“I'm here just about every other weekend to get takeout for the family. The Indian flavors really come through in an exciting way. The rotisserie chicken is one of the best I've found in LA, and it's not even the best chicken on the menu. Anything with beans are a must-have.“

“Decent foods that make you feel like you’re eating healthy for the day. Fresh juices/drinks.“

“Went in late at night on Sunday 7/13. Dominic was front cashier. Straight up and serious, not in a bad way but a “Get the job done” typa guy. Only downside was they had powered off the shake machine early so no shakes available. Other than that, they had everything else available! Solid location.“

“I love how vintage it feels when you walk in, the jams are fire, it feels like you're at a music record store but you're actually there for a delightful meal!!! I got the 6pc wing combo, with the gala mala and red disco and let me tell you it was sooo good but I definitely recommend the gala mala if you want that spicy kick. we also got the lemon curry with popcorn chicken, supa fire chicken!!! my man got the a chicken sandwich, don't really remember the name but it was fire ahh chicken, I think it was honey something... oh and the service was exquisite!!! super chill spot, not packed and everything is fresh so there is a lil wait time.. I forgot to take pics of the food 😩“

“They have really great flavor for their chicken. Their sauce is top notch. I am not a fan of thousand island but their sauce is really good! I love that it doesn't have pickles. Oh and the seasoning for their fries! Delicious and mouth watering flavors! Their bread is the perfect softness and there is enough chicken for every bite! Even the coleslaw they use taste great! Again, not a fan of coleslaw but theirs is a subtle flavor that just complement the slider sandwich.
I am a big wuss when it comes to spicy food but even their no spice selection is loaded with flavor!“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“Hidden Gem in Pasadena! Very Yum!“

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

“The chicken tasted the same from when I was a kid. It’s been over 20 years and they haven’t changed. When I walked in and saw the wooden orange chairs, all I could do was nod my head up and down thinking “ yuuuup this is how I remember it” It was a pretty cool moment and an AWESOME TREAT🍗🍗🍗❣️❣️❣️I’ve gone 2 Sunday’s in a row, my Pioneer Chicken craving has been accomplished👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“Food was great. This was our first time visiting and we had a great experience. The cashier Alex had really great customer service and made are first visit that more memorable. His customer service was better than some of the other sit down restaurants we been to. We will definitely be coming back again.“

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

“Our first time ever Trying the Vietnamese food! One word ; THE BEST!!“

“Can’t believe I waited this long to try this place!!!

I finally gave this place a try and got their top loaded fries regular size which came with six chicken bites. It was more than enough for me.

The sauce and balance of flavor, sweet, sour spicy, salty, tangy all just blended so well together. The coleslaw on top of the fries was an excellent touch. The chicken was incredibly juicy too.

Food was prepped before estimated time. Restaurant was clean and staff was friendly.“

“Not cheap, but you will get what you pay for. My Thanksgiving, Prime ribs are always from this place. This Thanksgiving was almost 41 lbs. USDA prime.“

“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.“

“Really good Peruvian Food we had the whole chicken 2 of them and 3 Lomo saltados with rice n beans homemade flour tortillas nd all the sauces they had were really good. Delicious grub..“

“I’ve been coming to Savoy Kitchen for a long time, and it’s still one of my go-to spots in the area. We ordered a spread of classics during our last visit, and while the food is still generally good, a few things felt a bit different this time around.

​The Hainan Chicken Rice is what put them on the map. The chicken itself remains incredibly tender and juicy, and the trio of sauces still hits the spot. However, the chicken-to-rice ratio was definitely off on this visit—there was a mountain of rice but a pretty small portion of chicken. More importantly, the rice lacked that incredibly rich, savory chicken broth flavor that used to make Savoy stand out from every other spot. It tasted a bit more muted than before.

​Luckily, the other dishes we tried held up their end of the bargain:

​The Bread: Served fresh and nicely seasoned, though it was on the denser side rather than being light and airy. Still good for snacking on or soaking up extra sauce, just heavier than expected.

​Chicken Pasta: A comforting, simple dish with plenty of tender chicken strips tossed in a light, savory broth.

​BBQ Chicken Pizza: Generously topped with thick slices of chicken, red onions, and plenty of melted cheese.

