#1 Chicken Rice & Seafood

This place saved us lots of money on food. More value for money. The portion & the taste are so good for under $10 food. The server also remembered what I ordered the day before. Oh, did I mention the fried rice?

Tried this place for the first time based off of the reviews from co workers, I enjoyed the food. I can tell that the chicken wings are brined based off of the tenderness, it also has a slight kick of cayenne pepper on the back end of the flavor profile. The rice has a nice flavor as well, I’m from Illinois where I am not accustomed to peas and carrots being in fried rice so that would be my only take away, the rice also had bits of chicken in it, a little on the dry side but okay. It comes with a standard roll which I did toss but it appeared to be moist. Total came out to $10.81 for 6 wings and rice. I’ll give it 4 stars.

This place is just as it is pictured. Go in, pick up and go. There is no seating. I enjoyed the food, though I think the chicken sat under a heat lamp for some time. Prices were fair. Cashier was friendly and efficient. Will have to go back to make a final decision.

Havent Been Here In A While, Although I Pass It Up Daily On My Commute Home. I Called In My Order. Chicken Was Fresh! Shrimp & Fish Was Nice & Crunchy. Please Take Note Of The Prices, In Which I Wasn’t Aware Of The Change Since I Last Been. Everything Was Good.

Oh those chicken wings still good after all these years! But they have a bunch of flies in the front ...I watch to see if any was back in the food area...it wasnt So I guess that crab trap food truck parked on the other side of the fence could be the issue...Anyway I was thinking they were closed after all these years...but they need to take plastic!!

I was told by 2 different people to stop by here to pick up well seasoned fried chicken. They did not disappoint! The rice was also delicious. The parking is limited and it is definitely pick up and go establishment.

It's in the hood . So u can definitely expect hood activities. It wasn't bad or anything food wise. I had a 6pc and fries with roll 13 bucks. Working downtown in my area notany available choices of quick food that's affordable. It was pretty quick getting my food. But tbh I'd eat it again. But definitely needs ranch for fries😉and salt

Was looking for some good chicken wings. Found this location through yelp. The chicken looked exactly like the photos on here. Ordered spicy. Not sure if it was any different from regular because they tasted regular to me. they were krispy like popeyes wings. The food came out in about 3 mins flat. I collected my bag and was on my way. It's a very small place. Basically for you to pick up your food, or order it and go.

As a Houstonian foodie, this place is complete trash! This was my first and last time spending money and time at this whole in the wall of a "restaurant". Initially, I the noticed a very disgusting dust-filled fan, which threw me off. After receiving my order of unseasoned chicken wings and an assortment of "shrimp fried rice" I was disappointed!! Please people, eat here if you want to be let down and disappointed - this place is trash

Best. Chicken. In. Houston. And I stand by that 100%. Chicken wings are always crispy, flavorful and keeps you wanting more. Make sure to bring cash.

Make sure you check your receipt before leaving. I ordered 3p wings roll and shrimp fried rice, i was informed of the up charge for the shrimp. 3.75 for little baby hot pink shrimp. Once i paid and got to my car i thought about the total and it felt like i was way to much even with up charge. Oh yea cause i was charged for a 5p with shrimp rice. ANDDD a whole other order of just wings labeled as MISC on the ticket. I didn't ask for this but was charged for it. And they make sure to but no refunds on the receipt so once you make it out the building it's nothing you can do. That's just that the food dosnt even make it okay that you got extra everything lacks flavor. For this to be an older spot and five min from an HBCU they need to work on spices. I feel scammed for lower the mid grade food. Walked away spending twice as much as i should've being charged for items i didn't order then saying no refunds no expectations. I didn't ask for this but i charged me for it. You don't get a receipt till after u pay so u don't even know what you charged for just a number amount.

It's been the same way for last 30 years. Happy they still consistent these many years later. Something about that triple crispy, lightly seasoned chicken wings that has it in business this long. Service is cool. It will take some time as they usually business but order is mostly always accurate. Will return for more soon.

