    First time trying Jollibee and was so excited to read the reviews that they had crispier skin than most other fast foods and that it was the GOAT of fast food joints. The food did not disappoint! We got the spicy bucket 10 piece leg and thigh, pineapple quencher, 5 piece chicken nuggets, spicy deluxe chicken sandwich (no tomatoes) and large fries. I ordered everything via their app, got $10 off $40 which was a very good deal. My husband went and picked the order up as it's located minutes from home. He had to wait over 10 minutes since there was a big line to pick up orders but the staff were friendly. The spicy chicken bucket wae delicious. The coating was thin and there was no mess upon eating the chicken. The juiciness and spiciness co-existed together and the taste was awesome. The srirscha mayo sauce was delicious! The pineapple quencher was pricey for the size but it was delicious! A little too sweet but enjoyable. The sandwich was beautiful! I loved it. I added extra cheese with no tomatoes and it was delicious! The nuggests were delicious as well. Less breading and more chicken and chicken that tasted like chicken. Best nuggets! I wish the fries were warm. That was the only off putting thing! The drive home was less than 4 minutes and the fries were hard and cold. I wish they were freshly made. I will be ordering more in the future! Loved it!

    Ube Pie

    Food: Ordered a 4pc Chicken Tender Meal Deal with a side of Jolly spaghetti, extra gravy, a Peach Mango Pie, and a Ube Pie. The chicken was freshly fried, perfectly cooked, had a great crunch, and dipped perfectly in the gravy! I was actually very impressed. The Jolly spaghetti is a must for me even though it's only ok. The peach mango pie had the perfect crispy flaky crust that you want and the sweet filling took it to the moon. The Ube pie was sweet but didn't have that full on Ube flavor that I was hoping for so it missed the mark for me. Ambiance: Very friendly staff. They went straight to the tables to clean them once people left from them. They were efficient and the vibes were welcoming and friendly. Parking: Plenty of mall parking in the area. I'm going to hold off on my secret spot though

    Haven't ordered from here in a while, but their app makes it so convenient to order again. Being able to place an order ahead of time is super helpful because this place is always packed! It saves us from having to wait forever once we arrive. The app also regularly offers really good deals like $10 off $30 or more, which makes feeding the family a lot more affordable. The Bucket Treat A is perfect for my family since it comes with 2 sides plus gravy. The adobo rice was surprisingly good and my daughter absolutely loves their spaghetti. Adding the palabok fiesta pretty much completes the meal for us. And of course, we can never skip the peach mango pie. The app has given us free ube pie offers a few times, but honestly nothing beats the peach mango pie. Still the best dessert on the menu in my opinion. Definitely a great option for a busy weekday meal when you want something quick, filling, and easy for the whole family

    3pc Chicken Tenders
    Raymond M.

    The Chickenjoy bucket came with three drumsticks and three thighs. Flavor wise, it tasted like an ordinary fried chicken. I did like how moist, tender, and crunchy the chicken was. The palabok was okay. The sauce felt thick and paste-like, which didn't mix well with the rice noodles. It lacked that smooth, evenly coated bite I was expecting. The chicken tender was tasty, but small for the price. They taste similar to Raising Cane's tenders, including the sauce that comes with them. Both the ube pie and peach mango pie were yummy, but also on the smaller side. Good flavors, but wish they were a bit bigger. As for the experience, there are three self order kiosks, which is convenient. Customer service was okay and the service itself was slow, considering how many employees were working. The wait time for the food took about 15 minutes. Aside from that, the restaurant was clean and there was plenty of parking available.

    Chickenjoy has come a long way! The crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned pieces of enormous chicken parts have proven to become the Best Fast Food Fried Chicken in the country -twice. It just took a while for America to finally notice. This review is long overdue. Thought it'd be timely to give them praise not only for their recent award-winning Chickenjoy, but also for their upgraded technology. Love the enhanced customer experience with the self-order kiosks and the ready pick up screen. You can monitor your order being prepared... what a concept! Ha! Definitely more convenient and efficient, especially during those busy times. Lastly, I need to give a shout out to the large workforce that keeps the restaurant clean. Time for my monthly rotation. I'll have the usual... A bucket of Chickenjoy and 6 peach-mango pies for the family!

