Amazing food for 20+ years! Never disappointed. Chicken kabobs have the best flavor. Service is fast and polite. Highly recommend!

My bad for falling prey to four year old reviews, Yelp needs to tighten their game up in terms of review defaults. Place is depressing, very tired, grimy interior and a parking so chewed up by construction that we parked in the Mexican food lot next door. Disappointing overall, $30 for weird ribs and half a chicken in a container which was topped off with rice ($hortcut). The beans tasted like they came from a one gallon can. And yes - 3 dinky triangles of pita was pathetic. Gave it 2 stars instead of one as the chicken seasoning was decent. Wish eateries in SLC took more pride in their quality but most places are focused on a cash grab. read more

Have been coming here since I was a little, they have new owners but this food is still just as good. I usually get mixed kabobs or their chicken but this day I went with the ribs and they were delicious! I love throwing a bunch of their salad dressing on my rice, it's so good! They are always fast with the food and service as well, definitely recommend! read more

The food overall is great, the main reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the quality of the chicken is inconsistent. I've eaten there several times and many times the chicken is very tender but sometimes it is dry and stringy. The last time I purchased two family meals for an event the chicken was very dry and stringy. read more

After new management food sucks! Chicken has no flavor. Rice is dry and no taste. White sauce tastes watered down. Used to eat this place for over 10 years with this new management taste horrible and price is expensive! read more

I've been coming here since I was a baby when we lived in Utah (my parents knew the owners as well and they were wonderful people). I have such fond memories here and +20 years later every time I visit from California I always make a stop here. I love their food - it's consistently delicious, fresh, and tastes the same every single time. I always get the chicken plate with half rice and salad and their chicken is always very tender and juicy. Their salad is always fresh and crispy and their rice is always always so fluffy and delicious. I love the yogurt side that comes with it too. I love this place so much and I always wish for it to operate. It's also a very healthy meal (depending on what you order of course) and it can be very balanced. It's on the smaller side so if it's busy you may not be able to find a seat but it's definitely worth the wait. It's very simple and relaxed inside the restaurant - that's how you can tell the food will be amazing because the main focus is on the food. I recommend this establishment every time I bring someone to Utah and when I'm in Utah. Kheyli khoshmazeh!!! 10/10 recommend!!! read more

Wow what happened here? My doordash delivery of my two chicken kabob rice combo sucked! The chicken was moist and delicious but bite size. Seriously downsize to a point it's comical. The chicken kabobs were small enough I could put a whole one in my mouth with rice and salad and still b able to chew comfortably. The rice was plentiful but didn't hold well as it blobbed together in the fridge. Two days later I still have left overs and that usually never happens from here so you know the food sucked. What a waist of money. Food was not like in pictures I took this time. read more

Because I have been eating here for 30 years, I've never left a review (as reviews weren't a thing when I first started coming here). Chicken express has been a staple for all of these years, with never a bad experience. I was surprised when the restaurant closed, but was delighted (although skeptical) when it reopened. Since reopening, I have visited fresh chicken express four times. There are some slight variations, but not all negative. I do prefer the rice they had before to the new recipe, but not enough to hurt my review. The food is always fresh and flavorful. And although the prices have increased (as they have everywhere), you definitely get your money's worth. The plates come out piled with delicious food! I believe that anyone who enjoys Greek bbq, you will be absolutely satisfied with a visit here. read more

The place needed a remodel 20 years ago and it's still waiting for that remodel. The chicken pieces have been getting smaller and smaller while the prices are going higher and higher. The rice is half cooked and not edible. Chicken was bland and not especially tasty at all. The salad is drenched in dressing and it's soggy. Save your money and skip on this dump. Over priced and low quality are what is being served here. read more

Well a friend referred this place to me. The fries were bomb and the kabob was a decent size, but the pita bread was too small but great if your watching your carb intake lol. I didn't wait to long for my food so that was good. The salad dressing I was not to much of a fan of. The staff was nice and patient and waited for me to decide on what I wanted due to the fact I have never been there before. Inside the place was very roomy, enough space for a good size crowd and was clean. There was plenty of parking. read more

This place has really good food. I have to eat GF so having all the extra rice they give is perfect because rice is my go to, leftovers or not. read more

3.5 stars for great chicken but everything else is pretty questionable. Nice service and good prices though

