Starbird Chicken

Freshly made food, several flavors to choose from, the chicken is nice and crispy, never greasy and definitely white meat! Downside is just that since it is not precooked it does take a while to wait for your meal, and the atmosphere is that of fast food with uncomfortable seats, loud music, and voices carry very well making this a very loud environment and difficult to visit with friends or family while eating in. They do have a patio you could take advantage of but it's right next to PCH and a busy side street. I do like the option of ordering at the kiosk, I don't like that it still asks for you to leave a tip even though you pick your own food up at the counter and clean up after yourself. Otherwise, in the future I will be ordering ahead and just picking up and eating at home or on the beach!

The wings were pretty nice, although they were smaller than I expected. But the pricing was okay and to be expected (20 wings for $25, 12 wings for $13). The skin was crispy and the meat was nice and moist. The overall experience was just like how it was in the Bay Area. You have the option of using the kiosk or order at the cashier.

We travel to Southern California for a family trip. Both my daughter and I are Celiac and need gluten-free. We looked all over for good gluten-free chicken fingers and starbird came up. We drove 15 minutes to come here but the food was worth the drive. The chicken fingers are amazing. The french fries are also gluten-free and fantastic. I highly recommend the gluten-free chicken nuggets. Plump, juicy, awesome crunchy exterior. Made fresh to order. I highly recommend. The staff was super helpful, courteous - excellent friendly customer service.

Been wanting to visit this place since it opened. I was very excited to go today. The location is very convenient. Plenty of parking and easy access. The restaurant looks clean and inviting. Upon entering, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The dining room is clean and has a relaxing atmosphere. There is also an outdoor patio. The food came out very quickly to my surprise... More on that later Food Ordered: Thai salad with crispy chicken- it was ok. Would not order again. Crispy Chicken tenders- Weren't freshly fried but were edible. Lacked flavor but was ok a bit on the salty side. Truffle fries- stale and cold! Had to take them back as they weren't edible. They made a fresh batch which was much better. That explains how they can bring out the food as soon as you're done ordering. It was faster than McDonald's! Seems like they pre-make food instead of making it fresh to order. I really wanted to love this place but was sadly disappointed. Update: management reached out to me but link provided doesn't work :/

New place just opened on PCH. Super fresh and loving everything we've had here so far except the slaw. Edit now several months later after opening. Typical restaurant, opens and everything is good, a few months later service is slow, food is cold and portions are inconsistent. Look at the size of these chicken fingers they just pawned off on us.

I love the food. However, I got a coupon for a free sandwich in the mail. Or free French fries that were like nacho style, they looked really good. There was no expiration date on the coupon. Or the thing it came with, yet I was denied use of the coupon cause it apparently expired the day before. I told them there's no expiration date on this. they supposedly called the manager, and the mgr said, " No, you can't use it." So when I went home and looked at the paper thing that it came with. Guess what? There was no expiration date on that either. My friend and her boyfriend went in there at night and had the same problem. My friend even called the manager to explain, and the manager didn't call her back to apologize. Or anything. As someone who's been in customer service for years.They are supposed to honor that. Oh well At least the food was yummy.

Really is the best place for salad and other menus like chicken fried and fries Taste was Great quality is Amazing Highly recommend

The two times I went I had really great service. The staff was super welcoming and the orders have been correct. I haven't had to go back. I was in and out pretty quick. The food is so fresh. And cooked to perfection. Bout to go again in about two days. (It's pretty far, I live in Lynwood.)

Jenna was the best host! Super nice and helpful with my order. My order was delicious and reasonably priced

Took my son here to redeem a coupon we received during fiesta Hermosa. This had been my first time, and decided to order the chicken tenders and fries. The guy at the counter was very friendly and took my order right away. Store looked clean and well kept. Take out order came out pretty quickly and drove home. Fries were pretty tasty and chicken tenders were crunchy and flavorful. Also has a side of ranch to go with it. I really like that they don't use any antibiotics in their chicken and it's always fresh, never frozen and hand breaded. Will come back to try their sandwiches or maybe a salad