    Chickenjoy, please [Milpitas CA] I've not dined in a Jollibee in a long time so we decided to have a quick dinner here while at the Great Mall in Milpitas. The line was long but it went fast. What took long was waiting for the food. They yell out your name when your order is ready but if you're seated at the dining room area you probably won't be able to hear your name when called, many folks were standing nearby including the hubby while I grabbed a table. Offering all-time favorites we ordered a combo of Chickenjoy w/ Jollibee Spaghetti. Catering to the Filipino community and Filipino-American families living in the area, Jollibee brought a familiar feeling of home. So yummy... there's always a line at Jollibee. Your best entrance to Jollibee at the Great Mall is in Entrance 1, located in Neighborhood 1 across from Starbucks. Review #3942

    Ube Coconut Freeze
    Melinda K.

    This location is the busiest since it's conveniently located inside Great Mall. Their newly installed kiosks aren't working, so I have no choice to wait in line to try their limited edition Ube Coconut Freeze and Katseye Korean BBQ fried chicken. The ube coconut freeze is refreshing with good amount of Ube. Don't recommend drinking out of a regular straw, so I have to find a boba straw to sip. Katseye Korean bbq chicken wasn't spicy as their spicy crunchy chicken, but the flavorful crispy skin goes well with a side of mashed potato. I do like the decor here, but it's challenging to find an available seat during the weekends, especially holiday shopping season.

    Bucket of Spicy Fried Chicken

    It had been awhile since we had Jollibee's Fried Chicken. Thankfully, a friend brought it to our potluck! This was the first time, I had it with their brown gravy. Wow, that was delicious. I think I still prefer just the Fried goodness of the chicken. But, it was very flavorful with the lard-laden gravy. LOL.

    Visited on a busy Saturday for lunch. Parking was in the shared mall lot. The place was busy but kept clean by the staff. Our order took some time to be ready ~20 mins. Chickenjoy and Palabok were delicious and tasted the same as the original ones I've tasted in the Philippines. Just wish they has calamansi for the palabok though. Prices a bit up there. Overall, I'd give this place a 3.5/5.

    Had a very disappointing experience at the Jollibee in Milpitas. So we ordered a family bucket and a half gallon of pineapple quencher so we spent a decent amount of money and we simply asked for ice to go with the half gallon drink. One of the associates was about to give us a large cup of ice, but the manager immediately stopped him, told him to take it back, and instructed him to give us small cups instead. Watching that happen right in front of us was honestly so embarrassing. Being so stingy over ice is UNBELIEVABLE!! It's not about getting something for free--it's about basic customer service and treating customer right. The manager's behavior left a very negative impression. Instead of making customers feel great, they made us feel like asking for ice was asking too much. A little generosity and common sense would have gone a long way. VERY DISAPPOINTING MANAGEMENT. I hope Jollibee addresses this because this experience can drive customers away.

    Peach Peach Mango Pie
    Desa C.

    This place was PACKED full of people. We waited 15 minutes to use self serve kiosk then another 35 minutes for food. When we ordered there were zero places to sit our family of four. But by the time food was ready we had a table. Not sure if coming on Sunday at noon was a good idea. The chicken was crispy and juicy but not much flavor. Maybe spicy has more flavor but I'm not a fan of too hot foods. Gravy has a robust chicken stock flavor that is a little over powering after a few bites. Fries were good, burgers just ok and special sauce wasn't all that special. Not too sure why people rave about it or call it best chicken chain. I wouldn't make a point of coming back but wouldn't be mad if we I had to eat here again. Just not my first choice for fried chicken.

    This is a Filipino fried chicken chain store . Today is Saturday and the line is super long . Most people who lined up Filipino. The chicken is served super hot in temperature. The skin ( outside batter ) was very flavorful. The inside is tender and juicy but did not get marinated like Popeye chicken . The meat is so tender that reminds me of KFC chicken . Similar grade of chicken . Too soft , not my personal preference. Ambience is fun and family oriented.

    Fried chicken, gravy, spaghetti, mashed potatoes
    Annie K.

