overall: 3.5/5 hey chicken burger: 4/5 good but wish it came w sauce and a whole piece of lettuce rather than shredded lettuce wings: 4/5, crispy and good flavor but a bit small the doc in points is just due to how long it takes + if you order online there is a " convenience fee" which is ridiculous. as it is in Main Street, parking here is tough and would recommend parking in a garage. read more

Hey Chicken is not the place to go if you're expecting fast food. It took 20+ min on average for us to get our food. However, my fiance and I typically order their whole fried chicken to share. We've only been here twice, but both times, we were surprised by how JUICY the chicken were. We ate the chicken while it was fresh, aka it was HOT to touch, but it tastes amazing. If you're craving good fried chicken with a good amount of meat inside, hey chicken is the place to go. The bun for the sandwich/lettuce/etc was basic, but the chicken itself is why you're there. The breading on the fried chicken was just right for me - no too thick/ not too doughy/ does not scrap my mouth. If you like spicy, don't skimp out on their powder- it's amazing. I didn't really taste the spicy on our chicken (still flavorful), so the additional powder was definitely needed. Oh - don't expect service either - it's kinda rare to catch someone by the front. They do have a bell for you to ring for someone though. read more

I came here on a Saturday morning. I'm assuming this place is relatively new. When I ordered, the worker was quick to attend to me. I ordered their popcorn chicken. It had a spice kick to it which I didn't expect. It didn't say anywhere on their menu, and I wish it came with a sauce to compliment! read more

I came here for their cuttlefish ink fried chicken and it was really unique. The store is inside the Main Street Cupertino plaza and has table seatings. When I walk in, the staff were in the kitchen, so I ordered using the kiosk and waited around half an hour. The box was closed when given to me, but I want the crust to be crispy so I left it open. The chicken is smaller than a regular chicken and feels a little overpriced, but the flavor is delicious. I got the spicy flavor which gives a nice spice kick and the meat was juicy. Overall, pretty good fried chicken and I'll probably return for the other chicken options. read more

Hey Chicken - Fast Food Near Me - Cupertino, California

This place gets 2 starts because the flavor is there but the temperature on the chicken is not.. the service did the best they could and gave me 5 dollar credit on doordash. The place was empty that should've been the red flag for me. The fries are decent. Hopefully IF I ever try this chicken again hopefully it's cooked. And if i try it again ill for sure eat it there. I ordered pick up because I was on my lunch at work and obviously had to drive back to work but.. nope those 5 dollars is not equivalent to the hospital bill if I would've ate the children like this. Gordon Ramsey would've been very upset. read more

Stopped by Hey Chicken for dinner since a lot of neighboring restaurants were packed. Quality was not too bad- the fried chicken was juicy and crispy. It did take some time to get our order, but everything seemed like it was freshly fried. Very much fast food quality and pricey, but it's filling. The Hey Chicken sauce was ok- I would skip if you don't need sauce. read more

~3.5 rating I tried their spicy chicken wrap and their chicken wings. Chickens wings are crispy and flavored perfectly(reminded me of the Asia kfc) Would get it again. The chicken wrap was okay. Felt like there should be more ratio of lettuce(and cucumbers too). Their take out bags are reusable! Nice quality bag. read more

Decided to try this place out since I've been seeing this store pop up around CA. Expensive chicken place for bland fried chicken. In a busy plaza but the store was nearly empty. The chicken here is fried well and comes out hot (temp). It is very crispy. I got the spicy chicken sandwich but it had no spice to it at all. I saw the red from the spices but didn't taste it. Good buns not much sauce or lettuce on it. The popcorn chicken only tasted like crisp, oil, and chicken. The fries were not good and they use below average frozen fries. The sandwich costs $12 for just the sandwich. The menu price was not accurate. For the price of the items it should come with sauce and spices but they sell them separately. About $1- 50 cents for spices/sauces. Food was so bland I caved in and got the house special sauces but even then it was not good. read more

I came here to pick up some pastries from Tiny Croissanterie and decided to try the chicken as well because who doesn't love popcorn chicken? I'm not sure why this place is rated so low on both Google Maps and Yelp since it's insane volume for value and the chicken is delicious! I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but the chicken drumstick (which is $4.99, understandably would make one do a double take because it's literally just a chicken leg) is actually MASSIVE. The chicken here is also so juicy and flavorful, and has a great spicy kick to it. Would definitely recommend and will probably stop by again to try their sandwiches and other items! read more

