First place we ate for our first time in Utah. Weve never heard of Viva chicken but thought it would be a good option for protein. Nice change for fast casual dining and stop in St. George. The family meal came with three large sides and I believe a whole chicken! (Hormone free and all natural so the chicken was not very big like Costco's) The green beans were well spiced, and I loved the Amarillo sauce. The sauce bar is self serve as well. I'll def try this place again and maybe get a salad or wrap next time. read more

I was in town visiting and needed something soupy. I saw this place, basically Peruvian fast food is how I would describe it. I ordered the bowl of chicken soup and my partner ordered the daily special, basically what I ordered but without the soup. There's plenty of seating available, food came out quickly, and plenty of parking. Pros: soup was flavorful, nourishing, and a huge portion, I barely made a dent. It was perfect since I felt under the weather. My partner enjoyed his food, love the daily specials as the pricing was very affordable. The staff are friendly and answered all my questions patiently. Cons: there's no locations in California. Please open one in California! read more

Amazing chicken. Good, varied menu. Interesting and excellent sides and sauces. Service is good. You order at a counter and they bring it to your table. Ambiance is upscale industrial. A good gathering place for conversation. Not intimate or pretentious. A+, 5 stars, for what it is... and... they know who they are. Definitely worth a try. I'm sure you'll love it. read more

We stopped in on our way home to LV. There was zero AC and so hot to the point we couldn't enjoy the food. The service was mediocre . Got the half chicken and a quarter chicken all dry. Even the kids pulled chicken was dry . What a bummer. We won't be stopping here again. Save your money. The inside is nice but it was so hot. read more

This was our first visit (4 o'clock hour on a Monday in August) and it was a pleasant experience. We both ordered the Peruvian Fried Rice with pulled chicken. We barely sat down before it was brought out. We tried each of their 3 sauces - all were tasty but for an overall favorite, we both liked the green (medium heat) Huscatay sauce. Actually the rice was very tasty before adding a sauce. Just the chicken improved by adding the extra flavor of a sauce. As usual, a crowd follows us, so by the time we left, a crowd was rolling in. But we'll come back soon and try something new. read more

Gotta say, we went in with high expectations last night, but the meal even better here than we thought it would be! Attractive location, easy parking. I got the half chicken combo - sides were cilantro rice and canery beans. All fantastic. Loved the crispy skin on the chicken, and all three sauces from the sauce bar were excellent. My wife got the soup which she absolutely loved and I thought was very good as well. And we split a side of green beans - strong Asian flavor. Very nice. Great job, Viva!! read more

We thought we would try this place for a chicken meal. I don't eat much for lunch so I ordered the kids meal of white or dark chicken with side of fries or fruit and a drink. I also ordered this for my grandson whom is five. It was a perfect size for both of us. I ordered a white and a dark pieces of chicken for both of our meals. Your meal will be brought to the table. You throw way any food you don't want in a trash can. They clean the tables pretty fast after people have finished their meal. read more

Nice find thanks to Yelp! Fresh, savory food and clean restaurant! We have gone back 3 times during our Senior games stay.

First time trying this place and it was a good experience. Food came out quick, which was great. The place has a nice vibe and the bathrooms were clean! The food itself was really tasty. Definitely planning to come back to try some other dishes on their menu. read more

If I lived in the area, I'd be a regular at Viva Chicken. We tried the Caesar Wrap and the Tacu Bowl. The Caesar Wrap was tender and flavorful. The sweet potato fries were good but needed a bit more salt, in our opinion. The Tacu Bowl is really refreshing but the rice-to-topping ratio is way off. I'd absolutely ask for half the rice and still feel satisfied. The sauces are fun to try! We personally didn't think the spicy was spicy enough but it was delicious. Overall, we had a great first-timers experience. I'd definitely recommend trying Viva Chicken! read more

Visiting from Vegas and this was the number one recommended place to eat. I'm sorry but I don't get the hype. We ordered the Peruvian Fried Rice and the Steak Saltado with the fries on the side. Our food came out pretty quickly, and it tasted fine, but honestly nothing special. My husband was glad he got the fries on the side or the would have been just as soggy as the rice his came with. I did like that the fried rice has a slightly unique flavor from Thai or Japanese fried rice. read more

