50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Alhambra

“Our food was exceptionally delicious! Wonderful flavors and delicious cucumber mint agua fresca too! Also fun, cozy atmosphere inside too. You can tell when you’re there it’s a very popular eatery, and for good reason! I’ve been there twice in as many weeks and I can’t wait to go again! 😁“

“I ordered the boneless honey garlic chicken for dinner. It tasted great! There was a good amount of glaze on each piece and the batter was still nice and crunchy even though we had it 30 minutes after picking it up from the store. Best part is it’s mess free and easy to eat because it’s boneless.“

“Absolutely amazing. After a disappoint go at the Mancoras peruivian cuisine on main, I found this place in walking distance. Gave it a shot and the chicken is amazing. The #1 recommendation is have is the #1 Chicken sandwich (white or dark meat) it's by far the best chicken sandwich I've had. Easily blowing Raising Canes and all other chicken sandwich establishments out of the park. The balance between each ingredient was spot on and I could easily devour multiple of these in one sitting due to how good it is. 100% recommend this place.

Side note, for any people planning to eat here. Order ahead of time (sometimes it can take 30+ minutes) and avoid the wraps, go for the chicken on the bun instead. It's vastly superior because the wraps seem to be poorly constructed. The wraps seem to be overflowing with sauce which makes the wrap soft and weak so its, hard to hold let alone eat, without it breaking apart in your hands“

“Best chicken, just wish they could handle the flow of people. At least the Alhambra, Ca location is not setup to handle the amount of people in line at a decent turn around.“

“My experience at Ace Burger today was nothing short of amazing! I ordered the chicken tenders, fries, and corn on the cob, and everything was a perfect 10. The chicken tenders especially stood out—they had the perfect amount of spice and breading. On top of the fantastic food, the woman who made the food and the gentleman (I believe they’re the owners) were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. Their kindness made the visit even more special. Wishing much success to this wonderful place!!

P.S. Food was so good I forgot to take pictures 😂❤️“

“When this location opened in late 2021, I was pretty ecstatic as their nearest location to me was all the way in West Covina. Pretty happy that they finally have a location not too far away whenever I was craving Jollibee. The vibe here is pretty typical of any fast food establishment. My partner though has ran into some troubles of online orders being canceled for no apparent reason.

This specific location is great. Never really had any problems with them on my occasional visits. Drive through is quick and staff is pretty quick and professional with order as well inside. There's also online ordering which is great to avoid any wait times. My partner and I both use the app whenever we order to gain rewards points. Highly recommend checking that out if you order often.

My go to order here is the 2pc chickenjoy with a side of spaghetti combo, which comes with a drink, apple pie and a biscuit. The chicken here is very underrated in my opinion, super tasty, crunchy, and always full of flavor. It also comes with a cup of gravy which you dip with the chicken and just adds tons of flavor that you don't really find at other chicken places. The spaghetti is also underrated, filled with some sausages and sauce, it's a good compliment to the chicken and is pretty fulfilling.

Overall, Very happy that they've added a Jollibee that's not too far from where I reside. Love that this location has a quick drive through and their food is pretty standard from all the other locations that I've been to. Although nothing over the top since it's a fast food chain, Always a decent chain to visit if you've never tried their unique style of fried chicken.“

“First time coming here. Went to the drive thru and was very impressed with how fast the order was given to me after ordering. Got home and my family were all very happy with the chicken. Chicken was tasty and cooked well. Sides were also very good.“

“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“The family and I decided to stop by and grab Mediterranean food and my husband brought me by his spot he has been going to for 1 yeah or+ years. Upon entering you get greeted by the sweetest owner and staff. The menu is quite extensive and has variety of things from kabob plates to wraps; then burgers and vegetarian options. I ended up getting the lamb and beef kabob plate with hummus and rice. I also got a side of falafel and some fries to share with the family. The hubby got the beef kabob plate and we shared with the girls. Portions were quite filling and more then enough for our family , hummus was so good. Everything is fresh and house made to the sauces that come with it. The garlic being some of my favorite. This family owned place serves really good food and made sure the family was fed and happy. Definitely recommend and absolutely coming back.“

“Great chicken sandwich and fries! Fresh and hot. Great experience! This was the Gastonia NC location, very personable and friendly lady at counter.“

“This place deserves every bit of attention it’s getting. Still the best after all these years.“

“Excellent Food and Outstanding Service!

I had an amazing experience at this Juan Pollo! The food was absolutely delicious — the chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, with just the right amount of seasoned flavor. The sides were fresh and flavorful, especially the potato salad, which has to be the BEST potato salad out there.

What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They made sure everything was to my liking and served everything quickly with a smile.