So this is a little hole in the wall spot. Bars on the window type vibe but don't be intimidated chicken is hot and crunchy. I got spicy wing and some fried rice. The plate is HEAVY.. definitely got some weight to it and for a good price. I got spicy but it could've been spicier if I'm being honest or I maybe should've gotten a pepper that would've hit the spot. The rice reminds me of the old Timmy Chans style rice back in the day when it was good. So overall I had a really affordable plate that was definitely filling and the chicken was hot and fresh. I'd come again if I'm around.

This will be my 18th year or so that I visit. I used to visit more often when I worked nearby. But whenever I am in the medical center or off of 288 I have to stop. You can call ahead and it's never more then 6-10 min for pick up. The food is good/ the price is good and the kitchen is dated but clean. I think it's the owner's son that runs it now. They have plenty of cold drinks to pick from. Ask for the condiments and they never stingy on them just ask.

No taste. Period. Rice didn't even taste good after we added soy sauce and the chicken was so basic I definitely would have made better at home but I didn't feel like it and to then go and eat this smh money could have went to chipotle lol and I don't even like they food!

Service is whatever, but the food makes up for it. We ordered the 3 piece chicken and 1fish 3 shrimp meal which was ready pretty quickly! The only con to this place is that they only take cash. It's 2021, it's time to take credit cards/ Apple Pay.

Their wings got a lot smaller! Or maybe it was the time (6:30 pm) of the day I went? Regardless, I doubt I'll be back. And it's too bad because I ate there all the time when I worked downtown (25 years). The next time I want wings, it'll be Timmy Chans.

I haven't been here in years, and today 5/15 this is what I get. What a disappointment!! A whole chicken nails and feathers in it. Please clean your chicken thoroughly before serving it to customers.

They got it right! Great wings and fries every time!!! Please be sure to bring cash - it's all they accept.

Premier with zero frills and an institution for fried chicken in Houston for many years.

Best chicken wings in Houston. Bar none. There is no dine in option. Not a great part of town. Get your chicken and go.

The food is great but the service is bad, one day I went it was too young ladies serving and cursing acting stupid and the Asian manager act like he was scared to say anything to them. When it was time for me to order, the black lady ask me what do you want ? With a mean look. I asked her is this a food place? Because I want to order something to eat. I must have made her mad because she walked away without taking my order. the people in the restaurant started laughing at her. People started walking out the restaurant saying the Asian manager can't even managed his own workers.

The service is fast and friendly, but the food is nothing to rave about. The spicy chicken wings are just okay. The texture is spot on, they're crispy and juicy. There's no flavor or seasoning. I didn't taste any type of spice or spec of anything. The fries are nothing special.

Simple and Sweet They are a mom and pop shop doing fried chicken really well! I didn't feel like waiting so I phoned my order in and got a 3 piece chicken dinner with fried rice and a fish burger. Everything was really good. All of this came in at about $9.50 which is quite affordable considering how much food you get. The fried chicken was moist and seasoned beautifully. The skin is quite crunchy and not too greasy. The fried rice is good but somewhat bland. I would recommend adding soy sauce or salt to it. The fish burger was also good but some additional tartar sauce would have been appreciated. This place is somewhat hood but it's alright. The staff are there to get you in and out so don't go expecting a huge welcome party with smiles on their faces. The place smells like fried chicken grease and you'll probably smell like it too after setting foot in there. Last tip is CASH ONLY, no card. Would come back!

Chicken is cooked to order and always hot!! I strongly suggest calling your order in so it's ready when you get there. They only take cash. No credit cards!!

Crunchiest Fried Chicken in hot, plentiful servings, accompanied by fresh bread rolls. Fried trout was served with fried rice, salad and rolls. The main dishes were perfectly fried and still hot when we arrived at home. Recommend ordering in advance for pickup. Got to try the pork chops next time.

