Although I didn't have one, I'm going to have one of the slushies next time.
Dan L.

Wow. I was not prepared for this place. I love a good chicken sandwich, and as I've been getting older the more I'm craving spicy foods. Most places I go when you order something spicy it actually means not spicy. Let me tell you, this place. It's different. I really love the interior of this place, it's got a lot of neon and wood giving it a very cool modern/ rustic feel. It's neat and clean and very warm and inviting. People behind the counter were great. Very friendly. For suggestions. I like the fact that they have the spice meter on the wall, but let's talk about that for a second. I heard a chicken sandwich, and chose the spicy level, a chicken strip at the ready for takeoff heat level, and some fries. Fries. The weight was not long at all and so I got my word to go and came back home. What's really cool is they come in a decorative little box which is kind of fun and is a nice touch for the meal. Now let's talk about the food. The fries were super good, they had a very light seasoning on them, which is good because the seasoning really lies in the chicken. Chicken sandwich first, as I knew that the chicken tender was going to be spicy and I did not want to destroy my taste buds before having the chicken sandwich. Let me tell you something, this place ain't playin'. From the first bite, my mouth was definitely at an almost unpleasant heat level. I take the full responsibility for that, as I did not know when they said spicy they meant spicy. I powered through it though, and found it to be one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. It was crispy, and the spice was addicting for sure. Pickle or two. A bun was super fresh and it was absolutely delicious. The french fries were on point super crispy and lively seasoned so there was definitely no problem there. To be honest, considering the level of spice in the spicy chicken, I was a little nervous about trying the ready for takeoff spice level. Let me just say this, the spice level was definitely hotter but not that bad. I almost think having the chicken sandwich first prepared me for the chicken strip. I definitely used a lot of the sauce on the chicken strip and I think that helped navigate the heat level. Was I sweating at the end of my meal? Yes, yes I absolutely was. But it was worth every bite. Bottom line? I will definitely be going back to this place, although I may have to readjust my reasoning when choosing spice levels. You should definitely check this place out if you're a fan of hot chicken.

Original Hot Chicken Sandwich
Juvanny J.

The hot chicken sandwich was delicious. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender & juicy on the inside. The sauce really stood out too and pairs well with the flavor of the chicken. The fries were crispy and fresh. Exactly how they should be. The mac and cheese was also great. And the customer service was top-notch. Amber was friendly and attentive. And the service was fast. Overall great experience. The ambiance was relaxed alaid back.

Sandwich & Tender

I tried the chicken nuggets and fries. The nuggets were really good and moist. I love the dipping sauce it came with. I don't like things too spicy so I was happy with the mild option. The fries tasted dry and were disappointing. Husband got the sandwich and tender meal. He was a fan of the "lift off". He loves hot things and found it satisfying. He's looking forward to trying the hottest option. We ordered to go and the wait was minimal. Service was great. Overall we were happy and will most likely come back.

Gave me an extra free house and ranch sauce since it's my birthday today I feel so happy I actually luisa made my birthday she needs a raise and her own store please or else I willl never come back please

Houston TX Hot Chicken serving chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, salads, fries choices of different toppings with chicken, Belgian waffle, milkshakes, cookies and drinks. Chicken can be made with no sauce or a choice of flavored sauce. House dipping sauce is included and you can also get additional dipping sauces there are lots to choose from for $1.00. Clean inside, good lighting, good music and friendly staff. I like that the staff are keeps the dining area clean. On the menu: 2 Tenders no pickles and Waffle with French Fries meal. I like that I could choose a different flavor of sauce for each of the chicken tenders, I chose mild and lemon pepper. Good portions. I like the crinkle cut fries that are lightly seasoned. The waffle is yummy it is crispy on the edges. I ordered addition dipping sauces - cheese sauce and ranch. Their house sauce has a little sweet chili flavor. It was my first time here and I like it actually pretty good. I am adding this to my chicken spot rotation.

Original Hot Chicken Sandwich

I have eaten at this place several times over the years and it used to be really good, until today. I ordered on Uber Eats because I was off late.. when I opened the box, there was only a handful of fries, there was a tiny sprinkle of coleslaw, barely any sauce, and the chicken was tough and dry I couldn't even finish eating it. Terrible experience. Sad this place is going downhill. Used to be a favorite, not so much anymore!

I came here on a Friday late night since I was craving chicken tenders. It was a great choice. Starting from the service, angel took our order and he was super pleasant. We got mild, medium, and honey rub. They were all delicious. I usually can't take spice that well but the medium wasn't that spicy to me. I got the house sauce which is prob the best. It's gives sweet thousand island vibes? But it goes well with all the chicken. The chicken was also not dry like some places and the outside was crispy. I believe it was Pedro who made our chicken! Delish. There was also another cashier that was friendly to us, a young white dude. Wish I got his name too. Everything from the start to end was great and I'll be returning whenever I'm craving some tenders!!

Excellent fried chicken - based restaurant. Having lived in Houston myself, I was reluctant to try chicken as I felt there is no such a thing as Houston style chicken. However - it turns out it is Nashville style chicken!!! Very clean and hot environment, good music and good vibes. Original Chicken is pretty good with nice sauces. I tried nuggets as well as sandwich. Loaded fries were awesome!

Found this place thru Yelp and decided to eat here from the great reviews…read more Walked into a beautiful waiting area that felt very welcoming - bigger than it looks from the outside. We were seated as soon as we walked in. Our server was friendly and quick - no complaints. We ordered the Katsu Curry Chicken (you can choose chicken or pork), Donburi Katsu Chicken, Karaage chicken, side fries and shishito peppers. Everything we ordered was delicious. The chicken katsu on both donburi and curry was so juicy. The karaage chicken was great- the fry on it was perfect. Shishito peppers were also delicious. Everything tasted great. If you live in this area, worth trying.

There are several seating arrangements. Japanese music is playing in the background. Very enjoyable with a meal. There is outdoor seating as well. Owners are very kind and welcoming! This is a family-run restaurant, Chef Mark truly takes the time to get to know his customers, making every visit feel like a warm, welcoming experience. The food is amazing. Everything that we have tried was perfection!!! We have got the Wagyu Menchi Katsu Burger, which comes with fries in the cute little tower. Great presentation. It was delicious, very flavorful. Katsu is very tasty, nice texture, and good quality meat. Their Katsu's are crispy, tender, and cooked to perfection, but my favorites on the menu are : the katsu curry and the menchi katsu burger-both packed with incredible flavor. It's a MUST TRY! Overall: Pricing is reasonable for the portions and quality. Staff are very courteous and hospitable. Highly recommend Kiyoshi Katsu House for anyone craving high-quality, authentic Japanese comfort food! Thank you Chef Mark for this wonderful dining experience!

My husband wanted to try it since he loves fried chicken but has never been to Jollibee, so we came for lunch. Fried Chicken - The spicy was a LOT better to me than the non spicy one. It had more flavor and felt less fatty compared to the non spicy. I liked the crunch, but it was pretty oily. The gravy also tasted a bit artificial. Mac and Cheese - I love Mac and cheese so I had to get it! Great cheese flavor and paired well with the fried chicken. Noodles a bit too soft for my liking, but overall pretty good! Fries - Pretty average but big portion! We upgraded to the large and it was large! Crispy and not too soggy even when we got to the bottom. Overall, I don't love the oily chicken, but the flavor was great! Definitely one of the better fried chicken chains out there.
