“We moved closer to this location and have visited a couple of times. So far so good. Except it does seem over staffed which is unusual these days. There’s like 4 employees who are just standing around either not sure what to do or “don’t have anything to do” and I put that last remark in quotes because there was trash cans over full and the bathroom could using a cleaning. There’s really always something to do in fast food, you just have to take the initiative and do it.“
“This has got to be some of the best fried chicken wings I have tried! These oven baked wings beat out some of the best fried wings I've tasted. Their flavors pack a punch in a delicious way. I really enjoyed their volcano (decently spicy), soy garlic and sweet spicy. All of the flavors were pretty fantastic. I'd skip over the fries as they have an interesting after taste. Their baguette bowl is a sweet garlic cream cheese filled bread bowl. Overall, it is a fantastic new wings spot with a lot of good options. I'd definitely come back for more.“
“This place is so cute! It reminds me of a hipster joint you would find in LA or Tokyo. They play funky music and offer happy hour everyday 8pm to close and you get $2 off munchies (their version of appetizers or small plates) and $1 off drinks. The food can be pretty spicy. For example, the drunken noodles were like a 7/10 on spice level. The boat noodle soup was loaded with robust flavor. The fried chicken wings appetizer was moist with a sweet and tangy sauce. They offer a variety of drinks from Thai tea to fresh coconut as well as unique desserts! I've been to Thailand and some of the best Thai restaurants in LA and OC and this place ranks among them for their creativity and uniqueness. The service is good and everything came out in good time. Another plus is that they provided eco-friendly to go packaging AND their water is fresh and clean! Didn't taste like tap water! I'd come back to try their other foods but make sure that the spice is not as intense.“
“5 stars! Our go to order is one fried and one original (each served with choice of steamed or garlic rice and 2 sauces so you get 4 different sauces total) + two boba teas (Thai Tea and Brown Sugar are our favorites but we're working through the list lol) - all super delicious! Order on their website or call ahead for easy pick up. Fast and friendly service always at this local family business. Free street parking right out front or go east on 4th and turn south around the corner.“
“This place has been opened for ten months - how could I have not known about this? Until my neighborhood friends recommended this place. No more making the drive in traffic out to Savoy in Alhambra when craving for Hainan chicken rice. It's a small restaurant tucked behind Popeye's fried chicken adjacent to Auntie Anne's pretzel and Jamba Juice. They have a limited menu that specializes in chicken rice. For my first try I kept it simple with Hainan chicken rice to go order. There is regular and a larger size portions. The perfectly sliced boneless chicken sits on top of ginger chicken broth flavored rice comes with minced cucumber slices, and three sauces sambal, soy sauce, and ginger sauce. There is also a small side of chicken broth. The chicken tastes clean, no MSG detected. Next time I'll be back to try the fried chicken. No cash accepted, pay by cashless credit card or Apple Pay at the kiosk.“
“These guys have dialed it in! In response to a message I recieved after my prior review I requested no seasoning and well done for my fries and wow, what an improvement! The chicken crimsons were amazing as always. 10/10 This time we tried the onion. It was kind of like an awesome blossum from outback. 9 bucks and lots of delicious crispy savory onion for the price. This place is very nice inside, I carried good out this time but, used their restroom on this visit. It is very clean and well maintained. We will be back for sure, thanks for the good eats, Crimson Coward!“
“Perfection! Got the og chicken and waffle sandwich. So yummy! The strawberry lemonade was good too. There is indoor seating and out door seating/ patio. Very clean. With nice restrooms. Staff was super nice and quick. Brought the food right to our table. I would come here again. Highly recommend“
“I've had the pleasure of dining at Noble Bird a few times now and they never disappoint. The menu is simple and yet packed full of flavor and healthy ingredients. Their fried rice is out of this world! I was taken aback at how quickly I devoured it. The Thai Noodle Salad is another one of my favorites. It was absolutely massive in size so I had it for lunch the next day. Regardless of what you order, it'll leave you thoroughly satisfied without feeling overly full. A fantastic place to dine or takeout at any time of day!“
“If you like El Pollo Loco, Juan Pollo, or Charo Chicken then you'll love El Pollo Dorado which imo tastes far better than the others. Their mini pack meal is around $19 for a whole chicken cut into 6 pieces, with 8 oz sides of rice, beans, and potato salad plus your choice of mild or hot salsa and tortillas. Everything my gf and I have tried has been incredible in 2 weeks we've been back twice“
