    Best fried chicken I've had in a very, very long time! Starbird (I had never heard of them before) opened 4 days ago in the Marina and I finally got there today. It is in a very convenient spot with tons of free parking. When a restaurant is mobbed...it is a great recommendation already. And it was constantly mobbed. Their chicken is crispy outside and tender and juicy inside, very, very yummy. And not greasy! The salad was very tasty and very fresh. The french fries were steaming hot and crispy, with just the right amount of salt...I'm getting hungry again just writing this and thinking back about my meal. The staff was super-friendly and super helpful, two things that are very much appreciated these days! They were also super-efficient: from order to a ready meal it was only a couple of minutes! I also loved the fact that you can take a picture of your meal and post it and they donate a meal to the Regional Food Bank—I think that is just awesome. And each table has the sign with the QR code to make it quick and easy for you to post. All in all, I loved this place! It's a definite keeper and I will be coming back a lot. I can’t recommend it enough...go try it out!!!

    Great new fried chicken place in Marina del Rey. I really enjoyed the Starbird 2.0 sandwich. The chicken had a great crunch from the coating, but also the slaw on top. Their sauces are really good and they let you order as many as you want. I think they have 12 different flavors. The fries were nothing special, so maybe next time I can try one of their loaded fries for more flavor. I got the truffle fries and they were fine. They were supposed to come with truffle aioli, but they forgot to give that to me.

    The juiciest, tastiest chicken tenders I've ever had! The portions are also huge. I wanted to try both the garlic lemon tender and the Thai. Opted for the 3 piece Thai box with a side of elote instead of fries, then a single garlic tender. The flavors were amazing for both! My only suggestions would be for the elote to be served warm (came cold in the cup) and for the restaurant to not line the box with paper. With all the sauce the paper disintegrates and sticks to the chicken. Pretty sure I ate a piece
