    If can give zero star I will, here at George Brown CC still waiting for my order for 30 minutes. They should have said order takes a long time.

    I've seen this truck at the local gas station for at least a couple of years, since I moved to the Medical Center area, and I've been curious. The cost of food has made me a bit leary, because I've paid tens of dollars for food from food trucks that don't equal the quality of the food. I was extra cautious when I saw the images of chicken tenders being used on the sandwich, instead of a chicken breast. Last week, I just threw caution to the wind and my kiddo and I went all in....and...it...was...worth it! Prices still make my head spin, especaily when I saw that there was an option for one or two tenders on a bun. Well, the size of the tenders were like a scene from The Flintstones (Google it, Gen Xers!) where when you ask for ribs you get dinosaur sized ribs. Theses tenders were huge...and the taste was just as huge! Very flavorable, indeed! Can't leave out the fries, which were seasoned to perfection! The guy in the windows seemed to be all business (I guess that heat will make you have a straight face) and the wait wasn't long at all. My kiddo was impressed! I'm actrually craving Bad Chx, right now!

    This place is so dope. I love the wings and the flaming hot mozeralla sticks. Great customer service but check your order before you leave! Love the step up platform and cool food truck design as well. 8/10 recommend!

    I have passed by this food truck a few times and started to give it a try. The sandwich was larger than expected since it was chicken tenders. Sandwich with cheese was filling and the seasoning on the french fries was perfect!! seasoning on chicken tenders was perfect also, it was spicy but not too spicy!! I will be back again

    4 piece chicken with fries/biscuit.

    the food is ok but just that....ok. Not as advertised at all. There is nothing neither hot nor flavorful about this chicken. This is your typical, everyday, bland chicken.

    Great customer service, the guys on the truck are very nice and talkative. The portions are HUGE! Worth the money for sure. I do wish that there was more cheese and less of the sauce on the fries. I did like how the fries had pickles and jalapeños. I like how you can pick your spice level..I chose hot and WHEW! They were not lying, it's HOT!

    Came back for the second time and this time and I had the Classy Chx Sando (Medium Spice) with Fries and I got to try out their Shrimp with their sauces. They were all so delicious!!! Honestly I don't think I can eat Nashville style Hot Chicken anywhere else unless if it's Bad Chx!!! They're so good!!! You have to give them a go if you want some of the best Hot Chicken in H-Town!!!! And it's perfect for a picnic right here at Hermann Park since it's very close and convenient!!! Put them on your radar!!!

    I tried Bad Chx at the lyric market not at the food truck location. This one is recently open at Lyric market in downtown. Food was OK compared to other chicken sandwiches in town this is not the best. Price range is considered cheaper than other vendors in lyric market.

    My first time visiting this food truck. Great location to med center My server was so kind, unsure if he was the owner or not, but excellent customer service. Food-I asked for his recommendation, and he stated to do a mix of the classic chx and cheesy chx. My level heat was hot. Was too for lava. Hot was enough heat for me. I liked it! I got the combo of fries. Nice size meat to bread ratio. Excellent service, prices comparable to most food trucks, will come back.

    I stopped by on a Friday evening to check out this food truck, and ordered the Waffle Sammy with fries. The sandwich consists of double garlic cheese waffle buns, pickles, coleslaw, and chicken tenders. On first impression the sandwich, particularly the waffle buns, looked appealing. However when I bit into the sandwich, I felt that the bread was too thick and it didn't allow me to appreciate the other ingredients inside. The chicken also felt dry. I also like fries to be crisp and their fries felt soggy. The prices are a little expensive for just a sandwich and fries. It is in a convenient location, but given the prices and quality, I don't think I'll be back.

    Good portion awsome.chicken sandwich

    Food truck near medical center parked in a gas station but very well lit and feels safe even at night. Love the Chx burrito every time with mild spice level which has a decent kick. The loaded fries is a huge portion and good for sharing. The service is very friendly & committed to making your order great.

One thing we really appreciated was the toppings bar, which included pickles, onions, pickled onions, jalapeños, and two different barbecue sauces so you could customize each bite. They even had a mini soft-serve ice cream machine for a little dessert after your meal, which was a nice touch. They also offer family meal options, making it a great choice for larger groups.

