Chicken Restaurants near Santa Fe Springs

“We purchased online 12 piece reg. recipe chicken, picked up, ate 7 pieces at home, and chicken was over done, and crunchy, and did not taste anywhere as good as KFC is. So I returned to KFC location and spoke with Ariana, I expressed my concern, and she asked me what I wanted to replace it with, I said 5 pieces of legs and thighs. She took my bucket of 5 pieces and brought back 12 pieces of legs and thighs in my bucket PERFECTLY DONE. WOW, I said thank you very much, I didn't excpect that. I retain my high regards for KFC taste and service.

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“I love there rice wing. I don’t come here often but when I do come down to Fullerton. I always try to order the wing because it so crispy and so good. It’s one of the chicken place I would die for. Sooooooo delicious“

“Tried this place a few days ago, ended up going there 2 days in a row! First visit I tried their Crispy Chicken Sandwich with Extra Hot sauce and fries, and it was a hooting delightful! Next I tried their Garlic Parmesan wings - ordered extra so I could put them in fridge to eat later. Very high quality food!“

“I worked t Pioneer Chicken #1 on Echo Park as a cook, prep, and last as a manager for 13 years . I never got tired of eating Pioneer Chicken. I always go to Soto and Whittier location“

“Dylan was very enthusiastic about the service that he was providing. He was very engaging which motivated me to rate his service and to sign up for the app. Dylan should be commended and given a certificate Of appreciation and a monetary award for the great job he’s doing.“

“First time trying Crimson Coward and was a bit hesitant due to the higher than average costs for Hot Chicken... but let me tell you... they're chicken is ON POINT!

The chicken is super tender, fresh, crispy, and best of all - HALAL... the breading is probably the best I've had of all the hot chicken places I've tried. I tried the Medium spice level and it was perfect for me. It had the perfect heat level / kick and with their tasty ranch, it was perfect!

But the best part of my meal here was the excellent service I received from the 2 guys working, Jeremiah and Angel... these guys know how to treat customers, especially when it's your first time. Gave me the perfect recommendation and went above and beyond to make sure my first-time experience was nothing short of amazing. Well done, fellas. Thank you. It will be hard to eat at Dave's after trying this spot. The chicken is chef's kiss 👨‍🍳 🤌💋

Go check them out!“

“Best grilled chicken. I drive from redondo just to come here. The prices are insanely reasonable. I always get the 2 chicken combo with sides or 3 chicken combo if I have guests over my house. The sides are incredible too. The rice has a corn finish to it with perfect taste, no salt needed as it’s seasoned perfectly. I’m not a fan of beans but they’re very similar to my grandmothers (they’re not fried beans). The potato salad is addicting too, it’s really my guilty pleasure and the last thing we run out off. Pops Chicken HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“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 ❤️“

“If I could give this place 10/5 I would! At first I thought the place was sketchy at first but most good places do lol Franchise chicken places hardly have any meat on their chicken and the grocery stores always make their chicken too salty. TOTALLY DIFFERENT GAME HERE! Went here one day for a chicken plate and the pieces had plenty of meat, hardly greasy, lightly seasoned, and overall tasted like good ol home cooking 🤤. Just came here again to try their fish and shrimp and again, it was excellent. Most fish and shrimp places drown their fish in thick bread-like batter that makes you feel sick in a few bites. Here however, the fish and shrimp are fried in a seasoned thin peppery flour mix, basically a thin batter 🤤. I don't think I can go anywhere else for fried chicken and fish. JUST BE SURE TO AIR OUT THE FOOD TO LET IT COOL DOWN WHEN YOU GET IT!! YES! ITS THAT FRESH! AND THAT GOOD!“

“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!“

“After so many times of having gone to this shopping center for the other stores, I finally took a chance to come in, and I thought it was pretty good! Staff was friendly, they were really patient with me. Food came out in maybe ~7 minutes or so, so that's pretty standard. I thought it was pretty good! Was reading some of the reviews saying there's no flavor? I don't know, maybe I've become such an old man👴🏻 now, I thought it was good. Not over-the-top. Someone said they barely gave any cheese over the fries? My observation was that they meticulously layered the cheese, so that it wasn't just a giant slab on top with nothing on the bottom. I've never been to any other restaurant that goes through that level of detail to make sure the right amount of cheese is evenly distributed across the fries like that! BRAVO!👏🏻 Shoutout to the 1pm crew! You guys are awesome!

