    Starting the year right Delivery has been the highlight of this year given COVID is still spreading like crazy out there. One of our favorite places for takeout has been Chicken Paddy! Here's what we recommend: - Soy Garlic Chicken Plate South East Asian inspired chicken braised in a sweet, garlic, soy-based, marinade. Sautéed with bell peppers and onions, served with garlic onion rice, 2 eggs, and fried garlic - Chicken Tikka Masala Plate Grilled chicken served in a spiced curry cream sauce, with cilantro lime rice and green onions Chicken Paddy is operated via ghost kitchen at 949 Ruff Drive, San Jose, California 95110, United States everyday from 11:30AM - 8:30PM Follow my food instagram for more recommendations in the Bay Area! @duyoufeelhungry

    Mushroom cream chicken
    Della S.

    I have to echo the other reviews that the portions are really big! All of their chicken entrees are $16 and come with rice and vegetable sides. I tried the mushroom cream chicken which came with rice, garlic sauteed spinach, creamed corn, and spicy green beans with asparagus. There was a lot of food and it could probably feed 2 or even 3 people. The chicken was flavorful and not dry at all. Even the vegetables were great-- each side had its own unique flavor profile. The green beans and asparagus had a good kick to them. My favorite would have to be the creamed corn though! The corn was super sweet while the creamy sauce delivered a zesty, tangy punch of umami. Highly recommend checking out this place! It operates as a ghost kitchen with a bunch of other pickup/takeout/delivery spots near the airport. There aren't a lot of places to sit nearby.

    Soy Chicken Plate

    Diamond in the Ruff - literally on Ruff drive in shanty town. This was my first time at a ghost kitchen. Ordering was easy on a simple menu, and yes, the portion sizes are large. I was honored to meet the owner and silent partner(?), and they were loads of fun to chat with. I had the chicken mushroom plate - thought the chicken and rice and Korean corn was good but the spinach was inconsistently vinegary with different bites. I also had the soy chicken plate - nice savory marinated chicken on rice with a double fried egg. I liked this better because there was no sides and didn't change my palate. Chris - I'm looking forward to Bun Me Up!

    I ordered Chicken Paddy's Chicken Mushroom plate at the ghost kitchens of Ruff Drive, and it did not disappoint. I was blown away by the great quality and huge portion. The rice plate consisted of chicken and sliced mushrooms in a butter cream sauce, a hefty helping of white rice, sautéed spinach and cherry tomatoes, and a side of creamed corn. The plate was tasty and flavorful. Each component was honestly good standalone, but they also complimented the overall dish. The chicken was juicy and tender, and I enjoyed the sautéed spinach and creamed corn. The creamed corn was particularly unique. I look forward to trying their other dishes. I had the pleasure of meeting the guys behind Chicken Paddy, who also own Bun Me Up. They are super nice and friendly, and it was cool learning about their background in the restaurant business.

    Ever had food so EGG-cellent that you can't stop thinking about it? That's how I feel about these chicken + rice dishes from Chicken Paddy - not only are they absolutely loaded, but I love how deliciously unique and elevated every dish was! Here's what I tried: Soy Garlic Chicken plate: South East Asian inspired chicken braised in a sweet, garlic, soy-based, marinade, sautéed with bell peppers and onions, and served with garlic onion rice, 2 eggs, and fried garlic. Loved how comforting this plate was, and how much it reminded me of my mom's signature home-cooked meals! Personally found the meat in this one a bit tough, but I definitely think it was a fluke/off day since my other plates were fine. Turkish chicken plate: Turkish style chicken marinated in a yogurt herb mix, grilled to order, and served with cilantro lime rice and bbq glazed vegetables with a side of Tzatziki sauce. I loved how refreshing this dish was, especially with the yogurt-based Tzatziki sauce, but definitely don't sleep on how flavorful and tangy the BBQ glazed vegetables are! Highly recommend this dish with how balanced the flavors are! Chicken tikka masala plate: Grilled chicken served in a spiced curry cream sauce, with cilantro lime rice and green onions. The Tikka Masala sauce wasn't the most authentic, but I loved how this dish combined such beautiful fusion flavors, with a decent kick of spice! If you haven't tried Chicken Paddy yet, definitely (s)WING by and CHICK them out at their ghost kitchen location at 949 Ruff Drive in San Jose, and support and Asian owned and operated business!

    Mushroom chicken, sweet corn, greens, and rice

    Really good. Ghost kitchen. Seemed sketch at first driving there but it's a pretty public location. The guy who took my order was super nice. Explained the different foods. Talked up their sister restaurant. Mushroom chicken is what they're famous for so had to try it. And was not disappointed. So good!! Chicken tikka masala also good. Portion size decent. Seemed huge at first sight but it's so good you devour it quickly. I'd like to try more dishes.

    came here for a yelp event. so happy i was able to try this place! ordering was super easy, and payments via venmo. i already looked at the menu so i ended up getting chicken mushroom and chicken tikka masala (spicy). both of these dishes were so delicious! and that corn... mmmm mmm! i wish i ordered an extra side of corn! mushroom chicken was just the right amount cream, not overwhelming at all. as for chicken tikka masala, it was so good too. def get it spicy! love that kick! i would def come back here for both dishes with extra side of corn! :)

    This was a unique experience because Chicken Paddy is part of a cloud kitchen. They do have some outdoor dining spots available, which was nice for a quick sit down lunch. I could also imagine it being convenient to order with friends if everyone wants something different. Chicken Paddy's menu itself features a bunch of chicken and rice bowls with different ethnicities. I tried the Tikka Masala bowl. I would say the food was good but not super authentic. This isn't the usual thick creamy buttery Tikka masala you'd expect, but a bit more tomato-y. I liked the cilantro rice but the chicken was slightly dry (fwiw though, the chicken in my wife's mushroom cream dish was not). The overall dish was not super heavy and it felt like a good meal when you're looking for something simple and quick. Overall, I would say this food was good but not great. The variety of styles is nice when you're ordering with a big group. Definitely feels more like a meal for someone ordering dinner every night than a foodie looking for the next big hit.

