Starbird Chicken - Korean fried chicken sandwich(8.27) - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

TLDR: Overall, a more EXPENSIVE and OK food joint, with POOR customer service, DRY chicken, and COLD fries! If you're in the area, you may just want to pass on it. This is one of the newest locations to open in the East Bay and all of the fried chicken selections are GLUTEN FREE. Service: {1/5 Stars} Moderate amount of people waiting about 10 minutes per order. You can either choose to get reminded by phone or by pager to know when to pick up your meal. Upon picking up meal, My name was called, but the pager did not go off. Weird. Then while I was walking up too see if this was my meal, the manager seemed to 'interrogate' me whether or not this was my meal, and indeed it was. After that I was expecting a "I apologize for that" or simple, "thank you for coming" but no, just my food being slid over and that "I don't believe you look." Food: Four tender box comes with fries and coleslaw {$12.47, 2/5 Stars} : 1. Tenders were cold and dry. Had decent flavor, but dry inside so needed to dip in sauces. 2. Fries were also cold and lacked basic seasoning, (salt/pepper) and had that "I been sitting around for awhile taste." 3. Coleslaw was just ok, nothing special. The sauce was bland and again lacked both salt and pepper. Had sesame seeds in it which was odd and seemed out of places vs the traditional celery seeds. 4: The sauces was the high point of this meal. Absolutely delicious both the Greek yogurt ranch and the star sauce. Both were incredibly creamy and had that Unami taste. Star sauce is like a creamy bbq sauce (think of the Chick fil a sauce). read more

They were doing promo for grand opening and I was on the email list. I ordered a crispy chicken salad online, and the hot fries. The food was ready at the time I ordered it for. The salad really didn't have much going on, I think next time I will stick with the sandwich. Unlike everyone else I know, I am not a huge fan of chicken sandwiches but it does seem like the thing to eat at Starbird. The hot fries were ok, not that that hot. The restaurant itself is very clean, and has a very modern aesthetic design. I will be back to try one of their sandwiches. read more

I have been to this location multiple times and it's so consistent every time. I order through App and also pop In for a quick takeout orders, as well. The Sandwiches and fries always fresh and the Chicken tenders are always hot. The workers are super friendly and helpful. The parking is also convenient and the Alameda soda Fountain and fresh teas are delicious. Lucky to have a Starbird Chicken in the 925 and will keep on going!! Keep Up the good work SB Chicken!! read more

New chicken spot in WC! But is it really worth the excitement? I'll be straight up to whoever is reading this-- it's not what I expected. I 100% understand that I went during their grand opening but first impressions are kind of important, right? Especially for a pretty popular, well-liked chicken spot. To start, the cashier at the register looked so irritated and upset. My boyfriend even heard her sigh (but an annoyed sigh) when we were trying to order. Mind you, it was our first time here and we were so excited to finally have Starbird closer to us. Also to add, we barely heard her speaking and she was not helpful at all. It felt like we were expected to already know the menu, already know what to order, etc. The wait didn't take too long, and we were able to find a table right away. They have seating outside, too. We sat right next to their fountain drinks. And we were both impressed with their homemade teas and lemonade! We were mostly impressed by their homemade Thai tea!!! I'm telling you- their Thai tea is a must get!!!!!! For the food: We ordered their Starbird Sandwich, Korean Glazed Tender Box, and Churros. Starbird Sandwich: The chicken was missing that crisp, that crunch. The bread didn't taste fresh and was a bit overpowering the chicken. We also didn't taste the avocado spread at all. Korean Tenders: The glaze was tasty at first but after a few more bites... it started tasting salty and starchy. I found myself drowning the tender in their homemade sauces and even wiping off the glaze. The chicken itself was tender and crisp compared to the sandwich. However, I wish I ordered their original tender instead. Presentation of the food wasn't the best either. It looked like the tenders were thrown inside the box then sauce was quickly poured on top then handled not with care afterwards. The churros: Sigh. I was so excited to see churros on the menu. The churros had little to no cinnamon sugar on it and the dough itself was oily and lacking that churro texture and consistency. It was also too late when we realized that we didn't even get the maple syrup with it. I've seen their over 1K reviews on Yelp for their SF location so my expectations for Starbird WC were high. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan... maybe I just need to check them out again a few months after opening; give them a little more time to progress. read more

