Yum! I saw a TikTok review of this restaurant so I had to try it for myself. The Peruvian chicken is delicious and very moist. The French fries too were delicious and ample. Mac and cheese rounded out the sides and I would order it again. We also ordered the fried chicken sandwich that needed not sauce or condiments. It's served on a delicious bun with pickles, lettuce and tomatoes. Excellent sandwich. I will definitely return for another delicious meal. Place is very clean too and the staff pleasant. read more

I stopped by Just Chik'n for lunch and was impressed by the value. For about $20, I got a half chicken, two sides, and a small cookie. I arrived hungry and excited to try the food, especially after hearing good things about the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to my expectations. The black beans tasted like they came straight from a can and had virtually no flavor. The chicken was tender enough, but the only flavor I could taste was salt. In fact, it was so salty that I found myself reaching for the green sauce with almost every bite just to make it enjoyable. Without the sauces, I don't think I would have finished the meal. Be prepared to drink plenty of water afterward. On the positive side, the customer service was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. The prices are definitely reasonable, and you get a good amount of food for your money. Overall, it's an affordable lunch option with great service and a clean environment, but the food itself could use more seasoning and flavor beyond salt. For that reason, I'm giving it 3 stars. read more

Just awful. Flat, tasteless, chicken patty, and a cold, hard bun. Surly staff on top of it all. And, website shows that a chicken sandwich is $5.99... It is not, it is $8.99. Save yourself some aggravation and just go over to Popeyes for crying out loud. read more

What a crap show this place is. Drove from Syracuse to try this place and ended up just leaving. Hygiene is really questionable I sat and watched one of the employees eating with gloved hands in the food prep area. Then the food came and the rice looked like it was smashed and half starch water. The fact they thought it was a good idea to even give that to someone is mind boggling. I get it if you don't care about your job that's fine don't do things that will get people sick. read more

Cute place for quick lunch break, like the name states... just chicken. Smaller menu but they have the main staples to accompany some tender chicken... I went with their tender juicy spicy tenders with fries... the meal came with a drink. The half chicken looked really good.. I'll try that next time. They are closed on Mondays. read more

I expected this to just be another (highly recommended) chicken sandwich place, and boy was I wrong. As soon as I saw the Peru wall art and the large section of the menu devoted to Peruvian cuisine, I got about 20x more excited. Peruvian chicken is always some high quality, juicy, flavorful chicken, and this place was no exception. I'm so glad that Rochester has a great Peruvian chicken place. The inside wasn't busy (we were the only ones there on a Thursday night), and I suspect most people order takeout. However the environment was pleasant and brightly lit. Service was great. Staff were very kind, helpful, and handled my allergies well. Food was ready very quickly. If you like good quality chicken, this is a must try. -@cophiescrumbs on Instagram read more

Great as always. I haven't had a bad thing on the menu yet and the staff is always super friendly.

Our next stop, the meal at Just Chik'n was excellent, featuring tasty food, a welcoming environment for families, and excellent service. I heartily suggest coming in for a meal, whether you're a Rochester resident or just traveling through. First of all, there is plenty of room for families and larger parties to sit at the restaurant. The option to mix and match tables was especially useful since it allowed us to have comfortable group seating. This adaptability is a big benefit for get-togethers and bigger parties. At Just Chik'n, the service was exceptionally exceptional. The service demonstrated a deep understanding of the food and was incredibly helpful and attentive. They improved our eating experience by promptly answering our inquiries and making wise suggestions. I had the Chik'n sandwich meal, which came with a Diet Pepsi and sweet potato fries with a chili lime flavor. The sandwich tasted great, with properly cooked, tasty, crispy chicken. With their distinctive combination of sweet and sour flavors, the chili lime sweet potato fries were a delicious addition that went really well with the sandwich. The 10-piece chicken nuggets with standard fries and Lemon Tea Pure Leaf were the choice my family made. With their crispy surface and juicy innards, the nuggets were a big hit. Perfectly seasoned and brown in color, the potato fries provided a delightful contrast to the nuggets. An essential note for those with dietary restrictions: the chicken here is halal. This consideration makes Just Chik'n an inclusive option for a broader range of customers. read more

