Overall it's just a meh experience, even though it's cheap I really don't think it's worth it. The chicken is moist enough and I think it could be good but it kind of tastes gross the more you eat it. The sauce is basic, they have a single slice of lettuce in the sandwich, but it is a lot of chicken. If you want to add on fries, instead of getting the combo (bc I didn't want a drink) it's the same price as the sandwich itself which is ridiculous. You order through a machine so technically there's not really any service. The environment is quiet unless there's a lot of customers and they do have a few tables where you can play games at, but I don't know if I'll go again. read more

Call A Chicken - Popcorn chicken and wraps - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Ambience. C Service. A Food. A Price. A Found in the middle of the university avenue with limited street and parking lots! Great for students and locals walking in area. Like that they stay open late. Picked up my order Monday night before midnite. Ordered in Uber Eats and got BOGO for the Korean chicken nuggets! $7!!! Tender morsels (I think thigh meat) with light crispy batter and lots of crisp you want to eat up. The schezuan light dusting seasoning is mild and not spicy to my palette. I'll need to figure out what they have spicy in the future. They do have mayo , ketchup and bbq sauce on request. And loves this chains recipe for their batter and tender hot nuggets! I would come back again in future. My new favorite chicken Korean nuggets!!! I'm a FaN!!!! read more

Never going back to call a chicken on udistrict. I took some buddies here cuz I remember going here back in my college and they got this like cheap chgn sandwich combo that I loved. It's been a minute since I been on campus and we was craving some chgn so yah. Raising canes was a long ahh line so I was like hey I know a spot. Anyways first red flag should've been that after one of my buddies ordered he didn't even get a receipt so we had to go to the back and ask if it went through and the guy working like popped out from a corners headphones on like huh? And he was on his phone lmaoo and he's like oh yeah. Anyways oh yeah look at the chicken in my photo attached it's black. I got so sick. Actually like 3 out of the 5 of my buddies had tummy issues later this day. We was blowing up the toilets at the UW bookstore sksks. I believe the chgn is rotten and expired and they still served it bruh. It also tasted very off. I've unfortunately had expired chgn before and this is exactly what it tasted like. I mean we were all hungry when eating it so I was like eh okay. Kinda crispy. But bro the crispiness was just like idk how to describe but it was hiding what was rlly underneath lmaoo. Bruh. I feel sick. Omg. Typing this makes me feel sick. Like idk wtf how old that chgn was. Looks like they just tossed some old chgn in the fryer. Idk bruh. Also not to mention I saw many reviews after about how the chgn is like odd tasting and disgusting lmao it was truly disgusting. And ppl be finding hair in their food and yah idk oh even a few months ago someone found a roach in the bathroom?? Bish what LOL. It do look very dirty in the back too ngl. I took a lil peak when picking up my order loll. And yeah for someone who loves fried chicken bruh oh gawd. I'm dissapointed and disgusted. read more

Took them quite a while to prepare the chicken. This is okay with me, as long as it's fresh. Once I was able to eat the chicken, I realized that the chicken was basically just bones (I ordered the popcorn chicken, so I thought there wouldn't be bones). Very little meat. Ended up throwing most of it away. Wasn't that tasty either. I don't want to sound naggy! I just had high hopes for this place, and they let me down. Also, I am not understanding the boba and/or yogurt bar situation that they have going on in the store, but it looked a bit unsanitary, as all the toppings were out in the open with no covers. There also weren't any employees watching that section, so it's really unknown what happens to those toppings. Unfortunately, I don't want to go back. read more

Everything was really salty, both the chicken legs and the Sandwich haf an overwhelming saltiness.

