“10/10 Best KFC spot, I've been coming for more then 10 years, people at this location are great. Always top tier KFC compared to other KFC stores. 19 times out of 20 food is server on time or earlier shown on the app's timer. Any mistake made is taken care of very fast and the workers are always very nice about it. Love this spot and all the people there“

“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.“

“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. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Love what they done with the place the place looks chic and aesthetics. I love the art and the signs up and the menu was easy to read. The person there was very nice and helped me and was very kind. Food I got chicken wings the seeet and spicy and it was so so good“

“This place takes fried chicken to a whole new level—using rice flour means it absorbs less oil, so it’s not only outrageously delicious but actually healthier than your typical fried chicken spot. Genius!

I went with the spicy pork cupbap, sweet goblin wings, and cheesy tiger wings—every single item was a winner, and I highly recommend them all. Pro tip: bring friends so you can share and try more (because you’ll definitely want to). Flavor-packed, crispy, and guilt-free(ish)—this is my new go-to!“

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

“Such a gem in a LA downtown!! Food is delicious and Boba are amazing! It is one of those places you nearly miss, but I am glad we didn’t. We ordered half pound dose of lemon honey barbecue wings. The food is generous and tasty. Everything is very clean and you have everything at your disposal: cutlery, napkins, fresh wipes, and to go boxes.“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“Some of the best hot chicken in the city! Ive recommended this spot to my coworkers and we're all obsessed. The crew are great and really know their stuff! Their fries are also crazy crispy. My favorite dish is the slider combo with medium spice level.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely loved this shawarma place! The flavors were spot on, and what really stood out was the French fries tucked inside the shawarma—it gave it such a creamy, unique texture that worked perfectly with the wrap. The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Definitely one of the tastiest shawarmas I’ve had in a long time. I’ll be coming back for sure!“

“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!“

“The food here is pretty good! My friends and I got the Bulgolgi Poutine, Rose Ddeok-Bokki, and the Honey Garlic Wings. I definitely recommend the honey garlic wings, it's super good! The service was great as well-- our server was so sweet and kind, she made sure we were okay. The place is somewhat spacious, there's lots of tables there!“

“Great food Great place Definitely will return“

“Great customer service. Great food. Employees doing really good job.

I feel bad for employees because they have to deal with some really rude customers sometimes.

I have daveshot chicken app too. And sometimes eat there everyday.“

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

“Best Chicken in all of town. Extra Spicy is always a perfect blend of almost too hot and not hot enough. This location always delivers. Shout out to Johnathan. He's been working here for the longest and always has top tier customer service. Johnathan for manager. Dave's Hot Chicken for the trophy 🏆 Enjoy.“

“Hidden Gem in Pasadena! Very Yum!“

“Amazing chicken sandwich, fried to order. The slaw that’s on top is perfect, it has a little bit of cilantro and jalapeño. I got the hot, and I like spicy, I think next time I will get the extreme. Amazing mouth numbing spice from the Szechuan peppercorn, all the flavors work really well together. Since the chicken is really oversized I would recommend getting an extra sauce to dip it in, either the hot honey or the daybird sauce. I was too excited from how good it smelled and forgot to take a picture before I started eating, but look at this amazing cross-section!“

“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

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

“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.“

“Most of the time, I feel disappointed by the heat levels at chicken places. unless I get extra hot, and even then sometimes, it's barely spicy. but this place has got the heat down right! I order a mango habanero slider, a Nashville hot tender and fries with a mango passionfruit agua fresca, and it's the best I've had in a long time! the mango mellowed out the habanero, but you could still feel some of the heat. the hot Nashville was the all-star though - it's actually hot! the agua fresca was the perfect drink to counter the savory flavors, too. im definitely coming again. the staff were very attentive and friendly as well!“

“Red Chickz never disappoints! The chicken is a straight 10/10 — crispy, flavorful, and always fresh. The sides are just as fire, definitely another 10/10. Big shoutout to Anthony for the amazing customer service. Super friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this place!“

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

“Waba team member, David provided excellent customer service. He was very friendly, patient and offered much appreciated information on budget friendly options. I will be visiting again at Waba Grill South El Monte very soon in the near future. I hope to be assisted by David again.“

“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 😂❤️“

“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.“

“Extremely clean
Zero wait to order
Dine-in and outdoor available.
Staff could pay more attention to the counter; I'm one of the few people in the room, someone waiting at the counter should draw more attention.
Staff forgot items ordered

Food is like any other Cane's, great!!!
It's annoying this restaurant chain charges for extra sauces.“

“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.“

“Loved the food definitely a must go 🥘😋“

“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.“

“buen servicio de atención“
