Husband wanted to try this place. I wasn't to excited cuz I just didn't want to eat another sandwich, however, I actually really enjoyed it. The chicken is moist and flavorful. We ordered combo #2 - $14.99 for the kids. And combo #4 -$17.99 for husband and I. We also added a loaded Mac for $14.99. Each order comes with fries. We upgraded one of the fry order. It was plentiful for a family of 4. There was no wait time for us. You order in the counter and you pick up your order in the counter as well. The establishment is clean and I like the decor as well. They also have a drive-tru if you don't want to eat inside. It only got 4 stars because we had to send 1 of our fries back due to it not being upgraded to what we ordered. They fixed it right away. If we are in the area, we would not mind coming back here again. The kids liked it so that is a plus.

I love chicken sandwiches, and since I was craving one, my friends and I decided to go to Chikin Drip. We came about 9 pm on a Friday. Parking was easy, and the inside was spacious. The staff was nice, but the service was slow. It took them more than 30 minutes to get our orders ready; they were not too busy that evening. I ordered Combo #2 (one sandwich, one tender, and fries), medium spice. The food wasn't hot anymore when we got it, so it tasted okay. The meat was tender but a bit dry. I liked their secret sauce, though, as it adds flavor to the chicken. I will probably go back again to try their other menu items, but only if I am in the area.

Drip #2

Some may say, "why another halal chicken shop?" To that I say "WHY NOT?!" Visited the drive-thru on a Thursday night and they weren't too busy but the wait for our food seemed pretty long. It may have been because we were really hungry, but the wait was worth it and the staff was apologetic. I got the #2 with medium spice. It had a hot Cheetos type heat which was perfect for me. As you can tell from the photo, the first bite was a good one and made me realize how much I needed to write a review. They have a pretty solid menu and are a step above that other hot chicken spot in Union City.

My kids have been wanting to try this place so we made the drive over to check it out. Spacious dining area and employees are friendly. Menu was easy to navigate. We ordered the one slider one tender meal. Added a fountain drink and Mac and cheese. Fries were fresh and seasoned. Mac and cheese was creamy. Chicken was good but spice level was a lot hotter than what we ordered. So if we come back we may go one level lower. Chicken was tender and moist. Not as crispy as I hoped but it was good. Overall good meal and would visit again.

Combo #3 (13.99)
Victor G.

Chikin Drip opened 4 months ago where KFC once was. Interior renovated with new paint, murals, signs. Even a wall where patrons can autograph. Hip hop type music in background. Spacious inside with many tables. Drive thru and seating outside too. Lots of parking all around. Ordered at counter where I was serviced quickly & courteously. Food came within 10 minutes. Few patrons came and went during noon. Offerings (halal): chicken combos, loaded fries, salad bowl, loaded Mac, sides. Bites: Combo # 3, medium spicy (13.99) -crinkle cut fries & chicken tenders had a darkish tint, suggestive of overcooking, twice friedness. Outer texture had a hard crunch. -fries semi-dry innards, not flavorful. 2 Tenders moist but dry. 2 dipping sauces added some flava. Spiciness didn't register till hours later via gas & .... Coleslaw lack definition, bland. Overnight? Pickles crunchy, tart. Texas toast didn't disappoint. 3.75 stars: definitely an off day. Quality: off day. Q not up to par. Quantity: reasonable. Doubtful repeat.

"Dont judge the book by its cover" is what I was reminded of when I ate here. Hubby wanted to try it... so I yelped it. Lol I am really not a fun of chicken sandwich and most of the pictures I saw were not appetizing- the ones that looked dark and dry. We did still go to satisfy his craving. I ordered the non-spicy and he ordered the medium one. When our order came, I realized the dark color indicates how spicy it is and not how dry and burned the chicken were. Lol The chicken tenders were tender and juicy. And the french fries were delicious. Will go back but might just order the chicken itself and not the whole sandwich. Interior was spacious and decor was vibrant.

