Taste: crispy chicken sandwiches with customizable spice levels that range from regular- mild- hot so good !my personal favorite is Mild right in the middle top it off with the kick N sauce to level the spice and omg soooo delicious! They have so many different options on the menu but each one is pretty good this place does not miss. The customer service is also 10/10. Price: Pretty reasonable prices too. The parking outside is not bad they do have a lot to park in. read more

Delicious chicken period. I recommend spicy even though you'll definitely tear up. Great place for takeout or dining in! They're fast and so friendly. Lots of parking too. Highly recommend the honey chicken sandwich combo!! The chicken salad was also good and stuffed to perfection full of deliciousness. I'm proud I took photos and video before diving in because it was goooooone like that! My fave new restaurant to visit for sure! read more

Five Star Chicken - Honey chicken sandwich combos - Chicken Shop Near Me - Richmond, California

5 Star Chicken absolutely lives up to the name. Service has been solid every time. I've been here three times, and the young lady at the front has always been super friendly and helpful -- which honestly makes the experience even better. This place is dangerous because it's way too close to my house. The chicken is just that good. Crispy, flavorful, and hits every time. I don't have much else to say other than: you need to try this spot ASAP. I'd order a milkshake too, but summer is around the corner -- I'll save that move for winter. 5 Star Chicken gets 5 stars. No debate. read more

Wow!!! The chicken and mac is everything! I got the hot chicken and it is so tasty with a great pairing of tasty fries, mac and cheese, and the sauce! I was curious to see if all the layers had flavor or if it would be bland. Not bland at all! Seasoning and love was put into this dish. I highly recommend trying this place out! I can't wait to try the chicken sandwich next time. Yum! Oh and huge portion too! read more

Excellent taste and quality! I was a bit shy to try them because I've tried similar chicken restaurants and their seasonings are always extra salty. I was pleasantly surprised to finally find a restaurant that seasons their chicken well and it's not salty! The cashier was also super friendly and sweet to us. I also want to mention that they serve "hand slaughtered" chicken upon request. Will definitely be back with our kids! read more

Finally got to try Five Star Chicken and omg, it was surprisingly good!!! The interior is quite small, but very clean. There is a parking lot, which is convenient. You can order online for pick up, at the kiosk, or at the counter. We got a variety of things to try that day. We ordered: - Kick'n Chicken Sandwich (hot) - Chick'n and Slaw Rice Bowl (hot) - Mac N Chicken Loaded Fries (hot) - Captain Crunch Milk Shake There are three spice levels: regular, mild, hot. I couldn't taste the heat much on the bowl and the fries, but the Kick'n Chicken Sandwich had a "kick" to it! It was pretty hot; but not spicyyy. I actually liked that type of heat. The chicken sandwich was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor! The heat level was perfect for me and I enjoyed the balance of the slaw. I was unsure about the mac and cheese and fries combination; especially since it's fast food mac and cheese and the idea of eating noodles with fries seemed kinda weird. However, it wasn't that bad! I think that was my bf's favorite lol. Next time though, I'd opt for just the mac and cheese (you can opt out of the fries!). The chicken and slaw rice bowl wasn't too bad either, but I think the slaw was a bit sweet and the rice soaked up all of its jucies, making it soggy. The captain crunch shake tastes exactly like you're eating cereal; milk and all! This establishment is halal friendly and even offers to hand slaughter your chicken, upon request. I came in not expecting too much, being a non-chain restaurant, but left extremely satisfied! Love how local this is to me and a great addition to the community! Definitely will be back! read more

We tried this place yesterday since it's a new spot in Richmond and I'm def a fan of Nashville chicken! The interior is small, clean and well lit. You have an option to order at the kiosk or the register and we opt for the kiosk. They have 3 spice level that is regular, mild and hot. I got the Mac n' Chicken with mild flavor I wasn't sure if the hot option would be too spicy for me but I wish I did because the mild did not have any kick whatsoever but other than that the flavor was there. The chicken was seasoned well, mac n cheese was okay and the fries was not crinkled as what they advertise on the menu other than that it was cooked well and crispy on the side. My BF got the Five Star Chicken combo with mild flavor and according to him his has a kick to it and the sandwich was flavorful and good size. You're able to customize your toppings for an extra charge and fountain drinks are $2.99 (doesn't come with the combo). Overall, this place is a much needed addition to Richmond's food palate. I'll try other options next time! read more

I had a chicken sandwich. It was good. I got it spicy and it's pretty spicy. I would go back. One thing that could improve is for the cashier to know the menu better. We got it to go but the place inside is nice and clean. read more

My first time here and I was very indecisive.. I changed my order like 4 times and expected the waitress to get angry. She was so so patient and understanding, service off the bat 12/10. For food I ended up with the Habanero Chicken sandwich combo with mac, both were a solid 7. I would have preferred my sandwich to be less sauced, it got messy. My boyfriend got the garlic parm bowl, also a solid 7. This place is good but a bathroom would be nice or wet wipes to wipe your hands. Overall, not bad :) read more

Finally got the chance to check out Five Star since they recently opened. I ordered the kick'n chicken sandwich (spicy), mac and cheese fries topped with chicken, and a Fruity Pebble milkshake. Everything was really good. Service was fast and smooth with little to no wait time maybe because it was sunday. They have a nice, clean seating area inside if you'd like to dine in. read more

We ordered the regular sandwich and the hot honey chicken sandwich, and both were very good. The chicken was hot and crunchy, exactly what you want. The milkshakes were a fun bonus--I had the Fruity Pebbles milkshake, and it was a blast. Definitely a treat. Overall, a really solid experience, and I think we'll be back. read more

