    U  Undercooked chicken
    Salman T.

    I wish I could give them 0 stars! Our chicken was not fully cooked. When we called & explained this to the employee: Maria we had also requested that they cook up a fresh batch for us so we wouldn't have to wait long after having to bring back the undercooked chicken they sold us. She was rude and adamant that the chicken could not have been raw and wanted us to bring the chicken back first for inspection. We had no choice so we went back down there and it was then that she apologized and also got another batch. That's should've been the end of it. However, after we got the new batch home: long and behold...the chicken is undercooked AGAIN. Now when I say this, J mean the meat is chewy as you get closer to the bone, which is PINK with bloody-red marrow--just to be CLEAR. We called back and I asked them if they expected us to cook the chicken we paid for, too. Even after this first incident, she was STILL adamant that their cooking process was fine and told me to tell her manager, TOMORROW. They refused to acknowledge their dangerous error or to consider the possibility that there may have been a flaw with their equip ent and/or cooking process. As I am more concerned for the public's health than she is, I am astonished that she dismisses me to sell another customer this chicken before coming back in the phone. 0 accountability on their part, just like what their rating should be. In the meanwhile. I don't know what the outcome will be as my kids consumed some of this undercooked chicken as did I(!). No refund. No reasonable accommodation. No apology. Now I'm forced to do the job I paid for: cook and have concerns of what tomorrow may bring regarding the pieces of uncooked chicken consumed. ***It should also be noted that they built this business with the help of the Muslim community by selling halal, initially. The. When business built up. They stopped using halal chicks to try the lower costs. When this negatively impacted business, they reverted back to selling halal again. I wouldn't advise ANYONE to go hey

    Gas station fried chicken? Best idea ever! For a 2 piece meal, it's not dry. It's super juicy, got some spice to it, and the batter is indeed crispy. I think I'd prefer this over kfc anyday.

    Honestly, everything really was bland for me. It's like most of the places that suppose to sell Southern food in the Bay Area is missing down home flavor in their food. The biscuits didn't taste like honey butter was on it and very dry. The chicken was season-less especially the rice and beans and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes tasted so watered down. I can't come back.

    *****Customer Experience During the COVID-19 Pandemic***** I was running errands in the Hayward/Union City area on 07/11/2020 when I received a text from my fried chicken-loving brother, asking if I could pick up some fried chicken for dinner at this KKC. Knowing how much he wanted this, I obliged. I pulled into the Valero station at the corner of Winton and Hesperian, where this KKC is located, at around 5 pm. Initially, I was hesitant to enter because there was an unsheltered man lying on the ground right outside. But I didn't want to disappoint my brother so I braved it and went inside. Although the interior was small, there was sufficient room for social distancing. Some safety measures were implemented for the safety of patrons and the staff. I ordered a 12-piece chicken tender family meal plus a 16-piece dark box. The total was $40. The family who runs this enterprise was very cheerful and friendly. They left a very good impression with me. While waiting for my food, I was talking to a man who seemed to know his fried chicken. He said out of many KKCs he had tried, this one is the best. The food was pretty decent. The batter of the chicken was very crunchy and the meat was moist and flavorful. The fries (more like wedges) were okay. The biscuits were very good and I especially loved the blueberry ones. I'll definitely return if I'm in the area and would recommend this place to others. BONUS MATERIAL: - Major credit cards accepted.

    There was a whole bunch of gentleman working there. The gentleman that was at the register quickly turned to me and said can I take your order please? I I'm not quite ready yet thank you. He said how many pieces of chicken would you like? I said not just ready yet. Then he began to take my order and I ordered two pieces of chicken and a side of fries. I must say that chicken was very moist very flavorful. The pieces of chicken I had had so much meat on them very delicious seasoned very well.Are usually not a fan of potato wedges however they were very good. And now I'm stuffed five stars thanks crispy chicken

    We always pass by this place on the way home and one night we decided to try it. Visit was on 7/12/22. The chicken was VERY crispy! However the actual flavor was too salty for us especially on the skin. If the saltiness were dialed down a bit it would have been perfect. Another star down due to the wrong order. We requested for gravy only but was given Mashed potatoes instead. The mashed potatoes were okay.

    Chile! Gas station chicken? Can I get a hell yes?! I was always super curious about the actual setting of this place. I used to always order delivery because once I tried this chicken at a party, I was impressed. We always order Krispy Krunchy for parties now. This was my actual first time going in to order. This is a typical Valero gas station with the food on display at the register. Tita is taking the order and Tito is frying up chicken in the back. The service is gas station service but the chicken is lit! Tip: Go a little before lunch time. I got there at 12 and was the second in line, but when I got out of line, there were 10 people behind me. I got my food pretty fast. The mashed potatoes and gravy were pretty good and the wedges. The Mac and cheese was just OK and the chicken speaks for itself. I've had my fair share of KFC, Popeye's, Jollibee, Church's and KKC tops them all. I don't think I'm going back.

    The chicken is in there!

    I came here with my husband around 6PM. No line, no wait. At first looking for fried chicken joints, this is the last place I would be like HEY LETS GO HERE! It is located inside the gas station. Yep. A gas station. Again, not the first place I would think of getting chicken but I guess you can't judge it by the store front? HA! I have to say I was not disappointed. It is the BEST cajun style fried chicken I had. We ordered the 12 piece mix dark/white meat. It was a lot for 2 people. I usually don't like chicken breast because it is super dry and not as good as the thighs, wings, or drumsticks. This place though, changed my mind about all meat. The chicken breast was so juicy, tender, and full of flavor. You have to tell me how you do it! Long story short, I will come back. Probably try the other food option and maybe some of their sauces too.

    TL;DR: Literally crispy crunchy fried chicken. Very yummy. Thoughts: Located at the Valero gas station in the intersection of Winton and Hesperian, this unassuming place has some legit Cajun style fried chicken! I stopped by here after shopping at Southland Mall nearby on the Black Friday. I ordered the 8 pieces dark meat fried chicken ($8.99); it came with 4 thighs and 4 drumsticks. The service was efficient; I got my order within a minute or two. The fried chicken was BOMB: juicy on the inside and crispy + crunchy on the outside. Being in Cajun style added a nice spicy kick to the flavor. Highly recommended.

A graffiti covered food truck and covered tables and benches with mood lights around the perimeter. Lots of effort was put toward the environment but it still isn't what Oakland location is. Shared parking lot with liquor store can be convenient -- maybe people deep in car culture would especially like this - you can eat with your car within view. Fries were abundant - probably too many. Burger was large enough I didnt need them at all. I think for me that is the whole problem with this place - its all too much. Its like why I don't like Black Bear diner. Too much food - and too heavy. This is very tender chicken but at the same time heavy enough you couldn't eat something like this every day. Small cute street cat came around for some leftovers. He lives along the wall of neighboring building in the bushes. Added a little more personality.

The tofu soup is amazing, you might want to ask no veggies. The two servers bring everything in an amazing tempo, refilling the ban chan and the drinks fast! The only issue is the dark single bulb blinking bathroom that shadows the nice decor they fixed up. Always a favorite, and worth the cost!
