    The colors of the restaurant stood out and I'd see another location prior to today, so I gave them a try. I ordered Chicken Chop Salad: Crispy Chicken Tender * Cherry Tomato * Roasted Corn * Avocado Mash * Pepitas * Crispy Tortillas * Cotija * Cilantro * Green Onions * Chipotle Lime Dressing Service was fast and friendly. I inquired about a different dressing and was given one complimentary. Inside and out was cute, CA, fast casual. I would like to try other items in the future.

    was around the area and wanted to checkout the new chimichurri salad. it definitely hit the spot and the portion is really good, especially if you're looking to share. As for the taste, it was a solid 4/5. I'd definitely prefer the elote one over the chimichurri if i came back. overall would recommend this starbird location, the staff is quick and friendly!

    Yummy yummy fries with your choice of dipping sauces.

    Happy this place closes at 10:00 pm on weeknights but when customers are in the restaurant, ordering or needing help, why does the staff have to be cleaning out the drink area or mopping. It just rushes the experience. I needed help with my app order and was told I had to speak to the manager who wasn't on site. Disappointed. I eventually solved it through corporate headquarters. Ok, bye.

    The Service: Octavia was helping us at the counter. So nice to walk into the restaurant and greeted with a smile! She highly recommended their seasonal special new menu, Japanese BBQ lineup. (Japanese BBQ Bird, Tokyo Sesame Crunch, Japanese BBQ Tender Box & Okonomiyaki Fries) The Food: OMG! The pickle ginger & wasabi aioli definitely brought the food to the next level! No more boring ketchup for my fried chicken & fries. When we saw the bonito flakes on the fries, yes~ that is so Japanese! Love that sweet & smoky BBQ sauce too. It's fun to see how creative they bring in Japanese flavors to their menu. "Oishi~" (delicious~) The Parking: Huge plaza parking lot!

    I really wish we had Starbird in San Diego, this location in Torrance is the closest to me. I have also been to the one in Hermosa Beach before, but the parking is much better here. I really like the Elote chop salad, and it was big enough to feed both of us. I like that you have so many sauce and glaze options for the wings, and I like to use the Thai Herb Aioli as my salad dressing or dip for wings. I also like that there's a big choice in how you can get your chicken: standard wings, boneless wings, tenders, or nuggets. And the glaze choices, and dips. My favorite is strips or boneless wings. The churros were pretty good, but they're not my favorite. They are thinner loops, but I prefer the thicker ones that are a little softer inside the crunch. I probably wouldn't bother ordering them again. Ordering was easy on the kiosk, especially if you want to customize ingredients. You can also order on the app, which would save on the wait time. I was using giftcards, which were a little more complicated to use on the kiosk but not a deal-breaker. Parking was easy because it's in a large shopping center with other businesses.

    Salad. Kids meal. And burger

    The good: I got the Korean sesame fried chicken salad, a hot chicken sandwich and a kids meal (chicken nuggets and fries). The chicken had a great texture. The crispy batter wasn't too hard. The Korean salad was sweet and had SO much crunch (from radish, cucumbers, fried wonton strips, green lettuce, and chicken). I liked that the cucumber slices were tiny and small. It was cute and fine. Even the drinks were great! I tried the mango (green?) tea and pineapple limeade. I liked the ease of the self-ordering kiosk. The food came out promptly. There was both indoor and outdoor seating. If you're sitting outdoors you can see your name be called on a TV screen and there's an outdoor window for you to get your food. Our food was personally brought out to us by a server. There's plenty of parking. The salad was massive and filling. The bad: I wish it didn't cost an extra dollar to make the chicken extra spicy. The interesting: I've tried their other location in San Jose before and it had a similar modern feel with ample outdoor seating. They're originally from NorCal.

    Japanese BBQ tenders
    Abbi F.

    The food is VERY tasty, though this is definitely not the place to go if you're even remotely in a hurry. The service was very friendly, but definitely not efficient. After waiting a while, they ended up giving my order to another customer. They immediately said they'd remake my order, but that, of course, took even more time. Once I got my paws on my order of Japanese BBQ tenders, they were almost delicious enough to make me forget the logistical snafu...until I saw them have a similar incident with 2 other customers. Food = 4.5 stars Service = 2 stars So, with an average of 3.25, I'm dishing out 3 stars.

    This picture was taken on 3/19/26, this is 10 wings barely any chicken on the bones... the other box of 10 wings was just as small Flavor is 10/10 but I shouldn't spend $40. On 20 wings and brussels sprouts and still be hungry.. Not sure what's going on, but I hope you guys fix it.

    Crispy Chicken Thai Salad
    Anthony P.