That was frustrating, especially after spending $40 on a meal and an appetizer. Overall, the small portions, poor quality steak, incorrect order, and lack of immediate customer service made this one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend this restaurant based on my experience.

    We ain't in Queens anymore…read more For years, I've eaten on Shah's all around the borough, initially out in Ozone Park and Briarwood before finding a real audience in Sunnyside. Now that they've sufficiently blown up around NYC, I was a bit shocked (and excited) to see them finally come to H-Town. What's the verdict? It's good enough to pass muster for NY standards (#1), is open super late, and will likely be my go-to Halal food for the foreseeable future. Since I've only had it in cart form, I'm still a buggin over the fact it's become a franchise. It's similar to my shock of eating Halal Guys at a store for the first time. The digs feel as foreign (prices, large, clean and bright interior) as it does familiar (taste, logo, etc.). Even though I had a laugh seeing the wall photo-mural of a Shah's cart in Times Square, I did appreciate the nod to Ozone Park with the 121st & Liberty street signs. The chicken + lamb combo platter ($12) is and always will be the winner. The lamb had the same kind of seasoning that most Halal spots out here try to replicate but can never get right. The rice was fluffy, and the white sauce was easily the highlight. I can understand why they've decided to bottle it up and sell it as liquid gold. It makes every meal better. Kofta ($12) and chapli ($13) are rarely my favorites, but I knew I had both in platter form. The addition of adding chickpeas and these other salads is not something I'm used to from the carts (#2) but I loved the fact it was drowned in the white sauce with a dash of hot sauce. The latter is supposedly extremely hot, but I didn't find it that spicy. While I have to say the cheeseburger was a bit of a disappointment (overly bready, thin patty), the pakora chips and french fries were fabulous. They were perfectly seasoned, had a nice crisp, and frankly would be an excellent, gut-busting addition to any platter. I don't love the extra charge, but I hope they remain consistent with it. This store location in Westchase along Westheimer is an up and coming part of town. There are numerous Middle Eastern businesses in the adjacent area, along with an abundance of parking spots and a good amount of late night activity. Service was friendly but I do hope they keep their standards up. As time goes on, I'm 100% convinced this will be a destination for the many late night meal seekers and fans of NY nostaligia. __________ (#1) Which automatically supersedes a lot of the ones here in Houston. Just keeping it real. (#2) Is the chickpeas a Houston thing? Genuinely curious.

This is a nicely sized spot next to the Jusgo plaza in Houston Chinatown, so plenty of parking and also food options. It's tucked in a corner but should not be written off. Its a pretty casual sitdown restaurant and we were welcomed and sat pretty quickly on a Saturday around 8:30PM. We were provided menus and started ordering everything that sounded good (within reason for 2, sorta). We ended up getting the Uyghur polo with lamb shank, Uyghur goshnaan, korma chop, garlic cucumbers, mint tea, and a yogurt for dessert. This was more than enough food for 2 but I wanted to try a bunch and this is me holding back. The Uyghur goshnaan was very crispy and the filling was flavorful and juicy, good lamb flavor and nice spices. The Uyghur polo with lamb shank was great and the pilaf had a nice sweetness with raisins that cut through some of the fatty richness of the lamb. The korma chop was also super flavorful with a nice savory sauce and noodled with an excellent texture, very QQ. I don't usually order cucumbers at Asian restaurants cause I can make a cucumber salad pretty easily at home but the one here was very good. Excellent refreshing crunch and garlic flavor to go with all the other dishes. The mint tea was also nice to wash down the mountains of food I was inhaling. I also enjoyed the yogurt, it's a thicker yogurt like a Greek yogurt and topped with honey and raisins. Again, a nice sweet/tart treat that didn't feel too heavy after everything else. I definitely need to come back as I didn't even get my big plate chicken but it'll be hard to choose between all the options. I def recommend this spot, esp if you like lamb as all the dishes we had were excellent and priced fairly for the portion and current economic situation.
