Chicken Kitchen

First, I have to mention something very important for a south beach location: If you decide to go after 6pm, you will be able to park right in front!
There is a decent size parking lot but make sure you park there only to go to the shops from the mall or you’ll get towed away in less than 5 minutes…
Make sure to get the best option from the menu as the sides are expensive but they give you a good amount, so you can also combine only sides to make a dish (like a vegetarian one for exemple…)
Everything is clean, and most of the staff is nice so far except 2 employees which are kind of «lost»…
I have been there a dozen of times and never been disappointed…

This had become my new favorite healthy place in town as a local. The staff was friendly the atmosphere was fresh in all sense of the word. In fact, in comparison to the Pollo Tropical from Hell across the street, it was a real oasis. Yet, now that months have simmered through it feels like it’s getting a bit stale and overset. The staff is rude, short, and management seem not to care. If it’s 10:01 and even though you’re inside of the store, for example, they will simply tell they are closed and that they have no food to serve you. The food is also no longer served with excellence like before, it feels like a piggie sty. I hope management realizes this quick before they are burnt out of the race by the great new place, Pinecrest Bakery, that just opened next door with all the bells and whistles and WIFI, which Chicken Kitchen has also failed to provide in order to keep us there longer while providing what we need most besides food. (The Peruvian staff member there, in my opinion, is the most sarcastic of them, even non-​verbally, right behind a dark-​colored girl that works there.)

Thank you Chicken Kitchen for finally coming back to South Beach. I’ve loved Chicken Kitchen since it opened in Miami like over 10 years ago. The Alton Road location is great expect for the parking. It can be horrible here and there, and now there is a new restaurant opening next door, so good luck finding parking at all. The food is great! I always get the Original or Oriental Chop Chop. It’s extremely yummy! I love the décor and the staff.

Food is good here, I mean its chicken kitchen? not sure what everyone is surprised about because its just one step above fast food. Its quick, and cheap. Parking is usually the only issue as the shops nearby have taken up most of the parking. However, the customer service is questionable.

Chicken kitchen;first experience for south beach. Older lady she’s not accept $ 100 bill so if you have only $ 100 bill you can’t eat over there !!
What ever you ask her for example soda including or not, is this my plate can I take she’s laughing like how you can I ask this stupid questions! She’s so ignorant character. i hope owner read this review!
Without her everything it was ok clean and fresh atmosphere
I’m not sure I will come back maybe I’m going to delivery for my next order

Ok so i grew up in south Kendall where chicken kitchen was life, i was extremely content when they opened this location right next to my house that i started frequenting it about 3x a week as well as recommending it to all my friends that wanted to eat real food but fast.
Untill my last two visits which i witness the manager of the place wipe the glass where everyone places their hand with the same cloth they use to wipe down the counter where chicken is placed for cutting. This brings a major contamination concerns and when I brought it up to the guy making my food he said:
«Hes the manager you should tell him something because i cant»
If this is the kind of place where an employee cannot tell management when they are doing something that can harm its costumers then i strongly suggest that you find somewhere else to spend your money.

We just finished our second meal here this week. The chicken is delicious! Service is great. I highly recommend eating here.

Excellent service, fast and organized. This place is awesome for a quick healthy lunch. Strongly recommend.

I love this place! Healthy fast food and has always been one of my favorites. I highly recommend it. Only downside is parking can be hit or miss and the place is a bit small inside.

I love it great healthy fast food, I keep the skin on my chicken great food always there’s always parking

En general me gusta la cadena chicken kitchen, el pollo es lleno de sabor y es de buen tamaño. Este punto de venta tiene la ventaja de tener parqueo gratuito, y situado convenientemente tanto para locales como para turistas.
Si estas buscando un lugar economico, con buena porcion de comida y adicionalmente muy rico, este lugar es el indicado.
Por ser comida «rapida» no debes esperar un plato gourmet elaborado a cada gusto, ni un mesero tratando de ganar propina extra, todo es elaborado a medida controlando raciones y tiempos por cliente.

Being In the «fast casual» category, my expectations weren’t that high in terms of experience, but this was so bad, that I’m surprised it has lasted over a month.
First, I walked through the door to find one employee asleep at the bar counter, I hope she was on her break.
Second, 2 more employees were sittin at another table screaming jokes (in Spanish) at the team members behind the serving bar.
The toppings area was incredibly dirty and had flies all over it.
The only reason I gave 2 stars was for the food– I always like the chop chicken salad, but the rest of this location is a joke.

Love chicken kitchen food is great for fast food. Such a Miami staple but this locations service is no good. Manager is a pompous asshole and is unconcerned about his poor reviews

Let’s start with the location: A+. On Alton Rd and they have parking right in front!
Everything is brand new, it’s actually a cute little spot to have lunch.
A negative thing about this Chicken Kitchen is that they charge for each topping, so when you add olives, peppers, etc. you kind of expect a nice amount since they are charging for it but sometimes you’re lucky if you get 4 olives and 4 peppers.
Overall, staff is pretty friendly too.
As with all Chicken Kitchens, the sauces are delicious!

Awesome, great food, fresh, clean and roomy location. Would recommend to anybody who loves chicken.

I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned the rubbery chicken. I went here 3 times. The first time when they opened I would have gladly given them 5 stars Unfortunately my next two visits I was served disgusting rubbery watery chicken. I hope they will shape up because I am not planning to take a chance again until I read positive reviews. BTW the place on 41^st street is always good.

Dear Chicken Kitchen,
I was super excited about eating the Original Chop Chop for the first time based on some really great reviews from previous patrons. I was very dissappointed. Not only did the plate look extremely boring (a large plate of lots of yellow rice and a less than ample serving of seemingly seasonless, dry chicken). When the server gave me my dish i looked at it like «is that it?» And she noticed because she quickly directed me to the various sauces located on the counter behind me. OH! I thought-​this must be some good ass sauce and its gonna take this dish up a notch. NOT! It tasted like nothing more than a curried salad dressing. I just didn’t get what all the hoopla was about so I’m gonna have to pass on a return visit. My husband on the other hand REALLY LIKED IT!!! And evidently so did the people who quickly formed the long line as we exited.
He tried my original, but ordered the Teriyaki Chop Chop and would order it again. Although he agreed with me that my dish looked boring and dry and didn’t have that much flavor, he enjoyed the curry sauce and especially liked the yellow rice. We both agreed that the Teriyaki Chicken looked more appetizing at first sight and upon sampling it myself it was far better than the original, but still not something i would order again. He thought it was juicy and flavorful. He took both of our leftovers home for a late night snack.
I thought it was only fair to let his opinion reign for this review and he would definitely recommend it to others. Good quick meal for $ 6.
Parking out front. Lots of seating indoors. Good customer service. Clean restaurant.

Too bad that is so new and so dirty !! And No customer services at all, I hope they will get better

Chicken Kitchen, you’ve let me down. Sure this place is new and clean. Sure the mustard curry is fire. Sure I love me a little pita on the side. But the name of your restaurant is Chicken Kitchen, not RUBBER Chicken Kitchen. So why did you decide to serve me rubber chicken on my Mexican chop-​chop? To add insult to injury, I stupidly asked for an extra chicken breast which was just as rubbery as the first.
Since this is my first experience at this location, chances are I won’t be coming back. The parking situation is atrocious and, as of now, they do not have a self serving sauce bar so make sure to order your sauces at the register.
Get your chicken act together, CK!
