It changed so much since I've been here 4-5 years ago, or so. The interior looks the same besides their McDonald's like menu ordering system. Never even had to talk or be face to face with an employee. They have this new menu going on with all Japanese flavor. They went from their traditional Korean like items to lots of Japanese flavors and you can definitely tell! The okonomiyaki fries were so good with all the sauce they give you. Along with their classic starbird chicken but with some ajapnese BBQ sauce! Fun place to eat! read more

Never heard of this place but it came up in a search for "quick healthy lunch". Turns out, some folks from church frequent this place and were there. Apparently keeping secrets! The menu is extensive but I quickly settled on the salad bowl with spicy chicken. Didn't take long and my name was called and my to-go order was bagged and on the counter. Not being a rookie at this, I checked for utensils and napkins (to go, you know!). Bummer - a miss on both counts. Napkins - easy. Fork/spork/chop sticks - not so. I had to spin around a few times like a dog show pup before determining there are none available to the public. Like a restroom in the middle of nowhere, you have to ask. But - there's no one to ask. They're all busy putting together the next hot orders. Fortunately, someone else had food ordered so I grabbed someone's attention and quickly got my utensil. I waved at my friends and out the door I went. The salad was amazing. Loved the crispy chicken, veggies, and nicely balanced amount of dressing. And the portions - plenty! I made two meals out of it and wasn't disappointed. I'll be back. read more

Starbird food and offerings are pretty decent. This store has good seating from booths to tables with individual chairs. Feels more spacious than other locations I've been to so far. Since most of the ordering can be done on a kiosk there isn't much interaction with associates directly. I went to try their new wraps. I got the Thai wrap with crispy chicken. It's pretty decent. Better than a grab-n-go wrap at a grocery store. The one thing I appreciate about Starbird is the GiftAMeal. Simply just take a picture of ur food and share via the QR. I'd like to think I'm giving in a good way when I do this since we all are taking photos of our food anyways!! read more

This chicken was great when I ate it the first time at Popeye's. The coating was like mild popeye's coating, a little thick but the chicken inside was tender and well cooked. The outdoor seating was fine, the drink selection was good. We'll probably try it again at some point. It was okay quality and value for money spent. read more

I ordered a Chopped Chicken Salad and an Elote Corn side to go on Sunday, 06/28/26, at around 6:40 PM. When I came to pick up my order and checked the bag, I noticed that it only contained the salad--the corn side was missing. I politely mentioned it to the male employee at the register (he had a mullet hairstyle with a long tail and a beard). He seemed like he might have been a supervisor or manager, although I'm not sure. When I told him my order was missing the corn side, he looked into the bag, turned toward the kitchen, grabbed the side, and handed it to me. The entire interaction felt awkward. He had a cold expression, didn't say a word, and didn't apologize. I wasn't rude to him at all, but his attitude came across as unfriendly and dismissive. Mistakes happen, and I completely understand that. However, I think it's common courtesy to at least apologize when an order is incomplete, rather than making the customer feel like they're inconveniencing you. I've ordered takeout from this location several times before and have never had an unpleasant experience like this. read more

Big star crispy chicken burger- it's dry and chicken was kind of bland Rainbow slaw- very refreshing with the lemon touch, my favorite Brussel sprouts- my favorite but it's a bit too sweet, i think it's due to the excessive Thai sweet sauce. Will definitely come back for the rainbow slaw and brussel sprouts read more

