“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“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 🍗🔥“

“I saw this restaurant on Facebook or Insta on Friday night and the pic and menus made my mouth water. We took take out on Saturday night and the chicken was mouth-watering! I want to swing by again tonight just for the chicken. Since we did take out, when I got home the fries were cold and the salads were just OK. We didn’t care for the dressings they provided, (but that is just personal taste) I would definitely recommend, it is new to our neighborhood and we will eat there again.“

“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!“

“The breaded Shrimp with rice, beans and the brown sauce! Just like the good ole’ days!“

“Main Chick Hot Chicken in Pasadena is 🔥 🔥 🔥 meaning 😋 Always fresh and thier chicken taste tasty & crisp! Only drawback is that this particular Nain Chick don't have the seating so either you order togo, uses ubereats or the Doordash! Whichever, their food was amazing & you will be happy!“

“*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.“

“Such a great hospitality! During this difficult times I Loved the fact that today they were so special with the costumers and shared a fresh cut 🌹.“

“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.“

“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 !!! :)“

“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“

“Chicken is tasty. My only question is why you can only have one flavor per order? We would have spent $60 for the large order to try four flavors. Were told that's impossible. Hello? Even WingStop is capable of delivering multiple flavors in one order.“

“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.“

“People say this spot has some of the best fast food fried chicken. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their 4 piece meal with half fried and roasted chicken, beans, plantains, and tortillas. Yall know im a bean fiend and these beans were smooth, savory, and flavorful. The plantains were sweet, soft, caramalized, and a bit tart? Not really for me. The roasted chicken was super savory, flavorful, juicy, and actually really yummy. The fried chicken was perfectly crispity crunchy and just as flavorful and juicy. Pro tip is to make a taco using the corn tortilla with all the yummy ingredients. This place is actually pretty good.

4 pc meal $16.30 before tax“

“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“

“The chicken joy are awesome. I suggest to put an extra sauce on the spaghetti... look pale“

“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.“

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

“The food is fantastic, the cooks are simply amazing, it is a hit and miss with the people at the register, today I was served and taken care of by a gentleman by the name of Manuel, this person was exceptional, gladly took my order over the phone, mind you ,we are bus operators and we are always on the go, we call to put in our orders in hope that we dont have any further delays, we give the people enough time to get our orders ready and mind you we will never cancel , we have about 10 drivers that simply love this place, but at times ,we have reservations because we are in limbo of who we are going to get on the phone, for years ,we have been a patron of juan pollo, we need consistency...thank you guys“

“This spot sells mesquite grilled chicken as a street stall. Prices are reasonable and their seasoning is SO good. Very good street food.

their chicken was charred and cooked perfectly, still juicy with each bite.

Included is: Grilled peppers, some salsa which was light and easy to dip, grilled tortillas, pickled peppers and onions, Spanish rice, and some of the best beans I've had. Beans were smoky sweet and flavorful with chicharron inside.

Would come back for some bomb grilled chicken that's for sure!

Entire chicken and all the sides were only $23. Cash or zelle accepted

Parking: Near the food4less“

“Chicken was very good, will be back. Next time going to try the shrimp, I hear that is also very good.“

“This is the first time I've bought food here, I ordered last minute.. the food was freshed the chicken is seasoned well, big pieces.. I was very surprised,and oil fried... I recommend this place and a good price it wasn't expensive..“

“I partook of their mango habanero and ghost pepper wings when they were set up in front of the bruery tasting room and was very impressed. They have tasty well seasoned party wings and when they say spicy they're not lying. Try the corn! They are making magic with simple ingredients.“

“ots really good i havent had any bad experiences their. the food is really good spicy. chicken my favorite. Mac & cheese. Your in and your out. i like it must try“

“I went into the KFC/Taco Bell and the stores was very clean. I was greeted with smiles and acknowledged. Francisco took my order and was very polite and professional. Service with a smile. I’ll be coming back again and recommend my friends to come here.“

“he'll mf yea this place is amazing. best tasting chicken sandwiches! real spice if u can handle the heat“

“Kfc is so good that I wish I could eat it everyday (well not everyday) ;-)“

“It was a very nice experience visiting this KFC in my home town. The service was very efficient. Very friendly. 👏“

“My experience at Ace Burger today was nothing short of amazing! I ordered the chicken tenders, fries, and corn on the cob, and everything was a perfect 10. The chicken tenders especially stood out—they had the perfect amount of spice and breading. On top of the fantastic food, the woman who made the food and the gentleman (I believe they’re the owners) were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. Their kindness made the visit even more special. Wishing much success to this wonderful place!!

P.S. Food was so good I forgot to take pictures 😂❤️“

“Decided to give it a try while deciding what to eat for dinner at the Arcadia mall food court. I have tried Chick-fil-A sandwiches but never heard of this place. Ordered the Texas toast chicken sandwich and surprisingly it tastes pretty good and better than Chick-fil-A. The chicken is not dried and the sandwich is not salty. Will definitely try again if I am in the area.“

“Came here this past Wednesday with my parents after hearing great things from a friend about Soonheene and Twozone Chicken. Soonheene actually started in Seoul’s famous Gwangjang Market where they were known for their pancakes, so I was excited to check it out.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Esther (the owner) and her daughter. They both went out of their way to explain the menu and answer all my questions with genuine smiles. That kind of hospitality really sets the tone for a meal.

We ordered the Pork Mungbean Pancake, Rose Tteokbokki (creamy rice cakes with fish cake and sausage), Bibim-Naengmyeon (spicy cold buckwheat noodles), and a whole fried chicken split into two flavors. Everything we ordered was delicious and tasty. For half the chicken, I went with the original but added green onion and their special oriental sauce drizzle. The other half was spicy soy garlic. I’ll admit, I liked the original better. I second-guessed myself when the owner’s daughter mentioned soy garlic was their number one most popular flavor followed by honey butter, but I thought I would be different and try the spicy version. The spice kind of drowned out that garlicky soy flavor, so lesson learned. Next time I am going straight for the soy garlic and honey butter combo.

For drinks, we tried the Korean coffee and cold yuzu drink, both refreshing and a nice complement to the food. By the end of the meal, everything was so good that I even found myself asking about catering their chicken for future events.

The vibe inside is really comfortable with soft K-pop playing in the background. It is just enough for atmosphere but not too loud, so you can talk easily. The only tricky part is parking since it is in a busy plaza with a lot of other restaurants, but at least it is free.

Overall, this was one of the most unique dining experiences we have had recently, made extra special by Esther and her daughter’s hospitality. I love supporting family-owned spots like this, and I will definitely be back to try that famous soy garlic and honey butter chicken next time.“