    Be ready to spend forever here if you go on a Saturday afternoon. The parking is very bad since it's right by the mall and we had to park all the way back by Home Depot because everyone was just circling for spots. Then the kiosks were "down" even though they looked totally fine, so it took forever to order and longer to get your order. They need a better system for the rush. It's chaotic with customers and staff rushing back and forth throughout the place. They also just give you these flimsy paper plates to use to eat. The spaghetti was the highlight though, delicious and way better than I expected for fast food. I'd give it a 7.5. The chicken was fresh and crispy but the flavor is just okay, kind of generic like the gravy. Chicken is a 7.1 for me. I would try their other items next time, like the ube pie and other pies. Heads up: You really have to budget a lot of extra time for this place.

    3 piece chicken joy meal.

    Are they opened now? I tried calling but no one picked up

    Are they open for Dine-in?

    They are currently not open at all.

    Is this place open?

    Still closed as of 12/12/2021

    Why is it that your store website, holding message from your stores phone and your stores signs say that you are open for pick up and DoorDash service until 7pm but your door dash profile on the app says you close at 6? Can you fix this?

    Is the ube pie available at this location or anywhere in San Jose?

    lol. I just came across this babe

    I got a 10 Pc bucket. Is it normal for it only to contain legs and thighs? What happens to the wings and breasts?

    Yes, it's normal. They only put legs and thighs in buckets. I'm not even sure if they have breasts. They don't have wings for sure.

    How much for a blowout tray of spaghetti?

    Around $35

    Do they still have adobo rice?

    Yes

    Do they sell gift cards?

    Yes!

    Do they offer order takeout?

    I think you can only order larger orders ahead of time. I haven't seen anyone pick up individual called in orders.

    Did they remove their small sandwiches (spam sandwich, sausage sandwich, chicken sandwich, etc.) If so, does anyone know when exactly they removed it? I was passing by sort of quickly and glanced at their menu and couldn't see them.

    Hi Tom! Yes, Jollibee marketing decided to stream line our menu so little big bites are no longer available since April of this year.

    How many pieces of chickenjoy are there in a bucket? Also, can I order ahead? (Aug 2018)

    There are 6 pieces of chicken per bucket! Yes, you may call in advance if you are planing to purchase several buckets!

    Do they still have weekday bundles (July 2018)?

    Nope, they don't advertise it. They have a bundle for $30 with chicken joy bucket, family platter spaghetti, and 4 peach mango pies

    How big is the spaghetti blowout tray?

    I didnt see it on the menu. Just a regular size plate.

    Can i place an order ahead of time for the blowout tray for spaghetti?

    Yes. Just order by phone.

It has definitely become one of our go-to spots for Korean fried chicken, even though we've noticed a few hiccups along the way. Our Absolute Favorites (Highly Recommend): Gangnam Style Wings & Soy Garlic Wings: These are our top tier wing choices--packed with flavor! BBoom Chicken (Boneless): This seems new, or maybe we just missed it previously. Either way, it is incredibly delicious and has officially been added to our favorites list. Rose Ddeok-bokki: So good! Pro tip: make sure to add cheese if you are a cheese lover. Kimchi Fried Rice: Always delicious and satisfying. Other Flavors We've Tried: Cheesling Wings: These are good, but a little too sweet for my personal taste. Honey Garlic Wings: They are just okay. Golden Original Wings: A little too plain for me; we didn't like these as much as the sauced options. Side note: The complimentary pickled radish that comes with the chicken is fantastic. It's super refreshing and the perfect companion to cut through the heavy, oily food. The Only Downside: The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the quality isn't totally stable. Most of the time it is great, but occasionally our wings aren't very crispy, and there was one time when the wings we received were surprisingly small. Overall, the flavors here are fantastic and the good definitely outweighs the bad. We will definitely keep ordering from here!

I kept going back for awhile but started to notice the fry on the chicken wasn't the same so I stopped for maybe a year. After I finished dining at the restaurant next door, bbq chicken looked like it was closed (like permanently!). I was actually so disappointed because I did want to give it another try. A couple weeks later I checked online and they were open again! I went back and omg it is SO much better! I don't know what they did.. did the recipe change? Did they change the oil? Different oil? Whatever it is, keep it up because this chicken is so smacking good. Even my brother said this is actually pretty comparable to the ones in Korea. Only one thing to note is the original spicy isn't as spicy as it used to be! Maybe add a bit more kick to it? Otherwise, it was a great experience, plenty of seating, very clean and casual interior. Can't wait to go back!

