This was a good chicken sandwhich spot inside Mekong supermarket food court. We tried their Meat-Lover Crispy Chicken sandwhich (bonus points bc their chicken is halal) It was soo good. I liked how the chicken was not dry at all- it was crispy, flavorful, and super juicy. It came as advertised - two chicken and no buns. The combo deal came with fries and a beverage drink. Those fries came out hot and crispy. We both really liked it. The sandwhich was very filling and definitely a place we could come back to. Next time, we probably will try the sandwhich with buns. Service was very quick. We placed an order through the self checkout kiosk and came out within 10 minutes. There is a bunch of seating at the food court tables. A variety of free condiment sauces are available at the counter. Definitely recommend this chicken sandwhich spot! read more

Zhengxin Chicken Steak - Meat-Lover Crispy Chicken Sandwich (Halal) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Craving some chicken, stopped by one of my favorite areas on Dobson, and ran into this place! So many options. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich (non spicy) with a mandatory side of potato salad. I also went for the curry katsu rice bowl. The chicken sandwich wasn't bad, I wasn't like "Omg" but it was good. I had it down before getting out of the parking lot. I was really looking forward to the curry katsu rice bowl. It wasn't bad, but the curry had way too much salt in it! Way too much salt! I'd come back, hoping they lessen the amount of salt they put in the curry. Not a bad place! read more

Q: How are chicken sandwiches hitting the gym? A: By performing some bread-lifts! Zengxin Chicken Steak knows how to do chicken right! I tried both the crispy chicken sandwich and the spicy chicken sandwich, and let me tell you, these sandwiches are huge with equally big flavors. The crispy one had that satisfying crunch with juicy chicken inside, while the spicy version brought the heat without overpowering the taste. Ordering was super easy with the self-serve kiosk (no stress, no long wait), and the food came out fresh and hot. It's clear they don't skimp on portion size or flavor. It's definitely not your average fast-food chicken. If you're craving something hearty and packed with flavor, this spot delivers. A solid go-to for when you want big chicken done right. read more

This place is SO good. As a certified chicken and especially fried chicken lover I always run into the issue of feeling so heavy and tired after devouring a sandwich, but at Zhengxin the chicken has the crunch, the FLAVOR and is not doused in oil to make that happen. I definitely recommend getting the chicken spicy, it makes the flavor just exquisite. The staff their is absolutely amazing, and it is located in the coolest shopping plaza, every time we go there we try to save room to try out some boba or rolled ice cream and we never can because the chicken is just that good. read more

Best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time! Zhengxin Chicken Steak is located inside the Mekong food court, just past Happy Bao's but before Dim Sum. I ordered on the kiosk which was easy. They send you a confirmation text when it goes through. I did the Spicy chicken sandwich, fries, and canned coke combo which was $11- on par for fast food. The sandwich on its own was $7. It took less than 10 minutes. There are sides of ketchup, honey mustard, ranch, and sweet chili sauce available. The brioche bun was soft and pillowy. The chicken was not spicy, disappointingly, despite the dusting of red spices. It was no spicier than a McChicken. It was crisp, fried, and juicy. It was also a generous portion of chicken. The ranch and honey mustard were good, they tasted like they were made in house. I really like the sweet chili dip! Definitely will return! read more

Do you remember that 90's commercial where it goes, "I feel like Chicken Tonight. Like Chicken Tonight!"? My parents never made me Chicken Tonight, so I have no idea what it is, but if it's like Zhengxin Chicken Steak, I missed out for sure. We had been wanting to stop off at this food court counter for a minute now, but there's so many good eateries in the near vicinity. Our taste test kept getting pushed back. After a Saturday morning cycle class and a quick coffee break, we wandered off to get an original chicken sandwich and a spicy chicken sandwich to go. We definitely ate and drank back our calories burned, but no regrets. It was some good chicken! It was crispy and flavorful, and we enjoyed ourselves. I do suggest getting the spicy chicken sandwich over the original, though. Come here and support this chicken place. It'll have you clucking for more. read more

I'm really impressed! First time trying this place last week and we already came back for seconds. Their popcorn chicken was a hit with the kids. Nice big pieces and large portion for the price ($6.50 now). I did notice within a week the price has gone up by 50 cents which sucks but still a good price for the portion size. I decided to try their spicy sandwich on the second visit. Not really that spicy, just a slight kick. I feel like for the same price, the popcorn chicken is a better deal. Can't wait to try other items but so far I really like this place. Glad that you can order on kiosk and food comes out really quick. Perfect place for a quick bite. read more

This chicken was insanely delicious, I really enjoyed what I got. I got the popcorn chicken, with the crispy chicken sandwich meal, with a Fanta soda and fries. The chicken was so crispy, the crunching sound was extremely loud. So loud people next to me said: " sir we get bothered by noise we're noise experts" so then I moved but they kept scooting they're chairs closer to the table until I finally noticed they had moved directly next to me, so when I asked: " why did you move?" He screamed at me and said:" I'm an expertise on decibels i know the chicken is crunchy." Then I said: " yeah I know, it's very crunchy." And he said: " no you don't know it's crunchy I do, I know the crunchiness, I study sound." Then I said: " ok yeah you know." And he said: " yeah I do, I'm an entrepreneur my job is sound. I'm an expert." I was supper confused, so I just enjoyed my food. The survive was great, got the food given to me, yummy food, and the vibe was alright except for the guy that's obsessed with sound, stay away from him if you see him, he'll make stuff sound extra loud if he hears something kinda loud next to him, and he'll pretend you don't know about sound. read more

