50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Downey

“chicken tortilla soup very good“

“Everything is good especially there sauce, toast“

“Chicken wings were off the chain“

“I usually don’t post fast food reviews (because why?) but I just HAD to applaud KFC management for crafting such well-mannered workers! Specifically a shout-out to the worker Marcos! My husband and I try to encourage our kids to have confidence and order for themselves, my child (8) was so nervous. We went at a busy time and you could tell the management was stressed. However, Marcos greeted her with a happy energy and enthusiasm that she felt so confident after ordering. He also told her that he liked her pink shoes and that his girlfriend loved pink too! (Which made her feel so cool)! Great Job KFC!“

“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 ?“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Owners are awesome. Food was great. Very clean. The shopping center is a little older and made me think twice but absolutely worth it. Had the chef prepare his favorite so can't remember what it was but fresh and flavorful! Will go back. Great small business.“

“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“

“It was hard to find the restaurant because it was in the back corner of a business complex. It's very easy to miss, but there's plenty of parking at least. Me and 2 friends ordered from the kiosk and waited about 15m for 3 sandwiches and fries. Inside it's quite small with only a table and bar with 4 seats each.

I got the Signature Sandwich with LVL 2 sauce. The sandwich was massive, and the chicken was so thick, incredibly juicy, and perfectly cooked. The breading and cabbage were crunchy too. The mayo was a creamy complement to the chicken without being overpowering. The spicy sauce was served on the side, and it was so deliviously flavorful and not only spicy. My only complaint here is that I wish there was more spicy sauce and that it was spread inside the sandwich, because I kept forgetting to drizzle sauce on between bites and still ran out.

The salt and vinegar fries tasted exactly like the Lay's flavor but with more potato from the fries, of course. Honestly the fries were nothing special but they gave so much that the box was overflowing.

I tried my friend's Kimchi Egg Sandwich too. The ham was pretty forgettable or missable, but the egg was delicious. The egg was incredibly moist, sweet, and delicately salty, and it paired well with the mild acidity of the kimchi.

We chatted with the owner a bit when we picked up our food and she was very sweet and kind. She made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. I hope more people check this place out, because it's unfortunately very missable in its current location. I'm going to come back but will definitely share a sandwich next time.“

“Went to this spot because I use to go to the one in Cypress that closed, this spots in a strip mall with various other places, the location was outdated and looks like it was some kind of eatery before they had a big display case that was unused there was no seating in the location so dining in is out of the question. I ordered the 4 pease chicken meal 2 breasts and 2 thighs, the chicken could have been cleaner there was extra skin just left in the peases when they were cooked, I don't mind the ribs being on a chicken breast but not removing it from the carcass isn't good enough for me. My sister ordered some fish and shrimp and some gizzards no problem there nicely done overall the food was good, with a few changes this place would be amazing

“I first visited Dave's Hot Chicken three years ago when I worked at Ontario Airport and quickly became a regular customer. Since then, I changed airport locations and was thrilled to hear they were building one outside Lakewood Mall. My wife had never tried it, so I took her there for lunch. I ordered Dave's #1 meal for her, which included two tenders with fries, a slice of bread, pickles, and Dave's sauce. I chose the Hot heat level for her and a regular drink. The total amount came to $19.64, including a $2 tip. It may seem a little pricey, but the tenders are a decent size, and the flavor is fantastic. The ambiance on a Monday afternoon was calm and relaxing, making it an excellent spot for lunch. The employees provided superb customer service, and my order was ready within 10 minutes. The restaurant also has a patio section if you wish to eat outside. My wife enjoyed her meal but thinks she will order it at a medium spice level next time. We will be back soon.“

“Nice little place for Hainin Chicken and Rice and many other dishes like Black Pepper Beef and Fried Chicken. The service and very good the staff are very friendly. There are a few table for seating inside and outside.

In this visit I had the Chinese Chicken Salad.Overall, this salad is a well-executed dish, perfect for those looking for a light yet filling meal. The combination of fresh vegetables, protein, and crunchy elements makes it a delightful choice for a healthy, flavorful lunch or dinner.“

“Best Korea Street style food.
I loved it. And they open late hours...it was great for my work hour.
Got to try it!

