50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Hacienda Heights

“We had an amazing time here. The food came out pretty fast and it all was so delicious. There’s a game you can play when you first order and if you manage to stop the timer on exactly 10 seconds you get a free combo. I didn’t win but I thought that was such a fun addition to the experience. We ordered a lot but my favorite was the spicy chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese and pickles. It sounds insane but was pretty spicy and didn’t taste damp or dry, it was literally perfect. I can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“really recommend so yammy and the price is good variety of meals must try“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jose D provided excellent service! Even though it was busy, he stayed friendly, quick, and efficient the whole time. He got my order right, kept things moving, and had a great attitude.

It’s not always easy to find that kind of service in fast food, but Jose really stood out. I appreciate the great experience!“

“Food came out hot and fresh, and portion size (got combo #5;ate a quarter waffle in the photo) were plentiful for 1 person. Could have easily split for 2 people. Small place but it was busy with customers and people waiting for their takeout orders.“

“Went in late at night on Sunday 7/13. Dominic was front cashier. Straight up and serious, not in a bad way but a “Get the job done” typa guy. Only downside was they had powered off the shake machine early so no shakes available. Other than that, they had everything else available! Solid location.“

“best chicken ever tender ,juicy crunchy! mmm!“

“The food was great. We asked for a lot of salad refills. Our server Madison was very friendly. Chicken was great. It's all baked. I love Korean chicken. Every time I come back to Buena Park, I always come here. Best chicken in town. Gobble chicken forever!“

“Never been to a Dave’s Hot Chicken before, but this is my niece’s favorite fast food restaurant so it was suggested we come here for lunch.

I was not hungry so just split a chicken tender and fries with my sister, while the nieces and nephews ordered their own combos.

The chicken tender I ate was good, would considered trying it in the future. It was definitely better with Dave’s Hot Honey, which I think is the same brand we order a gallon at a time for work with our banquet orders.

Quality whole pieces of chicken and good spice blends, I can taste why it is a favorite. The fries are decent on their own, but next level with Hot Honey or Dave’s Sauce or Reaper Ranch.

Price point is higher than a McD, but quality is also higher. Worth it for the quality received.

5 stars for the food.

4 out of 5 overall.“

“Jollibee is secretly Filipino but from the looks of the customers, everyone is getting into it. Growing like crazy with unique options besides burgers and chicken. Try their Filipino spaghetti with hot dogs in the sauce ir the hamburger patties over rice with brown gravy. Awesome!“

“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!“

“First time at this location and it did not disappoint. Great food and service!“

“Fire fire fire 🐥Great Chicken & Waffle“

“Was curious about this branch since it’s from China and this is their 2nd location. Was happened to be 15mins away and thought to give it a try. The location is in a big shopping plaza and has a big parking lot so easy parking. They’re either remodeling or putting up new signs since outside are covered and being painting. Inside is new and clean and very spacious. Small menu and plenty of pictures to see what the foods look like. Ordered a bucket of wings for $20 and 3 chicken sandwiches for $10 (special offers at the moment). Prices are not bad at all, they do have special meal deal that is under $10. Staff are good, the wait is abit long but since I ordered, they start making it so…waited for 8mins for my orders and got it in a cool colorful bag. Smell great and if you eat it right away it’s very juicy and tasty, the burger is good and same for the wings. It just not my cup of tea of their seasoning and favor but with their dipping sauces, it just not going together for me. Overall, it was okey, good sandwich (without the seasoning), good clean store and not bad pricing.“

“I absolutely adore Jackson’s Chix tenders! If you’re in downtown Fullerton, you definitely need to stop by. The restaurant has such a great vibe, and the food is simply fantastic. The staff is amazing“

“Great children foods .. it easy fast food and it very delicious 🤤 I will come back after gym“

“The breaded Shrimp with rice, beans and the brown sauce! Just like the good ole’ days!“

“I haven’t been there in years but tonight we decided to go tonight it did not disappoint. The chicken is yummy.“

“Michelle was so nice and helped us get the best deal. The chicken was hot and fresh, and came out very fast. I would definitely come back. Michelle is Awesome and Deserves a promotion with a Big pay raise, you need more empolyees like her.“

“Chicken is tasty. My only question is why you can only have one flavor per order? We would have spent $60 for the large order to try four flavors. Were told that's impossible. Hello? Even WingStop is capable of delivering multiple flavors in one order.“

“The lunch meal deal from 10am-4pm is perfect. The boneless chicken is large so the price is very fitting. Good thick fries, amd their sauces are very tasty as well! Also good entertainment in the resturant as well with a few TVs playing different things. Overall, this is a great wings place!“

“Muy rrico y todo fresco delicioso y limpio lugar y personal muy amable y los precios muy razonables 🙌👍🌺“

“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.“

“Awesome place! Crispy outside and tender on the inside, with good packaging to make sure it doesn't get soggy. The Yangyeom is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, but the original is good too. Will try the buldak next time. Highly recommended.“

