Today our daily food truck was Chick’n Fix. They claim to be Filipino American cuisine. The staff of the truck where very pleasant and it appears very clean, not scary to order from. They have a few Filipino dishes on the menu but the majority feels more American. I ordered the chicken wings w/a sweet/spicy sauce and the rosemary garlic fries. You get 5 wings and ½ the amount of fries you would get from an order of fries. Total was $ 8.50. So moderate pricing for a food truck. The wings where fried very well. No crispy skin but not soggy. The sauce was kind of bland. More sweet than spicy which was disappointing. The fries where crisp and fresh with occasional notes of rosemary, but almost no garlic. Honestly they where more just fries. I got there chick sauce which is ketchup + mayo + horseradish. Once again the horseradish was no where to be found. They also offer the stock banana ketchup, sweet sauce and an ok BBQ sauch. For a quick lunch they are ok. A bit overpriced for me to go back.

Okay, I don’t know how helpful my review will be because I am only basing this on the Garlic Rosemary Fries I had. I already ate lunch, but had seen this food truck was coming, so checked on Unilocal for reviews and pictures. I saw the pictures of the fries, and just had to try them. For $ 3.50, I would say it was a good amount of fries. They have different sides of sauce that they offer, and I asked for the Banana Ketchup. Couldn’t tell why it was called Banana Ketchup, but it said it had a hint of chipotle in it, which must have been a very tiny hint, because I didn’t see it. But I really enjoyed the fries. They were exactly the kind of crispiness I like, and the skinny kind of fries that I like. It wasn’t salty or too garlicky, but I would prefer it to be a little more seasoned. Maybe when I didn’t already have lunch, or feel like going back to work a few pounds heavier, I will try a whole meal next time.

Portion sizes are huge, so it’s a good deal even if the food is so-so. I got the combo meal for $ 10 so I could try everything. Had to wait about 30 minutes for it behind a crowd of Amazonians, but everything was fresh. You get two sauces — I went for the Chickn Fix Ketchup and Mesquite BBQ. BBQ was average, the ketchup had a nice amount of horseradish and added a lot of flavor to everything. The chicken was the main highlight. Each strip is about 1⁄3 of a chicken breast, so they’re super hearty. Crispy breading, juicy tender meat, but it could have definitely used a bit more seasoning. Bring salt and pepper packets if you can. Otherwise, it’s great. Lumpia are basically just great chicken eggrolls. The bola bola are essentially fried spanish rice balls with bits of chicken, although I couldn’t really taste the chicken over the rice. Wasn’t really a big fan. Chick’n Fix adds rosemary to their fries, which I found interesting. Halfway through my chicken tender I was beginning to wonder if I was eating fried rotisserie chicken, but then I looked at the fries. It was just odd for me to have that strong herb taste when all I wanted was grease and breading. And there’s a LOT of grease and breading. I’m sitting here now in the aftermath, slightly regretting my decisions and wishing I had a fruit smoothie or a nice salad to balance it out. But if I can guarantee anything about Chick’n Fix, it’s that it won’t leave you hungry.

I had the combo(everything) and it was all very good. Not mind blowing, but very good.

I’ve been here twice, both time has been great. The food is fresh and packed with flavor. Even with a long line the service is quick and friendly. I’ve tried all if the main dishes but the lumpia and chicken are my favorite. The Bola Bola was good, just not my thing. Definitely a place to stop if you see them around.

I tried them at a food truck festival and had the Bola Bola(crispy crumb coated chicken & rice balls). I’m not really sure what I was expecting other than it sounded interesting but the fried rice balls I got didn’t have any chicken. The rosemary garlic fries on the other hand was delicious.