The food was edible but nothing to go out of your way for, especially if you're expecting flavorful authentic Mediterranean food. The pita bread was pretty bad compared to pretty much all other pita bread I've ever had, the rice was pretty plain with some seasoning sprinkled on top, the salad certainly wasn't close to any other Greek salad I've ever had but the ground beef kabob was decent and portion sizes were reasonable (although mostly rice). Maybe we're spoiled with options in Las Vegas but there's nothing that stood out here that would make me want to come back when I'm in Salt Lake City. I might try the sushi spot next door instead though. read more

This place is a small restaurant that is honestly pretty easy to overlook, as in I have driven past it a bunch and didn't notice it. I wish I had noticed it earlier because it was delicious! I got the chicken kabob plate and it came with a ton of food! The rice was also so so good. The staff was super friendly and helpful while we figured out what to get. I definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

I've been looking for good Mediterranean food in SLC since we moved here and mostly given up. But then I found Yelp reviews about Chicken Express! We finally got to trying it and my husband is still raving about it. I ordered the two chicken kabobs plate (only $8.25!!), which comes with a gigantic portion of flavorful rice, an iceberg salad with some kind of KILLER dressing, and pita wedges with a creamy garlic dipping sauce. The chicken was better than any I've ever had at a Mediterranean place - moist, full of flavor from being marinated in divine spices and tangy lemon, so good I wanted to lick the wooden skewer. My husband ordered the half chicken plate ($7.95 - such a killer deal!), which came with all of the above except pita/dipping sauce (you have a choice of rice, baked beans, or potatoes.) He liked the spices on my chicken better but was happy to devour his giant pieces of perfectly cooked chicken. Again, a gigantic portion of rice, which is good because you want to just drink that stuff, it's so good. He has quite an appetite and couldn't believe how big the portion sizes here are. And so affordable - all the plates are under $10. It was enough food that we could share with our hungry toddler and still have a whole container of leftover rice. No leftover chicken because that stuff is magical. And my husband practically drank the pita dipping sauce from my entree. No waste here. There was another customer who was the big, burly, construction type and I heard him ask for a box to take leftovers home too (!!) The service is quick and friendly and no-nonsense. Self-serve drinks, styrofoam plates, and plastic utensils. The restaurant isn't the cleanest (tables could use a good wipe-down and the floors needed to be swept but it wasn't too bad) so we'd probably do takeout next time, but there was a lot of business even early on a Thursday night. They have high chairs and booster seats for the kiddos and I saw one kid meal on the menu for $4.25. Some construction next door right now but there's still plenty of parking behind it. You need to check this place out. It's worth it. We are just counting down the days when we can enjoy their chicken again! read more

I really enjoyed this! The lemon rice is the best in town. The food is great for Greek food! Out of all the greek restaurants this is the best in SLC! read more

After years of coming here I should said it soo er. This place never disappoints! The chicken kebabs and gyro plate are couple of my favorites and rice is perfect. Love this spot ! read more

I have been here many times, and it has been excellent 100% of the time. I've never had a bad experience here, so I figured a review was over-due. That said, I do order the same thing every time, so - may I suggest: the half-chicken plate with rice, and a side of steamed potatoes. Because of their rice, my daughter now tries paprika on everything. We're all fans of this place in my family. read more

Delicious food!! I absolutely love the chicken, rice and potato combo! Salads are also so yummy. Highly recommend this restaurant!!

The service was very good. The food came out very fast and it was really fresh. Even though the dolmas we're not on the menu as a side dish we were able to get some. Definitely worth asking for. read more

I'm going to add to the reviews stating how huge the portions are. There's enough to be full for dinner and full for lunch the next day. I ordered the combination plate that comes with a chicken kabob, a beef kabob, side salad, rice, and pita bread. Both kabobs were super juicy but did find them a little but oversalted. The tzatziki sauce was refreshing and the rice was nice although slightly overcooked. The dressing on the salad was perfect. Overall I like that you can come to a clean restaurant and get food that doesn't break the bank or the diet. read more

Decent food, but there are better options in the area. They are only doing take out, so it might have something to do with shutdown and understaffed. But ground beef just taste like hamburger, bread and lamb gyro meat was dry. Rice was okay but not amazing. Maybe we messed up by buying everything but the chicken at a place called chicken express. Guy at the window was very courteous and order was correct other than not having any plastic ware or napkins. read more

I got the double chicken kabob. Fairly overpriced for what I got. Two small kabobs with way too much rice and two small pieces of pita. Neither rice or chicken was very flavorful. Not horrible but not great. read more