Flavor is the reason to come to Just Chik'n. The rice and beans alone were super flavorful and the chicken didn't disappoint. The Aji Verde sauce is spicy, smooth and vibrant. I also thought the value factor was pretty good here. 1 full size bowl, 1 mini bowl and 2 drinks was under 32 dollars. The menu has just a few different combinations of the same few ingredients. The dining room is a little spartan. They don't have fountain drinks. Still, I'll be back for another bowl for sure. read more

I was disappointed when I walked in. Not so much a restaurant, but a stark take out food establishment. I was even more disappointed when I saw the menu. Only a few items seem Peruvian, the rest looked like any American Chicken fast food place. I ordered the Machu Bowl- Shredded Chicken, Chaufa Rice, Salsa Criolla, Turtle Beans. The Chicken was very well seasoned, but too little. I think they deboned a drumstick and that is the portion. The Chaufa Rice (indescribable with a handful of dried Turtle Beans on top) fills the container, and the Salsa good all of a spoon. There is some Yucca Fries on the menu, what about Papas Huancainas and Causa... For an Americanized Peruvian fast food place is not bad, the Chicken is quite tasty. read more

On my drive back to Buffalo, was hungry after just running the Rochester American Heart 5k Run/Walk.. it was later when I had stopped in around 830ish this past Thursday... and know I need something to eat... so of course went on YELP for recommendations. I must admit the reason for the 4 star rating, it was a little hard to find and in an odd plaza , even with using my GPS. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming and bright, which is something you don't generally see for a fast food place. Until this past week, I never realized that Peruvian chicken existed. My selection was the chick'n nuggets entrée, which were made fresh, and came with your choice of dipping sauce. Arriving later, as it was, very impressed on the portion size, taste and the chicken was steamy, pipping hot. Fast service and great taste, for something quick and filling. read more

I was hungry after an appointment and decided to try Just Chic'n for the very first time (hard to believe with all the hype). It was late lunchtime so I just ordered their deluxe sandwich which means that lettuce and tomato is added. I also asked for some verde sauce on the side and I'm glad I did as without the sandwich was tasty, but dry. The result was a nice sandwich, cooked to order, but a bit higher priced than other premium chicken sandwiches. I'd like to return and try their Peruvian chicken which could add another star to their review. Nothing wrong with their sandwich, but just average. The place itself was sparse and I assume that although it has a few tables, they are seldom occupied. I guess that most of their business is take-out or delivery. The housekeeping seems lacking as in the photo there was trash next to the storage oven. And the tables were not clean and inviting. Maybe just there so you can sit while your food cooks. read more

Chicken so meaty and delicious! Every time. They really know how to do chicken!! Absolutely recommend!!

I stopped in for dinner and ordered the Spicy Chik'n Strips meal to go, which comes with fries and a drink. I also picked up a pack of Alfajores cookies. It only took about 5-7 minutes for my food to be ready. The chicken strips were crispy on the outside and still juicy on the inside with a good kick of spice. I got the Verde and Amarillo sauces. I really like the Amarillo, it had a garlic flavor, and the Verde is more of a chimichurri kind of flavor. The Alfajores cookies are so good! They're Dulce de Leche filled and are soft with powdered sugar topping. They are a bit dry to bite into, but not in a bad way. I like the texture and the Dulce filling is delicious. read more

Mmmmmmmm nuggets forEVER. Had the opportunity to sample some Just Chik'n nuggets and spicy mayo sauce last week and was SO impressed by how delicious absolutely everything was. My partner did the ordering and found the process ordering off of Yelp to be super seamless and easy. Pickup was ready right when he arrived and said the staff was super kind. I cannot wait to come back someday really soon and try the Peruvian chicken options as well, I love the fact that they have such reasonable prices and meal deals for the whole fam. If you have yet to stop in... do it! Great for lunch or din. Don't skip the nuggets. I am for REAL. read more

