“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.“

“Very nice discovery looking for something new and well rated. We found out when we got in with a Lima style pollo a la brasa smell that it was a peruvian place. Great quality, authentic seasoning, not greasy, nice staff. They also do many peruvian style sandwich, estilo La Lucha. Great spot, great value. Would be perfect without plastic utensils not so convenient to go over half chicken beyond the environmental impact.“

“Abdy was excellent and guided us with some great choices! Dave hot chicken tenders and sliders are awesome and what's amazing also is their kale slaw! We will be back as Abdy was great and food was fresh and tasty. Felt cozy and comfortable.“

“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!“

“Red Chickz never disappoints! The chicken is a straight 10/10 — crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The sides are just as fire, definitely another 10/10. Big shoutout to Anthony for the amazing customer service. Super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place!“

“*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 was craving for Korean fried chicken, and happened to be in Alhambra. This was my go to Korean fried chicken place. I ordered via scanning a QR code, which was convenient. I got wings with Secret sauce and Honey Garlic sauce. Service was fast, and servers were friendly. I like the honey garlic the most, and I could not stop eating until I finished all the wings.“

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

“Hi ,
Was there tonite. Ordered the 8 piece meal. Love there chicken , just wish the cole slaw had a little more juice in it. But everything was good. Also , i got there , after the 3 guys that were there ( i had placed my order ) afterwards. But mine was called first
I felt a little bad , but i think they all ordered fish and /or shrimp , so their orders take longer ( making them fresh ) some of the chicken is premade , under the warmer. But still taste great !!! :)“

“I got the double smash burger with jalapeños added, which is a great tip because you get the freshness and the heat but also that way you get the grilled onions and pickle.
This place is my new favorite place to get a Smashburger from( give it a full 10/10.
The burger was super flavorful !!!
The guy manning the business in the mourning was personable and had great customer service skills. The burger had a lot of flavor great ratios of meat, cheese, onions, and bread wasn’t too bready. The fries are solid lightly seasoned. I personally like a little more but you can always add more but can’t take it off so I get it. I’m going to come back and try the chicken, can’t wait. Props to the owner . wish much success for all entrepreneurs who take pride in their craft. 💪✌️“

“muy bien, lo recomiendo es buena. sólo que hay una que me atendió se puso un poco prepotente pero salió bien“

“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! 😁“

“Delicious food, fried chicken 🐔 the bomb and the pickled veggies are so good. Definitely a place to go in the DTLA area.“

“chicken tortilla soup very good“

“Chicken is not greasy and their potatoe and macaroni salads are good too :)“

“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“

“I’ve never been to this place because the area always scared me but I wish I came here sooner!! This place has one of the best tasting chicken in the area it was so good and the fries were pretty decent. The staff were friendly and give you large portions whenever you want Chinese food so that’s dope! It’s just a shame the area brings the place down.“

“Hands down the BEST chicken I’ve ever had! The flavor is unmatched—juicy, perfectly seasoned, and always cooked to perfection. Every bite tastes fresh and delicious. The sides are just as good, and the portions are generous, so you definitely get your money’s worth. The staff is super friendly and the service is always quick, which makes the whole experience even better. Whether you dine in or take it to go, the quality is always consistent. If you’re craving chicken, this is THE spot—you won’t be disappointed!“

“The food here is pretty good! My friends and I got the Bulgolgi Poutine, Rose Ddeok-Bokki, and the Honey Garlic Wings. I definitely recommend the honey garlic wings, it's super good! The service was great as well-- our server was so sweet and kind, she made sure we were okay. The place is somewhat spacious, there's lots of tables there!“

Their $10.99 dinner special—half a chicken with two sides and tortillas—is an unbeatable deal. Absolutely amazing!!!“

“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.“

“Holdaak Fried Chicken is a great spot for Korean-style fried chicken lovers. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the Seoul Spicy Chicken Sandwich is a must-try. The daikon slaw adds a nice fresh crunch, and the fries are perfectly cooked. The staff is friendly, though service can be a bit slow during busy times. Overall, a tasty and satisfying experience.“
