Taiwan Popcorn Chicken - Irvine

The food is great, and they have self-order kiosks available, so you can either order at the kiosk or through their online app. The chicken fillet Benton box is exceptional. The meat is very tender, and the flavor is incredibly authentic.

My favorite dish is her signature popcorn chicken. It's cooked to order and comes out perfectly crispy, with just the right amount of salt. The portions are generous for the price, and their lunch combination is particularly impressive. The only downside is the lack of personal interaction with the staff; orders are placed either through an app or an in-store tablet, and even when there are no other customers, there seems to be no one available to take orders.

This restaurant offers authentic Taiwanese street food and has plenty of outdoor seating. The service is incredibly quick, which adds to the vibrant atmosphere. It's surprising that this place only has a three-star rating—it definitely deserves better! We highly recommend it for a quick bite and will be returning soon.

Real Taiwanese popcorn chicken place. many options and I really like the fried oysters.

So glad we stumbled upon Taiwan Popcorn Chicken the other night. Having grown up in Taiwan, this store is literally the fried carts commonly found in day/night markets in Taiwan. If you're not familiar with these fried carts, they will literally throw everything and their kitchen sink into the deep fryer, fresh, for you. Everything just tastes better freshly fried, and that includes popcorn chicken (the name of the store), calamari, oysters, and even pig's blood cake. They do sell other stuff like bento boxes (also filled with fried goodness) if you're looking for more of a meal. Parking is quite good as it is located within a large strip mall.
