The Yelp rating does live up to hype. Prices are very reasonable. All entrees are less than $14. Limited menu but they do it well. Stall are super friendly and helpful. The restaurant is well maintained and clean. Fried chicken fingers are super moist and skin super crispy. That's hard to pull off and get right. Be careful about the spice... It's really spicy if you are not used to it. Recommend medium and add more spice to your liking. Mexican street corn pretty good.. no complaints here. Chicken katsu is made not in traditional Hawaiian BBQ sense but works. Highly recommend

With the ever groing chicken tender spots, kickin chicken has a spot in the Denver food scene. What makes them stand out are the fresh ingredients and being the only Asian inspired with a Mexican twist joint out there (correct me if I'm wrong). There are many hot chickens, but those flavors get tiring and honestly it's more one dimensional in taste. The chicken Katsu isn't your traditional Hawaiian/Japanese but it's close. They put their own twist on it and it delivered. I personally still prefer the Hawaiian style chicken Katsu but this is very good. I wish the Mac salad was creamier as it was pretty dry that night. The elote was good, but nothing to rave about. The fried rice complimented the chicken well. White rice would also go well to help with the saltiness of the chicken. The tenders are good and juicy. It has a light breading which is great since it emphasizes the meat of the chicken well. They priced their meals perfectly and its cheaper than many places which makes it a hit. I wish I can give it a 5 but it's closer to a 4.25. Kickin chicken will be in my rotation for post shift meals since it's conveniently placed across the street!

I have seen Kickin Chicken when they were a mini food truck collaborating with a boba shop but never got the chance to try it. When I was visiting the hospital, I passed by and saw the location so I had to stop by (I didn't even know they had a physical location). Holy cow, I'm so sad I didn't try it earlier. The chicken tenders are so good along with the jalapeño bubble waffle (sadly didn't take a picture of it). Everything was very flavorful and I like that I can adjust the heat level so it was mild and good for my digestion. I need to come back and try the coleslaw. I also ordered the churros and they were so tasty. A nice dessert treat. I did take mines to go and I had to make a detour so my food was quite soft. So if you're planning to not eat it right away, throw it in the air fryer to reheat it. Overall, space is quite large and lots of natural light. There's plenty of seating. Cannot wait to come back!

I was in the Denver area recently and saw the good reviews for Kickin chicken so we decided to stop in. The building was very clean. Everyone we interacted with was very nice. And I really liked all of the Kickin chicken decor. For an entrée, I decided to go with the chicken sandwich. I liked that it was on Texas toast and the bread held up really well. The crispy chicken thigh was so tender and juicy. And I'm normally not a fan of slaw, but I liked the slaw on the sandwich. The sandwich was also really big and it even comes with a side. For a side, I got the Elotes. They were OK. They definitely give you a hefty portion. But I didn't get an elote feeling from it. I wish there was some more sauce. I did try a french fry and they were OK. In the future, I would try the fried rice as a side because someone dining nearby ordered that and it looked phenomenal. I ordered a Thai iced tea to drink, and it was sweet and refreshing and a great accompaniment to my meal. And for dessert, I had to get some churro bites. Those were fantastic. I had to take some with me because I was so full from my meal. I will definitely stop by again if I'm in that area in the future and I highly recommend that you stop in and have a delicious meal.

The staff was super friendly and the food came out so fast! I really enjoyed the Thai iced coffee and could stop in here just for that. The spicy chicken sandwich was really good. I got a side of jalapeno honey mustard that also paired well with it. The elite was ok, but I'd tryba different side next time. The art on the walls was really fun also, especially the large wall. I didn't scan the QR codes near the canvas items, but I assume those were for sale and a few caught my eye. Parking was easy and it's all right by the children's hospital.

Food: got the chicken & waffles (8/10), chicken katsu (7/10), side of the elotes (6/10), and Thai tea (9/10) -- their signature kickin sauce is good too! Service: friendly and quick service Price: was so surprised at the amount of food we each got for the price ~$14 each meal Ambiance: casual, spacious, clean, played top mainstreamed music Would def come back!

Someone recommended me to try Kickin Chicken, and I'm sure glad they did! The people at the front counter were really nice, and the mini art museum inside was impeccable. I decided on the chicken and waffles with spicy chicken, and fried rice as a side. I do wish they offered more than just the 2 tenders, the jalapeño cheddar bubble waffle was a little too soft, and the fried rice could've had a bit more moisture it was kinda dry (this is me being picky though because the rice was very flavorful.) The chicken had a sweet spicy sauce that came with it that was OUT OF THIS WORLD. I will definitely be back!

Stumbled upon this new Kickin Chicken restaurant when I had to exit 225 during a rainstorm. I popped in for a snack, and I absolutely can't wait to be back! Simple menu, but many options for sauce and spiciness level. I got an order of chicken tenders, the kickin sauce (a house sauce- VERY much recommend) and the honey mustard. Juicy, crunchy tenders fried to perfection. The elote Mexican street corn was also yummy. Can't wait to try their other side dishes.

Staff was super friendly and checked in with us multiple times. The chicken tenders were huge portions and the kickin sauce was incredible!

*They are located near the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. This is a must for lunch or dinner. The staff gets a 5 for being over the top with their friendly customer service -The food gets 5. The why- The burgers & fries are crazy good! We will be back. I want to try the curry fries next time.

This place was delicious. We tried quite a number of things on the menu and nothing was disappointing. I love the feel of the restaurant. It was large open space and very clean. The customer service was on point. We were there probably in the last 30 minutes of them being open and they still made us feel welcome and not like we were bothering them. The chicken was delicious and so was the Elote and so is the fried rice is absolutely no complaints. Everything was great. We also got the bread pudding, which is slightly unmemorable to me so I would have to try it again. The next time I go because I didn't take a picture. Can't wait to try again.

The restaurant options keep growing by the UCHealth Anschutz campus and Kickin Chicken is a great option for fried comfort food. The service was outstanding, the food tasty and flavor for fast casual. Only complaint is it's a little pricey for lunch ($36 for two entrees with sides and a soda). We got the chicken sandwich and the Katsu chicken options The portions were generous and we definitely had leftovers. The macaroni salad was a great (included) side with the katsu chicken. The chicken sandwich was delicious and just too much food, for lunch. Love the Texas toast "bun." Kickin Chicken was clean and quiet with plenty of space. Again, the service was outstanding, the staff was friendly and very considerate. We will put this in our rotation for meal options when our days are spent at the Anshutz campus. Giving five stars for the good food, service and clean atmosphere.

New place that just open it was on my saved list. Close to work decided to give it a try. I got the chicken tenders and a side of mac salad. Came with 2 sauces and i got thai tea. The chicken delish. Hot, fresh and juicy. The tender was well seasoned. Didn't even need dipping sauce. I got mild for the heat level. I for some reason got my hopes up on the mac salad. It was ok. Definitely will go back to try other sides. The service was great took my order food made fresh.