A year later we are back and the experience and food are as great as before! It's fast food... fresh. The Amarillo sauce is outstanding! I had the Viva Salad (again) which comes with just the right amount of delicious dressing, however, I couldn't resist dipping some pieces of chicken in the Amarillo sauce. Order at the counter service is always fast, friendly and efficient. Food is promptly delivered to your table. The restaurant is clean and comfortable in a hip, bright, colorful atmosphere. read more

Spending the night in St. George, on the way to Bryce and Zion, and popped into Viva chicken for dinner with the kiddos. For kids this is a great casual spot with fast service, affordable prices, huge portions, and, most importantly, delicious food! For 2 teens, 1 9 year old, and an adult we shared the lomo saltado (biggest hit must do), chicken tacu rice bowl (perfect mix of textures and flavors, daily special on Tuesdays), and the kids rotisserie chicken with rice. We got the passion fruit drink, and we tried all 3 sauces; mild, medium, and hot. My personal favorite was the medium sauce, which was green. We even had leftovers! I think that this would be very successful in California. read more

3.5 stars. Love that you can order ahead and pick up from without having to stand in the regular line. My husband ordered the Lomo Saltado wrap but it was really soggy so I wouldn't order a wrap or sandwich unless it's a menu item that isn't saucy or something you can eat right away. I really liked my Limena salad with the added shredded chicken. Was able to try both the yellow and green sauces. I liked both but probably the yellow sauce better. The limeade was very sweet. Overall, this is a decent fast casual spot and maybe somewhat healthier than the usual fast food fare. I don't think it hold a candle to other rotisserie chicken or Peruvian places I've been to but not a bad option either. read more

I've been here before in the past but I feel the quality has gone down. I had a half a chicken with beans and corn salad. Flavor was good on the salad and beans but the chicken was a bit dry, so I got all 3 sauces but I felt they weren't adding much too it. Could be because I got the breast and my husband took the dark meat which I never like, and that's why my side was a bit more dry. Anyway the portion was good enough for 2 so I only payed for one meal. read more

First time stopping by with the family and not sure what I am missing considering the great reviews this location has. I ordered the Inca wrap with chicken and yuca fries and everything was pretty bland where I had to use a generous amount of their sauces to add flavor. The table ordered - Chicken - which was very dry - Normal fries - which were nice and crispy - Corn salad - barely any corn and mostly edamame - Green Beans - pretty good The food came out fast, but when we asked staff for assistance they were not very warm to our group. I appreciate that they have a couple options of salsas to pick from and original juices that all tasted great. The space has plenty of indoor seating and everything was clean. Overall for the price I was expecting better quality, with that said it might have been an off day, but considering that the chicken was very dry and no flavor I would not return. read more

Such good food! Service was fast, we were a group of 11. We will definitely come back while we are in town.

Cold chicken, stale rice, and definitely not fresh like they advertise. Really disappointing, especially when a restaurant makes freshness part of its pitch. The food tasted like it had been sitting around rather than freshly prepared. read more

The food here was very fresh! I loved all the different sauces you could have, the yellow one I think was my favorite. Not the cheapest thing in the world, but definitely worth the fresh ingredients. The food came out pretty quick and luckily they were large tables for our large group. read more

Great food and service! We love the chicken and the fried rice. We try to go weekly! It is great for takeout.

Ok so I always thought this place was a local restaurant but I had to do some research after I saw some people in my hotel wearing Viva Chicken shirts. I will still claim it's not a chain as this location is the only one west of the Mississippi River. Anyway, this place offers rotisserie chicken that has Peruvian spices and some fantastic dipping sauces for the chicken. I got the quarter chicken (all white meat) with corn salad and green beans. I signed up for their loyalty program and received a free passion fruit drink. The corn salad has corn, tomatoes, onions, and another kind of bean with some cheese. It was rather tasty and I would recommend. The green beans are cooked with some spices that make them very delicious. As I mentioned they also have sauces to dip the chicken into. They have three different kinds. A mild yellow one (which is bland), a hot red one (has good heat but low on flavor) , and my favorite the middle green one (this one has the right amount of heat as well as a great blend of flavors!!) Come check out Viva Chicken and enjoy some great chicken!! read more

