Best fried chicken sandwich I have ever had! The chickens was crunchy and tender inside, bun was buttery and soft , pickle and sauce was just so great. 10/10 I'm recommended. My friend got wings with garlics noodle she said she love it. The decoration is simple good for one person , friend and family or even big group since they have 2 big tables. read more

The picture looks better than what we received! They should describe the chicken as boneless thighs and legs. The garlic noodles are spicy. They need to describe it as spicy garlic noodles! The chicken is better as a sandwich! And the mochi is good but it's a small piece for the price! It's too expensive! read more

I def have been waiting for a good fried chicken spot in Berkeley after a string of absolutely over rated failures that didn't last much longer than a year each near campus. This sandwich was super crispy, and flavorful, the brioche bun not too sweet or too soft, it had substantiality which lent itself well to the solid crunch of the chicken. Hella tasty spicy tangy sauce that paired perfectly with the Singha Beer, enough to mellow out the burn but not the flavor. Love the banh mi-ish fillings too, lightened up the sandwich so it didn't feel hella heavy. Brussel sprouts: I ain't never had such buttery soft and lightly sweet brussel sprouts in my life. None of the anticipated bitterness from the outer leaves that are charred in the oven as I've had in the past. I brought it home with me from the restaurant and the chicken held up HELLA well! It was still crispy and warm and the bread had not gotten soggy from the sauce at all! It was 15-20 min home! Brussel sprouts were stil learn too! I look forward to returning to Southside and trying the tantalizing pizzas! read more

I ordered a strawberry boba milk tea online for pickup a few months back. Although I think it was probably ready on time, it took a bit to get the drink since the worker was mostly doing things in the back and did not see/hear the first one or two times that I pressed the bell (not sure if that has changed since then). They did have a table outdoors for those who want to eat outside. The tea itself was pretty good - I like strawberry flavored things and it had a good balance between the fruit flavor and milk, and it was quite sweet. I don't think there was an option in the online ordering to specify a sugar level, unfortunately. It came packaging with plastic handles that make it easier to carry without spilling, which I appreciated. The main downside is just that it's a bit expensive for milk tea given the quantity, though I realize boba prices are on the rise everywhere in Berkeley. It seems Southside Station's main attraction is their fried chicken sandwiches, but they have a tofu option for vegetarians. read more

I gotta say.. this place has some pretty good food. I'm taking off a star only because it takes awhile to get your food. We got there at 11:30 on a Saturday and thankfully we did because we would have had to wait to get our food even longer. It's definitely worth the wait though and the portions they give are very generous. Limited seating inside and metered parking right outside which is perfect for Berkeley. Definitely check this place out! read more

I see what they're going for here. I'm going to keep an eye on their communication and maybe give them a try when/if they have more than one person working. I got lucky and got my food faster than most of the folks that had been waiting ahead of me, but the fried chicken in my sandwich was very dry and chewy and my French fries were super over cooked. As I said maybe they'll do better with more people working so someone is focused on the customers and someone is cooking, but clearly having one person doing it all is not working great. read more

Southside Station is a great place to order if you're looking for a party platter to share with friends. I went with a friend from high school and we ordered the wing and things to share. The wings were nice and crispy, and the Brussels sprouts were juicy and crunchy which is why they were my favorite part of the meal. The rest was relatively mediocre and okay by fast food standards. The store itself was very small on the inside and there is minimal interaction with staff(which i don't really mind) so theres nothing special about that. Southside Station was overall a good experience and while I wouldn't go again by myself, this is the kind of quaint store that lends itself to a good place to sit down and eat or order take out from with friends. read more

1st time here, ordered the wing/garlic noodle combo. As someone who very seldom tries new places, I have to say it didn't disappoint! The sauce they provided for the wings was delicious!! The young man was pleasant and my order was done way earlier than expected. If you're ever in the area I highly recommend trying them. Nice inside and outside seating available. I'll definitely be back! read more

Excellent garlic noodles and killer fried chicken sandwich...both came out hot and the portions were fair. This is my goto anytime I'm in the Bay Area. I do recommend ordering in advance. read more

Honestly, the food was really good. We ordered the Wings and Stuff meal set, and although the wait was extremely long, I enjoyed each item. The fried chicken were tangy and spicy, and the siracha mayo sauce pairs really well! The wings were still juicy and it went well with the rice. The rice was also extremely fluffy and the larb gai was pretty decent. The brussels sprouts were to die for though! They were roasted and seasoned so well, absolutely no bitterness at all. The garlic noodles were okay, they could have been more garlic-y, but everything else was seasoned really well. The wait was maybe about half an hour or more, and the restaurant is extremely tiny. Regardless, I still had a great meal. read more

I originally was gonna order from Cals but they don't take phone orders and I don't waste my time ordering online so I decided to give Southside a try. I ordered the Chicken thigh combo with garlic noodles and they said it would be ready in 20 minutes so I drove over and it was ready by the time I got there in 15. The chicken was flakey on the outside and juicy on the inside juat the way I like it. The garlic noodles weren't too greasy and the perfect texture. The portions were great for $21 too. I'm definitely coming back here! read more

