It was my first time at Chick Houz, and this Peruvian restaurant was excellent! I ordered the Brasa Burrito, Tres Leches cake, and a Chicha Morada for my drink, and everything was delicious. The flavors were great across the board, and I honestly don't have a single complaint. I'll definitely be coming back again!

I got the half chicken with vegetables and plantains, which was a healthy amount for dinner. The plantains were amazing, but that's also one of my favorite dishes. The vegetables were in kind of a spicy liquid and weren't my favorite. The chicken was freshly cooked, but a little bit dry. I did enjoy the crispy skin and both the yellow and green sauce that came in the to go order. Plenty of seating inside and a small but refined menu. The other reviews tell me I may have just had an off experience.

Go. No, actually - RUN to Chick Houz! The Peruvian rotisserie chicken is an absolute must! When you arrive you are unsure as to what to expect because it's very minimal and looks like simple. But don't let the looks fool you! We got the half chicken and shared between two people. It comes with a choice of two sides. We got the fries and the chaufa rice. The chaufa rice was like your average fried rice but I think it was less salty and greasy compared to most restaurants when you are dining out. It was a nice dish which wasn't eggy either even though I saw plenty of egg fried into it. Perfect rice IMHO! The chicken has such a nice crispy exterior while the inside is still moist and juicy. And I am not a fan of white meat but wow both the dark and the white meat were equally tender, delicious, and full of flavor. The yucca fries were crispy and yummy while the regular fries were crispy on the outside and not waxy on the inside which was such a huge win. They had the flavor of freshly made homemade fries. The real star of the show in my opinion after the chicken were the three different sauces. I honestly don't know what they were called but they were yellow, green, and pinkish red in color. The red one was a little too spicy for my taste and I don't really know what all was in it. The green sauce was very similar to a green cilantro chutney that you might get at an Indian restaurant. But a close second MVP in my opinion was the yellow sauce. I still don't know what was in the sauce but it had a super addicting quality where I just wanted to drink by the end of my meal. The service was quick and friendly. When we approached the counter we were greeted and all our questions about the chicken and the rice were answered. They were really sweet and even offered us a few samples of the various drinks that they offer. My family from out of town had never tried the jamaica drink and so they really enjoyed getting a sample of that. In addition to that, I also ordered the chicha morada which was just a perfect accompaniment to my meal. And my favorite part about discovering Chick Houz is that they have multiple locations and I can't wait to try all of them!

Great chicken! I'm mainly a white meat person so I have had my fair share of overcooked, dry chicken breast. This place is not one of those. Very juicy chicken breast and the sides are awesome! I got the half chicken with green beans and fried rice. Wow! Coming back here when I come through Houston again.

I had lunch here recently for the first time and it's a counter service restaurant with a drink fountain. I ordered the 1/2 chicken meal with two sides and opted for the regular order of mixed white and dark meat for $17. I picked black beans and a house salad for the sides. I don't know why but I wasn't expecting much but it turned out to be quite good. With a drink and tax the meal was $21.65. The food was ready about 5 minutes later. First of all the chicken consisted of large pieces that were all juicy and flavorful. I enjoyed them. The black beans were a large portion and they tasted very good. The salad was the same. Larger than expected and with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers with shredded carrots on top of the greens. It was an unusually robust salad with a homemade dressing that resembled ranch but was different. The chicken was very good and both side dishes impressed me. Another nice touch here is that you eat your meal on dinnerware with metal utensils. You don't see that often at counter service chicken shops. Yes there are several positive and unique things about dining here that I really liked. The food tasted very good, large portions, quality salad and plates and utensils. The only negative was the guy at the cash register called my Boss about 4 times during my ordering. I will return.

Why 5 stars? Because this absolutely hit the spot. --- --- --- I have had Chick Houz bookmarked for a bit, but hadn't made it in with it being about 40 minutes from me. But I took my son to a playground nearby, with the intention of Chick Houz being *my* indoor playground after. I would have loved to try several different items on the menu, but I opted for lomo saltado, and it was basically about as good as it gets. The quality of the steak was exactly what I was hoping for. I loved every bite. My only note is that it was labeled as a "bowl" on the menu, and I think it would have been a little easier to eat from a bowl than a plate, just because things were falling off the side. But when that's your biggest complaint, you know it was good. I ordered a chicken sandwich for my son and stole a couple of bites. Honestly, I would have loved to steal a lot more. The bread had a hint of sweetness and the whole thing got me excited to go back for a second visit. I did order a tres leches for dessert that I didn't love (it was somehow *too* sweet), but you don't come here for tres leches. You come for steak, chicken and the fixins. And those things are great here.