“Wow. I'm so beyond thrilled to have found this tiny little gem! The food is beyond delicious. Take a trip to flavortown and enjoy the ride hahahaha this place is insanely good. I got calamari and some penne russa (I think) with chicken and it came with a salad WHICH WAS ALSO SO DARN DELICIOUS. Everything was delicious. Everything was hot. The man who I believe was the owner gave me theeee best service I could ask for after a long day of work. The place looked so cute and cozy I wish I could've stayed and dined in. Found my new favorite Italian spot in Long Beach!! Thank you so much for the amazing food and service! I will definitely be back“
“A hidden gem! The store seems to be a mom and pop store with great food! We got the huckleberry club and the cashew chicken. The price is great for the price you pay. The vegetables were the freshest ones ever! The squaw had a nice taste that paired well with the chicken. The pickles in the sandwiches were sooo good; they had a great crunch and acidity. However, it was kinda messy and the bread is a bit small for how many toppings were inside. I will definitely bc coming back!“
“I came here craving shrimp but ended up ordering fish as well to share with family. The fish (catfish) was absolutely delicious and moist. And the sauce that came with it was remoulade which was also delicious. I would come back just for the fish but I also still need to try the chicken. Definitely recommend ?Parking: There’s a tiny lot in front of the restaurant and some street parking. Might be challenging to find parking when it’s busy.“
“It's always seemed to me that chain restaurants tend to be best right after they've opened up, and that's definitely the case here. Zankou Chicken is always good but this new location seemed just slightly better than the older ones. The food came out immediately and yet it was hot and fresh, like it had just been made. My only complaint is the complaint I have about Zankou in general, which is their portion size. Their quarter dark meat chicken plates are too small, but a half chicken would be too much (and I don't like white meat anyway, so it would be wasted on me). I always leave a Zankou still somewhat hungry, and that shouldn't happen, not with the prices they're charging. Please, Zankou, offer a three-piece chicken option! Either that, or get bigger chickens! The chicken legs you use are tiny!“
“Best hot chicken samich I've had in a while. Crispy light breading, thick moist tender breast ?. Hot sauce was just right. Recommend going deluxe and combo price was a reasonable 11$. Complimentary soft serve was cherry on top. Highly recommend if you're in the area.“
“Looks and smells pretty good. I tried a piece but, my daughter ate most of it. Just ok. Long wait times in the drive-thru line but, was expected as the food is made to order . I think. The staff didn't seem to be too happy or jolly. They were not rude at all but, not too cheerful.“
“We went to the Jay Bird's location in the Long Beach industrial park food hall. It was a weekday around lunch, so the place was packed with employees of the surrounding business. With the many options, it's easy to be distracted, but Jay Bird's should be your go to spot. They started to really grow a couple years ago and their food and service is why. Each time we've gone, we experience impeccable service. This time around, we ordered the Mac Daddy, which is a friend chicken sandwich loaded with mac n cheese. While it might seem heavy, the cheese sauce is surprisingly light and doesn't overpower the sandwich. It adds a delicate creaminess and great flavor to the sandwich. The chicken is juicy and cooked to a nice level of crispiness. The crinkle cut fries are not a home run, but they're seasoned well and I don't have any complaints. They have a small counter area for dining, but there are tables around the warehouse that are shared amongst the other restaurants. The staff was friendly and they were quickly making the food. Jay Bird's is always consistent at their various locations and my go to "chain" for a fried chicken sandwich.“
“The most delicious, freshly prepared, juicy, well seasoned chicken breast sandwich I've ever had! It was great. At first, I thought it was burned because it was a really dark brown. But that's because it was saturated in seasoning. I chose the hot one and it was hot! Took a few minutes to sink in. The sauce that came with it looks like thousand island dressing but doesn't taste like it. Kinda hard to describe the taste except it Kinda cools down the intense heat and pairs well with the chicken. I really enjoyed my sandwich and I'll be back.Vegetarian options: Fried cauliflower wings substitute for chicken“
“A charming spot for a casual lunch. We indulged in classic burgers, chili fries, shredded tacos, and loaded chicken fries. The service was prompt, and although the place was small, it offered a comfortable atmosphere. Think of it as an upgraded version of fast food, tucked away on the side streets of Huntington Beach Main St.“