Wish I could've loved this place but I honestly couldn't. I recently got the chance to try Starbird and I couldn't wait to come back. I was literally CRAVING their Chop Salad. lol. I decided to bring my family here so we could enjoy a nice casual dinner. When we arrived there was plenty of parking and there were only two people in the whole restaurant. I looked over to order and no one was at the register, but then I realized I was supposed to order at the kiosk in front. Honestly I am really not a fan for kiosks for a restaurant because I feel like touching a screen that so many people touch is unsanitary.. but I decided it was not a dealbreaker today. (We just went to the bathroom to wash our hands super well after using the kiosk.) The bathrooms are brand new and nicely kept. I ordered the Barbecue Chicken sandwich with a side of street corn and a drink. We also decided to get the Chicken Chop Salad with avocado and add a side of Brussels Sprouts with a drink. As well as ordering a Kids meal that features chicken nuggets, fries and a drink. I was so excited because I love their selections of different lemonades, they're so yummy! First of all you can definitely taste how high quality the sandwich is and it is very tasty! Great taste and great quality for the Chicken Sandwich but sadly.. I don't think that the price overall is worth it because it's so small in size and includes no sides.. I enjoyed this sandwich but I wouldn't get it again at the current size/price point. My family absolutely LOVED the chop salad with added guac. It was phenomenal. This salad is definitely a great value because it has enough salad to serve two people so the price evens out at $14. Highly recommend the Chop Salad with added guac. It was delicious, satisfying, and filling. LOVE IT. For the kids meal, it had about 4 nuggets and VERY plain fries. My daughter enjoyed the nuggets but sadly HATED the fries.. lol. I will say I think the fries are very healthy because they have no seasoning or salt on them at all.. Unfortunately the kids meal was not enough food for my daughter to be full. (We had to go buy more food at a different place after.) Also I really would have liked if they had milk available for kids because my daughter tried the lemonade/other drinks but wasn't a fan of anything they had available. My family and I really liked the brussels sprouts they are very flavorful and interesting to taste. However I will say I think the sauce is a bit overpowering and I wish they hadn't drenched the brussels sprouts so much so that they were soggy instead of firm. I think if I were to get the brussels sprouts again, I would ask for the sauce on the side so I can have non-soggy brussels sprouts. lol. For the street corn I was a bit surprised that it is served cold. It was definitely different and it tasted pretty good! I wouldn't get it again sadly but it is definitely a nice new + interesting item to try at Starbird. We did enjoy our food but honestly for the price point? The amount of food you receive is sadly not a great value.. My one chicken sandwich + side + drink was over $20. The sandwich is about $12-$14 if you add avocado and it doesn't even come with a side. I find $12-$14 a little pricey for only a small chicken sandwich (it's VERY small...) I would've liked it better if the side was included like most casual places/restaurants do. One last thing that was problematic is.. Although the place was empty, there was a huge water puddle in the middle of the floor on one side of the restaurant. We were sad to see this because we wanted to sit in the booth section but it was next to the giant puddle and my elderly mom was scared to slip over there.. We made sure not to go over there for safety concerns. We ended up finding a booth in the very front, but it was very squished and uncomfortable to sit there. It would have been nice if the tables had been clean on the other side as well. The tables had food particles and food/drink residue from earlier customers that weren't wiped clean. Overall I am so glad that I got to try this place again, but sadly I don't think that we will be visiting again soon. Unless I come back specifically for the Chop salad because I loveeee the chop salad! lol. Also I do enjoy the various lemonade flavors here. #SaladRun? Maybe! I'm considering it. lol. The price point is a bit too high for the quantity of food that you receive. I understand that you're paying more for a higher quality of chicken and ingredients but for a very small moderate meal of 3 the bill was around $60. Sorry but we could've gone to a full service sitdown restaurant and got two full size meals for around the same price (and it would be a better value for the money.) read more

I got their avo cabo crunch salad with double grilled chicken and avocado- it was really good. It's a really big salad, I was pleasantly surprised at how much food was in this bowl. The ingredients all tasted fresh and complimented each other. The grilled chicken was juicy too. Oh and I also got extra dressing. The Avo Cabo Crunch is typically crispy chicken, a fresh romain/cabbage blend, grape tomatoes, pickled red onions, jicama, cotija, pepitas, cilantro, Tajín, avocado mash, and their avocado dressing. The dressing adds a lot of herb-yness to the salad which just adds to the healthy and refreshing taste. I also got some fries, their house star sauce for dipping, as well as some of their Greek yoghurt ranch. Their fries sort of remind me of five guys fries but not so floppy, and their ranch is delicious. The star sauce is like the chicken dipping sauce from places. Theirs is mixed in house and it's pretty good too. Theirs service was really fast and their restaurant seemed clean from the pictures I looked at before ordering. I make it a habit to check that. read more

