I was a little worried about the hit or miss reviews, but I genuinely enjoyed my food here Parking was fine for me on a Saturday 12:15pm. There were a few other people in the shop as well but it wasn't overly busy. The menu is fairly simple, which I appreciate. There is a self-order kiosk which worked flawlessly. The spicy levels are a little bit less spicy than expected. The chicken was pretty good, but it is white meat instead of dark meat. Overall, I think this spot is fairly solid and Inwould come back. (I definitely dodnt finish my meal in one sitting). read more

the inside has somewhat of a cleaning smell, but i don't expect much from late night spots. the floor was sticky. the chicken sandwich was actually quite good. the macaroni and cheese was slightly overcooked, but very cheesy! i also like their fries. their tables don't seem to be really cleaned, and it's a little run-down, but it's not a place i would count out for a late night snack. everytime i come here, it takes at least twenty minutes for my food to get out though. read more

We came here late night for a quick dinner. It was a small place with a few tables for quick service. I was a little disappointed with the heat of the chicken since I was expecting it to be spicy with the good kick! We ordered the medium slider and hot tender. The size of the chickens were very good and juicy but I felt like it was missing the heat. I felt like they forgot the spicy flavor overall accidentally. I was expecting the big kick like other hot chicken places. It came with honey packets that elevated the flavor a little bit more. We ordered the Mac n cheese on the side but wish it had more flavor to it. I'm willing to try it again but hoping it has more heat. read more

The trouble with trusting "influencers" is they tend to make things seem better than they really are because they want to make their own stuff seem worthwhile. That's what happened to me here. I got the number 4 - chicken on mac n cheese on fries. First the good: It's a generous serving size and the staff was nice. The rest is bad. The place is not easy to find, but many of the best hole-in-the-wall places are like that, so I will NOT hold that against them. Sodas are listed as $3.25 for a bottle, but I was charged $4.50. I didn't argue about it, so not sure if it's a price increase or was a mistake. None-the-less, either overcharged or over-priced. I paid ~$22 for my one food item and my soda including tax. The food was the big disappointment. The fries and the mac n cheese were completely flavorless. You wouldn't even know you were eating fries and mac n cheese if you couldn't see them. The chicken itself was mediocre at best. I got the medium heat. It was pretty mild. On that I get it. You don't want to scare people away with the spice level. I wouldn't eat here again, but if I did, I would get the next spice level up. It had a great level of crispness to it, so that's actually another positive. Again though, almost completely flavorless. Then, perhaps to try to mask the lack of flavor, they coat it all in their "secret sauce" which is really just a thousand island type aioli. I ended up throwing about half of my plate away. read more

The person working was super nice, place is open late, and the place has a student discount I don't have any photos, but the lack of seasoning was very apparent. We got hot and I usually have a bad spice tolerance, it was not even remotely spicy. The chicken was dry and did not leave a pleasant aftertaste in my mouth. The fries, were at most alright. Probably wouldn't come back respectfully. read more

The kiosk wasn't available so we placed the order with the lady cashier. There was no receipt when order was placed. I had to ask for it. The lady says it cannot print receipts. She showed me her monitor screen of the total charge and asked I take a screenshot of it. From the screen, It says no printer is connected. This is very interesting! Does this mean they have not been giving out order receipts from the register?! Now comes the fun part. From the screenshot of the receipt, there is a $4.80 tips of the $21+ order. I don't mind giving a tip on a to-go order. However, how can you automatically add a tip without customer's consent?! The lady says that's how her boss sets up. This is very shady. This is not the way to do business. I requested to get the tips back. The lady says she would need to call her boss. I told her I would like to talk to her boss so please call. She then went to the back and came back to open the register and gave back my money. I know business is tough these days but a business got to have honesty and transparency. The hot chicken I got was just heavy coded paprika or Cheyanne pepper powder. There was no flavor of the chicken. read more