Let me say this ... THIS CHICKEN IS SLAPPING . Especially if you go early when they first open. & Good customer service. I posted a pic of there menu new prices .

Excellent chicken! We found this place , last Friday after leaning another establishment that had too long of a line. We pulled up to a small place with a sign that let me k ow We we're at a down home fried chicken place. There was no eat in area but the line moved quickly.the chicken was flavourful and very crispy. I wished we'd ordered more.

This ain't it folks. Not for me. If you are hungry and just need something real quick then it might be for you but I didn't like the wealthy or the flavor of the food. I was really disappointed. But I think it's just not my style. Really americanized chinese food without a hint of Chinese flavor.

The fried rice lacks flavor. Not what it was before. The fried chicken is tender and juice and NO flavor. Putting ketchup on the chicken does not count as flavor.

Good food at decent prices. I was looking for a fried chicken place and didn't want to wait in line at Frenchy's. This place sells fried chicken and also other items like burgers and fried rice. The fried chicken was fresh and crispy, but it was a little bland. I may order it again in the future to give them another shot, but so far, Frenchy's is still my favorite. Their double meat burger combo was really good and a decent price for $6.99. I'm definitely going to frequent this place more often to get the burger. I had to take off one star for the bland chicken and that the cashier was clueless when I asked whether the burger was a 1/4 lb burger. It's crazy to me when a restaurant doesn't know the size of their burger patties. It makes all the difference in a burger (I made the mistake of ordering a double meat burger at Jax Grill once, and their patties are 1/2 lb each). All in all, I'm glad I tried this place out. Call ahead and order to reduce your wait time.

The wings are consistently delicious, hot and fresh. For the most part I always order the 5 wings with either fries or fried rice and can pop for $7.99. This is such a reasonable price. Twice, the crinkle fries were perfect. The last time, the fries were some of the worst fries i have had. I gather that they don't always stick with the same brand...too bad, because I love crinkle cut fries . The fried rice is good, just wish that it did not have chicken in it, but that is okay...I just pick the chicken out. My recent visit I decided to try the pork chop because the pics look tasty. I will say that it was pretty good, but I would recommend that if ever you order, to order at least two because it does not have a lot of meat...it is half bone.. I tried the sweet potato pie, and it was very good. All in all, this is my go-to place for fried wings...hope that they get some better crinkle cut fries, and stick with them. Oh, I forgot...the egg roll was also good.

TO GO ONLY / CASH ONLY My first impression of the establishment wasn't the best. Walking to the door there was a man laying on the ground just chilling. It was 6pm on a Tuesday, I couldn't tell if he was intoxicated or he was so consumed by the delicious smell and just decided to camp there. The ordering process is very simple and quick. You place your order and then they give you a paper number. They call the number and you pay when you pick up your food. I was in and out in like 15 minutes. Me and my friend ordered the 3 piece chicken with fries and the 2 piece chicken with fried rice. We took our meal back to my apartment. Opening the box I was really surprised at how big the pieces were! I only got the 2 piece and I was ridiculously full. There wasn't anything special about the fries or fried rice but the chicken was moist and tender and the breading but perfectly crunchy. My friend compared it to Popeyes but I beg to differ. Popeyes quality is so inconsistent; I'll get tiny pieces that are soggy! Although I love Popeye's spicy breading and mashed potatoes, if I have a hankering for fried chicken I would definitely come back to this place. Cheaper than Popeyes! For the price and quality, it is worth it. Plus you're supporting a small local business versus a franchise.

The chicken is always good. I go for the 3 pieces with fries and extra biscuits. The place is cash only and one of the stable prices "dont wanna jinxed it ". If you are looking for a quick lunch/dinner for cheat day, this is your place.