The fact that this place has GLUTEN FREE fried chicken... I mean, that is a 5 stars from me already, let alone it's freakin delicious. To be honest, I'm actually scared because this place is so close to my house that it's dangerous because it's so good. Not even kidding... But seriously, this is some good fried chicken. I love love LOVE the variety of options they have on the menu, they really do have something for EVERYONE (gluten free, vegetarian, etc.). This is a rare find for a "fast food" like type of place and I think they really nailed it by appealing to the masses with their myriad of menu offerings. I had the classic tenders that came with fries, slaw and two sauces. I seriously cannot complain about anything! As someone who is gluten intolerant, it's nearly impossible to find amazing tasting food such as fried chicken / other foods that are typically not GF. It was so awesome to be able to order the tenders off the menu and not feel like I was missing out on anything! I definitely will be back here (hopefully not too often for the waistline...) but I'm super stoked about this awesome find! Very easy 5 stars to give! read more

Enjoyed dinner tonight courtesy of YELP VIP week. I attempted to order online with my phone but it seemed a bit complicated with having to log in and the page was glitchy a bit so I figured I'd order once I got there. The place was PACKED! I clearly hit the huge dinner rush. I took a few minutes to figure it out on my phone and got my order placed. It took approximately 30 minutes from the time I placed my order for it to be ready. It was weird though I saw people in line before and after me who ordered at the restaurant come and go way before me. Maybe online ordering isn't the way to go. Anyways, the staff was seriously working their butts off and were very friendly in handling a stressful situation. I ordered the Korean chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked perfectly with a nice crush to the breading. The sandwich was a bit sweet but had good flavor. My fiancé ordered the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich make it Blazin. I also got him an extra side of the buffalo sauce, which he was glad to be able to make his a bit more spicy. We shared a side of slaw which is a mayo based one. The kale made it hold up to the dressing nicely. I also had a Thai iced tea to drink, yum yum. read more

Starbird Chicken - Lemon pepper and garlic parm - Chicken Shop Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I received this meal for free. I would have given 4.5 stars due to the online ordering error but it was their opening day and we all know a restaurant deserves some slack. I was an early sign-up for their email list so I was comped my meal. I put in an online order for a 4 piece Nashville tender box with slaw & fries. The 2 sauces I picked were the greek yogurt ranch and star sauce. Add on large thai ice tea. I also put in an order for 10 pieces of wings (lemon pepper & buffalo) with 2 sauces: honey mustard and blue cheese. The comp was to cover a tender box and drink so I paid for the wings. I live about 30 mins away and when I parked my car I saw an email saying the online ordering had issues and they might not have received my order. So I did have to reorder in person when I got there - luckily I didn't have anywhere else to be right after. My cashier let me know they didn't have any wings so I got the Big star sandwich instead. Had to look over the menu to decide and she was kind and told me to take my time even though they were busy. I expected to pay for part of my meal since the comp was only for X amount but they comped the whole thing. I appreciated that since I was told the wait for chicken would be 30 mins. I was given my drink cup and off I went to fill it up. They had a lot of choices and I almost got the lemonade instead of thai ice tea. My buzzer went off after 15-20 mins which was a shorter wait time than anticipated. They doubled checked if I had sauce and I clarified which one I wanted and it was quickly placed in my bag. (Put the buzzer in the bin, the server can't handle it) The thai tea was pretty good, not super strong tea flavor which I love. The tender and fries were delicious!! Both sauces were good but definitely the ranch was my favorite for the Nashville hot. Which by the way I didn't think was spicy at all. The slaw was pretty decent and nice flavor change instead of all fries. Sandwich was good too! Fresh tomato and lettuce in there. Really enjoyed everything. Wish there was a closer location to me because this would be my chicken tendies spot. Crispy on the outside and not dry!! Hope their online system gets fixed soon read more

My boyfriend and I were craving chicken and this place did not disappoint. I ordered the chicken chop salad with crispy chicken and the salad was awesome! (: loved how refreshing the chili lime vinaigrette was. It was tangy and sweet. The chicken was seasoned really well, and the overall proportions from the toppings to the salad was great. Definitely would order again. My boyfriend decided to order the truffle bird sandwich. He liked it, rated a 3.5/5. Also ordered the lil' tender box to share and again, the tender was seasoned well. Fries were lightly salted which I enjoyed and the star sauce was fantastic. Wish I had more of it (: Overall, a really great takeout experience, definitely would order from here again and will try something different! (: read more

I felt icky after eating.