Delicious fries and juicy chicken!! We drove around for a late night dinner and decided to try this spot with drive through order. Honestly, we had low expectation but were pleasantly surprised by the quality. Price is definitely pricier than other fast food places, but the chicken is not dry and the fries are crispy + lightly seasoned with spice. Very good! We tried the hot level spice, which is quite a slow burn in a good way. But I think for the sake of my stomach, I'll try mild or medium spice next time lol.

Clean menu shot.

Will be coming back to try the Xtra Hot and Holy Chick. Decided to start at HOT which already contains ghost pepper. I got the hot tender and I got my wife the medium sandwich. She said that the medium wasn't that spicy (she can handle spicy tho). And for me the hot was a decent heat level and very enjoyable with some honey. I personally wouldn't get the mad again though. Didn't care for the flavor or the sauce texture. Just generic tasting. Looking forward to coming back and trying the Xtra Hot.

Combo #3. Hot and medium.
Razaa A.

This place hit the spot! I'd say very very similar to Dave's in terms of ambiance, menu, presentation, interior design, etc. Service was really fast and professional. 100% halal menu, which is great for those with dietary restrictions. I ordered the Combl #3, which was the two tenders with fries. Drink is not a part of the combo, which I find odd. I got medium and hot for the tenders. The hot was HOT. I can eat really spicy, and it was tough to enjoy so I would definitely recommend medium or below. The taste was awesome though, and I would much rather this place than Dave's, so I'll be back again soon.

I came here after being in the area. I wanted to try hella chicken spots. The place used to be a KFC, but it's cleaned up nice. I ended up getting tenders, fries, and mac and cheese. The sauce was good and the seasoning was good, not too salty. I think the stand out is the mac, the loaded mac will definitely be the go to next time. The service was good, they were quick, greeted me, and in general were personable.

Combo #1 no slaw or pickles medium spice hit just right !
Nataly G.

The drive thru line was super fast, and damn that food is fresh! Service is amazing. Only complaint is not coming sooner. Decided to go for combo #1 to keep it simple for my first time. I went with medium spice and was pleasantly surprised that I found myself reaching for my drink and coughing on that spice! Okaaaay I see yall! I will say I'm a weenie and would probably go for mild next time to see the difference. The chicken was incredibly juicy and so crispy and flavorful!! The fries are gorgeous! The spice they put on them makes them so beautiful and they give a real nice portion too! A little side cup of sauce hit so well to round it all together. I was also surprised drink wasn't included for the price but not a big deal. My only down was the side of Mac n cheese. She's pretty tiny and it wasn't as full body flavored as the sandwhich or fries. I would probably try the loaded Mac n cheese next time and maybe the flavor would be a little stronger there. Overall would 100% come back and the hours are amazing I would even come after a concert or a late night grub!

Restaurant was Clean and Brightly lit !! For All These Reasons!!! This Is A Baller On A Budget Approved Establishment!!! I keep my Pimp Hand Strong !!!!

Inside, very clean

First time trying Chickin Drip, and overall it was a good experience. The cashier was friendly and ordering was quick and easy. I ordered the #2 combo with a drink and paid $19.91. The fries were excellent -- crispy, flavorful, and even my son enjoyed them when I brought some home! The chicken was well-seasoned and not too salty, which I liked, though it was a little overcooked. The slider bread got soggy from the slaw, so next time I'll ask for it on the side. If and when I come back, it'll definitely be for the loaded fries -- yes, I'll come back for the fries and I think it's worth it.

See all

Stopped in for a quick bite before heading up to the city to catch a Warriors game, and there were a handful of people dining in. This location took over the old Pieology, and there was plenty of seating. I really liked the Fremont-centered decor on the walls; that's one way to connect with the local community! Given it was an early dinner, the two of us shared a #1 which consisted of 2 sliders and fries, and we tacked on an additional side of Mac and cheese to try it out. Chicken was meaty, not too dry, and well-seasoned without overdoing it. The Mac was also pretty good, and the fries were also seasoned, but nothing too special. The food took longer than I expected to be prepared, but we were kind of pressed for time so on a regular day it wouldn't have been too big a deal.

