50 Best Chicken Restaurants near La Canada Flintridge

“바삭바삭한 후라이드, 매콤한 양념치킨과 입맛을 확 당기는 간장치킨. 중학교 시절 나에게 첫 치느님의 문을 열어준 건 치킨데이였다. 치킨데이 왕자님의 인맥을 통해 가끔씩 공짜로 얻어먹던 닭들은 나에게 있어 얘기치 못한 즐거움, 마치 공원에 누워 네잎클로버를 찾는 행운이었다. 하지만 10년이 지난 지금 난 깨달았다. 치킨데이는 네잎클로버가 아니란걸. 한국에 와서 내노라하는 네네 스노윙, BHC 뿌링클, 굽네 고추바사삭 치킨을 먹어봐도 내 마음속 한 구석엔 늘 채워지지 않는 공허함이 자리잡고 있었다. 맛은 있지만 정이 없는, 뒷마당에서 키우던 강아지를 보신탕으로 먹으면 이런 맛이었을까? 그래서 이 리뷰를 통해 치킨데이에게 사과의 말을 전하고 싶다. 너가 최고라는 걸 깨닫기까지 10년이나 걸려서 미안하다고. 너는 행운의 네잎클로버가 아닌 항상 내 발밑에 자리잡고 있던 행복의 세잎클로버라고.“

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

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

“Must try fried chicken!!!“

“One time when I got food here, the kale slaw was rotten and disgusting. But otherwise everything I’ve gotten was very good. Service is fine. The employee was a little unhelpful when I asked about what was gluten free but I was able to find the info on their website.“

“I come to this location of Dave’s Hot Chicken more than my doctor wants me to! The food is always top notch, the restaurant is always running like a well run machine, always clean, always welcoming, always a great atmosphere! The management and staff here are amazing. And did I mention the food? Seriously - skip the other hot chicken chains - this place rules. And when they say hot - they mean hot! Yessssssss!“

“Delicious! and great customer service!“

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

“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.“

“I discovered this place through a YouTuber’s recommendation and I’m really glad I tried it. It was my first visit, and while it’s easy to miss since there’s no sign outside, I had no trouble finding it.

We were greeted right away, ordering was simple, and the food was ready in about 10–15 minutes. The chicken was the highlight—flavorful, juicy, and very filling. The sides (sweet potato fries and coleslaw) were just okay; the fries were a bit soggy when we got home and the coleslaw was slightly too tangy for our taste.

Overall, the chicken alone makes it worth a visit. I’d definitely recommend it!“

“Great dinning place to eat and the music So lovable ❤️“

“Food was really good and our favorite dish was the fish sandwich. I came with friends who were visiting LA and we got one of everything on the menu to split. The habanero ranch is a must get. I did not really enjoy the chicken sandwich as the slaw was spicy. I would visit again with any guests who are craving a fancy chicken experience.“

“Muy buena la atención gracias 😊“

“Just Wonderful Place To Eat At“

“Pickled beets nice patient staff yummy everything falafals garlic sauce spread baklava humous papa....humous with eggqplant pita bread tabouli +🙂“

“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.“

“This place is truly a hidden gem. The chicken is always so flavorful, and their salsa never misses! it’s consistently delicious every single time. Honestly, it beats a lot of the big chain spots. We love coming here, and the prices are very reasonable. Portions are generous too, we almost always leave with leftovers for the next day.“

“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 🌹.“

“10 out of 10 completely. if you're looking for that chicken that just falls into pieces as you take a bite this is a spot to go to it is amazing and tender“

“*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.“

“I love the service and the food . My husband and I enjoyed it so much 🤍🤍🤍🤍🥲😋

Service was 100%

Super clean

Maybe turn off 1 of the 4 tvs and lower the music . I kind of had to be loud in order to hear my husband .“

“I absolutely love the flavor of this chicken. Great customizable heat. I've ordered both the mild and the medium and both are delicious. Tiny little hole in the wall so I always get the order to go. My only issue is the chicken portion seems to keep getting a tad smaller with each visit. Probably more a sign of the times than an actual complaint.“

“I love this place; it’s home to me with great food and staff!!!!“

“I’ve been coming to the Melrose location for a while now, and every single visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Whether you’re stopping in for their famous rotisserie chicken, wraps, salads, or sides, you can tell they genuinely care about the quality of what they serve.

What truly sets this location apart, though, is the staff. Erwin and Nancy/Nidia are absolutely amazing. They go above and beyond to make every customer feel welcome, remembered, and appreciated. Their kindness, professionalism, and positive attitudes create an atmosphere that feels more like visiting friends than just grabbing a meal. Great customer service is hard to find these days, but this team delivers it every single time.

