This place steps all over Dave’s hot chicken raising canes and any other chicken place in OC I don’t even know how this place hasn’t blown up yet! We ordered their family pack and was scared it was going to get soggy but nope we drove home (15 minutes) and it was still hot and crunchy! So we’re the fries! They put a food freshness pack in the containers to keep it actually really fresh still the tenders are so crispy the breading is perfect and the chicken is so flavorful it’s not bland like everywhere else new customer for life now so happy we found this place!

This is one of my fav spots. Definitely felt like a hidden gem. Not sure how long it’s been around but in the world of halal fried chicken I love the fact they have a grilled chicken option. The fried chicken is amazing too but I just love having a grilled option bc idk who else carries it. Portions are big imo but also I don’t eat as much. Have gone a few times and really enjoyed it each time highly recommend it to anyone tryna grab a bit. Just wished they were open later!

Zach’s Chicken was certainly a pleasant surprise. As I would pass by the Pita Pita on Lake Forest Dr at least once a week, I found it quite amusing that it seemed there was another restaurant opening inside the same building. And by that, I mean they literally share a dining room. This humorous development didn’t inspire much confidence in me, but of course I had to try it, and I was certainly not disappointed. With pleasant and helpful staff, cooked to order chicken, and the (almost standard, by now) “choose your heat level” model, it was everything you’d expect from another of the many upcoming hot chicken sandwich joints, and for a reasonable price. The chicken was perfect, the sandwiches were simple and tasty, and there were a variety of sauces that each offered something different and delicious. I always get the second-to-hottest spice level at these places, and I have to say, Zach’s seemed significantly less spicy than comparable restaurants, but you’re really looking for some chicken that’ll make you cry, you’re not missing out on too much. All in all, Zach’s Chicken is definitely a must try for chicken sandwich lovers.

We're in town for work and this local gem has HANDS DOWN the best fried chicken I've ever had!!! The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating and the food is beyond amazing. The chicken breading is absolutely perfect, so juicy and fresh, genuinely the best chicken we've enjoyed!
Can't wait to drop in next time, thanks again for an epic meal!

Zach's Original
The taste of chicken tender is absolutely delicious A+ very juicy my one star minus ⭐ - is just for the size of the chicken tender .
I will go back again and again and recommend it to many people already
You Wana eat you want to be filled ...
In the same time I ordered a falafel 🧆 only falafel not a plate or sandwich to snack on it ,no doubt it's still delicious less greenish than before when they started and they went in a smaller size ,so I finished it all 😞 ($7)
Falafel tastes good but they don't served with because hot sauce a piece of bread otherwise you have to pay extra anything next .
if I want to compare the falafel with philosophy
philosophy is better still had it bigger and more green inside you can ask for pickle ,hot sauce no problem with them ...no extra charges..
