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

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

“Ordered a wrap and the wrap is good at approx $10. I got the free dessert milk thing and it was … really warm, kinda sour, and very unappetizing so I didn’t eat it. It seemed like it was left out for … a while.

But they also have these super cute lights if you check into yelp and the rest of their food was fine. Just don’t get the dessert“

“Best buffalo cauliflower we’ve had, and we’ve been trying out “not-chicken” options for years… Dave’s Hot NOT CHICKEN is amazing.
Tasty food, friendly service & great value keep us coming back!

“I was actually surprised, this place is really good recommended by one of my clients. I got the dark meat chicken sandwich on the spicy side and fries, yall it's fire! And guess what yall ever hear of an ube cheesecake? Bomb, bomb, yall sleeping on it, and they got happy hour i think it's 1 to 4, it's the leg and thigh combo with fries and a Hawaiian roll, bomb, bomb... fries are on point!! but try that Ube cheesecake,best cheesecake you'll ever taste, smooth like clouds I'm tryna tell yall... peace out!!!“

“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.“

“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 😊.“

“best chicken ever tender ,juicy crunchy! mmm!“

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

“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!“

“When a restaurant does one thing and really hones in and masters their craft, the result speaks for itself. This place does chicken supremely well because that is all they do. The value of the meals is great. You can choose between quarter, half, or whole chicken with tortillas and sides. The chicken is very tasty and juicy, packed with flavor and perfectly made. The sides are also nice. There are some tables but they mainly do takeout. The staff are very friendly and treat you like family.“

“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 🌹.“

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

“I was craving for Korean fried chicken, and happened to be in Alhambra. This was my go to Korean fried chicken place. I ordered via scanning a QR code, which was convenient. I got wings with Secret sauce and Honey Garlic sauce. Service was fast, and servers were friendly. I like the honey garlic the most, and I could not stop eating until I finished all the wings.

The restaurant had multiple television that played sports and k-pop music videos. I like the music their play.

There are a few parking structure closed by, and parking was easy.“

“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“

“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👍👍👍👍“

“I had the all white meat Hainan Chicken plate. Everything was absolutely delicious. I’m definitely coming back. I highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“My favorite fried chicken sandwich. Consistently good. Crispy. Never too oily. The coleslaw, pickles, sauce and bread/bun blend perfectly together. I prefer the dark meat (sweeter, juicier.)

The combo comes with your choice of sides: French fries, curly fries, waffle fries, onion rings!

They also sell Boba, green teas and Thai iced tea drinks (+$4.) It goes great with the sandwiches. So when I crave a good chicken sandwich, I go here.“

“Everything is good especially there sauce, toast“

“Ordered family meal. 2 whole chickens, side of Spanish rice, pinto beans and potatoes salad. Our first time here and ? very very good chicken. We will definitely be back. The service was great. Friendly cashier recommended sides for us. Surprised we have never been here before. I would recommend this place. Rice/beans did taste saltier, but still really good.“

“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.“

“*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.“

“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.“

“Cluck2Go is the best! I love Hainan Chicken Rice, it is my go to comfort food, my work out meal, and my favorite restaurant. I am so glad they just opened this new arcadia location, right next to my office. btw. their sauces are amazing!!!“

“Wow, a hidden gem! I've never had chicken cooked this way and the flavors! The 'hot' was really good and large portions for the price! Smartly decorated with a woman's touch - and service that aims to please. Very nice place for lunch - Looking forward to going back!“

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

“I had lunch with a friend who lives nearby. Ordered the thigh and leg combo. It was really good. I live in the San Fernando Valley, but I think the food was good enough to warrant another visit here. I also enjoyed the Orange Cream drink. I rode the Metrolink train to Norwalk and took Norwalk Transit Bus 4 and got off at Imperial Highway / Santa Gertrudes bus stop to visit the restaurant.“

“Bombdizzle“

“Just updating my review because the chicken I got today was so beautiful I took a picture & posted it...my only gripe with this place is sometimes the coating is not on all the chicken today it was all a uniform wonderful color all over I would definitely kiss the cook“

“Deliciously light crispy fried chicken, and big juicy fried chicken sandwiches. I'm not a fan of the spaghetti but my daughter loves it. Their pineapple drink is a must have.
Ate in and have also used drive thru. Service has been good as everyone is always polite. Inside of restaurant is very clean but I think a little too bright or generic. In spite of small lounge chair areas, I feel they could do with a cozier vibe.“

“Soo delicious, stopped by this location coming down from Big Bear. Had been craving it all weekend, and it didn't disappoint. Everything was delicious, from the Pollo, to the frijoles, arroz, and ensalada de papa.. my mouth is watering writing this review, super sad I don't have a Juan pollo closer to Compton.“

“Always great place for Korean fried chicken. I know they are a chain, their quality is consistent. I wish they would add more dry rub flavors.
My go to flavors are always golden original, secret spicy (not really that spicy), and their spicy golden original (dry-rub)“

“I use to go too the one on Beverly in montebello. But is closed down now. Came to this location it’s my 3rd time here. I was amazed on the service! The guy that helped me had a smile on his face the whole time with a good attitude like it should be! So many fast food chains lost that! Blessing’s to you my friend!“

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

“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“

“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“

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