Parking: I go there after 7pm after my work. Good about street parking

Kid-friendliness: I always buy pop con chiken and Korean ducbokgi for me and my boys

Wheelchair accessibility: I think so.....“

“Overall experience was good. Girl at the cashier was friendly and even gave me a sample of sauce to check for heat. Food came out quick and in big portions. Only reason I didn’t give it a 5 because i love my food piping hot although the wedges were hot the chicken was barely warm but overall i would recommend to come check out.“

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

“The chicken is amazing. Brought out by a great, friendly staff who's always on top of their game. I highly recommend the Nashville. Great food at a reasonable price. Two thumbs up.“

“food was sooooo good. the sauce in the chicken was so good. it mixed so well together. fries were good as well. my friends food looked so good as well. we’re definitely going to have to come back & try more from the menu. over all good service. they bring u the food. it was genuinely a good experience over all. again, i’ll be back!??“

“Wow, this place is beyond amazing. You can tell the make the food with love. My team from work decided to order the family pack for someones birthday- with 5 chicken rotisserie/ all cut up and grilled to perfection. The sides such as beans, nopale salad, pico de gallo, hot sauce( green/red), macaroni. Everyone enjoyed this place and they have the best customer service. I had to leave a tip because of how great the service and food was. It really exceeded my expectations. Come here for some delicious Mexican food, its worth every penny!“

“Best pollito that I have ever had. It falls off the bone, and is flavorful. I think I ate the whole damn bird in one sitting, and I wasn’t even that hungry, that’s how good it is. Their pico de gallo salsita has a good kick to it, their sides are all good, basically one of the best fast food places that I have ever been to, periodddtt!“

“I'm not a chiken person (food wise) but this chiken from daves chinken is definitely my only place for chiken, their flavor is like no other, I was invited trough an acquaintance, since then I've been coming back, every one that likes chicken should try Dave's chicken, no brainer!“

“Yummy food and sauces, reasonably priced food. Good portion sizes. Tender and flavorful meat. You add sauce(s) using their sauce bottles. I got the Chicken and Steak Bowl. I added their mayo sauce and spicy sauce. It was delicious. Cashier was friendly and helpful. Good costumer service. She brought the food to our table. Short wait time for food to come out and not crowded. Clean and organized atmosphere. A moderate amount of seating. Medium sized parking lot. Cypress College students get a free small drink with a bowl or plate purchase.“

“This location is small. Expect to wait if you're coming in a big group especially for brunch. The menu for brunch is small. Some good options but limited to 8 dishes or so. They do not do the Unlimited Mimosa drinks with brunch at this location which is not a problem because they have the kit for $30 and you can just be pouring up without having to ask for a refill. Staff was super friendly. Really great service and the ambiance was great.“

“Awesome food loved the taste and the salsa. Meets my nutrition for the gym and makes me full. Best authentic better version of el pollo loco with more flavor. The potatoe salad is phenomenal

Parking: Enough parking to park and excellent service“

“The psychedelic sando & og chicken sando were so awesome. Medium sauce had a kick but went well with the sandos. Fries were great! I highly recommend!!“

“I would recommend (St George UT) Chicken flavor a 10 on the 2 tenders. Fries were lukewarm and limp in my 9 minute ride home. I was also disappointed that a tiny Diet Coke cost $2.65! . It’s not likely I will go again because the cost isn’t something I would do regularly. If it was 12$ including a drink maybe.“

“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 ❤️“

“Let’s just get this out of the way. Howlin rays is a bit better. But consider following before you dismiss this review.

Wait time was nonexistent when I came.

Chicken was moist and the spice level (medium) was good.

Customer service and ambience were great.

Nashville chicken snobs will dismiss this place and claim Howlin rays is soooo much better. But, I’ll counter with the wait times and just the overall hype factor. It’s not all that.

Weigh your options, and availability. Don’t just follow the hype train.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps“

“The food was so delicious! I love Korean food period but I will say that the food here is very authentic and worth the long wait.
When we were there they only had one waitress and she didn’t seem very patient or overly pleasant. But it’s ok I know it’s a cultural thing..so don’t take it personal. Anyways 10/10 I recommend this place for sure!“

“Came here for lunch. We were quickly seated and the server, Thomas, was very patient and attentive to our needs as a walk-in party of five. The food options aren't extensive so it helps with decision fatigue and we were able to get our chicken well within a reasonable time. Pricing was good and ended up being a great place to eat!“

“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.“

“The chicken is juicy and delicious. The best hot chicken sandwiches I’ve had in LA. No disrespect but it’s way better than Dave.

I met the owner last time and he was super friendly and down to earth.