​Savoy is still a classic, and the meal overall was satisfying. I just really hope they bring back that signature richness to the chicken rice and balance out the portions again!“

“The best quality meat 🍖 👍“

“Our food was exceptionally delicious! Wonderful flavors and delicious cucumber mint agua fresca too! Also fun, cozy atmosphere inside too. You can tell when you’re there it’s a very popular eatery, and for good reason! I’ve been there twice in as many weeks and I can’t wait to go again! 😁“

“This place is truly a hidden gem. The chicken is always so flavorful, and their salsa never misses! it’s consistently delicious every single time. Honestly, it beats a lot of the big chain spots. We love coming here, and the prices are very reasonable. Portions are generous too, we almost always leave with leftovers for the next day.“

“I was looking for a new Chinese fast food place. I was worried about the dishes not being fresh. After looking for some reviews, I found this place. I decided to give it try.Staff was friendly. Menu was pretty clear. The dishes looked good and appetizing. I got the 3 items combo. All tasted good and fresh. I'm happy with the quality which is really important to me.I definitely can recommend this place!“

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

“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 🌹.“

“Great food priced right! One of our favorites places to eat at’“

“The fried chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, absolutely delicious! The burger is packed with flavor, with a thick and juicy patty and soft bun. Generous portions, well-packaged, and delivered quickly. Very satisfied and will definitely order again! 好吃 汉堡好大啊“

“*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.“

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

“I love the service and the food . My husband and I enjoyed it so much 🤍🤍🤍🤍🥲😋

Service was 100%

Super clean

Maybe turn off 1 of the 4 tvs and lower the music . I kind of had to be loud in order to hear my husband .“

“I absolutely love the flavor of this chicken. Great customizable heat. I've ordered both the mild and the medium and both are delicious. Tiny little hole in the wall so I always get the order to go. My only issue is the chicken portion seems to keep getting a tad smaller with each visit. Probably more a sign of the times than an actual complaint.“

“The chicken was freshly prepared with a light, crispy batter. I must admit I would've liked a bit more seasoning on it. My husband wished that there would've been an onion and pickle option for his sandwich, but the hot sauce helped. The place was very clean and well stocked... including the bathroom🎉. My server was kind and helpful... which I needed since I'd never been there.“

“Super delicious!

First time I've ever tried dry rice noodle - delicious! The dipping sauce that came with it had a hint of caramel- not too sweet. Try this!

Best part: Eating this with some fries and garlic wings with Peruvian green sauce.

Plus the staff was kind + warmhearted. Definitely give this place a shot.“

“chicken tortilla soup very good“

“Toyitos is a jewel in the city of Downey. Best Rotisserie Chicken around. I love Chicken with fries and Salchipapas( sliced hotdogs and fries). The chicken has special peruvian flavor and peruvian sauces. Don’t forget the ice cream Lucuma flavor, and the peruvian soda Inka “

“This fried chicken place tastes much better than the one next door, and the food comes out quickly. They have many flavors for the chicken wings, especially the garlic soy sauce, which I absolutely love. The cashier is also very friendly. Very good.“

“The food here is delicious 🤤 Definitely a must try for anyone who loves Nashville hot chicken sandwiches“

“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“

“I finally got to check this place out. I've been wanting to go since it opened.

I got the chicken and rice meal. It was really good! The only thing I would do different is ask if they could heat up my chicken. I was not expecting cold chicken with warm rice.

I got takeout to eat in my car but waited till I got home so I could warm up the chicken. It was much better. I loved the dressing and exhaustion those onions. Absolute perfection.

Staff was very friendly. The establishment is super clean. They were still baking cookies at 8:00 p.m. which is great for those who love an evening snack!“

“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“

“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 😂❤️“

“This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants, especially when I'm craving a great chicken and rice dish. They make it incredibly well, and what keeps me coming back is the consistency. I've been eating here since high school, and the flavor has remained exactly the same over the years—a rare quality that speaks to how much care they put into their food.

The restaurant has a warm, family-owned atmosphere that makes you feel welcome every time you visit. It's the kind of place that has built a loyal customer base through good food, friendly service, and reliability. If you're looking for a comforting meal with flavors you can count on, this spot is definitely worth a visit.“