I've enjoyed the food from Starbird Chicken ever since they expanded to SoCal from the other side of the Golden State. This is the first physical streetside location in SoCal, but they actually had a couple of ghost kitchens before opening this one in Hermosa Beach on the southwest corner of 5th and PCH. Like I said, I like the food, but there always seems to be a myriad of issues that they have with every order I place, either online or in person. My first visit to this location was shortly after they opened, and I was hoping to order the boneless wings*, but there was an error in the pricing at the kiosk. Like the price would initially say $14.77, but then at checkout, it jumped to $15.97! Studying the rest of the menu, I could tell the higher price was the correct one, but this error really messed with me because I thought I could have saved $1.20 here. I do recall on that first visit, one of the Starbird employees, who may have been the manager on duty, was super helpful to me and even threw in some extra sauces for me. She also let me sample one of the flavors, and when I was coughing uncontrollably, she fetched me a cup of water. Needless to say, I definitely appreciated all this. However, on my last visit, I was so unsatisfied that I almost would have given a 1 here, but since I had a much better first visit, I'm awarding a second star instead. I placed a couple of orders online to redeem a couple of rewards that were going to expire soon. It's something I like to do at Starbird since this is the closest location to me, and I have to drive a long way just to get there. Not only do I have to estimate my time of arrival, but I also have to hope that I don't hit too many red lights on surface streets. I got real lucky and arrived right when my phone texted me that my order was ready. I was hoping that was a sign of good things to come, but unfortunately, it was just not meant to be :( As soon as I went up to the pickup counter, I told them my name for pickup and that I had two orders. They still needed a couple of minutes to finish off my orders. Then why did I get the text saying my order was ready then? I guess it was because in my special instructions for the Banh Mi Chicken Salad, I requested for the noodles, shallots, and dressing to be on the side. I also added an optional note to put the rest of the toppings on the side if possible, and luckily, they obliged, though the cashier did ask me for clarification about that. After only a couple of minutes, the cashier handed me two white paper bags sans handles rather than the traditional Starbird bags with their logo. I don't know if this is a cost cutting measure, but I really didn't like the idea of white paper bags, especially for the Banh Mi Chicken Salad. Starbird's salads are quite large, so the cashier had to flip it on its side to get it to fit in the white bag. Did they really do away with the larger bags with handles? If so, boo! I was planning on saving the salad for lunch the next day and eating my other order there. My other order was the Seoul Star Sandwich with Grilled Chicken, a $1 upcharge from crispy chicken. I like Starbird's crispy chicken, which is deep-fried in rice bran oil, but switched to grilled because I'm avoiding fried food for the time being. In addition to the sandwich, I wanted to try their rainbow slaw, which is a $2.97 upcharge, but $1 less than that of the House Fries. I wish they would offer combo meals for their sandwiches, but the sides are a la carte at Starbird. I like Korean chicken sandwiches, but this one was lackluster. The grilled chicken was pretty dry, and I didn't really taste much Korean in the sandwich. As a result, I had to use a ketchup packet, which I really hope I'm not committing sacrilege by using Heinz instead of Gochujang or something of the like. Before I started my sandwich, I saw an umbrella in the outdoor patio had toppled over. While I was finishing my sandwich, that umbrella succumbed to the windy weather and even knocked a chair aside! And not a single employee bothered to tend to that. If a customer was eating there, he/she could have gotten hurt, but luckily, nobody was dining al fresco. I really hope use of umbrellas with weak wind resistance isn't another cost cutting measure Starbird is utilizing and that they don't put emphasis on profits over safety. As for the salad, I did like it overall, but I'm curious how some breaded chicken made its way into my salad, both in the bowl as well as in the side of carrots? Another sign of carelessness if you ask me; I wouldn't be surprised if cross contamination was not uncommon here. Overall, I was displeased having driven so far for a disappointment of a sandwich and a salad that contained foreign substances that I was okay with eating a little bit of, but wouldn't have wanted if I had the choice. Won't be back for a long while. * Starbird no longer offers boneless wings; they have since been replaced with chicken nuggets.

If I was only rating the food, it would be an easy 5 stars. I live in Hermosa and love coming here, however we have to keep it an occasional treat due to the pricing. This weekend I had my family in town and knew they just had to try it! The employees were friendly as always, and the food was exceptional. You can't beat all of the sauce options or the chicken tenders! However, the issue goes back to pricing. For only 5 of us, the order was $76 and one person only had a kids meal. On top of this, my dad got avocado on his sandwich which was an extra $2 - fine if you get a good amount of avocado, but it came with only a small amount of avocado spread - not even sliced avocado! Unfortunately I probably won't/can't bring my family back at these rates but every few weeks I'll treat myself to the fries & tenders.

