“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“

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

“Absolutely insane. Chicken was extremely flavorful, juicy, crispy n spicy, all the same time. Asked the guy if 3 fingers would be enuf for me, he said it was small, so I ordered combo #4, 6 fingers. Boy, they r massive and come with a tub of fries, couldn’t finish them all, could only eat abt 5. But it was top notch taste, probably top 2 chicken I ever ate.
And yea, the spicy flavor is spicy enuf; don’t get it if u r lightweight. If u want supreme, u have to sign a waiver. ?“

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

“Love this place!
I stopped by Chicken Koop in Whittier the other day, and I’m still thinking about it. The naan bread alone is worth the visit—so soft, warm, and fresh, it’s basically impossible to stop eating it.

The team here is awesome, too. Everyone’s super friendly and makes you feel welcome, like they’re happy to have you there. It’s just one of those places where you can tell they care about what they’re doing.

If you’re in the area and craving something delicious, you need to check this place out. Great food, great people“

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

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

“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.“

“This place is great has really crispy juicy chicken, new staffs tend to forget sides but nothing they don’t fix they go beyond to fix their mistake and always a welcoming environment.

Parking: Parking can be found in the front of the store both coming in on both opposite side but when unlucky you can always take that turn before or after the store and behind there is a big lot for self
Parking to Just dine in or pick up.

Kid-friendliness: There been 2 occasions the kids where with me while having lunch a bit nervous but the restaurant staff accommodated us all with seating and kid safe plating and utensils, they made us all feel welcome.“

“I ordered food to go and picked it up so i really can't comment on the atmosphere except to say there were a lot of people dining there. I had made a mistake in my order before i got there, but they were very accommodating in changing it. All their food is delicious, but I have to rave about the chicken! The taste is so good and it's so tender. My family always orders for parties because everyone loves the chicken.“

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

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

“This chicken is delicious and a great value for money. Two of us are full for under $25 and brought home leftovers!
The chicken is perfectly roasted and flavorful. The lemon that comes with it makes it even better. The rice and beans are tasty and work well with the tortillas (we got half flour, half corn). The hot salsa adds a nice fresh taste. Overall, a great meal. I think next time we'll do takeout, though.“

“Pretty empty when we went in on a Friday afternoon. Just me and my son. I just got a order of three chicken straips, $15 w combo ( fries and drink) I just got my chocked and my son ordered chicken sandwich combo w Mac n cheese. It came out to $32 which was easy too much for me just getting three straps.

It was good but not worth the extra cost. I do love me done canes

“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.“

“The food is really good! I bought lunch for me and my parents and they enjoyed the food. I got the hot spicy level and it’s a good amount of spice. The man at the front is very nice and answered my question about spicy level since it was my first time there. I also asked for one combo with the sauce on the side and I received it just like I asked. Service was quick. The restaurant is clean and in a convenient location.“

“*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.“

“That food was soooo freaking good. Yes, go. My mom sent me back the next day too?. The fried catfish was excellent & the chicken was delicious ? I do not make this review lightly because I frequent high-end reatruants...but when the food is this good, I'm going to say so...keep up the good work!!“

“Everything is good especially there sauce, toast“

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

“chicken tortilla soup very 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.“

“Excellent crispy chicken sandwiches that are made fresh- light with a good crunch and not oily. They are a little light on the bun bun sauce and we needed to order a container on the side to split which is an extra 50 cent. The curly fries were ok but not as crunchy or seasoned as one would hope. The walnut shrimp on bun seemed like a missed opportunity to be honeyed walnut shrimp on a bun- I think candied walnuts would elevate it some but that’s my take. The actual sandwich itself was fresh but also missing some sort of sauce and the shrimp patty itself is one note flavor wise but a good crunch.

I’d come back here for a crispy chicken sandwich and try the wings. (Though I’m concerned about sauces for the wings)

It’s street parking btw“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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 😂❤️“

“Bombdizzle“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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 love the best chicken restaurant that's similar to a Mexican restaurant, except when the meal cooks fast. Juan Pollo has been around in exact 40 years since 1984 and it's mostly famous for chicken. With the flour tortilla, I can even make it into a burrito, add beans, and potato salad on the inside like a new concoction.“

“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.“

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