We recently came here for lunch with our pup - they have a patio that is heated on chilly days! What we got: *Sopa Verde (soup) *Inca Burrito with Chicken and Corn Salad *Half Chicken with Cilantro Rice and Plantains Everything was SO flavorful! Sauces were not needed, but we did enjoy the yellow AJI mild sauce and the green Huacatay medium sauce, which were also flavorful. Service was great - warm and welcoming! While we aren't exactly near the multiple Viva Chickens in the Charlotte area, we will have to make it a point to come back soon to try more of the menu. read more

Amazing service and the food is always consistently good. Strolled in on a Monday night after sitting and scrolling for something for dinner. We have not had Viva in a while so I popped in. Kyle was patient and kind as he took my long order. Thanks for dinner guys read more

It's been a while since I've had Viva. My meal today did not disappoint. I truly enjoyed everything I had for lunch! Yummers! read more

Food is good, but do to the service I had today around 12/12:30. The two girls upfront had extremely nasty attitudes, even when I tried to "correct" my mistake by reordering she raised her voice and gave me attitude followed by the girl next to her. I tried to explain it to them in English and Spanish and they felt so entitled they told me in Spanish I was wrong. Definitely not worth it at all. read more

The atmosphere was great with amazing food. The restaurant was really clean even in the restrooms. The menus had many great options for anyone and they also serve juiced which you can see on the counter of the register. All in all pretty good place to take people for Peruvian food. read more

Tried the steak burrito just to vary it up vs the steak saltado. Not impressed. 1st the smell was off putting. The best I could compare it to is dog food. 2nd the steak esp since it's sirloin should be medium rare. It was very well done. Dry even with all the queso doesn't begin to cover it. 3rd the staff the girl at the cashier could hardly hear her so glad I know the menu. The staff overall was overwhelmed from cleaning a mess at the soda dispenser to making sure there was silverware available. There was an abundance of spoons and knives but never any forks. They were great about giving us plastic silverware. This location seems to struggle a bit vs Elizabeth, Ballantyne and Park Rd when it becomes busy. Likely cause it seems to be more younger staff. read more

Viva Chicken - Steak Burrito - Peruvian Near Me - Indian Land, South Carolina

I have been to this location multiple times. The service is outstanding! The place is clean and I noticed staff always checking to make sure the dining area is clean. The food is consistently very good and the price is reasonable. I have several favorites at this restaurant. Taco bowl, chicken soup, and rotisserie chicken to name a few. They use fresh ingredients and you will not be disappointed! read more

I had a family member recommend their Sopa De Pollo so I stopped in today to give it at try. It would say it was 'OK'. The chicken was dark meat. It was loaded with onions. The broth really didn't have that much flavor. I'm comparing to what they have at El Molcajete in Rock Hill. read more

Viva Chicken - Sopa De Pollo - Peruvian Near Me - Indian Land, South Carolina

Ive eaten at the location in Indian Land two dozen times and i usually get the stuffed avocado, but substitute rice for the quinoa. Today for some reason i was told they'd have to charge me for a side of rice. When i explained they've always substituted at no charge, i was told no, per the manager. So we walked across the parking lot to Super Chix. Great chicken sandwich by the way. Very disappointed in management at this location. I guess ill drive a little further to the Waverley location. Tons of restaurants to choose from and customer service and satisfaction is typically one of the most important factors on earning repeat customers. Today's experience was disappointing!!! read more

Viva Chicken - Super Chix. - Peruvian Near Me - Indian Land, South Carolina

Fresh but flavorful, light but filling, refreshing and delicious. Viva chicken is my go-to stop for a healthy, filling meal. Good atmosphere to come and eat on alone, with friends, or with the whole family. The menu has everything from soups and salads fl wraps and bowls. You can't go wrong with anything, but a must-try is the quinoa stuffed avocado salad - a whole or half avocado stuffed with quinoa and chicken (if you add chicken) drizzled with aioli and a balsamic dressing. Simple, yet full of flavor. Healthy, but filling. It's all you need and want - good for the body and soul. If you're feeling sweet, be sure to try the tres leches. Very authentic and creamy. The best tres leches I've had is right here at Viva chicken. read more

The food is super super good! The chicken is extremely well done, rice is fluffy and full of flavor, food is served hot, overall an amazing experience. The sauce gives so much depth and flavor to the food as well! The passion fruit juice is to die for!! The service is excellent. Everyone is so sweet and nice here! Lucy especially is super sweet she was so cooperative and helpful with explaining the menu and overall gave us an amazing experience! The place is super clean and tidy and I will definitely be coming back! read more

