I have driven many times past Plant Chicken and I always noticed how busy the foot traffic was for the restaurant. After over 25 years, I finally asked my wife if she would like to try Planet Chicken and she agreed after reviewing their menu. Planet Chicken is simple, casual, and cozy eatery with delicious comfort food. It is a refreshing change from the chains! They offer warm, friendly, and fast customer service. Upon entering the establishment, we were immediately greeted by a very friendly host/server, Jesus who quickly seated us. He was very pleasant, professional, friendly and very attentive. He immediately brought out our our beverages- a bottle of Chica Limena Passion Fruit Drink and a can of Coke... both with no ice. Jesus had a welcoming demeanor and genuine friendly smile. Jesus was SPECTACULAR and his customer service skills were OUTSTANDING! In short, he really made for a great dinner experience!

For an entree, my wife had Bistec a lo Probe and I had the Chaufa Mixto. Everything was absolutely delicious and both meals were prepared, portioned, and cooked to perfection. Their spicy green sauce is the bomb and I could not help putting small portions on everything that I ate. We generally do not eat fries but their spicy green sauce made them taste so good! We usually DO NOT order dessert but the food was so delicious that we tried the Tres Leches which was not too sweet like most cakes, it was perfect. We inquired what most of the regulars were drinking... Jesus brought us a complimentary glass of Chica Morada Lt which was freshly homemade and oh so good! We will definitely be returning here when we are in the Middlesex County area! By the way, call before you go and ensure that Jesus is working and request him as your Server upon your arrival. In short, Planet Chicken offers delicious food and Jesus is the...

I've been going to this restaurant since I was 8 years old. I am now 23. My family and I have always promoted this restaurant to friends, relatives, and co-workers. Today is Father's day and I asked my dad where would he like us to get him for lunch. He first said Red lobster but then said lets go to Planet chicken thinking hey it's always good, people are friendly, and it's always a good time. Literally WORST experience ever. The waiters were so Rude and disrespectful. Literally got annoyed when we asked him for green sauce, when we asked for a few more minutes to think about our order (restaurant was empty), and when we asked for to go plates. His attitude was so horrible. Like we didn't even want to ask for more drinks or food so we wouldn't get his bad vibes at our table. I guess only go to this place when its packed only time they're nice. I was thinking hey maybe he's mad he's working on father's day..... He's...

My husband and I went to this place because we love Peruvian food and the ratings were great, however, although we went once, the food was dull and tasteless. We began with salchipapa, typically made with a pink sauce. The menu described the sauce came with the sauce but it didn't, we were given the ingredients to make it ourselves. We also ordered the beef lomo saltado and it lacked seasoning as well as the sauce that is customarily made with it. The dish seemed like it was cooked in a rush. I make this dish at home and my experience here was not good, the food was dry and just not good. As far as service our server was not attentive, we couldn't find him and did not see him again after he toon our order. Obviously this doesn't attest to the rest of the other waiters, but with our waiter, it...

Only Peruvians can tell if the food is authentic Peruvian cuisine. This place is a fiasco starting with the roasted chicken,( Dry, chewy , old, re-hit it, burn, )the green sauce( was like mayo, instead of huacatay flavor ) if something was fresh I can tell were the fries, even without salt. If a simple easy pollo a la braza was horrible, I won’t try the rest of the menu. The servers were Mexican , when I complained, they were mute, no interest on fixing or asking what they can do to serve you better. Nothing!! Only the decorations are from Peru. This is a warning ⚠️it looks like this place get rid of the leftovers from the weekend on Mondays. So you get what I got. I’ll give it 1 star ⭐️ . and wish you a good luck with your stomach and wallet.

Well everyone enjoyed their meals, every thing was fresh and flavorful. However no cancha or canchita for having authentic Purvian Restaurant lacking such a basic dish was very very disappointing this is why they only get 4 Stars overall. But everything else was great presentation and flavor. If you out in the area and want a good Puruvian food stop by and make your own review. They also are not wheelchair accessible. It would not take much for them to make it happen.
