Surf Up Chicken is a family-owned restaurant in the Westfield UTC Food Court serving crispy fried chicken, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, chicken bowls, and sandwiches in La Jolla, San Diego. Founded by U.S. Navy veteran Endeavour Shen, we use hand-cut, never-frozen chicken that is marinated for two days, freshly breaded, and cooked to order for maximum flavor and crunch. Our American fusion sauces and commitment to fresh ingredients make every meal memorable. Whether you're shopping at UTC or looking for the best crispy chicken near UC San Diego, we look forward to serving you!
