Wonderful flavor and unbeatable prices in Irvine!…read more Pros: + Great prices + Wonderful entertaining service + Great flavors Cons: - sides are not as good as main dishes but still good A satisfying, delicious meal for under $15? In Irvine? It's true. Bao Chick is run by a super friendly Chinese dude that serves up great portions and flavors, and while the side dishes you get are a little basic (pickles and seaweed salad straight out of a jar) the main dishes are amazing. From chicken to pork chops to dumplings and beyond, the main entrees are made to order and the sauces and seasonings they come with are top notch. Great service, prices and portions make this place a great choice.

"Return to Society, Return to all man-kind" as the menu reads…read more.. Dear Reader and fellow foodie. All you need to know is that this place is number one, chicken sandwich number one, fried chicken number one number one, Chinese fried chicken NUMBER ONE. This chicken is EXCEPTIONALLY crispy on the outside, marinated to PERFECTION, and juicy to the MAX. Try it with the honey mustard, I PROMISE you will be thinking about this place for WEEKS. Generous serving sizes, excellent spice powder and chili sauce to sprinkledrizzle on top, and the owner is AWESOME. Talk to him. Ask for a free sample if he doesn't hand you one, my head was spinning with all the delicious options in this food hall until that moment. I got the original chicken sandwich with a Chinese tea, dr pepper, and mac and cheese. I honestly would've been satisfied with just an order of the chicken wings with honey mustard. The Chinese tea is also very satisfying, milk tea that tastes authentic (had some at the Beijing airport one time). ((Im saving the mac and cheese for breakfast tomorrow, will get back to you soon)). I hope I find myself in this city again soon, I'm going STRAIGHT to Bao Chick. Forever a Changed Woman, Love Ray.

We were looking for catering for my daughter's birthday party and remembered how generous Aloha…read more21's combo portions usually are, so we decided to give their catering a shot. We had about 25 guests and ordered a large beef teriyaki, large chicken katsu, medium chicken teriyaki, and a medium mac salad. The trays were overflowing--there was honestly enough food for 40+ people! Most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious and every single guest loved it. I'll definitely be back for our next event (though I'll probably scale down to medium trays next time because the portions are HUGE). Highly recommend!

Typical experience - order at counter and wait for food. No frills. My family and I got there 15 minutes before breakfast ended. We were able to order and enjoy our food in store. I got the longanisa breakfast sandwich meal. My only regret is I didn't get to try the spicy longanisa breakfast sando. I really liked how it was on a pandesal roll and not a biscuit or muffin like typical breakfast sandwiches. Food was made fresh and took some time. I need Jollibee to bring this to SF, we are ready.

It popped up on my delivery app one random day for lunch and I simply couldn't resist. I ordered a bucket of their mixed fried chicken (spicy and original respectively) And Their famous spaghetti and hot dogs with gravy on the side. When it arrived in all its glory my mouth already began to water in eager anticipation... As I sunk my greedy teeth into the crunchy chicken I was sold! The spicy level was just right and added a pleasant kick to the chicken. It was hot and juicy, just perfection in every way I dipped the chicken pieces in the rich gravy and it made my meal taste like thanksgiving. A Nostalgic and new experience at the same time. I twirled some of the spaghetti hotdog onto my fork and each strand was coursing with sauce and cheese bits. It was the sweetest spaghetti I've ever had and but im not complaining at all! Overall, I was very impressed with my first encounter with Jollibee and I'm an instant fan! Can't wait to come back again and try more their indulgent menu of finger licking good chicken! Happy Eats!

YUM! Rec 2: The kang jung chicken is also super delicious (same sauce as on the spicy cro-sand) and is great with radish or pickled jalepenos. Rec 3: Beer battered fries with parmesan sauce. Enough said. Consistently great quality, clean restaurant, friendly staff. One of my favorites since 2025.

The Original was solid too, especially since we could pair it with different dipping sauces. Everything is made to order, but waiting around 20 minutes for fried chicken felt a little long. We also got the potato wedges and onion rings. We weren't told the wedges were already included with the whole chicken offer, and unfortunately the onion rings were pretty dry. Service was friendly and the atmosphere is casual. I'd definitely come back since the chicken was good, but I'd probably try some different sides next time.

Honestly VERY disappointing experience. Someone else grabbed my order who had the same name,…read morecashier didn't check the order or verify, the guy opened all the boxes of my food, and then handed it back after I told the employee it was mine. I'm sorry but isn't there a practice to be checking names or receipts before handing people someone else's food? Or if someone has the same name don't you think it might be a good idea to make sure they get the right order? Also...once it's been opened by someone else, it should've been replaced! And the food itself? Glorified school lunch. Heavy, greasy, overpriced, and tastes like Sysco slop. Definitely not worth it.

This is my first try of Dave's hot chicken. It was really good, particularly for fast food…read more I ordered the #3 menu, which is 1 chicken slider and 1 tender with fries. I was wondering why they called it a slider rather than a sandwich and I think I understood when I got the order. The chicken slider is a little smaller than a chicken sandwich elsewhere -- but not tiny, and certainly larger than a standard beef slider. The tender, on the other hand, was much bigger than I expected. The chicken on the slider and the tender was cooked really well. It's made to order, so when you pick it up, it's piping hot. The crust is very crispy and the meat very tender and juicy. I ordered them as medium spicy and it was just right for me. Not very spicy at all, but you can definitely taste a little bit. Some people might want more and might consider this more of a mild. If you want noticable kick you should order more than medium. The fries were pretty good, and while I normally don't really like pickles in my burgers, it worked really well with the fried chicken. I'm definitely coming back.

We ended up sharing a random conversation, and her kindness, positivity, and outlook on life genuinely lifted my spirits. She has one of those personalities that makes people feel welcome, and I left the drive-thru smiling. The world could definitely use more Lucias! As always, my order was perfect. If you haven't tried it, my favorite is a grilled cheese with no spread, served in a box. Most people don't even realize In-N-Out will make a grilled cheese, but they do! Just order a Number 1 with no meat. It's simple, delicious, and they always get it right. Great food is expected at In-N-Out, but great people are what make an experience memorable. Thank you, Lucia, for making my day a little brighter!
