“We stopped in around 4:30pm on Saturday and ordered the 4 piece Spicy Cayenne Lemon Garlic Sauce chicken with Pinto and Black bean sides. It was absolutely AMAZING!!!! Better than El Pollo loco. The chicken and the beans are full of flavor!!!?Incredibly friendly staff!!! The cashier that took our order is extremely nice!!! I'm not sure what her name is but the receipt said Mora, S. Absolutely recommend Charo Chicken when in Seal.??♥️“
“I ordered the Garlic Edamame, Double Crunchy Roll, and Mango Tango. Absolutely everything was delicious. It’s a nice little mom and pop restaurant that you cannot pass up. This was probably one of the best sushi spots I’ve tried in a while!“
“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!“
“It's a good addition to your spicy fried chicken roster! I had the combo #3 and the Yoon(?) fries. My spice tolerance is on the higher side and hot wasn't spicy enough, so you can be a little adventurous here! Chicken and fries were cooked well and portions are good for what you pay. I wish the chicken was a bit crispier though, hence the 4 stars. Yoon fries were good and filling, basically fries with a chopped up tender with coleslaw and drenched in ranch. I generally love ranch but it was a bit much even for me, and it made the chicken a little soggy. I got some of their special sauce on the side and it's pretty good!“
“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“
“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 $19 for a whole chicken cut into 6 pieces, with 8 oz sides of rice, beans, and potato salad plus your choice of mild or hot salsa and tortillas. Everything my gf and I have tried has been incredible in 2 weeks we've been back twice“
“Chicken tenders: my husband and I agreed that they were the best chicken tenders we ever had ! So juicy and tender!!Corn cheese: a little too sweet and watery. But super cheesy!JR. wings: not battered and so savory!Food was 10/10 service was on point, what more can you ask for.“
“Looks and smells pretty good. I tried a piece but, my daughter ate most of it. Just ok. Long wait times in the drive-thru line but, was expected as the food is made to order . I think. The staff didn't seem to be too happy or jolly. They were not rude at all but, not too cheerful.“
“Best hot chicken samich I've had in a while. Crispy light breading, thick moist tender breast ?. Hot sauce was just right. Recommend going deluxe and combo price was a reasonable 11$. Complimentary soft serve was cherry on top. Highly recommend if you're in the area.“
“Perfect every time! The chicken is always consistently delicious and the workers are very nice. The restaurant has a lot of seating and is quite clean. The menu has a good variety of flavors and chicken to choose from so you're bound to find something that you like. They also play KPOP music videos which is a giant plus. The price is slightly higher than the average chicken place, in my opinion. However, you're definitely paying for the quality and taste. We always stop by when we're in the area and so should you!“
“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“
“Yummy food and sauces, reasonably priced food. Good portion sizes. Tender and flavorful meat. You add sauce(s) using their sauce bottles. I got the Chicken and Steak Bowl. I added their mayo sauce and spicy sauce. It was delicious. Cashier was friendly and helpful. Good costumer service. She brought the food to our table. Short wait time for food to come out and not crowded. Clean and organized atmosphere. A moderate amount of seating. Medium sized parking lot. Cypress College students get a free small drink with a bowl or plate purchase.“
“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 “
“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!“
“The chicken strips are amazing, the chicken sandwich are amazing. I've had so far the hot honey, mild, and original. I would say that the hot honey would be the best, still need to try the other flavors. The mild was ok, it was more of the seasoning instead of a sauce which was kind of disappointing, but still enjoyable. The fries were decent, but to be fair it would've been better if I would've eaten the fries then and there instead of waiting to get home. Overall, the service is great, I ordered online and as soon as I got there it was ready for pickup. Great vegan chicken spot!“
“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.“
“Went during the night with cousins, the atmosphere is too dark and moody for us, could use some more lighting.We ordered half and half, half soy and half original. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside. We also had the rosé tteokbokki. Both were fantastic and super tasty. There were complimentary water, cabbage, and radish.Will come back, honestly on par with bbq chicken which is down the street from this joint. Higher recommend this place.“