I swear I don't have it in for this place. The experience was just THAT bad. The food is just decent. We drove almost an hour to try this place and specifically the big chicken steak. First impressions we're bad. As we approached we thought they were closed. The "menu" monitor was off and there was no one at the counter. It's Christmas eve so I thought they didn't bother opening. Upon closer inspection we saw two employees sitting behind the counter in puffy lounge chairs, tapping away on their phones. Strike 1. You order via a tablet kiosk. Ordering was easy but the chicken steak was not on the menu. I asked about it and they said they've only recently opened and they have not received any yet. Huh? So was the 2nd reviewer a paid marketing shill? He has a photo of one? Strike 2. We ordered a side of spicy popcorn chicken and a bucket of wings. The wing showed pictured with a can of Pepsi. I like Pepsi. They don't have Pepsi products. They have Coke products. Even the drink menu has a photo of a can of Pepsi but the caption underneath reads COKE. Huh. This is a franchise, right? Are they violating their contact obligations? Strike 3. Time to pay. The irritating tip screen came up. This is fast food that I ordered on a tablet, will pick up at the counter, and have to dispense my own dipping sauces. Sheesh. Time to eat! The spicy popcon chicken was tasty. Not too spicy but got hotter as we ate more. It also wasn't dried out. The wings were big and juicy, but lacked flavor. I guess that's why they offer the dipping sauce. The sauces come in these tiny and shallow cups. The wings are so big you're challenged to actually dip it. We poured the sauce onto the wings instead. The batter is extremely light and crumbled as we ate. It almost seemed like the chicken was skinless and the batter had nothing to adhere to. I bet these wings would be awesome if we ordered them as spicy. The takeaway for me is low expectations. I always give a place two tries. Next time I'll get the nugget bucket so I can actually dip them. I'll also try one of their chicken sandwiches with fries AND bring my own Pepsi. read more

FINALLY!!! I found my favorite chicken burger place!! Being from Cali it's hard to find substitutes sometimes. I prefer Chinese fried chicken over American. This is because it has similar crispness to Korean fried chicken, but without the sweet gochujang and soy garlic flavors that Koreans love. Chinese fried chicken is usually crispier than American fried chicken with similar Cajun spices, and this taste better than Popeyes in my opinion. read more

Honestly wish I took more pictures but too much grease on my hands. The chicken here was crispy but all it had was batter. These are fried 90% batter 10% chicken. I legit was just eating the batter the whole time and couldn't even finish the entire meal because it tasted very mediocre with a ton of batter. Fries were good but they legit gave waffle fries, a thinner crispy fry, and then a fluffy potato? Older guy up front is not approachable but the younger guy was doing his best and provided good service. The place is located inside of mekong and has rotated stores there for a minute now. read more

Heard about this place recently so I wanted try it out. Ordered the chicken burger and it was so so good. It was honestly huge for $6 and absolutely a bargain. The chicken was tender inside with a crispy batter outside. This was real quality chicken and not a pre made patty. You can taste the quality of each ingredient. Definitely the best chicken burger I have had in recent memory. read more

Food was excellent. It has that slight spicy Taiwanese popcorn chicken flavor but on massive pieces of tender chicken. The huge half fried chicken is absolutely picture worthy. All the food was well cooked and tasty. The wait time was a bit as they're still going through soft opening and learning the ropes. But worth the wait! read more

i got the regular crispy chicken sandwich and my boyfriend got the spicy, they were both great! juicy, crunchy, the perfect chicken sandwich! possibly one of the best chicken sandwiches i've ever had! the lady working there was incredibly kind, though you do have to use the kiosks to put your order in, they're super easy to use and i don't mind having to use it. the only issue i've had is sometimes they close early and it's hard to know when they closed since the hours say they're the same every day, but assuming it's a family business, it's fine. just makes me sad i miss out on some delicious chicken! read more

Zhengxin Chicken Steak - regular A - Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Wings Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised. I picked up an order 2 piece spicy wings just to try them out. Less than $4. Unexpectedly large wings and delicious. The breading has a similar taste to taiwanese popcorn chicken with five spice and cumin flavors. The spicy powder is where it's at - similar to what you'd get on Chinese lamb skewers. It did take about 20 minutes to get the order but the chicken was fresh and piping hot. I'll definitely be back and would recommend it for those looking for an affordable and delectable lunch. read more

Went to break my fast with some friends for ramadan. Like the reviews said I went in with no excpectations, but was BLOWN away. The spicy flavor is actually a good spicy and had flavor, as the seasoning on and whatever marinade used on the chicken definitely did its job because as a Desi the flavors were incredible. The size portions are ridiculous, I mean they are insane. They sell two wings for 3 ish dollars and you'd think that it would be a rip off but these wings are straight pre historic pterodactyl wings like, they are massive. My friend ordered the 15.99 bucket that had 10 wings and fries and I kid you not they literally had to scotch tape the lid on because it was overflowing. We were all fasting and none of us could finish our meals (and I'm a pretty big guy". The nuggets and regular fries were okay, nothing crazy but the sweet potato fries were chefs kiss. The chicken sandwich is perfect if you got the jaws of a snake, otherwise be prepared to smush the sandwich a little because it is massive, and the crunch was really good. The service was very nice, the lady at the front brought all the food to our table and updated us every couple minute or so when our orders were almost done. Oh and, yes, it is zabiha halal everything on the menu, I believe they use the halal chicken from resteraunt depot because it is very similar in size and taste to the ones I've had before. read more

I got both the spicy and cumin flavored popcorn chicken. Two bags full of breading. Absolutely no chicken bites. Also both were flavorless. The spicy was not spicy at all and the cumin had a bit of favor but not enough to justify. read more