Came here for the elote salad and was not disappointed! Here's what we got and my thoughts about them - Elote salad: BEST item! Was blown away tbh! Huge portion size also - I shared with my sister and it worked out well. Would come back for just this. - Lemon Garlic tenders + ranch and garlic sauce to dip on the side: Tenders with some sauce on top~ I feel like something was missing? (Like maybe more flavor aside from just lemon garlic sauce on top?) Sorry... - 1 Nashville tender + spicy ranch: it's got a little heat, but I was looking for more depth/flavor/spice. The spicy ranch was also disappointing... - Nashville fries: I would skip this. This might have been better fresh, and I kind of wish I didn't get this at all. Not that it was bad, but it just did not hit. I had to pull out my in-n-out spread to try to save it and couldn't. The interior is a very clean space~ There are kiosks to self-order, but we couldn't use our coupons at the kiosks, so we ended up ordering with a worker and she was very kind! TLDR, I would just stick to the elote salad! Everything else was so okay, but it was fun to try! read more

In the Bay Area we're blessed with quality chicken sandwich choices and this new Starbird location is the latest to join that club. I've dropped by this location twice now but know Starbird well including their earliest store in Sunnyvale. This new store predictably gets the chicken right. In my second visit I ordered the 6 pc nuggets prepared Hot Ranch style. The chicken was crispy, perfectly hot, and juicy inside. The sauce paired well with the chicken and overall quality at this new store was similar to other Starbird locations. I'm not a fan of the impersonal kiosk ordering especially at a new location. Navigating through the many menus, typing in my data, being dragged through additional screens for missing data (I missed chicken or veggie protein?) and then being asked for a tip was tedious and annoying. There was no personal interaction other than hearing my name called from a pick up window although whoever called me was long gone by the time I got there to find my order among the stack on the counter. I couldn't help comparing the experience negatively to the nearby and similar "Daves Hot Chicken" with its friendly/helpful staff. So great chicken (although they have stiff competition in this category now) dragged down by impersonal, cold, and clinical ordering experience and in-store ambiance. I'll probably come back if I'm in the area but it won't become a "destination". Probably better as carry out/delivery. read more

The store has neat and clean touch on decorations, inside and outdoor seatings as well. Menu suitable for fast food with friends and family ( kid friendly menu and seatings). Orders are taken by the kiosk machine, and the order to pick up time is about 5-10 minutes, call by name to pick up . Self serve the drinks you ordered. Got the "the chicken Chop" salad, the fried chicken pieces are on the dry and salty ( for my taste), and the lettuce chops are big and somehow it is hard to manage with one elegant bite. Mainly the dressing ( orange one) lack some touching. Overall food fresh and convenient. read more

Clean place. Good food (for a fast food sorta place). There's a touch screen in store for ordering and they call your name when the food is ready. Took just about 5 or so minutes I think. Kids had the nuggets and fries meal and some wings (plain and garlic parmesan). They really enjoyed it. I had the green goddess salad. It was quite large. Very filling and delicious. Not to mention feeling pretty good about eating my veggies. Pretty good chance I'll be back. It's great they have the salad option and other things for kids. read more

Came here for a meal since I was gifted a gift card. I love chicken, so I was excited to eat here. They don't really have someone at the counter to take your order, but they have 4 virtual kiosks. I got the 3 Nashville tenders with fries, which came out to over $15, which seems pretty expensive to me. It also came with 3 dipping sauces, which I liked because of the variety. The chicken was very juicy, and had a light crisp on the outside. Fries were pretty average. Inside is clean and polished including the restroom. read more

Fresh tenders and fries, great lemonades. Nice clean location. The chicken was good. I prefer the classic ones, but I tried the new lemon garlic tenders this time. It was okay, I didn't think the sauce added that much to make it amazing in my opinion. It was lemony and cheesy. A bit too thick in consistency. The sweet thai tenders were good, as the sauce was more spread out. The fries were potato-y and yummy, the kale slaw tasty as well. I found the greek yogurt ranch to be a bit runnier than usual, hopefully it was just a one-off thing. The lemonades were excellent. Their rotating menu is pretty great to look forward to. Always refreshing and tasty. Good iced tea as well. read more

