Excellent food. Fast, friendly service. My only complaint is that you don't have any locations in Vegas where I live.

Ordered takeout so review is on food quality only. I ordered the green goddess salad with extra nuggets on the side. Loved that I could order 4 nuggets which was the right amount to add. Overall the food was really filling and I liked having the chicken in the salad and separate. The bad was the chicken. I had heard amazing things about their chicken but it really disappointed. The chicken was dry and the batter was pretty thick and not tasty. Without any sauce it was bad. The truffle aioli redeemed the chicken a little but not enough.

It's okay. Not my favorite, but not bad. Parking lot is awful though, so I don't bother getting food here except delivery. I've seen people park in the adjacent lot and walk over, which is probably less of a hassle than trying to park in the tiny spots.The fries are better than expected.Update: after a few years, this place has grown on me. They've improved their menu a lot too. A solid "Sunday chicken spot" as a fallback when the real thing is closed.

We came on a Saturday and lucky there weren't a lot of people and there was no line. They also had 2 order kiosks.We got the truffle fries and the 8pc wings dry BBQ rub/buffaloI loved the buffalo flavor, not much for the dry BBQ rub.Chicken was goodThe truffle fries were ? freshly cooked and lots of garlic and nice truffle flavor. Amped it up with the truffle mayo.The sauces were super yummy and will definitely come back again.Highly recommend

Their thai salad with crispy chicken is sooo good. We ordered there twice on the app and the food was ready really fast.

I was very impressed with my first Starbird chicken experience! It has intrigued me since I laid eyes on the location at SFO terminal 1. I finally got to try it for work and apparently it's a bigger chain restaurant. I ordered my food through the online ordering website which was user friendly. There are pictures of all the foods with a proper description of each food. They even let you choose sides and substitute the sauces if you want. The menu ranges from tenders, nuggets, salads and wings. I ended up ordering the Nashville hot tender box that included fries and slaw. You could upgrade the regular fries to truffle cheese I think, and sub out the slaw. The Nashville dry seasoning ended up being really good! It had a mild lemony-tangy taste that I liked. Reminded me of flaming limon hot Cheetos LOL. My coworker didn't like the tangy taste so probably don't order this flavor if you don't too. The Greek yogurt ranch was a nice dip for my chicken tenders. The tenders themselves are substantial and do not taste dry at all. We also ordered the banh mi fries and they were flavored nothing like banh mi. It just had some "asian" sauces and green onion toppings. Probably won't get that next time.

Great place to get a chicken sandwich, salad, or strips. Fries are very on point. A bit of a wait at peak times...worth it tho....

Food is pretty good and it seems pretty healthy. 5 stars because they give a lot of guac in the salad

This Starbird Chicken is a standalone shop on a busy street and it seems to be a smaller location compared to the other ones I had been to. They do have a small private parking lot though, so it is convenient. I came on a weekday afternoon, so there was plenty of parking. The employees were friendly and helpful as well. I came here to try their new Banh Mi lineup. I tried their Banh Mi Sandwich, Banh Mi Chicken Salad, Loaded Banh Mi Tender Box, Sweet & Sticky Vietnamese Wings, and Loaded Banh Mi Fries. For drinks, I got their Pineapple Lemonade and Thai Iced Tea. These new Banh Mi items were delicious with a lot of flavor. My favorites were definitely the Sweet & Sticky Vietnamese Wings, Loaded Banh Mi Fries, and Thai Tea. The Banh Mi Sandwich consisted of crispy chicken, Sriracha aioli, classic slaw, cucumber, jalapeño, pickled carrots and daikon, hoisin aioli, and Asian herb mix. The Banh Mi Chicken Salad consisted of crispy hoisin glazed chicken, romaine cabbage blend, cucumber, pickled carrots and daikon, jalapeño, crispy rice noodles, crispy shallots, Asian herb mix, and sweet chili vinaigrette. The Loaded Banh Mi Tender Box consisted of 3 crispy tenders, hoisin & Sriracha aioli drizzle, Asian herb mix, and crispy shallots. The Sweet & Sticky Vietnamese Wings consisted of crispy bone-in wings, hoisin & Sriracha aioli drizzle, Asian herb mix, and crispy shallots. The Loaded Banh Mi Fries consisted of seasoned fries, hoisin & Sriracha aioli drizzle, Asian herb mix, and crispy shallots.

They have kiosk where you can order food but those kiosk don’t accept coupons and if you go to the cashier, they don’t accept Apple Pay. Parking is extremely tight as well.