Juan Pollo offers not just great food, but also a warm, friendly atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality food and exceptional service!“

“Came in during a busy time and was a bit hangry, however the staff was amazing. Ray and Manny one of the few amazing workers showed such hospitality it instantly lifted my mood and made me feel so welcomed to eat here thank you guys so much for your service!“

“Great experience here today. Claudia and the kitchen crew were amazing. There was a bit of a wait because it was the lunch hour, but Claudia more than made up for the wait time with her incredible customer service. Food was delicious as well.“

“Delicious food, fried chicken 🐔 the bomb and the pickled veggies are so good. Definitely a place to go in the DTLA area.“

“This place is truly a hidden gem. The chicken is always so flavorful, and their salsa never misses! it’s consistently delicious every single time. Honestly, it beats a lot of the big chain spots. We love coming here, and the prices are very reasonable. Portions are generous too, we almost always leave with leftovers for the next day.“

“I’ve always loved Jollibee because it’s more than fried chicken—it’s a little taste of home. The juicy, crispy Chickenjoy, the familiar flavors, and that warm Filipino hospitality have always taken me straight down memory lane to the Philippines. 🇵🇭❤️ That’s why it’s disappointing to see the San Antonio location slowly lose what makes Jollibee special. Lately, the service feels disorganized and slow, the quality seems inconsistent, and that warm Filipino welcome and atmosphere seem to be disappearing. On my most recent visit, I even received only 5 pieces of chicken when I ordered 6. Jollibee shouldn’t feel like just another busy fast-food chain. The Filipino warmth, hospitality, pride, and quality are part of the brand—and just as important as the Chickenjoy. I’m sharing this not simply to complain, but because we love Jollibee and want this location to do better. Please bring back the quality, organization, and unmistakable Filipino spirit that made us fall in love with Jollibee in the first place. We want our Jollibee back. 🇵🇭🐝❤️“

“I discovered this place through a YouTuber’s recommendation and I’m really glad I tried it. It was my first visit, and while it’s easy to miss since there’s no sign outside, I had no trouble finding it.

We were greeted right away, ordering was simple, and the food was ready in about 10–15 minutes. The chicken was the highlight—flavorful, juicy, and very filling. The sides (sweet potato fries and coleslaw) were just okay; the fries were a bit soggy when we got home and the coleslaw was slightly too tangy for our taste.

Overall, the chicken alone makes it worth a visit. I’d definitely recommend it!“

“I just got a bowl at the new spot by USC. Juicy chicken, nice fluffy rice, The chipotle sauces are tasty and service was fast. I'll get another bowl for sure.“

“Friendly customer service. Fresh Hot Food“

“Family friendly fresh food and amazing customer service. Should out to Angelica who is patient, warm and friendly behind the counter. Just a nice easy healthy choice for a family meal.“

“*YUM* is all I have to say!! We adore this place, and friends who have moved away always beg to go here for chicken when they come home to visit. The chicken falls off the bone, their fried tofu is to die for! ������. You cannot go wrong here! But pay attention to their hours. They close mid-day for a few hours.“

“Came in as it was my first time Alissa took my order and she was amazing and had great customer service she was very helpful as it was my first time here she made it a great experience. Very clean restaurant and food was really good and fresh. Will be coming back“

“The wings is very good but that's rooster not a chicken sum people say a rooster is a chicken but that's no true a rooster is a little tuff when a chicken tast like poultry come on you guys not trying too knock BPW they're good but it's rooster not Chicken service is very good“

“best chicken I Have ever had. loved it! Thanks“

“Just Wonderful Place To Eat At“

“Phone in your order to speed up the wait. I usually get the garlic chicken panini. It's so so so very good. Keep in mind the limited hours. I wish they were open for dinner. It's also one of the few places you can still get a copy of the Pasadena Weekly.

Parking: If you don't see a spot to park in front, just park in the back. You enter the parking lot on the west side of the building. There's always an empty parking spot in back, but not as shaded.“

“Such a great hospitality! During this difficult times I Loved the fact that today they were so special with the costumers and shared a fresh cut 🌹.“

“One of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever had. The honey based sauce is to die for. The food slaps hard. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“Now that I have eaten WildBird Chicken 🐔 I currently cannot eat any other chicken. The quality and presentation of the food is so appetizing. Everyone in the office asks your food smells and looks so delicious 😋 where did you get your lunch. Delicious. Keep up the good 👍/ hard work.“

“We stopped by Holdaak Fried Chicken and were really impressed! The chicken tenders were fresh, hot, and perfectly crispy without being greasy. The sauces were also delicious and paired so well with the chicken. You can definitely tell they put care into the food. If you’re looking for great fried chicken, I’d definitely recommend giving them a try. Support your local mom and pop businesses.“

“Excellent service from all staff, clean area, food the best chicken around the neighborhood, The manager Ms. Valle very professional and excellent efficient service and customer service, Jose amazing customer service Thank You all staff, see you next time.“

“Foods on point 🙌🏽 drove 22 hours just to eat this ❤️“

“Awesome place! Crispy outside and tender on the inside, with good packaging to make sure it doesn't get soggy. The Yangyeom is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, but the original is good too. Will try the buldak next time. Highly recommended.“

“Stopped by bb.q Chicken in Temple City for a pickup order and had a really good experience.