We tried Starbird for the first time last weekend. We had the tenders and the sandwich. Both were good, but we found the chicken a little under seasoned .. it was lacking pepper, garlic or some sort of seasoning to make it standout. The dipping sauces were very good. It was very clean in the restaurant and the service was very good. (Just a side note .. the ketchup dispenser by the napkins was empty. Not sure if it was supposed to be or it wasn't refilled.)

I recently received a promotion in the mail from the Hermosa Beach restaurant, offering any salad, sandwich, Tender Box, nuggets, or wing order under $15. Intrigued, I decided to give it a try. I ordered a dozen chicken wings priced at $14.97, but the guy behind the counter informed me that the promotion didn't cover wings. So, I settled for a Nashville Hotbird sandwich instead. I'm usually not keen on Nashville chicken sandwiches because they typically use chicken breast, and I prefer dark meat. The sandwich was decent. I liked the addition of pickles and slaw, which provided a pleasant crunch and tanginess. However, I still found the chicken breast lacking in flavor compared to dark meat. Being a fan of spicy food, I was let down by the mango habanero sauce, which turned out to be sweet rather than spicy. Overall, while the sandwich was good and I understand why Starbird has a high Yelp rating, it didn't quite suit my taste. I also sampled the Nashville Hot and Nashville Blazin chicken wings. Though on the smaller side, they were perfectly fried, crunchy, and bursting with flavor! Interestingly, I couldn't distinguish much difference between the hot and blazin varieties--they both were equally enjoyable and delivered the same level of heat. I paired them with their Sriracha Aioli, which had a nice kick that I appreciated.

Service was not good today. Cashier and cook were not helpful at all I waited for ever for my food then another 15 mins to get the root beer tank replaced and they never replaced it. Never told me they couldn't just let me stand there waiting

The first time I came here was for their Grand Opening in Oct. of 2022. I had signed up to be notified when they opened because they'd send out a free meal coupon. I took my order home to eat. When I opened up the contents, I knew there was too much food! We got 4 succulent wings and a tender plus slaw and fries. It was all were more than enough for two of us! It wasn't too busy when we were here this last visit on Jan. 26, 2024. We came after the lunch rush. It was apparent because the tables needed wiping down and the trash sat above the counter. We wiped our own table the best we could. The trash was eventually emptied. I love it when a company misses me! They recently sent me a coupon for a free salad, so I returned to try one. I made a Mobile Order and got the confirmation and notification of when it was about ready. The App is straight forward & easy to use. You can also order at the kiosks or with a cashier. Hubby & I shared the Chicken Chop Salad. We were going to order a Chicken Sandwich, but forgot. Glad we didn't because we were satiated without being stuffed. We also shared the It's It Ice Cream Treat. Hubby LOVES those! It's an unusual and nice surprise to see it on the menu! Oh, another interesting find was the Thai Iced Tea with flowing refills next to the iced tea & Lemonades! This Chicken Chop Salad was very tasty! We chose to make the chicken Nashville Hot Chicken for a buck more. This is not your ordinary salad! We really enjoyed all the ingredients packed into this salad! I am glad to report that the salad greens (romaine cabbage blend) were crispy and fresh! I wouldn't hesitate to get this again! The Nashville Hot Chicken on the salad that we paid extra for was not at all spicy. One thing I thought was pretty cool was that you can help fight hunger by donating a meal (or 4, like I did) and it doesn't cost you anything to do it! It is through the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. If you scan the QR Code (GiftAMeal App which you are not required to download), you can follow the steps listed. If you do a post of Instagram, FB, & X, you can donate 3 more meals. How cool is that?!?! I will return, but hopefully it will be sometime this year! I also need to use my Yelp Check-In Offer of 1FREE Fry with a $10 purchase.

First time trying this place and entire experience was AmaZing! Anette was incredible and so helpful! We had a large platter order of abt 40 wings, Nashville hot fries, and the slaw. Everything was amazing! The slaw was unique in taste, not what you'd expect. It had a citrus base that does not pair well with spicy flavors! The cajun and nashville hot were my fav flavors The honey bbq were nxt up! We didn't get good pics of the food b/c we demolished it Bonus tip-- mix the lemonade and pear Limeade!! Sooooo yummy!

