    Hot chicken on coleslaw!
    Lawrence M.

    The coleslaw bowl was something. I saw on yelp this Nashville chicken eatery had a bowl with the chicken on top, that set it apart from other chicken places. Sure we've had chicken fries, chicken nachos, and even chicken on cauliflower. But coleslaw sounded different. The ordering experience was fine. Looks like there was training going on but hey everyone needs love customers to train on right? It did take a while to get the food. So we know it's fresh? Keeping an eye out that door dashers didn't take my bowl! When the food finally came they just put it on the counter, they didn't call out the numbers. So don't get lost I your phone or you may miss your window of hit chicken. Restaurant was moderately clean. Bathrooms needed attention. And the fixtures had this, shall we say, odd configuration. I was a little hesitant to wash the grease off my hands in that sink. Would I be back? Maybe, if I'm in that area. But probably wouldn't make a special trip here. The dry slaw wasn't worth going out of my way.

    The flavors were perfectly balanced for each of our bowl. The mac bowl was creamy and not overwhelmingly cheesy, with the fries seasoned perfectly. The salad consisted of plain coleslaw with a handful of pickles, which helped me reach my goal of not feeling bloated after. I consider the Medium heat spice on the chicken to be just right for someone that appreciated spicy, considering it 6-7/10 for intensity. The chicken had a balanced amount of crispness and softness. Great quick service, spacious seating area, and lots of parking outside. Very clean. Would definitely come back.

    Seen this place on Insta a couple of times. I got the Combo #2 (~$16, which is pretty affordable). The fries were very crispy, even after I got home but the chicken wasn't very crispy. Maybe it's more crispy if I ate in the store but I wouldn't know. Everything was good though.

    Everything was well seasoned and their sauce had a nice tanginess to it, but the chicken in the sandwich was ever so slightly on the drier side. I'm not greattt with spice so I got mild, but it wasn't giving any spice at all so I definitely could've leveled up. Nothing to write home about imo, but still a decent spot for spicy halal chicken.

    First time I went to Chikin Drip tonight, and I was not let down. There was one big issue, but the food and service were so good, I'm still going to give them 5 stars. Upon entering, I was greeted by a lovely woman who gave me and my wife detailed info regarding the spice levels. The menu reminded me of a few other chicken places I frequent, but tasted better in more ways than one. The restaurant was very clean, and the members of staff were all great. As we ate, we were discussing the food, and wondering if the woman who first greeted us was the owner. She took our order while wearing a purse, and walked out right after, so we assumed she was in a position of authority. About 5 minutes after she left, the most obnoxious song began playing on the speakers at full volume. We could no longer hear each other speak. We assumed the employees were enjoying some music since the owner/manager is gone now. I have nothing against that, they have a tough job and 1 song is no big deal. Then another obnoxious song, followed by another, and another. By the time they played the 5th obnoxious song in the same genre at full volume, we decided to leave. All I can say is that whoever created that playlist may need to explore some other genres of music. Every song sounded like somebody banging on a trash can while under the influence of bath salts or suffering from withdrawals of bath salts. I'm still giving the restaurant 5 stars, but I want the owner to know what's going on behind their back. It seems like the employees do what they want once they're left alone. That's a recipe for disaster and can affect other aspects of your business. It shouldn't be overlooked that they all gave great service, irregardless of the abuse they put me and my wife through with their music.

    I have never been to this place before. I just thought I was going be another chicken fast food trying to be like the next.. I will say it's not your average chicken nugget/strip. There was sample parking. The place is big and a lot of seating in the dining room. There's some fun art on the wall. They had a really fun sports car out front with their logo on it. We placed an order and the food was made fairly quickly. My son ordered the combo with a sandwich and a tender medium spice with extra sauce and fries. I wanted to taste it so I ordered a chicken tender with mild spice. My son Mukbang it. The chicken tenders are huge. Both meals the seasoning was red was hardly any more spicy than mine. If he likes spice I'd say go more than medium for sure. I think I'll try hot next time to get a little kick. The french fries were yummy and crunchy and seasoned. My side order of the chicken tender came on a piece of like Texas toast or something like that was delicious. It's a little bit like raising Cane's. However- I'd say it's a little bit better than raising Cane's because it has less batter and more spice. If that's your thing then you'll like this place. We will go back to this place. It was good.

