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.

“The food is pretty good, with a huge variety and different ways to dine in with chicken. I especially love their sauces, its to die for. I loved the service as well, I had a worker named Rory who brightened my day with small talk. Not only that they were able to get my order up fast and easy with no complications and even after giving me my food, a big 'ol thank you and have a nice day from Rory made me feel comfortable in the space. All and all amazing place to dine for fast food- would try again!“

“Thank you so much to the staff!

We arrived during the last 25 minutes before closing, and we were welcomed with warmth and kindness. The staff took the time to explain the menu and help us with our choices

Thank you again for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back earlier next time 😊🫶“

“from the moment we waked in we received great service! Jamal was so welcoming, asked if we wanted recommendations and we did .. we ordered what he recommended and it was amazing! everything was filling. we ordered the crimson (medium) & joey eat fries (mild) . i don’t do spicy, so medium was a bit much for me, so i would advise mild if you’re like me. The dressings and pickles helped me! also overall A+ definitely coming back!“

“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“

“Tried Dave’s Hot Chicken and it was really good!
The chicken was super juicy with a crispy coating and strong flavor. I got medium spice, which was perfect🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️

Sliders were the highlight, fries were just okay. A bit oily, but definitely worth it for the taste.

Overall, a solid spot for spicy chicken 🍗🔥“

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

“Everything about Pops is fire, they’re long lines go by quick thanks to the fast cashier. The food has always been consistently delicious. The seating is limited, but most people take out. Check it out if you’re in the area and want some rotisserie chicken.“

“Love the interior of this place. Upon walking in, it is nice and bright. The staff was super friendly and the girl in front was very helpful.

I had a few items including their waffle, chicken sandwiches, and tteokbokki. The way they fry their chicken is so good. The skin is super crispy yet the chicken inside is still juicy. Also, this might be one of the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. The waffles are crispy on the center and soo fluffy on the inside. They also give you whip cream and butter with it. It was delicious. If this was a breakfast spot, I would go back to order the waffles every day. I also like how much toppings are in their tteokbokki. The flavor was really good and wasn't too overly spicy which I enjoy. The chicken sandwich was a little hard to eat because it is HUGE but nonetheless, it was great. The chicken wasn't dry even though they were tenders. Overall, I really liked my meal there and found it really delicious.“

“Ordered for the first time from their and it was great. Many more choices than other delivery apps and great prices too. Even had a call with the restaurant on items ordered. She was very helpful, kind, and supportive. Great food and great service! Thank you so much!!“

“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!“

“You know you’re going to have a good time when you see the infamous bee mascot and smell the fried chicken aroma as you get close to Jollibee. It has been a true staple every time I have visited Filipino friends, gone to a Filipino party, or just wanted some good fried chicken.

The service every time I have visited here has been consistent. They’re friendly and get the orders right every time. Good job to the team and management at this location!

The food here I have noticed has been a bit inconsistent compared to other locations. The fried chicken is sometimes too salty. Overall, not a huge deal but it is something I have noticed.

If you’ve never tried Jollibee before, do yourself a favor and go! Make sure to get the spicy fried chicken (if you’re a fan of spice or even if you’re not since it’s not really spicy at all) and the mango pie. Thank me later!“

“I showed up at 10:09. It opened at 10:00 and already had 2 people at a table and 4 in line ahead of me. I ordered the Yaho Special with salmon substitute and shrimp. Both the grilled salmon and shrimp were wonderful. I'll definitely be coming back here the next time I'm craving grilled salmon or shrimp.“

“1st time at THIS location, staff was very nice. Food was excellent as is the case with all POP'S establishments. I ordered the fish plate, it was 🔥! Could not stop eating the chicken too! Will be back again since its closer to home.“

“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. 💪✌️“

“El mejor pollo y burritos y tacos“

“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!“

“This chicken is absolutely AMAZING. I am gluten free and very much enjoyed the 50/50 plate with the regular and sweet and sour. SO GOOD. Even better - I have now found a fried chicken place to share with friends who don't have gluten issues. I'd share a picture... but it smelled so good, I forgot to take one and we ate it all.“

“chicken tortilla soup very good“

“I haven’t been there in years but tonight we decided to go tonight it did not disappoint. The chicken is yummy.“

