Not to be dramatic but this was one of the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The fries are hot and crispy too! 10/10

This place was fantastic. The person serving me and my friends was very polite, showcasing the menu and the different options, they even showed me what I ordered before I left. The food was also delicious! It was amazing quality chicken and very juicy. I loved it. read more

Steve's Chicken - Mom's Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Pretty good wings! Finally tried this place in Pearlridge after seeing it for a while in the food court area. Gives Vons some serious competition ...tastewise, I liked this better I thought based on this one sample. 5 pc + rice (or fries) + a medium drink + tax = about $21. But the pieces were pretty good sized and they actually gave me 6 pieces! Score! I had the shoyu garlic, one of the more popular flavor, and it was great! Sweet, garlicky and shoyuy flavor, with crunchy and moist pieces of chx. Eat that with a bit of sauce on the rice ...winnaz! I thought slightly on the pricy side for a lunch, but the taste made up for it. The owner (?) Personally came out to thank me for the order which was really nice. So yep, I would eat here again if I'm in the mood for fried chicken in PR ! read more

I visited Steve's Chicken with my gal pals. With a wide selection of food places of in the Pearlridge Food court, I was intrigued by the friendly and welcoming staff. I ordered the mom's chicken sandwich and the 5 piece garlic wings. My gal pal and I decided to share the food since it was a late lunch. The order came out fast and it was piping hot. The food came with gloves, which I appreciate since it's hard to eat saucy wings when you're out with friends. It's common to have gloves or hand wipes with finger foods in Asia. Anyway, we had to let the sandwich and wings cool for a bit. You could tell the food was fresh because of all the steam coming out. Once the food cooled down a little, we took a bite. It was so delicious. The wings were flavorful and had a crispy exterior. The sandwich was tall and filled with chicken and veggies. My friend and I happily ate the food and raved about how delicious it is. I definitely recommend trying this place. Usually mall food courts are slim pickings, but this place was satisfying and has good portions. read more

Steve's Chicken - Garlic shoyu chicken wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

I'm surprised I never ate at Steve's in uptown Pearlridge. I guess no better time than doing it today, huh? First impression leaves me liking what I see in terms of the options. I guess since I was kind of wanting to try something different, I opted for the Sweet Chili Sandwich. And...I gotta say, I'm impressed by what they're doing. The coating of the chicken isn't thick, and the vegetables were great to complement it well. The sweet chili sauce definitely comes out with each bite, and there was just enough of it to enjoy the meal. Overall, it's very good for what you get. Maybe next time, I should try another of their flavored chicken sandwiches/wings if I ever go back there again. read more

Steve's Chicken - Sweet Chili Chicken sandwich. Yum! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Went for a quick bite to eat for dinner at the pearlridge uptown food court. My cousin got a chicken sandwich here and she said it was really good. So I decided to order a chicken sandwich myself. Customer service here is top tier, super friendly and helpful staff. I was having trouble choosing which chicken sandwich to get because they came in so many flavors! But the employee explained and broke down the menu for me. I opted for the honey garlic sandwich. Let me start off by saying that the sandwich is HUGE! The chicken is THICK but packed with so much flavor. It was sweet, salty & savory! The fries the comes in the combo were delish too. Very comparable fries to Zippys or jolibee if you're into that. I really really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be coming back to order more chicken sandwiches or even try their chicken wings. read more

Gotta love walking up to order for the first time with my family and being serenaded with: "La La La Lava Ch Ch Ch Chicken Steve's Lava Chicken, yeah it's tasty as hell Ohhhh mamacita now you're ringing the bell Crispy and juicy, now you're having a snack Oohh super spicy it's a lava attack!" Automatic 10/10 for putting a smile on all our faces, being attentive to not only my husband and I, but also super engaging with all our boys as well. We ordered the boys: 15 piece original wings with rice Steve's hot chicken sandwich Once the boys got their food, we noticed Uncle at the counter watching them enjoy eating and even went out of his way to hand deliver some shoyu with furikake! Who does that?! Mad props and respect to him! Thank you for making Steve's Chicken a great experience for them! As far as the chicken, my boys loved it and considered Steve's to be TOP 5! Can't wait to come back! read more

I'd always wanted to try Steve's Chicks in Kunia, so I was bummed to see it close. I was excited when they opened a new location in Pearlridge and finally got the chance to stop by! Steve's Chicken is a fast casual Korean fried chicken spot located in the uptown food court. We were greeted with friendly, upbeat service as we looked at their menu of sandwiches and wings. We ordered two jumbo chicken thigh sandwiches to share. Honey Garlic Chicken Sandwich - Juicy chicken, cheese, lettuce, pickles and a super buttery and garlicy sauce! Think garlic shrimp in chicken form. Would definitely order again! Spicy Mom's Chicken Sandwich - Crispy chicken with cheese, onions, lettuce and a drizzle of hot sauce. Surprisingly spicy and delicious! The price is definitely high but the sandwiches are large and quality! read more