I ordered the Feel Crunch Wings and Soy Garlic Wings. Both were really good! The Feel Crunch Wings were nice and crispy with a satisfying crunch, while the Soy Garlic Wings had that savory, slightly sweet garlic flavor that makes you keep reaching for another piece. I also liked that the wings stayed crispy even after bringing them home.

But what really stood out was the lady working at the counter. She was extremely friendly, polite, and helpful. Even though this was just a pickup order, she made me feel welcomed and provided genuinely great customer service. Sometimes it’s the small interactions that leave the biggest impression, and she definitely deserves to be recognized!

Food was ready, everything was packed nicely, and the whole pickup process was quick and smooth.

Great chicken + great customer service = easy 5 stars. Definitely coming back!“

“muy bien, lo recomiendo es buena. sólo que hay una que me atendió se puso un poco prepotente pero salió bien“

“Ok so I like thier setup inside the have the grill out separately with a blower taking out the smoke out of the location so you don't leave smelling like charcoal...they're menu is good several options and at least a couple of their plates come with a half baked potato which I really wasn't expecting but I loved it....chicken was cooked throughly no red meat...tasted good....sides are good but macaroni salad tasted food but needs something I added salt...aguas frescas were running low got one tasted good but prevention was lacking they were down to the last cup in those big jugs they need machines or something that circulates the waters keeping them looking as good as they taste...but parking is a little crazy got blocked in but an employee came out when inside and asked one of the other customers to move their car for me...the place just needs to have the ac on but overall the food was really good....service was good but they do get busy....expect a 15 to 20 minute wait on busy days...pick your time wisely but definitely this spot should be on your radar...“

“I had the all white meat Hainan Chicken plate. Everything was absolutely delicious. I’m definitely coming back. I highly recommend this place.“

“Juicy, flavorsome fried chicken! Always well-seasoned and with just enough kick. I like the thigh and breast pieces most and the value packs are usually great value. Also really like the fried jumbo shrimp and the banana pudding. Service is friendly and cheerful. Overall, one my favorite spots in town!

Parking in the lot can be a challenge when things are busy but street parking is pretty easy if you need to look for it.“

“I absolutely love the flavor of this chicken. Great customizable heat. I've ordered both the mild and the medium and both are delicious. Tiny little hole in the wall so I always get the order to go. My only issue is the chicken portion seems to keep getting a tad smaller with each visit. Probably more a sign of the times than an actual complaint.“

“바삭바삭한 후라이드, 매콤한 양념치킨과 입맛을 확 당기는 간장치킨. 중학교 시절 나에게 첫 치느님의 문을 열어준 건 치킨데이였다. 치킨데이 왕자님의 인맥을 통해 가끔씩 공짜로 얻어먹던 닭들은 나에게 있어 얘기치 못한 즐거움, 마치 공원에 누워 네잎클로버를 찾는 행운이었다. 하지만 10년이 지난 지금 난 깨달았다. 치킨데이는 네잎클로버가 아니란걸. 한국에 와서 내노라하는 네네 스노윙, BHC 뿌링클, 굽네 고추바사삭 치킨을 먹어봐도 내 마음속 한 구석엔 늘 채워지지 않는 공허함이 자리잡고 있었다. 맛은 있지만 정이 없는, 뒷마당에서 키우던 강아지를 보신탕으로 먹으면 이런 맛이었을까? 그래서 이 리뷰를 통해 치킨데이에게 사과의 말을 전하고 싶다. 너가 최고라는 걸 깨닫기까지 10년이나 걸려서 미안하다고. 너는 행운의 네잎클로버가 아닌 항상 내 발밑에 자리잡고 있던 행복의 세잎클로버라고.“

“I love the choice between fried and roasted chicken. Chicken was flavorful and good next day. I like plantains, rice and those beans were oh so good!! The yucca fries unfortunately were not, bland and didn't feel cooked thru. I ordered both a family and individual meal and requested rolls instead of tortillas. When I got home, there was only one roll and no tortillas. So insulting and luckily I had tortillas as home but i was so bummed, because the roll was really good. I'll come back, but next time. I'm making sure those damn rolls are in there!“

“Chicken is not greasy and their potatoe and macaroni salads are good too :)“

“está bien buenas las ensaladas y las papas riquísimas👍👍👍👍“

“Excellence.. ..services! Amigos paisanos de mucha gente trabajadora....saludos!“

“I live near by and was my first time coming to the restaurant. Atmosphere is amazing along with staff, I had struggled to choose from the menu and the worker was so patient and helped me by recommending what’s popular and what I prefer. It was two staff members named Maria T and Monica, they are really great people. You guys have really great staff members.“

“Ever since my wife showed me this place I just couldn’t stop !! It’s cooked so perfectly and juicy. And the skin taste is so good. The sides are perfectly matched. You get rice beans and potatoe salad with your rotisserie chicken. And I get the pickled onions in habanero I believe they are. So bomb !! Definitely get your fix here I recommend it!“

“I am coming here from last 5 years and I love this place.“