Pretty average crispy fried chicken for pretty cheap. All the fried items are pretty bland. Asked for spicy wings and chicken but got regular ones. This place is a hole in a wall off alameda kinda close to the turkey leg hut. It's off in a stand-alone corner in a ran down building. Parking is easy to find. You order first and then pay when your food is ready. Just remember cash only. No bills over 100. No dine in. Charge extra for packets of ketchup. No cell phones while ordering. No ice. Kinda dirty. Kinda tasty.

Best fried chicken, shrimp and fish plate I ever had, The price for the amount of Food we received was impressive. We are from LA, Houston we will be back.

rude customer service I called to complain about the poor quality in my shrimp burger that I always order. I questioned the staff about my order and she got up set when I called to complain about my order. I'm not returning the service and quality has went down .

This place is definitely a hole-in-the-wall. Tiny building, take out only, bars over all the windows. If you're looking for ambience, this is not the place. But is you're looking for amazingly crunchy chicken (or shrimp, fish, etc), this is the place! Do yourself a favor and get the spicy wings with fries. Even the fries are super crunchy, even after the commute. This place is frequented by locals and it's CASH ONLY. Definitely worth a cisit

AMAZING! Best fried chicken in Houston!! I can't believe it took me so long to finally try this restaurant. I highly recommend the spicy wings. The seasoning is perfect and the chicken is so moist. They use just the right amount of batter on the chicken to create the perfect crunch. I also love their fried rice. It is full of amazing flavors and spices. #1 Chicken is definitely the best in town! You can't beat the quality nor the price. I can't wait to be back in the future!

Really nice crispy and crunchy fried chicken. Hot, fresh, and yummy. I got the number 2 with fries and a ginger ale. Lot of food for not a lot of money.

I'm honestly so disappointed! I use to absolutely love this place but the past 3 times we went they were not good the wings were not hot and very small. It was if they were just slapped together!! I will say the fries are still great but I gave them 3 chances on the wings! I dont know what's going on but I won't be back for awhile! Maybe In time they will get it together!

Hands down, the best fried chicken in town! The restaurant truly lives up to its name of #1 Chicken! I'll keep it short and simple, GET THE FRIED WINGS. The spicy fried wings are BOMB! The wings are seasoned to perfection. Better yet, they're fried to perfection too. After your first bite, you'll be like WOW. Quite possibly the crispiest chicken I've ever had. I assure you the wings will not disappoint. If you're not feeling wings though, opt for the fried shrimp or fish. The shrimp and fish are equally as crispy and just as yummy as the wings. If you're not feeling wings or seafood, get the fried pork chops. You get two juicy gigantic pork chops. The best part is the combos comes with a roll and either fries or fried rice! As you can see, the menu is super loaded and there's something for everyone here! All in all, you get a lot of food at such a great price. You not only get quantity here but quality food. If you haven't been here already, I suggest you get off ur butt and get here now! I cannot wait to return later this week.

