    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is located in the back. We were almost not going to go there because the whole foodcourt was empty. Empty of people and stalls! There are about 15 stalls and only about 5 were occupied.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were tired and didn't want Red Robin or islands outside. So we decided on this from the 5 stalls that were left in this foodcourt. Great find though! Great prices and delicious food! Everything was fried to yumminess! lol

    Spicy popcorn chicken from the food court inside 99 Ranch Market. Medium spice level, 7.5/10. Next time I'd get the popcorn chicken by itself with a Coke--or maybe a beer from the bar.

    Overall, I had a fairly good experience. There is a kiosk I ordered at, and then you wait for your food to be prepared. The wait is reasonable, and the flavors were on point. I tried the crispy chicken skin and crispy oyster mushrooms with fried basil. The only thing that would have made things better was the everything could have been made even more crispy than it was, but the flavors were there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are plenty of tables, but I got my food to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Ordered from the kiosk for lunch and even with no one else there our order took over 30 minutes. Only had one person working the place on a weekday lunch causing this delay but if I had known the wait would be that long I probably would've ordered from somewhere else since I still had to get back to work. The popcorn chicken bento box was filling but not worth the price. The chicken was juicy but was a little under seasoned and the egg was overcooked making it dry.

    It's hard to find a local place that has tasty popcorn chicken, but this place has it! Their Taiwanese sausage is also delicious and hard to find at other places. Their chicken steak is also good along with their other combos. Good place to grab a bite if you're shopping for groceries at 99 or in the area.

    Glad to see some new spots here at Cravings 99 and hope they stay busy! We were looking for a little mid-day snack and the popcorn chicken here fit the bill! ---popcorn chicken: reasonably priced and it was nice and crispy, great for sharing! Will have to be back to try their minced pork rice

    This spot is part of the Cravings food court, one of my favorite grocery stores in the area. However, the restaurant itself is quite underwhelming. The whole food court felt very empty, half the stores were closed, even lunch hours was not vibing. Big Bad Chicken seems to work with Just Boba, as they have the same kiosk. They have meal sets for about $20, which includes a drink with a bento. Without a drink will be about $13. Ordering was weird, the kiosks at Big Bad Chicken and Just Boba were the same, but boba and sandwiches were picked up at JB while bentos are at BBC, their kitchens are not even next to each other. Given that there wasn't anyone else waiting, the service at lunch is achingly slow. Order is ready but they don't call your number. You had to shout for attention because somehow they're busy in the kitchen with ghost orders. I've tried the standard minced pork rice bowl and ordered a pork chop sandwich to try. The bowl was decently sized, taste just okay, the side veggies were just frozen corn and stuff. The sandwich I order wasn't available, they didnt block it off the menu and told me WAY after the fact. I had the choices of whatever was premade at the counter, had some egg with pork floss one instead. Totally not worthwhile. I love Taiwanese food and this wasn't giving me a "yes, I'll come back every time" feeling. Given that Chino Hills is accessible to many other TW food spots, it's definitely not a spot I'd go back to. This food court restaurant is far beyond ready for customers. Somehow this place has a lot of good reviews months ago, hard to believe that this place has fallen off this much this soon.

    The best popcorn chicken in Chino Hills! Great flavor and not dry. This is a new spot in the Cravings market/food hall off Grand Ave. There's been a lot of turnaround for restaurants in Cravings, but I hope this one sticks around. They also have self-ordering via tablet which is very convenient.

    Store front at the back of Cravings!

    Look for Cravings food market first as this restaurant is inside the market at the very back! It isn't advertised outside the building so this is the only tip you get at the moment. I initially came to the market for the Hainan chicken rice but decided to order the iconic Taiwanese street vendor food, the fried chicken filet. I wasn't intending to finish the chicken filet right then but it was so nicely crunchy in the outside and tender/juicy on the inside with a hint of the black pepper reminding me of night market atmosphere in Taiwan! I ended up ordering sesame balls, oyster mushrooms and yam fries as vegetarian options from the restaurant to take home to my vegetarian in laws. The sesame balls were a big hit as well as the oyster mushrooms. Talked to the cashier and turns out they just opened the beginning of this month so still missing some items in the menu. They are an established restaurant in Cerritos he said. I look forward to experiencing more of a Taiwanese goodness here in the future! Lastly, I have been seeing such price hikes everywhere since the pandemic and supply chain shortages. To see items here go for $6-7 makes me feel like it was pre-pandemic pricing! Lastly, I hope they extend their operating hours beyond 730pm and make this market a popping place to be!

    Fried pork chop, string beans, and gizzard all in one box.
    Jennifer M.