“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! 😁“

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

“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.“

“We were recommended to this place by some friends, so we decided to give it a try. We walked in and were immediately greeted, asked if we knew what we wanted. We said we needed a coyote of minutes, but the gentleman said no problem, but answered some questions we had. We ordered the chicken skins, hush puppies and the #1 with light meat (breast and a wing with potato wedges and a roll). The hush puppies were so flavorful, no need for a dipping sauce. The chicken skins were huge and also very flavorful. I finally got to my chicken because it was so hot, I'm not sure because I had the other stuff, but the chicken wasn't as flavorful as the other stuff I had. The potato wedges were good, very hot as well. We will be back! Good value for what you get!“

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

“I’ve ordered from this place 7 to 10 times and finally figured out. I should probably review it. I only order takeout. Never had an issue with my order and the people who give me my order when I pick it up are nice. Never have had an issue with the chicken. The fries are actually really good. I’ve ordered the boneless and the bone in wings and they’re always excellent.“

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

“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.“

“Everything is good especially there sauce, toast“

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

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

“For Mothers Day We ordered the Jumbo Meal 3 Chickens and All 3 xl sides Potato Salad because we had rice and beans at the house. It was amazing as always still hot after a 20 minute drive. My in-laws picked it up and drove it down to South County for a visit. It fed 9 people and we got seconds. The Potato salad here is the best! I could eat it every other day. Such an amazing texture. I have gone to other chicken spots and they are good but Juan Pollo is the best.“

“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 ❤️“

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

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

“Nice lunch/takeout spot in the area. It is one of the reliable go-to place in the area.

Hainan chicken is nice and definitely lighter meals to go for. Fried is solid but better chances when the owner makes them himself. The price point is very approachable and nice. However, I find this place inconsistent with portion and service time-to-time.

I know big chains can be reliable but we need more restaurants like this that could provide you something different and wider options. I hope this place does well.“

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

“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!“

“Out of all the Lousiana's I've been to from Los Angeles, Carson, Compton, and now this one in Long Beach area, they have the best prices, for the items I always order (chkn wings/catfish fillets) and is fairly large in size. This is my 4th time here. Food, service, atmosphere is great, cleanliness is also a plus. This one uses the actual Hawaiian sweet bread rolls. They use fish fry for their fish as opposed to the same chicken batter like many of the other Lousiana's. THIS ONE also has a fish market where you buy and they fry as well.“

“Todo está muy rico 😋 gracias“

“Amazing fried chicken“

“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.“

“So good! I got the crunchy garlic chicken wings but the cheese balls OMGG sooooo amazing I was not expecting how good they were crispy deep fryed in a very slightly sweet batter filled with a chewy melted white cheese! I feel its a must try!“

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

“You know, Korean style chicken has evolved over the past decades in Korea itself and the market’s saturated with many brands more popular than Pelicana, but Peicana was one of THE original brands known for their spicy seasoned chicken (yang nyum)

I have not tried any other Pelicana locations, and I have no particular comment for their regular fried chicken, but the spicy original seasoned chicken at this particular Artesia location is VERY good with generous sauce on the bottom of the box to dip in any portions that you want more of it on. My hubby says it tastes just like what he used to have back in the days (tho he is more of a Kyo chon consumer in Korea, but here in the States this is his favorite). So I would say (for those who like ‘em of course) just get the original spicy seasoned chicken and you won’t fail. Plus the lady who runs the place is very, very nice — three times we bought from her though she doesn’t seem to remember (-;“

“If you want a delicious, quick and easy meal Pollo campero in Stanton is a great place to go. This location has outstanding customer service. They will treat their customers, right. Provide all the a little extras that make it worth it and the food is superb. I highly recommend.“

“the best chicken 🐔 at a great price don't have these in the Northeast“

“After a fun, family day at the park, we headed over to Knott’s Chicken Dinner. There were 7 of us. Our daughter in law gave us a heads up that the portions are big and sharing is a great way to go. The menu has a wide variety of chicken choices. My wife and I got the roasted chicken. It was AMAZING! The rest of the group got chicken fried steak and fried steak. All DEE-LISH! Dessert is included and we had boysenberry pie and boysenberry ice cream! Beyond good!! But aside from the food, the real highlight of our meal experience was our wonderful waitress Belinda.! She was the best. Friendly and attentive and worked hard to keep our group happy. She went above and beyond with us when we inquired as to whether we could get some of that boysenberry ice cream to go. She went back and chatted with her manager and was able to find a solution for us. We were able to leave the restaurant with about a pint of that delicious ice cream. It was a great family, dining experience and again, Belinda just made it that much more special! Hopefully when you go to eat there, she is your waitress.“

“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!!!“
