There was a point in time where I would come here on a monthly basis during my college days. I recently went back after 10+ years and it still serves great chicken. The restaurant still looks the same and you can dine inside again. I'm glad they survived COVID. I recently called in an order so I wouldn't have to wait for my food when I got there. The server/girl who answered the phone was really nice and great. She got my order down quickly and efficiently. I ordered the combo plate with half fried chicken, longanisa, upgraded to garlic rice and got extra gravy. I also ordered a side of 6 piece pork lumpia as well. The food is as good as always. It is a lot of food so I got 2 meals out of it. It really hit the spot. My only complaint was the rice tasted old since the texture was like day old rice and really dry. There is plenty of parking in the plaza as well. I'll have to remember to come back here soon. read more

Stopped in for a light bite before heading to dinner with a friend. Ended up ordering a half fried chicken for $11, which seemed pretty reasonable. Lots of take away orders being picked up, but there are dining tables and chairs to eat in as well. Chicken came out hot and crispy, meat was a tad of the drier sauce, and is served a long with a side of gravy. Which offset the dryness pretty well. I'd definitely go back and could consider this spot for catering in the future as well. read more

Savory Fried Chicken - Half fried chicken - Filipino Near Me - Elk Grove, California

My son saw an IG video for their fried chicken. The name itself should convince you to try them! Savory Fried Chicken is a Filipino restaurant hidden in Laguna Village Plaza. Plenty of parking. Although we got our food to go, there are about 10 tables to dine in. They also have a catering menu. Glazed Chicksilog (Breakfast Special) You get half fried chicken served with garlic rice and 2 eggs cooked any way you want. I like my over medium. Glazed sauce on the side. The chicken is indeed savory, juicy and crispy. The glazed sauce is like a sweet, syrupy teriyaki sauce. I like it but I think I like the regular chicken sauce more. My son got the half fried chicken with garlic rice. It's the same item without the eggs, but with a chicken broth sauce that's like a gravy. I think the sauce is what makes the chicken special. read more

I ordered 100 pieces of lumpia for a party and the phone service was excellent. The order was ready as promised packaged professionally and hot & delicious with plenty of sauce. The lumpia was a hit and we loved how fresh it was. I'll definitely order again for catering! read more

03.14.2026 - SAVORY FRIED CHICKEN - ELK GROVE, CA - the menu is pretty straight forward - haven't been here in years. It's still here, I guess they'll are doing great and people like their foods. The place appears to be clean and a cute decor of the Nipa or bamboo house decoratively adorns their flat screen television. They have the typical giant wooden fork and spoon and even a metal art of a rooster on one side of the registers. The workers behind the counter are nice and friendly. I ordered the Half fried chicken, longaniza and steam rice. I also bought a side order of their pork lumpia and the girl at the counter said they are Shanghai versions. I ordered it to go. They told me to wait 10 mins. It was around 2:30pm when I ordered on a Saturday. While I waited for my food, I notice the art paintings that depicted life in the Philippines. Got my food and left to go home. I have to say.....the portion of the fried chicken is big. It's practically a whole leg that gives you the breast too. I had to save again and ate it again at another meal setting. I got two of the sweet longaniza and it was nicely cooked. I ordered a side order of the pork lumpia and it was a lot when you pair it with your chicken meal. I was stuffed. I now know that I have to decide how I wanna eat. Because just the chicken alone is already large enough. Not bad. I'd try the other dishes on the menu. read more