I only recently started getting into Starbird, and their salads are definitely something worth craving! Their new Bella chop salad is amazing--balsamic, aoli, AND a dressing? Flavorful, the best chicken, and a decent price. Starbird has replaced TJ salads, Mendocino farms salads, and any other place. Always my go-to! Also love that this location has its own designated parking spots, so I never worry about parking in this lot. Lots of high and low tables, clean bathrooms. read more

+ Food: Chicken was crispy and moist, sauces and salad dressing were flavorful. Good portion sizes. + Service: I ordered on their app and the food was ready in 15 minutes. Decently fast at lunch time. + Ambiance: The dog-friendly patio outside has plenty of tables in the shade. It was a little chilly in the shade without heat lamps, so we decided to eat at home. read more

Came to Starbird's soft opening with a friend and had such a fantastic experience. She's a big fan of Starbird and knew exactly what to order, which helped me tremendously. We ordered the classic tender box, big star sandwich, 8 wings with lemon pepper and sweet thai chili, house fries, and Thai chicken salad. They were out of the churros so we split an Its-it ice cream sandwich (my first time trying it). We also got blood lemonade and regular lemonade for our beverages. The chicken here isn't too greasy and the meat is very juicy which I love!! The Thai chicken salad was fantastic, I'd order this again. It was so filling and came with a great variety of veggies. The classic tenders were also solid, the seasonings on the chicken wings were delightfully savory. Service is excellent, the waiters are very attentive. The interior is also decorated in a super fun way, Starbird is a great restaurant to go to regardless of whether you are doing take-out or delivery. I highly recommend coming here if you're a big fried chicken fan. read more

Starbird is a new fried chicken shop in the area that has some seriously good chicken! I came here on a Wednesday afternoon to claim my $15 off coupon (from the grand opening deal). There are a couple parking spaces, and it should be easy to find parking during non-peak hours. Inside you can order via the electronic kiosk or the cashier. I got the 4 tenders with the honey chipotle and truffle sauce an; parmesan truffle fries side. I was very pleased with meal. The chicken tenders were crispy yet soft inside, and both sauces made it taste different. The honey chipotle sauce was definitely the highlight. The parmesan truffle fries is large enough for two people and had a strong truffle flavor (with the sauce). My only issue was that the chicken was too salty for me ( this might not be the same for you). This place is a welcome addition to the Cupertino food scene and I'm glad Starbird chicken is in the area now! read more

So excited to finally have a Starbird in my 'hood! We've been frequenting your Sunnyvale location for years, so we're happy to have one closer to home. Although we were sad to see The Counter go, we're thrilled that it was replaced by another yummy fast casual restaurant, conveniently located on Stevens Creek Blvd in Cupertino. This newly opened restaurant is bright and spacious, the service was friendly, helpful and fast, the food was delicious and freshly made, and the entire experience was top notch! We decided to be healthier today (hey, January isn't over so we're not giving up on those New Year's resolutions yet!), so my partner and I both ordered salads. He had the Chicken Chop Salad with grilled chicken, and I had the Bella Chop Salad with crunchy fried chicken. Both were very generous portions, with fresh ingredients, and the dressings were super tasty! We also enjoyed the freshly brewed "House crafted" beverages. I especially enjoyed the Blood Orange Lemonade. We can't wait to go back! I'm also considering using them for catering an event at a local school where I volunteer. Really hoping they offer discounts for schools! However they shared that they won't have catering until the end of January - noted! read more

Starbird has the best salads and tenders. This is the first time I've been to the Cupertino location and it was nice that it was next to a boba place and had lots of outdoor seating. Wish they still had the Green Goddess salad that was the best but got the new avo cado one that still has the Greek goddess dressing. I get the chicken tenders a la carte as a side with the spicy mango sauce to dip. Overall can't go wrong eating here- we go at least once a week! read more

There's a new opening promotion and we heard of this chain a lot. So why not? They appears to have only nuggets, wings, and sandwich, but not just chicken pieces. There are many sauce options to experiment too. The star-sauce was a honey-mustard variation, I think. Pretty good. The pieces are about twice bigger than standard chicken nuggets, most of them appeared to be white meat. Batter was on the thick side and meat a bit dry, but that's what the sauces are for. Wings were pro-tossed with your specified sauce. We found the "plain" one quite good as well. Salads are what they are good at. The veggies had variety in texture and flavors. Nuggets were cut into bite sizes. Again, there are several dressings to choose from. Sandwich was good. Churros were bad! Overall, we were happy and probably will do more in the future. read more