Good rotisserie chicken that's moist (had to use the word) and fall off the bone good. Well-seasoned and generous portions. The green Aji Verde sauce is amazing and is probably what brings people back, with just the right amount of kick. I've not tried their fried chicken yet, but the wife's chicken salad was just okay according to her. The greens were a bit wilted and the fried chicken was not too crispy. Maybe it was just an off day in the fryer. What's for certain is that I'll be back for the Peruvian chicken and Aji Verde sauce. read more

This was ok. The people who worked there were nice, but they were understaffed. The food took forever, and when it came out, the fries were cold. The sweet potato fries had a good flavor. The rotisserie chicken was good, but it wasn't as good as Costco... We ordered a meal that came with cookies and some other things, and the servers didn't give it all to us. We went up to ask, but they were so busy we couldn't even ask about it. There were only two people working, and we were the only people eating in there. There were some takeout orders, and they seemed to take forever, too. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again. read more

They are not serving Peruvian style chicken and the chaufa is mediocre, I don't consider ordering again. It's really bad! They have to change the chef cause this is not Peruvian at all! read more

I've been here a couple times and enjoyed the food a lot. Love the different chicken options. All of the sides and sauces I've tried so far (especially the rice and yucca fries) are great! I would've given 5 stars however I did have some issues with ordering last time. Tried calling twice with no answer so I put my order in online. It didn't get accepted for 20 minutes and then when I arrived the order had not been completed so I pretty much waited an hour for 8 chicken nuggets and a side of rice so that was kinda disappointing. There were like 7 people waiting + me. Maybe next time if I order I would try at a less busy time? Or if I can get through on the phone try to get a better idea of how long food would take. Not really sure how to approach next time but if you do get food here, it is good, you just might have to wait for an undetermined amount of time. read more

Chicken is good sweet potato fries are great the chicken could be juicer in the middle

As the name suggests, there's not a lot of options here. There are chicken tenders that come in regular and spicy and a Peruvian rotisserie chicken (a half or a whole). We only tried the fried options today. We could tell the difference between the regular and spicy chicken, However, the spicy wasn't hot, it just had more spices. The chicken tenders were kind of small but tasty. The service was great. Everything was clean, and hand sanitizer was available. Masks are required, of course. I regret not trying the rotisserie chicken so I will definitely be back for that. read more

Best chicken we've found yet in the Rochester area. Freshly made, very tasty, Clean surroundings. Friendly, good service, too.

Ordered the 1/4 Chicken w/Verde Sauce... it was the bomb. Chicken was perfectly cooked, and I enjoyed the flavorful coating. The verde sauce, which packed some heat with t he flavor, was the perfect accompaniment. I ordered the Chicken sandwich for No. 1 son (Jethro) and his verdict was "delicious". Great one-word review from him, esp. since he loves chicken sandwiches, the spicier the better. All in all, an great addition to the Rochester food scene. Very friendly staff! Oh, and if you need it, Just Chik'n is halal! read more

I have never had Peruvian food so I was pretty excited to try this restaurant. It is a fast casual place where you can eat in or order out. The orders came out pretty quick. There are several tables inside which are decently spaced out because of covid. The restaurant is very bright and vibrant. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. They are following covid guidelines They have many options for food. They offer salads, Peruvian chicken, chicken sandwiches, chicken nuggets and sides. I opted to get a sample of Peruvian chicken with Arroz Chaufa Rice and aji Amarillo sauce. I also ordered the chicken sandwich for my spouse with yucca fries with aji verde sauce. My biggest regret is that I ordered it to go because I had to smell the wonderful on the way home and it was distracting. The food is amazing! The Peruvian chicken was so flavorful, tender and delicious. I will definitely order this meal again. My spouse loved his chicken sandwich. I ordered it plain so he added some aji verde sauce to the chicken. The yucca fries were amazing. They were cooked perfectly. The sauces were definitely made in house. The aji verde was herby and had a spicy kick to it. The aji Amarillo sauce is creamy mayo based and had an after hit of spice. They were both very good. read more

