We enjoyed our Side Chick lunch and would order again, but were disappointed in the lack of spice/flavor in the chicken. It had a nice crisp, but very negligible spice. I wondered if we’d received mild on accident, but the box had a chili pepper sticker on top. If the chicken had been better, I think it would have been a more standout meal.
The side sampler was a fun way to try everything! The kimchi potato salad was great, and had way more kick than the “spicy” chicken. (And it’s a bit spicy but definitely not overly so, for context.) I liked the cucumbers and slaw too, and my daughter loved the mac n cheese.
We’d order it again but I guess go for the spiciest chicken. I wish we could have ordered extra slices of cornbread on the side, maybe they’ll consider adding that as an option. I’m curious about some of the desserts, we’ll have to try one next time!

Chicken is good, portion sizes are weird. We ( 3 adults) got the whole chicken feast – and between us we only finished 1/2 the chicken but the meal comes with only 2 pieces of bread and the sides are small. Next time we’ll order more sides.
Fries were fine. Cucumber was very good.
We had ordered for curbside delivery but nobody came out so I had to park and go in. Packaging is adorable.

The whole chicken combo was delicious and fed 3 with enough for leftovers. Got it spicy level 1 so our kiddo could handle it, they devoured the miso mac and wanted more. We got the aioli and green sauces which were divine (kiddo’s word for anything super yummy.) the kimchi potato salad and Filipino cornbread disappeared rapidly. Will return!

The chicken sandwich was good, but I’d give them a little more time to get settled! I’d like to have a choice of dark or light meat, as the chicken sandwich is a thigh. The sandwich was soggy when we got home, but that’s expected with the slaw and sauces. Next time I’ll ask for those on the side.
The fries were good, but the miso mac and cheese lacked flavor. While I love miso, I prefer more a traditional version.

The fried chicken was overcooked, previous one was raw. Mac and cheese and miso not done very well, should be creamier. Sauces were below average. Not very impressed.

Not surprised at how good Ellie Bird’s new fried chicken takeout is! The spicy version was absolutely amazing and I loved the sides, bibingka in lieu of regular cornbread is a genius idea.
