Starbird Chicken

429 California 1, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254

"Freshly made food, several flavors to choose from, the chicken is nice and crispy, never greasy and definitely white meat! Downside is just that since it is not precooked it does take a while to wait for your meal, and the atmosphere is that of fast food with uncomfortable seats, loud music, and voices carry very well making this a very loud environment and difficult to visit with friends or family while eating in. They do have a patio you could take advantage of but it's right next to PCH and a busy side street. I do like the option of ordering at the kiosk, I don't like that it still asks for you to leave a tip even though you pick your own food up at the counter and clean up after yourself. Otherwise, in the future I will be ordering ahead and just picking up and eating at home or on the beach!"

"New place just opened on PCH. Super fresh and loving everything we've had here so far except the slaw. Edit now several months later after opening. Typical restaurant, opens and everything is good, a few months later service is slow, food is cold and portions are inconsistent. Look at the size of these chicken fingers they just pawned off on us."

"The wings were pretty nice, although they were smaller than I expected. But the pricing was okay and to be expected (20 wings for $25, 12 wings for $13). The skin was crispy and the meat was nice and moist. The overall experience was just like how it was in the Bay Area. You have the option of using the kiosk or order at the cashier."

"We travel to Southern California for a family trip. Both my daughter and I are Celiac and need gluten-free. We looked all over for good gluten-free chicken fingers and starbird came up. We drove 15 minutes to come here but the food was worth the drive. The chicken fingers are amazing. The french fries are also gluten-free and fantastic. I highly recommend the gluten-free chicken nuggets. Plump, juicy, awesome crunchy exterior. Made fresh to order. I highly recommend. The staff was super helpful, courteous - excellent friendly customer service."

"Been wanting to visit this place since it opened. I was very excited to go today. The location is very convenient. Plenty of parking and easy access. The restaurant looks clean and inviting. Upon entering, the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The dining room is clean and has a relaxing atmosphere. There is also an outdoor patio. The food came out very quickly to my surprise... More on that later Food Ordered: Thai salad with crispy chicken- it was ok. Would not order again. Crispy Chicken tenders- Weren't freshly fried but were edible. Lacked flavor but was ok a bit on the salty side. Truffle fries- stale and cold! Had to take them back as they weren't edible. They made a fresh batch which was much better. That explains how they can bring out the food as soon as you're done ordering. It was faster than McDonald's! Seems like they pre-make food instead of making it fresh to order. I really wanted to love this place but was sadly disappointed. Update: management reached out to me but link provided doesn't work :/"
