Daybird serves up some of the best fried chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had! The chicken was perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor.
The spice level was spot on—just the right amount of heat to keep things exciting without overpowering the taste. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in LA!

Honestly, the best chicken sandwich I ever ha in my life 😋❤️. I was still able to taste and enjoy all ingredients even though it was hot 🔥. Not a big fan of fish but my friend gave it 💯 as well.

We saw on YouTube that the seasoning on the chicken is very fragrant

Daybird is one of my go-to spots living on the east side. I was blown away by the cod fish sando!! It was so juicy, and their tarter sauce is top notch. Chicken tenders are next-to-none, always fried perfectly and with a great seasoning and exterior. Chicken sando is also very very solid. 10/10 spot

Parking: Limited number of spots in the parking lot, but they’re usually always more than a few available

I found this place's chicken and fish to be very good. It wasn't my favorite as I am definitely more of a Dave's fan but I do think the portions were fantastic and the crunch was great! I do think the chicken was a bit on the sweet side for my taste but the tartar sauce on the fish was delicious 🤤 I would also recommend the potato salad but note that having the potato salad and a sandwich will fill you up considerably.
This place was definitely a bit crowded when I went and I really think the hype of it is overblown but I do think they have solid food and would recommend and return when I am in the area. I would recommend adding maybe a few stools to the counter because standing and eating, while sometimes fun, can be a bit frustrating, but this location is small so I understand there is only so much management could do.

I recently tried this place and have already incorporated it into my weekly rotation. It is so good! I’m a bit of a baby when it comes to spice, so I usually opt for the “Mild” chicken sandwich after trying “Medium” the first time. The meat, slaw, AND sauce are spicy, so keep that in mind as you decide your spice level. The first time I could hardly eat my sandwich, but I suffered through the heat because it was so tasty. 🤣 The mild version is much more suited to my midwestern palette but still has some heat. I wish the sauce were included with the sandwich, but at $1 extra, it doesn’t break the bank. I always order a side of pickles to temper the heat, and they’re a great addition imo. Highly recommend this spot! It’s affordable and tasty with generous portions, and above all, it’s consistent! It hits every time, and as many of us think more carefully about our spending in these inflationary times, that’s important! Great spot for lunch or an easy dinner!

Daybird is a vibrant and innovative dining establishment located in the trendy Silver Lake Plaza of Los Angeles. It stands out as a pioneer in the fast-casual dining scene, infusing Szechuan flavors into classic American comfort food. During my recent visit, I had the pleasure of experiencing a culinary masterpiece known as the *COD SANDO*.

The *COD SANDO* is a true culinary triumph, featuring a tender, breaded, and fried cod fillet infused with the tantalizing heat of Szechuan chili oil. The delicate seasoning allows the fish's natural flavors to shine while providing a satisfying kick of spice. Nestled in a soft bun, the cod is accompanied by a slice of creamy American cheddar, adding a touch of indulgent richness, and enhanced by the zesty yuzu tartar sauce that elevates the entire sandwich to gourmet levels.

The accompanying fries were a perfect balance of golden crispiness and fluffy interior, serving as a delightful canvas for savoring the lingering flavors of chili oil and tartar sauce. Paired with a refreshingly tart strawberry lemonade, the entire meal felt like a harmonious symphony of flavors, each component enhancing the others.

The atmosphere at Daybird perfectly complements its daring menu, blending casual elegance with an energetic vibe that mirrors the creativity of the dishes. Whether you're seeking a quick bite or a leisurely lunch, Daybird offers a dining experience that transcends the typical fast-casual setting, introducing a unique and flavorful twist to the Silver Lake food scene.

For those in search of a fresh and unexpected culinary adventure, Daybird is an absolute must-visit. The *COD SANDO* isn't just a meal; it's a captivating exploration of flavors that lingers on the palate long after the last bite. This establishment effortlessly marries East and West in the most delectable way, making it a highly recommended destination for anyone yearning to experience something truly original in Los Angeles.

Wanted to like this place I've been a few times. But tbh it's overall disappointing. Chicken sandwhich has more breading than any other ingredient and it's just not very good....