    This place was good but not much to be memorable. I am forsure biased because i like angry chicks better. This place has decent food but not much in terms of flavor. The spices shine through hut besides that, i couldnt really figure out why i would want to come back. That being said, i think people should give this place a try and let me know if i am being too harsh

    Located by San Jose Airport, parking is plentiful and easy to find. Seating is also very abundant. The noise level is quiet-average. Combo #4 comes with 2 sliders and fries. Off the bat the fries were so delicious. They were super crispy and flavorful. The sliders were also so yummy too. The buns were crispy without being too dry. The chicken was tender. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Chikin Drip is a delicious chicken place. The fries are second to none and service is quick.

    Yum! If you're craving a hot chicken sandwich, this is a great place. The cashier described the medium spice to be similar to hot cheetos but I think it's a bit spicier. I can eat really spicy and I think medium was the perfect level for me if I don't want to sweat. Their spice also has a bit of sweetness to it which really enhanced the flavor. Also if you add cheese to your sandwich, they don't melt it. There's lots of tables and parking available. Def somewhere I'd come back to.

    Me and my family always prefer Chikin Drip for the quality of food and best HALAL chicken in town. But the service was received by the staff @530 Newhall Dr (San Jose Airport) on the night of 4th of July, was definitely disappointing. The slider, tender and fries were all cold and I didn't appreciate the fact that when I told the guy at counter, he gave me new fries but that's all. He ignored the fact that the rest of the order was not made fresh and questioned me whether I was telling him the truth. I let him know that I was not happy with spending money with them at this location and receiving such poor service and was going to reflect my frustration on Yelp, he shrug his shoulders and said "okay. So this is for the crew of that night. If management is going to review this for quality of service.

    Plenty of parking in this plaza. Nicely air conditioned inside, except for the bathrooms. Service took a little long to order and to receive food despite the restaurant being almost empty. Both the mild and hot chicken seemed spicier than what I am used to. Flavor was okay, but a little too salty to enjoy. Chicken itself was juicy. Fries were decent. The secret sauce tasted too much of mayo.

    The medium spicy is very delicious. They added dry spice to the fries which I didn't like as much. I was looking forward to eating my fries with ketchup but instead the spicy fries went well with the side sauce. Just a preference though. The sauce was really great I enjoyed pouring it over my chicken. The service was fast, plenty of seating and very clean inside.

    Not a fan of the smell but I got the pickle coleslaw salad and it was crazy good! Music is loud.

This is their current location, but I don't think it's their permanent place of business. Just for the time being. Google maps will take you to a parking lot entrance that's closed, blocked by a chain, so make sure you enter the parking lot on Locust Street. I ordered online, and the wait time was a bit long (20+ minutes) but not terrible. And once you arrive, there's a sign near the parking lot directing you to walk down an alley-like path. No signs at the door, just a dumpster outside. Yup, that's where you pick up. It feels like you're walking through the back door of a restaurant kitchen. Actually when you step inside, it indeed IS the kitchen which doubles as a pickup spot (no seats, no signs, I just showed the guy my order on my phone and he handed me my food packed neatly in a paper bag). I got the perro loco which comes with fries on the side, and an arepa with cheese. I didn't like that customers can't customize items when ordering online for pick up. Also wasn't a fan of the pineapple sauce, though I think that's one of the things they're known for. But the hot dog was still good, generous with the toppings and certainly unique. The sausage was plump and juicy with a mild flavor. The fries were delicious as well, and didn't taste cheap. And the mini arepa with cheese was buttery and had a nice texture. Altogether it made for a filling meal.

The menu is extensive with a mix of options (including a vegetarian burger). I ordered El Apto which came with a beef patty, bacon, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato...all between a brioche bun. This came with fries and a side of pineapple sauce and apto sauce. I dipped my fries in the apto sauce and it was so good! The pineapple sauce goes well in the burger and also on the fries. The beef patty was perfectly seasoned and so juicy. All the flavors were amazing and tasted so fresh. I loved the crispy bacon and the shredded chicken. The chicken was well flavored and they put an ample amount on top of the burger. Wow! What a great combo. I also tried the maracuya (passion fruit) drink and it was so good! I like that it wasn't too sweet. It's fresh and refreshing. They are pretty busy because it's their opening so there might be a wait but it's totally worth it. There are tables around for you to sit so it's casual. The owner is so nice and you can tell he is very proud of his food. Highly recommend!!

The inside was clean, but the seating was sparse. However, the outside seating was very good, and a great place to people watch. My only real complaint is the medu ordering screens were hard to navigate, since the only place to "grab" the screen for scrolling was over easily clickable burger options, so going through the customisation list was like accidentally ordering MANY toppings I did not want and then having to carefully go back up and unselect them and then try not to re-select them on the way back down. So, in light of that, I would recommend ordering from the super friendly counter person instead.
