“They really need more staff for this location, there is no excuse for poor service and being out of items. Last time I visited, they had a sign saying they were short staffed. I should have just walked out and ate somewhere else. They had one very slow cashier to handle all the customers, and for the food, they were out of spicy chicken.I asked when the spicy chicken would be ready, they said until further notice. It's understandable to short staffed during the pandemic but this is a busy location and there is no exuse for not having enough staff or food. Also the food buzzer system was not working, so they just called out your name. They seemed to be backup up on orders, and several people were waiting a LONG time to get their food. My order took around 25 minutes, and the average fast food time in the area would be 5- 10 minutes.Update, they brought back spicy chicken so all is right again. Must have went on bad day, glad they improving.“
“Finally under new management. This place needed a change. Hopefully this new team brings back the good customer service they used to hav Finally under new management. This place needed a change. Hopefully this new team brings back the good customer service they used to have“
“From the start Cailyn was super helpful, incredible customer service. As a family that smokes at home we had high expectations to which they did not disappoint!Dino rib, brisket and Mac n Cheese were exceptional!The atmosphere was great, the restaurant was clean, although they didn't have waiters, the staff was helpful.Thank you Cailyn and the awesome guy with the cute hat for all your help! :)Definitely we're returning!“
“This has got to be some of the best fried chicken wings I have tried! These oven baked wings beat out some of the best fried wings I've tasted. Their flavors pack a punch in a delicious way. I really enjoyed their volcano (decently spicy), soy garlic and sweet spicy. All of the flavors were pretty fantastic. I'd skip over the fries as they have an interesting after taste. Their baguette bowl is a sweet garlic cream cheese filled bread bowl. Overall, it is a fantastic new wings spot with a lot of good options. I'd definitely come back for more.“
“This place is so cute! It reminds me of a hipster joint you would find in LA or Tokyo. They play funky music and offer happy hour everyday 8pm to close and you get $2 off munchies (their version of appetizers or small plates) and $1 off drinks. The food can be pretty spicy. For example, the drunken noodles were like a 7/10 on spice level. The boat noodle soup was loaded with robust flavor. The fried chicken wings appetizer was moist with a sweet and tangy sauce. They offer a variety of drinks from Thai tea to fresh coconut as well as unique desserts! I've been to Thailand and some of the best Thai restaurants in LA and OC and this place ranks among them for their creativity and uniqueness. The service is good and everything came out in good time. Another plus is that they provided eco-friendly to go packaging AND their water is fresh and clean! Didn't taste like tap water! I'd come back to try their other foods but make sure that the spice is not as intense.“
“The service is fast. They bring soup and rolls with butter and green sauce to the table as soon as you sit. The Lomo Salteado is perfecto. The Papa a La Huanacaina could use a bit more cheese, but that's just me. The Chaufa De Carne is super damn tasty and smoky just the way I like, but what do I know, im Mexican. I'm comparing this place to Pollo Inca and Marios so yeah. One request and this is the request for all Peruvian restaurants. Please provide your own homemade Chicha Morada. This will put you on top.“
“It was a loooong drive back to THE IE with Grandma's chicken riding shotgun. The fam better be glad I love them.Chicken was broasted to perfection! And I love the potato wedges. Crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside.“
“5 stars! Our go to order is one fried and one original (each served with choice of steamed or garlic rice and 2 sauces so you get 4 different sauces total) + two boba teas (Thai Tea and Brown Sugar are our favorites but we're working through the list lol) - all super delicious! Order on their website or call ahead for easy pick up. Fast and friendly service always at this local family business. Free street parking right out front or go east on 4th and turn south around the corner.“
“BBQ upscale fast food. Cool concept, decor and menu options. Good amount of meat for the price....especially on the plates. Included sides were small portions. Order off to the register on the side once walking in, which was confusing for a first timer. Personally, the meat was much too salty to be a regular.“