“This place is hidden on 4th street. There is plenty of street parking in front of the restaurant. It's not that busy later in the evening. The service was quick. The ambiance is super cute with the cherry blossom tree and the art on the wall with the chicken. This is a cashless place since they recently got robbed. So make sure to help out this small business!I got the original hainan chicken rice. Everything was flavorful and spiced right. The sauces that came with it was perfect. I love how chicken is cooked steamed as it was juicy and not try. I would get this again. If you're sick, get their herbal chicken soup. It has 5 spices and Gojo berry, which is beneficial when you're sick. I definitely will be back here to try their bubble teas too!“
“I tried this place on a whim and it did not disappoint. I had never had Nashville hot chicken and it was great. If you’re greedy like me, then the portions are more than enough. I’ll be coming back to this place when I’m in Long Beach. Oh I had the hot chicken “

“Fresh and delicious.Located inside 2nd & PCH downstairs across from Shake Shack. Came here during the weekday for lunch. Restaurant was clean and was pretty quiet, maybe saw 1-2 ppl while I was eating there.Asked the lady for recommendations, and she was so nice. Ordered the 6 wing combo ( Thai chili). Food was hot and fresh. Wings were crunchy, great flavor, and not spicy. Fries were so good - seasoned well and crunchy. I would definitely get that again.“

“I LOVE it here, they have such a great menu, great team as well along with great creative ideas with new flavors. I love what they offer and the food hits every time and I love the sauces too because they are so creative with it. The quality of the produce they use is on point and you don't feel cheated for your money when you eat here, plus it's a great price too. You GOT to try the DRAGONFIRE sauce too, it's so perfect.“
“Cluck & Blaze is pretty popular. There were a lot of people that came and went in a short amount of time, but it wasn’t packed.I ordered the main chick combo which comes with 1 side. I got the Mac n cheese (should have more cheese in my opinion) and I pretty sure much inhaled it. Try dipping it in the ComeBack Sauce!!The Main Chick Sandwich was delicious, especially the coleslaw, and the chicken was juicy. For the heat level, I chose You can do better (mild) which I regret because I don’t eat a lot of spicy food. So I died inside and it didn’t help that the sandwich was hot. Overall, everything was great. This place is for people who love spicy food, but I’m going back just never choosing mild or above.“
“This has to be one of the best places if your looking to eat some bomb gril chicken ,2 chickens,2 rice,2 bean and a 3lt soda,and its about 30 dollars and it feed about 4-6 people I get it for my family of 4 and we still have a ton of leftovers. Not only that they have other options if your not a beans and rice person. The people here are literally the sweetest it's always so welcoming here. Would 100% recommend you coming here.Parking: Lots of spaceWheelchair accessibility: They have a wheelchair accessible parking right up front where then entrance is at“

“The food was delicious and fresh. The chicken was juicy and not all greasy. The sweet and spicy sauce was perfect and the shrimp fried rice was simple but superb. Our waitress was very patient and kind. The customer service was great and she answered all our questions. We would definitely drive from afar again to eat here.“
“Delicious food, in a fun location! What more could you ask for? Good service? They've got that too. The guy behind the counter is hilarious and provides great service. Ordered the sunshine and Nutella love waffles which are Soo tasty. Also ordered a chicken sandwich minus the provolone and it too was wonderful.“
“I've been coming here for quite some time. The person in the front is very kind and always greets me in the warm and nice way. I have recommended this restaurant to a few people and their experiences were the same. My go-to is the Combo A, It comes with Rice and Teriyaki chicken, two rolls, salad and gyozas. The food is always fresh, and the taste is delicious. I can't stop eating at this restaurant. The food is great.“

“I've been going here since they've opened and this is by far the best Lebanese food around! It makes you feel like you've had a home-cooked meal the owner. Bruno was beyond nice and welcoming. It's so refreshing when the food matches the excellent service. I would highly recommend this place my kids love the food as well. It's always a hit.“
“I had high expectations from the pictures and reviews, but they were still blown away after my first experience eating at Lacquered. I brought my family to dine-in on Easter Sunday and they had a blast drawing on the placemats and trying all of the popular fish and chicken dishes. Scott was also a blast and was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond for our first time there.We tried the five-piece fried chicken plate, 2 piece tenders with fries, fish and chips, chicken salad, and mac and cheese. We recommend each one of these plates and we will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.“
