    I need to update my review to five stars because the food has been excellent! My go to order is the chicken chop salad with either grilled or crispy chicken. Sometimes I'll order the garlic Parmesan wings and lemon pepper wings. The portions are big which is always nice. I usually order from their app and they fulfill my orders fast every time.

    This is a solid spot for your chicken sandwich fix. The buns are toasty and the chicken is well spiced and crispy. Absolutely love their soda! It was a pretty warm day so the coca cola was really refreshing. The size of the sandwich however was disappointing. While it was really tasty, it didn't make up for the small size at its higher price point, IMO. I tried the Nashville Hotbird and Indian Hotbird; delicious but were pretty small. I did really like the Masala Street fries and would order again. I think this place is worth trying if you're a chicken sandwich fan otherwise it's a bit on the pricier side.

    Bloody chicken wings. Showed it to a staff member and said "it's the bone." I know it's the bone, but is it supposed to be bleeding like that?!

    I ordered the children's meal. There were 5 pieces of chicken nuggets. It was freshly cooked and crispy! Service was great I used the kiosk to order. Staff is very helpful and professional. Restaurant is clean and very organized. Ambiance has a farm kitchen feeling. Great service, tasty chicken!!!

    The food scene is very competitive in Marin County and for casual diners, It's no different. This was my first time eating at Starbird's and the food was amazing. The Indian seasoning definitely brought a new twist to fried chicken. The Masala street fries are highly recommend! In addition to delicious food, the staff was excellent and the prices are reasonable.

    Wonderful experience ill definately go back. Cant wait to try their Japanese BBQ Bird next! Service was perfect i took pics of an employee flouring the chicken freshly made. Ambiance was fun and they greeted you as you came in.

    I have been ordering from here since they first opened and love all of their salads as well as their rewards program. I enjoy trying the seasonal salads and and am happy that the elote salad made it onto the regular menu (the California Gold BBQ seasonal was also really tasty so I hope it comes back). I like the green goddess cobb and Thai Chicken salads from the regular menu as well. The drinks are delicious too, I especially like the ginger beer. Service is consistently quick and reliable.

    Starbird is a nice addition to the Town Center. They've got a fried chicken sandwich that stands up well to the Chick Fil A and Popeye's ones, while being distinct enough to have its own flair. Their special sauce goes well with everything on the menu, and they even have house made sodas from the fountain machine that are actually pretty good. They also rotate their lemonades and teas. One time I got Thai tea and it wasn't half bad. I'm not a huge fan of their slaw, which feels like it's trying too hard to appeal to the health-conscious folks. Don't expect much in the way of customer service or employee interaction. They really expect you to use the self serve kiosks, and if you need any extra sauces or have an issue with their order, they can take a LONG time to notice you standing at the serving window looking for help. Pricing is in line with what you'd expect for a small lunch or dinner in a place like this here in Marin -- you'll probably spend $16 or so on your order, assuming you get a drink and leave a tip.

    Starbird & Big Star
    Elvia A.

    Came in while doing some Christmas shopping and quickly realized that this is a popular place. They have 2 kiosks at the door where you can order yourself and someone at the counter who is eager to help. We had the Big Star & the starbird and both were tasty. We had never been here so we ordered our own fries but the portions are so large that one order can be shared. Their berry lemonade is a MUST try. Fyi, no bathrooms inside, but the shopping center bathrooms are right next door.

    quite mid i thinkkkk, i still ate down though and their fry portions are quite generous, i wish i could try all their sauces.

    Left is the lemon pepper wings (boneless) and right is the garlic parm

    New favorite takeout it's so so delicious and juicy and the perfect crisp. Get the lemon pepper wings and the sweet Thai tender box. End it with the churros and maple syrup! So yummy!! Need to try the salads because I heard they were good too!

    Not everything tastes like chicken here, there's a special kind of taste to their chicken. Can't miss the location with all the bright yellow chairs, decor, signage, etc. Took over the former Baja Fresh location. Not only are their wings and chicken sandwiches phenomenal, the salads are ginormous and tasty. My daughter makes two servings out of their bountiful salads. I like their orange chicken salad. The DIY kiosks are really convenient, makes ordering fast and easy. There's plenty of parking in this shopping center. Kid-friendly and dog-friendly. My kids still love coming to this Town Center with me, and they're grown adults now. 'Til next time ~ cheers and see you on Yelp (SYOY)!

The inside was clean but dated, Upon Entry I was immediately seated, The hostess was very was nice and was able to answer my questions on the menu. Ordered the dinner portion of the Chicken Katsu with rice and macaroni salad, Egg Rolls, and the Fried Gyoza. The Gyoza's came out first, These were really good as they weren't deep fried but pan fried with slightly crispy bottom with chewy top. The sauce that they give you with the Gyoza's went well along with the green onions. The Egg Roles came out next, They were good as well and freshly fried. The sweat and sour sauce went well with the rolls, wasn't too sweet but had a bit of spice as well. The Chicken Katsu plate we next, the Katsu was freshly fried which perfect as it keeps the breading from getting hard or to crunchy and the chicken juicy.
