    Brazilian chicken
    Mika M.

    So good! I got the Brazilian chicken. The chicken was packed with flavor. It was also tender, Juicy and had lot spice in it. The portion size was also huge. I recommend trying the the mango lassi which also comes in nice generous sized cup. It's in between a medium and large size. It's super creamy, mangoy and has touch of cinnamon.

    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
    Andy L.

    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
    Gerald L.

    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.

    Kristine J.

    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.

The cornbread comes with the platter. Ribs were St. Louis style with the bits of cartilage at the end that I really love to chew on. Meat was delicious and fall off the bone. Bbq sauce is ok the sweet side by balances well with a few drops of hot sauce. Portions are very health. The beans were delicious and almost reminded me of chili. Mac and cheese was on point. Overall I highly recommend checking them out. Whether you are in the area or just looking for a great bbq joint in the bay, Jackie's place won't disappoint. For the vegetarians, try their jackfruit "pulled pork" bowl! Also their desserts selection is amazing. Will have to come back to try their peach cobbler and lemon pie!

We ordered the goat curry, mac and cheese, mixed veggies, collard greens, vegetable curry, beef patty, and two orders of fried cornmeal bread... all for a family of 3 (the 3rd human being a 14 month old hahaha). I thought I can give the baby the vegetable curry, but it turned out to be too spicy so hence why we got the mac and cheese and plain mixed veggies. Everything was fire! Maybe with the exception of the collard greens because that tasted like it was cooked in tabasco or something. Their juices were good too! Portions are generous. Luckily, we had leftovers to enjoy the next day. The beef patty was yummy, but I do wish it came with some type of dipping sauce. All the dishes tasted authentic, I felt like I was back in Jamaica. Everything comes in to-go containers which is convenient. They provide paper plates if you want to dine there. The restaurant is maintained well and clean. I hope they expand across East Bay area as it seems many of their locations are mainly in South Bay/Peninsula.

You order at the counter, get a number, pick where you want to sit, and they bring the food to you. Even before my food came out, I noticed a weird, unpleasant sour smell in the air while sitting down. The food came out pretty fast and the prices were pretty fair, but overall the food quality wasn't great. Grilled Grass Fed Steak - $22.99 Rating: (3/10) It hurt a little when I ordered and the cashier at the front didn't ask me how I wanted the steak cooked. They even ask at Chili's how you'd like your steak done. The steak was cooked medium (a bit overcooked for my liking) and was pretty dry toward the side pieces. I also think there needed to be a bit more seasoning variety than just salt and pepper, since it tasted pretty bland. The fries were okay, a bit too salty and under fried. A lot of the bites I had were filled with massive salt crystal chunks. But the real meal and dish killer was the brussels sprouts. First off, it looked nothing like the pictures on the website. The brussels sprouts were way undercooked. The balsamic dressing was unpalatable, purely a bad balsamic vinaigrette, overwhelmingly harsh with a throat burning sourness that overpowered the dish rather than balancing it. It also tasted like sugary corn syrup mixed with harsh vinegar, coating veggies in a sticky, cloying film. Looking back, that pungent vinaigrette could be what I was smelling in the air before my food even came out.
