    Truffle fries
    Richard W.

    Love the chicken shop - it's a little annoying how there's no posted menu so you have to wait the line to find out what's offered if you haven't been here before. Fortunately, it's a short menu so you don't have to take too much time deciding. There's some really solid high quality eats here. I love the sweet potato and beet side - you don't see this often but it's a great healthier alternative to regular fries. That said, I've also tried the truffle fries and they are quite the guilty pleasure. Newport Bowl Your choice of charcoal chicken or mushroom, pickled onions, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, beets, avocado, crispy pita and fresh green chickpeas over mixed greens. Delicious all the way around to the last bite. The Char'd Bowl Equally amazing with the additional crunch from the crispy seasoned chickpeas. You just can't go wrong. Reasonable pricing and orders don't take too long. Definitely worth a return trip. That's all.

    I get the Bowl Bowl and it hits every time. Make sure you get it with the sumac and pomegranate vinaigrette though. Also, try to order online ahead of time because it gets busy and the wait can be long. Definitely worth the hype!

    This savory chicken spot is an Australian chain that serves juicy chicken in wraps, bowls, and plates. They also have mushrooms as a substitute for the non-meat eaters. The kombuchas are also excellent, especially the pear one. There is indoor seating, but there's also a long stretch of patio tables shared by all the other restaurants in this shopping area.

    My bowl bowl!! delicious

    I had the bowl bowl yesterday for lunch with double chicken. It was delicious. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. High quality ingredients and i felt good after eating such a delicious and healthy bowl.

    Stopped by to grab the chimichurri wrap. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointed this time it was on the dry side. Luckily, I asked for a side of yogurt sauce, which helped add more flavor. I went during lunch, so it was busy and there was as short wait for the food. The wrap was cut in half, and it was only able to eat one half, which. made it nice to have he rest for dinner later. Hopefully it'll be more moist the next time I come back.

    Amazing chicken and flavor! I've seen this place pop up quite a few times online but never realized the location. I got to finally try it for the first time and I will definitely be back! I ordered The Bowl Bowl which had sweet potatoes, avocado and roasted jalapenos. The chicken was seasoned and cooked so fresh. You can even see them grilling the chicken behind the counter. I got the chili garlic sauce on the side which was essentially their garlic sauce and a chili sauce combined in the same dish. Great flavor, but I would ordered just the garlic sauce next time because this was amazing! There is some searing inside plenty outside as well. The cold beer vault has a very wide selection of beers. I also found it interesting they make their own in house bone broth for purchase!

    I recently discovered this restaurant after years of visiting Newport and it's cemented itself as a must-stop. The chicken - juicy, flavorful, amazing. The salads - just as incredible . The fries - tbh some of the best fries I've ever had. The sauces and wraps were great as well. I don't think you can go wrong here

    Certified GAS. Saw this place and its rotisserie method onna tiktok and was immediately hooked. Walked into a small urban-looking brick n mortar restaurant that smelled like straight garlic (already a good sign) My gf and I got the OG and Chimichurri wrap. The wrap itself was so crispy and held the ingredients together so well I could devour fat bites without makin a mess. And devour that shit I did, for it was some of the most succulent, juicy, chicken and toppings I've had in the area. And you know we were hittin it with that extra sauce. Chili garlic and Yogurt Harissa are must tries. Even taking the leftovers home and airfrying it locked in the flavors. Idk where else you can find it but they also had these fire, low calories, all natural United Sodas. Bonus points Service was polite and over-the-counter. A little long for my observations but hey man greatness takes a lil patience. Hope to be back soon. That chicken is more addicting than Los Polos Hermanos

    The Char'd Bowl

    Went here after a 10.5 mile walk because we wanted something healthy and protein packed! We were pleasantly surprised because the food was delish, made fresh, and all the ingredients are natural, and a total plus that they are seed oil free! Inside, it is clean, stylish, and overall a great place to come. There are also many outdoor tables which is where we sat because it was such a nice day. The employees were nice, and overall we LOVED this place. We will definitely be back, if you are in newps and want a new, healthy and delicious place to call your go-to spot; the chicken shop is it! 10/10!

