Chicken Restaurants near South Pasadena

“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“

“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. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“I worked t Pioneer Chicken #1 on Echo Park as a cook, prep, and last as a manager for 13 years . I never got tired of eating Pioneer Chicken. I always go to Soto and Whittier location“

“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.“

“Tried Dave’s Hot Chicken and it was really good!
The chicken was super juicy with a crispy coating and strong flavor. I got medium spice, which was perfect🤤🤤🤤❤️❤️

Sliders were the highlight, fries were just okay. A bit oily, but definitely worth it for the taste.

Overall, a solid spot for spicy chicken 🍗🔥“

“This place is amazing. Great ambience and all workers were kind and gave Me great customer service. Honestly this place has the best chicken sandwiches and tenders hands down better than raising canes.
The milk shake is phenomenal way better than in n out. I definitely recommend y’all to try this place at least once.“

“Came for the codfish Sando which is available in limited quantity daily. Staff are really friendly and will help you along with your order should you need any help with your order. The fish burger is really good and the tartare sauce they put on it is amazing. Can also order a side of the daybird sauce that they have and it has a really good umami flavor that goes very well with the fries. Would be back again to try the chicken Sando too.“

“Ordered this place on doordash and it was really good. Theres no ½ and ½ button on doordash but i put it in the notes and got half spicy half soy. The wings were fried perfectly. Rendered dry sky and moist well cooked inside. The soy garlic and spicy Korean were delicious. Not too sweet or artificial tasting. The side is what i would describe as a “deep fried side chex mix” it was onion ring, fries and hand cut potato chips. This was a delight and solid market differentiator. I got 8 wing halves total and the website describes the order as 1lb ranging between 6-8 wings. For the price, i liked getting the full 8 wings. Will be a regular.“

“I saw this restaurant on Facebook or Insta on Friday night and the pic and menus made my mouth water. We took take out on Saturday night and the chicken was mouth-watering! I want to swing by again tonight just for the chicken. Since we did take out, when I got home the fries were cold and the salads were just OK. We didn’t care for the dressings they provided, (but that is just personal taste) I would definitely recommend, it is new to our neighborhood and we will eat there again.“

“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.“

“The workers there are very nice and the chicken is sooo crispy and amazing I loved the service and how fast my food got ready i took it home and I live 30 minutes away and when I opened the crispy fried chicken it was still the perfect temperature and still so crispy there sunset sauce and ranch is also soo amazing.“

“Absolutely delicious food. Competitive prices, and welcoming atmosphere. The servings were generous; You will not leave here hungry. I highly recommend this establishment and look forward to my next chance to dine here. 👍🏻👍🏻“

“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.“

“Just Wonderful Place To Eat At“

“Family friendly fresh food and amazing customer service. Should out to Angelica who is patient, warm and friendly behind the counter. Just a nice easy healthy choice for a family meal.“

“*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 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.“

“buen servicio de atención“

“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 🌹.“

“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.“

“Fast and friendly service, great food options. Clean place. Reccomended the Hamburg Plate. Also Peach 🥧 Pie (always order it) worth it! The Freshness of this location is unmatched. 💙✨️ Of Course going with Classic Chicken cant got wrong with that 😋“

“Stopped by Bruxie for takeout breakfast and it did not disappoint.

I ordered the Breakfast Burrito, the Strawberry Palmer, and the Nuttle Waffle — everything was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned.

The breakfast burrito was packed and perfectly balanced — fluffy eggs, crispy tots, and savory chicken all wrapped in a warm tortilla. It wasn't greasy!

The Strawberry Palmer was super refreshing and not overly sweet. It had a real strawberry flavor and paired perfectly with the meal.

The Nuttle Waffle was definitely the highlight. The waffle itself was light and slightly crispy on the outside, soft inside, and topped with fresh strawberries, bananas, and Nutella. It felt indulgent without being overwhelming.

Would definitely come back!“

“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.“

“excelente servicio muy Rico Pollo 🐓 campero Bendiciones para todos los que laboran en todos los Restaurantes“

