Chicken University LB: Reviews & Ratings
We've been to the other Chicken University location and wanted to try this one! The service was great and I understand that there is a wait because of the way the chicken is prepared fresh. The fries were a nice side to have and the wings were really yummy! We got the soy garlic! The tenders were quite rubbery so we couldn't really eat much of it :/ I'll definitely come back to try more wings!
I don't know where this university has been all my life, but I wish it were closer! I got the lemon pepper popcorn chicken and it did not fail me with crispiness, flavor, and salt. It was heavenly. I will say, they seem to need more help in regards to staffing (especially during local events). It was a decent 30 minute wait for fried chicken, and I could see it getting even more swamped on the weekends. There is also limited seating which could be a bit of a downfall.
First thing first ! NO CASH & expect a wait time , this is no order your food and get it within 10 mins this more like expect to get your food in a 20 min time frame ... which can be a little frustrating but when you get your food that is super super fresh , you prettt forgot you had to wait long for your food LOL. The wings here are definitely a hit , the thai basil WOW ! Onion rings have been the best ones I've ever tried so far & I even tried their sandwich and that was a hit too , it was a little bit small but was priced right for the size. They have parking in the back area of the restaurant , service has been great so far , they have a girl there that always on point ! It kinda gives off a wing bar type of vibe , not sure if they sell alcohol here ... don't recall seeing anything of that sorts
This is your sign to get a side of cheese fondue with your Korean Fried Chicken! Not many places have this, but Chicken University does! They're currently in their soft opening and they are serving up some amazing Korean fried chicken along with some ooey gooey cheesy fondue! The soy garlic and lemon pepper wings were fried to perfection and have some great flavor. Both were so juicy and crispy, and the melted cheese on top just made it that much better. Highly recommend stopping by here to get your Korean fried chicken fix! This is the sister location the location in Fullerton and will have their full menu in a couple of weeks when they have their grand opening!
Went to their soft opening today and I say I'm a fan of Korean fried chicken. The combo was a good deal, of the salad and daikon radish with a drink. Which I love Stubbs soda! I ordered a garlic Parmesan flavor style of dry rub wings. The parking situation might or might not be ideal but might be doable for a lunch. Getting my food to go was fast and the cashier was nice. The space isn't super filled out but for how the set up is, they don't have to do too much! I see the sauces and I'd like to try them all!