This place only has to do a single thing to fix their chicken, BRINE it. It is incredibly bland and unseasoned. The fries are also unsalted. Really unfortunate because the crisp is good, the sauce is good, the price is cheap, but everything from the chicken to the batter to the fries are just completely lacking in salt. Nobody is buying this kind of food while trying to be health-conscious, please salt the food. read more

I had a door dash delivery for wings and two legs. The chicken was fantastic, it was, crispy, and juicy. And, the flavor was very good. I do not understand all of the less than favorable reviews. They must be more about the dinning experience rather than about the chicken. Finally, door dash was on time and the chicken was still hot and crunchy. , read more

Half the time I went, they had closed early or ran out of chicken. Food was good a couple times but very oily and greasy. Fries were salty but in a good way. Seems to me like a late night comfort food type-of meal. They had a few games to play in the lobby last time I went, which was fun and kept me occupied while I waited for my food. Chicken itself like I said was very greasy and needed some sort of sauce like ketchup or hot sauce to add flavor. read more

Lovely, flavorful, crispy and juicy fried chicken. They had a soft opening even though they'd been open for a while so I assume that's soft launching new management, and boy I think it worked, because I went at a reeeeeaaalllly busy time, and my two orders still came out FAST within 10 minutes. The entire restaurant was full and there was a line for the self-order pad, but the staff in the back were working really hard to fulfill orders. Got a spicy chicken sandwich -- the chicken is a giant puck, but breaded nicely, still juicy inside, cooked perfectly and had globs of mayo with a single lettuce leaf. The taste is reminiscent of a Mcchicken but possibly on the sweeter side with an earthy taste of airy crunchiness that's really satisfying to eat. Got a box of popcorn chicken to snack on and they are big too! Also juicy, in the original flavor, very crunchy and delicious. Price-wise, it's very affordable. 4.99 for a bigggg chicken sandwich is super worth it! There are lots of tables and chairs inside for easy dining, and make sure you grab a bunch of napkins before you dig in because you will need them. Trusss meee! read more

Just revisited the location today after trying it about ~1 year ago and it's worse than I remember. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich combo with fries and a drink (their current $10 promotion). The chicken itself was lacking both in flavor and crispness. It had the consistency of what you'd expect a thanksgiving Turkey to be. The fries weren't half bad, just kind of standard. The interior wasn't anything crazy. It was relatively clean and plain. I did enjoy that they had an axe throwing game setup, although there was no way I was touching that prior to eating . The people were pretty nice! No interaction at the register since it's a self-order system, but the dude handing off my food was friendly and accommodating. read more

Call A Chicken - Hmmm - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

3.5/5 rounded up. Call A Chicken is basically comparable to a fast food spot. It reminded me of Dandan Hamburger from Taiwan. Soft opening so I am cutting them some slack. Food is average (3/5) but prices are fair and ambiance is solid. I'll hopefully revisit in the future once everything is more solidified for a better, accurate rating. For now, I thought the food was whatever but it's a solid study spot with reasons I'll detail below. Starting with the pros, the chicken was pretty juicy and tender, not dry. It's not exceptional or anything but it's just solid chicken. They also introduce bottomless house beverages on the Ave which is a great concept. Cups are a bit on the smaller side for their bottomless drinks. They have bottomless fountain drinks which is standard and not surprising, so nothing to note there. However, having bottomless house beverages is very interesting. You can refill milk tea, taro milk tea, or a seasonal beverage. Because of this, it's a pretty great spot for studying or doing work because you can get refill "higher quality" drinks that isn't simply soda. Maybe not particularly better, but it's a change of scenery in the sense that you don't often get refills on non-soft drinks, especially around the Ave. They ran out of milk tea so I can't comment on that, though I really wish I had the chance to try their boba and milk tea. Taro Milk Tea - it's served warm and honestly pretty good. Nutty flavor is present and it's not overly sweet (it is a bit sweet, but not 100% level at a boba spot). Great drink for Seasonal Beverage - tasted like a sweetened green tea with some spices though I'm not certain what it was exactly. Basically some type of tea though, so another calming drink to sip on while doing some work. Wrapping all that information up, the ambiance is nice where it's decently sized and spacious with outlets and Kleenex tissue boxes at each table. This means there's a solid amount of space to work with for anything whether that's conversation, studying, or work. -- Now, the cons. They ran out of items early in the evening which actually seemed worth trying. It makes sense that these items sold out as they looked better or worth trying. Particularly the milk tea, boba (topping), chicken fried steak, and rice. Their toppings (boba and jelly) are a dollar each which is pretty hefty. Unless these toppings are also bottomless, I don't see why I would pay double the price especially with these cups being on the smaller side and thus, they likely skimp a bit on the toppings not to overflow the cup. They have a Double Chicken Sandwich without a combo option so you'll have to pay full price for individual items if you did want a bigger meal (larger sandwich). They have combos for every other item. Awesome Chicken Wrap is crazy small so at the price point, it's not worth it. In a combo, it's slightly better, but it looks very much like a dollar menu item from another fast food joint. Skip this. Chicken Sandwich is extremely simple. Bun, mayo, lettuce, chicken, mayo, bun. It leaves something to be desired but it's not overloaded with a clash of flavors, so I'm unsure how to feel. It's fairly filling as is, but it really is just another chicken sandwich that's beat by the more popular chicken sandwich spots. However, we don't have those luxuries on the Ave, so there's that. Drumstick is juicy but the breading could use some work. So the inside chicken is solid but the breading and crunch factor isn't as great. Fries are decent, but can be a bit undercooked. They aren't as crisp as I'd like, I mean they're no McDonalds. They're also lightly salted so some fries might feel unsalted because there's not a lot. tl;dr okay food, okay prices, solid interior for a spot to hang out for an extended period of time refilling house beverages. read more