    Took 25 minutes for fried pork chop, string beans, and gizzard. Comes out all mixed together unless you ask them not to. No flavor in any of the food, just spice. You order through a kiosk but the pictures of the food look entirely different from what you actually get. The girl is working by herself, and is clearly understaffed. She was super sweet and explained how their system works, but the owner should do something to fix the issues...

    FRIED TOFU
    Kalani M.

    I'm sad at all the bad reviews..as I have NEVER had a bad experience here. I usually get the fried tofu..my son the popcorn chicken. Always BOMB. The chef does great. I get a medium spice on my tofu..I've gotten the spicy and boy did I regret it lol the tofu comes out perfect seasoned with just the right crunch. The popcorn kitchen FIRE tried it with no spice and with spice..both DELICIOUS. They forget to put the sauce in..but the guy is always nice to give one when asked. Sweet and sour sauce just makes it better. Every time I shop I will go grab from here..don't let the bad reviews hinder you.

    a plate of fried chicken
    Kelly M.

    So much fried goodness !!!!My go to is popcorn chicken, calimari, and mushrooms. I haven't tried the tofu or yams. The wings are too crispy for my taste. Each portions is $6. You get a lot for $25. Enough for several meals. It's all the way in the back of the food vendors, behind MADBUN.

    My order is ready text!

We were kindly greeted by the server who let us sit wherever as we were the first customers. The restaurant has that modern Korean Bar inspired design and has something similar to a nice fusion between Korean and Western sports bar aesthetic. We ordered the Legend Boneless Combo which consisted of 4 different flavors we can choose from alongside a small salad, 2 fountain drinks and waffle fries (there is an upcharge of $1.50 if you want these instead of regular fries). We did wait about 30 minutes for our order to come out (this is perfectly normal and fine as Korean Fried Chicken tends to take more time to cook). When it came out, we were surprised by the generous portion size. It was definitely a lot bigger than I expected which is amazing. The flavors we got were: Original Crispy (10/10) : cooked to perfection and juicy Burrinkle Powder (12/10): My personal favorite with that nice sweet cheezy flavor complimented by onion and garlic undertones. Definitely a must try! Honey Bee (9/10): Delicious sweet honey with a sneaky kick to it. Very good! Fire Soy (8/10): Rich in Soy Garic flavor with a strong spicy kick that comes after the initial flavor and lingers. Be warned as this is pretty spicy! Overall my friend and I are both very happy for dropping by here and we both cannot wait to come back with more friends!!

    I'm going to preface this one. Normally I rate primarily on food and price with ambiance and…read moreservice being a secondary concern. That said, my family had such a great experience with our waiter Sean that I can't really ignore it for this one. He really went above and beyond, joking with the kids, being very personable and attentive, and just overall being a great host. On to the review. The store itself is clean and pleasant, the service staff was fantastic the day we were there. My family and I walked in after spending the morning out in the sun and we were tired and dehydrated. We decided to stop by because my youngest wanted pho. We ordered a ribeye pho, a grilled bbq squid, and a bun bo hue. Pho - I feel like pho is a dish that you can really express yourself with. This pho leans heavily into what we're guessing is cinnamon and sugar than other pho and is a bit sweeter and warmer than most. This particular pho also wasn't quite as rich as some of the others I've had, but I may also be comparing it to ox-tail pho which isn't a fair. Overall hits the spot. Bun Bo Hue - My wife and I loved this one. The flavors of the bun bo hue were right up our alley. Rich, complex, very tasty with a nice kick to it. We really enjoyed this one and thought it was one of the best ones in our area. I will say that we were missing the pork blood, but I can see how other people might not. Good stuff. BBQ Squid - Honestly, not much to say about this. It was sweet and not overcooked, which is all we really needed. The sauce was good and the squid was grilled well, not rubbery at all. The boys enjoyed it quite a bit. Black Vietnamese Coffee - This might just be a fake part of the review because my wife and I had just been out in the sun for a few hours and desperately needed cold coffee, but we really liked their coffee. It was DARK and rich with very little acidity. It made us happy. Overall, the food is pretty good for the price. I can see how the pho can be polarizing, but the bun bo hue is definitely worth a try. More than that though, the service was amazing and really made us feel at home.Thanks for the great experience!

The broth was really flavorful, and there was a perfect meat-to-noodle ratio. We also ordered a vermicelli dish--the egg roll that came with it was good and crispy, but the dish itself was a miss. It didn't have any meat as this dish normally does, and the fish sauce they served with it just didn't taste like the right one. The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere. We were seated right away, and our waiter was friendly, attentive, and kept everything moving smoothly. Prices are a little bit higher here compared to other pho spots with similar food quality.
