First time trying this place and wow! The chicken is amazing! I only eat halal, and this definitely hit the spot. The breading is perfect and actually stays on the chicken, plus it’s super crispy and full of flavor. The crinkle-cut fries, house ranch, and Kick’n sauce are all top-tier. If you’re a chicken lover, this is hands down the best spot to check out!

Superb food, service, and atmosphere! Truly my favorite place for a chicken sandwich — plus their Mac & cheese is just as delightful!
Some reviewers might try to compare this place to Dave’s Hot Chicken though like the saying goes, you can’t compete where you don’t compare. Five Star Chicken serves hand slaughtered chicken! Talk about respect & care for health safety.

Short and too point, I describe this place best as ehh! Or as my wife says, 3 steps down from Dave’s hot chicken, thus not worth the return. Now for the details; walking in as a new customer with a clearly puzzled and confused expression on my face I wasnt greeted or spoken to or asked if I needed help. Instead after a moment of just standing there with no acknowledgement from the guy behind counter, made my luck with the self order kiosk. From order to receiving the food was a solid 15min wait, during a very slow time even. Both of these, as well as the fly buzzing around the dinning area, could easily been overlooked with some awesome food..
The breading for the chicken is to clearly too much flour you can taste it, the seasoning is bland and theres just no wow factor at all. The breading is think and crumbles from the chicken. Even for the hot & honey, I cudnt taste any heat or any honey, just breaded chicken and the ranch the put on the sandwich. Even the sauce seemed like a generic rip off of Dave’s and had no flavor.
Place isnt bad, the meat itself isnt low quality, theres just nothing noticeable or any flavor thats “kick’n” or “finger lick’n”. Its very far from the “worlds best”. I wont return , but everyone’s taste is diff, so wouldn’t say not to give a try for yourself.

Stopped by 5 Star Chicken and had a really good experience. The food came out hot and tasted great, and the place was clean. The best part was the service though. Karla, the cashier, was really nice and easy to talk to. She took her time, made sure my order was right, and had a good attitude the whole time. You can tell she actually cares about customers. Overall, it was a smooth, pleasant visit. I’d definitely come back again.

“Five Star Chicken in Richmond truly lives up to its name. The chicken is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The taste and quality are much better than Davis Hot Chicken. The service is great, and the food is always consistent. Highly recommended!”

Great spot for halal fried chicken sandwiches! The chicken was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The place is clean, and I really enjoyed my meal—definitely coming back

I was honestly underwhelmed by the chicken sandwich. It felt pretty basic overall. The buns were way too thick and overpowered everything else, and the chicken itself didn’t have much flavor. Nothing stood out or made me want to come back for it. It wasn’t bad, just very forgettable. I was expecting more based on the hype.

I had ordered their flamin mac bowl (mild), It was more on the dry side. I think if they layer their sauce and cheese on the fries, it would’ve been better. I believe they smashed hot cheetos crumbs which was just a small amount and no heat at all. The chicken was moist and mac and cheese inside was decent but bowl itself could’ve been better.
