    Fried rice, Mongolian beef, Hunan chicken
    Mumtaz P.

    Great personal service. Party of two, seated right away. The restaurant smelled wonderful with Mongolian beef and other smells. Ordered tea, soda, Hunan chicken, Mongolian beef, and beef fried rice. Should have gotten a soup too - next time. The dishes were plentiful and delicious. The soda was refilled like three times. Our waitress was really attentive. The staff started cleaning and mopping 15 minutes before closing time so we got out of the way. Luckily we were done eating and just chit chatting by then.

    Fish with black bean sauce

    Very nice place for American Chinese food. We ordered Changsa chicken, Fish with black bean sauce and chicken chow mein. Food came pretty fast and was piping hot. Great flavors. Helpings are good size, you'll likely have leftovers. Good service. Plenty of parking in the mall

    Seafood and vegetables in white sauce.

    Excellent food and service. Have eaten there several times. The only bad comment is there closed Monday. The ladies there take care of you.

    String beans

    I am happpy to have discovered this place as the food is really good but a bit disappointed as this place could really use some organization to make it look esthetic inviting. We went there after the farmers market at the Princeton plaza and honestly almost thought would not eat here as the place looked so disorganized with lots of restaurants goods lying around. Seriously people, we should clean those up to Make the place more inviting for people who care about the ambiance. Now talking about the food and service was a different story, our server was Kevin and he was very informative and patient with our order! Our food: house fried rice, vegetable noodles and stir fry string beans were super delicious. Now I want to try other dishes soon but unless they clean up the place it will be mostly takeout for me when I want to eat at home!

    Peking pork chop

    Came here with family to celebrate a birthday. What we tried: eggplant with shredded pork claypot (3/5) -- eggplant was a bit overcooked and the sauce was overpowering orange chicken (4/5) -- sweeter than average, super crispy battered chicken but more batter than chicken. A little bit of a kick and easy to eat by everyone. beef broccoli (4/5) -- tender meat, big portion and solid flavor peking pork chops (3/5) -- too sweet for peking sauce..maybe too much ketchup and the pork was soggy beef chow fun (3/5) -- the fun was a little too soft for my liking so it kind of felt like overcooked? And the sauce was super strong for me The quality of ingredients is good, but flavors a bit off for me. I would be willing to try more dishes of theirs

    An update! I want to give a shout out, this is genuinely the best takeout restaurant in the area. The food is decently priced, but is always hot, fresh, and amazing tasting. The biggest thing? THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS. To all my fellow gluten-sensitive/free people, they have a bunch of options. They can make pretty much anything breaded with cornstarch, and it is FANTASTIC. I know gluten free is pretty hard to find in terms of takeout, but this place has nailed it. My family and I come here regularly, and absolutely adore it. Typically I order it and pick it up, but when eating in, the restaurant itself is adorable. The staff is always so kind, and the food is pretty speedy. It's a simple pick up, go to the register, give the name and phone number, pay, and boom! Fresh, delicious take out. Make it worth your day and go here!

    I normally wouldn't go out this way to eat Chinese food, but we were invited by family for dinner and checked it out. I would give this place 5 stars just for the customer service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and quick, and made our dining experience very enjoyable. All the dishes we tried were flavor-packed, super hot, and prepared well. I did notice, however, that the food was on the tangier side! The Orange chicken and the Hot and Sour soup were super yum, but very tangy. If that's not your thing, you might want to avoid it, but my wife and I enjoyed it because it is different.

    I was visiting the bay again and had to hit up one of my fav Chinese spots. We were crunched on time so just ordered appetizers. It was fantastic. We saved some to-go and ate it before our flight. It was perfect! Until next time, thank you!!

    ARE Are there lunch specials?

    Yes there is. Good selection.

    Does anyone know if they use MSG?

    I don't believe they use MSG since I am very sensitive to it and never felt ill all the times I've eaten there. Besides, they are very accommodating so if they did, just request no MSG.

I arrived on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. Dave's Hot Chicken is located in the nice Village Oaks Plaza off Cottle Road in South San Jose. Plenty of parking is accessible in the large parking lot all around. The restaurant has a vibrant modern decor with bright fun graffiti plastered all around the walls. It is spacious with plenty of tables inside for dining. I wanted to try a bit of everything so I ordered Dave's meal #3 which consisted of 1 tender, 1 slider, 1 slice of bread, pickles, and a side of Dave's sauce. I selected mild heat level. Everything was delicious. The tender was moist and flavorful. The slider was scrumptious with every bite. Fries were crispy and salted just right. Dave's sauce worked perfectly with everything.