Also, for as long as they've been in business, EVERYTHING is clean! Like, not a hint of grease staining the floors or the furniture.“

“The chicken here is consistently tasty, which keeps me coming back for the family specials. My whole family enjoys the flavor, and the service is impressively fast. The portions are generous, and the pricing is very reasonable for the quality and amount of food provided.“

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

“I love this place all the variety of plates are really good we ordered the 3 taquitos dorados and for dessert canela Nachos with ice cream and oh my God are really really god. Angela has and excelente customer service she recommended us this dessert thanks Angela for been nice and make our day better with your attentions. God Bless you! And guys don’t forget the cucumber agua Fresca is really good 😊.“

“the food is amazing and testing is great 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Small takeout restaurant.
Serves a good value meal of steamed chicken plus flavorful rice. Think of Hainan chicken.
Quite tasty and tender chicken including a trio of sauces that enhance the taste, I was told my the server that it’s best to mix them.
Beef dish available as well as a garlic noodles option.“

“Ciro!!! Wow! I want to take a moment to recognize an outstanding employee at Dave's Hot Chicken, Artesia, CA branch, Ciro!!! From the very first time we visited, Ciro stood out with his exceptional service and genuine positivity. He is consistently polite, respectful, and radiates a welcoming energy that truly enhances the customer experience.

Ciro goes above and beyond in everything he does. Whether it’s during a rush or a calm moment, he remains calm, efficient, and professional. He handles pressure like a pro. Always with a smile, never missing a beat. It’s rare to encounter someone who brings that level of dedication and grace under stress.

Employees like Ciro are rare gems. I strongly believe that he should not only be recognized but rewarded. He is exactly the kind of team member that any business would be lucky to have.

He truly deserves a promotion and continued recognition for his outstanding contributions. Thank you, Ciro, for being consistently amazing!“

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

“I HAVE A SHOP DOWN THE STREET AND THIS IS MY GO-TO PLACE FOR LUNCH. IT IS QUICK AND EASY. IT IS GREAT FOR LUNCH WHEN YOU WANT SOME PROTEIN AND VEGGIES INSTEAD OF FAST FOOD. I'VE BEEN THERE SO MUCH THE GIRLS KNOW ME AND MY ORDER. THEY ARE GREAT!“

“AMAZING! We will be back! The employees were so wonderful and kind to myself and my family, and the food was delicious! Huge portions as well! We will be back!“

“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.“

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

“está bien buenas las ensaladas y las papas riquísimas👍👍👍👍“

“The chicken sandwich I had for lunch was the best I've ever had! The slaw was perfect and I'm not a slaw fan. The bread was soft with a slight butter taste. The chicken was crispy with just a touch of spice like I asked for. The fries were excellent. This is my new go to for chicken. I'd post a photo but it was already gone.“

“I enjoyed the chicken tenders and the loaded fries were awesome. A little heavy on the sauce but I feel like it really added to my experience. There’s no inside seating but some seats outside if you wanna eat there. The chicken was well seasoned and I would eat it again. Did not pick up phone when I called ahead but the order only took like 20 minutes for three fresh orders of chicken so I do not mind at all honestly, quality takes time.“

“I ordered Combo number one they were decent size sliders came a coleslaw and pickles it was absolutely amazing I got hot Flavor. The fries had a really nice season on ate every single bite I was full and I was happy this is way better than Dave's hot chicken. If you haven't tried it do yourself a favor and go. Did I mention it's a little cheaper than most hot chicken places. The girl is kinda cute too“

