Chicken wings and Popcorn Chicken
Patrick L.

Came here craving fried chicken and Fresh Tray did not disappoint. I ordered a popcorn chicken for my son and he loved it! My son is a picky toddler, but he devoured the popcorn chicken. The chicken was juicy in the inside and crispy on the outside. Perfect size and great deal on the amount of food for the price point. I got the chicken wings and it was equally great. The only thing to consider is that if you order in person it takes a while to get the food, even if I was the only person in line. They make/fry all their chicken on the spot so everything is "fresh"

Yum!!! Got take out here and took it to the Thursday summer concert. The lady at the counter is SO SWEET. Food is made fresh so takes 10 minutes but the signs say that and it is so hot and juicy. The chicken sandwich is huge and a steal at $7 and change. I added jalapeños for $1 which was a game changer. Popcorn chicken was also really good. They have a really good spicy dipping sauce that the owner gave with the meal and also this yummy cheesy Parmesan spice for the fries. Great chicken sandwich, great portions, great prices, awesome service, very clean interior if you want to sit inside. Since Popeyes is so far I'll be coming here for my chicken sandwich fix.

Soon as you walk in it feels like I was at home! We ordered the cheese chicken sandwiches 2 piece drumsticks onion rings and their popcorn chicken!!! Prices are also very reasonable. Found a new place when we are in the area! Definitely coming back.

I love chicken sandwiches and had been meaning to try out Fresh Tray since it had such great reviews online. I finally got the chance to see for myself what it tasted like a few months ago. I came in with my boyfriend for a quick dinner. I got the Cheese Chicken Sandwich which was nice and crispy, but honestly it was just alright. It's not something that I would go back for. My expectations were high since the Yelp reviews were 4.5 out of 5, but it was more like a 3 for me. I think I prefer Angry Chickz or World Famous Hotboys chicken sandwiches better.

I love chicken sandwiches so I ordered the chicken sandwich and popcorn chicken here. I did an online order through clover since they do NOT accept phone orders. The phone messaging system says they no longer take phone orders so I ordered online. My chicken sandwich wasn't bad. The chicken is deep fried to perfect and it's a ginormous piece but I felt they skimp on the sauce. You can pay $1 extra for more sauce though. So the standard chicken sandwich in my opinion is lacking due to the sauce. I ordered popcorn chicken but I have no option to get sauce with my chicken. Why would I pay extra for sauce when it should be standard? So a little annoyed with this. This location is right next to the public parking structure in downtown Concord in the todos Santos plaza. I also felt like the prices were a little steep for the food and quality so I wouldn't come back.

02. Cheese Chicken Burger Meal

Hands down the best chicken sandwich I've had anywhere! Crispy and juicy chicken, fresh veggies and perfectly toasted bun, absolutely delicious. Food is always cooked to order, so I do not mind the wait, it is well worth it. Great owners, always a pleasure to dine there. If you have not tried this place, what are you waiting for?

Chicken Wings
Evangeline E.

As the other reviewers mentioned, be prepared for a 15 minute wait for this chicken. However, all good things come with a wait because this chicken is bomb!! It was fresh, moist, crunchy, and perfectly seasoned. The wings were surprisingly huge because its the whole wing not just the flat/drums. They offer an array of sauces on the side for dipping which they make in house. My only complaint is their limited side options. They really only offer fries and that isn't my thing. I brought a container of rice with me so I could really chow down (LOL tell me youre asian without telling me you're asian) all in all that would be my only complaint and what's holding me back from a full 5 stars. I hope they have more options of sides in the future!

Chicken cheese burger
Cecilia D.

Coming home from Tahoe, my hubby wanted to have fried chicken so I searched in Yelp. Perfect timing we were passing through Concord and there was this place that does take out and has outdoor seating after you purchase your food. It is conveniently located near main street, at a corner right where the parking garage is. The restaurant seems to be family owned and is a small establishment. They have a small menu but for what it is worth, whatever is there is amazing. We had the bulgogi burger - sweet bulgogi patty with their signature bulgogi sauce. It is a little sweet but that is what it is, sweet teriyaki style meat. I myself loved it. Chicken and cheese burger - first of all who makes them this big...Fresh Tray does. Not only is it an amazing fried chicken sandwich, but it tastes AWESOME! Nice and crispy on the outside and tender and juicy in the inside. I don't think I have had anything that good before. Two piece drumsticks....same...the chicken is a good portion and super crispy and juicy. They also have limeades which I have to say the honey dew was my favorite. Passion fruit is my second. I will definitely be going back and I suggest you try it out too. Call them to make an order and pick up is pretty quick.