Best fried chicken sandwiches anywhere! Their house made drinks are delicious too. My bf and I regularly get the thai tea, lemonades, and chicken sliders. The chicken slider combo is perfect to split between two people if you are both lighter eaters. It's a family run business and they are always so friendly. Additionally, the atmosphere always brightens my day with the lovely lights and upbeat music. I definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area and want quality food and drinks. read more

Got the family party and green curry pizza. The fried chicken wings were my favorite! Lots of crunch (highly recommend eating in their outdoor area so you can eat them fresh!). There was also a spicy and sour powder topping on them that made it super flavorful. The brussel sprouts were also pretty good, the sauce it was doused in had so much flavor. The pizza was ok, I expected more curry flavor and toppings but it was more on the cheesy and dry side. The food is spicy so keep that in mind before you order. Would definitely come back to try the other items. read more

Surprisingly good food! Found this place on DoorDash and decided to pick up myself because I was in the area. Sometimes you don't know what you're going to get on DoorDash because the ratings on the app all are almost always higher ratings on Yelp, but they matched this time and I figured I'll give it a try. Loved everything I had and will be going back soon! read more

Okay this place lives up to the hype. The food was on the heavier side, but it was delicious! I loved the pickled papaya in the fried chicken sandwich. The portion was generous. I order the food to go, but they have a couple of tables inside, and some more on the sidewalk. I like how it's ran by a family. My only complaint is that the drinks that came with the combo were way too sweet. read more

The food was so yummy!!! We ordered the Pacific Rim sharing tray for take out and it was so so so so worth it. We got to try different dishes for a pretty good price. It came with garlic noodles, Brussel sprouts, chicken wings, chicken sandwich, and chicken satay tacos. Everything was very tasty and it is more than enough food for two people. Chicken satay tacos were our fav!! Definitely coming back. read more

If you're looking for a mouthwatering, crispy and juicy fried chicken sandwich, look no further than. This sandwich is a true masterpiece, featuring a perfectly seasoned chicken breast, crispy lettuce, and carrots pickle all nestled inside a soft Brioche bun. The batter on the chicken is perfectly textured and perfectly seasoned, making each bite an explosion of flavor. The combo sandwich also comes with a side of seasoned curly fries that are cooked to perfection. The atmosphere inviting with outstanding customer service. I also recommend Crispy Chicken Sliders Garlic Noodles- you will not be disappointed! read more

Seeing as it's a highly rated chicken sandwich spot I had to come here! First off upon entering, it was a bit interesting as they have an ordering window embedded in a wall, with the kitchen in the back with a few tables in the front. Definitely has a mom & pop feel to it off the bat. After ordering I got a little pager for when the food was ready, wait was maybe ~15-20 minutes? Rang a doorbell to order and was amused that the compostable bowl provided was stamped "Singha" like the beer they carry. The whole menu sounded good and I saw people coming in and out getting trays of the chicken wings so I'll be coming back to try it next time. They also have some interesting cocktails but as I'm on a "cleanse" I had to refrain unfortunately. Food: -Chicken Sandwich: 4.25/5, the bread was nice and tasty, the chicken was flavorful, the spicy Sriracha mayo was great too and instead of a slaw there was pickled papaya and carrot which much reminds me of a banh mi. Overall the sandwich was tasty and was an interesting fusion. The chicken thigh was crispy but at the cost of it being a little dry. My thigh was a little skinny so maybe that attributed to it being dried out a little bit. -Garlic Noodles: 5/5, nice al dente noodles, plenty of garlic and I believe parmesan? I don't know exactly what but I'd say you definitely need to get this. read more

Omg! This place was soooooo gooooood!!!!! Those curly fries - even better than Jack in the box! The sandwhich was crispy and I loved the pickled carrots and daikon! The wings - perfect! They probably have the best garlic noodles I've tried! The house milk tea was nice and refreshing, but the boba could be better (aka soak in honey water). 15/10!!!!!!! read more

Ordered from here today and definitely do not regret it. From the photos, I thought the thigh order only came with 3-4 pieces but when I got the bag, I had a bit of trouble transporting it as it was HEAVY and STACKED. There were perhaps 5-6 pieces per order, which is ABUNDANT given how big these thighs are. The flavor profile? Definitely "well marinaded" (as stated on the description) and bursting with a unique tamarind spice. Tasty. Also the texture is just right: crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I also ordered the chicken wings and it was more spicy than I would have liked but the wings intended for the other people I was feasting with and they liked it. Keep up the quality ! read more

I ordered food from here recently. I got a chicken sandwich and the garlic noodle/wings combo. The chicken sandwich was a huge portion and left me stuffed. It was flavorful and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I ended up eating the garlic noodle and wings cold later in the day. The garlic noodles were good but not enough garlic for my liking. The wings were absolutely delicious, even though I ate them cold. I don't know what seasoning they use but it was amazing. read more

Seen reviews on this place on the inter webs and decided to give it a try. Ambiance is chill. It's a small dining area so not really good for large groups. Service was good. The food came out fairly quick for it being made fresh per order. The food was hot and tasty. Different than your normal chicken spot. Lots of bright flavors from Asian influences. Highly recommend. read more