I was invited by family and friends to come here. I do like that they make everything (except deserts) fresh! It may take a while, but the quality is irreplaceable! I ordered the Lomo Saltado bowl, hibiscus ginger lemonade, and tres leches. *This is an order and pay first kinda place* My food took some time, as expected, when my food came out my French fries were lacking, I mentioned it to my brother in a joking way, they must've heard me, because a few minutes later they brought out a bowl of French fries. They didn't have to do this, but it was a very kind gesture. By the way their French fries aren't too soft and not too hard... they were cooked perfectly for enjoying with this dish, or as stand alone fries. I inhaled my plate! Towards the end of the night, I asked for my tres leches and devoured it. It tasted like a combo of tres leches and rice pudding, it was bomb! I was definitely stuffed after this. I had a man next to me who said he's a regular and that I needed to try the chicken, that it's the best he's ever had. You know the food is good when people patiently wait for the restaurant to cook their to-go meals!! I highly recommend this place, the restaurant has a very welcoming atmosphere! Will definitely repeat!

Very excited to have a new Peruvian place near us. Very friendly owner. The grilled vegetables were fantastic. Rotisserie chicken was great. Nice seasoning and crispy. And the yucca fries were my favorite. Next time we'll try lomo saltado. Also, the ginger hibiscus lemonade was really hitting the spot. Excellent menu. Good to have something like this up north I went to Peru last year for the Inca Trail and this food is high quality and authentic

Let me say this right now - I don't know if I could ever go anywhere else for some good chicken in this area chick houz is the BEST when it comes to juicy chicken with a side of fries. This is our go to spot when we want a meal that tastes good, but can also be balanced! Whether you want a salad with your chicken, or fries, or their fried rice, you just CANT go wrong. Also the salchipapa - yes - just get the mega!! Sausages, a fried egg, yuca fries - ugh chefs kiss and perfection! Make sure you come here and try it for yourself. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again lol

I had gone to this Peruvian chicken place a few times over the last while and it was great. However today I ordered the whole chicken special to go. I received the order first we were missing the dressing for the Greek salad (which we drove back to the restaurant and asked for it) then when about to eat opened up the chicken to find out it was grossly undercooked. Pink, bloody, slimy. I called the restaurant and apparently the best they would offer me and my wife is a 50% discount off next order... not even to replace our meal now. What a bloody joke!!!! Can't even believe I also was generous and tipped the guys 18% for my to go order as well. I guess now we have to find a different restaurant to eat at tonight since we're hungry and disappointed. Take your business elsewhere

What a delightful surprise! The chicken was incredibly flavorful, the beans were bursting with rich taste, and the burrito held a fantastic surprise--crispy, crunchy onions that elevated every bite. I would highly recommend this place, and we'll definitely be coming back!

All I have to say is it tastes as good as it looks. Try it, you will not be disappointed?

I give Chick Houz some of the highest praise I feel I can give a local restaurant, "it has entered the rotation". Meaning that not only is the food good, but it's good enough to be added to the list of places near me that I regularly circle through to eat at without having to think long about it. I only recently had Chick Houz for the first time but I've already had it a few times since. To me this is more of a fast casual place than a full sit down restaurant. I say that to say it isn't a place I'd travel far for but would enjoy often if it's close. Thankfully for me it is close to where I live so it'll be the latter for me. I haven't eaten inside of here so this is all from a to go perspective. I've had the 1/2 chicken every time I've been and not once has it not been delicious. The chicken is seasoned well enough and juicy. I enjoy white and dark meat on chicken so I get regular with some of both. The 1/2 chicken comes with 2 small sides and that is an area that's been up and down to me. Of the sides they offer, I've tried the French fries, chaufa (which is a fried rice), sweet plantains and yucca fries. The French fries were definitely just frozen fries and weren't done in a way to stand out to me. I had never heard of chaufa but knew I liked fried rice so I ordered it. The first time I got it I didn't realize it had meat in it and spit it out, not because it wasn't good but because I didn't know what kinda meat it was. As many Asian based fried rices often use pork, I thought it might be pork as well, which I don't eat. I couldn't get ahold of the restaurant and Googled that chaufa is usually made with chicken and since it looked like chicken I ate it. Happy I did because that chaufa is solid. The sweet plantains are another skipable dish to me. They're okay but that could just be me because I would've preferred them fried with some crisp to them. The yucca fries are another win to me. I hadn't had yucca fries before but they were a solid start to me. I've tried the tequeños and I'm glad I did. This little cheese bites were a nice pop of flavor that complimented the meal. They have 3 main sauces, which are yellow (mild), green (medium spicy) and red (spicy). The sauces go well with the food and have very subtle flavoring to me. Personally the flavors between the sauces isn't distinct enough for me to really tell the differences between them. Though that's the case they are still good. From a service standpoint they are polite and helpful. The inside of the restaurant has been clean and welcoming when I've forget l gone. Eating here may very well have been my first time having Peruvian food and I'm happy to say that it has been a good experience. I wouldn't call this the most outstanding flavors but I feel they are more than just good, especially for the price and the amount of food you get. I look forward to my next bite here and trying more of their menu.