“(non edited photos) I didn't get her name but the person working today (alone) was really sweet and I hope she got tipped well. I definitely recommend this spot. I would say it's better than in and out. The spices and sauces are top tier very good. It's a small spot that has a lot of delivery options, take out, as well as a small space to dine in. They write which combo you got on the containers which is helpful. PLEASE NOTE. The drinks are not apart of the combo!! And Cajun fries (they are better) are an extra fee of $1. (Drinks are $2) they will exclude certain things if you don't want it on your burger! Which is very nice. Apple/Google pay is accepted here.Parking: It's a large parking lot for a shopping center (not that big of a shopping center it has a grocery store a few restaurants and a CVS)“
“This place has been opened for ten months - how could I have not known about this? Until my neighborhood friends recommended this place. No more making the drive in traffic out to Savoy in Alhambra when craving for Hainan chicken rice. It's a small restaurant tucked behind Popeye's fried chicken adjacent to Auntie Anne's pretzel and Jamba Juice. They have a limited menu that specializes in chicken rice. For my first try I kept it simple with Hainan chicken rice to go order. There is regular and a larger size portions. The perfectly sliced boneless chicken sits on top of ginger chicken broth flavored rice comes with minced cucumber slices, and three sauces sambal, soy sauce, and ginger sauce. There is also a small side of chicken broth. The chicken tastes clean, no MSG detected. Next time I'll be back to try the fried chicken. No cash accepted, pay by cashless credit card or Apple Pay at the kiosk.“
“These guys have dialed it in! In response to a message I recieved after my prior review I requested no seasoning and well done for my fries and wow, what an improvement! The chicken crimsons were amazing as always. 10/10 This time we tried the onion. It was kind of like an awesome blossum from outback. 9 bucks and lots of delicious crispy savory onion for the price. This place is very nice inside, I carried good out this time but, used their restroom on this visit. It is very clean and well maintained. We will be back for sure, thanks for the good eats, Crimson Coward!“
“First time here after moving to California, my cashier Saad was an amazing and friendly guy, they’re food is delicious, I especially recommend they’re black angus burger (double patty), their Nashville chicken sandwich, and their biscoff pudding.“
“I'm not a Korean chicken connoisseur, so I didnt know what to expect. Safe to say, I'm now a fan. Perfect crisp on the chicken and once you start munching, you can't stop. Service was great. They don't close the lids on to go orders when you pickup, as to keep them from not steaming in the carton and they remain CRUNCHY. Highly recommend. The only reason they don't have a line out the door is most likely the location. I invite all to pay a visit and support local eateries like this one.“
“Perfection! Got the og chicken and waffle sandwich. So yummy! The strawberry lemonade was good too. There is indoor seating and out door seating/ patio. Very clean. With nice restrooms. Staff was super nice and quick. Brought the food right to our table. I would come here again. Highly recommend“
“I've had the pleasure of dining at Noble Bird a few times now and they never disappoint. The menu is simple and yet packed full of flavor and healthy ingredients. Their fried rice is out of this world! I was taken aback at how quickly I devoured it. The Thai Noodle Salad is another one of my favorites. It was absolutely massive in size so I had it for lunch the next day. Regardless of what you order, it'll leave you thoroughly satisfied without feeling overly full. A fantastic place to dine or takeout at any time of day!“
“Very decent fried chicken, minimum service.Good for takeout orders for sure.The store is a bit small with 4 4-ppl tables. and the service is minimum, may not be the ideal dine-in option.One suggestion for the fried chicken: consider using waxed paper or something else as underlayment for the onion sauce topped chicken. The sauce is delicious but it's very water and paper underlayment got messed with chicken pieces, not a great experience.Would come back for the food but will stick to take-out only.“
“If you like El Pollo Loco, Juan Pollo, or Charo Chicken then you'll love El Pollo Dorado which imo tastes far better than the others. Their mini pack meal is around $19 for a whole chicken cut into 6 pieces, with 8 oz sides of rice, beans, and potato salad plus your choice of mild or hot salsa and tortillas. Everything my gf and I have tried has been incredible in 2 weeks we've been back twice“
“Wow. I'm so beyond thrilled to have found this tiny little gem! The food is beyond delicious. Take a trip to flavortown and enjoy the ride hahahaha this place is insanely good. I got calamari and some penne russa (I think) with chicken and it came with a salad WHICH WAS ALSO SO DARN DELICIOUS. Everything was delicious. Everything was hot. The man who I believe was the owner gave me theeee best service I could ask for after a long day of work. The place looked so cute and cozy I wish I could've stayed and dined in. Found my new favorite Italian spot in Long Beach!! Thank you so much for the amazing food and service! I will definitely be back“