Been wanting to try this place for a while. They have a very good location just a block away from Todo Santos park and the movie theatre. They even have a legit amount of outdoor seating of their own! The help was nice on the phone and when I came to pick up the food it was ready for me! The chicken sandwiches were really good, we got the no. 1 and no. 2 sandwich meals with onion rings and fries. The presentation when I put them on the plates was nice. The onion rings weren't amazing, but they were good. The fries were great. I'd skip the onion rings next time and just get fries. We also got the honeydewade and strawberryade drinks. They were very colorful and SUPER SUGARY. I wasn't expecting as much sugar, you can split the drinks in two with some water and ice and be good. Next time one drink for two. I'll be back when I can go and eat on the patio!

Ask the Community - Fresh Tray

Hello, How early could I order on saturday? I would like to pick an order for an event and pick up for by 11:30 am.

Hello, thanks for reaching out to us. Could you first please tell us how many orders will be placed?… Read more

Are they closed right now due to the statewide mandate? Can't reach the restaurant's phone.

We are open for normal business hours Mon to Sat 11:30am - 8:30pm for TAKE OUT or PHONE ORDER only. Thank you!

Do they have gluten free options?

Hi Michael, sorry we do not have GF option. We use fresh chicken to deep fry so everything is battered and floured except french fries. Hope this helps!

So is there no more bulgogi on the menu? Ok thanks for replying.

Not when I was there. They only really sell chicken now.

FIRST time here! Boyfriend was looking for something with chicken (& I was tired of chicken wings)…read moreso searched on Yelp & this place popped up & let's say the food is AMAZING! We ordered the K2 (chicken breasts) & K3 (lamb) - both with double kabobs, plus the chicken pizza. Wasn't expecting the meat to be so tender, juicy & full of flavor (their sauces were great too). And the prices wasn't too bad either! Next time, we're trying to chicken sandwiches!

Nothing extravagant, but very clean. A 3/5 for ambiance because it was basic. The service was a bit strange. We ordered over the phone using the menu online but when we asked for a K5 (the chicken wrap) the person taking the order had no idea what we were talking about so we had to go back to the menu to find the actual name, and that was inconvenient. Also, there was no one up front when walking in and my partner had to call out multiple times before anyone responded. Service gets a 2.8/5 as it was just below my minimum requirements for service. We got a chicken wrap with fries x2, dal with rice and lamb kabobs (not pictured). The wraps were perfect, chicken crispy and juicy, and the coleslaw adds a light crunch into the mix, this gets a 5/5. The lamb was tender, juicy, and very well seasoned. The texture was dense, but not chewy, and would have also been bomb inside the wrap, the lamb gets a 5/5. The dal was spicy, and served with a large chili and fire roasted tomatoes. I'm a big fan of lentils and curry, so this was an easy choice. The fragrance of the saffron rice with the lentils reminded me of comfort food on a rainy afternoon. I give this a 5/5. Overall, the food is great but the service could be better. I give this eatery a 4.2/5

We ordered through DoorDash pickup…read more We got two orders of the 10 piece chicken wings. One order was honey flavored and the other order was Mr. Lee style. I thought both orders would come with the pickled radish, but we only got one, which isn't the biggest deal. I do like their pickled radish because it was refreshing and it had a bit of sweetness to it, which is different from another large chain Korean fried chicken restaurant. We also ordered a diet coke, but ended up getting a canned diet pepsi (was for some reason thinking it was going to be in a cup). The honey wings were really good, other than honey, there was no other sweetness which I'm glad about...I liked the natural flavor, and it wasn't overly saucy. The Mr. Lee wings had some jalapeno and red onion pieces and it had something like a soy glaze taste to it. The chicken wings weren't completely crunchy, but they had a bit of a crisp and chew to it from the batter, which I enjoyed. The batter was definitely different from other large chain restaurants, but it was delicious! The restaurant was pretty empty at the time we went, but very spacious. It looks like they're big enough to host fun events, which they advertised karaoke and games. Overall, I would totally come back for Korean fried chicken here!

A couple pool tables so might've been an old sports bar ... mini stage for karaoke? No evidence of live music. Service is very minimal and cursory ... there are tablets in the tables with photo menus but the tablets are bolted in one position so you have to twist and hunch down to use them ... if you don't know what you want, they don't really care to help you, here's the menu, just order already so if you just want Korean fried chicken that's solid but not spectacular, and they do not really care about serving you, here you go.