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

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 .“

“바삭바삭한 후라이드, 매콤한 양념치킨과 입맛을 확 당기는 간장치킨. 중학교 시절 나에게 첫 치느님의 문을 열어준 건 치킨데이였다. 치킨데이 왕자님의 인맥을 통해 가끔씩 공짜로 얻어먹던 닭들은 나에게 있어 얘기치 못한 즐거움, 마치 공원에 누워 네잎클로버를 찾는 행운이었다. 하지만 10년이 지난 지금 난 깨달았다. 치킨데이는 네잎클로버가 아니란걸. 한국에 와서 내노라하는 네네 스노윙, BHC 뿌링클, 굽네 고추바사삭 치킨을 먹어봐도 내 마음속 한 구석엔 늘 채워지지 않는 공허함이 자리잡고 있었다. 맛은 있지만 정이 없는, 뒷마당에서 키우던 강아지를 보신탕으로 먹으면 이런 맛이었을까? 그래서 이 리뷰를 통해 치킨데이에게 사과의 말을 전하고 싶다. 너가 최고라는 걸 깨닫기까지 10년이나 걸려서 미안하다고. 너는 행운의 네잎클로버가 아닌 항상 내 발밑에 자리잡고 있던 행복의 세잎클로버라고.“

“Not quite as tasty as Popeyes but the strips are consistent. With Popeyes it’s a hit or miss. Sometimes it’s a bunch of dry smaller pieces other times it’s good a lot of the big juicy stuff. I’d recommend LFC on Lake to family and friends and go again.“

“best authentic Mexican food in town, family ran and Wonderful people.“

“Ok so I like thier setup inside the have the grill out separately with a blower taking out the smoke out of the location so you don't leave smelling like charcoal...they're menu is good several options and at least a couple of their plates come with a half baked potato which I really wasn't expecting but I loved it....chicken was cooked throughly no red meat...tasted good....sides are good but macaroni salad tasted food but needs something I added salt...aguas frescas were running low got one tasted good but prevention was lacking they were down to the last cup in those big jugs they need machines or something that circulates the waters keeping them looking as good as they taste...but parking is a little crazy got blocked in but an employee came out when inside and asked one of the other customers to move their car for me...the place just needs to have the ac on but overall the food was really good....service was good but they do get busy....expect a 15 to 20 minute wait on busy days...pick your time wisely but definitely this spot should be on your radar...“

“Their charbroiled garlic chicken over fries drenched in garlic au jus is unique and worth the 15 mile drive from home. I normally go to the Pico Union one but this one has easier parking and more seating. They also have more selection but I've never gotten anything but the chicken. It was hot and fresh and as always addicting.“

“Chicken is not greasy and their potatoe and macaroni salads are good too :)“

“Delicious food, fried chicken 🐔 the bomb and the pickled veggies are so good. Definitely a place to go in the DTLA area.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“People say this spot has some of the best fast food fried chicken. So let’s see if they’re pretty good eh or ew. I got their 4 piece meal with half fried and roasted chicken, beans, plantains, and tortillas. Yall know im a bean fiend and these beans were smooth, savory, and flavorful. The plantains were sweet, soft, caramalized, and a bit tart? Not really for me. The roasted chicken was super savory, flavorful, juicy, and actually really yummy. The fried chicken was perfectly crispity crunchy and just as flavorful and juicy. Pro tip is to make a taco using the corn tortilla with all the yummy ingredients. This place is actually pretty good.

4 pc meal $16.30 before tax“

“Amazing spot to get whole chicken. I called in to catch the person on the reaction of their chicken. The little Gemini lady at the window said she rates this place a 10/10. I liked how the pictures looked and I still thought she was playing. But I was 7 minutes away so I stoped by. That whole chicken I had was so good they marinate their chicken, I’ve never tasted all those flavors before. I’m glad I stopped here today.“

“Holdaak Fried Chicken is a great spot for Korean-style fried chicken lovers. The chicken is crispy and flavorful, and the Seoul Spicy Chicken Sandwich is a must-try. The daikon slaw adds a nice fresh crunch, and the fries are perfectly cooked. The staff is friendly, though service can be a bit slow during busy times. Overall, a tasty and satisfying experience.“

“A very clean and immaculately tidy restaurant and dining area from what I saw that offered an excellent meal for a fair price.

I had the Shawarma plate and it was one of the better ones that I've had. I will really have to try their chicken next time.“

“That ginger scallion sauce hit exactly right, bright and aromatic, which is the most important thing when you’re doing Hainan chicken rice.

The chicken itself backs it up: genuinely juicy and fresh, not dried out, with that silky poached texture the dish is built around. Portions are huge and the value is hard to argue with. The other sauces run a little sweet for my taste, and so do the pickles, but the pickles are good enough that you’ll eat them all anyway. Consistent spot. Go for the chicken rice, load up on the ginger scallion, skip nothing.“

“Todo está muy rico 😋 gracias“

“The fried pickles were really good! We loved them! All of our meals were really good. The chicken was tasty. The BLT had a good amount of crispy bacon crisp lettuce. The garlic aioli was yummy. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely return.“

“Everything is great at Jollibee! 😋💕😁“