Usually it's 4 stars for me. But, y'all really got me in a petty mood today. I ordered from the kiosk which is super easy and user friendly. The place was clean no issues with that. But my order.. I ordered a bahn mi grilled chicken sandwich (meal) and the Thai chicken Tender box.. Again I never have issues. So when I get home. Instead of a sandwich it's a salad. No screw up on my part at all my receipt shows specifically what I ordered. This is why I don't leave a tip. Cause ya'll don't give af about your job to even ensure the order is 100% correct before handing it to the customer. read more

Different and good refreshing beverages including seasonal Thai Tea (good Thai tea but not great). Bahn chicken is awesome same with their fries. Chicken wings are the only downside; very small for the price and the lemon pepper chicken has too much lemon powder- tone it back and it will be a lot better. Remember dry spices are more potent than fresh! read more

My friend and I went to grab a quick bite at Starbird after the gym one night. It was my first time trying them out. The chicken they use in their sandwich tasted pretty fresh but the overall taste of the Big Star sandwich was just mediocre. My friend had the same sentiments about his salad. Starbird is alright but I think I prefer Hotboys Chicken sandwiches or Chick-fil-A better. read more

Awesome food. Not terribly good for you but definitely delicious when you can treat yourself.

We went here pre-concert. Ordered at the kiosk and picked up our wait air fried order when your name appears on the menu board. Very contactless but not a bad thing in today's time. For us, it was okay. No bad service, plenty of seating. We were not overwhelmed though it looks like it does have its fan base. read more

Chik- fil-who? Starbirds is THE BEST "fast food" chicken. They have an extensive menu- you can have tenders, salads, tacos, wings... regular or Nashville hot...we usually order the family meal deal. It's a bargin and feeds 5. Comes with two big baskets of chicken tenders, 2 tubs of slaw (I don't even like slaw but theirs is delish- made with kale and a wasabi dressing) and the crispiest tater tots. (Picture is missing a basket of chicken and tub of slaw but you get the idea). It also comes with 6 sauces. The starbird sauce is like chik-fil-a sauce but 1,000 better! We also like the wasabi and Greek yougurt ranch. Sauces are fresh made in house not packaged. Also their chicken is organic and gluten-free. Starbirds is the best! read more

Definitely a 5/5! read more

I've visited Starbird Chicken 3 times and my experiences have been hit or miss, hence 3 stars. First off, parking is great. Starbird Chicken replaced the Taco Bell that used to be here. There's a large parking lot, since it is located in a plaza. Food is what has really been hit or miss. The wings overall have been great. I'm not sure if there's different spice levels, but they could probably make it clearer if there were. I've enjoyed 2/3 flavors I've tried, so that's fine. I am not a fan of the Starbird Sandwich. First of all, when I ordered it to go, the employee didn't tell me they ran out of "Starbird sandwich wrapping paper", so I drove home thinking they gave me an incorrect sandwich. I drove back only for the employee to tell me what happened. The sandwich itself was meh. I don't think I was a fan of the coleslaw in the sandwich. I also felt like the chicken could be crispier. Just somehow, the flavors of the sandwich didn't seem to complement each other. I would probably never order it again. I would return for the wings though. read more

Love this place for a quick bite with healthy options! The salad is so delicious and a big serving

Staff was friendly. Service was quick and the fried chicken nuggets are amazing with the blue cheese sauce !

Parking lot is inconvenient to get in & out of, just sayin. I ordered the regular fried chicken sandwich. Cashier said it would be 10 minute wait, no problem. Then less than 60 seconds, my buzzer was buzzing. Hmm. Did they have one pre-made? I'm guessing yes. Bread was good bread, but was sopping wet from coleslaw sitting on it for a period of time. There was more batter than there was chicken on the fried chicken. Avocado only in one spot of the sandwich in a big glob. Wanted to like this place. Flavors were all there. Executed poorly. And there should be more chicken than batter. May try again. Wish them well! read more