Stopped in to grab dinner to go and ordered the Orange Chicken and Green Goddess salads and some Lemon Pepper wings. The food came out quickly and we enjoyed their fountain machine while we waited. The staff was friendly and let me know my options to upsize different things with the meal. The food was good they had a good variety of options to choose from on the menu, including Gardein (vegan) chicken. They do have a military discount, which is always nice. If you scan some of the QR codes around the dining area and take a picture of your food, they donate a meal to the local Food Bank which allows them to give to the community. Great restaurant. Will visit again the next time I am in town, and will try to take a picture before eating all of the food.

A new fastfood chicken chain that got me with their billboard advertising. I went out of my way to try one of their new locations. Picked up some spicy chicken strips and garlic truffle fries. While the fries were impressive with the right amount of cheese, and fresh out of the oven; I was a bit disappointed with the chicken strips. The spicy style ones are dipped in oil and spices for that classic spicy flair - but there is so much breading and the spice was a bit underwhelming even at a medium heat level. The breading was thick, and it felt like for a place that was selling me on their strips... the strips was just OK at best.

The first thing is this... the service was really good the guys were helpful now the chicken was just chicken I think because I went close to closing it wasn't as good the chicken taste like it was cooked in old grease and it wasn't coated well it had no flavor it was like they coated it and fried it no seasoning at all but I will give them a try earlier in the day and earlier in the week

The chicken here was super tasty! I enjoyed their nuggets as well as their fries and salad. They have a good variety of sauces, unfortunately, I didn't really like any of them. The chicken and fries stayed super crispy even on to go orders. Service was friendly and they did a great job.ideal for kids as well, worth, checking out!

Took too long for them to place my order, but at least they were friendly and professional. More important than anything in my opinion, the food was terrible, maybe with the exception of the truffle Parmesan French fries, which were alright. The "Nashville"hot chicken sandwich was in unbearably salty and was swimming in a pool of oil. Would not repeat, would never recommend.

I had a great experience at this location. My friend and I happened upon it because of a coupon placed on my car for the restaurant. We decided to give it a try. The cashier was pleasant and kind, the food came out in 5 minutes (only one person ahead of us), the portion size was HUGE, and the food tasted great! I recommend sharing if you are not someone who eats a lot. Highlighted food we enjoyed was the elote chopped salad and classic chicken strips with fries. We will be returning!

The chicken is cut into super thin slices. There is barely any chicken in the chicken sandwich! The amount of meat to bun ratio is completely off. Customer service and ambiance for a fast food restaurant was good.

Prior to this review, I was always intrigued by the pictures of plump juicy chicken sandwiches from starbird. I finally had a chance to try it, and boy was I disappointed. After pulling into the parking lot, the first thing that hit me was a stinky trash smell. I'm not quite sure where it was coming from, but it did not set a good tone. When we got inside, my wife said it smelled of urine, although I did not appreciate this. She did not feel comfortable eating there as we were the only customers present (I think this is more of a takeout kind of place). We ordered the big star and the seoul star chicken sandwiches, which thankfully didn't take too long to get. I was extremely underwhelmed by the chicken. It was not the plump chicken advertised but rather almost like a flattened chicken strip. Im glad we were able to utilize Yelps $5 off coupon for first-time customers because i would've been pretty upset at spending $10+ for JUST a mediocre chicken sandwich. I mean, for 10 bucks, you can get a decent chicken sandwich with fries and a drink at Popeyes. Long story short: not worth it.

Solid fried chicken sandwich, but note that it is pricier compared to other sandwich shops. Big Star Sandwich ($10): A good all-around fried chicken sandwich with sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and Starbird's "Star Sauce". This sauce is similar to Chick-Fil-A sauce (which I love) and is tangy, creamy, sweet, and smoky. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside and flavored well. The sandwich and all of its components came together for a satisfying bite. Side of French Fries ($4): These fries were good: thick with a crispy fried outside and soft potato-y inside. * Food: 4/5 stars * Parking: 4/5 stars * Ambience: 4/5 stars * Price: 4/5 stars * Value: 4/5 stars The servers were nice, but it took a little longer than expected to get our order. There's also a dedicated parking lot which is wonderful, especially as this location is off of the busy CA-Highway 1.

I've eaten at a Starbird restaurant in Foster City in Northern California and they are consistent and good. I was met by cheerful employees and although I did not stay to eat at the restaurant, it was noticeably clean. I like spicy food so the Nashville Tender Box was a perfect choice. I like that Coleslaw came with the meal. Great food at a nice value.