It’s rare to find a restaurant where both the food and the service are consistently outstanding, but Calif Chicken Café on Melrose has mastered both. If you’re looking for healthy, comforting, and delicious food served by people who genuinely care about your experience, this is the place to go. Huge thank you to Erwin, Nancy/Nidia, and the entire team for always making every visit such a great one. Keep up the incredible work—you’ve earned loyal customers for life! 👏🍗🥗❤️“

“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.“

“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! 😁“

“Prob one of the best chicken places I’ve been to. The chicken is very good and pairs well with the sauce. The service is good, it’s better than Cane’s, and I love the art and on the walls. 9/10 would definitely recommend to anyone craving chicken.“

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

“phenomenal from start to finish, chicken and waffles are the best!“

“Not quite as tasty as Popeyes but the strips are consistent. With Popeyes it’s a hit or miss. Sometimes it’s a bunch of dry smaller pieces other times it’s good a lot of the big juicy stuff. I’d recommend LFC on Lake to family and friends and go again.“

“I had a fantastic experience here! The first thing I noticed was how fresh everything tasted—the chicken and fries were fried to absolute perfection. You can really tell they use high-quality, fresh oil because there was none of that heavy, greasy aftertaste, just a perfectly clean and crisp crunch. To top it all off, the sauce was spot on and paired beautifully with the meal.“

“best authentic Mexican food in town, family ran and Wonderful people.“

“Absolutely amazing. After a disappoint go at the Mancoras peruivian cuisine on main, I found this place in walking distance. Gave it a shot and the chicken is amazing. The #1 recommendation is have is the #1 Chicken sandwich (white or dark meat) it's by far the best chicken sandwich I've had. Easily blowing Raising Canes and all other chicken sandwich establishments out of the park. The balance between each ingredient was spot on and I could easily devour multiple of these in one sitting due to how good it is. 100% recommend this place.

Side note, for any people planning to eat here. Order ahead of time (sometimes it can take 30+ minutes) and avoid the wraps, go for the chicken on the bun instead. It's vastly superior because the wraps seem to be poorly constructed. The wraps seem to be overflowing with sauce which makes the wrap soft and weak so its, hard to hold let alone eat, without it breaking apart in your hands“

“My husband usually orders pickup for us and it’s so good and fresh every time! Love the comeback sauce! We always order extra for our tenders. We live next door to a Dave’s and we happily make the 15 minute drive over here for this chicken instead (: <3“

“Phone in your order to speed up the wait. I usually get the garlic chicken panini. It's so so so very good. Keep in mind the limited hours. I wish they were open for dinner. It's also one of the few places you can still get a copy of the Pasadena Weekly.

Parking: If you don't see a spot to park in front, just park in the back. You enter the parking lot on the west side of the building. There's always an empty parking spot in back, but not as shaded.“

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

“A very clean and immaculately tidy restaurant and dining area from what I saw that offered an excellent meal for a fair price.

I had the Shawarma plate and it was one of the better ones that I've had. I will really have to try their chicken next time.“

“Everything is great at Jollibee! 😋💕😁“

“Best chicken, just wish they could handle the flow of people. At least the Alhambra, Ca location is not setup to handle the amount of people in line at a decent turn around.“

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

“I am coming here from last 5 years and I love this place.“

“Really good, well cooked chicken, clean seating space but not enough parking spaces. Soda refills have to be requested at the counter, no self serve.“

“튀김 안먹는 저도 먹어 보앗는데 맛잇어요“

“This spot sells mesquite grilled chicken as a street stall. Prices are reasonable and their seasoning is SO good. Very good street food.

their chicken was charred and cooked perfectly, still juicy with each bite.

Included is: Grilled peppers, some salsa which was light and easy to dip, grilled tortillas, pickled peppers and onions, Spanish rice, and some of the best beans I've had. Beans were smoky sweet and flavorful with chicharron inside.

Would come back for some bomb grilled chicken that's for sure!

Entire chicken and all the sides were only $23. Cash or zelle accepted

Parking: Near the food4less“

“MANUEL IS A LIFE SAVIOURRRR.
Came in at 10pm drunk af. He let me charge my phone, vent about my ex boyfriend AND gave me a free sandwich? He's the best. Y'all should give that guy a raise AND I PUT THAT ON MY MAMA

Name the place “Manuels kind and lovely chicken” fr fr!“

“Great food! Rice, chicken, and pita bread! Yum!“

“My experience at Ace Burger today was nothing short of amazing! I ordered the chicken tenders, fries, and corn on the cob, and everything was a perfect 10. The chicken tenders especially stood out—they had the perfect amount of spice and breading. On top of the fantastic food, the woman who made the food and the gentleman (I believe they’re the owners) were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. Their kindness made the visit even more special. Wishing much success to this wonderful place!!

P.S. Food was so good I forgot to take pictures 😂❤️“

“The ice cream is amazing and the customer service is excellent. I will definitely be a regular customer.“