Service is quick, and the staff are friendly. Ordering is self-service, and the chicken feet come pre-packaged, so they're ready pretty quickly. It's mainly a takeout spot, but they do have a small, clean area with a few seats if you want to eat there. I also like that you can try different flavors without having to commit to just one. My favorite is the lemon, followed by the peppercorn, then garlic. The garlic flavor can be a little strong, while the lemon also has a hint of garlic but is much more mild and balanced. The chicken feet are already deboned, which makes them easy to eat.

As much as I love the deep fried, stewed, saucy dim sum chicken feet, I grew up eating chicken feet akin to the ones at Kickin flavors, so I was thrilled to check them out. They are located next to a Ranch 99 in a shopping plaza with plenty of parking. The store is small but clean and cute. There is a display case with all the chicken foot flavors, pre-packaged. The man working there was very friendly and allowed me to sample all the flavors. I tried the Thai, the spicy, and the garlic, and ended up going for the garlic (though the Thai was a close contender!) The chicken feet are cut into smaller pieces and deboned quite well. The garlic flavor is pungent and refreshing; I definitely needed mouthwash after eating it though! The flesh is crunchy and flavorful, just super super satisfying. Overall, the chicken feet here are quite well made and prepared. I think the price is a bit steep but you definitely get what you pay for. As someone who likes deboning the chicken feet myself, it did feel like I was missing that 2% to take this place to the next level. I would love for them to also offer bone-in chicken feet at a slightly lower price, I would totally go for that!

This time, at one of their brick and mortar locations, there were many pros and cons. For one, I love that they actually put the "hot" in nashville hot chicken. Their medium packs a small punch unlike similar spots which are overly mild. Second, the fries and sauce here are amazing!!! The thick crinkle cut fries are not my favorite style usually, but here they make em so crispy with a soft pillowy center. Also so well-seasoned. I also like the seasoning on the hot chicken- it's less salty than most places and more of a real chili pepper flavor to it. Now for what wasn't my favorite: the chicken was a tad bit on the dryer side and the batter was an in-between of crispy and stale. The loaded mac came with both fries and mac n cheese. The mac itself was a bit bland, but everything out together was not bad. They had what seemed like no AC or proper ventilation when we went and it was so warm! Had us sweating by the end of the meal from both the spice and the heat. Workers were bare minimum of taking your order, and it took around 10 min for everything to come out. Overall: 3.6/5

Not to mention the staff is nothing but kind, friendly, helpful and amazing. Three staff members that were very notable were G, Blanca, and Jackson. Blanca always has a smile on her face and always makes the visits enjoyable. She always makes sure my friends and I have everything before we leave and one thing that's very notable is the fact that she doesn't treat anyone differently. She gives that same courtesy to every customer and that's rare in food service. Jackson is really chill and helpful, he's very professional but also has a side to him that makes him feel like a homeboy. He's always been kind and respectful to everyone, and always has patience with everyone. Lastly, I remember meeting G since the establishment opened, from day one he's been nothing but nice and kind and honestly had so much patience with me when I didn't know what I wanted. G to me is someone who has immense respect for everyone and doesn't hesitate to make sure it's known. I would 100% recommend chicken drip to all my friends and family.

    I don't know of Hanian chicken places in the area, but Chicken Meets Rice consistently makes…read moredelicious chicken! I always opt for the dark meat with skin on. Plus their sauces taste great! I like that they let you choose 2 options. I also enjoy how they use persian cucumbers instead of regular cucumbers. The rice itself is also delicious because it's flavored with chicken broth! Chicken Meets Rice is a solid spot for a balanced meal. While I've only tried this place through DoorDash, it seems that this place receives many to-go orders.