Stopped by Steve's Chicken in the Pearlridge Mauka (Uptown) food court. We ordered the honey garlic chicken sandwich, the Italian basil pesto chicken sandwich combo (comes with fries and a drink), and a 2-choice order of chicken wings with the supreme and snow cheese powder flavor (10 wings total). The sandwiches use chicken thigh, which makes them extra juicy. The breading is light and crisp but not as crispy as other Korean chicken spots. Portion is huge! It could easily be feed 1-2 people. The honey garlic is sweet and savory and kinda reminded me of a honey mustard, and the Italian basil pesto was herbaceous. The wings are bone-in flats and drumettes. The supreme flavor wings reminded us of a sweet BBQ with a mild spicy kick. I wish they offered that sauce as a side for the fries, I would totally purchase. The snow cheese powder had that nostalgic cheesy flavor similar to Doritos or Cheetos. Service was quick, and the staff were genuinely friendly. We're pretty sure the owner was behind the counter, chatting with customers and playing with the kids. You can really feel the local, family-run vibe here. read more

I was just walking by when the owner called me over. He was very kind and started explaining the various items on the menu, i ended up going with the snow cheese powder chicken wings. The wings were VERY tasty and the flavor was like no other wings i've had before. After i paid he even gave me a choco pie on the house! I will definitely be back soon to try other items on the menu or to reorder the snow cheese powder wings again. read more

Steve's Chicken - 7. Snow Chicken Wings - Combo - Chicken Wings Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

As a longtime fan of Steve's chicken ever since Chicken Factory days, I'm so glad this restaurant exists. It's a bit further out from town in Pearlridge, but I'm willing to make the drive for this chicken. Steve's Chicken offers huge Korean chicken sandwiches along with Korean fried chicken in a variety of flavors. Their snow cheese chicken is always a must for me. This flavor comes completely caked in a sweet and salty cheese powder just like the kind you can get in Korea. Some of my other favorite flavors are the supreme (mild sauced chicken with a lemon sauce added) and the shoyu garlic. The wings were perfectly juicy and meaty inside. I am a fan of their fries, which are on the light/underdone side, but others may have different preferences. Sadly I still haven't tried their sandwiches because the urge to get wings is always too strong. When I do get the chance, their egg chicken sandwich looks interesting. I do still wish they would bring back the cheesy pesto chicken concoction they used to have at Chicken Factory because that was the best. This may go without saying, but the service is always great and Steve is so fun and kind! Ultimately that's what keeps us coming back. read more

Mother cluckin' good chicken sandwiches. Thanks Aron N. for the recommendation. Putting this rating into perspective, Popeye's, KFC, or Jollibee chicken sandwiches are all one star. Eighty Chicken Sandwiches, the best chicken sandwich in Hawaii, is five stars. These are giant, weighty sandwiches. Three large chicken thigh tenders in hearty potato buns slathered with whatever tasty sauce makes up your selection, piled high with veg that interestingly is tossed with a sweet dressing. Sliced dill pickles finish up the creations. The best part, the chicken isn't over salted. It allows the flavors like the pesto and shaved parm of the Italian Basil Pesto Chicken Sandwich to stand out. All is not perfect. The fish for the fish and chips is processed and taste like it's been frozen too long. The fries are oddly rubbery. Inexpensive in tariff town 'Murica averaging $15 each. Very friendly service. A solid, albeit different take on chicken sandwiches that are well worth a visit to a mall food hall. read more

We were searching for a place to have lunch. Steve's Chicken was highly recommended by our fellow Yelper's. Located in the Pearlridge Shopping Center on the Macy's side food court. Service is friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. They cook everything fresh well worth the short wait. Today we tried Mama's Chicken Sandwich Combo and the Original and Snow Chicken Wings. The sandwich was delicious and the wings totally cravable. Dine in at the food court seating or take out available. Definitely a great place for Fried Chicken read more

Did I go to Steve's Chicken because I saw a BTS advertised sandwich? Yes Did I pick my order based on a BTS member inspired sandwich? Yes Was I disappointed? No! Got the BTS HoT egg Jung Kook sandwich 10/10 would buy again! Spicy lover here and I was ready! But the cashier was kind to let me know what to expect when eating. *I love spicy, but I hate when it's all spice and no flavor... and just pain. Perfectly spicy flavored sauce, perfectly fried chicken, pickles, lettuce, onion, cheese, and egg salad?! Dripping with flavor Crisp veggies and egg salad paired and smoothed out the spicy sauce. Quality and size matched the larger price tag. 1000% satisfied with the sandwich and will be going back to try more! read more