    This is my first time at the Chicken Shop. It is located in a strip mall at the corner of Irvine Ave and Westcliff in Newport Beach next to the Ralph's supermarket. There is plenty of parking and the access is easy. The Chicken shop is a casual Lebanese/Australian restaurant that specializes in Mediterranean style rotisserie chicken. The menu is short but on point. It includes Chicken à la carte, (Whole, half etc...) wraps, bowls and a variety of sides. The chicken is roasted over charcoal and is antibiotic free and the kitchen is 100% seed oil free. All their bowls and wraps can be made vegan by getting mushrooms instead of chicken. I got the Bowl Bowl with mushrooms. All the ingredients were really fresh and everything was delicious. It comes with a raspberry vinaigrette which i tried but i feel it was unnecessary as the dish was well seasoned and tasty as is. And my buddy Mike who is a regular there and who treated me to lunch, got the newport bowl with chicken. They have a refrigerator with grab and go beverages as well as a small section with various snacks. There is limited seating inside the restaurant as most of the seating is in an outdoor communal type setting shared with other restaurants. The service is excellent and prices are average. I highly recommend trying the Chicken Shop.

    OG Wrap  A pretty beach sunset couldn't even help the bland dryness...no pickles or sauce :(
    D L.

    Ordered the OG Wrap and it was immensely dry. I sad I paid $16 for an underwhelming wrap because it barely had any toum and it also had no pickles inside. So ..... I was just eating fries and dry chicken. Don't know if I'd come here again. Service was whatever.

    Mandro E.

    Solid chicken wrap, got the OG wrap. I asked them to go easy on the garlic sauce, which was a good idea. Service was and good ambience nothing too fancy, as expected. Will come back to try just the chicken next time.

    $23 for a healthy chicken salad with seasoned fries I was able to make this into THREE meals by eating part of it, coming home, and adding more veggies! This salad comes with half an avocado, cooked beets, large pieces of chicken, pickled onions, garbanzo? Beans, sliced cherry tomatoes, corn, and a side of thin crunchy pita chips. There wasn't anything boring in it and I felt very healthy, yet satiated eating it. The pomegranate vinaigrette they use is tangy, but not overly sweet. Chicken pieces wasn't super moist, but it was moist. The shop is a little far from me to get to, but to know I can have 3 meals from one dish makes it worth it. Place smells incredible when you enter, and I like how they sell seasoned salts and kitchen stuff for the cook in your life. I placed my order 20m before closing and they still were able to make it. Fries weren't crispy after being in the Togo box, but they get crispy in the air fryer. Fries come with a sauce! I got harissa yogurt. Not too spicy.

    Ask the Community - The Chicken Shop

    Do you use seed oil to marinate or cook your meat?

    We are a 100% seed oil free kitchen.

    Is your chicken hand slaughtered halal?

    Nah

    Do you serve beer on tap or in bottle?

    We have 40-50 craft beers in our fridge. 🙂

    Is the menu halal?

    Our chicken is not currently certified halal.

    Is it possible to get a bone free wrap? I see it says may contain bones on the wrap.

    The “Bones may remain” on the menu is precautionary. All our chicken is cooked whole over charcoal and pulled to order so we have that there to allow for human error. It close to never happens.

Before you visit, keep these things in mind: 1. This is a ghost kitchen, not a full-service restaurant. It's best for takeout and delivery. There are only a few chairs outside--just four in total. 2. Ordering is entirely self-service via a digital kiosk, with no staff on hand to assist you. 3. There are no bathrooms available anywhere on-site. Regarding the food, it was just okay-- a bit underwhelming, especially given that Lebanese cuisine is typically so flavorful. The chicken was dry, the hummus lacked depth, and the rice was bland. That said, the fattoush salad, one of my favorites, was very good, with a delicious dressing. Overall, I can't say I'd return. The prices were quite high for the portions, and the quality didn't meet my expectations. If you're looking for a quick Lebanese meal, this place is a decent option, but don't expect much more than that.

It honestly felt like the plate was mostly rice rather than a chicken shawarma plate. As well the pita bread does not seem freshly made but packaged taken out of a bag from a market. The hummus and tzatziki were also very watery and lacked the texture I expected. I tried the cucumber refresher as well, which was okay, but it had a noticeable tap-water taste that made it less enjoyable. What bothered me most was the service. When our server asked if everything was okay, I politely mentioned that there was very little chicken on my plate. Instead of acknowledging my concern, offering an explanation, or trying to make it right, he simply walked away. Why ask how everything is if you're going to ignore the answer? Unfortunately, I left feeling like I basically paid for a plate of rice. I was full, but mostly because of the mountain of rice, not because I received a satisfying chicken shawarma meal. Between the portions, watery sauces, and dismissive service, this was a disappointing experience.
