50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Arcadia

“Cluck2Go is the best! I love Hainan Chicken Rice, it is my go to comfort food, my work out meal, and my favorite restaurant. I am so glad they just opened this new arcadia location, right next to my office. btw. their sauces are amazing!!!“

“Great employees and manager at this location. The food was great. The bathroom is locked and you do have to get an employer to open it but that makes sense given the homelessness issue in the area and I'm 100% in support of that choice.“

“Tried the limited edition Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and it was super tasty and not that spicy (thankfully) the sandwich had 2 tenders and some pickles inside. It had lots of flavor and super soft and juicy texture. The fries were also very good, nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The grandma sauce is their signature and quite tasty.“

“Came here this past Wednesday with my parents after hearing great things from a friend about Soonheene and Twozone Chicken. Soonheene actually started in Seoul’s famous Gwangjang Market where they were known for their pancakes, so I was excited to check it out.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Esther (the owner) and her daughter. They both went out of their way to explain the menu and answer all my questions with genuine smiles. That kind of hospitality really sets the tone for a meal.

We ordered the Pork Mungbean Pancake, Rose Tteokbokki (creamy rice cakes with fish cake and sausage), Bibim-Naengmyeon (spicy cold buckwheat noodles), and a whole fried chicken split into two flavors. Everything we ordered was delicious and tasty. For half the chicken, I went with the original but added green onion and their special oriental sauce drizzle. The other half was spicy soy garlic. I’ll admit, I liked the original better. I second-guessed myself when the owner’s daughter mentioned soy garlic was their number one most popular flavor followed by honey butter, but I thought I would be different and try the spicy version. The spice kind of drowned out that garlicky soy flavor, so lesson learned. Next time I am going straight for the soy garlic and honey butter combo.

For drinks, we tried the Korean coffee and cold yuzu drink, both refreshing and a nice complement to the food. By the end of the meal, everything was so good that I even found myself asking about catering their chicken for future events.

The vibe inside is really comfortable with soft K-pop playing in the background. It is just enough for atmosphere but not too loud, so you can talk easily. The only tricky part is parking since it is in a busy plaza with a lot of other restaurants, but at least it is free.

Overall, this was one of the most unique dining experiences we have had recently, made extra special by Esther and her daughter’s hospitality. I love supporting family-owned spots like this, and I will definitely be back to try that famous soy garlic and honey butter chicken next time.“

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

“Best Chicken in all of town. Extra Spicy is always a perfect blend of almost too hot and not hot enough. This location always delivers. Shout out to Johnathan. He's been working here for the longest and always has top tier customer service. Johnathan for manager. Dave's Hot Chicken for the trophy 🏆 Enjoy.“

“Very nice discovery looking for something new and well rated. We found out when we got in with a Lima style pollo a la brasa smell that it was a peruvian place. Great quality, authentic seasoning, not greasy, nice staff. They also do many peruvian style sandwich, estilo La Lucha. Great spot, great value. Would be perfect without plastic utensils not so convenient to go over half chicken beyond the environmental impact.“

“Abdy was excellent and guided us with some great choices! Dave hot chicken tenders and sliders are awesome and what's amazing also is their kale slaw! We will be back as Abdy was great and food was fresh and tasty. Felt cozy and comfortable.“

“The breaded Shrimp with rice, beans and the brown sauce! Just like the good ole’ days!“

“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!“

“Main Chick Hot Chicken in Pasadena is 🔥 🔥 🔥 meaning 😋 Always fresh and thier chicken taste tasty & crisp! Only drawback is that this particular Nain Chick don't have the seating so either you order togo, uses ubereats or the Doordash! Whichever, their food was amazing & you will be happy!“

“the food is amazing and testing is great 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“best chicken ever tender ,juicy crunchy! mmm!“

“*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.“

“One of the best lunch specials in L.A.

Lunch special: 2 piece chicken, rice & beans, xtra side, 2 tortillas, medium drink.

