    Chicken strips 2
    Susan H.

    I was in the mood for some chicken wings and considered ordering from the closest Wing Stop---that is until my husband looked at the dismal Yelp reviews. So...we looked for a place that was close by with good reviews and came across Wooboi. It had been on my radar for a while. We ordered using Doordash. We each got the entree with 3 chicken pieces. Plus, we also got one order of fries. I liked that we could control how much spice to add or not add any at all. Since it was our first time trying it, we decided to go spice-free. The food arrived in a timely fashion. We were shocked to see just how big the chicken pieces were! The basket-like vessel they used also had a slice of white bread in it and some dill pickle slices. We were both impressed at how tender and moist the meat was. The fries were okay and we admit a little spice on the fries wouldn't have been bad as they were bland otherwise. I was full after eating 2 of my chicken pieces. So, I wrapped up the third piece and put it in the fridge. Two days later, I put it in some Spanish rice and found it held up well and we had a good meal. Yes, we would consider ordering it again---this time I would try their level one spice.

    THREE TENDERS
    Liz R.

    I was pretty certain I'd love this place ... and I'm rather bummed (& confused) that wasn't the case. The chicken tenders were interestingly odd and I felt exactly how you feel reading this ... while they were moist they were almost wet and I couldn't tell if that was from the oil they were slightly coated in on the outside (as though they weren't allowed to drain long enough before being boxed) or if it was because they were marinated well or if it was because they were oily on the inside ... I was perplexed! And the seasoning ... it was interesting ... I can't quite put my finger on what it was seasoned with ... The Mac Salad ... outright wrong! I have no idea what has made people say it was great because there was not a trace of greatness in it. There was shredded cheddar in it ... it was warm ... the pasta was overcooked ... really really odd The fried okra was the "winner" if there was one because it was perfectly seasoned and fried although they didn't vent the box it was placed in and it sweat all over itself and the coating began to fall off ... think french fries that lost their crunch bc they were steamed by being placed in a plastic bag after being fried. Truly one of the most perplexing meals I've had in a while and I'm pretty sad about it :(

    Halal certification
    Salman C.

    From the outside this place isn't that appealing to look at. Inside it's a few tables and some amazing chicken. First things first, this place is halal and not the "I heard from someone it is" halal. When you walk in there's a certificate on the wall. We ordered two chicken sandwiches, one medium and one hot. The medium was the perfect spice level for me and the hot wasn't too overwhelming either. The breading on the chicken is unlike any other chicken spot I've been to. It's super thick and super crunchy, almost like it's double fried. The fries are a must get too. They are seasoned like crazy and have a big crisp to it. I could've done without the heaping portion of coleslaw but I was able to remove some it. This place is a no frills chicken sandwich shop and can easily stand up to the big names in the area.

    Level 1 The Sando
    Christian E.

    My mouth was ON FIRE. if you want to hate yourself try the code blue. I had a fry and I honestly thought I was having heart palpitations for 20 minutes. Okay but besides that wooboi was fantasticccc. Worth the price. Got the level 1 sandwich and boy was that thiccer than oatmeal. Definitely want to get the sauce with it too. Definitely compliments the mild spice and crunchiness. I'm drooling and sweating just thinking about it

    Sando + Fries
    Mike J.

    Customer service: 5.5/10 cashier was kind of standoffish and was reluctant to explain some menu items Ordered: Sando level 2, Fries lv 1, Peach tea + lemonade Sando: 10/10 never had such a well seasoned and fried chicken sandwich. I'm usually not a fan of slaw, but the slaw complimented the sandwich perfectly. Level 2 is a nice slice level and I don't see the point of going past 3. Fries: 10/10 well seasoned and fried perfectly Peach tea is extremely sweat, lemonade just as sweet so be careful doing half and half. Overall I would return for the food.

    Hands down the BEST chicken sandwich in the DMV area!!! We literally just came out of the place and I already miss it. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside, and SO JUICY on the inside. The coleslaw tastes fresh and refreshing, and the pickles gave the right amount of tang. Also, what is the mysterious sauce they use?? The combination is perfect. The staff seems happy and friendly. Not a big seating area but I think they get mostly takeout order. Yummy!