Frozen Minute Maid strawberry lemonade $3.99: One note, my drink wasn't with the order during pick up, delivery person said they weren't given any drink, so double check for that when picking up! It was a winner. The chicken was crispy for everyone's order, and not dry. Now, the breading and meat on the chicken was bland, BUT the sauce for the chicken was perfect for it. Maybe that was the intention, less sodium is a positive! It definitely needed the sauce. Can't go wrong with the fries either, crispy as it should be. It was enjoyed and everyone was in a good coma after. Especially everyone that ordered #3 haha.

    This place has been on my list for a while now…read more I called for a to-go order on 4/12/26 and got the Kao Gai Sap and fried chicken skins. When I came by, there wasn't really any other patrons there so picking up my food was easy. Inside was very decorative too, it has that mom-and-pop vibe to it. Kao Gai Sap (5/5) - The chicken was soft and juicy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. It came with a chili dipping sauce, and I opted for white rice instead of chicken rice. This has to be by far the BEST chicken I've ever had. The chicken was seasoned to perfection. Cucumber was crisp and refreshing, although I do wish there were a few more slices. Would definitely order this again. Also, this Kao Gai Sap also came with a small portion of soup which was also equally as good! When you order this, make sure to ask for it LAAB STYLE! Crispy chicken skin (5/5) - I mean it's fried chicken skin, but I'm pretty sure they used the same salt/pepper seasoning on this as they did with the Kao Gai Sap, which gave it a nice flavor profile as opposed to being plain. The lemon-pepper dipping sauce was the perfect pairing with the chicken skin. The lemon flavor was there as well as the pepper, but both were very mild and didn't overpower each other. That dipping sauce made a HUGE difference. ALSO GET THIS LAAB STYLE! Will definitely be coming back because I'm hooked now. No one does chicken like Tuk Tuk!

And first we were alarmed because we could see no one was in the establishment... maybe not a good sign. But when we walked in, we noticed one of the employees diligently wiping down all of the tables - and the entire place was sparkling clean. She stopped what she was doing and greeted us behind the counter. We were mulling over the four simple menu choices, and she steered us to splitting one. We decided on the Number #1 - sliders - Hot spice level cause I like it hot. When our food was ready, we were shocked, and I do mean, shocked, to find they had split the meal for us. Two different trays, two different plates of fries and one slider each. I'm not sure I've ever experienced that at a fast food restaurant, or even a semi casual dining place without specifically asking. Nice touch customer service wise! To be honest, I wasn't expecting much as far as the food goes. After all, it's chicken and it's semi-fast food chicken. I couldn't have been more wrong. The generous, all white meat tender on the slider was perfectly moist and delicious! The Hot level of seasoning was perfect for me, but a little much for my husband. I think they spell it out correctly on their menu board... Hot-feel the burn, Medium - perfect heat. The coleslaw and the pickles on the slider were a perfect cooling accompaniment. I'm pretty picky about my coleslaw and theirs was very good. The special sauce on the side also added some Yum factor. The fries were hot, crispy, and delicious. Overall, this was so much better than I was expecting. Besides the food being really good, the employee who was cleaning when we walked in and then helping us from behind the counter was absolutely delightful.

    The cashier, Karla, seemed very unwilling to answer basic questions about the food. She also got my…read moreorder wrong. I asked about the difference between medium and mild spice levels, and she told me medium was too spicy and recommended mild instead. I agreed and ordered mild. When I received my order, it was country with no heat. I politely mentioned that I had ordered mild, and she responded, "You did?" as if I was unsure about my own order.. When I got the replacement, it was still country, just with a large amount of spice powder added on top. Mild and country are completely different flavors, not just a difference in spice. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and I won't be returning to this location.

Then about a week ago I got the crispy Thai brussels sprouts, and they were DELICIOUS! Today I got chicken tenders and the elote side dish. The chicken tenders were good and reminded me of fast food I used to get as a kid. I kinda regretted the meal afterwards because it was a lot of sodium and fried food not the healthiest choice. I am watching my weight and fried chicken probably is not the best choice for that. Starbird gave me a free $10 reward after my first purchase. I would probably go back and get either a salad or the brussels sprouts again. They do have the option of grilled chicken on a salad, so that's probably what I would get. I don't want to regain the 90 pounds I lost. Overall, Starbird is a good fried chicken restaurant with some healthy options like salads. Ambiance inside the restaurant is rushed, it's a popular restaurant and most often busy and crowded inside. You can order at a kiosk and that speeds things along. The food is usually ready quickly and you pick up at the shelves, they have a sign telling you once your order is ready.