Something definitely feels different here. It used to be packed with customers at lunchtime on weekdays. You can dine inside as desired. Today feels empty. It feels like a place to just make money in and out. Nothing special here. Not cheap/expensive and overpriced for chicken sandwiches. I ordered at kiosk to go. $12.99 New Orleans chicken sandwich and $4.99 chicken nuggets 6-pieces. Limited appetizers and meal combo selections. You have to buy sauces separately and there's not too many beverage options here. In general, chicken meat at Hey Chicken locations are deliciously good, but my sandwich was average in presentation. Chicken nuggets were thick and chunky. Love chicken meat, but I wanted good location vibes too. I still prefer the River Oaks San Jose location for better vibes. This location feels a bit dead these days. Not sure if they can survive high inflation times. This is your average chicken sandwich/chicken meats/chicken combo place for quick bites. They could do much better here if they want to. Afterall, location isn't cheap around here. read more

We came here on President's Day at around 11:30am. There was no line, and we were probably the first people in the store. We ordered on the kiosk and the iPad restarted on us, so we had to order again. I wasn't sure of the portion sizes and given that it's an Asian spot, I just figured the portions were small. Wrong! We ordered: 2 pc Spicy wings - nothing super memorable. It's good and comes free if you order more than $15. Chicken thigh & chicken drumstick - delicious! The cumin in the seasoning really came through. These pieces are huge and the chicken is fried to perfection. Spicy chicken sandwich - not really that spicy but the portion size was huge! Nashville hot chicken thigh and drumstick - our fave!! It was so good we took it home and added to a sandwich since it wasn't an option here. 100% recommend ordering this if it's the only thing you're ordering. I took off a star because their hey chicken sauce doesn't come free and when we bought it, it wasn't that good. I'd skip it. They also are kinda slow for us being the only ones in the store, I'm worried how they'll handle a larger crowd. Hadn't happened yet because they're new but who knows. read more

Located in Main Street Cupertino, parking is plentiful, however availability is limited. The interior is small but more than enough seating good for small-medium groups. Noise level is quiet. There are 2 kiosks in which you can place your order. New Orleans chicken sandwich (4/5): the chicken was tender and juicy. Flavor was a bit lacking though. There were lots of veggies which is always nice to have. The fries were absolutely heavenly. So crispy and fluffy. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Hey Chicken is a great restaurant. The sandwhich was good and the fries were delicious. read more

Hey Chicken - New Orleans chicken sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Cupertino, California

This is the new place that took over pelicana chicken in Main Street. Their menu is similar to macho burger in Sunnyvale but I think they are lacking in flavor. I got the crispy spicy chicken sandwich, New Orleans double chicken sandwich and popcorn chicken. They were both pretty big, but the New Orleans one is huge, with 2 gigantic slabs of marinated chicken. The chicken were very crispy, perfectly cooked in my opinion for the crispy sandwich and popcorn chicken, but really missing out on the flavor. However, I really enjoyed the New Orleans sandwich, the chicken is especially juicy and flavorful. The sauce paired with the chicken in this sandwich was perfect as well, I'd come back for this specific sandwich again, but maybe not their other crispy chicken items if the flavor stays the same. read more

Overall Experience: 7.0/10 Came here multiple times before writing a review, and the experience has been Okay- Good each time. The place has taken over Pelicana Chicken and is a new Fried Chicken spot. The layout is the same, two TV's on the inside and the same bench and ordering area. They did add two self check out kiosks next to the benches but those are the only major difference in layout. The Food: We tried their Squid Ink Fried Chicken, Fries, and the Nashville Hot whole chicken. They were all juicy but the flavor for the squid ink fried chicken was a little missing. The fries also were crispy but under salted for our taste, and was not too soft on the inside. The Nashville Hot whole chicken was my favorite but it does seem like it was not super juicy on the inside. They do fry the chicken well for the crisp, but I do think it needs a little bit more flavor. Overall Experience: The chicken is good, but not amazing in my opinion. It has a nice crisp but is lacking in other areas but that may be because of an unlucky batch. I would give it one more try again in the future but I would come here if you have a strong craving for chicken and is already on Main Street. read more

Hey Chicken - Squid Ink, Nashville chicken and Fries - Fast Food Near Me - Cupertino, California