    This has got to be the one of the best, (or the best ) chicken joints I've ever been too. The Thai chicken salad with garlic herb aioli was amazing! Chicken was super crispy and tender, salad was made with fresh lettuce, carrots, cucumber slices and the dressings were savory! The staff is amazing, courteous, and super helpful, got my order in and out within 15 minutes. Would definitely recommend stopping here if you want fast food and service. They have seating inside, or a few tables outside if you want to enjoy the fresh air and the great weather. 10 outta 10

    This place is so good! The Nashville Hot bird combo with the truffle fries was amazing! Service was quick, and the process to order was really easy thanks to the kiosk. Octavia was incredible and very welcoming to us as first time customers. She was so warm and attentive to us during our dine in, I would come back simply for the service alone. The place is really clean too. I would 100% recommend if you're looking for a quick bite! P.S. thank you for the cookie, Octavia! :)

    Home Fries (boring)
    Sharif A.

    Overall, I'd give it a 3.5, but rounding up to a 4. Decided to give the new chicken place in the area a try. We ordered the Indian Hotbird sandwich and tender box because I usually find standard chicken sandwiches boring and lacking flavor. We also ordered brussel sprouts and fries. The home fries were sad. If I can't eat your fry standalone without dipping it in sauce, leave it off the menu I say. The brussel sprouts on the other hand was full of flavor, enhanced by the saracha aioli sauce. The chicken by itself was your average chicken, but the "Indian" flavoring did enhance the flavor and added a bit of spice. It wasn't as juicy as the picture. The saracha aioli was the star! We ordered using the self service monitor, food was prepared timely, and the person working the front was friendly.

    Tried this new location recently and tried their chicken nuggets. These nuggets are probably the biggest I've seen at anyplace. I also ordered a couple of dipping sauces to go with them. The chicken was moist and the coating/breading has a nice taste to it. When I visited they took awhile to take my order since it looked like they were doing a lot of on-line orders. There is a big parking lot available so that's no problem. The service when they did finally get to me was good. If I go back I'll probably try one of their salads that looked pretty good.

    The Set Up
    Leonard A.

    Every day chicken places try to test them Ah! Every day chicken places try to put them down but look what they've done! Now they're a MF Starbird! Ok! Ok! So if you're like Megan and Bruno and you like your chicken Fat Juicy and Wet then this place is your best bet and totally legit! We ordered their Chicken Sandwich and strips along with a couple massive salads. I'm going to say their chicken is definitely juicy and will definitely fill you up! Ok maybe not you but for sure me! LoL! So yeah, their chicken is good so pretty much whatever you order it will most likely be good and that's my opinion since we had four of the items on the menu. The service was great and even though it was packed they didn't miss a beat. The place is kinda small but they do have patio seating available and from my observation it's a popular grab and go. And that's my take on this chicken spot, Peace out...

    Ask the Community - Starbird Chicken

    Is there a grilled or blackened chicken option?

    Hello. They do not show these options on their menu. Grilled chicken may be a possibility as they are very accommodating but it is highly doubtful for the blackened chicken option. Everything on their menu is delicious. Best of luck.

    Does the dressing come separate from salad?

    Yes, your choice of dressing comes on the side. 👍

    When is the restaurant opening?

    Grand opening is Friday 06/27/25

We ordered avocado artisan toast, lentil chili, mushroom carne asada, coconut pumpkin curry and hibiscus drink. The avocado toast looked really basic but tasted so amazing. The lentil chili was good but a little too salty for my taste and the mushroom carne asada was a bit too sour for me like ceviche sour level with no seafood. We really liked the coconut curry. That was the highlight of the meal. It came with this spicy sauce but it was like 3/5 spicy level for me lol but went really well w the curry and also the asada. Overall: love the service. The cashier David was really friendly and knowledgeable and also let us try the curry before we ordered. We also met the owner Jason as well and he offered to switch anything out if we didn't like it. They have outdoor seating only which was nice for today.

He listed the different options for milk for my lattes and refilled the water tank at the end of the station after being notified it was low. I love that they had a chilled water tank that's self serve in the cafe because that hit after my run. For drinks I got a teddy graham latte with oat milk which was a seasonal spring menu item. It was topped with cinnamon which gave it almost a little spicy kick in the beginning that I was not mad about. The oat milk was so creamy and I liked that the latte wasn't overly sweet. I also got a matcha latte with oat milk for my mother-in-law. The matcha was delicious and the drink again was not overly sweet which can be the case at some other places.

I also saw some other customers eating sandwiches that looked hearty so I may need to make another trip here to try out some of the food.