The best Greek food you'll eat in Salt Lake. This place has been around since I was a teenager and it's a local staple. The portions are very generous so you'll leave satisfied no matter what you order. My go to is the combination plate. Rice, chicken and steak kabobs and side of gyro. The best!! read more

Huge portions. Great presentation, cheap prices. Do not be fooled by the 4 star reviews, or the pictures of the food. BUT, food can definitely taste better. I had a combination of roast chicken and ground beef. Roast chicken looks well seasoned but the inside is kinda dry. The ground beef is okay to good but nothing to brag about, possibly the best thing on my plate. My hubby had mixed kebab of chicken and beef. The beef kebab was more like steaks on a stick. Had one bite of it and It was really hard to chew on, gave up chewing and spat it out. There are definitely better places in Salt Lake and this place is run down but it's clean on the inside. Not sure they have sufficient heating. We had out jacket on while we were eating. read more

One of the best value in Greek food in the Salt Lake area. Their meats are tasty and they pile up on the sides (rice and salad and beans). For around $7 a plate, guaranteed you will be full. The owner is cool and he seems to remember everyone who dines in. The place gets super busy during lunch so expect to wait for tables. read more

Via word of mouth I'd heard there was a restaurant called Chicken express owned (or allegedly) owned by some middle easterners. We came in at 6 on a work day, restaurant seemed to be pretty full. Menu is pretty diverse with gyro and chicken sandwiches etc Anyways the building was small and not very comfortable or warming. But great good can help people forgot restaurant flaws. I ordered a quarter chicken with rice and salad. It was delicious!!! Loved it. Can't wait to get back and try other items. read more

Ordered 7 piece chicken tenders and all of them were old and even chewy. If you order from them, specifically request freshly made food. And check it first before leaving. CE Lake Forest Dr Mckinney, TX read more

I went for lunch a couple weeks ago and the chicken looked like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a couple hours. It was dry and tough. The rice lacked flavor almost like they forgot to add salt and just sprinkled some paprika on top. The salad was old and brown and it looked like mold was growing in the ice dispenser. I will not be going back. read more

Fast, friendly service and a clean environment. I didn't give it 5 stars because the chicken was dry, maybe if I ordered during lunch or dinner the chicken would've been fresher. The portions are extremely generous. read more

What a neat surprise! My coworker took me here to get a bite. Divey looking place but nice and clean inside. Well kept with a personal touch that makes you feel like you won't get this food other places. Got the combo plate to try a bit of everything and it was awesome! Chicken, beef, gyro meat, rice, bread and salad. Not one thing let me down on the plate. Tons of food for a very reasonable price. I'm excited to come back here and have it again. A must try in my opinion! read more

Quite simply, a great place to eat. Period. As with most Greek food in Salt Lake, it's pretty delicious with their perfectly cooked meats paired with rice, pita, and salad. The photos speak for themselves. With the State Street location and ample parking just north of their little restaurant, this is a good pick for lunch or for chit chat during late dinner. read more

You want some tasty delicious satisfying chicken, ribs & yellow rice? Then this is the place!

Chicken Express is located a block from the Century 16 Theaters on State St. I was recommended to this place by a Persian friend of mine. But I think the food over here is more Greek than Persian. If you like chicken kababs, then you should most definitely try the ones here. Their double chicken kabab plate is a real value for money meal. It comes with a garden salad, 2 skewers of chicken kababs, lots and lots of rice and a couple of pita pieces. That's a lot of food for just $8. Their baklava is pretty good as well. I can't say much about the other items. I almost always stick to the kababs when I am over here. It's more of a take-out place and they are only open until 8 pm, Mon. through Sat. read more

As Greek as a Taco Bell selling Teryaki Croissant sandwiches. GR Kitchen, Mad Greek, Greek Souvlaki, even Apollo Burger... all use "gyro cones" from 1 of 5 companies in Chicago. For meat, I prefer Grecian Delight, obtained by Nicholas Food. It tastes better than the cheap stuff. Anything taste's better than Arby's Gyro, but Chicken Express only barely. The sauce is the weakest part. It's not fresh yogurt, but a bottled sauce. Rojos at Smith's. Haig's at Harmons. These are different, but still use real yogurt. Greek owners would use real yogurt. Not bad, just not Greek. More like a dive that's a bit universal. read more
