44 Best Chicken Restaurants near Temple City

“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)“

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

“Abdy was excellent and guided us with some great choices! Dave hot chicken tenders and sliders are awesome and what's amazing also is their kale slaw! We will be back as Abdy was great and food was fresh and tasty. Felt cozy and comfortable.“

“Very nice discovery looking for something new and well rated. We found out when we got in with a Lima style pollo a la brasa smell that it was a peruvian place. Great quality, authentic seasoning, not greasy, nice staff. They also do many peruvian style sandwich, estilo La Lucha. Great spot, great value. Would be perfect without plastic utensils not so convenient to go over half chicken beyond the environmental impact.“

“Excellent Food and Outstanding Service!

I had an amazing experience at this Juan Pollo! The food was absolutely delicious — the chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and tender, with just the right amount of seasoned flavor. The sides were fresh and flavorful, especially the potato salad, which has to be the BEST potato salad out there.

What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. They made sure everything was to my liking and served everything quickly with a smile.

Juan Pollo offers not just great food, but also a warm, friendly atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality food and exceptional service!“

“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.“

“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! 😁“

“Not a place to stay.. mostly to take out..
For a long time I ask the combo with one sandwich, one piece of chicken and fries....for about $15. What can I say about this fried chicken...
I work in the astronomical community so I clearly do NOT believe in Alien life forms visiting our planet.
But THESE chickens are OUT of this world!!! Medium is my right level of spiciness not to hot to cry, not too mild to pass under the radar.. For me a non mexican hispanic, MEDIUM is the right ammount of joy that life needs. Meat is tender an juicy, the batter is crisp and not too thick, bun is never soggy nor dry nor hard.... fries are homestyle and the dipping sauce is the fatty complement to tame the wildness of the spiciness. I really would like to go one notch above medium......but I am not that brave yet... hopefully next time!!!!“

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

“I love this place all the variety of plates are really good we ordered the 3 taquitos dorados and for dessert canela Nachos with ice cream and oh my God are really really god. Angela has and excelente customer service she recommended us this dessert thanks Angela for been nice and make our day better with your attentions. God Bless you! And guys don’t forget the cucumber agua Fresca is really good 😊.“

“When a restaurant does one thing and really hones in and masters their craft, the result speaks for itself. This place does chicken supremely well because that is all they do. The value of the meals is great. You can choose between quarter, half, or whole chicken with tortillas and sides. The chicken is very tasty and juicy, packed with flavor and perfectly made. The sides are also nice. There are some tables but they mainly do takeout. The staff are very friendly and treat you like family.“

“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 🌹.“

“We pre-ordered on the app and the food was already ready to go when we arrive to the restaurant. The stuff was really nice and handed me the food when I let them know I ordered online. When I got home, the chicken was nice and crunchy and the side radishes were delicious.“

“The breaded Shrimp with rice, beans and the brown sauce! Just like the good ole’ days!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“I ordered Combo number one they were decent size sliders came a coleslaw and pickles it was absolutely amazing I got hot Flavor. The fries had a really nice season on ate every single bite I was full and I was happy this is way better than Dave's hot chicken. If you haven't tried it do yourself a favor and go. Did I mention it's a little cheaper than most hot chicken places. The girl is kinda cute too“

“My favorite fried chicken sandwich. Consistently good. Crispy. Never too oily. The coleslaw, pickles, sauce and bread/bun blend perfectly together. I prefer the dark meat (sweeter, juicier.)

The combo comes with your choice of sides: French fries, curly fries, waffle fries, onion rings!

They also sell Boba, green teas and Thai iced tea drinks (+$4.) It goes great with the sandwiches. So when I crave a good chicken sandwich, I go here.“

“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.“

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

“Was craving fried chicken came across this place. Really had a great selection on the menu. Prices were very reasonable but most importantly, the food was grade A! I got some chicken drumsticks with some waffle fries and it didn't disappoint. Definitely coming back.“

“*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 is by far one of the best chicken I've had in my life. The Cajun rice is made with love and so tasty! The lovely attentive service from the owner was top notch. Friendly feed at this family favourite. I highly recommend this branch for all your fried chicken, jumbo shrimp and cajun rice cravings. Will be back. Keep up the great hospitality!“

“friendly service crews…great food“

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

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Bombdizzle“

“The employees here are very nice always have this place clean. Thank you for your hospitality always I love coming here so much I almost win a family dinner with all the points I have. Love this place this the best chicken my kids n I LOVE IT!!“

“he'll mf yea this place is amazing. best tasting chicken sandwiches! real spice if u can handle the heat“

“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.“

“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“

“Excellence.. ..services! Amigos paisanos de mucha gente trabajadora....saludos!“

“ots really good i havent had any bad experiences their. the food is really good spicy. chicken my favorite. Mac & cheese. Your in and your out. i like it must try“

“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 😂❤️“

“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.“

“One of the few places to get grilled chicken, but with all the people working inside still simple orders and requests are wrong. Always check your bag.
4/2023 update. Grilled is gone ? best service was fast, and food was hot! Do u have a tip jar!“

“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.“

“Came here this past Wednesday with my parents after hearing great things from a friend about Soonheene and Twozone Chicken. Soonheene actually started in Seoul’s famous Gwangjang Market where they were known for their pancakes, so I was excited to check it out.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Esther (the owner) and her daughter. They both went out of their way to explain the menu and answer all my questions with genuine smiles. That kind of hospitality really sets the tone for a meal.

We ordered the Pork Mungbean Pancake, Rose Tteokbokki (creamy rice cakes with fish cake and sausage), Bibim-Naengmyeon (spicy cold buckwheat noodles), and a whole fried chicken split into two flavors. Everything we ordered was delicious and tasty. For half the chicken, I went with the original but added green onion and their special oriental sauce drizzle. The other half was spicy soy garlic. I’ll admit, I liked the original better. I second-guessed myself when the owner’s daughter mentioned soy garlic was their number one most popular flavor followed by honey butter, but I thought I would be different and try the spicy version. The spice kind of drowned out that garlicky soy flavor, so lesson learned. Next time I am going straight for the soy garlic and honey butter combo.

For drinks, we tried the Korean coffee and cold yuzu drink, both refreshing and a nice complement to the food. By the end of the meal, everything was so good that I even found myself asking about catering their chicken for future events.

The vibe inside is really comfortable with soft K-pop playing in the background. It is just enough for atmosphere but not too loud, so you can talk easily. The only tricky part is parking since it is in a busy plaza with a lot of other restaurants, but at least it is free.

Overall, this was one of the most unique dining experiences we have had recently, made extra special by Esther and her daughter’s hospitality. I love supporting family-owned spots like this, and I will definitely be back to try that famous soy garlic and honey butter chicken next time.“

“I use to go too the one on Beverly in montebello. But is closed down now. Came to this location it’s my 3rd time here. I was amazed on the service! The guy that helped me had a smile on his face the whole time with a good attitude like it should be! So many fast food chains lost that! Blessing’s to you my friend!“

“They were very sweet, all i wanted was a drink. They were very nice. They were the only place that had my soda.The nice lady there told me to be careful with the lid. So sweet. Going to Lids, they weren't helpful but Chicken Now is great for the passive aggressive who wants chicken, right now“