Total: 8.88$

It’s not only a deal, it’s filling, it’s incredibly good, it’s an institution.
Try all these new trendy places all you want but make sure you show love to local places like this.“

“I was craving for Korean fried chicken, and happened to be in Alhambra. This was my go to Korean fried chicken place. I ordered via scanning a QR code, which was convenient. I got wings with Secret sauce and Honey Garlic sauce. Service was fast, and servers were friendly. I like the honey garlic the most, and I could not stop eating until I finished all the wings.“

“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! 😁“

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE“

“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“

“The food here is pretty good! My friends and I got the Bulgolgi Poutine, Rose Ddeok-Bokki, and the Honey Garlic Wings. I definitely recommend the honey garlic wings, it's super good! The service was great as well-- our server was so sweet and kind, she made sure we were okay. The place is somewhat spacious, there's lots of tables there!“

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

“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.“

“Was craving fried chicken came across this place. Really had a great selection on the menu. Prices were very reasonable but most importantly, the food was grade A! I got some chicken drumsticks with some waffle fries and it didn't disappoint. Definitely coming back.“

“I ordered Combo number one they were decent size sliders came a coleslaw and pickles it was absolutely amazing I got hot Flavor. The fries had a really nice season on ate every single bite I was full and I was happy this is way better than Dave's hot chicken. If you haven't tried it do yourself a favor and go. Did I mention it's a little cheaper than most hot chicken places. The girl is kinda cute too“

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

“The chicken joy are awesome. I suggest to put an extra sauce on the spaghetti... look pale“

“The fried pickles were really good! We loved them! All of our meals were really good. The chicken was tasty. The BLT had a good amount of crispy bacon crisp lettuce. The garlic aioli was yummy. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.“

“he'll mf yea this place is amazing. best tasting chicken sandwiches! real spice if u can handle the heat“

“The employees here are very nice always have this place clean. Thank you for your hospitality always I love coming here so much I almost win a family dinner with all the points I have. Love this place this the best chicken my kids n I LOVE IT!!“

“Chicken was very good, will be back. Next time going to try the shrimp, I hear that is also very good.“

“This spot sells mesquite grilled chicken as a street stall. Prices are reasonable and their seasoning is SO good. Very good street food.

their chicken was charred and cooked perfectly, still juicy with each bite.

Included is: Grilled peppers, some salsa which was light and easy to dip, grilled tortillas, pickled peppers and onions, Spanish rice, and some of the best beans I've had. Beans were smoky sweet and flavorful with chicharron inside.

Would come back for some bomb grilled chicken that's for sure!

Entire chicken and all the sides were only $23. Cash or zelle accepted

Parking: Near the food4less“

“This is the first time I've bought food here, I ordered last minute.. the food was freshed the chicken is seasoned well, big pieces.. I was very surprised,and oil fried... I recommend this place and a good price it wasn't expensive..“

“I partook of their mango habanero and ghost pepper wings when they were set up in front of the bruery tasting room and was very impressed. They have tasty well seasoned party wings and when they say spicy they're not lying. Try the corn! They are making magic with simple ingredients.“

“Kfc is so good that I wish I could eat it everyday (well not everyday) ;-)“

“We at the Sierra Madre Rose float saw on Facebook that this is the new secret place in town with awesome chicken. WOW! NO JOKE! Its got a souther kick to it, packed with flavor, and a good price point. Who would have thought dinner from a gas station makes you want to keep going back.

Guys, for real, dont sleep on this. Go get some chicken! Also, they start serving at i think 10am. Worth it!“

“Bombdizzle“

“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 😂❤️“

“It was a very nice experience visiting this KFC in my home town. The service was very efficient. Very friendly. 👏“

“ots really good i havent had any bad experiences their. the food is really good spicy. chicken my favorite. Mac & cheese. Your in and your out. i like it must try“

“Soo delicious, stopped by this location coming down from Big Bear. Had been craving it all weekend, and it didn't disappoint. Everything was delicious, from the Pollo, to the frijoles, arroz, and ensalada de papa.. my mouth is watering writing this review, super sad I don't have a Juan pollo closer to Compton.“

“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.“

“The spicy sauce is everything. I love their chicken tenders they are nice, moist, and crispy. The fries are really good crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They have two sauces and both are great. The texas toast is super delicious. Recommend this place for their great and amazing food.“

“One of the few places to get grilled chicken, but with all the people working inside still simple orders and requests are wrong. Always check your bag.
4/2023 update. Grilled is gone ? best service was fast, and food was hot! Do u have a tip jar!“

“Original chicken is good, I didn't find that the gravy enhanced it, the fried chicken is good enough on its own.
The spaghetti is not awful, but I would say that it's an acquired taste. Spaghetti that sweet isn't my preference.“

“I use to go too the one on Beverly in montebello. But is closed down now. Came to this location it’s my 3rd time here. I was amazed on the service! The guy that helped me had a smile on his face the whole time with a good attitude like it should be! So many fast food chains lost that! Blessing’s to you my friend!“