“A hidden gem! The store seems to be a mom and pop store with great food! We got the huckleberry club and the cashew chicken. The price is great for the price you pay. The vegetables were the freshest ones ever! The squaw had a nice taste that paired well with the chicken. The pickles in the sandwiches were sooo good; they had a great crunch and acidity. However, it was kinda messy and the bread is a bit small for how many toppings were inside. I will definitely bc coming back!“
“I came here craving shrimp but ended up ordering fish as well to share with family. The fish (catfish) was absolutely delicious and moist. And the sauce that came with it was remoulade which was also delicious. I would come back just for the fish but I also still need to try the chicken. Definitely recommend ?Parking: There’s a tiny lot in front of the restaurant and some street parking. Might be challenging to find parking when it’s busy.“
“This is a family favorite now. The chicken is always hot, well seasoned/sauced, and the fries are bomb. You need to try the spicy galbi chicken and the mala chicken. Or if you don't want heat, their classic chicken is so crisp and moist - an excellent product. And don't skip the sides. The fries have such good crisp and texture, the tteokbeoki is so chewy.We usually do take out, order it online, and the time estimates are always spot on so we have never had a problem with cold food or things sitting too long. Highly recommend this place.“
“It's always seemed to me that chain restaurants tend to be best right after they've opened up, and that's definitely the case here. Zankou Chicken is always good but this new location seemed just slightly better than the older ones. The food came out immediately and yet it was hot and fresh, like it had just been made. My only complaint is the complaint I have about Zankou in general, which is their portion size. Their quarter dark meat chicken plates are too small, but a half chicken would be too much (and I don't like white meat anyway, so it would be wasted on me). I always leave a Zankou still somewhat hungry, and that shouldn't happen, not with the prices they're charging. Please, Zankou, offer a three-piece chicken option! Either that, or get bigger chickens! The chicken legs you use are tiny!“
“The food was served very hot and in a timely manner. The service was great/excellent. My wife and I order the chicken strips. They were very delicious. The sauce for the chicken strips were very good ?. I want to return with my extended family (sister and nephews). Overall, I had a excellent experience with the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: It's in a very friendly wheelchair area with access to multiple shops and services“
“First time coming here and despite a small mistake on my order, Aldo who attended me as cashier went out of his way to make it right!. There was a young lady working the back kitchen area who also went above and beyond to make sure my party had a great experience overall. I enjoyed the food, taste was on point, ordered a variety of items such as wings, egg n bird sandwich, grilled chicken avocado bowl, Mac salad, and banana dessert. Definitely coming back, staff was professional, and friendly.“
“We live in Idaho and always make a point to stop here when we come to visit! Chicken is cooked perfectly and the flavor combinations are incredible. On top of the amazing food, the employees are always so nice and eager to make sure you enjoy every bite.10/10!“
“Looks and smells pretty good. I tried a piece but, my daughter ate most of it. Just ok. Long wait times in the drive-thru line but, was expected as the food is made to order . I think. The staff didn't seem to be too happy or jolly. They were not rude at all but, not too cheerful.“
“Best hot chicken samich I've had in a while. Crispy light breading, thick moist tender breast ?. Hot sauce was just right. Recommend going deluxe and combo price was a reasonable 11$. Complimentary soft serve was cherry on top. Highly recommend if you're in the area.“
“Went to this place today. Saw it on the YouTube channel. I gotta say it was right on the chicken. Was flavorful? The rice was good. The beans were good the salsa. A little spicy but good. The macaroni salad was good, common. Macaroni salad, they saw that the pickle de guyo with cactus was bomb. The guacamole was homemade bomb. I ate a little of everything and it was just right and still had left overParking: They have a nice size parking lotKid-friendliness: The inside is not that big but there are tables where you can sit and eat if you have kids that run around this is not the place“