5 stars for Starbird Chicken! A consistently positive experience from the customer service to the meal itself. The location is bright and nicely decorated, the staff is always kind and hard at work, and the food is always ready in less than 10 minutes. There are indoor and outdoor seating options available. What sets Starbird apart from other fried chicken joints is the taste and the variety of menu items. So far, I've enjoyed the Nashville Hot Chicken, both in sandwich and tender form. Trust me, and ask for "Make it blazin'" style, the extra heat is a flavor-filled delight. The meat is fall-apart tender and the breading is wonderfully crunchy. I'm a fan. Their sides, like fries and slaw, are worth adding on as well -- but be mindful that the portion sizes are generous so you can easily order more than you can eat. I'm eager to try their tacos, tortas, wings, salads, and other items. I'm also interested in the other flavor options like Sweet Thai Glazed. Looking forward to returning again and again. read more

updated: so after not coming here for about a year due to the racist service, I decided to slide through as i had some rewards expiring. yesterday i had order a big star burger and some fries and although the sandwich itself was delicious, the fries were lack luster, limp, and cold like an old man in need of viagra. not only this but i was not given any sauce, so, still very much like an old man in need of viagra, the fries were DRY. today i came back to use my other reward and got myself a salad and some fries. this time around i knew better than to just leave without checking the bag and noticed that the salad looks correct from the top but i still was not given any sauce for the fries. If it's one thing this facility is, it's consistent with missing things in orders. However, i will say this time around, the service workers were nicer and more accommodating. And all in the name of using some rewards. read more

Run! Run to here quickly!!! Do not stop! Just get here now! Starbird chicken is the real deal! Crispy crunchy breading. That by the way is gluten free! Served up in so many amazing ways; tenders, sandwiches, wings and even tacos! And if your a sauce girl like me then Starbird has you! I tried all the sauces my first visit and there really isn't a bad one! The Starbird sauce is great for fries and chicken tenders. It's a white BBQ. Not to mention the delicious ranch I could slather on everything! Plus it's made with Greek yogurt so it's a winner for all! The Thai chicken tenders came with a Spicy herd dipping sauce that was great! A little kick and very herby! Literally anything and everything you will get here is amazing! I have no complaints. Just drool as I write this hahaha. read more

The chicken is the star and that's just the way they like it at Starbird Chicken! Starbird Chicken is a growing group of fast-casual chicken restaurants located throughout the Bay Area, with this location in the Encina Grande Center being their first in the East Bay. The Starbird Chicken concept was developed by the innovators at a group called Culinary Edge, who started experimenting with ways to prepare chicken sandwiches after determining that there were too many local burger places, especially here in the Bay Area. Thankfully, they have yielded fresh locally raised, sustainably farmed, and antibiotic-free poultry sandwiches, salads and nuggets that start by being marinated in the restaurant's signature brine before being fried in rice bran oil which gives their fried chicken what they say is a lighter taste and better overall crunch. And when their chicken patties are placed on their freshly house baked bread rolls, then combined with fresh vegetable toppings and their various special sauces, then you have the makings for one amazing sandwich. I had my eye on this location of Starbird Chicken since they opened this past May, but never got the chance to try it until Yelp had a special promotion there a couple months ago. One of the benefits of ordering at Starbird Chicken is that you can order ahead online, and with this information in hand, the social team at Starbird Chicken will automatically add you to their email list announcing their Starbird Rewards which are promotions/ deals they have to lure you back for future visits. And that's exactly what brought a group of friends and I back for that second visit a mere weeks after I first came. Obviously, I loved the quality dishes that I enjoyed the first time I came to Starbird Chicken, from their sandwiches and sides, they were all made with tender loving care from their hard-working crew behind the scenes. And with a 5 dollar off deal for any purchase that was over 5 total dollars, as long as I made my order before the deal's expiration date, I was on board for a return visit! The menu at Starbird Chicken is broken up into sections such as Sandwiches, Salads, Tacos, Wings, Boneless Wings, Packages & Platters, Sides, Drinks, Treats and their Kid's Menu. I was dying to try their Nashville Hotbird sandwich which was a Nashville Hot Chicken patty topped with classic slaw, dill pickles, Greek Yogurt Ranch, mayonnaise and served on a house baked roll. My friend opted for their Starbird sandwich which was a Crispy Chicken patty, topped with super slaw, avocado, mayonnaise and served on a house baked roll. To pair our meal with an item from their Sides menu, we opted for their Nashville Hot Fries which were their seasoned fries, topped with cheddar cheese, pimento cheese, green onions and drizzled with Greek Yogurt Ranch and Nashville Hot oil drizzle. Starbird Chicken allows you to order in one of four ways on their website for pickup or dine-in, on their app for pickup or dine-in, at one of their kiosks they have at the front of their store, or at their front counter with one of their customer service representatives. I opted for the latter option, not realizing that I couldn't use my discount code in an easily accessible way, luckily one of their representatives knew how to process my 5 dollar discount. For those two sandwiches and shareable fries my total bill was a little over 20 dollars, which I admit, wasn't super cheap even with the discount, but with the quality of food you receive at Starbird Chicken, you will realize it is well worth the price you pay. It doesn't take too long for your food to be ready to be picked up, luckily they have transponders that buzz when your order is ready and they offer you a house-made sauce each for every sandwich ordered, so this time I opted for their Wasabi Aioli and Star Sauce. Each sandwich was lightly battered and fried, which provided the juiciest tasting sandwich that I had, and made for an easily shareable meal alongside the Hot Fries. In terms of drinks, they have soft drinks are sourced locally from Alameda Point Craft Soda Company, which are cane sugar sweetened small batch crafted carbonated beverages with various flavors, they also have fruit drinks ranging from teas to punch that I was able to sample after I requested cups for water and the sodas were a nice touch to an overall nicely composed lunch. But again, it is the chicken that is the star at Starbird as their sandwiches are filled with a lot of fresh and unique ingredients that normally aren't added to the traditional chicken sandwich. Menu items can be changed out from time to time as I noticed online they previously had sandwiches with Korean Fried Chicken and one with a Sweet Thai Chili marinade, so be on the lookout for chicken specialty sandwiches and tenders with different flavors. I am so happy that Starbird Chicken has made inroads in the fast-casual dining scene in the East Bay, may additional locations be on the horizon soon! read more