Starbird Chicken has just opened up in Cupertino. The location is convenient but parking can be a challenge. Starbird Chicken has many options on their menu. I order the chicken salad and it was good. I would suggest if you enjoy their salad dressing, then ask for an additional serving cup. For those who have nut or nightshade allergies, you need to be aware and have them taken out. This is a good place for lunch or take out. Service was excellent and my chicken salad was made with very little wait time. Ambiance is more in line with a fast food restaurant. Maybe, a bit better !? I definitely will come again and sample other items on their menu. read more

I love the ordering stations at Starbird. It's fun to tap through the interface and enter your order. The chicken here is always flavorful and crispy. For sauces, my absolute favorite is the truffle aioli. Though if you get the Lemon Garlic Tenders, it comes sauced up already and needs nothing extra. Every employee I saw here greeted me with a smile. Super friendly service. Some of the tables had crumbs leftover from previous guests, but overall this location is brand new and very clean. read more

Salad craving hits the spot at Starbird. The service was ok but the gal working the back appeared a bit confused. Asked if we ordered online and what our name was and couldn't locate the order for ten minutes. No biggie. Food came out hot. Two downfalls: no napkins or utensils in the bag and the chicken was so hot that the area it was placed on the salad began whilting. The restaurant was clean but the bathroom needed a bit of work. The floor was sticky and the handicap stall had no toilet paper! Regardless of the simple fix issues, we will patronize Starbird, but not this one. read more

The food came out quick and the service was very helpful when i was asking the usual annoying questions.

The star sauce was bomb and people should definitely try that. read more

I actually reallyyyyy love Starbird! Their items all look so tasty and clean. I've tried their sandwiches before but omg I think personally their salad is a highlight. They give you large portions and the chicken and all the ingredients tastes so fresh and "healthy".

I'd say it's a really great deal! Service is also great at this location. You just order at a kiosk and you can track your order on the screen. Overall would definitely come back again!! read more

I had never heard of this place until our little league was doing a fundraiser here. I decided to order food for the family. I ordered online and the prices seemed very reasonable. When I arrived to pick up my order the staff was super friendly. They had my order ready to go and the place itself is very clean. We chatted a littl3 bit and then took the food home. When we got in the car my 4 year old twins said they wanted to eat right away because it smelled so good. Any parent of kiddos knows this is a huge compliment. Now, this where it gets even better... I was shocked at the size of the portions they were huge!!! The sauces were delicious. The chicken were also huge with the best looking produce on them. The chicken was cooked to perfection! The tater tots, the freench fries. Everything was amazing. We will definitely be back! read more

Starbird Chicken is an underrated chain solely chicken spot. Perched on Stevens Creek Cupertino this place is a hidden gem that should be getting looked at over other fast food chicken places like Popeyes and KFC. There was a lot of seating and space and great ambiance with music and clean seat. I loved that they had a large collection of soft drinks. The elote street corn was delicious with plenty of tajin, cheese, sweet corn, and cream. The Cali Gold BBQ Bacon burger was huge and tasty. They were stingy with the bacon but they made up with the portion of chicken. The burger was so good and all the flavors worked well together. The bun was soft and buttery and the chicken was tender and freshly fried. The burger was a must get for me. Overall, for a somewhat reasonably price the food was delicious and had a large portion so I would definitely recommend Starbird to others for its food and ambiance! read more

Soooo happy there's a Starbird location closer to me now! Starbird is one of my favorite spots to get salads because the portions are huge and every salad they have is always delicious.

We jumped at the offer to try it at a discount. I ordered the Bella Chicken salad and upgraded to include the parmesean fries and a large soda. The woman helping at the kiosk was very helpful. My partner in crime ordered the hot chicken sandwich which was OK (there is a lot of competition for items like that). The salad was larger than what it seems. The fries are very good. I confirmed that they do not have the robotic fry making arm here. The seats are a bit high so my legs dangled. It is a fast casual atmosphere. read more

3rd time I have come to this location as it's close to work but it is by far the worst one I have been to. My food is always room temperature.
