50 Best Chicken Restaurants near East Los Angeles

“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.“

“The fried pickles were really good! We loved them! All of our meals were really good. The chicken was tasty. The BLT had a good amount of crispy bacon crisp lettuce. The garlic aioli was yummy. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.“

“Just updating my review because the chicken I got today was so beautiful I took a picture & posted it...my only gripe with this place is sometimes the coating is not on all the chicken today it was all a uniform wonderful color all over I would definitely kiss the cook“

“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 ?“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!“

“Ordered a wrap and the wrap is good at approx $10. I got the free dessert milk thing and it was … really warm, kinda sour, and very unappetizing so I didn’t eat it. It seemed like it was left out for … a while.

But they also have these super cute lights if you check into yelp and the rest of their food was fine. Just don’t get the dessert“

“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“

“Best spicy chicken sandwich in LA IMO. Ignore the photos because they just don’t do the unique sandwich justice.

Spicy and sweet and really good size for the price. Hot was actually spicy but still so much flavor, which was nice.

The big sleeper here are the cookies… i don’t know what the flavor was but it was 10/10 warm and soft!

Definitely worth a visit!“

“Best grilled chicken. I drive from redondo just to come here. The prices are insanely reasonable. I always get the 2 chicken combo with sides or 3 chicken combo if I have guests over my house. The sides are incredible too. The rice has a corn finish to it with perfect taste, no salt needed as it’s seasoned perfectly. I’m not a fan of beans but they’re very similar to my grandmothers (they’re not fried beans). The potato salad is addicting too, it’s really my guilty pleasure and the last thing we run out off. Pops Chicken HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“Just Wonderful Place To Eat At“

“Solid chicken and sides, but the chicken is over spiced for my liking (not too hot just too many/much spices). Service is great but it can take a while to get food sometimes. I suggest take out since the atmosphere isn't great. Also the spice bomb of the chicken can upset the stomach in larger quantities.“

“The waffles taste similar to the premade ones you’d find in the frozen section of a grocery store. However, I appreciated the presentation and the excellent customer service. Due to a system issue, my delivery was delayed by almost an hour, but they apologized and prepared fresh waffles for me. That level of care has convinced me to order from them again.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Not a place to stay.. mostly to take out..
For a long time I ask the combo with one sandwich, one piece of chicken and fries....for about $15. What can I say about this fried chicken...
I work in the astronomical community so I clearly do NOT believe in Alien life forms visiting our planet.
But THESE chickens are OUT of this world!!! Medium is my right level of spiciness not to hot to cry, not too mild to pass under the radar.. For me a non mexican hispanic, MEDIUM is the right ammount of joy that life needs. Meat is tender an juicy, the batter is crisp and not too thick, bun is never soggy nor dry nor hard.... fries are homestyle and the dipping sauce is the fatty complement to tame the wildness of the spiciness. I really would like to go one notch above medium......but I am not that brave yet... hopefully next time!!!!“

“After so many times of having gone to this shopping center for the other stores, I finally took a chance to come in, and I thought it was pretty good! Staff was friendly, they were really patient with me. Food came out in maybe ~7 minutes or so, so that's pretty standard. I thought it was pretty good! Was reading some of the reviews saying there's no flavor? I don't know, maybe I've become such an old man👴🏻 now, I thought it was good. Not over-the-top. Someone said they barely gave any cheese over the fries? My observation was that they meticulously layered the cheese, so that it wasn't just a giant slab on top with nothing on the bottom. I've never been to any other restaurant that goes through that level of detail to make sure the right amount of cheese is evenly distributed across the fries like that! BRAVO!👏🏻 Shoutout to the 1pm crew! You guys are awesome!

