“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.“

“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“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is the perfect spot if you love crispy, flavorful, and spicy chicken. The tenders are juicy on the inside with a crunchy outside, and the spice levels range from mild to Reaper—so there’s something for everyone. Their sauce pairs perfectly with the chicken, and the bread and pickles add the right balance. The fries are seasoned well and always hot. Service is usually quick, and the vibe is casual and fun.“

“Visited the Manchester UK restaurant today. Did not like it at all!!! Had to wait 20mins for my order and when it came it looked disgusting. The slider I got was a real thin, tough piece of chicken which wasn't very tender and the batter was over done and tasted greasy which was no surprise as it dripped out when I got the carton out and had a hint of a beef taste. The fillet included was just the same but a little bigger but the fries were the saving grace! They were nice a fluffy but the chicken here is terrible and wouldn't visit again. The staff were great but the food was terrible and it didn't even taste like chicken! No wonder they have spice it's to disguise the taste! Anyone trying for the first time I'd recommend getting it with no spice to get what it actually tastes like! Rank and horrible! Will go elsewhere for better quality chicken.“

“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.“

“Amazing chicken sandwich, fried to order. The slaw that’s on top is perfect, it has a little bit of cilantro and jalapeño. I got the hot, and I like spicy, I think next time I will get the extreme. Amazing mouth numbing spice from the Szechuan peppercorn, all the flavors work really well together. Since the chicken is really oversized I would recommend getting an extra sauce to dip it in, either the hot honey or the daybird sauce. I was too excited from how good it smelled and forgot to take a picture before I started eating, but look at this amazing cross-section!“

“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.“

“This location is a neighborhood classic! They have been serving the community for decades!! Even though they are extremely busy behind the counter, it is super organized. Everyone knows their place and role, which is why the food is delivered/served with excellence! To me, this is the BEST Louisiana on the planet! Keep up the amazing work, and keep serving the community in excellence!!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Their charbroiled garlic chicken over fries drenched in garlic au jus is unique and worth the 15 mile drive from home. I normally go to the Pico Union one but this one has easier parking and more seating. They also have more selection but I've never gotten anything but the chicken. It was hot and fresh and as always addicting.“

“I had the all white meat Hainan Chicken plate. Everything was absolutely delicious. I’m definitely coming back. I highly recommend this place.“

“Everything about this place is awesome. From all the flavors to the honey that helps cool it down. The self serve soda. Even the seating of being indoor or outdoor is always a plus.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been eating at this place before 1987. I used to take my children here for dinner or lunch on Saturdays. My children are grown and are raising their families now. I am in my Senior years now and moved from that area. However, I still go over there to eat on Saturdays every now and then. One thing I can share with you, is the recipe has never changed. 😎😎“

“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! 😁“