Unfortunately this missed the mark. We went by for lunch on a Saturday and got two Combo #3's. The space is not too big. You order at the front and pick up your order at the counter when it's ready. There were two other parties there when we arrived. We waited around 10-15 minutes for two orders. The cashier was nice. The Combo #3 is a slider and a tender with fries. I found the batter to be quite greasy and falling off. I ended up peeling a lot of it since it kept coming apart. The flavor was nonexistent. It needed more salt, spices, anything at all. The food looked red but it wasn't spicy, not even a kick. We got the Extra Hot level. The fries were good. They're crinkle-cut. We dipped them in a sweet, mayo-based orange sauce. Overall, I wouldn't come here again. read more

This is my favorite fast food spot!! My boyfriend and I ordered the Fries combo #4 (2 Chopped Jumbo chicken loaded Fries with Mac n cheese) It comes with coleslaw but we asked for no coleslaw. The chicken is DELICIOUS. It's not dry, freshly made and the crust is crunchy and spicy and tasty at the same time. Paired with the creamy cheesy Mac n cheese made with penne pasta. ((((They used to use macaroni but I honestly HATED How it tasted before they switched it to Penne and now I love it))) And the fries are seasoned well so the combination of all the flavors is amazing!! I don't have any complaints. We have ordered pickup from doordash from here for almost a year, and have spent alot of $$$ ordering from here but NO REGRETS Side note to Owner: PLEASE KEEP THE PENNE PASTA NO MACARONI read more

I went to this place here to eat because I was craving a chicken sandwich & was about to watch the 3hr, Avatar: The Way of the Water. I can here to get filled. I did. The service there is really quick & asked me about my spice level. It's a small place, about three tables with four seats each. It a clean place. It also has plenty of parking & easy to get in. The food itself is really hearty, it was a nice touch they gave ketchup & chicken sauce. In the bag, a fork & napkin, too! I did say I was sitting down to eat. I had the sandwich cold later in the day& it definitely lost it "hot" . Turning to a mild, it was delicious & chicken was still crunchy. I would recommend. I would go back again. read more

The Angry Hot Chicken - Combo #3 - Chicken Shop Near Me - San Jose, California

- went to the plaza to get 7leaves and wanted something nearby, so we stopped by here to pick up dinner too - wait time after ordering was ~20 minutes with no line, but it seems they only have 2 people in the kitchen, and they fry to order so at least the chicken was fresh!! - service was also super sweet, the cashier asked us how we liked the food and offered us water to wash it down - they offer 4 combos to choose from, and you can customize how hot you want it. you can also order additional sides - combo #4 (4.5/5): hot fried chicken with some sauce on top of mac n cheese and fries. comes with coleslaw, pickles, and another sauce. portions are HUGE, this was easily two meals. the chicken was pretty good, it was flavorful and not dry. the mac n cheese was fine, reminded me a little of what you get out of a box, but the noodles were really thin. fries were not bad, not super crispy, but not dry either. - a good place to stop by if you're craving fried/drunchies-type food, and the meal is definitely worth the price read more

The Angry Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - San Jose, California

Hot fried chicken sandwiches places are popping up all over the Bay Area, and The Angry Hot Chicken is one of the newest spots to open in the South Bay. Their menu consists of 4 combos, with different variations of tenders and/or sliders, or angry fries. 5 heat levels are available, ranging from No Heat to Reaper, and their chicken is Halal. Sides consist of: Mac & Cheese, Cole Slaw, or Fries, and Drinks consist of: Soda, Bottle Water, or Mineral Water. You can only order tender(s) and slider(s) a la carte if you purchase a combo meal first. I came during their Grand Opening week- it seemed like online orders were up and running, but they weren't taking phone orders at the time (it was just a perpetual busy tone if you called in). They weren't busy yet at 4:15pm on a Sunday, and it was less than a 10 minute wait for the order I placed in person. I tried their Combo#3 (1 Tender + 1 Slider w/Fries, $13.99, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pM3ci562l5bR52Qn3oFwSQ&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg, https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=xXdb0sgLNj0q6PgWEJz00g&userid=76vIFZcC7owykCBjMfGVXg), which was good, but not great. I ordered my sandwich with the spice level of Hot, and there was barely any heat. The bun was soft and fluffy, and I liked the cole slaw and crisp on the chicken; however, the chicken was slightly dry inside. The crispy fries were also good, but they needed more seasoning, and wasn't quite fluffy enough on the interior. I'm sure they'll continue working on improving their fried chicken, and heat levels, and I'll have to come back when in the area for more hot fried chicken. Their staff seemed really nice and sweet, and I wish them the best of luck! Only indoor seating was available, and I did not see hand sanitizer. Parking in the lot was easy to find at the time I stopped by; however, this plaza can get really busy during the weekend rushes. read more