I just ate the largest chicken sandwich I have ever seen. I mean, you might think that Popeyes and Jollibee have large chicken sandwiches and you are right! They are large. But Steve's chicken sandwich is ridiculously LARGE! There must be twice the amount of chicken in this sandwich! The container couldn't close and the sandwich was bursting out of the container! Is it good? Yes! But let me get into the specifics..... The sandwich is so large that it actually suffers from being too big. My first bite needed way more flavor. The chicken itself is not heavily seasoned so it's actually quite bland. Adding salt doesn't help - it needs more herbs or spices or brine. It is a large piece of chicken and it needs some kind of brine or seasoning to make that bite sing. However, all is not lost, the sandwich actually does pack a punch (I got the pesto sandwich BTW). The punch and flavor is on the bottom! Unfortunately I was several big bites in before I realized it. The onions, sweet pickles, dressing, pesto, cheese was mostly on the bottom. I took a bite from the bottom and it was a sweet delicious concoction! But by then my sandwich was falling apart. At that point I used a fork and knife. Even then, I had HUGE pieces of chicken that I had to eat. So maybe the answer is to turn it upside down in the wrapper and eat it that way? The sandwich was around $14 for the sandwich alone so it's pricey - but you get a lot. Overall, quite an experience and good service. If you are hungry and want the biggest chicken sandwich you have ever seen, go to Steve's! But take it from me, rotate the sandwich before eating and you will enjoy the first few bites a lot more! read more

Popped by to pick up the "moms chicken sandwich" for the hubby Front counter server was a friendly, polite young man YOU stand out because you were so polite! Rare find nowadays! Steve later came out to explain the chicken is organic, how its marinated well and twice fried for crisp texture. I Like that he uses quality ingredients. I agreed that I dont want FAST food, I want GOOD food! You are such a friendly man I can tell you enjoy what you do! Such a happy bunch here! I dont eat much fried food but if you DO! THIS is the BEST fried chicken! Hubby loves it so when we're in that area we will try the other items you suggested Thanks for the surprise treat too! read more

Juicy, tender, flavorful, finger licking, five pieces of mild seasoned chicken wings moist on inside and crispy on the outside. Definitely worth $13.99. To go establishment features a combo choice of fries or rice and fountain drink for extra $6.99. Thin, crispy fries ideal for dipping in excess sauce. Raspberry iced tea with perfect amount of crushed ice was refreshing on a hot day. Worker and Owner are very friendly. I asked the worker, "Which flavors are popular?" She mentioned the flavors are garlic shoyu, snow cheese powder, and seasoned chicken wings I can choose either mild, medium or spicy. I'm thinking, "Wow! I'm sold on the flexibility of choices for spice level in seasoned chicken wings." Worker asked me, "If I'm ok with waiting 15 minutes as they will make more chicken?" Owner apologized for wait time due to making a big order earlier this morning. I said, "Yes." Worth the 15 mins wait. Located in Pearlridge Mall Food Court ground floor. Garlic shoyu and snow cheese powder chicken sounds appealing on a future visit. read more

Hidden gem at the Pearlridge Mauka Food court! Owner was very personable and was entertaining my daughter while we waited for our order. There were several flavors available and we tried the seasoned (medium spice), supreme, and snow. All were delicious and the flavoring was on point. The seasoned medium spice was just the right amount of heat. The supreme had a good tang and creaminess to it. The snow had a good layer of cheese seasoning without being overly sweet. The chicken itself was juicy with a good crunch. We will definitely be back to try the other food items and flavors!! read more

Great chicken and friendly service. Located in the Pearlridge "Mauka / uptown" food court where Church's Chicken used to be. I ordered the garlic soy and the flavor was great. The chicken was moist. The chicken wasn't as crispy as other KFC places, but it didn't need to be. Ordered the chicken again for a party and stuck with the garlic soy and it was a winner. The mustard wings was good too! I didn't think I would care for it, but the mustard sauce was perfect. Steve is a nice guy. Always smiling and greeting his customers. They pass out Korean snacks like choco pies to customers. I'm coming back to try other flavors. I have my eye on the egg salad chicken sandwich! read more

We were in the area and heard about this place. Stopped in and like the reviews indicate the chicken is crispy! We tried the mom's chicken sandwich and a 2 chicken combo (honey garlic and snow cheese) 10 piece. These were not disappointing and the portions were very generous! We had leftovers. The chicken sandwich is huge and a little hard to eat and very filling! The lemon honey mustard goes great with it. Yes, it may seem pricey but prices are rising everywhere. For what we paid, we're not complaining. It's par for the course. The staff and manager there are hilarious and it was a pleasure talking with him!

