    So I saw this one on TikTok and could not resist trying it out myself because the reviews were flooding my social media. Like anyone would do, the wife and I went to check it out at the Irvine Spectrum. I ended up getting the half chicken plate and she got me the chicken shawarma wrap, which I think is called the Classic Bird on the menu. Let me get the vibe out of the way first. The staff seemed extremely busy, so there was not much time to talk with them or get any kind of interaction, which is totally understandable with how packed it was. Being at the Irvine Spectrum does not help either, it is crowded and loud, and it sits right next to the kids playground, so good luck out there, it is a bit of a nightmare. The good news is you can easily grab your food and enjoy it while walking around or driving somewhere else, which is what I would recommend. Now the food, because that is what makes it all worth it. The chicken plate was a solid size and honestly a good amount of food for the money. We were both shocked at how good and moist the chicken was, because chicken plates usually end up dry, but this was legit dripping juice even in a to go container. It had so much flavor and punch, and the skin was perfectly crispy, not crunchy, just crispy enough. Pair that with their garlic dip and it was amazing, honestly absolutely amazing. Then the shawarma, and I was in awe. Hands down the best chicken wrap I have had in a very long time. You get the crunch of the pita, the flavor and seasoning of the chicken, and then the garlic sauce on top, and yeah, just wow. I legit crave this place now and have yet to find another wrap this juicy and packed with flavor. Even with the chaos around it, I can absolutely recommend this to anyone. It is an absolute must and a 10 out of 10. Honestly the best chicken I have had next to Chicken Shop in Costa Mesa.

    Amazing rotisserie chicken, that's all I can say. They make one thing and they make it penalty perfect. The hardest part when making rotisserie chicken is the breast I think, it's so easy turn out very dry and flavorless, but not dizzy bird's. The seasoning and oil seeps into the breast and make it juicier than other chickens, plus dipping into their famous sauce, it was so yummy. My boyfriend said sometimes their breast could be little dry to chew but most of the time it's consistent. The sweet potato wasn't really sweet so I wish I got the pesto pasta, I saw the table next to us eating it, it looked delicious. Also I would try their corn on the cob next time, it's grilled fresh per order too. Plenty parkings nearby but it does get super crowded on the weekend since it's Spectrum. The place is not so big but it got some tables and the bar table too where you can watch them cook while eating. Pretty loud with so many people coming in and out and tables are very closely positioned next to each other. But the food is really good so I won't complain.

    I get the classic bird from time to time when craving it! I love that it's is grilled which makes the wrap super crispy on the outside with a good amount of chicken on the inside! The sauce pairs very well! It is pretty delicious overall but I would say that it is a bit dry. The atmosphere and service is pretty good as well! Overall, it hits the spot when you are craving it!

    I thought it was just okay. I ordered the two thighs meal. The wait was long which is expected at such a busy location inside the Spectrum. I didn't mind that part. But the food came out lukewarm which I did mind. I didn't love the flavor of the chicken, it definitely tasted like it was roasted but there was a lemony undertone which I wasn't too fond of. Probably won't come back but I can see why it's popular.

    Was very excited to try their rotisserie chicken! it was pretty juicy and tender and i tried their plate, bowl, and wrap the plate was very worth it with 2 chickens and 2 sides. loved the pesto pasta and their potatos the wrap was also pretty good and went well with their sauces. def worth a try with reasonable pricing

    Hot Bird

    I came into Dizzy Bird at the Irvine Spectrum and absolutely loved it! The menu is healthy, balanced, and delicious. The chicken is very tender and juicy with the best spice. My fiancé ordered the Hot Bird and I got the 1/4 chicken plate with the lemon garlic potatoes and pesto pasta salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. We both really enjoyed the meals we ate and can't wait to come back! The prices are also very reasonable, especially given the portion sizes. My only complaint might the seating which can feel a bit cramped when busy but it's definitely worth the visit for the food! Highly recommend.

    I have seen such great reviews and talk about Dizzy Bird and I visit the Spectrum quite a bit so I was set to go visit and see what the buzz was all about. When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon it was pretty busy, only a few seats were avail in the shade outside and it was full inside. People eat pretty quick though and I noticed after waiting a few minutes, people were able to find seats. We wanted to try a couple of different items so we go a bowl and we got a wrap. The food was ready in about 10 minutes or so, not too long of a wait. Maybe i'm in the minority but I didn't think it was that great to where I would want to go back again. The bowl had standard things that I didn't think were all that great like the cherry tomatoes, pita chips, lettuce. The chicken was moist and tender, I did like that and the wrap had a delish sauce I think its their dizzy sauce. But nothing really stood out to me. Maybe I would have to order just the chicken plate not the bowl. The food did taste very fresh and high quality, also the bowl seemed healthy, that's a plus!