“Main chick is probably the best hot fried chicken restaurants I’ve been to & this spot does it right.I just ordered a tender and leg quarter both at medium spice with lots of mc sauce. They were both cooked perfectly, tender juicy and full of flavor. The mc sauce really adds that balance and it was an amazing lunch.I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. Parking is plentiful but don’t know what it’s like during peak times.“
“Inside a small food court. Served by the sweetest staff. Small menu: we liked the dried cheese powder flavor - i think jt has like dried egg yolk flavor too. We also like the spicy soy garlic. I recommend adding double mochi orders they are soft fried pillows!!“
“Tried the Dave's Not Chicken sandwich and it didn't disappoint. It was crispy and freshly prepared, it was still hit when I got home. My fries could've been hotter but they were good just not off the fryer hot. I added some fresh spinach and onions and it was really good with the sauce provided..The staff was extremely nice and everybody had a smile on their faced..I will go back to this location.“
“Tips for a busy night: Placed party of 3 on waitlist, it was anticipated to be 59-78 mins, then arrived on time to check in. The hostess asks what you want to order at the door (so be ready). Once a table opens up, you are seated and your food comes out almost immediately. Ambiance: Easy, laidback, food shared family style Food Ordered: Bulgogi Garlic Noodles Garlic Fried Chicken Wing Luv Dduk All 3 of us voted for Luv Dduk as our fav despite getting heartburn later. That is to be expected at my ripe age, but so worth it! Then the fried chicken comes in second, followed by garlic noodles. I would totally come back. Friendly staff, good food, bumpin' playlist and easy parking. What more could you ask for!“
“Hubby and I were craving for Korean fried chicken and searched up places on Ubereats to try. We were sold on this one and placed an order for golden original and spicy golden original. The chicken was yum and super crispy! I highly recommend their spicy golden chicken. My eldest doesn't eat spicy food but she said the flavor was too good and would suffer through heat haha. Food also came with pickled radish. Highly recommend giving this spot a try.“
“Hands down the best fries chicken in Long Beach and the BEST french fries. They are never soggy and always well salted.The chicken has come along way since opening and I love to get those juicy thighs. Japan and the South are tied for chicken fried deliciousness.So get some anime going and order some karaage and fries immediately.“
“Was looking for late night Korean fried chicken and happened upon this place. The restaurant is within a little plaza so it's a little difficult to see from the street but quite spacious and clean. However, it was strangely very empty.. Got there around 7p, left at 8p, and we were the only table the entire time. I guess a good place for pickup though, as there were a quite a few to-go orders during that time. I thought it would be more bustling as they open pretty late and offer alcohol but it was very, very quiet.Get the original wings and a sauce. Their base flavor is good on it's own if you prefer OG fried chicken.“
“I ate there plenty of times so I know they have great service and food. There's nowhere to sit and eat but that could be a great thing for owners because it lets customers get in and get out. And for me that's how I like it, no extra people just kicking it and being loud.“
“Amazing Garlic Lemon Chicken! It truly is seasoned to perfection. Tried it for the first time yesterday and had to come back again today for take-out. Services is also amazing - very friendly. Now that I've discovered this place I'll be returning frequently. Highly recommended.“
“Best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever had, the chicken I had with the boysenberry BBQ sauce was amazing and the boysenberry juice was really good too. The bread rolls were fresh and tasty. The waiters were very nice and even funny. I’ve been wanting to go back to this restaurant for months now.“
“I beat the lunch rush today. Ordered a market salad and dined-in. The server was very pleasant and greeted me as I walked up to order. My order came out quickly (the server was right behind me with my order as I was selecting a table). I know this location gets very busy, but the inside is always neat and clean. My salad was tasty as always. I appreciated that it contained more darker green lettuce and less of the paler & bitter stem pieces. I recommend this location.“
“The 2 piece strip combo with fries was good. It actually made me full. The vanilla cookie smoothie was good as well. I enjoyed it. It was just missing something else on the combo to give it more taste to the meal. I think just one piece is good enough to order. I honestly got a bit full when i ate the first piece. The hot sauce is good. I appreciate the service here.“
“First time here. The food was really good. We ordered the chicken sandwich meal and the grilled club sandwich meal. Everything was delicious. Joyce was very attentive making sure we had everything we needed. She is very friendly, she made the experience there so much better.“
