In the morning CF employee Raul C. came to speak to me about leaving it overnight and how they've been having issues. After explaining what had happened he apologized showed empathy and even gave me breakfast. This really got my spirits up after some bad luck and a long night. W Raul and W Chick-fil-A 9180“

“I worked t Pioneer Chicken #1 on Echo Park as a cook, prep, and last as a manager for 13 years . I never got tired of eating Pioneer Chicken. I always go to Soto and Whittier location“

“Tried this place a few days ago, ended up going there 2 days in a row! First visit I tried their Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Extra Hot sauce and fries, and it was a hooting delightful! Next I tried their Garlic Parmesan wings - ordered extra so I could put them in fridge to eat later. Very high quality food!“

“This place is insane value. The sandwich ingredients are fresh and the chicken is very crispy. My second time going and it’s just as good as the first time.
If you like spicy the sauce is perfect numbing flavor. I already want to go back and can’t wait to try the other menu items.
Also if you like purple yam the Goguma latte is very creamy/rich and refreshing.
The owners are so nice and friendly- I’m surprised this place isn’t packed. Look forward to trying again soon.“

“First time trying Crimson Coward and was a bit hesitant due to the higher than average costs for Hot Chicken... but let me tell you... they're chicken is ON POINT!

The chicken is super tender, fresh, crispy, and best of all - HALAL... the breading is probably the best I've had of all the hot chicken places I've tried. I tried the Medium spice level and it was perfect for me. It had the perfect heat level / kick and with their tasty ranch, it was perfect!

But the best part of my meal here was the excellent service I received from the 2 guys working, Jeremiah and Angel... these guys know how to treat customers, especially when it's your first time. Gave me the perfect recommendation and went above and beyond to make sure my first-time experience was nothing short of amazing. Well done, fellas. Thank you. It will be hard to eat at Dave's after trying this spot. The chicken is chef's kiss 👨‍🍳 🤌💋

Go check them out!“

“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.“

“honestly my favorite hot chicken spot. super glad to have one within 5 minutes of me!“

“Ordered the 5 pollos for a birthday event and all side dishes were delicious. Nopales,rice,beans and the salads. No foto because it was all gone ..😂 order ahead of time,must do a small deposit to secure sales. We have made chicken purchase from here for other events (teachers and baseball team liked it)“

“Such a gem in a LA downtown!! Food is delicious and Boba are amazing! It is one of those places you nearly miss, but I am glad we didn’t. We ordered half pound dose of lemon honey barbecue wings. The food is generous and tasty. Everything is very clean and you have everything at your disposal: cutlery, napkins, fresh wipes, and to go boxes.“

“Red Chickz never disappoints! The chicken is a straight 10/10 — crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The sides are just as fire, definitely another 10/10. Big shoutout to Anthony for the amazing customer service. Super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place!“

“The only complaint I have is the parking. Totally not their fault.

The place was really busy, but the staff was very attentive and efficient. They did a great job getting orders out in s timely manner. Our food came out in a reasonable time and the order was correct. The food was also hot and just delicious.“

“buen servicio de atención“

“This teriyaki spot is our go-to place. Their flavor is one of the best in Orange County. While other places just slap teriyaki sauce on plain chicken, this place actually marinates the meat first, then grills it and brushes on more sauce as it cooks — giving it that perfect smoky, grilled flavor without being overly sweet or heavy. And unlike a lot of places that hiked their prices like crazy after the pandemic, this spot still keeps their prices super reasonable. Amazing taste, great value — total hidden gem!“

“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!“

“Friendly customer service. Fresh Hot Food“

“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! 😁“

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

“Buena comida selos. recomiendo 😎😎😎“

“This was my first time trying bbq chicken in cypress and it exceeded my expectations.
The owners are really attentive, friendly and makes sure each customer is taken care of properly. Another plus for the cleanliness and quality of food.“

“AMAZING! We will be back! The employees were so wonderful and kind to myself and my family, and the food was delicious! Huge portions as well! We will be back!“

“The chicken here is consistently tasty, which keeps me coming back for the family specials. My whole family enjoys the flavor, and the service is impressively fast. The portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality and amount of food provided.“

“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.“

“If I could give this place 10/5 I would! At first I thought the place was sketchy at first but most good places do lol Franchise chicken places hardly have any meat on their chicken and the grocery stores always make their chicken too salty. TOTALLY DIFFERENT GAME HERE! Went here one day for a chicken plate and the pieces had plenty of meat, hardly greasy, lightly seasoned, and overall tasted like good ol home cooking 🤤. Just came here again to try their fish and shrimp and again, it was excellent. Most fish and shrimp places drown their fish in thick bread-like batter that makes you feel sick in a few bites. Here however, the fish and shrimp are fried in a seasoned thin peppery flour mix, basically a thin batter 🤤. I don't think I can go anywhere else for fried chicken and fish. JUST BE SURE TO AIR OUT THE FOOD TO LET IT COOL DOWN WHEN YOU GET IT!! YES! ITS THAT FRESH! AND THAT GOOD!“

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

“Great price for their combo meals.