I've been to Starbirds twice and enjoyed the food both times I went. The food is several steps above most fast-food chicken. Located in a shopping center it is easy to park, they have both inside and outside dining. You can order through an app or at the kiosk inside. My first visit was for a Yelp event. I always go back to a place that hosts Elite Events. This time it was a treat to go back, I really was looking forward to returning because the food is good. They also have a vegan sandwich. I have tried the star bird chicken sandwich I wanted to really taste the chicken and the sandwich basics. I sandwiches are white meat, to me that usually means dry meat. This sandwich wasn't and when I go again I might try a different version. I ordered the Thai chicken tenders on both visits. They were delicious and came with a lot of fries and an amazing slaw with kale, cabbage, carrots, and sesame seeds. One time the tenders were a bit overdone for my taste, it didn't matter that much because they were tasty both times I had them. They offer many different sauces. The soda bar features Alameda Point Craft Sodas and their house-made lemonade. I am looking forward to trying on of the many different types of wings or salads that are on the menu, I don't know if I can pass up the tenders. read more

Had the Garlic Parmesan wings. I couldn't taste any garlic. Slight taste of Parmesan but overall flavorless. The chicken wings they sell are tiny and the chicken quality is very low. Not worth what's being charged. read more

Since my last review, I downloaded the Starbird app. I actually have become quite fond of in-app ordering if restaurants offer it because it makes ordering take-out more convenient. I even get a text from Starbird letting me know when my food is ready. I recently ordered the 4-piece Nashville hot tender box. It comes with slaw and fries but you have the option of substituting for all slaw or all fries. You can also choose which 2 sauces you want. I chose the yogurt ranch and star sauce. The tenders are a good size, nicely fried, crispy, and juicy. I love the Nashville hot seasoning compared to the original tenders because they are much more flavorful. If you want even more spice you can also choose to "make it blazin" but I did not elect for that. There's a nice portion of fries underneath the tenders in the box and a container of slaw. The fries were good but get soggy easily because the tenders are piled on top of them. I liked having some bites of slaw in-between to balance all the fried goodness. Both the sauces were good but the star sauce is the real star. It's like a creamy barbecue flavor, and it goes well with both the tenders and fries. Next time I'll double up on the star sauce! The amount of food is very filling and I couldn't finish in one sitting, but I didn't mind having more to snack on later. I've always had good experiences here, so I'll for sure be back. read more

Been meaning to try this place. Got the gift cards from Costco too. Ordered 2 Starbirds, 1 Cali Bacon sandwiches and 20 wings.