One of my go-to places in Houston if I'm looking to get some tasty fried cuisine at a great price. I usually get the #26 - - 2 Fish with 6 butterfly shrimp on their Chicken Rice for $10.99 - - OMG it's like so damn good and the best part - not greasy at all, and not too salty or over spiced at all - -just right. My dinner comes with a small side salad that has some honey mustard dressing in it (very good). No dinner roll for me - if I'm gonna eat bread it better be fresh baked quality bread just outta the oven, especially if I'm gonna overcarb it and do some damage Oprah-style. Their tartar sauce is homemade and has a touch of sweetness to it. You'll want more and it can be used for anything so just pay the $1.69 for the larger 3oz container and you're all set. I've had the chicken wings here before and they rock too. The Chicken Fried Rice is very good and well priced @ $6.99 compared to some places who can be closer to $10. The rice grain itself isn't the best quality (i.e. jasmine / basmati / long grain) but it's great the same day. A Few Other Notes: - It's CASH only - - no Apple Pay here. In fact if you probably say "Apple Pay" they'll think you're a psycho fruit-nut escapee and will tell you to GTFO. - Speaking of GTFO - everything here is TO-GO! No nice tables w/ seats and Perrier water w/ waiter service. You order, they give you a number (you better pay attention); it's packed it in a styrofoam container, you pay and then you GTFO because there's gonna be a line forming. Eat it in your car (some do) or take it home (I do). - Don't worry about the bars on the windows - the people inside here are nice, it's all business, and there are employees here from over 4 Continents they all gel well 2ge+her. In fact, I think the city should recognize them w/ a Cultural Diversity Award. - Careful w/ the door entrance - - it's heavy and slams hard, and every time I walk in I get a bruise on my right side-deltoid. But I don't let that stop me (now that I think of it - it's probably a sign from the hyper-critical health-nuts Angels above). I continue to march onward because the pain is worth the gain. - Sweet Potato Pies (sometimes offered for sale) are very tasty and beats Patty LaBelle's by a notch, but at $1.70 for an itty-bitty pie (the size of a golf ball) - - ehhh. A buck would be an ideal price but then again - who am I to complain? I'm a nobody. I'm just a cog in the system. It's their world and I'm just a squirrel with a nut - tryin' to get some of that awesome fried fish and butterfly shrimp and chicken rice and homemade tartar sauce. That's why I keep coming back, and now you know the real reason for those bruises on my shoulder.

Having recently moved to Houston, I was looking food a quality hood Chinese carryout. Living in midtown, that's hard to come by but this spot is a quick drive down the road. I wouldn't say it in the hood but its close enough. As a D.C. native, chicken wings and fried rice are a staple. I dont consume it often but look forward to it as a treat. With all that said, this spot was underwhelming. I had a bad feeling when my order came up in less than a minute. The wings were warm but not fresh out the fryer and the rice was dry and needed 3 full soy sauce packets to be edible. Prices were fair. Came with a store bought dinner roll. No desire to go back and give it another try. My hunt continues.

Chicken was very hot and crispy. I've been coming here for years never let me down. I highly recommend this place.

Great value, quick service! The batter on the chicken is great. Not super greasy, crisp, and has all the nooks and crannies of really great fried chicken. I got the 3 wing combo with fries and roll. My house was only a 5 min drive away, but make sure to open the box/bag they put your chicken in so it doesn't steam! Was still crispy by the time I got home. Wings were really moist and a decent size. They serve crinkle cut fries, also fried really well. Not too over done, but still have a nice texture. If I wanted to be a real stickler, could do with maybe 30 seconds more in the fryer. 4 star only because I asked for spicy but it wasn't remotely spicy. Maybe they just tone down the spice levels super low. I'll remember to bring my own hot sauce next time. Overall, great hole in the wall. Amazing value. Cash only.

Place is pathetic, rude dirty females taking orders. Roaches crawling everywhere. Asked the lady for some French fry seasoning she made it seem like I asked a stupid question. Definitely calling the health inspector first thing Wednesday morning. Place don't deserve business treating people with such disgust. Styrofoam melted on the chicken. Don't lay the proper napkins on tray.

This place has replaced Frenchy's in 3rd Ward. Yes, some of you are wondering how, well let me tell you. They are as consistent as they come. Their chicken is PERFECTLY cooked and their FRIES, OMG!!! Not to mention that they are very affordable. You have to get the chicken wings and/or the drummettes AND ALWAYS GET THE FRIES!! Oh yeah and the spicy is not really spicy its more like seasoned, so don't worry about them actually being spicy. ENJOY!

The exterior is a little sketch but the chicken is top tier! Must try when in Houston

Pretty legit fired chicken place near the museum district. It's a pretty convenient to get lunch to take to the zoo / Herman park or any easy dinner after a long day at the park. Usually get the fried rice cuz the fries taste like the generic frozen kind. Cash only. Take out only. No dine in. Parking gets crowded at times.