    Waffle fries
    Dakota M.

    This place tastes amazing! Always a splurge to these spicy flavors. I like the fact they have curly fries, waffle and okra! We got the sando this time level 3 and it did not disappoint! We also got chicken tenders with no spice level to split with kiddos. I like that you can order ahead on the website to reduce time waiting. They even give an option to support the community now with as little as .25 cents and up to whatever donation you'd like.

    Waffle Fries
    Toni A.

    HOLY CHICKEN. So I thought the sandwich was just sitting on the edge of the wrap. NO. THERE WAS MORE. That sandwich was H U G E. Like 2 in 1. I shared with my husband, which was necessary considering the size. The taste was amazing. We got level 1 because we weren't trying to die. The chicken is crunchy and well seasoned. The sauce and toppings really compliment the chicken.The fries were delicious and seasoned well. SO LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CODE BLUE. This was the hottest level. We just wanted a taste of the spiciness . They were super cool and gave us a single fry with the hottest seasoning to try it out. When I say pain. I mean PAIN. That was so spicy, I couldn't talk for like 20 minutes. To whoever gets code blue on their sandwich, I have so much respect for you. I do wish this place had more space for people to sit. It got pretty busy. Maybe a future expansion? The staff were super nice and accommodating. Thanks for the good food!

    Torta sandwich and fries
    Ellie D.

    I clove how friendly and helpful the staff are! The gal working the cashier helped us get a feel for the understanding of the heat levels and have honest feedback when we asked about the lemonade and if the fries or pickles were better. They looked very busy with takeout orders but despite that we got our order pretty quick. What we got: Sando (level three) - 4* this is a big sandwich. The chicken is cooked to perfection and the sandwich wasn't too greasy which is always tough when it comes to chicken sandwiches. The comeback sauce is a mayo-based sauce, the same as the dipping saice for the fries and pairs pretty well with the sandwich. I liked the slaw and pickles a lot, they really helped round out the flavor. Level three spice wasn't too bad. Enough to leave a tingle but not enough to make me stop eating. Torta (level two) - 5* this was the winner of the night. It looks smaller, which it is, but that's because it's a chicken tender, not a breast, and the price reflects that as well. The somi sauce is a cilantro-lime based sauce and was delicious. Level two spice was really good, flavor wise, and perfect for someone whoncant really handle spice but still wants a bit of it. Fries - 4* my partner really liked the fries. I thought they were very good too, but the flavoring, while good, was a bit much for me and I couldn't eat too much.

    Wooboi is what I said after taking my first bite! So a few of my coworkers were talking about Wooboi and how good it was so I had to see what the hype was all about. Let's just say I GET IT! Just delicious. I mean I don't mind making that 45 min drive for good food, ok?! I ordered the Barahona, which is a grilled cheese sandwich (2 of them) and large chicken tender. I wasn't sure how it was going to taste considering it's different and not a norm for me but I mean if I'm going to try something, I'm going to go all out! For the heat, I selected 2 - medium. There is a range from 1-6 with 6 being the hottest. I'm not built for that but kudos to those who are. I also ordered some of the waffle fries. Big portion size. The sandwich comes with a sauce, which added to the awesomeness of the sandwich. The service was great. They were super welcoming and patient with me as I placed my order. The place is a decent size with a good amount of seating. They have two locations (that I know of) in this area so if you're ever in Herndon or Alexandria and want a bomb chicken sandwich, please visit them.

    Sando level one and waffle fries
    Naz S.

    By far the best seasoned chicken I have ever had. I can handle a little spicy but my old lady heartburn has made me taper back a bit on the spice level, so I ordered a level one Sando with a side of waffle fries tossed in level one. What I love about this place is that they use antibiotic free chicken and it shows! The piece of chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Juicy and flavorful. There was a sweet brown sugar aspect to the rub that reminded me of a dry rub on some ribs that was spectacular. The fries were perfectly crispy and hot! What a find! If he eating here every day if I could (damn you cholesterol). Give them some love! Also, location wise. In a small shopping center in a more remote area a little over a mile away from Reston town center. About .2 miles away is juicy brewery which is the perfect spot to take your chicken and enjoy some beers!