I'm using voice chat so don't mind the spelling but the first time we came here it actually tasted kinda OK. I was obsessed with it for a second but then I noticed the inside of the restaurant had its window open and the fucking flies which is dropped out on the floor because there's this light that kills them. It's already gross enough that the walls have literal holes in them, but that's actually so freaking gross read more

I've only had call a chicken through food events in the city - once last year in ID when they had a promo for a whole fried chicken at $5 and once this past weekend at the UW street fair when they had free ice cream with a purchase of popcorn chicken. The ice cream was just a packaged container and was pretty trash but the popcorn chicken was great. The only thing was - it was supposed to be spicy and it was so completely not that we asked if they messed up our order. Nope, the spice is just completely unnoticeable. read more

I was not impressed by Call A Chicken. After a Washington Huskies football game, I gave this place a try. I figured by the long line that restaurant would be decent, at worst, but my visit ended up with much to be desired. After waiting in line for nearly 30 minutes, I placed my order. The worker must have misunderstood what I ordered because the completely wrong thing came out. I was hungry and did not really mind. The sandwich was terrible though. The chicken was extremely greasy and dry on the inside, lacking much flavor at all besides the oil that it was soaked in. The restaurant sits in the middle of University Way -- "The Ave" -- and is normally filled with college students, late night. If you are a college student looking for some cheap and greasy food, this might be the place for you. If you are not, I suggest considering other options. read more

Ate some CAC before my tennis match and it ended up being a disaster. I was extremely gassy and I couldn't make any balls in. I am 5/5 for eating at CAC and having a raging stomachache after. After the first 3 times I kept telling people that it was worth it because the chicken tasted so good but now I think it is taking its toll. I now treat Call a Chicken kind of like alcohol. You have it to have a good time in the moment but you know that afterwards will be a time of pain and reflection. From now on, I will only be eating at CAC when I have no other plans for the rest of the day or if I want to feel something and I recommend you to do the same. read more

I absolutely love the chicken sandwiches it was amazing. I would try it again and I would recommend

The reviews for this place are pretty negative so I thought I should chime in. After reading other reviews, they absolutely did not reflect my experience. I'm not going to say this place was really memorable and knocked my socks off, but it was tasty enough, well priced, quick, and convenient. Nothing that'll blow your mind but I actually found the hamburger pretty tasty. Chicken options and fries were all decent. I probably will be back when I'm in a hurry and in the neighborhood read more