Another great spot for fried chicken sandwiches! The chicken is juicy and tender on the inside and extremely crispy on the outside. The slaw & pickles complement the sandwich well and balance out the heat of the chicken. I think the only thing is the levels of spice are off in my opinion. We got "hot&hot" and expected a spicier sandwich. The two levels above were extra spicy and reaper so we assumed they would be a lot. Next time, we will order a spice level up. It wasn't very busy when we came in and it took 15mins to get our food. Parking lot for the complex seemed to also be pretty open on a weekday evening as well. I would def recommend :) read more

The Angry Hot Chicken - Combo #2 - Chicken Shop Near Me - San Jose, California

I was sooo excited to see a hot chicken sandwich place open nearby me as there aren't many in this area (yet)! Parking was easy enough - it's in the same plaza as 7leaves so it can be a little crowded but I've never had a problem with finding a spot yet. Their menu is simple and we grabbed the combo with 2 sliders and fries - average price and similar to other chicken sandwich places. While the sliders look huge, I think the bread to chicken ratio is a bit off as I felt like the buns are quite big compared to the chicken piece. I personally was not a fan of the taste (chicken seasoning was lacking and the bread had an overpowering taste) but my partner was able to finish his sandwich although it was not his favorite. Fries were also not that crispy sadly! The lady helping us at the front was very nice though. I hope that I can visit again someday and see improvements or perhaps try something else on the menu. read more

Hot My Cup of Tea Newish Nashville Hot Chicken spot located in North SJ's Berryessa Center that promises customers "the best hot chicken in San José." We arrived to try it out, and it was quite an interesting experience... The Good: *Chicken was fried up fresh and crispy *Staff was nice *Chicken pieces were quite large for the price, so good value. *Chicken is Halal The Meh: *Ordered the "Hot-Hot" spice level, which is their middle of the road spiciness, and it didn't even qualify as mild in my book. I mean, I wasn't expecting it to blow my socks off, but at least make my taste buds tingle. *The chicken and the batter both are crying for seasoning and spices. The batter literally tasted like batter: flour and water; I couldn't detect much other than that. I ended up scraping the batter off and just eating the chicken by itself. *Terrible street visibility, as you can't see them from just casually passing by. The Ugly: *We walked in a little after noon and didn't walk out with our food until close to 12:50. Mind you, we only ordered chicken tenders and nothing else. So, it's not like we're being complicated. It took almost 5min before we were acknowledged; once we were acknowledged, it turned out there was an issue with the POS so that took another 5+min to figure out; she got the register going but then we couldn't use cc but luckily we had cash; we then placed our order and it took another 25min to get our food which is a bit audacious, considering we were the only people in the store. TLDR: Mediocre chicken that ain't in no hurry to get to you. Soft pass, but I wish them luck. read more

Wanted to try this place because it was a new chicken sandwich spot that's close by to me. There's a large parking lot and several tables inside. Upon entering, the workers were in the back but there's a bell you can ring to let them know you're inside and ready to order. The service was nice here, seems like there are not a lot of workers so I'm not sure how quickly food is served during a lunch rush. But I came for a late lunch and we ordered/received our food in 15 min. We ordered combo #2 which comes with 2 sandwiches and fries, and added on another slider. I'm not sure if our add on was made incorrectly because it looks like we got a tender meal. The sandwich itself was quite good. I was skeptical because there were multiple reviews saying how it's soggy and has no flavor, but I thought the seasoning on the chicken was good, and it was crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. My only complaint about the sandwich is that the chicken isn't flattened to fill out the bread, so I had a lot of bites of just bread. I also think the fries were bland but it wasn't a huge deal as I came here to try sandwiches. Overall, I thought this place was all right. It's close to me and definitely fulfills the craving for a fried chicken sandwich craving with good flavor at a good price. read more

