“from the moment we waked in we received great service! Jamal was so welcoming, asked if we wanted recommendations and we did .. we ordered what he recommended and it was amazing! everything was filling. we ordered the crimson (medium) & joey eat fries (mild) . i don’t do spicy, so medium was a bit much for me, so i would advise mild if you’re like me. The dressings and pickles helped me! also overall A+ definitely coming back!“

“Tried Dave’s Hot Chicken and it was really good!
The chicken was super juicy with a crispy coating and strong flavor. I got medium spice, which was perfect🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️

Sliders were the highlight, fries were just okay. A bit oily, but definitely worth it for the taste.

Overall, a solid spot for spicy chicken 🍗🔥“

“My friends and I came down to LA from the bay area and we stopped by for lunch. The man at the counter was really chill and hospitable and gave us recommendations on the menu. I got the chicken tenders with mac. The mac and cheese was so good, super cheesy. The tenders were super crunchy and seasoned well. My friend really liked the chipotle ranch. Portions were huge, especially the loaded mac buffalo chicken bowl. Would come again!“

“I loved it!! Everything.. I work a block away and need something that's affordable, that's abundant and actually yummy / decent quality and better pound wings did it. They delivered to me for free, the shrimp garlic spaghetti was delicious, abundant and good quality.. it was my first time and am excited to have found a spot I can go to daily if I wanted too .. drinks could be bigger for the prices but other than that I am in love 💕“

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)“

“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!“

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

“I showed up at 10:09. It opened at 10:00 and already had 2 people at a table and 4 in line ahead of me. I ordered the Yaho Special with salmon substitute and shrimp. Both the grilled salmon and shrimp were wonderful. I'll definitely be coming back here the next time I'm craving grilled salmon or shrimp.“

“I recently ordered from Jollibee and had a great experience.

The place was very clean, and the size of the restaurant felt just right—not too big and not too small. Even though the location was busy with customers, the staff still managed everything well and the place did not feel neglected.

I ordered online for takeout, and my order was ready as soon as I arrived, which made the process very smooth and convenient. I didn’t have to stay long at all.

And of course, Chickenjoy is still the best fried chicken—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and always delicious.

Overall, a great experience with fast service, a clean environment, and amazing food. Highly recommended! 👍🍗“

“buen servicio de atención“

“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! 😁“

“I love Pop's Chicken. The establishment is always clean and inviting. The staff is kind and respectful. They smile!! The food is fresh and the price is reasonable. I had succulent chicken, marinated, grilled to perfection. Soft rice and tasty beans. So good! I also had macaroni salad and creamy Cole slaw. The salsa was prepared with experience, I must say. It had the right measure of spice to compliment my chicken. Yummy. Thanks for the love Pop's Chicken❣️❣️“

“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!“

“El mejor pollo y burritos y tacos“

“We were recommended to this place by some friends, so we decided to give it a try. We walked in and were immediately greeted, asked if we knew what we wanted. We said we needed a coyote of minutes, but the gentleman said no problem, but answered some questions we had. We ordered the chicken skins, hush puppies and the #1 with light meat (breast and a wing with potato wedges and a roll). The hush puppies were so flavorful, no need for a dipping sauce. The chicken skins were huge and also very flavorful. I finally got to my chicken because it was so hot, I'm not sure because I had the other stuff, but the chicken wasn't as flavorful as the other stuff I had. The potato wedges were good, very hot as well. We will be back! Good value for what you get!“

“I got the double smash burger with jalapeños added, which is a great tip because you get the freshness and the heat but also that way you get the grilled onions and pickle.
This place is my new favorite place to get a Smashburger from( give it a full 10/10.
The burger was super flavorful !!!
The guy manning the business in the mourning was personable and had great customer service skills. The burger had a lot of flavor great ratios of meat, cheese, onions, and bread wasn’t too bready. The fries are solid lightly seasoned. I personally like a little more but you can always add more but can’t take it off so I get it. I’m going to come back and try the chicken, can’t wait. Props to the owner . wish much success for all entrepreneurs who take pride in their craft. 💪✌️“

“The owners are incredibly kind and genuinely sweet people. You can feel the care they put into their food and their customers the moment you walk in.
The food is always FRESH, flavorful, and so satisfying. If you’re ordering for the first time (or even the tenth), get the Gangnam Style, it’s a must! Perfect balance of crispy, saucy, and absolutely addictive.
So happy to have this place in the neighborhood. Highly recommend! 🍗🔥“

“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!“

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

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

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

“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.“

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

“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 ❤️“

“For Mothers Day We ordered the Jumbo Meal 3 Chickens and All 3 xl sides Potato Salad because we had rice and beans at the house. It was amazing as always still hot after a 20 minute drive. My in-laws picked it up and drove it down to South County for a visit. It fed 9 people and we got seconds. The Potato salad here is the best! I could eat it every other day. Such an amazing texture. I have gone to other chicken spots and they are good but Juan Pollo is the best.“

“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...“

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

“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.“

“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. 👍🏻👍🏻“

“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. The sides are just as good, and the portions are generous, so you definitely get your money’s worth. The staff is super friendly and the service is always quick, which makes the whole experience even better. Whether you dine in or take it to go, the quality is always consistent. If you’re craving chicken, this is THE spot—you won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Praise YAHUAH the LORD and His Son Yahusha HaMashiach Messiah Jesus Christ and the Ruach HaKodesh Holy Spirit!!!

Great crispy chicken, Juicy, not tinny pieces, and fresh.

The fish, nice and flavored, crispy if asked well well done, tasty and fresh.

Fries are standard fish fry, I always ask for extra seasoning on all the food.“

“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!!!“

“You know, Korean style chicken has evolved over the past decades in Korea itself and the market’s saturated with many brands more popular than Pelicana, but Peicana was one of THE original brands known for their spicy seasoned chicken (yang nyum)

I have not tried any other Pelicana locations, and I have no particular comment for their regular fried chicken, but the spicy original seasoned chicken at this particular Artesia location is VERY good with generous sauce on the bottom of the box to dip in any portions that you want more of it on. My hubby says it tastes just like what he used to have back in the days (tho he is more of a Kyo chon consumer in Korea, but here in the States this is his favorite). So I would say (for those who like ‘em of course) just get the original spicy seasoned chicken and you won’t fail. Plus the lady who runs the place is very, very nice — three times we bought from her though she doesn’t seem to remember (-;“