“We went to the Jay Bird's location in the Long Beach industrial park food hall. It was a weekday around lunch, so the place was packed with employees of the surrounding business. With the many options, it's easy to be distracted, but Jay Bird's should be your go to spot. They started to really grow a couple years ago and their food and service is why. Each time we've gone, we experience impeccable service. This time around, we ordered the Mac Daddy, which is a friend chicken sandwich loaded with mac n cheese. While it might seem heavy, the cheese sauce is surprisingly light and doesn't overpower the sandwich. It adds a delicate creaminess and great flavor to the sandwich. The chicken is juicy and cooked to a nice level of crispiness. The crinkle cut fries are not a home run, but they're seasoned well and I don't have any complaints. They have a small counter area for dining, but there are tables around the warehouse that are shared amongst the other restaurants. The staff was friendly and they were quickly making the food. Jay Bird's is always consistent at their various locations and my go to "chain" for a fried chicken sandwich.“
“The most delicious, freshly prepared, juicy, well seasoned chicken breast sandwich I've ever had! It was great. At first, I thought it was burned because it was a really dark brown. But that's because it was saturated in seasoning. I chose the hot one and it was hot! Took a few minutes to sink in. The sauce that came with it looks like thousand island dressing but doesn't taste like it. Kinda hard to describe the taste except it Kinda cools down the intense heat and pairs well with the chicken. I really enjoyed my sandwich and I'll be back.Vegetarian options: Fried cauliflower wings substitute for chicken“
“The cashier was so helpful and friendly!! The spicy chicken wasn’t actually spicy but it did have a tasty sauce. I did takeout and my order was ready in 15 minutes (so quick for two half chicken orders ). Loved the service I definitely recommend this place if you’re craving yummy fried chicken.“
“After losing the 50/50 twice during the HSR collab, I drove here in the hopes that I could guarantee the ticket I wanted. I'm so glad I did.The people here are really nice and the building is clean with a nice atmosphere. There's even a little parking out back. The food, of course, is excellent (Signature sauce gang)“
“This place is hidden on 4th street. There is plenty of street parking in front of the restaurant. It's not that busy later in the evening. The service was quick. The ambiance is super cute with the cherry blossom tree and the art on the wall with the chicken. This is a cashless place since they recently got robbed. So make sure to help out this small business!I got the original hainan chicken rice. Everything was flavorful and spiced right. The sauces that came with it was perfect. I love how chicken is cooked steamed as it was juicy and not try. I would get this again. If you're sick, get their herbal chicken soup. It has 5 spices and Gojo berry, which is beneficial when you're sick. I definitely will be back here to try their bubble teas too!“
“I tried this place on a whim and it did not disappoint. I had never had Nashville hot chicken and it was great. If you’re greedy like me, then the portions are more than enough. I’ll be coming back to this place when I’m in Long Beach. Oh I had the hot chicken “

“Fresh and delicious.Located inside 2nd & PCH downstairs across from Shake Shack. Came here during the weekday for lunch. Restaurant was clean and was pretty quiet, maybe saw 1-2 ppl while I was eating there.Asked the lady for recommendations, and she was so nice. Ordered the 6 wing combo ( Thai chili). Food was hot and fresh. Wings were crunchy, great flavor, and not spicy. Fries were so good - seasoned well and crunchy. I would definitely get that again.“

“I LOVE it here, they have such a great menu, great team as well along with great creative ideas with new flavors. I love what they offer and the food hits every time and I love the sauces too because they are so creative with it. The quality of the produce they use is on point and you don't feel cheated for your money when you eat here, plus it's a great price too. You GOT to try the DRAGONFIRE sauce too, it's so perfect.“
“(Translated by Google) The sheep barbecue ? highly recommended.I haven't tried the chicken yet but I will soon.The attention is very good, a very quiet place to eat in the place.The atmosphere you do, whether with family or friendsOnly one recommendation, they could improve a little more with the sauces.(Original)La barbacoa de borrego ? muy recomendable .Todavía no he probado los pollos pero pronto lo haré .La atención muy bien un lugar muy tranquilo para comer en el lugar.El ambiente lo haces tu ya sea familiar o con amigosSolo una recomendación podrían mejorar un poco más con las salsas.“