“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.“
“Great food, AMAZING price, friendly service, fantastic selection--everything you could want in a quick meal. Best of all it's not loaded down with a bunch of tenderizers and chemicals. I have a lot of food sensitivities so most restaurants are not an option for me, but this place serves food free of that crud. It's my new favorite!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“The whole chickens are delicious and plentiful. Chicken burritos quick fast meals and I'm on the go a lot. Next time I'm going to go large on the side dishes. Overall I wasn't disappointed and neither will you, gotta try for sure.“
“The wings are great and the sweet chili flavor is my favorite. I also get the korean pizza with potatoes. Most of the time I get my order to go so I haven’t eaten at the restaurant itself. Have ordered here many times and would recommend.“
“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.“
“If you don't have time for a sit-down dinner. This is just as good as the restaurant. Same wonderful chicken, sides, and biscuits. You can get anything from a 2-piece meal to a huge bucket of chicken. When we placed our order for the 3-piece meal, they asked if we wanted a beer growler or bottle of boysenberry wine. My wife likes wine more than beer, so I agreed to wine. The was surprisingly good., great berry flavor smooth finish and complimented the chicken, actually.“
“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.“
“We love this place. Call ahead and save yourself some time. When you get there be sure to get in line to pay for your phone order and you'll be set! I get #26 fish and shrimp (sole) my SO gets #23 fish shrimp and scallops (red snapper). I always get an extra side of hush puppies bCZ two is just not enough!“
“BOMB CHICKEN ?. One of the best spots around. Crispy, flavorful, and tender chicken. Yummy fries! We got half Golden Original Chicken, half Secret Sauce Chicken, and Cheesling Fries. A bit pricier than other chicken places, but it’s high quality food. They have milk tea, tea, lemonade, and alcoholic drinks. They have a white board that doubles as a privacy screen and for doodling, the marker is included. I liked how they give you a little trash can for you to put your chicken bones and trash in. Our waitress was very polite & nice. Shoutout to her. To-go and dine in options. Plenty of places to park. Moderate wait time. I would come here again!“
“I am so in love with wings and this is now down as my favorite wing place. The food has so much flavor and it's so good. Surprisingly the prices are really good I been too wings places who prices were extreme and the flavors weren't there but this place honestly prices need to be higher it's just that good. I got the lemon pepper, buffalo and Jamaican jerk. It came out really fast and the cashier was really nice I also got the daily special which was 6 boneless, 6 wings and 3 tenders with a side of fries and 3 different flavors for 19.99 it was so worth it. The vibe of the place was really good have tvs and the music was nice I loved the setting of it.“
“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.“
“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, “
“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?“
“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.“
“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.“
“Some of the best fried chicken I've had. This definitely sets them in competition with Dave's hot chicken and other places of that sort. I like how everything was really fresh here and you could taste it in the chicken. The fries are super crispy and my favorite.“
“Legend Chicken is honestly a pretty cool spot. They're chicken seems to be somewhat battered rather than fried which honestly isn't my favorite type of chicken but it was still good. My boyfriend and I ate inside and had some beers while we waited for our food. Service was awesome and the portions were generous. All in all I do recommend!“
“Best Crispy Fried Chicken. You should try the crispy chicken w/ original sauce, it's just amazing. I finally found the fried chicken I had in Korea, it tastes the same as original chicken in Korea. Server was super helful and made sure to check in on us very often, service was great overall.“
“First time for me coming here and now I’m hooked. Delightful food, absolutely love the grilled chicken, the plantains and mac & cheese! The seasoning is so good and the chicken is so tasty and not dry at all. I used to be an el pollo loco fan, but now I am a fan of Pollo Campero!!! Their grilled chicken is fire!! I’m going again today.“
“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.“