    The food here is BOMB!!! Went today for the first time as my friend insisted that we go and I was blown away with how much I loved the food. I ordered the spicy wrap (with added lettuce and tomatoes) along with their special sauce and after just a few bites my tastebuds were in heaven. The wrap is absolutely to die for and I'd high recommend you try it when you get. It's messy, but don't let that stop you from chowing down. The chicken is incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful which is complimented by the crunch of the toasted wrap and all of the fresh ingredients inside. The sauce is super tasty with some zing and a nice kick which you have to try! I already can't wait to come back to get this again!!

    Was at the Irvine Spectrum and saw a line out the door for this place- I love Mediterranean food and I was excited to give it a try regardless of the wait, it took about 30 minutes for the food to come out on a busy day, a little hard to find seating because the store itself is pretty small, but there is plenty of seating outside of the store at the Spectrum. You can see the kitchen preparing the food from the register as well! We ordered the whole chicken which came with two sides and I think this one was my favorite because of how juicy the chicken was when I tore it open. We also ordered the chicken with the salad and a pineapple drink. Overall, I had a great experience and it was so yummy!

    Dizzy Bird has quickly become one of my fav eats for chicken! I have been wanting to try this hot spot for awhile, so when given an opportunity, I scheduled a lunch date w/ the hubs (since we were already at the Spectrum, dropping off our daughter for a hangout). We stopped by on a late Sunday afternoon (around 2:30ish) and it was poppin'. Even tho there was a line, ordering was fairly quick, since we knew what we wanted & ordered via the kiosk. Seating (both indoors & out) was hot real estate, so you really needed to keep an eye out to grab one before it's gone. Luckily, a fam was finishing up as we finished our ordering. Upon seating down, our name was called at the pick-up counter, so service was efficient. The vibe is chill, but fast-paced/hectic as well. Both the hubs & I ordered a two-thigh plate ~ which comes w/ 2 sides ($19.99/each). We opt'd for just the classic/original, no fancy smansy sauce it up..so we can truly taste the quality. I chose the pesto pasta salad & roasted lemon garlic potatoes for my sides & the hubs got the side salad & baked sweet potato. It was alot of food, for the price point..so it's fair (factoring in, we are dining at the Spectrum too). The food was fresh, chicken was moist & flavorful, and everything was cooked perfectly. The chicken was really juicy w/ a crispy exterior, and the sides complemented the meal well. I loved my pesto pasta salad. It reminded me of a mac salad (which I always get if given the chance), but w/ a pesto taste mixed in. Filling & refreshing. The potatoes were seasoned & grilled well. It had loads of flavor. I really liked my hub's baked sweet potato too. We halfsies the sides, so that we each could try everything. OMG..do yourself a favor and order extra TOUM (it's only like 0.75 cents extra)!!! That Lebanese garlic sauce is BOMB! I dipped it w/ literally EVERYTHING ~ from my pita bread to my chicken, and even my potatoes. YUMSSS.. All in all, great portions for the price & definitely worth a visit, esp. if you're craving fresh and healthy & in the area already. We'll be coming back again. RxFoodie recommend!!!

    I got the Hot Bird Wrap and it was alright. People said the size was really small but I got pretty full from it. I think it might be because it was so hot inside that I lost my appetite. But the hot bird wrap was a little too spicy and I want to try their pesto pasta next time.

I ordered the Rib Eye and Salmon combo, which was served with rice and a side salad. The meal arrives hot iron plate, letting you cook and mix everything together to your preference. Both the rib eye was incredibly tender, and the salmon was fresh and perfectly flaky paired together so well. The mix of their signature sweet and savory sauces into the hot rice along with the meat juices took the flavor up a notch for sure!! The side salad was crisp and provided a nice, refreshing pair to the rich main dish. The atmosphere was great for a casual dine-in meal, and the live cooking aspect made it really fun. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a hearty and satisfying meal in Irvine. I will definitely be coming back! I had the pleasure of being served and answered all my questions by Darren. Very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. Energy is everything for me when trying new spots and he brought that personality right in. Thank you Darren and Pepper lunch.

I ordered a 3-Item Plate, and it honestly looked smaller than what a 1-Item Plate used to be. The portion sizes across the board were extremely disappointing. The Orange Chicken was mushy and soft instead of crispy and fresh. The Beef & Broccoli contained only three small pieces of beef with mostly broccoli. I also paid the additional $1.95 upgrade for the Cantonese BBQ Brisket, and the portion was so small it was hard to believe. To make matters worse, the brisket was dry and lacked flavor. Even the rice portion was noticeably smaller than what Panda Express used to serve. I understand that food costs have increased and prices have gone up, but charging more while serving a fraction of the food customers used to receive is not acceptable. Unfortunately, this experience left me feeling ripped off. There are plenty of restaurants offering better quality food, larger portions, and enough leftovers for a second meal. If Panda Express continues reducing portions while raising prices, they're going to lose loyal customers like me. Very disappointing experience.