“Cluck & Blaze is pretty popular. There were a lot of people that came and went in a short amount of time, but it wasn’t packed.I ordered the main chick combo which comes with 1 side. I got the Mac n cheese (should have more cheese in my opinion) and I pretty sure much inhaled it. Try dipping it in the ComeBack Sauce!!The Main Chick Sandwich was delicious, especially the coleslaw, and the chicken was juicy. For the heat level, I chose You can do better (mild) which I regret because I don’t eat a lot of spicy food. So I died inside and it didn’t help that the sandwich was hot. Overall, everything was great. This place is for people who love spicy food, but I’m going back just never choosing mild or above.“
“The cup was big and for the prices, definitely worth it! My brother and I got Churros with ice cream. For my flavors, I got milk cereal and strawberry cheesecake ice cream and my brother got brownie and horchata. Tasty flavors!There was only one person working when we walked in and then gave us a warm welcome! Very chill customer service and I would definitely go back there again. The store is small and the parking wasn't too bad. They had little goodies from other countries like this giant skittles I got!The churros were good with the ice cream, it was really sweet but good! 10/10 would eat this ice cream again!“

“The food was delicious and fresh. The chicken was juicy and not all greasy. The sweet and spicy sauce was perfect and the shrimp fried rice was simple but superb. Our waitress was very patient and kind. The customer service was great and she answered all our questions. We would definitely drive from afar again to eat here.“
“We have options for rotisserie chicken, fire grilled chicken, and other methods or cooking the bird. Well Juan’s does it well. The chicken was not dry. The rub on it forms a tasty layer that is not too salty or peppery. The potato salad for me sealed the deal. Creamy finely chopped goodness. Decor is quaint reminds me of small dinners growing up. You know the one with colorful fiberglass seats. The staff is very friendly and service is quick. Stop by and enjoy.“
“Legends hot chicken is the best hot chicken I've had. I've been eating here for years now the thighs are mind blowing. So flavourful and moist just a straight mouthwatering experience. I recommend getting medium or lower I got the second spiciest flavor once and it was tear wrenching. Either way if the food is to spicy they have phenomenal shaved ice. It melts in your mouth immediately and has great flavor.“
“Delicious food, in a fun location! What more could you ask for? Good service? They've got that too. The guy behind the counter is hilarious and provides great service. Ordered the sunshine and Nutella love waffles which are Soo tasty. Also ordered a chicken sandwich minus the provolone and it too was wonderful.“
“I think this might be one of the most underrated chicken, fast food areas this completely surpassed, in Terms of flavor, quality and quantity. I would definitely say that this is better than canes and even a near restaurant by the name of legends, hot chicken I will definitely come here a lot more and the service was amazing kind, quick and polite.“
“Ok you guys have to try this food! I was so full and I wanted to keep eating lol. The customer service was great I wish I could've gotten the young woman's name on the front. She was super helpful and also let us taste test some fries which most places don't do. The place was super clean and you're also able to eat outside which has a cool view and a vibe to it. Definitely going again and highly recommended!!!!“
“I had high expectations from the pictures and reviews, but they were still blown away after my first experience eating at Lacquered. I brought my family to dine-in on Easter Sunday and they had a blast drawing on the placemats and trying all of the popular fish and chicken dishes. Scott was also a blast and was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond for our first time there.We tried the five-piece fried chicken plate, 2 piece tenders with fries, fish and chips, chicken salad, and mac and cheese. We recommend each one of these plates and we will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.“
“Main chick is probably the best hot fried chicken restaurants I’ve been to & this spot does it right.I just ordered a tender and leg quarter both at medium spice with lots of mc sauce. They were both cooked perfectly, tender juicy and full of flavor. The mc sauce really adds that balance and it was an amazing lunch.I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. Parking is plentiful but don’t know what it’s like during peak times.“
“Inside a small food court. Served by the sweetest staff. Small menu: we liked the dried cheese powder flavor - i think jt has like dried egg yolk flavor too. We also like the spicy soy garlic. I recommend adding double mochi orders they are soft fried pillows!!“
“Tried the Dave's Not Chicken sandwich and it didn't disappoint. It was crispy and freshly prepared, it was still hit when I got home. My fries could've been hotter but they were good just not off the fryer hot. I added some fresh spinach and onions and it was really good with the sauce provided..The staff was extremely nice and everybody had a smile on their faced..I will go back to this location.“