    I've been a fan of CMR for a long time. There was even a period when I had it for lunch for almost…read more2 months straight at their Cupertino location lol. I've tried all their chicken options, and Hainan is still the winner for me. It pairs so well with their chicken rice and broth. My favorite sauces are definitely the Thai Ginger Soy and Sesame Teriyaki. I also like adding fried tofu once in a while. This one was super crispy on the outside and soft and airy inside. I just wish they offered peanut sauce instead of sweet chili, but it was still good! The regular box is the perfect portion for me, and the fresh ingredients and flavors are exactly why I keep coming back. Their chicken wings, on the other hand, were kinda meh. I got them during a DoorDash promo, so it was still a good deal, but as a big fan of fried bone-in chicken, these didn't really wow me. The batter was super thin and didn't feel fully coated or crispy enough. The meat texture was also a little off, I'm guessing the wings might have been boiled before frying, but I could be wrong. Either way, I'll stick with my regular Hainan box from now on. Still my go-to whenever I'm craving chicken and rice!

    Love Scratch Cookery. This is what a Nashville hot chicken sandwich is supposed to be…read more Unlike a lot of the chains like Dave's where it can basically feel like a chicken tender thrown into a bun, Scratch serves a huge, thick piece of actual chicken breast. The portions are serious, the chicken is juicy, and the breading has a great crunch. What really sets them apart for me is the spice. I've had levels 3, 4, and 5, and they're not simply the same seasoning with progressively more heat. Each level actually has a different pepper profile and flavor. Level 3 brings cayenne and Thai chili, level 4 moves into Thai chili and habanero, and level 5 adds habanero and ghost pepper. You can taste the difference, not just feel more burn. The seasoned fries are great too and they definitely don't skimp on the portions. It is a little pricey for a chicken sandwich and fries, but when you see the size and quality of what you're getting, I think it's worth it. Scratch is easily one of my favorite hot chicken spots.

    The ambiance inside was about a 3/5. It felt a little dirty, and the windows could definitely use a…read moregood cleaning. The outdoor seating, though, was really nice. We ordered the Texas chicken sandwich and chicken strips. Portions were generous, and the sandwich was super tasty. The strips were fresh and flavorful, but be careful with the spice levels! We ordered level 1 and it was flaming hot. Even level 0 has a kick, so I'd recommend going one level lower than you normally would. The curly fries were also great. Overall, a solid 4/5. The only star off was for the spice-level calibration. Great food and portions, and we'll definitely be back!

It was my first time here as I assumed it was new. I would often drive by this place. The cashier pointed me to the kiosk instead of helping me. No biggie! Some of the items on the menu display in the front of the kitchen at the top weren't available on the kiosk. Adding a combo wasn't an option as well. I went to the cashier instead. I had attempted to order a macaroni and cheese bowl with chicken tenders and buffalo sauce. The cashier had told me that it wasn't available so I changed it to a rice bowl instead. He then later told me that it actually was available, so I attempted to order again. Meanwhile, the cook was just standing there staring at me. I tried to order my original things I had initially tried to order which was the macaroni and cheese bowl with chicken tenders and buffalo sauce, no additives. I wanted to make it a combo which would have gotten me side and a drink. The cashier told me that it was a new POS system which I'm cool with and totally understood. He was not able to find it for a bit. Eventually, he seemed to figure it out, only to punch in the wrong combo. He had punched in that I only wanted chicken tenders. I tried to tell him that I wanted the bowl and to turn it into a combo. The side I wanted was the jambalaya. I repeated my order again. At this point, I was getting very impatient. At this point, the cook maybe went to the back and came back just to stare at me. I guess the cashier left the area to walk over to the kiosk to try to make the order from there, however, I also noticed that there was a price difference between what was displayed on the kiosk and what was on the menu in the front of house. I explained to the cashier that the prices did not match even though the macaroni and cheese with chicken tenders bowl was available. I tried to ask if he could explain to no avail. I was upset with the cashier when he just shrugged after asking him regarding the price difference. It kind of felt like they did not want to serve me or did not want my patronage. I think the cashier was more interested in just being on the phone since it was out in the open when I had arrived. Meanwhile, the cook was still staring at me. He didn't seem like he knew how to work the POS system. I thanked them for their time and left. I ended up going next door to eat. And this is why I do not have any pictures of food from this place.
