    Deluxe Chop Chop
    Christian R.

    I've been to this restaurant before, it has very simple, but delicious lunch/dinner items. I ordered the Deluxe Chop Chop meal--Grilled Chicken Breast with lettuce and tomatoes served over yellow rice. Again, simple but delicious. They have fountain and bottled drinks available with your meal and they also have a variety of sauces you can top your food with, I went with Spicy Cilantro Ranch. It was DELICIOUS!! The staff were really nice and hospitable and there is plenty of seating inside. If you're looking for a healthier lunch option, good portion sizes all for a good price, this place is it!

    FOOD? 8/10 - portions & food quality is both great! SERVICE? 8/10 - super quick & helpful! AMBIANCE? 5/10 - not meant to be a place of ambiance - instead, a quick eatery. Man, this place is UNDERRATED! Absolutely fantastic bowls that are equivalent (or better) to that of Chipotle.

    Came to chicken kitchen while in rice village after seeing it boast "healthy" on the sign. This wasn't first time and I was promptly greeted. It appears they have chicken lol, served in the form of dinners, salads and their most popular bowls. I ordered the Mexican Chop-Chop which has Freshly grilled chopped breast with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, & cheddar cheese over yellow rice. It was very good and the portion size was very large. The price point is also very reasonable. I enjoyed the flavors and will certainly be back to try other items

    My friend put me onto Chicken Kitchen a few months ago and I've been coming here a few times each month. From a student's perspective, there's really not a better option if you want a good cheap meal that's gonna fill you up and not make you feel gross after like fast food. The folks that work here are super kind and they also make everything super fast. I've waited 4x longer in the Whataburger drive thru for a cold burger. The best items to get in my opinion are the Cuban or the Oriental Chop Chop. The Chop Chop is like their version of a rice bowl and it's an incredible amount of food for the price. Chicken is never dry and rice always cooked perfectly. They have a spicy cilantro sauce which honestly could go great on anything. The mashed potatoes are also homemade and taste delicious. They have a discount for Rice students which is always nice to see. Can't wait to go back!

    I ordered on grub hub. I've never eaten here before today. I ordered the 1/2 of a chicken plate with two sides. I got mashed potatoes, and plantain. The food had great flavor except for the styrofoam taste that went into the mashed potatoes and pita bread. Next time I'll get the salad instead of the mashed potatoes. When getting it delivered. Will be returning when I'm craving chicken again!

    Despite the not so flattering pics on yelp, Chicken Kitchen dishes out some yummy and satisfying fare. When they say "Chop Chop," think tender, succulent bite-sized chicken pieces layered over your choice of rice or salad bowl. The rice comes in white, yellow (almost a bit too salty but savory and delicious), and brown (for an up-charge). They come in varieties like Teriyaki, Cuban, and their original, and are accompanied by 2 of their signature sauces (or 3 if you order a large). The salad bowls are chopped up romaine, and if you drizzle on the sauce, cover the bowl with the lid, and shake, you have a stellar mixed salad :) We had these delivered overnight while on call at the hospital, and the large comes in a generous portion that's perfect for snacking on in the wee hours of the morning when the munchies hit. For the price around $7for regular and $8 for large sizes, Chicken Kitchen is a great bang for your buck! Although not the first place I'll pick if I'm making a point to eat out, I'll be back for something if I'm searching for something quick and satisfying!

    Was driving around rice village one night and needed to make a quick decision for a casual to-go dinner. Ended up at Chicken Kitchen and decided to grab something here since it's been a minute since I've been here last. The restaurant is a Chipotle/cafeteria style chicken place. You pick a prefixed menu item or order as you go down the line. The bf opted for the large Mexican style chicken over rice and I opted for the Cubano! You can also get it as a wrap or salad! First the type of rice - white, brown, yellow and then they top it with grilled chicken! Funny cause they actually chop it up and then measure it out so you get an actual cup of chicken. The bf ordered first and they literally measured the cup and did put out the last few pieces of chicken in from what they already chopped. He was so disappointed. They then chopped up the chicken for my bowl and measured it out and decided to give me the rest that was leftover. Top with lettuce, tomatoes, a pita and your choice of sauce. The spicy cilantro sauce definitely made the dish. The chicken was juicy and it was a good, healthy, filling dinner. I enjoyed it - especially for the price and it being a quick fast food option. Bf said he prefers Chipotle and thought it was just ok - I agree only because it wasn't anything fancy or special.. you get grilled chicken, rice, lettuce and tomatoes and lots of it. Without the sauce, it would've been pretty bland on its own.

    Chicken kitchen is consistently yummy and worth the price. We ordered several times this week because they are now on DoorDash and they have many healthy options. If you haven't tried chicken kitchen and you think chipotle is the best that it gets when it comes to a salad bowl, think again. My only wish is that they had hummus for the pita bread. There are so many chop chop bowls to try and other menu items and the chicken breast is always flavorful and moist.

    I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of wing flavors they offer here. There are…read morea lot of options on the menu and it honestly took me a minute to decide. I'm a pretty big wing fan, so I was excited to try this place out. They have a list of their top flavors posted right in front of where you order, which made it a little easier to narrow things down. I ended up picking two from that list. I went with the garlic parmesan wings and the lemon pepper buffalo since those seemed to be two of the more favored options. I was slightly disappointed because with the amount of flavors they have, the sauces and rubs were good, but the wings themselves were not cooked crispy. They were a little on the softer side and slightly undercooked for my taste, which is why I ended up deducting a star. If the wings had been fried a bit longer and had that crispy bite, this probably would have easily been a five-star experience for me. I ordered inside and the customer service was really good. The staff was friendly and my food came out pretty quickly, which I appreciated. Flavor-wise everything was solid, so the potential is definitely there. I also snapped a picture of the menu because they run different specials throughout the week. Unfortunately I came on the weekend, so I wasn't able to take advantage of any of the weekday deals. The wings are a little pricey, but honestly that seems to be the going rate for wings these days. If I come back, I would probably just ask for the wings and fries to be cooked a little longer so they come out crispier. I'd also be curious to try more of the flavors since they have so many. I may stop by on their $0.87 wing day just to sample a few more and give them another shot. Overall, not bad

    These are easily the most delicious wings I've had in a LONG time. 87 flavors is ridiculous but I…read morewant to try them ALL. I didn't catch the name of the gentleman at the front but he was super easy going, professional and patient with us while we decided why to get since it was our first time. The inside reminded me of a place in Austin where there's signatures from everyone who's visited on the inside, it's small and not a lot of place to sit there's like 5 seats but it's still chill to eat there if you fit, will absolutely be back!

I ordered fried okra, a fish taco and fries. Fries are a miss, I don't like the breading, fish taco was good and the okra was absent of seasoning. The chocolate cake taste as though it came off the sodeco truck was defrosted and covered with candied pecans. I can skip dessert next time. I guess a positive was they atleast serviced it with blue bell vanilla ice cream. Now less than great food but I'd definitely come back for the venue and or the bar.