Savory Fried Chicken - Filipino Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Authentic Filipino food with big portions. Been here twice. First time was pork adobo & longanisa, second time was the fried chicken with longanisa. No pics of the adobo/longanisa from my first visit, I ate it too quickly. Tip: call beforehand if you're driving to eat here to make sure they have fried chicken. We came the Monday after Superbowl weekend and they ran out of chicken right before we got there. They said it wasn't typical, but I suggest calling to be safe. (I think they actually gave me an extra longanisa the 1st time if I'm not mistaken, I presume since the chicken ran out.) Pork adobo: all meat, no potatoes. Sometimes there isn't enough meat when eating at other places so I was actually happy there was a lot. The pork was tender and flavorful. Longanisa: Well done but not overcooked. Very good. Chicken: definitely the star of the show. Similar to Max's Chicken, but better. Delectable skin and juicy meat. Love the gravy. Ambiance: I knew going off of the interior/furniture this place has real Filipino food. It's a casual restaurant with simple tables/chairs and Filipino artwork that makes you feel like you're in the Philippines. It's a safe place to take someone who's never had Filipino food; they can try anything on the menu and would enjoy it. NGL the 2nd time I visited there was a table (or 2?) that should've been cleaned, there was rice on the floor. Otherwise, the restaurant was clean. I like that they package your food in to go containers even if you're eating there, for baon. Customer service was great, both times staff were friendly and polite. Parking: Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Sarap!! A must visit when in NorCal. read more

It was good tasty chicken but it wasn't the typical fried chicken I was expecting and wanted.

The chicken is very good. My husband and I love their fried chicken, it's full of flavor and I really enjoy the gravy on the side. For 2 meals, it came out to be around $35. It's a great deal considering the portions are huge. We've never eaten inside but we plan on doing so. There's plenty of room to dine in and I appreciate the homey feel of the decor. The cashier was super nice and overall, I've never had an unfriendly encounter with any of their staff. Next time, I'll order dessert with my meal. read more

5 Star for the Food 1 Star for the Dine-in experience I rarely give review however i think, it calls for management attention. We were looking for Filipino food and its our FIRST TIME to eat here at Savory. I have kids and Eldery seniors with me. We came in the resturant and I settled them on the table. They only have menu list no photo or descriptions, so I open my yelp to show my elderly parents photo of the food and servings to help them decide and get their orders..however... halfway browsing, the Guy at the cashier, called our attention from a far in a very loud voice, "Are you going to eat here?" " "You have to order here " "We are not going there!" with other customer looking towards us.. I was very surprised, with the demeanor.. So I just decided to walk to the counter unprepared of our order.. I did tell him that we were looking at the menu and pictures, but he did not even acknowledge... he seems so impatient in taking our order, and answering my questions on the menu.. but i let it pass... When they served our food at our table, My husband accidentally tipped over the flimsy styro cup and water spilled on the table and floor...my husband and I look around for help.. and saw the same cashier guy on his cellphone was just sitting right across us.. my husband was asking his help, he did not even move an inch.. look up, or even assist to call another staff... I dont know if he was just in a very bad mood or he is having a bad day.. but i wish he was a bit nicer.. I read tthey just started their dine-in recently but I just wish more accomodating and warm so you could atleast feel filipino hospitality... So sad.. I'll just do take out next time.. read more

I wish I could dine in this place. But I'll take to go or door dash. I love Filipino food and this place does chicken really well. I would say I have to knock odd a star because I feel the prices are a little steep for the amount of food you get. I would actually hope to get a little bit more rice. I was not the biggest fan of the gravy here, but maybe because I just prefer other places. The food is yummy and flavorful and I could see myself craving this a lot. read more

My family and I usually order for take out And we love the fried /glazed chicken. However the last couple of times my wife and I dine in and there's really a serious problem with the customer service with front staff . Not sure what he's name was but he's got nose pierce . He should be doing work in back rather than front . It looks to me you owe him something or doesn't enjoy what he's doing . It's helping the restaurant bringing the reviews completely to 1 star . It's time for management to look into this matter . read more

Staff cares about the quality of the food. Great place to bring the family. Support small local businesses like this

Food is a 1000/10 for me! If you like Max's, you surely would love Savory! Service was good and fast. Food was super fresh and made with love. Didn't eat inside, but felt like I was in the Philippines when I was inside. read more

Tried ordering online but currently not accepting online orders. I did have to call several times to order by phone as it was constantly busy. Keep in mind they only do take out.My order was ready in 20 mins during lunch time which was great. I ordered their savory half fried chicken with gravy, longanissa with java rice and halo halo. The chicken and gravy was good. I didn't enjoy the longanissa it felt dry and the taste was just not good. Halo halo had more beans than I would like. I'd probably just get their fried chicken next time. read more