New KFC place...well, new to me anyway. They've been open for about 3 months in the Pearlridge mauka side food court. We tried the nuggets and the Mama KFC sandwich, advertised a "2 chili pepper" hot. The nuggets were good and plentiful. They say 10 per order but I think we got 12-13. The sauce is mild and mustard based. Not bad! The Mama chicken sandwich was enormous and comes a a deluxe sandwich with onions, lettuce and their sauces: one is mayo-based and the other is definitely their FIYAH! Even though they say it's a level 2 (out of 4) I would say for me it was definitely way higher, like on my scale 8/10. That being said, I like the fact that a) they use chicken thighs, which are juicier and more flavorful than white meat, and b) they stack a total of THREE chicken thighs in their sandwich! I'd definitely try them again, but maybe ask for their fire sauce on the side. We didn't opt for the combo, which would have boosted the price by about $6 and I didn't need fries and a drink...oh, wait, I DID need a drink after all that heat! Courteous service, and although it's a bit of a wait for the orders, you know it's being cooked up hot and fresh. They also have a 4 chili pepper sandwich for daring souls... read more

Juicy, plump fried chicken! My family noticed Steve's Chicken in the Pearlridge food court, so they wanted to give them a try. First impression was great! It seemed like the owner and staff are so eager to serve you. As my son was deciding what he wanted to order, the owner was helpful in making suggestions based off the most popular menu items. After a few minutes of deliberation, my son selected the Honey Garlic Chicken Sandwich meal that comes with fries and a large drink - $21.98 with tax. My wife ended up ordering the Spicy Mom's Chicken Sandwich meal - $20.93. She loved it! It was a level 3 spice and she said "it was pretty damn good!" Both my wife and son couldn't finish their meals. I'd say these meals are on the pricier side, but quality speaks thru the preparation, portion and flavors combined. Note: Don't get a drink here and think you can walk to mall. The cup is super flimsy and is not made to be held by the sides once condensation is in full effect lol.. we could only hold it by the lid, which is a hazard in itself. Anyways, we'll be back :) read more

I just recently came back from Korea last month and by happenstance checked out Steve's Chicken at Pearlridge mall food court on the Uptown side. During my last trip, I learned chicken burger is popular in Korea and I love how Steve's Chicken brings both LA and Korea vibes together in Hawaii. It is different from Mom's Touch (a popular chicken burger shop) in Korea, but both bring good flavor. What is unique or interesting to me is the spice level that you can choose. Whoa, my sister in law from Korea handled the spice but I grew up in the states, so a couple bites of the spicy chicken burger and I was K.O. I would definitely go back to try different chicken burgers here with my family. The service was good and they were helpful in explaining their menu. If you need something not too spicy like me, check out mom's chicken burger. Good luck to the brave souls kicking up their spice level out there. read more

We got their most popular one which I believe was the mom chicken sandwich. We bought 2 sandwiches and it came out to almost $40 and they weren't even combos. But I'm a chicken aficionado. The chicken was flavorful, but not worth the price you can get the same taste almost if you were to go to Popeyes. In my opinion I'd pick pops over Steve's just cause of the pricing alone. It's tucked in the food court at Pearl ridge, but the sign is massive so u won't miss it. The cashier was helpful with the questions we asked. read more

I just love when you randomly stumble upon a real gem. Steve's is located in the Uptown food court next to Tilt and Genki Sushi. Steve's sandwiches are HUGE, JUICY and packed with oozing FLAVOR. This unassuming food court eatery brings so much value to the food scene there. Tried Mom's Chicken Sandwich and Steve's Hot Chicken Sandwich. Both were a definite hit. Steve's hot chicken sandwich definitely packed a lot of spice. *Spicy tip: there's different levels of spice as the menu shows. Medium spicy chicken sandwich Steve's Mom's Chicken Sandwich Steve's Hot Chicken Sandwich +1/2 ^What we got, it was HOT Steve's Burning Hot Chicken Sandwich (includes Ghost Pepper, Habanero, Carolina Reaper) Price. Don't be discouraged by $13-16 sandwiches. They are HUGE and will absolutely fill you up. You'll be just as full as eating a plate lunch for the same price. PLUS, the quality is absolutely there. We got to talk to the owner, Steve, and you can see his pride and care for his business, food and employeed radiating from his sunny smile. He cares so much about the QUALITY of his ingredients. The lettuce was fresh and crispy. Pickles were crunchy and briney. Even the onion were sliced thinly with care. The star of it all was the massive juicy chicken though that was fried to crispy golden perfection. It was a pleasure to taste the love in his culinary artistry. I only hope to spread the word about this wonderful business so Steve can open doors island wide! read more
