This place is family favorite. When it comes to ceviche and chaufa (Peruvian fried rice) they know what they are doing. The chicken can sometimes be slightly dry and over cooked but for the most part its ok. One recommendation is to eat there instead of take out. read more

Planet Chicken - Planet's famous hot sauce - Peruvian Near Me - Dunellen, New Jersey

They have some of the best chicken around. It is rotisserie style. It is seasoned just right. They are a nice, inexpensive dinner for the family. If you are daring, use the green sauce. The other dinners are just as yummy. The place always has a big crowd, but I have never waiting long for a table. It can get loud inside, but it is not an issue. BYOB is allowed. On the street parking. read more

I've been coming here for years so has my family, the kid that works the phones is rude, not very customer friendly, they gave me these ugly Avocado slices... So of course the chicken is great and sauce etc... but if the service sucks and you are not caring about what you giving out, well that's a loss of clientele... read more

Planet Chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Dunellen, New Jersey

This place is a hidden gem. We sampled a little bit of almost everything; I love the pollo, seafood soup, fried plantains/yuca and ceviche. Had plan for dessert; tender and rich. Our waiter is very friendly, patient and helped us order. I also practiced my Spanish a little bit. When the bill came out, I was really surprised by how cheap this place is. It is like you enjoyed a nice dinner (yes with drink and dessert) but just need to pay for a lunch. If I live any closer (unfortunately I live in Atlanta), I will definitely come back and check out more items on the menu. read more

Some of the best rotisserie chicken around! I've been here a few times and the chicken has been excellent every time. It's moist and well seasoned. The skin is crisp and delicious, and the chicken is always fresh and hot. The green sauce on the side provides a nice extra kick. They also have a refreshing salad with avocado and a house dressing that is a nice starter. I've order the yucca, both boiled and fried. It could use a little more seasoning, but the texture is goo. I would recommend the fried yucca in place of fries. They have other peruvian dishes on the menu that look good, but it's hard not to order the chicken. Prices are unbeatable. A half chicken (no sides) is $5. Adding a side of yucca, plantains, or bean adds another $3. With a soda you can have a full meal for under $10. A whole chicken with a salad and fries is $15. The only reason that it doesn't get five stars is that sometimes the service can be a little slow. But it's a small price to pay for an excellent and inexpensive meal. read more

Good food, Best place for Rotisserie Chicken. Their Green spicy sauce goes great with everything read more

Planet chicken is great. The chicken is really moist and you can tell that it's fresh. They also have an amazing green sauce that I could literally drink it. The service is also very good and the servers are attentive to every need. read more

Chicken I moist and delicious. Green sauce is yummy to dip in. Beef fried Rice was super great. Good staple.

I've been going to Planet Chicken since it was half the size and half as pretty. I've tried most things on the menu and they are good (ceviche mixto is amazing and I could drink a whole jar of chicha morada), but this restaurant gets 3 stars from me for the following: The chicken - The pinnacle of rotisserie chicken is Peruvian pollo a la brasa, and the restaurant's name implies that this is a place to get chicken. Sure, you can get chicken, but unfortunately it is inconsistent. There have been days where the chicken is so good you find yourself picking off every single little bit of meat off the bones, but there are days that the chicken tastes like it didn't even receive the privilege of a little salt and pepper. If they could announce their good chicken days on Twitter or Facebook, then maybe i'd add a star for doing the whole social networking thing, but knowing how proud Peruvians are of their food I find it hard to believe they pass this as pollo a la brasa. The Service - The wait staff is very friendly and make a habit of remembering the regulars. However, they don't have one server focused on your table. We get attention from multiple servers and it is hard to tell if they will come back with what you asked for; you will find yourself asking for things multiple times (we asked two people for a high chair and didn't get one). Servers aside, I would really appreciate to meet the manager/owner of this restaurant. In my years of coming to Planet Chicken we have never had the manager/owner approach us and ask us how everything is. I am sure this isn't standard protocol like it is at a chain restaurant, but part of building up your business is meeting the clientele. I know a certain little Greek restaurant in my neighborhood where the owner sparks up conversation with EVERY table. Guess how busy his place is on a Monday night? I will continue to go to Planet Chicken but I might just stay away from their chicken and order other things (to go). read more

Was there a few hours ago. Nice atmosphere, good service. This place is famous for the chicken, but we didn't have any tonight. I had grilled beef heard called anticucho, which was nice and flavorful. Then moved on to fried red snapper fillet, which was fresh, not a lot of flavor, but seemed fresh. My wife had a Jalea, which is a mix of fried seafood, mostly calamari with some fish, shrimp and mussels in the mix. Seemed dry and overcooked, we've had some better jalea in other places. All in all, it was decent, and we'll come back to try the chicken read more

I've dined here on many occasions and each time there has been a long wait. Today, specifically, I waited 1 hour from the time I walked in to be seated. There wetter only two waiters working the floor while one chef prepared the food. When I was finally served my food, my roasted chicken was over seasoned, i.e., too salty. I'm slightly glad I only visit when I have a serious craving for their food, especially their Aji Sauce, which pairs well with the chicken. Finally, the establishment lacked air conditioning. I was overly hot while s simply sitting and waiting to be served. I'll be looking elsewhere for Peruvian food. read more

