KFC

Do yourself a favor and go to the KFC in Emeryville. I’ve been here several times within about a hour of their closing time after I get off work and they consistently will NOT make anything fresh for that time period. They refuse to fry new chicken or strips and use closing as an excuse, last time I checked an hour was enough time to fry chicken. The employees aren’t exactly nice about it either… then they have the nerve to have signs in the drive thru asking customers to have payment ready to speed up their drive-​thru time, no, that’s your job that you get paid for.
If it’s management or owners telling them to be out before a certain hour so they are cleaning the fryers early or something… you may want to rethink that practice as you are going to alienate more customers like myself, we don’t all just want original chicken, sorry. If it’s your employees then, we’ll now you know.

Service here is so poor! Smh I don’t even know where to start. The Male general manager is extremely rude and standoffish. A lot of the workers are terrible and nasty. I’ve only come across 2 workers that are genuinely nice and competent. If I do say so myself they need to step up the service.

OK, I don’t write a whole lot of reviews, and certainly not for fast food, but this is about the friendliest staff I have come across in a long time. The place is clean and efficient, but man, some fine dining establishments can learn something from this staff.

0 out of 2 for oakland [west] kfc! greasy chicken! so much that it pooled in the box! homeless in and out and flies everywhere! pass this place by!

Love KFC bisquits. As far as I’m concerned they are the best thing on the menu.

This KFC sucks ass. If my chicken isn’t over-​cooked, somethin’ is missin’ from my order. Even after new ownership, they still aren’t doing good. I decided to give it another try tonight, wrong move because they fucked up my order once again. I do not suggest this KFC. Go to McDonalds across the way, at least they give the right items.

KFC has gone asian fusion with it’s latest offering, popcorn chicken. popcorn chicken is a taiwanese import, previously found only in taiwanese restaurants, quickly’s, teaways, and tapoica express boba shops. no more. (unfortunately), it’s now at KFC.
popcorn chicken is usually pieces of chicken battered and spiced up and fried. nothing extruded about the meat. it’s natural meat, just leftover pieces, that’s all.
sampling: popcorn chicken (2.99)
–definitely tons better than big D’s nuggets. but less tasty than the real taiwanese popcorn chicken. KFC’s is very salty. the taiwanese ones uses more msg and some spices.
–white breast meat used here, not sure what kind of meat used in taiwanese restaurants, etc…, probably dark meat.
–if you eat the popcorn chicken here and drink lots of cold beer (any kind), satisfaction is in the bag.
chickenshit:
–service very good here
–a combo is available with potato wedges and a drink. F… that get a beer.
much cheaper and you’ll feel good all over.