    To my surprise it was actually really good! I thought, eh who needs a whole restaurant for chicken…read moresalad. Well, now that I've visited I see why there can be. There's so many delicious spins on the classic dish I would've never thought of. Rather than getting a meal there, I bought the medium and large size chicken salad containers to make my own sandwiches throughout the week. What I ordered: The Olivia's Old South and Jalapeño hopper were my favorites but all the flavors I got really good! Your order comes with crackers. If you get their sandwiches it comes with 1-2 sides. Service: The staff let you try as many of the flavors as you want at the restaurant which was super kind! That's how I knew which options to order. Overall, I'll definitely be going back and ordering a couple of the larger chicken salad containers for weeks I don't feel like meal prepping. Inside restaurant: It's a large spot with tons of seats. It's a casual vibe.

Ordering, when dining in, involves giving one's order to the person at the counter. A nice man was working there and greeted us with a smile. I told him it was our first time here and we would probably have a few questions. We looked at the menu (they have one on the wall as well as a laminated one). I chose their 1-scoop platter. For my chicken, I chose "Carol," which is a simply dressed scoop. They have other scoops that have items in them, such as pimentos. For my side, I chose "broccoli salad". Crackers are given with each platter. Plus, a cookie is given (mini round buttercream frosted). My husband got a croissant with Carol's chicken salad. He got a cup of soup instead of a side dish. We each got soft drinks. A cup is given, and it's self-serve. All in all, we enjoyed our meals. The decor, to me anyway, reminded me of an old time kitchen table, complete with plastic tablecloths with prints. I felt the decor gave off a cozy feel.

    5-Star Review for Pollo Campero - Herndon, VA (496 Elden Street)…read moreEvent: My Mom's 75th Birthday Celebration 8-2-25 I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pollo Campero in Herndon, Virginia! They catered my mother's 75th birthday celebration, and it was truly exceptional. We had a guest list of 300 people, and every single one of them raved about the food! They loved it! We ordered a delicious variety including their famous fried chicken, grilled chicken, chicken nuggets for the kids, rice, Campero beans, coleslaw, and their incredibly flavorful mac & cheese. Everything was perfectly hot, fresh, and beautifully organized when it arrived. The delivery was punctual and seamless, which made such a huge difference for a large event like this. Thank you Okely for the delivery service. From the very beginning, Carlos Gonzalez from the Pollo Campero call center was absolutely phenomenal. I was nervous about coordinating such a large order, but Carlos went above and beyond to make sure every detail was handled. He patiently explained everything to me and followed up with calls just to reassure me that everything was on track. His customer service was top-notch and honestly one of the best experiences I've ever had with any company. Thanks to Carlos and the amazing Herndon team, the food was a HUGE hit and helped make my mom's birthday celebration a truly memorable day for all of us. I am so grateful and appreciative of the professionalism, care, and quality Pollo Campero provided. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sincerely, Lorraine

    Have previously really enjoyed food from here. Will never order again…read more Placed a pickup order, food wasn't ready when we got there. Staff couldn't find the order right away and had to show them on my phone to get it made. Cashier mumbled the whole time, snapping at us and rolling their eyes like it was a huge inconvenience, just generally rude. Waited another 40 minutes for our food. Staff didn't realize my friend spoke Spanish. Oops. They repeatedly referred to us using homophobic slurs. After all that, once we got our food we were in a hurry and booked it home. A large portion (5 piece chicken and dinner rolls) of our order was entirely missing. The french fries were cold and undercooked. And the kicker, one of our sandwiches was made with moldy bread that had been torn up. We contacted corporate, and was told to expect a further response and resolution. It never came. They provided poor service, used slurs, left food out, and served dangerous food. Never again.