I love how chubby and perfectly chewy the noodles are! Son & I went with all chow mein since I'm not a big rice eater, but I did try a bite of hubby's rice and was pleasantly surprised--super garlicky and delicious! This place is NOTHING like Panda. It's authentic, and the food is constantly coming out fresh. The garlic chicken was amazing, the BBQ pork was tender and sweet, and the salt & pepper wings and fish were absolute fire--crispy, flavorful, and addicting! Son also tried the orange chicken & sweet sticky fried ribs. The restaurant is super clean, service is quick and the owners are just adorable. I love chatting with them--you can tell they've poured their hearts into this place. I wish them continued success, and I'm hoping to become one of their weekly regulars!

I arrived around 12 pm today and a bunch of entrees were not ready yet. They had about 7 or so entrees good to go, but I was waiting for the Mongolian Beef. The lady who serviced me was nice and made small talk with me while the kitchen was finishing the dish. Mongolian Beef: What I waited for and it was just ok. Not used to having bell peppers in my Mongolian Beef, but it was still good. A bit salty for me for this dish and I wish the spiciness was turned up a notch. Broccoli Beef: This one was also salty for my liking. The texture of the beef was good though and I enjoyed the amount of broccoli I did get in my plate. Sesame Chicken: The best of the trio I got. Was perfectly fried and sauced, not being too salty or bland. I can see why this one can be a popular item choice with how fresh and crispy it tasted. My number one choice here. Overall, it was alright. For the amount I paid, I can get two servings out of it, so a nice lunch and dinner for me. I probably would come back again.

In the mood for delicious chicken? This was our first time visit here…read more My kids recommended Starbird Chicken for some ono fried chicken sandwiches. We ended up buying a variety of menu items to try tonight. The ordering is simple. Use a kiosk to enter your choices and pay by credit cards, Apple Pay or cash. A seasonal Japanese Bbq line up was featured today. We ordered the Japanese Bbq tender box, Tokyo sesame crunch salad, sides of French fries, 10 piece wings with half Parmesan and half Sweet Thai Chili. Sauces and salad dressing were ordered on the side. Sauces included the Star sauce (a secret recipe that is described as creamy, sweet and tangy, like a blend of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar and spices), Honey Chipotle BBQ, Wasabi Aioli and Tokyo Sesame salad dressing (carrot ginger dressing). The chicken tenders are crunchy and lightly coated on the outside. The tenders are moist and delicious inside. The chicken wings are lightly coated and crispy! The Parmesan and Sweet Thai Chili seasoning are savory and flavorful. A winner combination. Service is fast and efficient here. Your order is made quickly. There are clean tables and chairs located inside and outside. Take out is available as well. All gender bathrooms are available inside the restaurant. Free parking out front of the restaurant.

We were in the area the other week and were curious what this shop was. Then we saw some gift cards…read morefor sale in the nearby Costco, and I was wondering if we would be able to spend the amount that the gift card offers lol! We finally got to try Starbird today, and we got the Indian hotbird sandwich, Avo Cabo salad, and a side of fries. My fat fingers accidentally hit the "lettuce wrap, no bun" option for the Indian hotbird sandwich when we ordered at the kiosk (we didn't figure this out until we opened the box at home). Even though that was the case, they used romaine lettuce, and it was so crisp. The Indian hotbird tenders had a good flavor profile, and it wasn't that spicy. I would order this again, but would probably go for the regular bun option lol. The chicken was a bit soggy for this one, since it had lots of sauce and romaine lettuce, but again, I accidentally clicked for the lettuce, which I would expect to add to the sogginess of the crispy chicken. The Avo Cabo salad was HUGE! Definitely good as a standalone meal or to share. There was also a generous amount of crispy chicken in there chopped up. The chicken was pretty crispy even though it was next to the lettuce in this box, maybe a bit on the salty side for me, when the dressing was added to it. There is also a good amount of batter on the chicken. I am not a fan of cotija cheese because of the smell, but I can see how people would enjoy that. I would probably order it without cotija next time. I really liked the jicama...it seemed like it had a bit of tajin. The jicama was crunchy but had a bit of a softness to it, like a Korean pear texture. I also liked that there was avocado in this salad, which is also why I chose it. For $4.27, the fries were kind of small. It had a nice amount of salt, but was more on the soggy side for me. My husband enjoyed the sogginess of the fries, though. I would probably order these extra crispy next time. Service was friendly. Even though we didn't click on the utensils and napkins for checkout at the kiosk, they ensured that we got some when they offered and we took them up on their offer. There were some tables that seemed dirty when we came in, but probably they were dealing more so with the dinner time rush for to-go orders rather than getting to clean the tables. I can't wait to go back and try their other sandwiches, salads, and even their nuggets!
