About Lucky Bird

Based on reviews, Lucky Bird is a popular fried chicken spot in Los Angeles' Grand Central Market, known for its citrus-brined chicken with a light, crispy crust. The restaurant offers sandwiches, tenders, and buckets, with a modest food and drink menu and counter seating for dine-in customers.

The chicken is the main character, perfectly cooked, ridiculously juicy, and the crunch is next-level. Reviewers call it the best fried chicken sandwich in LA, describing it as crunchy and moist on a fresh roll. The spicy chicken sandwich has more of a hard crust than usual fried chicken crunchy texture, but is still very juicy and tasty. The flavor hits in layers, with a bold spicy kick that melts into a subtle honey sweetness. The bun is soft and slightly glossy, holding everything together. The slaw is outstanding and highly recommended. The banana pudding, available only on weekends, is creamy, nostalgic, and almost like eating a cup of banana cheesecake. The JoJos are crispy with nice seasoning, and one order is enough for two people. Prices are a bit pricey, but the staff are affable and attentive.