“Surprisingly it be actually pretty good 😩“

“Amazing fried chicken“

“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 ❤️“

“Outstanding chicken recipes and boba milk tea is to die for !“

“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! 😁“

“Chicken was really good and crispy. We’ll be back. Pickled veggies on sandwich really good“

“The best service and food as expected. This is another well managed location. I’ll be back😁“

“Best chicken EVER!!!! Must go!! Great service, great atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!“

“I love the choice between fried and roasted chicken. Chicken was flavorful and good next day. I like plantains, rice and those beans were oh so good!! The yucca fries unfortunately were not, bland and didn't feel cooked thru. I ordered both a family and individual meal and requested rolls instead of tortillas. When I got home, there was only one roll and no tortillas. So insulting and luckily I had tortillas as home but i was so bummed, because the roll was really good. I'll come back, but next time. I'm making sure those damn rolls are in there!“

“Pelicana is the OG of KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) boom in Korea. It faces stiff competition along South street in Artesia, from Dave's, Raising Cane, Chik FilA, Jollibee, Popeyes, McDonald's, and bbq.

I ordered the half chicken, original with Smokey hot sauce. The chicken is not as juicy as Jollibee or bbq, the sweet yet hot sauce, however, is sticky good. It comes with pickled radish / chicken-mu to cut through the grease and spice. It's good to enjoy it with a glass of cold beer.“

“Small place, small menu, great flavor. Exceptional service and friendly staff. It's in a very busy area but worth the visit. Chicken is juicy, its cooked perfectly 👌🏽 and you don't have to get any sauce on the chicken. The Golden Original is good by itself. But the sauce chicken is good too. Well, the sauces it tried were. Would definitely visit again.“

“friendly service crews…great food“

“The chicken joy are awesome. I suggest to put an extra sauce on the spaghetti... look pale“

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

“Exelente las personas ahí son de lo más atentas y serviciales 10 de 10👍“

“It's been a minute since I had Dave's, and they recently launched a collab with the animated series X-Men '97. I had to get the special X-Men Meal, which came with a cool mini-figure of an X-Men character. This location offers dine-in, take-out, and drive-thru ordering.

I've always liked the food here, and they've been consistent. The chicken slider I got with my meal was delicious, and just the right amount of heat for a medium level. I do like spicy food, so I may go hot next visit. The chicken tender was juicy and flavorful. The seasoned fries were freshly made, crispy, and hot, as well. For vegetarians, they offer a few items such as cauliflower sliders, mozzarella planks, and more.

I also got a regular fountain drink, which wasn't part of the X-Men Meal. Along with fountain drinks and iced teas, there were also bottled drinks available for purchase behind the cashier.

I dined in for lunch (before noon); it wasn't too busy, and I received my order fairly quickly. After I finished my meal, more customers started coming. There were no more seats for more guests to dine in. The dining area was clean, but only a few tables were available inside, and a few outside (without shade). The umbrellas weren't out the time I visited.

When not packed, the atmosphere is chill, and the art on the walls and ceiling adds a trendy, casual vibe. I think a few more tables could have fit in the dining area, but overall a pleasant experience recently.

Other notes:
As with most fast food places these days, download the app for deals, rewards, and more! Save time and money!“

“This is the best Korean fried chicken place ever!!!! The owner couple knew it was our birthday bc we brought cake and even played birthday playlist for us. Best Korean anjoos and chicken ever. Crispy skin and it was such an amazing relaxing vibe. Very nice and big space with lots of nice tables. They also have draft beer which is very refreshing and nice variety. Very affordable and good pricing!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ perfect place for a birthday gathering“

“the best chicken 🐔 at a great price don't have these in the Northeast“

“we don't really have a chick fill a in my city so I go to other cities that do the girl who took my order was very good taking my order except I forgot to tell her no tomatoes 🍅 but that's my fault, can you please open one in San Leandro or Hayward ca that's where I live, I'm only in pico Rivera because an uncle passed away that's why I'm in this area but I go home tomorrow 🙂“

“Chicken and little dry and rice needs flavor
My guess is when you go and pick up food utensils are in the bag provided from vendor but to my surprise I got to work and no fork to eat my rice and potato salad.
I don't think you need to remind vendor to put utensils in the bag.
Poor costumer service“

“That ginger scallion sauce hit exactly right, bright and aromatic, which is the most important thing when you’re doing Hainan chicken rice.

The chicken itself backs it up: genuinely juicy and fresh, not dried out, with that silky poached texture the dish is built around. Portions are huge and the value is hard to argue with. The other sauces run a little sweet for my taste, and so do the pickles, but the pickles are good enough that you’ll eat them all anyway. Consistent spot. Go for the chicken rice, load up on the ginger scallion, skip nothing.“

“That place tastes nice Those people know me my usual food is half chicken meal they know me and they know my food the workers who make food they know me and I like it there
Thank you so much Juan pollo covina for knowing me and for the good food“