Viva Chicken was fantastic! We ordered the 1/4 chicken (all dark meat) with plantains and Peruvian corn salad, the Andina Power Food Salad with hand-pulled chicken, and a Maracuya (mango passion fruit) drink. The chicken was some of the best I've had--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The Andina salad was refreshing, but we regretted adding the chicken since it came out a bit dry and didn't really enhance the dish, contrary to what some other reviewers had suggested. The sides were a mixed experience: the plantains were caramelized to perfection (a must-order!), while the Peruvian corn salad was less impressive. In hindsight, the beans might have been a better choice. The space was clean and welcoming, it was easy to find a table, and the staff was very friendly. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely be back! read more

Fantastic casual Peruvian. Chicken soup was super flavorful and chalky full of chicken and veggies (not spicy). The chicken was sort juicy and flavorful and the sauces complemented perfectly. The yucca fries were the best I've ever had. The beans were just okay. Not much flavor. Very affordable and friendly service. Would frequent if I lived here. read more

This place had been hyped up by friends of ours for quite some time. It's certainly good food, but I'm not sure it's a must-go. The wing and leg of the chicken were cooked well, seasoned great, but the breast was bone dry. Plantains were also good, but not outstanding, fried rice wasn't quite flavorful enough... it seemed like everything disappointed just a hair. The service was outstanding: friendly and especially fast. read more

A St. George Staple. Food is always great. Facility is clean as there are people constantly cleaning tables and dish bins. The sauces slap. They have them out now so you don't have to go up and as for more sauce. I will say, the pictures don't line up with the photos on the sides menu. We got the half chicken with two sides: yuca and canary beans. We thought the beans were the ones shown in the picture next to it. They were not. read more

Everything here is tasty and efficient. My second visit but I'm sure I'll be back as it's easy access off the highway and quick service. Tastier than most roasted chicken and pairs well with the cilantro rice. It's really the sauces that shine. I love the green sauce but all 3 are tasty so we bought a bottle to take home. Don't forget to try a juice as all of them are good! The staff person at the counter was very friendly. read more

Amazing chicken place we stumbled into. Better than any rotisserie chicken i've eve had. Couldn't believe how packed it was on a Sunday afternoon! What-were we in for? Amazing chicken wraps! read more

Was hoping for a home run but it ended up being just ok. We ordered the whole chicken with 3 sides. Chicken was flavorful. The sides unfortunately failed short. The pinto like beans were really watery and bland. The corn salad was mostly edamame- where's the corn / maíz? And the fried rice was overly hyped. It was just ok Maybe we ordered the wrong sides? Still the sides should have enhanced the meal. It didn't. Staff was nice but looks like they're not able to make recommendations regarding the menu. If I were to come through St George again I might stop by. read more

Great food for the value. We wanted something quick yet didn't feel like fast food. This hit the spot.

If you are coming from Vegas towards Salt lake and looking for lunch places, this is it. The food here is really good. We ordered chicken burrito, a limero chopped salad and half a chicken which came with cilantro rice and fries. We also ordered sweet potato fries which were really amazing. If you are looking for a side of your dish, do opt for sweet potato fries. The only disappointment was the rotessrie chicken which almost feels like the one sold at Costco. Special mention to the sauces. They are amazing and doesn't taste like your usual hot sauces.i also loved the mint lemonade. Its refreshing. A special shoutout to the staff there, how I wish I asked for his name. I asked him a favour of cutting up the avocado which I got from come for my 10 month old kid, not only did he cut it up but placed it is a bowl of lettuce. Atmosphere is really lively. read more

The beef saltado was underwhelming. Very bland. I asked for my order 'to go,' and waited till it was ready so I could eat it in my car. From the counter to my car somehow it got soggy. The venue is very clean and modern. Cool artwork. Got my kids the fried rice. That's good. Very bland. Peruvian is usually very tasty foods so I was excited to try dishes I always order. This place looks better than it taste. read more

My friend told me about this place and we stopped here for a quick dinner on a Sunday night about half an hour to their closing time. It was very close to our hotel so that was very convenient. Seemed like lots of people rushed in last minute for take-outs also. We were so glad we stopped here. Food was delish and quick. Their chicken was so flavorful. Steak was good and oh my gwad have you tried their green beans??? It is soooo yummy! Highly recommend! read more

