Kenny KhuuOctober 14, 2018The firebird had a juicy, slightly oily, and crisp fried chicken thigh. Supposed to be spicy, but was very weak to me. Excellent French onions topping added a lot to the sandwich. 3.75/5
The chicken oysters are the best! I love both the original and the hot ones, though I might like the hot just a little bit more.
JCApril 8, 2018I got the coop de ville burger. The lime mayo, napa cabbage a little sour for my taste. But the chicken breast is big, moist and crispy.

Most amazingly juicy chicken ever. Doesn’t matter what you order.