“Everything is good especially there sauce, toast“

“I just got a bowl at the new spot by USC. Juicy chicken, nice fluffy rice, The chipotle sauces are tasty and service was fast. I'll get another bowl for sure.“

“Amazing food! I drove from Long Beach to Anaheim for the food and it did not disappoint. The chicken was moist and the potatoe salad is the best ever! I first tried Juan Pollo a few weeks ago and a colleague bought chicken for our staff. Today we returned the favor and got some b for ourselves. Amazing! Try the cayenne dressing. It’s good.“

“Best ice cream around. Employees are awesome.“

“best chicken I Have ever had. loved it! Thanks“

“My partner and I always try to stop by whenever we’re in the area! It’s a long drive but so worth it! We’ve only really had the fried chicken but they’re always so delicious and consistent each visit. The inside is usually kind of empty, I wish more people came by to appreciate their food!“

“Buena comida selos. recomiendo 😎😎😎“

“Was craving fried chicken came across this place. Really had a great selection on the menu. Prices were very reasonable but most importantly, the food was grade A! I got some chicken drumsticks with some waffle fries and it didn't disappoint. Definitely coming back.“

“best chicken in LongBeach 👍🏼👍🏼“

“came here w/ friends for a quick fresh wings + yap sesh ! it was so hot today but their fried wings were so crispy and they have 2.99$ pints of draft beer going on!

super friendly and patient service, perfect place to order food and take ur time yapping with friends.

i highly recommend the wings (house sauce) with cheese powder on the side, and I LOVED THEIR CHEESE BALLS! it was so chewyyy mochi and was a lil sweet.“

“I should have taken a picture of the food, and I usually do, but we dug right in. The salsa with the pillos is super fire. There is a hint of spice to it, but the flavor is amazing. The next day, I took the leftover to work in my heated lunch pale and mixed the salsa and beans in it, and made a dish that was smackin.“

“Good food and the service is great, the only thing that bugs me is the tiny parking space. Its always full. It's expected of Asian food strip malls because everyone wants to eat the delicious foods. Other than that, its great.

Good luck trying to find parking.“

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

“Service is top notch. The gave me a real fork, a real knife, a real plate, and then, brought it to my table. I wasn’t expecting all that from a fast food place. Then the chicken and the yucca was exceptionally good. This place was awesome for any price but for what they charge, they’re definitely the best out here“

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

“Todo está muy rico 😋 gracias“

“Legend Hot Chicken is a really good chicken place! Think of it as a Korean Cane's (their LHC sauce = Canes sauce).

The waitress Luna was very friendly, amazing, polite, and helped me choose what flavors to get and items to get based on popularity. (Honey bee is popular, but I prefer Sweet and Spicy).

Wait time doesn't take long, usually about 15 minutes. The chicken wings and tenders are cooked fully and they are loaded for the sauce. Definitely, recommend the combos as you get a lot of food for the money.

I look forward to coming back here and trying out the other flavors.

Thank you Luna and staff!“

“chicken tortilla soup very good“

“Out of all the Pelicana spots I’ve tried, the one at The Source OC is definitely a favorite. We got there around 5 PM on a weekend and didn’t have to wait at all, which was nice. Our food came out pretty quickly too.

We ordered the combo set for three people- boneless half & half chicken, cheese balls, sweet potato fries, and tteokbokki. I honestly didn’t expect much from the tteokbokki, but it was way better than I thought! Just a heads up though, it might be a little too spicy for some people- proceed with caution!

The music was a little on the louder side, but still good enough for a conversation. Overall, a great spot to hang out with friends or family!“

“The food here is delicious 🤤 Definitely a must try for anyone who loves Nashville hot chicken sandwiches“

“I stumbled upon this place while working in the area, and I'm glad I did. The chicken was perfectly seasoned, the beans were delicious, and the salsa and tortillas tied everything together. Their $10.99 dinner special—half a chicken with two sides and tortillas—is an unbeatable deal. Absolutely amazing!!!“

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

“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!“