Honestly place disappointed. Yes- it's a chicken joint, but still the dining area was dirty, and just felt weird. The chicken was juicy, but I didn't love the sauces and the seasoning was just ok. The employees were super friendly and I didn't have to wait very long for my food. If youre GF, craving tenders and just need to scratch that itch go for it. Otherwise I'd say you're not missing much.

This place is clean. Grand Opening! Love this place!!! Awesome Chicken chop was amazing!!! The crispiness and fresh chicken. You can taste the awesome flavors in your mouth. The staff was friendly and service was super fast. They also gave me a free meal coupon! What a service! All I can say is stop by here and try this place out. Won't disappoint you. Lot of other things on the menu. These guys already have like 5 location in north cali.

Tasty tenders & wings, clean, and friendly staff. I've been here twice now, and the service was great both times. The Nashville Hot Bird Sandwich has a kick to it and isn't too spicy. The Bahn Mi Tenders box flavor is good if you like sweet sauce. I like that the tenders taste like the original McDonald's Chicken Selects. The sides could be improved. The slaw is a kale and cabbage slaw with light dressing, and the fries are just OK. No complaints but also not amazing. Check this place out!

I'm downgrading my 2 stars to 1. I have not bothered going back to this location until today because there are so many other places to go and not worry about how filthy it is. I am downgrading this because the manager posted that they would reach out to discuss this ... and ... no surprise, I never heard from them. It either slipped their mind or it was just lip service to show everyone else that they care when in actuality they obviously do not. This photo is the front door of the store. Look closely at the floor around the door. The black marks on the yellow treads and the dark pathway around the door the is grease on the floor. When you step inside the floors are slimy and slippery. This was taken today,. It was like this months ago when I last visited this location. Eat at your own risk.

PSA - They now have a VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY option!!! I've tried all of their original flavors, but the Banh Mi sandwich with the vegetarian option beats all of them hands down. It had the perfect amount of spice from the Jalapenos and was rich in flavor. Paired perfectly with the slaw. Highly recommend!

I'm familiar with Starbird and their ghost kitchen in Torrance but was surprised to see them open up a standalone storefront. The location is spacious with ample parking in their private lot and offers easy in/out access. I got the 4 piece Nashville tenders and I was pretty happy with it. The chicken was crispy, but also breaded pretty well. It comes with a few slices of pickles as well. I thought the chicken was juicy enough but could be juicier. Maybe that's me being picky but all in all, it's a solid chicken spot. The flavoring was spot on.

Easy parking easy on line ordering Excellent service super clean and good food. Who could ask for more? I had the Banh Mi tenders, fries and coke slaw. The sauces were very tasty with a lot of flavor, the nuggets and fries were cooked very well and had a good crips on the chicken. I was not a fan of the coleslaw but I'm not a fan of Kale so I think it's a personal thing. The quantity of food was good and the price about comparable with other fried chicken places. This is gonna become a go to place after a day at the beach.

Food is always amazing here . We always get the spicy tenders they are delicious and also gluten free we had Norman help us out with our order he was very nice and helpful . It's always a good time at this location

After the Yelp Holiday Beach party, a subsequent visit was in order. With my family in tow, we made our way here on a weeknight. My initial taste of the unique flavors i tried at the event prompted me to try the vegan Chivken sandwich. Omg, would never notice or reject this as not being Chicken IMHO. The "chicken" is fried to a perfectly delicious crunch. Totally recommend if you are vegan/vegetarian. This time, I also tried the Spicy Herb Wings which were also delicious. Service at the registers is very friendly, accommodating and patient answering questions. Parking in the lot. Will be back!

We like to come here for a quick, tasty bite. My kids love getting tenders and I love that variety of salad. We had Ivan help us this time and he had great customer service. He was friendly fast and efficient The restaurant is bright and clean. There is also outdoor seating if you like.

This place is truly amazing, they don't use frozen chicken , everything is fresh and you can imagine the quality of food. Tenders , salads and sandwiches are really good. I can't wait to come back to try more

We discovered Starbird a few days ago, looking for a really good chicken sandwich (Chick-Fil-A is fine but wanted something better, and Dave's Hot Chicken just isn't quality). Starbird delivers. The chicken is delicious and not overly-fried. The sauces are all very tasty, can't help but get a few of each whenever we order. The sandwiches are delicious and the nuggets are just the right size and have great flavor. This is now our go-to spot for awesome fried chicken!

