Halal Fried Chicken - HFC — Restaurant in Sunnyvale

love fried chicken. tried the best in louisiana, even went to the original kfc location in kentucky. but this place, man. the coating is decent, lets just say that. the flavor is ok, but leaves alot to be desired. the sauces are well, one is basically a copy of what chic fil a gives you and the other is a less than interesting indian inspired bbq sauce? 8pcs chicken with 2 sides for roughly $27. coleslaw wasn't bad, but the fries oh man. check out the picture i took, my god a side of fries should be more than bottom of the barrel soggy couple measly french fries. and when they say each order comes with brioche, they mean a single artesano brioche bun chopped up. i really wanted to like this place. unfortunately its a no. i really just can't, sometimes i'm thinking why did i even try this in the first place. but hey, if you enjoy a side of a couple soggy french fries and lazy customer service (ppl walked out while i was waiting for my food due to no cashier, i feel this place is patronized by a cult-like following that doesn't question it since it's halal and maybe there aren't too many halal food places to begin with.) anyway, the fried chicken is somewhere in the bottom 5 of the top 10 best fried chicken imo, but the rest is less than interesting. again the cole slaw isn't bad, the fries aren't great, the chicken is decent, but it just doesn't have that kick or flavor compared to other places nearby. i probably already eat too much fried chicken as is so when i do decide to patronize a place that seems excellent and then isn't, well it's just puts a damper on peoples hopes. oh here's a fun fact, they don't have a proper box for an 8pc chicken so they stuff it in a smaller box almost air tight so the chicken doesn't stay crispy. they should be using a proper bucket type container or something larger. got home and the bread and fries were all smashed into the chicken, crust was soggy and basically everything was one cohesive soggy square, plopped out the container like goop. yea, fun times. im not going back...

Very, very disappointed. Today, I decided to give them a try after so much hearing about this place. I was in Livermore area and coming back to San Jose and decided to pick up some food from them for Iftar. Keep in mind I had a lot of good options on my way home, in Livermore and Fremont area but I decided to try them out. I checked their hours online which states that they are open 11:30 - 8:30 everyday except Monday's. I got there around 3:30pm and guess what THEY WERE CLOSED. Sign was hanging at the entrance door "Sorry, we are closed". I was so frustrated and left disappointed. It's a bad customer service and never going back again to this place. If they've changed their hours they should have updated their hours online so people don't waste their time and have up to date...