Also, for as long as they've been in business, EVERYTHING is clean! Like, not a hint of grease staining the floors or the furniture.“

“This was my first time visiting Dave's Hot Chicken on a recent trip to LA. Our teens wanted to go. Though it was late night, customer service was exceptional and the food was excellent!!! Whatever you're doing, don't change!“

“One of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever had. The honey based sauce is to die for. The food slaps hard. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“I love this place all the variety of plates are really good we ordered the 3 taquitos dorados and for dessert canela Nachos with ice cream and oh my God are really really god. Angela has and excelente customer service she recommended us this dessert thanks Angela for been nice and make our day better with your attentions. God Bless you! And guys don’t forget the cucumber agua Fresca is really good 😊.“

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

“excelente servicio muy Rico Pollo 🐓 campero Bendiciones para todos los que laboran en todos los Restaurantes“

“Listen up folks, I don't think any words need to be said, because IYKYK! I think y'all already know. This is the best Louisiana-famous fried Chicken!!! IMO.
The service is always, always great! It run so sufficiently. I ALWAYS come in and get my 3pc with fries and a roll.
The Shrimp is also delicious and the fried rice.
Y'all come on through and try them out! You'll see what I'm talking about!
I'll be back soon!!
You may be bombarded with folks trying to sell their goods outside. If someone opens the door for you, just say thanks, go in, order your food. It's all good.

Parking: It gets busy and the parking gets crazy.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible inside.“

“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!“

“When a restaurant does one thing and really hones in and masters their craft, the result speaks for itself. This place does chicken supremely well because that is all they do. The value of the meals is great. You can choose between quarter, half, or whole chicken with tortillas and sides. The chicken is very tasty and juicy, packed with flavor and perfectly made. The sides are also nice. There are some tables but they mainly do takeout. The staff are very friendly and treat you like family.“

“Such a great hospitality! During this difficult times I Loved the fact that today they were so special with the costumers and shared a fresh cut 🌹.“

“We pre-ordered on the app and the food was already ready to go when we arrive to the restaurant. The stuff was really nice and handed me the food when I let them know I ordered online. When I got home, the chicken was nice and crunchy and the side radishes were delicious.“

“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. 😎😎“

“First time ever trying goobne after hearing about this place for so long! Food is great, the chicken is grilled with smoky flavor. The garlic bread is freshly oven baked and goes so well with spicy chicken. Servers are very attentive and nice. Would def come back.“

“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.“

“buen servicio de atención“

“está bien buenas las ensaladas y las papas riquísimas👍👍👍👍“

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

“I enjoyed the chicken tenders and the loaded fries were awesome. A little heavy on the sauce but I feel like it really added to my experience. There’s no inside seating but some seats outside if you wanna eat there. The chicken was well seasoned and I would eat it again. Did not pick up phone when I called ahead but the order only took like 20 minutes for three fresh orders of chicken so I do not mind at all honestly, quality takes time.“

“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.“

“Great place for friend chicken! � Totally coming back here.“

“yes the best clean food in the world“

“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.“

“Buena comida selos. recomiendo 😎😎😎“

“My favorite fried chicken sandwich. Consistently good. Crispy. Never too oily. The coleslaw, pickles, sauce and bread/bun blend perfectly together. I prefer the dark meat (sweeter, juicier.)

The combo comes with your choice of sides: French fries, curly fries, waffle fries, onion rings!

They also sell Boba, green teas and Thai iced tea drinks (+$4.) It goes great with the sandwiches. So when I crave a good chicken sandwich, I go here.“

“Friendly customer service. Fresh Hot Food“

“Everything is good especially there sauce, toast“

“Foods on point 🙌🏽 drove 22 hours just to eat this ❤️“

“I used to drive for Uber eats and I would pick up orders from here it always smelled amazing when you walked inside and I never ate anything until today and might I say everything was delicious. I got a 2 piece tender and fries meal. Everything was seasoned to perfection and I enjoyed every bite!!! 🤤“

“All the food is really Chef's kiss... the downside is you drive all the way over there, and they're often out of a lot of things...

But The Tacos are 🔥

The Garlic noodles are good by themselves, but if you add the shrimp,... 🔥

I think it's garlic soy chicken or something like that but it's deliciously fried with this sauce put on it, and it is very good .

If you don't call it in,
be prepared to wait because they make it all fresh and it's going to take about 20 mins at least... They do give you a little buzzer so you can go sit in your car...

Traffic over there is dicey so it may be a challenge to get in & out of there, but worth it...“

“*YUM* is all I have to say!! We adore this place, and friends who have moved away always beg to go here for chicken when they come home to visit. 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.“
