Starbird Chicken - Foster City

Jr Yelper picked up some chicken to try and brought it home. We had chicken wings, tenders and a chicken sandwich. We tried the Parmesan wings and found it to be nice and crunchy but not like regular fried chicken. The coating was more similar to rice flour. As if you breaded it with shrimp chips. I liked the Nashville chicken wing, not spicy at all and even better with the ranch dipping sauce. The chicken tenders was not so great. The coating reminded me of the Shake and Bake boxed coating you get at the supermarket. The tater tots were the same as if you bought packaged frozen Ore Ida tots, I would skip. The kale salad was bland. On a return trip, I would stick with the wings and skip the others. They opened a Starbird at the Corte Madera mall too.

Juicy chicken good match with their own recipe coleslaw , very delicious !

I used to be a super fan of the Starbirds Sunnyvale location and would recommend it to everyone. I’m not sure if all locations have gone downhill, but the Foster City location is flat out disappointing and not good. The chicken quality varies by the day (sometimes tastes old) and the nashville hot fries are a soggy mess with occasional undercooked fries. Today we ordered lemon pepper wings and the new orange chicken wings. Neither had any sauces/seasonings on them expect for fresh parsley. They tasted identical to each other so I guess they just gave us plain chicken wings? Unlikely to return and can’t recommend

A great stop if you're looking for something quick to eat. There's a variety of bowls and salads and the chicken is soft and crispy. I tried the katsu salad and the portion was huge!