Listen before I can take a snapshot of the chicken it was gone... that's how good it was. Tasty, flavorful and juicy describes what I had. The sauce on the side ties it all together. Greedy me wanted another piece of chicken when I was all done. I'm going to have to make a special trip back here just for that!! Service was kind of slow but that's to be expected when food is cooked to order and the restaurant was nice and open and very tidy! read more

Savory, mouthwatering and delicious. Have you smelled their fried rice? We always get the rotisserie chicken. You can pick a whole chicken meal with three sides. There's both white and dark meat. Everything is seasoned really well. There's also three dipping sauces they offer. Red, yellow and green. The green is spicy but you're bound to like one of the three at least. I usually get all three. read more

Great service, Good food, Kyle is an amazing employee! and Yuka was good I LOVE CHICKEN

Visited twice while in Charlotte. A great place for groups and when ordering for the entire family. Ordered a whole chicken which comes with 3 large sides. There are many options to chose from but we agreed on green beans, cilantro rice and sweet plantains. There are also some great sauces available - a green cilantro like and yellow Dijon mustard style. There is enough food for leftovers for a group of three or less. Chicken was tender and juicy, green beans had good flavor and the plantains were also on point ! read more

We have been a frequent customer of this Viva Chicken. The food has always been just ok - chicken is cold, rice is cold, soup broth is way too salty, green beans are burnt. However we have continued to order here due to convenience since it's so close to home and easy mobile ordering. However after multiple orders where we received the wrong things I will have to stop coming here. I called and complained. They were not very nice about it. First they asked me to come back to get the right thing without even an apology. I said no since I was already home and they said I would get a refund but nope they never gave a refund. Will now be opening a formal complaint and dispute since this is bad business practice. If you promise a refund to your customer, you should go through with it. Makes me question the number of times they gave me wrong orders and claimed to refund to my credit card. read more

Picked up two tacu bowls with pulled chicken for dinner. There was literally a sprinkle of chicken on both of them. Maybe 2oz. You're given a choice of two sauces on the side, charged for anymore. The sauces were barely half full. It was not busy when I picked up, so I'm assuming this is the norm. Disappointed & left hungry tonight. read more

We have eaten at other Viva Chicken restaurants and glad this came to Redstone plaza. The chicken is always juicy and tender. We enjoy the chicken soup filled with shredded chicken, rice, red bell peppers, onions and scallions. Very tasty not overly spicy. One orders at the counter, gets a number waiting to be called to pick up their order. There are plenty of sides to choose from including, soup, salad, quinoa, yucca, fresh fruit etc. Besides dinners there are sandwiches, wraps, variety of salads , desserts and a kids menu. The famous Peruvian hormone free chicken is marinated and then roasted with spices. Food plated nicely, came out hot, reasonable prices and yes tasty and not overly salty. Sauces on the counter to use for your chicken or your sides. We enjoyed our meal and will return again. read more

I always love viva chicken. This one has been consistently great! The manager, Quincy, has been super helpful with my catering orders.

Food - decent flavors. Vegetarian options Service - not good. Cashier takes your order and you are on your own. Get your drink. Get your food. Even get your napkins and silverware. read more

This place is great, and I love that I can order via door dash. The first thing I have to get off my chest is that their quinoa stuffed avocado is delicious. So much so that I'm going to replicate this week. From there, I mostly just get the straight-up chicken dinner. It goes a long way, and I always have leftovers, which I can eat as is or turn into something a little different. I've loved the cilantro rice, plantains, yucca, and the corn salad the most. Though, what sets all of the food to another level are the sauces. Although all can be used on all of the dishes, I will say that I have found my favorite combinations: the yellow for the chicken, the red for the yucca, and the green on the rice. Also, get extra sauce, it's worth it! read more

The chicken was good when when we got our order home I had half filled container of the beans and the corn salad. I have gotten viva from many locations but this is the first time I got half portions. I know they were busy but I paid quite a bit. Loved the taste but I always by a chicken and a half to have for lunch and this time I did not have enough sides :( read more

Para empezar la atención fue de muy mala calidad, el precio no me pareció razonable a otros lugares en los cuales he degustado la sazón de la comida peruana, la comida estaba cruda por así decirlo, el arroz no estaba en su termino de cocción y el pollo estaba crudo no estaba del todo asado read more