I just went to the Hermosa Beach location with friends and was pretty impressed by the service and food . I myself had the 3 piece chicken with all fries , my other friends had the 4 piece, we all enjoyed it, I really loved the quality of food and it was neat to try all different flavors of sauces, and I really enjoyed the pink lemonade, with assorted flavors as well. Parking was spacious and it was clean inside of restaurant. It was all of our first time trying this new restaurant, we would always drive by it , but this time we decided to go in. We made a good choice checking it out.

I went there Saturday for the first time and got food poisoning. I haven't been able to eat in 2 days and have been living in the bathroom. I took tow bites of my chicken sandwich and didn't like it, and the loaded fries or whatever they were called was outright disgusting. Save your money and health by passing this place up.

Just left this location with amazing looking salads! The service was quick and the customer service was awesome! Thank you Brandon, Linda, Chris, and Amalie; we hope to see your wonderful faces when we return!

This is the new jumbo fried chicken tender place on PCH in Hermosa Beach. I didn't realize there was a chicken tender fad going on but we must be in one. There have been lots of grand openings in the South Bay lately: Starbird, Canes, Jollibee, etc. This Starbird location is the most west of them all so perhaps a well strategized place for the beach community commuting home daily. The jumbo tenders here are roughly 1/3 to 1/2 the size of a true chicken breast. The variability of the nuggets is pretty high - Real chicken breasts vary in size so I get that, but you kind of don't want to get the weenie chicken tender. The size of these tenders makes Starbird's competitors more like Cane's or the popular chicken at Knotts Berry Farm. These are not the little nuggets from Chick-fila. And definitely not the reconstituted chicken nuggets of McD's. Thank goodness. As far as taste, I like the generous seasoning on the chicken. I prefer the spicy tenders but the original is good, too. The batter is the right coverage - not too skimpy for these to feel like just chicken but thick enough to deliver crunch and keep the chicken moist. Dipping sauces: They make their own sauces. I admit I tried near all of them and was not a fan of most. I do not like their default Star sauce - it is cloyingly sweet. I do not enjoy Mayo and most of their sauces taste Mayo-based. I know restaurants tout their proprietary sauces... but I would rather just have a side of standard Tapatio, Sriracha or Frank's hot sauce. Thankfully the chicken alone is good and I can pass on the sauce. Fries are not too thin or thick; they are well textured. Slaw was nice conceptually but was swimming in sauce and the kale was not tender -- perhaps staff didn't know to blanch or trim the tough bits. Go with the fries. Love that Thai iced tea is a drink option. Juice stations had 2 nice options too. If you're stuck in traffic on PCH on the way home, Starbird is a nice option. Welcome to the South Bay!

We tried this place for the first time today - and wow. I'd say they are among the best friend chicken sandwiches we'd ever had. Not too greasy, juicy chicken, yummy toasted bun and perfect portion of toppings. Fries and sauces were also great!

I arrived around 9pm to the shop. There's a decent size parking lot and the inside was super nice! Great interior seating, decor, and lighting. You can order at a kiosk but there was no wait so they took my order immediately. Food came out in 10minutes. Note: A bit confusing at first because the seasonal wing flavors are just the same as the classic flavors paired with one of their sauces. Staff was super nice trying to explain this! 9/10 20 traditional wings $21 - half sweet Thai chili and half Nashville hot. The Thai chili was perfectly coated and a bit sweet and more tangy flavor! Has crispy onions and onions. Super bomb must get! The Nashville hot is a dry rub so their wings are way crispier than the Thai chili (still crispy). Spice level 0/10 spicy. Most of the flavor came with pairing with sauces. I tried spicy Seoul, spicy herb aoili, pickle ranch, honey mustard, and star sauce. All were bomb but spicy soup and herb were the best.

Congratulations to Starbird Grand Opening in Hermosa Beach! Welcome to the neighborhood! I used to go to their Lawndale locatiin to pickup take out as it was an online order and locker pick up but the parking situation there is so inconvenience. So glad they opened an actual shop here 5 mins from me. So impressed with their food, and definitely impressed how organized and fast they were. I prefer Starbird over Chick Fila or Raising Cane's 100%. Move over Chick-fil-A, Starbird is times yummier! The batter is so good. I usually avoid ordering chicken breasts at all cost but their chicken breast here is the most tender and juicy I've ever had. Even the French fries are so delicious here. They have an unique vendor for self serve drink station here. They served locally owned unique sodas and daily fresh made teas. Passionate lemonade and their Thai Tea are so good! Easy access, easy parking in the lot and also Indoor and outdoor tables and chairs for dinning.