I mean it's so hard to detach the cheese, which is good news. Also, I didn't add spice because I want to try the original first before getting into the spice. Honestly, they should just keep that item in the menu rather than it being limited time if it actually is. I recommend you get it while you can before it's gone from the menu!

Definitely eat at the restaurant if you can because it quickly gets soggy and cold. I always get the 2 slider combo which comes with a side of fries and one of their special sauce. Their sauce is seriously so good and a must with their sliders plus a packet of honey for the sweet and savory combo. I also have tried their loaded buffalo Mac and cheese which comes with a bed of fries and chicken bites on top. Super good but can get quite salty. Overall, definitely an amazing spot for good chicken sliders and fries. I love a good kick so I get their extra hot and sometimes even reaper, which fills my spicy cravings. Only con is that service is inconsistent. Some workers are super nice and friendly while others seem annoyed and bothered. It's also usually really hot inside the store, surprisingly. Luckily the food is worth it to me.

Been to the Walnut Creek location and fell in love so my expectations were high for this spot!…read more Cool looking truck in a parking lot with plenty of parking next to a convenience store. I ordered a spicy chicken sando with Mac and Cheese and the side and the sando was EXCELLENT. Chicken Sando 10/10: Bread was soft and sweet, chicken was cooked perfectly all throughout which made it super soft and easy to eat. Wasn't messy at all. Definitely would order again Mac & Cheese 2/10: The seasoning on the Mac wasn't really good or there, it tasted almost watered down if I could put it into words? but the noodles were pretty good nevertheless. Wouldn't order it again unless it was cheesier and less bland? I'm sure it was just a one time thing though maybe with this batch. Parking 10/10 (not sure about busier hours) Service: 10/10 as well, the guys here are really nice and have great attitudes Food: 8/10

Sheesh, scary stuff and that was it for da ohana. My work team, on the other hand, still likes to go. Love the fries, that spice they use is kickin' and the sando is mouth watering. My big complaint is consistency. Order the medium every time and getting the right heat experience is almost like going fishing. Sometimes it's mild and chill, other times it's a scorcher, and once in a while, you smile and feel they got it right. For me that is key, I need to know what I am getting and they get it right maybe 30 percent of the time. For baseball, that is a decent ERA, but for food, nah that's not right. And then, every now and then, someone else gets there first and picks up our order. Not real big on the apologies or making sure peeps picking up the right bags. Cool lookin' truck, good food, when they get it right, and when our order is actually there for pick up, but miss the mark a bit too often.

They were short staffed that day and the owner was one man show. Really nice hardworking guy but the reason for the overall rating was I called ahead so my hungry kids wouldn't wait too long and it still took 40 minutes from when I called to our food being ready. The chicken thigh was also raw near the bone though I clearly heard the deep fryer timer starting and going off and feels like it needed 2-3 minutes. Original 804: Fresh Beef Patty, American Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Finished 804 Way. Tasted good, my kids said "better than Mcdonalds" and that's great because they love McDonalds. Chapli: Beef Patty mixed with traditional house blend spices, Tamarind Onions, Tomato, 804 Mint Chutney Sauce. Distinct unique taste, worth trying but we liked the more traditional burgers better. The Melt: Fresh Beef Patty, American Cheese. On a reverse toasted bun, the kids loved the size at this one looked. The kids loved this and totally destroyed every bite. Fried Chicken: The leg was OK but the thigh was raw in the middle. Stayed super, super hot and I liked the crispy skin and simplicity, unfortunate it was undercooked.

I stay up at night wondering how good the other items are and when will I ever get to try it. I live over 45 minutes away and was hoping the food would be average so I wouldn't have to make a trip out to eat it but it was amazing. Now I need more reasons to come out to Hayward...
