/5 for what it is; affordable, Halel hot chicken, emphasis on affordable. I've had the other Habibi's in Glendora, and in my opinion, this one is better, possibly because it's newer and standards are fresh. Spice runs a lot milder than what you'd expect, I find hot or extra hot to be the sweet spot for me, but "OMG" isn't truly omg lol, you'll be fine. The fries aren't my favorite here, but no one goes to get hot chicken places for their fries. Some reviews complained about lack of flavor, and while I see what they mean, it's definitely flavorful but not as much as the renowned hot chicken spots. This is more comparable with something like Dave's Hot Chicken or Egg n Bird, although Habibi's is much better and more flavorful than those two. Service is incredible, they're extremely nice here. Restaurant is nice and clean, looks new too, no complaints there. Just know what you're getting. If you want a Dave's Hot chicken category of hot chicken, then yes, this place is a 5/5 for that. But if you're trying to scratch that Howlin Rays itch, this will not do it. Great place!

    Combo one is two full size sandwiches and fries

    Great costumer service, food was great! Small but cozy, not super quiet, lots of "to go" orders.!23 went end of the day. Did need tables and soda machine area wiped down.

    Habibi's Hot Chicken is a hot chicken spot in north Fontana. My hubby and I stopped by to grab dinner to take out a few weeks ago and had a good first experience. Staff were welcoming and efficient. Food was tasty. The order even stayed fresh and warm on the car ride since we took it to go. Habibi's Hot Chicken is located in a shopping center off of Sierra Lakes Parkway in Fontana. There is plenty of free parking in a lot shared among all of the businesses. Finding a spot should not be an issue. Their menu boasts many favorites you would find from a hot chicken establishment: tenders (with different spice levels), a chicken sandwhich, fries (with some speciality options for "loaded" fries), and various other sides to complement fried chicken. Our order consisted of a : - Combo #2 (2 tenders and fries) in mild - Combo #1 (2 sandwiches and fries) in medium The chicken was tender, crispy, seasoned well, and spiced to the appropriate level we each selected. Fries were also crispy and well seasoned. Both combos came with their house sauce, which was also tasty and up to par with other hot chicken spots' sauce. Habibi's Hot Chicken made a strong first impression. Pricing was fair and justified the product we received. We would definitely visit this establishment again in the future.

    Really great food, the loaded fries are a favorite and is probably meant for two person serving, I'm taking half of it home since I couldn't eat it all in one sitting. Mac and cheese poured over crinkle cut fries with strips of fried chicken mixed in, covered in a slightly tangy sauce that reminds me of another popular chain sauce. Medium hot spicy is the choice for me. Staff is always nice. Some TVs on the wall and radio playing music. One of the few places open late night.

    Reading some of the previous reviews gave me a chuckle. What do you mean it was too cold inside?…read moreYou're about to stuff your face over an open fire grill. Don't want to be sweating while you're eating. Coming from highland/redlands, I am happy that there is a ayce kbbq spot in close proximity. Starting with cons: the parking is absolutely terrible. Parking spots are cramped and there's simple not enough spaces, especially during peak times. Pros: now as a long time ayce bbq lover, I understand that red castle quality is not top tier and I don't expect it to be when I go. I view red castle as an affordable joint to get my brisket and beef belly fix, which are the only two items that I basically get. It's odd reading about others experience with service, because every time I go, the service is always fast. I don't need to ask for the grill change because they are fully staffed and consistently checking in. Sure, the hospitality could improve a little but realize what you're going in there for. To stuff ya face! If you're coming here and comparing this place to other kbbq joints, you'll surely be let down. But to enjoy ayce protein for ~25 bucks without having to clean and prep a solid meal, many would realize the true gem that is Red Castle. I remember when their ayce was 13-15 bucks when they opened. Those were the days. I'm also glad that they allow single dining during the week. Not something that I'm able to take advantage of most of the time bc of work but I'm glad it's offered. To all the kbbq snobs (I'm one of them still). Go pay 40 for ayce somewhere else and be happy. Red castle is my go to for a quick fix that is close to home and affordable.

    Let's be honest .. this place is very MID KBBQ . The wait times are ridiculous and parking is a…read moredisaster especially on a busy street tucked close to a residential neighborhood. I wouldn't call this place BEST in the IE even if call it a place that's somewhat budget friendly in addition to a service fees and adding on the tip for service that's bare minimum. Quality of meats very fatty & poor & the ban chan (side dishes) are extremely overly saturated with sauce and Kim chi that wasn't fresh it was more on the SOUR and just disgusting in flavor , texture and color it doesn't seem Authentic if you know the difference of real Kim chi from other restaurants. Made several attempts to flag our server which seemed flustered and overwhelmed just for ordering extra meats and replenishing our beverages was such a huge in convenience. For KBBQ definitely in this order I'd say .. local restaurants I'd rather go to Wang Cho in riverside or chino hills U grille 2 spots in Rancho Cucamonga and As far as ayce self serve Koreana grille Riversde . If you wanna travel out hit up Orange County , Rowland heights , LA , SGV for the real deal . Would i dine here again , negative it's disgusting and poor quality of meats very fatty and rubbery texture and ban chan & soups that aren't authentic this restaurant is catered to a particular budget demographic and everything isn't just poor quality. Eating kbbq is more than just eating meat & drinkin beer .. Realistically but do what you wanna do ..