A little hole in the wall place, and it's name does it no justice!! They specialize in Peruvian food, seafood and some really fantastic rotisserie chicken. Great value for the things you get, I always leave full and satisfied. They have this mysterious green sauce which tastes amazing on basically everything, no idea what it is, but I don't even care it's so good. It's BYOB and you can buy beer next door. The only downside is that they close on Tuesdays, and sometimes the servers don't have the best grasp on English. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! It is a great spot for takeout when you are craving authentic Peruvian Food. My fiance and I love grabbing Ceviche and Lomo Saltado. The service is fantastic, the owner always stopping to ask us how life has been. A great family vibe and it always smells delicious there! The food is always hot and we are OBSESSED with the spicy green sauce! Not only do they know how to cook but service is excellent! Thank you for your business! read more

i met a friend here after work. it's nice cozy little place. this was my first time here. we heard they had good chicken. and with a name like planet chicken, i would expect nothing less than some very very delicious chicken. and this place really knows how to rotisserie their chicken. it's probably one of the juiciest rotisserie chicken i've ever had. every part of the chicken was juicy which is pretty rare with chicken because theyre rarely every marinated or cooked properly. this place has definitely opened my eyes to chicken dishes. hahaha. another thing i tried for the first time was ceviche. it's like a plate of marinated raw fish. it tasted really fresh and i think i pretty much cleaned the plate, it was that good! i wish i could write more but i was too distracted by the chicken and ceviche. i definitely need to come back here and try more things..... read more

Planet Chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Dunellen, New Jersey

Avocado salad is my favorite. Their chicken is super moist and juicy, and their seafood fried rice is to die for

Great spot to grab a rotisserie chicken! Their sauce goes well with their chicken and the serving they give, you can't beat! Will definitely keep going back! Definitely try their Planet Chicken Special! read more

I think one day I'll tell my grandchildren about this green sauce that's absolutely impossible to find a dupe of- or how i literally can put it on everything and never regret it. I love Planet and it's my favorite place that i always recommend to anyone whos looking for great Peruvian Chicken in the area. Their ceviche is also on point and always order extra green sauce if you are ordering takeout as i do 90% of the time since parking there is pretty rough since it's street parking. Their lomo and fried rice is always amazing and there's literally not enough good things i can say about this place. Go, order, and eat and become a PC believer read more

Being Peruvian, I have a taste for what a traditional pollo a la brasa is and the one I had today was a huge dissapointment; mostly due to the tasteless piece of chicken I had, but other dishes and drink that were not prepared well. Not coming back.... read more

I had the Chaufa de Mariscos through door dash. It was ok. The rice seemed soggy to me but it was my first time trying this place. I'd try it again though because it wasn't bad read more

This place always has excellent service. The staff is all smiles and the wait is short. The food is of good quality and has a very delicious signature dressing. The place itself feels very authentic and homey. The chicken is deliciously cooked and well done, loved they're salad (I'm a sucker for avocado on salads) and although I wish they gave just a little bite more fries then they're use to the meal is very satisfying. read more

Best Lomo soltado I've had in jersey. It's delicious and their green sauce is amazing. This place exceeded expectations.

I LOVE this place. The value is very good and yes, the green sauce is soooo addicting! My friend moved out of the area and when she comes back to visit 'The Planet" (as we have nicknamed it) is one of the first stops. We ordered the Planet Chicken Especial Combo, which is the whole chicken (Pollo entero) french fried (papas) and a salad (ensalada especial) for $15.50!! Where else can you have a good dinner for two for $15. The chicken is always moist and the salad was very good, of course the green sauce was outstanding. I also ordered the Chicha Morada, which is a juice drink that the menu says is made from purple corn and fruit. It was very good, has a different flavor that is hard to describe (not too sweet and a little spice (like cinnamon or cloves)). We devoured the whole chicken between the two of us and now my friend cannot wait to visit again. The name is deceiving, but the food is just awesome, the restaurant is clean, the service is prompt and friendly and every time I have been there, it has been busy which, I think speaks for itself. read more

Love, love this place!! Been coming for years and always get whole chicken, plantains, and ceviche- and never disappointed! Cannot go wrong! read more

If I could give this place a negative 10 I would! The service was horrible and don't let me get started on the food. When the food came out it was cold... Like refrigerator cold. Also I'm currently dealing with food poisoning due to the calamari that was in the Chaufa. read more

Planet chicken is great with the best chick en and they have great service! read more

Y family get take out or eats here at least once a week. Their chicken is amazing but so is their jalea and ceviche. My dad loves coming here when he comes to visit. Carlos the owner is the nicest guy. Make sure to ask for extra green sauce, can't get enough of that. read more

Planet Chicken is delish. If you are looking for an authentic Peruvian restaurant, you won't be disappointed. Don't let the name fool you, it's not a cheap take out restaurant but a cute little sit down with great food. The green is sauce is LIFE. Don't know what they put in it but I would literally eat if by the spoonful if I was allowed. Great on anything! The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the calamari is soo good. Spring for the combo platter and you'll def be satisfied. read more

Rotisserie Chicken rocked! This place offers 1/2, 1/4 or a whole chicken! Rumor is it's the best chicken in Central Jersey. The plaintains and rice were a robust treat to compliment the roasted chicken flavors. The desserts are fun and there is a great selection. This place is authentic Peruvian food! Check out the Inca Cola and the green sauce! read more

my family has been ordering here well before they've expanded the space. the chicken is moist and all etc. but the GREEN SAUCE is where it's at! try the jalea as well. .. i'll cut this short, i'm getting hungry. .. read more

Good chicken at a good price. I love the green sauce. If you want some good roast chicken, check these people out!

I like to go to Planet Chicken but I live far, I ordered fish with rice. Usually this dish is good but just lukewarm when I ate my order. I thought it came with yello rice not white but I am wrong...I had the chicken when i first went to this restaurant, the chicken was great. read more