This is essentially a take out place, not a restaurant although they do have some tables and chairs. So this review is for the food only! Read a couple Yelp reviews before deciding to visit. For a takeout place, it is a bit limiting. However, the owner explained in another post their thoughts so we should respect that. My main draw was the Pollo a la brasa. So we went ahead and ordered that for the both of us. The special comes with half a chicken, two sides, a drink and an alfajore. The chicken was perfect! Seasoned well, piping hot a joy to devour. I chose the Chautauqua rice and French fries, along with an Inka cola. The chaufa was good, but wished it was plain garlic rice (my opinion). The fries were very good, a close second to McD's surprisingly. The cookie (Alfajore) was the perfect ending. They also provided a spicy green sauce which my husband loves. I am not into spicy so he was happy to have more. I couldn't finish my plate and my husband couldn't either! So this was a lot of food. The price might seem a lot, but then you're getting a lot too. Trust me as it's rare my hubby doesn't finish.Overall, a 5! I am sure we would stop by the next time we're in the area. If you're looking for great tasting chicken, stop by and pick up some great tasting Peruvian chicken! read more

An excellent spot for food in Henrietta. The chicken sandwich was tender, juicy and well breaded. I feel they could turn up the spice levels for their spicy options. They have a house made salsa Verde that is probably some.of the best I have had. Very flavourful. This place is definitely worth a visit or two, I will be returning to introduce my friends to this place. read more

Just chicken was a nice surprise to what thought it was gonna be. I expected just a fried chicken joint but it was more refined and delicious! The Peruvian chicken is the best I've had and it was cooked very well. They Yuca fries were AMAZING! I normally hate yuca in general but theirs was delicious and I would be back for more. They have these little cookies and desserts that are amazing. They round out a perfect meal and are priced reasonably. One thing I liked was how I could see into the kitchen area. Was nice and clean and the food seemed to be prepared in another kitchen but it was still hot and fresh and delicious . All in all Just chicken is worth the try and it brings something different to the Rochester area. read more

Super Duper Cliff Note Review: Rotisserie chicken that may be twice the price of Costco's, but it has 10 times the flavor (and that's BEFORE dipping it in the sauce)! Didn't try any of the fried options, but after seeing how well-spiced and perfectly cooked the yuka fries were, looking forward to checking out the hot nuggets next visit. Only recommendation is to be prepared to be patient with staff as they work out the kinks. read more

I've been hearing a lot of good things about this restaurant from local media sources And social media so I decided to give it a try via ordering on door dash. I decided to go with their half Peruvian rotisserie chicken meal. The meal is decently priced, averaging around $15 and comes with half chicken, fries, drink of your choice and arroz chaufa rice and side of aji verde dipping sauce. Overall, I thought the chicken was well-made and wasn't too dry like a lot of the rotisserie chickens that you usually buy. The aji Verde sauce was actually spectacular And complemented the chicken pretty well, honestly thought that was the best part of the meal. The arroz chaufa rice didn't seem like anything too special to me, it essentially was white rice with mixed vegetables and seasoning. I didn't receive my drink with the meal, but that wasn't a big deal. The meal overall was satisfactory but I think my expectations were a little too high. I do want to try out a different menu item again hopefully dine in or direct pick up (the door dash delivery was longer than usual) and update this review in the near future! read more

Stopped here to check it out for a quick lunch. Opted for the spicy chicken tender meal and a spicy chicken sandwich deluxe for later. Meals come with a drink and fries. Sweet potato fries are a $1 extra. I opted for sweet potato fries. Even with paying extra, it looked like less fries than the sandwich which got regular fries. The regular fries were hot but slightly over salted. The spicy tenders and sandwich were good. I'd try the salad option next time. Free parking out front. They accept Apple Pay. read more

Ordered out here earlier last week. We haven't been out much lately, so it was a surprise to us to find this place. My other half could eat a rotisserie chicken every day if allowed, so he was intent on trying theirs. I ordered the Machu Bowl with chicken. We were both relatively pleased. It's hard to fully evaluate food after it's been in take away containers for the drive home. But, overall I was quite pleased with my dish. The rice was tasty, and I am always a fan of veggies and beans mixed in. The chicken was tasty, a nice mix of dark meat and breast. I couldn't eat all of it, and the animals were treated to some tasty leftovers that they couldn't get enough of. The only complaint we had was the wait time for ordering in person. They told us 10 minutes, but we ended up waiting nearly 30. I think that if we ordered ahead, it would be a better option. Despite that, I would definitely order from this place again! read more

