We got the half and half with the honey garlic. Marinade was tasty and chicken was really juicy! The skin was very crispy, not too oily and food came out piping hot and fresh. Servers were courteous as well!

My daughter craved for fried chicken that noon so we stopped by the rice chicken. The food was prepared immediately and served hot. I ordered Mild boneless chicken for my daughter, which is the only option on the kids' menu. She loved it. It is a generous size for a kids entrée. A lot of chicken bites, crispy and tasty. Fries are good as well. I had the Item 1a on the menu original fried drumsticks and thighs 10pc which is only $19.99 for Tuesday special. It's marked as spicy but actually very mild. Pieces are big and heavy, especially the drumsticks are significantly larger than Popeye's. I ate two pieces and already full. The fried rice skin of the chicken is also crispy. Will try other options on the menu next time.

We've had this rice chicken place a few times now and the crispy texture of the chicken is our favorite in San Diego. Light and crunchy without being oily. Chicken is very juicy and big. Our only wish is that the sauces would step it up a notch to compete with the other Korean chicken flavors.

The honey garlic chicken was delicious, everything was so crispy, and the service was fast and they were very nice. They were able to seat our group of 7 right away. Definitely will be returning!

Underrated! Love the food and the service. I loved everything I got here except the boneless chicken dishes. They were a bit dry for me but the flavors were amazing! I keep going back for their wings with sweet and spicy sauce. Yummm!!! Definitely a hit

Rice chicken is good, a bit more on pricey side. Crispy and doesn't feel as heavy as typical fried chicken due to the rice flour. I'd recommend this place as there's not much Korean fried chicken north of here.

I love going into Rice Chicken..they are always so welcoming and kind, and I can always count on them to help me feed however many are at my house when I’m done with work. And everything is really good! The chicken they use is always fresh, nice pieces, perfectly spiced and cooked. We’ve gotten both the roasted and fried, and tried all the sauces. The volcano and honey garlic are the faves. Customer service is excellent, I can stop by or call from the road, and it’s always ready when expected. They have been vigilant following Covid protocol, and their store is very clean. They recently began indoor dining as well. On Monday and Tuesday they have specials, big portions which make for great leftovers the next day. This is one of the most popular restaurants I deliver for and with good reason. I can confidently recommend!

Ok I promise one day Ill try something other then the fried chicken sandwiches its just that theyre pretty fricken good. I did try one with baked chicken today and it was just as delicious! The cole slaw in it isnt super mayo-y (its tangy just not overdone with mayo, so I can pretend I'm eating healthy 😅). Also- it doesnt taste like cabbage but lettuce (not as crunchy). It says the pickles in the sandwich are sweet but theyre ... not. Not an issue, just a personal preference. The battered fried chicken is amazing too, nice little kick to them but not burn-your-mouth spicy. Ive tried the honey garlic (can barely taste it), and the sweet and spicy- both times ot seems like there's very little sauce on them. If only the additional sauces weren't $2 extra I could adequately sauce my sandwich :( (srsly thats too much for a tiny cup o sauce). The fries are crunchy and when they deliver them they leave flaps open so nothing geta soggy (a plus). They do seem a little expensive and I'm still trying to decide if $13 for a chicken sandwich and fries is worth it.