Review is for togo order, but man it was still really good! I got the glazed chicken which means its fried but with a thin layer of glaze. I exchanged the rice and side for pancit. My partner got the fried chicken with garlic rice and chicken lumpia. It was relatively cheap and the inside has tables and seats along the sides of the eating area. The food was delicious, they did run out of the gravy for one of the boxes and let us know by text when it was ready bc we waited in the car. Service was good from what we encountered. Would def recommend for a cheaper meal option. read more

Savory Fried Chicken - Glazed (fried) chicken with pancit - Filipino Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I'm writing to share some feedback regarding my recent experience at Savory Chicken. I want to start by saying your front-line staff is wonderful. Every employee I interacted with was friendly, hard-working, and helpful. They are clearly the reason the atmosphere remains welcoming for customers. However, I was disappointed by the unprofessional behavior I witnessed from management. I noticed an arrogant tone and a dismissive way of speaking down to others that felt very out of place. It's tough to enjoy a great meal when the leadership style feels disrespectful to the people making the business run. I love the food, but the environment created by management makes it hard to want to return. I hope this feedback helps you foster a more positive culture for both your team and your guests. Best regards, read more

They always run out of everything that's why I stop going here. It's so bad . Even when I call , they always say , oh we're out .

It's been a couple of years since I've had SFC and their food is still delicious. I used to do phone orders but now their online ordering system is better. It was easier to place an order and customize rice options: steamed, garlic or java. They also provide a text once the order is ready for pickup. I got their grilled chicken, fried chicken, chicken lumpia, pork lumpia, longanisa and taho. I would have ordered halo halo but the drive back to Lathrop was an hour. Their servings haven't changed, one plate is enough for two people. read more

Quaint small business that brings the comfort food to takeout! From their signature fried chicken (Filipino style) to garlic noodles, pork and chicken lumpia, and even grilled chicken. The combos come with choice of chicken type (grilled, fried) and a choice of rice (fried, steamed) and side of gravy. It's homemade style instantly makes you feel at home. Great portions for the value, too. read more

It's that time of year. Almost time for Thanksgiving! If you think that this place can only do chicken for Thanksgiving, guess again. They can do a Whole Deep Fried Turkey! We had this last year, and I think we were told we got the last turkey order. So this year we made sure to go early. So... the only issue I have with this place is that it's VERY DIFFICULT getting a hold of someone on the phone, which is annoying if you want to place an order in advance. But for us, it's not too far, so it's not a deal breaker. But keep that in mind. Also, they still do not have indoor seating. I'm assuming it's a permanent thing now, so if you think you can dine-in, you cannot. Maybe one day they'll bring back the tables and chairs for people to eat their food fresh out of the kitchen. read more

Savory Fried Chicken - Deep Fried Turkey November 2024 - Filipino Near Me - Elk Grove, California

After seeing a review left by user Jesse C., I wanted to express similar concern for the same staff member as well. I've been going to Savory for a couple years now and have had great experiences with many of the young staff members. However, this employee they were talking about sounds similar to the one I've also had quite a few uncomfortable and negative experiences with. He appears older than the rest of the staff and also has kind of long hair, and is always consistently irritated, not only with other customers, but other staff members as well. 10/10 restaurant, but I agree that management should look into this! read more

We enjoyed takeout from this restaurant. Actually Savory no longer offers indoor dining option. Our takeout was simply combos of Glazed chicken which included a side of Garlic rice and pork lumpia. Pancit Bihon (rice noodles) was included to share. Every dish was freshly cooked and tasty. We called in our order and ready in no time at all. The restaurant is spacious, and nicely decorated with Filipino culture art. We'll definitely return. read more

I saw this place highly rated on Yelp and social media, so my family wanted to try it out. Overall it was good and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area! We got one of each of the kinds of chicken (fried, glazed, and grilled) with one each of the rice (steamed, garlic, and java), pork adobo, garlic noodles, and pork lumpia. Overall my favorites were the pork adobo, garlic noodles, and pork lumpia. The pork was super juicy and tender, and full of flavor! The garlic noodles were also amazing. And the pork lumpia and dipping sauce was also great. I also liked all of the chicken, especially the glazed and fried. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well! Note that the inside is still shut down so only takeout orders are accepted. Overall I'd recommend stopping by for some good food here! read more