I'm going back and forth on this rating. There was an even mix of good and bad. The staff is hard working and has great customer service so no fault to them, but the experience overall was less than 4 stars. The salad was good but the wings were terrible. It took a long time to get my food and the order came out wrong, but then they quickly corrected it. This was my second time trying Starbird and I was really hoping to be impressed this time. They get a lot of hype and they pump out a high volume of orders. However, they seem disproportionately online; even though there was hardly anyone in the restaurant, it took much longer than expected to get our food. It seems like they're not staffed to the necessary capacity to handle the lunch rush because in addition to the long wait, both our orders were incorrect. They had great customer service though. After I showed them I had the incorrect salad, they quickly replaced it I may have been too adventurous by ordering the orange chicken wings. They were really pushing them on the ads so I figured they must be good. It's hard to describe the flavor of the glaze, but I wouldn't recommend it. It was kind of like if you chewed on an orange peel that had been sprinkled with fish skin. I hate wasting food, but I wasn't able to finish them I also got the chicken Cobb salad. It was very basic. I will say that the fried chicken on this was good. It had a nice crunchy texture with a peppery, garlic rub. It was also a large serving that filled me up. It wasn't good enough to entice me to come back here though

What an amazing experience our family had at this local joint. Just tried out a local Nashville hot chicken joint in Hermosa Beach. There are so many places out there but this one comes with a great spice , seasoning and perfect level of salt. And who doesn't love the dunk into that creamy star sauce? What we ordered: Chicken Chop Salad Classic Tender Box Nashville Hot Tender Box Big Star Sandwich Star B Que wings Service was very good. Clean restroom and great outdoor seatings for family. Definitely a must. Alex, the store manager, was so friendly.

I love this restaurant!!!! The chicken is phenomenal.. The customer service is amazing . The manager that helped was very helpful and kind. The restaurant was so clean and pristine it was a great ambiance.

5 stars for the service and crispiness of chicken. I wasn't expecting the Sweet Thai tenders to be so salty. I would have preferred the regular tenders instead. I wish the fries were crispy rather than soft.

Tried their Hermosa Beach location recently. I was reminded that I had tried their Sunnyvale location a long time ago. My first experience was not memorable. I vaguely remember having a bland sandwich. This time around I was blown away by the flavors in their StarBird. Also impressed by their assortment of sauces which were generously offered for us to try. Their sodas aren't brand names but the variety covered all the usual bases. The root beer was really tasty. With a "meal" you have a choice of sodas or several other non soda options. I think I've found my new favorite chicken sandwich spot. Looking forward to try their truffle fries, salads and other sandwiches. And I'm getting an It's It Ice Cream sandwich!

The food was great, the sandwiches the churros. The truffle french fries were not my favorite but it was okay. The chicken quality is amazing it doesn't taste greasy at all.

Not very good at all! Expensive, even in the current economic environment and with what's going on it's over the top expensive. My wife and I had 1 chicken sandwich with fries, 6 chicken nuggets and 1 small drink $29! LOL, even if it would have been $15 the food is just not good, the nuggets are 50% coating and it's so salty! The sandwich had the smallest bun I have ever seen. lots and lots and lots of better choices for a quick tasty meal.

Such a nice ambiance. Every starbird I've been to Lightning is immaculate. The salads are always on point with the perfect crunch. My favorite is the chicken chop, the green goddess and the Thai chicken salad. And for my vegans they have vegan option chicken that is made out of tofu. Wings are official too. Salads a must have though!

Quick service. They made my food fresh to order. You can get extra fries with your meal if you don't want the coleslaw which is awesome. I've been here a couple of times and the food was consistent and tasty. The dining room is bright and has several small tables. There is also an adjacent parking lot. One of the best spots in the South Bay for chicken tenders!

Tried this place for the first time this weekend. It's bright and roomy inside. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer. We ordered two chopped salads with the crispy chicken on top. The salads did not have enough dressing and boy the salads were huge. We could have shared one. The star of the meal was the fried chicken. It was crispy, juicy and very tasty! The chicken here is worth the stop if you are in the neighborhood. They messed up our order slightly so when you pick up your food, check it carefully.

This food place is amazing and so delicious! You also have to try their homemade sauces. They have great survive and always are done in no time

Food is amazing and well seasoned. I had the Nashville tenders and they was fire if you're thinking about trying this place please do you will not regret it