4.5 STARS Goodbye Pelicana Chicken... Hello, Hey Chicken! Opening today is Hey Chicken's second Bay Area location (1st is in San Jo). They're a fried chicken franchise from China, essentially a Chinese KFC/Popeyes. Open for takeout, delivery (Fantuan), and indoor seating. Communal outdoor seating in the plaza. M E N U Fried chicken in various forms: sandwich, wrap, bone-in pieces (whole, thigh, drumstick, and wings), nuggets, and popcorn. - Flavors: original, rattan pepper, nashville, cuttlefish ink (black chicken), and new orleans (inspired by general tso's chicken). - Seasoning (add-on): Garlic, cumin, sichuan, etc. - Sides: fries, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks. For drinks, they have bottled tea, canned soda, and sparkling water. O R D E R I N G Contactless ordering via two kiosks (Chowbus). You'll receive a text when your order is ready. Pre-ordering online is not live yet. F O O D * Hey Cuttlefish Ink Whole Fried Chicken ($22.99): https://tinyurl.com/4efj5fj5 I've been to their San Jo location where they were sold out of this so glad they had it available here. Ignore the jarring color because the squid ink adds a salty umami to the hella juicy cornish hen with a deliciously crunchy batter. Even the breast meat is juicy. The skin is perfectly rendered, not greasy or oily. Def recommend this over their original recipe that I find flavorless. * Sauces (99 cents each) - Ranch: Standard, added ketchup for tang. - Hey Chicken: I believe their take on big mac thousand island-ish sauce. Tasted like straight mayo, not much flavor. Please add an acidic hot sauce option! S E R V I C E Very friendly owner/staff. Order was ready in 15 minutes as quoted (fried to order). A M B I A N C E Same vibe as Pelicana Chicken with eight tables/booths and two large TVs. Top 40s playing. No bright, cutesy mascot mural yet. P A R K I N G Chaotic parking during peak weekend times. Overall, Hey Chicken is a nice addition to Main Street Cupertino. If you're craving Chinese style fried chicken, check 'em out! read more

I like that you can get single wings and small bites here! Sometimes it's a huge commitment to eat an entire order of chicken wings, so this is great! What I don't like: their price is off for what it is. It's not gonna break your bank, but it's definitely gonna make you debate if it's worth it or not. The chicken wrap was skinnier than my forearm and although it was decent, it wasn't $12 decent. I also don't like how SNEAKY THEY ARE. They had NO SIGNAGE about paying a fee if you spend less than $15... And even though the fee was a less than 50¢c it's the principle of being transparent with your consumers. read more

Chicken Little without glasses has arrived to Main Street Cupertino! We had to give this place a try after noticing the adorable chicken logo -- it really works up your appetite to devour some chicken! We ordered the Popcorn Chicken, Hey Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and Hey Fries. Popcorn Chicken (5/5): Given its relatively low price, we were not expecting the portions to be so large! The batter of each popcorn chicken piece is irresistibly fried to a gnarled, golden-brown roughness to deliver a powerful crispiness -- each bite composed a crunchy symphony in my mouth. The chicken thigh meat itself is a little questionable though -- some pieces are as pink as a Strawberry Starburst! It's seasoned well, but I'd recommend getting a sauce on the side to dip. Hey Spicy Chicken Sandwich (3/5): This is one big sandwich, and once again the batter has that tantalizing crispity crunch. However, the chicken thigh is really stringy and has mixed colorful hues of cooked pinkness and muted dark reds and purples -- I definitely prefer my chicken sandwhiches with white meat. The bun is also too sweet for my liking. Disappointingly, there's also not any noticeable spicy notes or tingles! Hey Fries (4/5): Generic standard cut fries, but you get a big portion and it's perfectly crispy and hot. Wait times are long -- each time we've been here the wait was about twenty minutes, even when it wasn't busy. Overall, would recommend giving this place a try if you're craving large portions for low prices and some super crispy chicken! read more

I wanted to try this place out, so after tennis, I came here with the homie yesterday and we had a bad experience here. The printer wasn't working and we waited 20 minutes for our food to come out. I ordered the C1 combo and there was a mix up on my food. I did ask for onion rings on the side, but they forgot to ring it up and I assumed they had my order correctly. It turned out I didn't so I had to get back in line and buy it. I think it's interesting you can either have fries or substitute it for 2 pieces of chicken wings, but unfortunately I regret getting the chicken wings. I took a bite of my sandwich and noticed it was pink inside the chicken. It was cooked, but at the same time it was borderline raw lol. Same with the chicken wings, it was pink in the inside. I didn't get sick, but my friend got an upset stomach the next day. The pictures displayed on their kiosk/website does not look like the sandwich in person. The chicken sandwich also had no flavor so I ended up throwing away all my food and decided to eat at home. I did have high standards for this place since it's located in a busy plaza, but I was wrong. read more

Service is great. Friendly and helpful. I had the crispy chicken sandwich meal. Chicken has been brined - usually a good thing but I didn't like the flavor in it. Chicken also had lot of ligaments and stuff so hard to chew. The breading is amazing and crisp; I wish the chicken was better. I also wish it had pickles and tomatoes - kind of plain. Fries are mushy and under salted. Ranch was 0.75 and also not good flavor and not very creamy. Coke served in the can and not cold. Place was very clean and well kept, again speaking to the amazing service. The stars all go to her! read more

Hey Chicken - Crispy chicken sandwich (good crisp, icky chicken) and fries (mushy and plain) - Fast Food Near Me - Cupertino, California