OMG. This place is so bomb and I'm already excited to go back. I had the Thai fried chicken and garlic noodles and both items were steaming, fresh, and packed with flavor. 5/5 YUM!!! The box was bursting at the folds with chicken wings -- I almost teared up with joy. It did take a while to make so I do recommend calling your order ahead! I sat in the small outdoor area where they have some metal tables and chairs, but as it's right on Shattuck I think lots of people just grab and go. TL;DR - It is a delicious small takeout place that's family run and this chicken is a staple here in Berkeley! I highly recommend you try this place out for your next chicken craving, you won't regret it! read more

Southside Station - Thai Fried Chicken Wings - Sandwiches Near Me - Berkeley, California

This Berkeley restaurant is perfect for getting lunch to-go, offering a menu of American staples, some having a Thai or Asian twist. I got the combo fried chicken sliders with curly fries (middle right) and not only was the chicken juicy and delicious, but it was damn near the same size as getting 2 of the regular fried chicken sandwiches (top row) for the same price as 1! Definitely don't consider the slider to be slider size, but no complaints as I got to save one for later. The garlic noodles were thick and tasty, and the curly fries were great. We also tried the lychee iced tea (top right corner) and loved it, it was very fresh and had 3 whole lychee fruits at the bottom. The only downside is that there is a long wait for the food, due to them having a very small staff. This isn't an issue if you aren't in a rush or order in advance though, so plan accordingly! I have to come back to try the Thai pizza which is only available by preorder the day before. read more

I've been here twice & have tried the fried chicken sandwich & the chicken satay tacos :) The fried chicken sandwich is solid. The chicken is perfectly juicy but also crispy. The fries are so crispy and lovely. The veggies help cut the heaviness of the sandwich but were a little bit bland for my taste- more there for added texture. I really love the chicken satay tacos. The taco shells are so soft and the peanut sauce is delicious. The chicken is very flavorful and perfectly cooked. Definitely messy but delicious!! I appreciate how they confirm your order when you go to pickup. Definitely check before heading home because I almost had a mishap once. The owner is super friendly and helpful though. read more

O.M.G. This place is a creative gem. The best fried chicken sandwich I ever had was at Southside station. Delicious papaya coleslaw (what!?) mixed with a fluffy brioche bun and crispy chicken = perfection. The garlic noodles and lychee sangria were just ok imo- next time I know to ask for extra garlic. The Thai pizza was AMAZING. Such a creative dish. It's like an Arizmendi pizza with Asian twist. The pizza is super spicy though - my nose was running the whole time while eating. Tip: order ahead online and pickup at the window to avoid waiting! read more

Wow! I now know why Southside Station's chicken sandwich has been voted #1. I got the chicken slider combo: 2 Thai fried chicken with pickled papaya & siracha mayo on brioche bun with curly fries. I upgraded my beverage to their lychee iced tea. Generous portions...I could only eat 1 slider & half of the curly fries so I have lunch for tomorrow. All orders are made to order but it's worth the wait to have a really fresh & amazing meal. read more

This place is the definition of gem and hidden treasure. I read about this on the top list of fried chicken spots in the Bay Area a few weeks ago. I was in Berkeley last Saturday and super glad we checked this out. Note: they currently don't let customers dine inside so hopefully its a nice day so you can eat at one of the tables they have outside, otherwise you will eat in the car as this won't make it home. We got the much hyped Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries and a drink. Note to Southside Station: Don't put the can of pop in the bag with the food, it makes the pop get warm. Fried Chicken Sammy consisted of: Thai fried chicken thigh ,Brioche bun with pickled papaya and creamy Sriracha sauce. The thigh was fried lightly while still keeping its juiciness and they do not skimp on the portions here. House made brioche bun was excellent and the Sriracha wasn't spicy even for my gf who can't handle the heat. Curly fries were very good fries and I got some of the sriracha to dip the fries in. Absolutely loved this place and will stop by anytime we are near Berkeley. read more

Seriously some of the best food ever. Gives a whole new meaning to comfort food. Everything is perfect. And Louie is the man!

I did not like the chicken sandwich at all, but we got the noodles and they were amazing, the best I've ever had. We will be back to try some other items. The chicken sandwich in my opinion was not crispy at all and overall just was not my thing. We did wait about 20 minutes for our food. read more

I ordered through Uber Eats as I had a coupon there, and while that experience was extremely lackluster the food here pretty much made up for it. I got the fried chicken thighs and garlic noodles upon seeing the great reviews, and was not disappointed! The portions were huge, and I was easily able to split it into 3-4 meals. The garlic noodles were so flavorful and I loved the scallion bits on top. The chicken was juicy and also tasted amazing. That sauce that the provide though.. omg. I don't know what's in it but it literally goes with everything!! I would buy a whole bottle of it if I could, it's seriously that good. I'd definitely come back again and order live rather than delivery, especially since I do want to try the chicken sandwich. I'd highly highly recommend this spot! read more