Great service overall.“

“good food,nice people, fast service.“

“This place is delicious but being a fatass I like everything. The quality of their chicken is great, moist, flavorful with the option of hotness. But the toast may end up burnt unfortunately. The wait time is usually 5-6 minutes but worth it since it’s being prepared fresh. The prices can be a tad pricey for a family of 5 but worth it for the quality and convenience. The cons is the wait time if you’re in a hurry 9.1/10 get the tenders you won’t be disappointed“

“buen servicio de atención“

“it was satisfying and the cutie didn't lie medium was already spicy“

“Excellent flavors and selection. Wanna try a few different flavors? Bring four friends and order five lunch meals with five different wing flavors and five different sides! We ordered: (1) Buffalo, (2) Garlic Sesame, (3) Mango Tango, (4) Lemon Pepper, & (5) ........ wings and the sides were: (1) Tater Tots, (2) Cajun Fries, (3) Waffle Fries, (4) Mozzarella Sticks, & (5) Honey Garlic Sriracha. 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The chicken is very tasty and savory, but dining room is very trashy all around, piles of boxes on top of some kind of freezer, the mop and broom close to the soda machine and lots of pictures on the floor.
Honestly this place it needs a makeover, this place it needs to look much cleaner and more attractive to us, the customers!
The service personnel are very nice and always smile to people , but again, this place looks trashy, please please give it a makeover!!!!“

“Friendly customer service. Fresh Hot Food“

Family friendly: 4/5
Stroller friendly: 3/5
ADA accessible: 3/5

First off let me say that the service my family and I received here was top notch! We came in about 915 with 4 adults and 5 kids under 5 y/o. The two people here took it in stride amongst all the chaos and we were able to get in and out.

Ordering was simple. Order what you want on the kiosk and it pops up on your table. We ended up ordering Joey style Crimson Onions ($17), 2 crimson chicken sandwiches( $14 each ), Mac and cheese ($6), and a kids box ($11). Each were great and there is NO SKIMPING on the chicken itself like some other places I've been to.

Parking is so-so as it's in a parking strip mall with other restaurants but when we went (9pm) I had no problems. I once tried going during lunchtime, but it was fairly busy.

If you're in the area I would definitely give this place a whirl.“

“Muy buena toda la comida“

“We are visiting the USA first time and our son who loves the food found out about the Chick-fill-A.

We will be back to this place soon!!!!this is from my 10 year old son the food was delightful the chicken melts in your mouth and Andy was the G.O.A.T“

“Service was great and it wasn’t as packed as other Korean chicken places.

I do feel that the sauces were a little off, however, the chicken was good as I also got the original and it was bomb!

It blows Korean bbq chicken across the street out of the water!“

“This is some of the best chicken I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, seating is crammed together and uncomfortable and the servers seem like they don’t want you there. From now on, we will just order it to go because it really is delicious chicken!!“

“El mejor pollo del mundo y buen servicio“

“I should have taken a picture of the food, and I usually do, but we dug right in. The salsa with the pillos is super fire. There is a hint of spice to it, but the flavor is amazing. The next day, I took the leftover to work in my heated lunch pale and mixed the salsa and beans in it, and made a dish that was smackin.“

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

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

“You better believe it FINALLY! A smash burger from this place which I can honestly rate it 10 out of 10 my first time here and I went for the Rodeo double smash patties with cheese spicy saucy just the way I like it! Oh forgot to mention it did have an Onion ring in it…Did I ask for an order of Onion rings? YES MOST DEFINITELY…heck it was Halloween and I had done my Catrina makeup for a special occasion so last trip was to head over to Steel Craft Bellflower Check the Atmosphere there and enjoy the rest of my evening. Food was delicious! Weather was cold and it rained , Well not to worry because this place had the heaters going the Band was Playing Spanish Rock and everyone who could was dancing and ambiance was on point. Overall my dinner was delicious, service was wonderful and will I return? Yes??✅keep up the good work ladies ?Also a shout out to the people who work to keep the place spotless and well kept during my time there it was very noticeable…Greatly appreciated?

Parking: There’s plenty of parking when you can’t find street parking go to the back of steel craft there’s parking lot there and also plenty of parking by City Library of course a little walk but it’s worth it! There’s also parking across the street behind the business there too there’s another parking lot ?️ like I said just a little walk but definitely worth enjoying what Bellflower has to offer with all it’s restaurants so close by.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of food options for kiddos and space to walk or dance to music ? plus which kiddo doesn’t like fries especially crinkle cut fries and burgers
