    Indian hot bird sandwich but with lettuce wrap (it was a mistake on my part!)
    Cindy M.

    We were in the area the other week and were curious what this shop was. Then we saw some gift cards for sale in the nearby Costco, and I was wondering if we would be able to spend the amount that the gift card offers lol! We finally got to try Starbird today, and we got the Indian hotbird sandwich, Avo Cabo salad, and a side of fries. My fat fingers accidentally hit the "lettuce wrap, no bun" option for the Indian hotbird sandwich when we ordered at the kiosk (we didn't figure this out until we opened the box at home). Even though that was the case, they used romaine lettuce, and it was so crisp. The Indian hotbird tenders had a good flavor profile, and it wasn't that spicy. I would order this again, but would probably go for the regular bun option lol. The chicken was a bit soggy for this one, since it had lots of sauce and romaine lettuce, but again, I accidentally clicked for the lettuce, which I would expect to add to the sogginess of the crispy chicken. The Avo Cabo salad was HUGE! Definitely good as a standalone meal or to share. There was also a generous amount of crispy chicken in there chopped up. The chicken was pretty crispy even though it was next to the lettuce in this box, maybe a bit on the salty side for me, when the dressing was added to it. There is also a good amount of batter on the chicken. I am not a fan of cotija cheese because of the smell, but I can see how people would enjoy that. I would probably order it without cotija next time. I really liked the jicama...it seemed like it had a bit of tajin. The jicama was crunchy but had a bit of a softness to it, like a Korean pear texture. I also liked that there was avocado in this salad, which is also why I chose it. For $4.27, the fries were kind of small. It had a nice amount of salt, but was more on the soggy side for me. My husband enjoyed the sogginess of the fries, though. I would probably order these extra crispy next time. Service was friendly. Even though we didn't click on the utensils and napkins for checkout at the kiosk, they ensured that we got some when they offered and we took them up on their offer. There were some tables that seemed dirty when we came in, but probably they were dealing more so with the dinner time rush for to-go orders rather than getting to clean the tables. I can't wait to go back and try their other sandwiches, salads, and even their nuggets!

    I've only ordered from here via door dash, it is really delicious! I was skeptical ordering out for a salad, because I've had a number of bad experiences with the quality when being delivered from other places. This is my second time ordering from here and everything seems super fresh and clean. Flavor combination is on point. I also love that they make sure the delivery bag is sealed tightly with their security stickers. Also had the fries and they are nicely seasoned, so far so good ! Looking forward to trying more of their menu

    WINNER-WINNER, Chicken Dinner! Literally. This is by far the BEST chicken eatery in the Bay Area! And the majority of the menu is GLUTEN FREE!!!!! But their menu options are not only better, heavier options than their competitors, it's absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!! Service, STELLAR! Space, CLEAN! Menu, REASONABLY PRICED! Be sure to try the Star sauce if you get the wings. Lemon pepper is my fav! My favorite salad is the spicy crunch! Flavorful, filling with a hearty serving of chicken. And the lemonade is Can't wait to return!

    do yourself a favor skip the long lines at Chick-fil-A and come get your chicken here!! all so fresh and the place is rarely dirty. their chicken is good grilled and fried. so if you don't wanna deal with the oil one day, I definitely suggest get your chicken grilled. still super tasty but won't make you feeling tired by the end

    This place has the flavor that I'd like to see at Proposition Chicken. This place has a good, crisp, sizable, gluten-free fried chicken tender. My sister told me about this place and we were in Walnut Creek so we went. It was nice and cute inside and had plenty of space to sit. My husband was being a baby and didn't want anything, so I ordered for the both of us - Nashville hots for him and the regular for me. I'm so glad that I ordered four pieces. The chicken was hot, crisp, and oh, so good... First of all, the hubby loved it. After two tenders, my husband admitted that he was full. So was I. Those tenders were huge and flavorful. And the sauces, I ordered the Starbird sauce, the truffle aioli, and the herbed aioli. They were all solid and brought another layer of flavor to the party. The fries were good too. We ordered two and got three. I know that next time we will order a single fry and two orders of tenders. And I was glad to see the soda there, the Alameda Soda Company has good sodas and I haven't seen them anywhere since Boss Burger closed. I won't be here much because it is so far out of the way. Can someone please get a franchise in a much closer place to me so that this can become a regular haunt. They are proof positive that gluten free fried food is good and flavorful. My husband absolutely loved it and called my sister to thank her for the reference. That's how good it was. There food was so good, that they can be forgiven for not having a gluten free bun for a sandwich because the solid flavor of the chicken and the dipping sauces are a match made in heaven!

