    4/11/26 Combo 1 - medium spice level
    Jodeci A.

    Visited on Saturday 4/11/26. The service was excellent. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the gentleman behind the cash register helped us navigate the menu. The food was delicious. The chicken was great quality and cooked perfectly. The fries were seasoned well. The mac and cheese was scrumptious. Not too salty. Something to note is the mac and cheese is not baked. I know some people prefer that but I am not particular about it myself. We will definitely be back!

    Shosho Shosho's Loaded Fries

    This isn't my first time having hotbox chicken but I finally got a chance to review it. The chicken is juicy and crunchy. I ordered their Shosho loaded fries. This comes with fries (obviously) Mac and cheese, chicken (your choice of hot level) and it's topped with their signature sauce. I can't speak about the service at their restaurant but the service for delivery was great. Everything was packaged nicely. The only negative I have is they didn't include napkins or cutlery but that might have been on my end for not adding it to the instructions so it's not a big deal for me. I was thinking the fries might be soggy upon arrival but they were actually in pretty good shape. Even the ones that weren't super crispy was ok because when you take a bite, you can't distinguish between the mac and the fries but you still get the crunch from the chicken. We also ordered the combo #3 (as you can see in my pics) and it looked great as well. I can't speak about the ambiance because again, I wasn't at their restaurant. One of these days, I will visit and update my review to let you guys know if the quality took a hit via delivery or if it's still the same. Either way, definitely worth a try if you like chicken, spicy or not.

    My kids love this place!! They really enjoy the spicy chicken. I love that they have comfy booths and I enjoy the vibey playlist. Customer service is also good.

    Came here after Disney! The chicken was so good! I got the spicy HOT level and INHALED the spice on my first bite (10/10 do not recommend unless you want to nearly choke) the girl who took our order, I think she said her name was Evul, was super nice and welcoming.

    3.5 Stars // Honestly I thought this was some wing stop wings type place but this looks more like a small business Canes. Great service, decent(?) food and price... but I got combo 1 and the burgers were bigger than expected BUT the buns were cold like it was taken out of the fridge. The chicken was super hot but I feel like cold buns really ruined it. There was also some signature sauce that was not that great either... very average. On the bright side, chicken was very moist

    Genuine customer service by the owner besan and his employee Han. Got to spin the wheel after following the instagram page, and won free ranch ‼. Had the slider combo #1 shared it with a coworker very filling each slide. Definitely best chicken spot in Anaheim for me will be coming back for that Mac and cheese chicken !!!

    Hotbox Chicken Tender. It was flavorful but I think they can do better than 1 sliver of pickle
    Kat H.

    Looks good but the loaded fries were so bland. It had thick cut fries that were soggy and it was loaded with sliced cabbages that did not do it justice. Even drenching in sauce didn't help this dish just made it more difficult to eat. The flavor was very bland and one note. The chicken tender itself was the only thing good here but I wouldn't come back at all. Service was awkward and the location was sketchy.

    First time ordering from hot box chicken, i got the dynamite loaded fries, has way too much coleslaw looks more like a salad, could use some cheese on the fries and more chicken

    Came here as it looked really good on the yelp reviews but was disappointed. By first glance everything looked very dry sadly and nothing like the pictures but still gave it a go. I got combo #3 which comes with a slider, tender and fries. The bread on the slider was cold, and did not taste warmed up at all, the chicken was hot but had no flavor and was pretty dry as it seemed like they just added seasoning to it. The buns are also way bigger than the tender. The tender I got tasted like it was reheated or refried so it was a bit stale and chewy. The fries were the best part but they were just okay. They also have a sauce but nothing special just tastes like thousand island. Despite the food, customer service was great, the girl who attended us (9/14 around 6pm) was very nice and brought us out our food.

    If you're a fan of halal food and a fan of chicken, come check this place out to get some solid protein. I was feeling hungry and wanted something relatively healthy and found this spot on yelp. Both items I got (the sandwich) and the combo box tasted great. If I had to choose one I would prefer the sandwich mainly cause I felt it had more flavor than the combo box. Both items, the chicken tasted great. The combo box, however, I wish the portion was a bit bigger. But in my case, one item was not enough to fill me up. So if you have a big appetite,I suggest getting 2 items cause they do take a while to make, especially the sandwich. All in all, I would recommend this place to another person to check out.

    Combo 3
    Damond W.

    This was my first time trying Hotbox out. I was searching for some chicken and fries and saw the reviews for this location. The young guy at the register was cool. Very clean and well maintained place. Now the food was very satisfying. I ordered the combo 3 and was enjoying every bite in addition the sauce that's given amped up the flavor. I will be return to them again to try some other combos that caught my attention. I do recommend them if you're looking for some good chicken and fries.

    Habibi Sandwich
    Ebony G.

    Habibi's Hot Chicken is decent--definitely better than Dave's, as I think most hot chicken places are. However, the chicken could use more flavor; nothing about it stands out enough to make me want to go back. Also, you have to pay extra for all the sauces unless you order a combo. Even if you get a sandwich and fries, which is wack, at least one sauce should be included for free.

    Shosho's Loaded Fries

    AMAZINGGGG. Didn't even get a picture before I dug right into it because it just smelled so amazing. 10/10 I got the sho sho fries it the chicken, on Mac on fries!! My entire family loved this place

I came here on a whim, looking for a single entree meal for myself to eat for dinner. This meant the lunch specials were over, but he still kindly allowed me to order a lunch box since I wasn't looking to buy a big order of chicken. He also let me taste test the chicken with a spicy sauce he recommended, which I thought was super generous of him since it was pretty much a few extra pieces of chicken for free. Although the chicken wasn't as crispy as I wanted to be, it could have been the sauce and the closed to-go container that made it like that. Despite the lack of crunch, the flavor was very good and the rice that came with it had some type of chili/onion topping which gave it so much more zing. The chicken was also served on a bed of shredded green onion which was a nice touch since I love onions. All in all, the food was good and Jae's service and welcoming vibes were outstanding, so I definitely plan on coming back to support him and his business.

When I would come inside, I would see their other limited time food items, like their brussel sprouts and order that as well. I really enjoyed their brussel sprouts and now sad to see it gone. I joined the Mama Hieus App which makes ordering ahead easier for pickup. I really like the app bc its simple to plan your dinner ahead. You can pick the day and time you want to pick-up. If I could make one request, is if you can give customers (me) the option to pay like extra $1-$2 for their orders to be ONLY FLAT WINGS on small orders. The chicken is so well crispy and coated and the non flat wings are too meaty but then carry less of your delicious seasoning in my opinion. Does that request exist?
