Halal Status Update: Food Still Great
My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, with the food being great. However, I was informed by an employee that their chicken is no longer halal. This is an important detail for those who strictly adhere to halal dietary laws, so be careful if this applies to you.

Waffle Instead of Fries - Never Again
My experience at this restaurant was very disappointing. I was given a waffle instead of the fries I ordered, and when I tried to get the correct item, they refused. This service issue has made me decide that I will never come back.

Friendly Service and Delicious Meals!
My experience at this restaurant in Gaslamp has been consistently positive. I usually opt for takeout, and I'm always impressed by the friendly servers and their genuine smiles. Tonight, I wanted to try the “Happy National Twin Day!
” menu, and the cashier, Josh, was incredibly helpful and patient in assisting me with my order for the twin sandwich meals. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed the meals. It also brought back fond memories of their ‘Happy Valentine’s Day” special offer from earlier this year.
I appreciate these special offers.

Spicy but not too spicy, great fries!
The taste was good, but it wasn't as spicy as I expected. If you're Korean, you could probably order the spiciest option. However, the fries with sauce were genuinely delicious.

Service Fee on Self-Checkout is Ridiculous
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, primarily due to their charging a ~5% service fee when using the self-checkout tablet. This is absolutely ridiculous, especially since I'm helping them reduce labor costs by not needing a staff member to take my order. To add to the frustration, the tablet screen wasn’t even clean.

Delicious Chicken and Great Value!
My first time at Houston Hot Chicken was a fantastic experience. The chicken was incredibly tender and delicious, whether served with a salad or in a chicken sandwich. The prices were very affordable, making it a definite place to stop by.

Great addition for a quick, satisfying meal
The San Diego location has been a welcome addition to the downtown area for a quick and delicious meal. It's responsibly priced and satisfies the fast food itch when I'm all taco'd out!

Inconsistent Spice Levels Ruin Otherwise Great Food
I'm downgrading this place to 3 stars. I recently returned with friends, and unfortunately, not a single one of us received a sandwich with the spice level we requested. I really want to give this place 5 stars, but I don't know what's going on with their spice levels.
The levels of spiciness are SUPER inconsistent. I've now ordered the "Medium" spice level five times and received five completely different levels of spice, ranging from super spicy to absolutely nothing. The food is amazing otherwise, but I just wish their spice scale actually meant something.