When we were walking around U District, we saw a big sign outside Call A Chicken, which said "Soft Grand Opening". Intrigued by the name and decor in the front window, we walked in and placed our order on the iPad. There were many people ahead of us, and we ended up waiting 15-20 minutes. When we got our order of the chicken wrap and double chicken patty burger, they gave us this cute, reusable bag to go with it! The wrap was around $8, while the burger was around $14. We were quite surprised on how expensive the food was, especially since the portion sizes were on the smaller side. Flavor wise, I thought the chicken was cooked and fried very well. The outer coating was super crunchy, while the chicken inside was juicy. The wrap came with a few topping inside (like lettuce, sauce, tomato, etc.), which is typical of any other wrap. Overall, thought the flavor was great but the price was on the costly side. read more

叫了个鸡！心心念念等了好久終於開了！简直就是中国炸鸡的味道， 勾起了kfc 和华莱士的回忆。在ave 上有这样好吃的中国味道真的开心到飞起！非常建议鸡翅和鸡腿！鸡爆米花味道比较淡一点和干一点。但是鸡翅和鸡腿有酥脆的外皮一口咬下去超嫩超多汁！一定要选辣味，然后推荐麻辣，四川和孜然口味！新奥尔良烤翅yyds。听说整只鸡很不错，本人也打算回顾尝遍他们的套餐。还有无限续杯的奶茶！个人非常喜欢的是他们有少量的选择，可以单买2-4 只鸡翅或鸡腿。对于馋嘴的学生党，有时候只需要一点点小吃就很合适 My favorite fried chicken spot on the ave hands down for reference, my top fried chicken choices are Jollibee's and Church's chicken. But on the Ave, I used to go to ChiMac and BBQ chicken. Ever since Call a Chicken came into the picture, I think I'll go back often. I LOVE chicken that are crispy, juicy and tender. Marinated, nicely flavored on the inside without heavy sauce covered on the outside try it and it'll change your fried chicken game! I highly recommend New Orleans wings, and crispy wings in red hot and cumin flavor! read more

This fried chicken place is so good! My favorite item from their menu is the combo which includes a spicy chicken sandwich, fries, and a drink. I love the chicken sandwich because the chicken was crispy, juicy, and not really spicy. The fries were crispy as well. I also tried the popcorn chicken, which was good but not as crispy as the chicken sandwich. The tote bag is also very cute, and it's free! They put a lot of thought into designing the interior, I took photos with their props at their photo corner. read more

please do not consume any food from Call a Chicken in the U District. i have been sick for 2 days ever since dining here. i wish i checked the reviews before getting lured in by the sidewalk sign advertising a cheap sandwich. i ordered the chicken sandwich and my partner ordered the chicken wrap. he has not experienced any symptoms. meanwhile, i have been vomiting and bedridden for 2 days straight. there is nothing else that can explain my symptoms (headache, chills, fever, nausea, diarrhea, extreme stomach pain). it's not covid, and i'm not pregnant read more

Waited 40 minutes for our two item order with only one other order in their que. ordered a15 piece and fries. The food itself was surprisingly good but what I saw in the 40 minutes disappointed me. Fried chicken sitting in the pass through with no heat lamps or temp control. Watched one employee poor bleach into a mop bucket inside of a sink and then proceed to mop the dining area, which realer of bleached and was obviously not the right mixture. Two of three BOH employees keep yelling and making grunting noises that was surprisingly loud enough to startle the other guest who were waiting patiently for the 40 minute wait time. Didn't see anyone wash hands the whole time even after handling bleach. read more

3.5 stars! The chicken is super crispy and tender, and not too salty! The cashier said he prefers the chicken sandwich over the Beijing wrap so I opted for that- however, it was extremely underwhelming. I wonder if the spicy one would've been better. My friend got the Beijing chicken wrap (not pictured) and said it was pretty good. He also got the chicken rice and said it was ok; he didn't expect pork floss on the rice and felt that the rice to chicken ratio was poor. Red sauce came with his rice box which he said was like a ketchup and spicy/soy sauce. read more