We ordered in-person Monday dinner time. There were only 2 staff working and a steady flow of orders, which meant a bit of wait was necessary. However the staff were absolutely pleasant and friendly. We ordered the 1/4 chicken with Yuca and the verde sauce, spicy chicken sandwich and the lime chili sweet potato fries. All were very tasty. The 1/4 chicken was super soft and juicy, just falling off the bone. The outer spice was savory with a gentle kick. The spicy chicken sandwich didn't have much to it in terms of sandwich stuffers, but it was a juicy piece of chicken while still having a crispy coating with a spice that stuck around. We will definitely become frequent visitors here. And don't let the name fool you, it's more than JUST chicken!!!! read more

You know, I am really committed to supporting small business. I owned a small business and I also worked in the restaurant industry (cooking and baking). And, I know that I have very high standards when it comes to food. Maybe I expect more out of a restaurant and its food than the average customer because I am fortunate enough to be able to cook almost anything myself and when I purchase food, I sort of expect it to be as good or better than what I can make at home. So, if your restaurant is named "Just Chik'n" and that's what you specialize in, I expect it to be some amazingly different and delicious chicken that is worth a special trip. And, I feel that, unfortunately, Just Chik'n fell very short of my expectations. I was fortunate enough to take part in a Yelp Elite event, where this business gifted Yelp Elite reviewers with a free sampling of their food. I chose the 1/4 chicken, yucca fries and aji amarillo sauce. In order to help support the business, I also ordered a chicken sandwich. The 1/4 chicken was tiny (although I didn't expect anything big) and very over-cooked. It was dark meat, which is normally juicier than white meat, but still, it was dry. But, it really didn't taste like much. The yucca fries were okay, but basically flavorless starch. That's not their fault, that's just how yucca is. The aji amarillo sauce was tasty, although it basically tasted like a garlic aioli. I thought there would be some spiciness to it or a little more of the aji flavor. Considering the fact that the chicken really didn't taste like much, you might be better off buying a whole roasted chicken from Wegmans for $6 instead of their half chicken for $6.29 The chicken sandwich was very disappointing. It was a small piece of fried chicken on a bun that wasn't that fresh, with two pickle slices. I don't know if you can tell how small that chicken is from my photo, but it was basically the size of my palm. It was a little on the dry side and didn't really have much flavor at all. I'd certainly rather support a small business than a chain, but I have to say that you can get a much larger chicken sandwich (with a little more flavor), for the same price or less, any day of the week at Popeye's, KFC or BK or Wendy's. Again, looking at some of the positive reviews for Just Chik'n, maybe my standards for dining out are just different than others. I just expected Peruvian chicken to be something unusual and worth making a trip to get. And, it wasn't. Even though I don't see myself returning to this business, since others seem to like it, I hope that they do well. read more

My family and I were looking for a restaurant that had some kind of family meal because we didn't want to get the old standard- a sheet pizza. My cousin saw this place online so we thought we'd give it a try. This was the perfect idea! There were 5 of us and we decided to get the Whole Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken Big Family Meal for pick up. The chicken came in a Rotisserie Bag like you get at Wegmans. The chicken had a very flavorful seasoning and it was very juicy and delicious. You get to choose 3-XL sides so we chose salad, fries, and rice. For some reason, we were charged $3 for rice when it said it was included. The portions of the sides were ample and all very good. The rice I especially enjoyed. Think fried rice but not greasy. The fries were delish. The salad was field greens with cucumbers, tomatoes, and vinaigrette. There was not enough rotisserie chicken for 5 people so be aware if there are more than 3 people. To be on the safe side we ordered nuggets and spicy nuggets ($6) and this made our dinner definitely filling for everyone. This meal comes with some very yummy sandwich cookies. We wish we had ordered extra. I would definitely recommend this place. I love that this is a great family style option but they also have chicken sandwiches, etc as well. read more