We got 2 order of the combo wings. The combo comes with 1 medium size pizza, 12 wings, and 1 liter soda of choice.

You’re able to choose 2 sauces for the wings and we got mango habanero, lemon pepper, honey garlic, and something else. For the pizza, we got bulgogi and Hawaiian.

On top of that I ordered the dumpling and rice cake soup which was pretty good. However, there were only like 6 dumplings and lots of rice cake that couldn’t be finished. Towards the end of the soup, it started getting a bit saltier as well.

The price you pay for the amount of food you get is decent. Flavors are good as well. I think the only complaint is that they drench their chicken in sauce which isn’t my preference when eating Korean fried chicken.“

“Ciro!!! Wow! I want to take a moment to recognize an outstanding employee at Dave's Hot Chicken, Artesia, CA branch, Ciro!!! From the very first time we visited, Ciro stood out with his exceptional service and genuine positivity. He is consistently polite, respectful, and radiates a welcoming energy that truly enhances the customer experience.

Ciro goes above and beyond in everything he does. Whether it’s during a rush or a calm moment, he remains calm, efficient, and professional. He handles pressure like a pro. Always with a smile, never missing a beat. It’s rare to encounter someone who brings that level of dedication and grace under stress.

Employees like Ciro are rare gems. I strongly believe that he should not only be recognized but rewarded. He is exactly the kind of team member that any business would be lucky to have.

He truly deserves a promotion and continued recognition for his outstanding contributions. Thank you, Ciro, for being consistently amazing!“

“I had a great experience at Jollibee today! The staff were friendly and welcoming, and my order came out quickly. The Chickenjoy was crispy and juicy, and the Jolly Spaghetti hit the spot as always. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained. Always a pleasure coming here—feels like home!“

“Absolutely delicious food. Competitive prices, and welcoming atmosphere. The servings were generous; You will not leave here hungry. I highly recommend this establishment and look forward to my next chance to dine here. 👍🏻👍🏻“

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

“Amazing food! I drove from Long Beach to Anaheim for the food and it did not disappoint. The chicken was moist and the potatoe salad is the best ever! I first tried Juan Pollo a few weeks ago and a colleague bought chicken for our staff. Today we returned the favor and got some b for ourselves. Amazing! Try the cayenne dressing. It’s good.“

“The best deal for a party. They supply dishes, utensils and napkins. Not to mention tortillas & salsa’s. Nothing left for you to do but sit back and enjoy.👍 the chicken is fabulous ❤️“

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

“The food was so good!!! And lots of food for the price :)“

“Came back to this spot and they did not disappoint—the chicken was just as juicy, the sauce still hits hard, and that slaw added the perfect crunch. The seasoned crinkle fries were on point too, soaking up all that flavor without getting soggy. They even have great customer service. Highly recommend this place.👍🏾“

“I’ve never been to this place because the area always scared me but I wish I came here sooner!! This place has one of the best tasting chicken in the area it was so good and the fries were pretty decent. The staff were friendly and give you large portions whenever you want Chinese food so that’s dope! It’s just a shame the area brings the place down.“

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

“Small takeout restaurant.
Serves a good value meal of steamed chicken plus flavorful rice. Think of Hainan chicken.
Quite tasty and tender chicken including a trio of sauces that enhance the taste, I was told my the server that it’s best to mix them.
Beef dish available as well as a garlic noodles option.“

“I recently stumbled upon this fantastic little spot on the corner, and I had to share. It's a real hidden gem! I highly recommend their number 1 – it's delicious and the price is incredible. It's comparable to Papi Que Rico in terms of quality / taste. They have parking! Definitely worth a try.“

“I stumbled upon this place while working in the area, and I'm glad I did. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the beans were delicious, and the salsa and tortillas tied everything together. Their $10.99 dinner special—half a chicken with two sides and tortillas—is an unbeatable deal. Absolutely amazing!!!“

“Hands down the BEST chicken I’ve ever had! The flavor is unmatched—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and always cooked to perfection. Every bite tastes fresh and delicious.