I ordered the combo to try all the fried goodness. Overall, it was very tasty, filling, and fast. Service was quick, and they saw that I was disabled and bagged up my order(without me even asking) so I wouldn’t risk spilling it on my way back to my office. Little things like that really make a difference for me. The chicken tender was outstanding. The chicken was moist and tender, not dried out like most fast food chicken tenders. Some may find the breading to be a bit bland, but I appreciated that the chicken took took center stage and the meat itself had plenty of flavor. The bola bola(fried chicken and rice ball) was also excellent, with a nice kick. I’m a wimp when it comes to spice, so I approve of the bola bolas going for flavor and not just heat. The lumpia(chicken taquito/eggroll) and fries were good, but really overshadowed by the other items. If all I’d had was a lumpia plate I’d have enjoyed it, but now I’m torn trying to decide what to get next time… Combo again, chicken tenders, or bola bola?

Chick’n Fix frequents our work’s parking lot every once in awhile, and a couple months ago(I know, a late review — boo!) I decided to try them out. Why? Because my colleagues were eating there, and the delicious smell of chicken goodness and those rosemary fries permeated the office. Not knowing exactly what I wanted, I got the combo so I could try each of their 3 «mains»(bola bola, chicken fingers, & lumpia). The chicken strips are made of real white chicken breast, and are incredibly juicy and tender(no pun intended). However, my only criticism is that the breading on the chicken(which is hand dipped, btw) was relatively flavorless. The bola bola were good, and I loved the lumpia. I tried them again, only to sample the rice salad and I believe I had the lumpia again. The rice salad is a nice contrast to the crunchy fried goodness that comes with the 3 «mains», and was a refreshing side. I like that there is a choice! The service is always relatively quick, and super duper friendly. Prices are definitely on point, which makes this«treat» feel really affordable and of excellent value. Thanks, Chick’n Fix!

I consider myself a chicken tender connoisseur. The chicken tenders here are good I still think something is lacking. I am fan of the famous Ezells tender so that could be the reason. These tenders lack flavor in my opinion. Maybe pepper or spicy… Price is right. The worst, they offer rice to replace your fries?! Seriously that does not make sense I almost flipped the truck when she asked me that.

There are days when I try to do better — to eat a salad or a healthy sandwich with lots of fresh vegetables and lean meat piled high on it. And then there are the days when I want to indulge, to forget eating«healthy,» to have ALL the fried things! For those days, I’m glad that the Chick’n Fix food truck makes frequent visits to my neck of Seattle. I generally go for the Combo meal — fried chicken strips, lumpia, and little round balls of fried goodness known as «bola bola» — all are delicious and usually just what’s needed, served up with a healthy portion of hot french fries. The service is amazingly fast and unfailingly friendly, and I’m left feeling satisfied… and maybe just a little ashamed at how quickly I’ve devoured the whole thing. To my friends who stay true to their healthy diets: I admire you, and I’m sorry that sometimes I’m not as strong as you are. But when there’s such goodness to be had at places like Chick’n Fix, can you blame me for not being able to resist?

I’m not sure why this food truck doesn’t have more good reviews here. Went there yesterday and tried almost everything(they were out of their dessert) and loved it all, I wanted to give them 5 stars! Their prices were reasonable, good food served quickly and warm. Their brown rice is nice and savory with some cilantro, tomato and green onions to brighten each bite. Their lumpia was super tasty and crisp, could have had more of those. My favorite were the bolas, chicken and rice deep fried balls. Their are cheesy chicken and rice goodness coated with breadcrumbs and fried. I could eat those all day. Their sauces were also really good, loved their BBQ and house sauce, tangy with a small kick. Only reason I gave them 4 stars was because of the chicken strips. For a place called Chick’n Fix, I was hoping for more crunch and bigger pieces, they were pretty pitiful. Otherwise, will definitely be back.

I’d really give them a 3.5 star. I had the combo plate which includes 2 lumpia, a chicken strip, and a fried rice ball over a special brown rice. The star of the dish was the lumpia, it was very tasty, perfect lumpia. The brown rice was also good, with tomato, cilantro, and spices. The fried rice ball was good, just a little greasy for my tastes. And the chicken strip was ok, not offensive, but unremarkable. Could probably use some seasoning. Good friendly service. Overall I feel like I got my money’s worth, but not something I think I would crave. I’d come back for the lumpia and rice for sure though if I was in the mood.