It a fast food place and so suited for quick service. Ambience is clean and doesn't smell like KFC. However food is lacking flavor. This is my wife's opinion. I don't eat meat and so was just the delivery boy that evening. Not sure if we may be going back read more

My friend group decided to come to Main Street for a snack, and ordered some Hey chicken. When I picked up my takeout order, the employee at the counter was rude and said "I already called your number" in a sassy voice. I took the bag, and took out my three items: chicken nuggets, popcorn chicken, and onion rings. However, the onion rings were not in the bag, rather the French fries. We didn't bother going back to switch to onion rings. Chicken nuggets and popcorn chicken were okay, but on the greasy side. Overall, the service was rude and slow, and the food was incorrect. I would not recommend coming here. read more

It's way too greasy! Made my stomach upset. Won't be buying this again. I got the leg and thigh

I got the popcorn chicken which was spicier than I had expected and was more breading than chicken. The girl at the front was grumpy and monosyllabic. Pass. read more

We were intrigued by the cuttlefish ink chicken and decided to try it. It only came as a whole chicken, no option to get drumstick or wings, and since it was just me and my husband, we figured we'll get one to share. It was TINY! Taste-wise, it was ok, but nothing to rave about, Popeye's or Jollibee are better. Also because it was small it's mostly bone. Definitely not worth the 26 (add tax/tip on top of that). Picture is the "whole" chicken next to leftover chicken thigh bought at Trader Joe's for 1.99/lb. read more

I got the popcorn chicken and it was light and crispy, reminding me a bit of Popeyes. I can't recall the last time where I paid a reasonable price for some good popcorn chicken. If you want sauces, they are an additional 50 cents. They have so many more items I have to go back to try! Sorry there aren't photos my sister and I ate it too fast. read more

I had seen this place pop up on Instagram and was curious about it since I love fried chicken. I happened to be in the area and wasn't super hungry so I ordered a nashville chicken drumstick and the spicy wings. The spicy wings came with 3 pieces while the nashville drumstick was one of the larger drumsticks that I have seen. Overall, the items were under $10 after tax, before tip. Both the drumstick and wings were crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. Pretty solid except they were lacking flavor. Neither was spicy and I expected the nashville to have more flavor and it did not. They did have spices and sauces that you could add on for about 50cents which would have probably made it better. I am glad I tried it but probably won't be back since there are so many other chicken options in the Bay Area. read more

Hey Chicken has several locations. I was thrilled to find one in Cupertino. I ordered at the kiosk, and my food arrived about 10 minutes after placing my order. They also offer a free membership that provides a 5% discount. The Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich (4/5): It was pretty crispy and flavorful. However, it wasn't the best fried chicken I've had in the Bay Area. The Chicken Thigh (4/5): It was a great option. It came with two pieces of chicken thigh in one order. To enhance the flavor, you can choose a flavor like garlic for an additional 50 cents. I was expecting garlic marinated chicken thigh, but it was actually garlic powder, which was a bit disappointing. Parking can be a bit tricky since the restaurant is located in a food plaza. It tends to get busy during lunch and dinner hours. There are few seats in the restaurant which gives the option to dine in. It's pretty chill and a fast food vibe restaurant. read more

Foods are ok. The wings are definitely over priced for a 6 pieces or may be i was over charged. I ordered on the self serve screen and instead of the standard4 or 6 i went for the additional pieces but end up being charged the plus prices but got 6 instead. I visited the 2 locations but not impressed. read more

The server, Aye is really friendly. We met for a fee minutes only but we are connected. The food is delicious. I got spicy chicken sandwich. It's only 9.99 and the chicken is huge.

Quiet fried chicken place. Stopped by at 4pm on Saturday, no customers and got a Togo popcorn chicken. Full bag but more batter than chicken and very greasy. They didn't have toothpicks or forks in the store for the chicken and charged 50cents for any sauces or powder seasoning. The popcorn chicken didn't come with any sauces and it was extra. A little spicy for the kids but it was bearable. Nothing exciting or memorable. Probably wouldn't go back unless the choices were limited and I was in the plaza. read more

Pretty good popcorn chicken! It wasn't hot like it was freshly fried but it was still quite crispy and crunchy while the inside was tender. You get a pretty decent portion for it being only $4.99, however it doesn't come with any seasoning or sauces. Those cost extra which adds to the price. Without any seasoning, the chicken has just a slightly spicy flavor. I recommend the sweet plum seasoning! read more

First off, price is pretty pricey below the picture is the meal for $22. Drink comes in a can with no ice which they can't provide.

I gave them a dollar for the ranch and ended up leaving the change as a tip since they didn't have any change for a dollar in their register. First and last time im coming here. read more