“Not bad at allll. I've been passing by this place and I always wanna try it. I finally did. Chicken is fresh and tasty along with the beans and rice. I like how they offer homemade tortillas. For what I got, I thought it was fairly priced. The server Mia was nice and attentive. Although I wasn't too fond of the parking, what do you expect in Long Beach?“
“Omg it deserves all the stars in the world, super clean, super spacious, very well attended by all the staff, it's very popular, people couldn't stop coming in... that means it's great, I personally like it It looks like the chicken we eat in Colombia, it has no fat omg what else can I say. Super delicious, “
“My wife and I stopped by this restaurant quite by accident. I'm fact, I had never heard of them at all. But, we were cold from watching a sunset, and hungry because we stayed out too long. So, in we went. We were the only customers at that time. We had questions: about the food, the salads, the sauces, just everything. I had a Korean hot chicken sandwich combo, which included their special fries , and a drink. My wife had the 1 bowl Korean combo , which included a side salad and a drink.I was impressed with the courtesy, patience, and knowledge of the young lady who served us (Samantha). I was equally impressed with the food, which was hot and spicy and very tasty. The portions were large.I would not hesitate to eat here again.I do highly recommend this restaurant.It is way better than average.“
“chicken is very top tier, i got a lvl 3/6 (medium) and it gave the right amount of kick. it's enough to take a bite and you feel it instantly but you also feel the actual heatness of the chicken so it gives the thought that your bite is even spicier than it actually is. the fires have the outer layer of like breading which makes it crunchier which is what my preference is for fries in general. not gonna lie the actual store is kind of lonely since there was only 2 customers that came in and i was there for 50 minutes. the art on the walls are very nice though. one little thing that makes the service better is that the cashier brings your order to you which i didn't expect but it's just the tiny things that go a long way.“
“I ordered three chicken fingers by itself today for the first time. Typically I will get a combo box, which includes their secret sauce. I was unaware that when you order à la carte, the sauce is not included, rather they have to charge you $.42. I was pretty displeased hearing that, and may have overreacted with the pointless charge. Thus, was not going to proceed with my order, and just be on my way. A manager by the name of David, then assisted me and explained the reasoning as to why, still didn’t really make sense. Why are you going to charge for sauce when you’re ordering three chicken fingers… And the manager, David, confirmed he would waive that fee for me this time. Upon driving up to the window he comped my entire meal, apologized and was sympathetic to my frustration. Then I felt bad for my petty complaint, and wanted to pay, but he refused at that point. Thank you for doing the right thing and ensuring I stay a loyal customer.“
“They really need more staff for this location, there is no excuse for poor service and being out of items. Last time I visited, they had a sign saying they were short staffed. I should have just walked out and ate somewhere else. They had one very slow cashier to handle all the customers, and for the food, they were out of spicy chicken.I asked when the spicy chicken would be ready, they said until further notice. It's understandable to short staffed during the pandemic but this is a busy location and there is no exuse for not having enough staff or food. Also the food buzzer system was not working, so they just called out your name. They seemed to be backup up on orders, and several people were waiting a LONG time to get their food. My order took around 25 minutes, and the average fast food time in the area would be 5- 10 minutes.Update, they brought back spicy chicken so all is right again. Must have went on bad day, glad they improving.“
“This is my go to spot. I take my grandson here at least once a week. I appreciate that the staff are always friendly & willing to give suggestions. While it is fast food, it's cool. I always use the drive thru which is almost always busy (breakfast, lunch & dinner) but quick and convenient! Our favorite breakfasts are the chik fila minis & our other go to is are the nuggets. I always get a bowl of fruit to share. I also like their salads for lunch. Go and enjoy!“
“If they gave half stars, I'd give it a 3 1/2. The food was good, which is most important. But there could've been more coleslaw on the chicken sandwich, and in my opinion every meal should come with pickles. The atmosphere and customer service were lacking. Every restaurant owner should go to In-N-Out Burger and model their customer service after them--welcome me and my family into the restaurant, ask us how we are enjoying our meal and if we need anything else, and thank us on the way out for paying $50 for four sandwiches. The temperature inside the restaurant was sweltering hot, the bathrooms were gross and unkept, and the soda machine well was overflowing and messy. There was a lot of employees standing around, which should never be the case.“
