Call a Chicken

About

Located in the heart of Seattle’s U-District at 4237 University Wy NE, Call a Chicken has become a recognizable fixture for students and locals seeking a quick, budget-friendly bite. This fast-food spot specializes in Asian-style fried chicken, offering a menu that ranges from crispy wings and hearty sandwiches to generously portioned wraps. With a solid 4.4 rating across hundreds of reviews, the restaurant draws in diners who appreciate the nostalgic, authentic flavors reminiscent of after-school snacks, often paired with a selection of fresh fruit yogurt drinks and boba tea prepared at an in-store stall. The atmosphere leans into a casual, "hole-in-the-wall" vibe, where patrons can pass the time with board games while waiting for their orders—a process punctuated by the shop's signature rooster-sound notification.
