Five Star Chicken, a small fried chicken business based in Vallejo, is preparing to open a new restaurant on San Pablo Avenue in Richmond, filling a storefront that has been empty for years.
The new outlet will move into the long-closed H. Salt Fish & Chips building, a familiar spot along the busy corridor. It sits next to the well-known Flora de Jalisco food truck and across from the headquarters of the Richmond Progressive Alliance. A few blocks north, another chicken option, El Pollo Loco, operates in neighboring San Pablo, setting the stage for a bit of fried and grilled competition along The Avenue.
Five Star Chicken’s expansion into Richmond marks one of its first locations outside Vallejo. The restaurant has built a following for its crispy fried chicken, hearty combo plates, and affordable prices.
No official opening date has been announced, but signage has gone up at the San Pablo Avenue site, signaling that work is well underway.