Whenever you want that original , your favorite auntie made fried chicken this is the place to go. Quick service good price for the taste and quality . Right on the edge of the hood on a busy street so all you scary folk got nothing to fear . I suggest the shrimp fried rice too!

4 stars for food but 3 for service...averages out to 4 on Yelp, ha. The ordering process: go up to the counter and tell them what you want then stand back against the wall to wait in their tiny tiny take-out only store. They literally have every permutation possible of leg, thigh, wing, shrimp, or fish (this made for a rather high pressure ordering situation, there were so many combinations of food it felt like a math problem). They also have some weird add-on rules listed (eg: to add one wing, it'll cost you $1.09 but "extra chicken" costs $2? not sure what that meant). Some meals come with fried rice/roll/salad. The prices are really great for the amount of food you get so don't spend too long trying to figure out the best combination for the price...they're all great deals. The food is a solid 4 stars - I split my order with one other friend and we ordered one "3 leg, 2 thigh special" (came with 2 rolls) and one "fish with 4 shrimp, fried rice, and salad" combo (with 1 roll). The fried chicken was amazingly crispy and fresh (I wish I had ordered spicy, though) and the breading was divine. Surprisingly, I found the fried fish and shrimp to be even better than the chicken. The breading was so good on them - almost panko like. The sides were meh: fried rice was kinda tasteless but at least had lots of stuff in it (veggies, chicken), the iceberg lettuce salad was doused in Italian dressing, and the rolls were the typical white, store-bought rolls. The tartar sauce the fish came with tasted like sweet mayonnaise, kinda weird and bland. If I ordered again, I'd opt for something with fried rice if given a choice. Unfortunately, the wait was at least 25min for the two orders above. About 10 min into our wait, they told us that it would be another 10min for the wings/thighs, which was odd because it looked like there were plenty of wings/thighs sitting out under the heat lamp...at least 10 people ordered and got their food while we were waiting. Maybe none of them ordered wings or thighs (which seemed odd to me)? Normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but there was no AC and it was super crowded inside (around 1:30pm on a weekday...this place must be a madhouse around noon). Another side effect of having super fresh fried chicken was that it burned holes through the styrofoam takeout containers. We were finishing our meals and noticed tons of burned holes in the styrofoam, which is concerning cuz...where did the styrofoam go!? did it vaporize? did we eat it? did it violate conservation of mass?...oh well, it was worth it. I'd totally come back, albeit at a hopefully less crowded time (likely never from the looks of it). The two orders above cost about 12 bucks and could definitely last for more than one meal. Dunno if you can call ahead but if I could, I would.

First time here with my friend and son. Originally, we were suppose to try the turkey leg but by the time we got there, the lines were down the street. My friend and I looked at each other and we're like ummm COVID season NOT TODAY SATAN. Lol js. We then looked for something next to the turkey leg and we came across this spot. Let me tell you the SHRIMP FRIED RICE was on point, chicken crispy with no extra grease. Fries were bomb. Just wish it didn't take us too long to get home other wise the food would of been good fresh off the oven. The fish I didn't like it too much. But all in all everything else was BOMB.com. Worth the trip and worth the price.

So a disrespectful roach walked right across the counter towards the young lady taking my order . She could not ignore it because he was literally about to walk on the paper she taking the order on so boom shawty swiped the roach and all the papers and ticket numbers on the floor I was gone let them make it but when I bit into the spoiled shrimp and got that bad after taste I felt they had me F up I wanted to bring that back so bad but at this point I just won't eat shrimp ever again from them

Food was good!! I had 6 wings with fries and a drink. Fries were cooked just right and the chicken was extra crispy.

I just finished eating my 6 piece wing dinner that I've been getting here for at least 13 years- this is the first time I've ever not enjoyed my wings! Nombre Hombre somebody better tell them cooks they need to get they life right! My wings were old and pitiful. Today was a sad sad day