    Jared S.

    The Brazilian and Soy Garlic plates are definitely a go-to! There's a nice balance of flavor from the garlic fried rice, to the extras in each bowl. I loved the grilled peppers in the Brazilian plate and my boyfriend thought the seasoned egg tied the Soy Garlic together. It reminded us of asian comfort food from home. The pick-up process was super fast and easy through the onsite locker. And the portion sizes are very generous too - Instant food coma worthy! Can't wait to come again and try the drinks too!

    Ask the Community - Chicken Paddy

    Is Chicken Paddy only open for lunch and not dinner?

    We're open for dinner now! Check out our updated hours!

    Are there any vegetarian or vegan options available for the main entrees?

    Yes, our Crispy Tofu plate is our vegetarian option. It does contain egg however. When some entrees get depleted we temporarily remove them from the menu until restock which is why you don’t see it on there today.

    Love Scratch Cookery. This is what a Nashville hot chicken sandwich is supposed to be…read more Unlike a lot of the chains like Dave's where it can basically feel like a chicken tender thrown into a bun, Scratch serves a huge, thick piece of actual chicken breast. The portions are serious, the chicken is juicy, and the breading has a great crunch. What really sets them apart for me is the spice. I've had levels 3, 4, and 5, and they're not simply the same seasoning with progressively more heat. Each level actually has a different pepper profile and flavor. Level 3 brings cayenne and Thai chili, level 4 moves into Thai chili and habanero, and level 5 adds habanero and ghost pepper. You can taste the difference, not just feel more burn. The seasoned fries are great too and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. It is a little pricey for a chicken sandwich and fries, but when you see the size and quality of what you're getting, I think it's worth it. Scratch is easily one of my favorite hot chicken spots.

We ordered level 1 and it was flaming hot. Even level 0 has a kick, so I'd recommend going one level lower than you normally would. The curly fries were also great. Overall, a solid 4/5. The only star off was for the spice-level calibration. Great food and portions, and we'll definitely be back!

    This place has been on my list for a while now…read more I called for a to-go order on 4/12/26 and got the Kao Gai Sap and fried chicken skins. When I came by, there wasn't really any other patrons there so picking up my food was easy. Inside was very decorative too, it has that mom-and-pop vibe to it. Kao Gai Sap (5/5) - The chicken was soft and juicy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. It came with a chili dipping sauce, and I opted for white rice instead of chicken rice. This has to be by far the BEST chicken I've ever had. The chicken was seasoned to perfection. Cucumber was crisp and refreshing, although I do wish there were a few more slices. Would definitely order this again. Also, this Kao Gai Sap also came with a small portion of soup which was also equally as good! When you order this, make sure to ask for it LAAB STYLE! Crispy chicken skin (5/5) - I mean it's fried chicken skin, but I'm pretty sure they used the same salt/pepper seasoning on this as they did with the Kao Gai Sap, which gave it a nice flavor profile as opposed to being plain. The lemon-pepper dipping sauce was the perfect pairing with the chicken skin. The lemon flavor was there as well as the pepper, but both were very mild and didn't overpower each other. That dipping sauce made a HUGE difference. ALSO GET THIS LAAB STYLE! Will definitely be coming back because I'm hooked now. No one does chicken like Tuk Tuk!

Service is quick, and the staff are friendly. Ordering is self-service, and the chicken feet come pre-packaged, so they're ready pretty quickly.

As much as I love the deep fried, stewed, saucy dim sum chicken feet, I grew up eating chicken feet akin to the ones at Kickin flavors, so I was thrilled to check them out. They are located next to a Ranch 99 in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. The store is small but clean and cute. There is a display case with all the chicken foot flavors, pre-packaged. The man working there was very friendly and allowed me to sample all the flavors. I tried the Thai, the spicy, and the garlic, and ended up going for the garlic (though the Thai was a close contender!) The chicken feet are cut into smaller pieces and deboned quite well. The garlic flavor is pungent and refreshing; I definitely needed mouthwash after eating it though! The flesh is crunchy and flavorful, just super super satisfying. Overall, the chicken feet here are quite well made and prepared. I think the price is a bit steep but you definitely get what you pay for. As someone who likes deboning the chicken feet myself, it did feel like I was missing that 2% to take this place to the next level. I would love for them to also offer bone-in chicken feet at a slightly lower price, I would totally go for that!

The rice itself is also delicious because it's flavored with chicken broth! Chicken Meets Rice is a solid spot for a balanced meal. While I've only tried this place through DoorDash, it seems that this place receives many to-go orders.

    Chicken and rice dishes--whether Hainan chicken, khao man gai, or similar variations--are some of…read moremy favourite meals, so after moving nearby, I knew I had to give this spot a try. I ordered the 50/50 plate with both poached and grilled chicken. The poached chicken was soft and paired really well with the ginger-scallion sauce. The grilled chicken, however, was quite dry. I also found the chicken rice less fragrant than what I'm used to and a little dry as well, although the soup was good. The portion also felt smaller than expected for the price. Overall, there were both pros and cons, but it's still worth trying. I'd likely come back for the convenience when I'm craving chicken and rice but don't want to travel too far.