4.5 stars! Great spot for Peruvian style rotisserie chicken. We came here on a Friday afternoon for lunch on our way to Bryce and I'm so glad we stopped by! They have a limited menu, which is great because that means they can do a few things very well. You order at the counter, get an order number and find a seat. The service is super quick. My husband went to the restroom and by the time he was back 5 minutes later, the food was already at the table. We ordered the Peruvian half chicken with fried plantains and purple corn salad, and the tacu bowl without chicken. We also got the chica morada juice. The food was excellent! The chicken was cooked to perfection and it was actually quite a bit, so we ended up eating it by itself and with the tacu bowl. They have 3 sauces available - a sweeter amarillo based one, a savory cilantro/huacatay based one and a spicy rocoto pepper based one. I liked the latter two and my husband liked the first and the third one. The fried plantains were very good - not overtly sweet, not overtly chewy. The corn salad was very interesting! We haven't had purple corn before but basically, it is much bigger corn than usual. The salad had a mix of blue cheese, beans, onions, etc and it was delicious. The tacu bowl was also very good but it definitely needed a little more seasoning. Once we added the chicken and the sauces, it was perfect. We ended up taking 1/4 of the chicken and about half the tacu bowl as leftovers. When we ate it the next day, it was excellent! The chica morada tasted like a spiced cider. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Our price tag was less than $30 for two people and it was great food. We highly recommend coming here if you plan to be in St. George! read more

Great stop in St. George when on the way to Zion NP. Order the food before seated, and you will be given an order number and food will be delivered. Inside design and layout is really convenient for self service -- utensils, drinks and to go boxes. We ordered the family whole chicken meal, chicken is really juicy and flavorful, especially the three sauces: yellow , green ( my favorite) and red ( spicy but doable) . The sauce goes well with chicken also fries . Also like its plantains, so fresh sweet. The soup is different, kids does not appreciate the cilantro tastes but I enjoyed it, like the Haywood tastes and textures. For the salad, I think it is good but not my kind. The highlights are the sauces, French fries and plantains-- must have. Make sure to clean after yourself , good and tasty fast food place for friends and family. Recommended. read more

Great food. I always feeling good. Not heavy and bloated. I really like the bowl. The chicken is dynamite.

Great service and food! We always stop by Viva Chicken for lunch whenever we're in St. George. The family meal is our go-to--it comes with a whole chicken and three sides at a great price. The chicken is consistently delicious--juicy, flavorful, and tender. The plantains are my favorite side, and the sauces are great too. The yellow (aji) is mild, the green (huacatay) is medium, and the red (rocoto) is spicy--but not too hot. The medium sauce is the best and my absolute favorite! In terms of other sides, we always order the sweet potato fries and this time tried the Peruvian corn salad, which is like a pico de gallo with large, non-sweet corn kernels and edamame--refreshing but different if you're not used to it. Skip it if you don't like feta cheese. The yucca fries (not a yucca person, too starchy) and cilantro rice (which is dry and includes peas and carrots) are also not something I'd go for again. I'd also advise to skip the Naked Peruvian Wrap--it's dry and vegetarian, though you can add protein. Opt for the Inca Burrito instead. The bathrooms are clean, and the restaurant has a self-serve setup for utensils, drinks, and to-go containers. You order at the front cashier. They also have a rewards program which is worth signing up for if you go here enough. read more

My experience was very disappointing. The customer service was poor from the moment I placed my order until my food was served. The cashier was unfriendly, and the person who brought out the food also seemed uninterested and unprofessional. Good customer service makes a big difference, but unfortunately that was not the case today. I hope they improve the way they treat their customers. read more

3.8 Having a good friend whose family opened up many Peruvian restaurants in CA, I absolutely love Peruvian food. So, as we were driving through St. George back to Vegas, we made a stop for dinner. Casual and clean, easy to order at counter, with food brought to your table when ready. I ordered the half chicken and my choice of two sides were the plantains and green beans. Presentation looked great, but I was unfortunately very underwhelmed with the dish. The rotisserie chicken lacked the flavors that I was used to, the plantains were too charred for my liking, and the green beans were inedible. The beans were topped with some kind of sauce that was soooo salty, I couldn't eat them. I should have notified the kitchen.... The Inca burrito was ok, contained more of the fillers, rather than chicken. The sweet potato fries were nice and crispy. The chicken sandwich was ok as well. Good but not standout. Overall ok. read more