Savory Chicken is very tasty! The only reason i didn't give them 5 stars is that their open hours had been changeable and/or staffing was low, so it impacted speed of service ... BUT regardless, it's WORTH the wait! It's a hidden gem behind Walgreens on Franklin Blvd.&Laguna Blvd. It's a clean, casual place w/sufficient parking because it's connected to a strip mall w/a Walgreens, but the hours are somewhat limited. Their portion sizes are plentiful. The whole half chicken dinner is best deal! If you want to try Filipino Food, i highly recommend it!! read more

The chicken was good. But they should replace the oil i could taste an old cooking oil. Gravy is a bit salty. Theyre easy to make but they should really stop putting too much MSG or salt. lumpia was bite size freindly its perfect. Id still go back to try other menu tho. read more

Savory Fried Chicken - Fried Pork or Chicken Lumpia garlic rice - Filipino Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Just be aware, this isn't a sit down restaurant. It is a to-go only place. There are tables and chairs inside, but they're all put up. Food wasn't bad. What we ordered: Fried chicken plate w// pork lumpia and Java Rice Grilled Chicken plate w/ longanisa and Java Rice (should've been a fried chicken plate as well). I even asked her if their fried chicken was the popular item, and she said yes. (Hence the name of establishment) Their menu had grilled chicken listed under "fried chicken" section, so I asked her if there was an option for fried chicken w/ longanisa, she said, oh sorry this is a typo, it is supposed to say fried chicken, since it is under the fried chicken section. I said okay, I want the fried chicken w/ longanIsa. Waited in the car for our order, received a text saying ordered was ready. I went inside to retrieve our order, mouth watering. Got back in the car to eat and to my surprise, they gave me the grilled chicken, instead of the fried chicken. No problem, I was too lazy to go back inside and tell them. Hubby and I decided we would just taste each other's food. After we ate. I went back inside to throw some trash. I had to tell her that I got a grilled chicken plate instead of the fried chicken that I ordered. I felt like she was trying to be rude. She said, well I repeated your order to you, and I said oh, but I also pointed it out and you clearly said it was a typo. She then said, sorry we'll fix the menu. It is what it is! I'm just glad we didn't drive all the way out here just for this. We were already in the area for another event, just arrived early, so we decided to check this place out. Food was good! Fried chicken was good. Java Rice was okay. Longanisa was average. Would we eat here again? Maybe, but we probably wouldn't drive out here just for this! Nevertheless, check it out, and make sure you check your order before you leave the counter. read more

There are food best served while it's hot. You might as well just sell your food in a food truck

There's something so comforting about a place that makes everything fresh and Savory Fried Chicken totally nails it. Every time I stop by, I know I'm getting food that's hot, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy and perfectly seasoned in the inside. It's the kind of chicken that doesn't need sauce but still holds up if you dip. Their pancit is a standout. It's savory, balanced and packed with flavor. I always order it and honestly, I'd come here just for that. The fact that they offer chicken lumpia is such a win too. Crispy, packed with flavor, and super satisfying in that "I could eat 10 and not regret it" kind of way. If you like Filipino style spaghetti, theirs is sweet, nostalgic, and total comfort food. The halo halo is refreshing, colorful and a perfect way to end the meal. Service is always quick and super friendly, even during busy times. It's definitely more of a takeout spot. There's nowhere to sit and eat but that doesn't bother me. Everything travels well and it's worth picking up. read more

Got a combination plate with glazed chicken, pork lumpia (they didnt have chicken) and java rice. Total was like under 18 which tbh is pretty pricey for the proportions. It took about 20 minutes for us to get the food rip, and they also still dont have inside seating, togo only. The glaze chicken thats supposed to be half a chicken was just like one wing and two thighs? I feel like they used to actually give half a chicken... or atleast more... The lumpia was 8 like small lumpias, those were pretty good. Umm i think overall its still pretty good but a bit pricey and proportions got smaller? read more
