    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
    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.

    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.

We had the seafood gumbo, not too spicy, but spicy enough and it was good with big portions of seafood and sausage with a scoop of rice over it. Ordering was easy we scanned a barcode put in our order and got our food within 10 minutes. Great customer service very clean and while we were eating, we could see that the employees put a lot of care into cleaning the tables and seats. Plenty of parking in back very spacious. They have overhead fans, but no need to turn them on because the restaurant was cool and airy not stuffy or hot. The waiters or servers always checked up on us to make sure that we were OK and if we needed anything else. This restaurant knows what they're doing! Added to one of my fav spots!

Unfortunately, the experience ended up being pretty underwhelming. The first thing that surprised me was that every single topping on the burger costs extra. On top of that, I didn't even receive everything I ordered despite dining in. I had ordered chilis on the side and a drink, but neither was given to me until I specifically asked about them. When I asked for the chilis, the cashier told me they had run out and asked if jalapeños were okay instead. I ended up taking the jalapeños, but it was still disappointing considering I went well before closing hours. I also wasn't given my drink cup until I asked for it separately, which made the service feel pretty disorganized overall. The restaurant itself also didn't feel especially clean during my visit. What frustrated me most was that it genuinely felt like I would not have received either of the items I paid for unless I specifically asked for them. Between the missing drink cup and the missing side order, the whole experience came across as pretty careless and disorganized. The burger itself was ok. The patty had no crispy bits or any caramelization so the overall experience felt lackluster given the hype surrounding the place. Maybe I just caught them on an off day, but this visit definitely didn't live up to expectations. I'd consider giving them one more try in the future, though. I would rate the burgers a 2/5, sauce a 2/5 and the fries a 3/5.

I came here with a friend on a weekday for dinner and it was not packed at all. The atmosphere was very minimalist and clean, with a cute disco ball in the corner. This establishment requires you to order at the bar (makes sense it's a bar), and then they did you a number for the table so they can deliver your food. Any drinks you order they will make it right then and there for you to bring over. In terms of food, here is everything we ordered and my thoughts! *Deviled eggs: You would think since it's deviled eggs, there wouldn't be anything too special about them but I appreciated the small pops of salmon roe that added a nice textural play with the creamy eggs! * Bluefin tostada: Absolutely delicious with fresh tuna, paired with mango, on a crispy wonton chip. What a rich treat. * Arancini: The twist of fusion flavors was great. I love how the Japanese curry added a nice mix of umami, paired with the sharp creamy kimchi sauce. Definitely a favorite! * Pork belly: Pull apart, juicy, and tender! These paired actually really well with the arancini for a good balance of rice and meat. * Red miso crème brûlée: interesting sweet and salty flavor combination between the red miso and Madagascar vanilla. Not too overpowering tho. A lovely meal was had here!