I freaking love fried chicken but this place was less than mediocre. Don't even get me started on the Mac n cheese. I swear they used the microwave to make this pre-made Mac n cheese from a supermarket or something because I literally saw them throw something into a microwave. Nothing had flavor to it. The Mac n cheese was not cheesy at all and needed some salt and pepper. It tasted like plain noodles. The chicken sandwich had coleslaw on it (normal) but the sandwich didn't taste like much either. I will give them a star for how moist the chicken is. I wouldn't go back unless they changed the way they seasoned/made their Mac n cheese and chicken... read more

TLDR -food tasted fine, nothing special. Ordering for catering is SUCH A PAIN. Was misquoted at initial order, had my ordered cancelled, re-ordered, still ended up being charged the wrong price. Highly unorganized and unprofessional. Communication between the owner and workers seems to be at a disconnect. I reached out to the business for a quote for their catering. I was quoted $6 a sandwich. When I ordered total cost came out to be $10 a sandwich. I reached out to the owner and was told that their Yelp prices were not up to date, although it was a message from the business that misquoted me. Not sure how Yelp has to do with it. I told the owner I am going to be going with another chicken sandwich business in SJ that charges $7 per sandwich + sides, and to cancel the order. He told me he can match the misquoted price if I pay cash + get one half side. I agreed, cash. Confirmed order was NOT cancelled and confirmed pick up time and date. These messages were all WITHIN THE SAME HOUR. The day of our event comes, I received 3 text messages, 2 reminders/confirming the order, 1 text stating my order is ready to be picked up. My friend goes to pick up the order, and the workers are saying it was cancelled so they didn't make it. I text the owner and he noted that the workers don't understand and they will remake the order now. Now they have to wait for 20 chicken sandwiches to be made... 30 mins AFTER my pick up time. The owner confirmed I will be paying CASH via text which I confirmed cash. The workers made my friend pay using the self checks out kiosk with CARD and paid the FULL PRICE lol. Really such a bad experience. read more

Combo 2 with the two sliders & fries was good! I had to get it two days in a row. I'd probably suggest ordering your food for pick up as it takes quite a while. There was only one customer when I came and it's now been almost 15 minutes as I stand here writing my review. Edit: Fries are inconsistent. Yesterday, they were thicker cut and today, they were the skinny fries. read more

I went to the plaza for an errand and discovered this shop. Surprising, given that it's been around for a few months. Given that it's a Nashville hot chicken place, I had to try it. A brief scroll through Yelp reviews gave me some idea what to expect. The highlight of the day is the fries combo (#4). It is LOADED. It has two chicken tenders, fries, mac, and cheese in one package. As others have commented, the food portions are huge for the price paid. I could not finish this in one sitting. As to the heat, I got it extra hot but don't worry, it's not that spicy. It's extra hot is not as spicy as that of Dave's and especially not Angry Chickz. That's not a problem in general as it means it's more accessible to people, but that means I'm intrigued to try the Reaper in the future. One thing that would make this place better is if they had TVs playing sports--I think it would help the place draw in a larger crowd, at least on the weekdays. The plaza usually does not receive much foot traffic (outside of 7Leaves) during that time. One thing I found interesting is the place is open past midnight on the weekends. That stands out given how few places in the surrounding area do that! read more

The Angry Hot Chicken - Combo #4: Two Tenders over a bed of fries with mac and cheese! - Chicken Shop Near Me - San Jose, California

