Chicken Shops near South Pasadena, CA

“El pollo loco is always a great place to go when you want Mexican like food.. I typically get the chicken nachos..it used to be 5.00 and now it's 9.65? Not sure why.. probably changed it.. maybe the chicken.. I don't know.. but the people are always nice.“

“Restaurant specialized in fried chicken, excellent quality and variety of its products.
The state of the premises is unfortunate with the presence of homeless and aggressive people inside, the staff in charge does nothing about it and to provide comfort to customers.
Sanitary batteries out of service.“

“Fantastic meal here! The menu can be a little complicated to fully appreciate, but the staff offered great recommendations. Flavors are excellent, with just the right blend of Latin and South Asian flavors intermixed to create delicious foods.

While we only got to enjoy lunch here, we're excited to come back for some of the creative brunch options and delicious sounding apps/small plates. Definitely come try it when you get a chance.“

“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?“

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

“My hubby and I have eaten here a few times but to go. We got a little bit hungry and decided to eat some lunch and dine in. The worker was very welcoming and inviting. Great customer service. We grabbed combo with 2 chicken sandwich and fries. My hubby got the mild and I got hot. Didn't think it would be like fuego in your mouth but it sure was good. The worker then said " too spicy" ,I said yes and no. She then said it was the green reaper chili they use on their sandwiches. Then she then suggested I try their RIP...I was like next time we come I will 😬😬😬. Try their food if you like spicy and can take the heat then stop by. Food had flavor and was delicious. You won't be disappointed.“

“Rice Chicken is a must-see place for lovers of Korean fried chicken and the authentic flavors of Korean cuisine, with the added bonus of being gluten-free thanks to its use of rice flour.

From the menu, I tried the oven-roasted Korean BBQ wings, which were perfectly seasoned and juicy. The spicy seafood soup offered an ideal balance between spiciness and sea flavor, while the sweet & spicy sotteok (rice cake and sausage skewers) was an explosion of flavors. Lastly, the tornado potato was not only delicious but also a visual treat.

The service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff making the experience even better. Plus, they have valet parking for only $3, which is very convenient in this busy area.

Rice Chicken is a gem in Korea Town for delicious food, quality service, and affordable prices. I will definitely return!“

“AMAZING!! THE BEST PLACE IN SOUTH EL MONTE!! TRY THE LOMO SALTADO ANDA THE TIKI FRIES“

Got to try it!

Parking: I go there after 7pm after my work. Good about street parking

Kid-friendliness: I always buy pop con chiken and Korean ducbokgi for me and my boys

Wheelchair accessibility: I think so.....“

“Delicious food, awesome service! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“I've been to the store in Rowland Heights last week, as a huge fan of fried chicken, I definitely had to give this branch a try as well, and see if they have the same quality at different loctions~

Ii really like how they have the chicken fried to order, and when I got my whole fried chicken, I like how they got a bunch of different seasoning powders to choose from, and I highly recommend the Sichuan peppercorn. It's got that numbing and spicy kick that's so refreshing!! The chicken was as crispy as the one I had in Rowland Heights~

I tried their New Orleans flavor chicken wings as well this time, the wings are marinated just right, but I still like the whole fried chicken best, it's a must-try!“

“Daybird serves up some of the best fried chicken sandwiches I’ve ever had! The chicken was perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor.
The spice level was spot on—just the right amount of heat to keep things exciting without overpowering the taste. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in LA!“

“Great food Great place Definitely will return“

“Hidden Gem in Pasadena! Very Yum!“

“happily 😊 surprised. lunch on the run. Good Chicken!“

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

“Dave's food never disappoints, when I order online and by the time I get there food I'm ready to go. Service is quick and efficient. And place always looks spectacular, nice and clean. Overall the experience was awesome, will be going back again.

Parking: Plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a side curve that makes it wheelchair accessible.“

“Went here twice (once w/ friends and once alone) and both times the food was not only fresh but really good
It's so sad to me how both times I went here it was so empty, people really don't know what they're missing out on.“

“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“

“A great place for contemporary southern style chicken, sides and desserts! Rotating selection of side dishes some of which are vegetarian. I had the chicken sandwich (amazing!) and a side of chipotle macaroni salad which was also incredible. The desserts like the banana pudding pie are also a sure thing and all portions are generous.“

“Found this place on a YouTube food review channel. Vegan option AND shrimp! The mild is still spicy so if you have Gringo tongue, I recommend country style.

Vegetarian options: Cauliflower Sandwich (people claim it taste like chicken) 🐔“

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

“If you are a wing lover, you gotta try out the wings here. Chef said lemon grass flavor is the best-seller so I gave it a try. Yo! It is so delicious! You can smell the refreshing lemon grass from the outside,
meanwhile this flavor melted into the meat! Will try out other flavors later but since they have so many flavors, it is hard to choose which one to try next.“

“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 😂❤️“

“The chicken is amazing. Brought out by a great, friendly staff who's always on top of their game. I highly recommend the Nashville. Great food at a reasonable price. Two thumbs up.“

“It is the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever eaten at. Unfortunately there isn’t one where we live. But anytime I am in CA we always go to the one in Riverside.“

“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!“

“Bro, it is exactly the same as KFC in China. Not only the taste is the same, but the effect is also the same. I felt sick within an hour after eating it. I will come again next time!
Update: I ate it again on September 9th and it ran away again.“

“The waffles taste similar to the premade ones you’d find in the frozen section of a grocery store. However, I appreciated the presentation and the excellent customer service. Due to a system issue, my delivery was delayed by almost an hour, but they apologized and prepared fresh waffles for me. That level of care has convinced me to order from them again.“

“One of the best chicken sliders I’ve ever had. The honey based sauce is to die for. The food slaps hard. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.“

“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. ?“

“Just Wonderful Place To Eat At“

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

“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.“

“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 stumbled across “nugtown” for late food in the area and was pleasantly surprised! Not only was the food made fresh to order - I literally watched him batter and fry them - the owner was the sweetest human who genuinely cared about his services. He even threw in every sauce (which are bomb btw) so we could try and report back. I brought them home to my boyfriend and he couldn’t stop telling people that we found a new go-to spot! Wishing Nugtown the utmost success!! ?

Also PS $20 for 20 QUALITY nuggets!“

“All very good. My order exactly as I requested it. I especially loved the customer service of the Manager Adriana and the cook Adela. They work very well together. ! I am going to return very soon with my family.

Parking: Easy to find parking.“

“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 been to different Dave’s Hot Chicken even the one in Texas! I will say best service here in Glendale, CA. It was an extremely busy afternoon and their cashier Stephanie L which is in my receipt was holding it down. From the moment I walk in she greeted me I waited patiently while she was assisting others and going out of her way for even the rude customers. I was impressed by her willingness and when I received my order in a timely manner she ask me if I wanted any condiments without me even asking and thank me for coming. Definitely coming here from now on even if it’s 45 min from my home. And the food is bomb!!!“

“The best quality meat 🍖 👍“

“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..“

“Absolutely my fav chicken Pho ever! Flavorful and tasty broth, but can confirm that not walking chicken (cage free) tho. Nice clean restaurant and they've AC 😜. The side sauce of Dry rice noodles was so good, yall have to try that one ☝️“

“Absolutely love this place I recommend this fabulous tasty chicken place 100%. Will be back many times and share with my friends and family!!! Thank you for a wonderful experience. You are awesome“

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

“*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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃👍“
