Viva Chicken Park Rd 4500 Park Road, Charlotte, NC 28209

"You should definitely try this chicken!!! It is amazing. However, the green beans were not very good. These were string beans and just blanched and slightly sautéed in maybe a garlic sauce with diced red bell peppers. But I didn't go there for the grean beans I went for the chicken and again it was amazing."

"Great Food, Amazing Service, Great Location.... I was traveling from out town, and as a Floridian - was looking for a spot that tasted like home. This place hit the spot!!! The young lady that helped us at the register was so friendly and willing to answer our questions about options! It was late, and about 15 mins to close. The food was made to order! Hot Tip: Get the sauces!!! 10/10 - Highly recommend!"

"So this service rating of 1/5 is to only rate the employee ( black female, short, locs in her hair) who was very dismissive and rude of my inquiry about why I received such a small portion of beans with my order. Normally I order the Tacu bowl with no rice and everytime I've done this, it has always come with extra beans without me asking. Today, I was shocked to see the portion was so small. When I went to the register to inquire, the cashier Lucy, who was very pleasant and friendly, looked concerned about the portion as well. I could tell she wanted to do something but wasn't exactly sure what she could do. Over walks the employee mentioned earlier and she was very short, rude, and dismissive. She shrugged as if to imply "Oh well that's your problem" and stated "well you should've ordered extra beans" and walked away. There was NO attempt to come to a resolution. Luckily another employee who was pregnant could tell something was wrong and asked me about it. I told her the issue and she quickly asked if I would like to have the rice added in a small bowl. I asked if I could have beans instead and she said sure. Thank you to her and Lucy! If it weren't for them this experience would've left a sour taste in my mouth and I would've avoided this location (which is the closest to me) going forward just to avoid the rude employee earlier."

"Viva Chicken on Park Road in Charlotte was great. They’ve an array of options to choose from including quarter to half to full chicken to soups, wraps and more. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn’t busy. We got the half chicken with cilantro rice and French fries, and the tacu bowl with cilantro rice and chicken. I’m not a fan of chicken cooked in rotisserie style but here the chicken tasted great, and so did the rice and the fries. The tacu bowl was just right, and their sauces supplemented the taste well. The half chicken quantity can be a lot for one person with normal appetite. They’ve vegetarian options as well, which I’m keen on trying. The server was very polite and jovial, and we appreciated that. Restrooms are inside and sufficient parking is available in the lot outside. I see now why this is a popular dining spot in Charlotte. I’ll be back here to try more of their dishes. Side note: I read up on how they started as well, and the history is quite interesting—an immigrant success story!"