I ordered combo #1 for take out. When I opened my order it smelled a little sour. As a hot chicken fanatic, I thought this was odd. It was my first time visiting The Angry Hot Chicken so I thought I would try it anyway. The first tender was sour and did not have a pleasing taste. As I started to eat it after receiving my order, it was still very hot. I picked apart the second tender to find that the chicken was rancid from the inside. I explained to the cashier of my concern and she tried to play it off like it was part of the breading. She asked what I wanted and I requested a refund. I feel like that is not sufficient because the first tender made me feel sick and uneasy about my health as the day goes on. read more

Decent for soft opening in September 2022. The freshness and quality were compelling enough the wait time and quantity of fries. Combo 1 - Not as spicy as expected. Only gave 6 strands of fries. I don't typically count fries but darn, when there are fewer fries than how many years old my dog is... Combo 4 - Fried chicken that tasted fresh. Slightly oxymoronic but it works here. Wait time was over 20 minutes and there were only two people working. They were nice. Hopefully the wait time has improved since then. read more

Aside from order taking too long I enjoyed the my double sandwiches with great slaw and pickle turn out. Would try again

This place is very similar to Dave's Hot Chicken as they both have nearly identical menus. I prefer this place over Dave's. I got the combo #5 which is a chicken slider and some fries. I ordered the chicken as hot hot spice level. It's a bit unfortunate that they serve chicken tenders only. The piece in the sandwich wasn't really that big, so maybe 1/4th of the sandwich had no chicken. Looking at past photos, the chicken looked a lot bigger and had better coverage. The hot hot spice wasn't too bad, I could feel it but I wasn't begging for water. Overall taste of the sandwich was pretty good. Buns looked a bit defeated. Kind of like the cheapest burger buns you can find at a bargain grocery store. Coleslaw was good, kind of similar to KFC's. Chicken was crispy, crunchy, flavorful, and relatively juicy. Fries were just okay. It wasn't seasoned with salt so it was bland. read more

After I did a quick errand, I decided to come here and order lunch. I ordered combo #2 for to go. They had just opened for the day and I was the only one there. As you can see from my pics, the top buns of both sliders were burnt. The inside of the bun were not toasted. There were only 1 chicken tender per slider and it was only big enough to cover half the bun. With each bite I took, the bread pretty much disintegrate onto my hands. As for the fries, they were cold. I wonder if they had cooked the fries first and then cooked the sliders? The chicken did have good flavor but it wasn't enough to save the whole experience. read more

Just opened two weeks ago serving the best Nashville hot chicken tenders and they look mighty delicious came by this morning and I order no heat level combo #4 price at $14.99 comprised of two chopped chicken tenders with fries, macaroni cheese and cold slaw mixed with slices of pickles on the side. Currently they don't offer smoothies at this time just sodas. Prices are very reasonable and with generous portion size. You can dine-in or out only one seat and table is a available. The lady that runs this place was super nice and friendly and I remember this used to be the Kebab Guys serving the best Middle Eastern meals which closed its doors a year ago. The only downside is the parking fills up very quickly worst on the weekends. read more

Doesn't look like much when you drive by it since it's kind of tucked away in this parking lot, although my coworkers heard about it and it's down the street from my house so we decided to check it out. I will say, it's a very straight forward menu which I appreciate, and the service was on the slower side but certainly well meaning. I got the #2 combo and added another slider which is as big as a chik fil a sandwich if not bigger for only $6.49. My total was around $25 for three sliders/sandwiches, fries and a water and the food tasted great, and fed 3 people! Such a great deal! I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a good bite to eat for good value. The only thing I would say is make sure you have time when you stop by since they aren't the fastest and double check your order since they accidentally added an extra 2 sliders instead of one. For spicy fans: order at least the Extra Hot, the perfect hot was not that spicy and I eat a lot of spicy food so I'd recommend that. The reaper is just for marketing but it does have a kick! read more

Rebranded to Fiery Chickz. Student discount was cool, ordered via Kiosk. Got Combo #1 - Hot which took a surprisingly long 15-20 minutes to come out with only one other customer inside. Dry, dry rub chicken was bland, had a curry taste? It was a little tough too. A prior review about the chicken being slightly green is right, maybe it's the way they prepare it.