I absolutely love Viva chicken. I go to the waverly one all the time. In fact they know me by name. Love the staff there. I also have had a great experience in the Ballantyne and Charlotte location. The red stone location was disappointing today. The staff appeared so uncaring. Myself and my friend got locked in the outdoor seating area and we knocked several times. The staff (2) looked at us and didn't even budge to address our concern or open the door. I had to go out through the exit and re enter for my friends sake. No one came and apologized. Than when we picked up our food, they seemed annoyed to offer us plates. At the end we didn't even ask for to go containers trying to avoid the staff (a young lady with colored hair and man) I will not be going to that Viva for sure. I will only stick with waverly whose staff have always been consistently amazing! read more

We were so excited to try Viva after hearing good things. We called in a curbside pickup order. Everything went smoothly with pickup. Out of the five of us, only one person liked their meal. The chicken on our sandwiches was so bland. I dont know if this is typical but they had no flavor. read more

Perfect meal for those that stay on a partially clean diet throughout the year. Delicious!

I think food was good tasting. But lower stars are for staff and customer service. They got my order wrong 3 times. Everyone behind counter seems to be lost and everyone was trying to do almost everyone's job. There was no defined role for people behind counter which slowed the service. Food rating 4.25/5, overall experience 3.25/5. read more

This is my favorite Viva Chicken in the area! The staff is very helpful. The sauces are a little spicier than other locations, but I'm a fan of that. The chicken is the right level of crispy. The green beans are seasoned to perfection. It's clean and never overly busy. Honestly this is my go-to spot for dinner after a rough day at work since it's both satisfying, comforting, and healthy (if you order the right thing....). My go-to meal is a 1/4 chicken (white meat), cilantro rice, and green beans. I would've never thought that I would consistently order green beans at a restaurant but they are so good! I usually dip my chicken in the green and red sauces and dump the yellow sauce on my rice. The yellow sauce is liquid gold, it's so good. read more

What can I say - I love this place! Staff is nice and the line moves well. Parking isn't the worst. If you could bottle pure goodness in a bottle... wait you can! All 3 of these sauces they have are to die for. I always get the same thing so I haven't tried much. I get 1/4 chicken with fries and cilantro infused rice. Plus a whole lot of sauces. I generally get the dark meat because it is juicer: but you can get white meat for a small additional charge. For what you get and compared to most every good establishment nowadays the menu is priced fair! The place is always clean. Someone is constantly walking around cleaning up and wiping down. You don't see that much. They'll ask if you're doing ok too and see if you need anything even though they aren't servers. This is a favorite of mine for sure! read more

I discovered this place a few months back after doing some shopping in the area with my mom and niece. I've been twice so far and can't get enough of the food--and neither can my mom (pictured). She actually recently requested to go here for her birthday and I was happy to oblige. The Peruvian rotisserie chicken is so flavorful and moist. The sides that we chose (Peruvian rice, plantains and green beans) were all seasoned perfectly and were a generous portion. We had quite a bit of leftovers to take home with us. They have an app that allows you to get off of your order, so I highly recommend downloading that. As far as price, it's a bit on the pricey side BUT...it's well worth it. read more

Viva Chicken - Whole Peruvian chicken with Peruvian rice, plantains and green beans - Peruvian Near Me - Indian Land, South Carolina

Tasty food at a great price! The staff members are constantly cleaning and working to ensure that the restaurants is inviting

Best chicken in SC! Ordered a whole chicken and a half chicken, yucca fries, plantains, cilantro rice, French fries, and got two of the sauces (yellow and green...forgot their names). Not one item was bad. Everything was cooked perfectly And was flavorful. Nothing required the sauces to add flavor but I tried them anyway. Only recommendation I have is for the families of four...one whole chicken will not be enough! Wishing our family of four would have gotten two whole chickens...everyone wanted seconds and there was not enough to go around (we ordered to go) read more

Food sucked as well as their customer service. Asked to speak manager and told he wasn't there. They were rude!!!!!

Love this place! Fast friendly and fresh. Pricing is fair too! If you haven't been here then you need to!

Typically Viva gets 5 of 5 stars but two customer service issues have soured my opinion. 1) I waited 10 minutes on hold for curbside pickup. Finally I go in and get it myself only to see everyone standing around unoccupied . I called later and she said they were in a "meeting" 2) happy hour meal quality isn't as good not sure if it's sitting around but the rice is always mushy and the chicken is nonexistent 3) no one knows how the rewards system works. I've been cheated out of my last two earned rewards and management shrug their shoulders and told me to contact corporate. To which I've received no response. So In all, good even great food most time but poor customer service . I won't be back anytime soon. read more

Super yummy food. Good portions for the money. Is equally good delivered, take out or eat-in. One of my favorite take out restaurants.