The bad service outshines the food, i will not be coming back and ill make sure everyone i know is aware of what to expect from these people, order a menu item took my bag got home only to see they gave me something completely different. I didnt have time to drive another 20 mins to exchange it so i called them hoping they would make it right only to be told of i cant come back there isnt anything they can do such a poor response when they were at fault 100% DOUBLE CHECK ALL YOUR ITEMS they do not care here read more

Food is bland in taste and expensive and the rice in the chicken rice bowls definitely doesnt fit not nasty but its better for regular plain steam rice then the rice they use read more

Came here recently after driving by it the last few weeks and wondering what it had to offer. While it's located on the bustling San Pablo Ave., 5 Star has a parking lot for customers to park at without having to rely on street parking. I ordered the Hot Honey Chicken Combo (with fries) at the kiosk when I entered but was greeted by workers as well. They checked in on me while I was waiting for my to go order and made sure I got what I ordered. There were plenty of tables inside and a chic aesthetic to the interior design. When I got home, I was able to try the sandwich and found myself impressed with the quality of the chicken! Although I ordered the spiciest level they offered, it wasn't spicy for me (then again, that's a personal issue since I have a higher tolerance). Fries were ok, but the chicken sandwich was definitely the star here. read more

The food was good. The customer service was excellent and the ambience was superb. I can say from the 3 piece combo tenders. Mild is not for a beginner, because it got some kick to it. All in all, I'd go back. read more

This is a new establishment that open in the area and I happen to be in the vicinity so I checked this place out. They don't have fried chicken in the sense that it's just fried chicken. It's more of a fried chicken sandwich place. They have a variety of flavors and I really enjoy all of them. My favorite thing is the milkshake. They have a fruity pebble milkshake which I highly highly recommend. Also their service is phenomenal. I haven't experienced such great customer service for a long time, especially after Covid, but the staff here is so friendly and so welcoming and she'll answer any questions and really try to have you enjoy your experience there. Really enjoyed this place. It's a fast casual place. There's some parking outside And you order at the counter or off of the kiosk. read more

The food is delicious and filling and the service is friendly and kind. I have recommended them to everyone I know and intend to keep going back! Meals are preped and served quickly and the portion sizes are worth the price! They are also super accommodating and helpful! Highly recommend! read more

Went here a few days ago because it's in the neighborhood well lit and Parking lot is available. Also handicap parking OK back to the sandwich. I got the five star chicken sandwich combo and the flavor was good I love crinkle french fries but they were a bit salty. I ate them anyway The chicken reminded me of a giant chicken strip nice consistency. I don't think I will go back again. I like chicken with bones and I'm glad the drinks are separate because I never really want to drink. That's just me. They have some created flavor drinks and milkshakes. The staff was nice. I forgot to take a picture but right now. It looks like the menu. I hope they make it around here. It was pretty fresh. read more

The chicken here is very tasty and well cooked. I definitely recommend a soda to cut the heaviness, but overall, I would come back again for the tenders. The sauces were all good, especially the ranch!! You have the option to dine in if you'd like and there is a small parking lot. Everyone was friendly and the food came out quick. Also, very well priced for the quality and quantity. read more

Pretty serviceable chicken sandwich on par with Dave's Hot Chicken [a high compliment in my estimation]. Service was fast and friendly; I placed an order with an attendant, but noticed that kiosk was an option. Interior is fresh, clean, and modern but nothing to write home about. I wouldn't mind paying a little less for an admittedly-tasty chicken sammie - hard to ignore that Dave's gives you two for a comparable price. Still, quite good and a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

The pictures online don't really look good so we avoided this for a while until the other day gave in. It was absolutely fire and glad we gave it a try definitely will be going back . Price points are pretty solid and reasonable read more

They have chicken sandwiches/rice bowls, chicken strips, etc. I'm not a chicken sandwich eater but I tried it & I'm not kidding, the Five Star & Hot honey chicken sandwiches were delicious and juicy, chicken was crunchy w/romain lettuce & the sauce made the taste even better, I was glad he gave me extra sauce on the side to add. The very polite guy offered a free drink & thanked me for waiting got mixed berry juice & gulped half the drink down on my first sip it was so good! They also have crinkle fries/sides. Very nice cashier answering any questions. I will be going back. read more

Our go to is the Mac n Chicken Rice Bowl (mild). Sometimes I'll have leftovers (reheat is on point). The tenders (mild) are big and not dry. I normally place our orders online and the service is always great. Karla is great with customer service. read more

I kept passing by so I decided to stop in. I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich and it was delicious. Awesome flavor. Very hot. Not your average Chicken sandwich. A little on the small side but was very crunchy and made to order. One of the best fried Chicken sandwiches Iv had. The total was almost $10. There is no restroom for customers but they will let you wash your hands. read more

Absolutely amazing fresh chicken sandwiches and crispy fries. My husband and I ate our entire sandwiches. A must try!

Tried this new place today with my husband and got the rice/mac/chicken bowl and an order of tenders and fries. Was confused at first about why the bowl has both rice (or fries, if you prefer) and Mac and cheese, but it was good. Very filling! The tenders were a bit too spicy for me (medium) but my hubby liked them. Big portions make the prices more palatable (my order for the 2 items came to $32) and their shakes look awesome. I'm glad I tried them as Richmond def could use a non-chain chicken joint. read more

Good take-out lunch spot. They ONLY have chicken. You get boneless chicken breast strips covered in some kind of breading and optionally put on a sandwich or salad. Don't expect other options. But it is very good chicken, and pretty good sandwiches. They lean hard into the spicy-pickley flavor range. read more

I was honestly underwhelmed by the chicken sandwich. It felt pretty basic overall. The buns were way too thick and overpowered everything else, and the chicken itself didn't have much flavor. Nothing stood out or made me want to come back for it. It wasn't bad, just very forgettable. . read more