    Was looking for a salad with chicken and I knew they used the tenders in the salad. Went with the sesame ramen salad and the parmesan truffle fries for a split between two. The salad was huge and very fresh. The fries were great as well. The order status board is helpful.

    Starbird is great, but didn't feel particularly special. It's pretty pricy for chicken sandwiches, and wasn't all that flavorful. However, the food does feel high quality and natural. It's not overly greasy and is definitely good. The Greek yogurt ranch was amazing, and the Korean style sandwich was super fun fusion. I wish that the truffle fries had more truffle, as they were mostly just cheesy. Overall, nothing is super wrong - the portion sizes are great, the food was good. It just wasn't amazing for the price, and I was left feeling sort of like my chicken sandwich itch wasn't scratched, if that makes sense.

    Starbird Chicken in Walnut Creek: My New Crunchy Obsession! Okay, let me just say, Starbird Chicken in Walnut Creek is quickly becoming my go-to spot for a crispy, saucy, chicken-fueled happiness fix. I've visited the place by a couple of times, and I'm already daydreaming about my next visit. Here's the breakdown on why this place is great. Parking? No Sweat! No dedicated parking lot, but the plaza around Starbird is like a treasure hunt for spots--plenty to go around, so you won't be circling like a vulture. Easy peasy. Vibes. The outdoor seating is perfect for soaking up some sun or chilling under the stars. And when the sun goes down? Those illuminations are straight-up magical, like dining in a cozy, twinkly wonderland. Instagram-worthy, for sure. Staff. The crew here is so friendly, I almost forgot I was a first-timer. They walked me through the menu like I was their VIP, telling their favorite items and helping me pick the perfect order. I felt like I was chatting with friends. Inside The place is clean. No sticky tables or mystery crumbs in sight. Plus, they've got tables for every squad size--solo diners, duos, or a whole party. Ordering - Pick Your Personality. Starbird's got options for every social vibe. Introverts, rejoice: you can order through the app or get delivery. Medium social butterflies? Hit the kiosk inside. Extroverts? Strut up to the counter and chat it up. Drinks Their drink lineup is like a soda adventure. I'm talking unique flavors you won't find just anywhere--Lost Island Ginger Beer, Cable Car Lemon Lime, and my personal fave, Olde Fountain Creme. It's like they raided a soda museum and brought back the good stuff. Food The chicken strips are the star of the show for me -- original and garlic parmesan are my favourite. They're very crunchy and crispy. The sauce game is next-level, too. Mango Habanero? Spicy and sweet perfection. Greek Yogurt Ranch? Creamy dreaminess. Star Sauce? I don't know what's in it, but I want to bathe in it. The only hiccup? The boneless wings. The Cali Gold BBQ and Lemon Pepper ones were too dry. Way too salty, like they got lost in a spice rub blizzard. If they could make those juicier and dial back the salt, they'd be unstoppable. Almost forgot, they can make all of your salads order protein free. Overall - I'm Hooked! Starbird Chicken is a vibe, whether you're flying solo or rolling with your crew. Their hours are super flexible, so you can satisfy your chicken cravings pretty much anytime. If you're in Walnut Creek, do yourself a favor and wing it over to Starbird. You won't regret it!

    I love this place! food is high-quality and great prices consistently good and fast service. The staff here are very friendly and their customer rewards system is generous. Thank you for making a great product at comfortable prices.

    Receipt of their verification

    After previously having issues with missing items, we decided to order from this place again through DoorDash. I called the dasher and asked him to verify with the restaurant that all my dressings were included in the bag. The employee his name is Leo confirmed to the dasher that he had personally checked and that all dressings were inside. The dasher reiterated that this was important because dressings had been missing in the past, and the employee again assured him everything was included. The order arrived, and two dressings were still missing. How does this continue to happen? Mind you I got told it was going to be addressed.

The aroma of freshly cooked Thai tea filled the space. I ordered BBQ pork and it came out smaller than I expected but it tasted clean and fresh. It was enough to satisfy my craving. Service wasn't very fast as they cook the meat as you order that accounts for the freshness of the sandwich. I paid for extra pâté but it still wasn't enough. If you're used the the huge delicious banh mis from Story Road in San Jose, the pork bbq sandwich from here don't measure up as far as I'm concerned. They're much smaller, almost half the size. I wish the pork bbq had more flavor to it and more veggies were added. If you have a big appetite, one sandwich might not be anough.
