50 Best Chicken Restaurants near Van Nuys

“I’ve been meaning to try this place for so long and today I was finally able to. I’ve had chicken sandwiches from Howlin Rays and LeCoupe and this is on that level. It isn’t easy to find a good fried chicken sandwich in the valley and I was incredibly (and surprisingly) pleased. A shame that due to slow business they will be shutting down in October. If in the area give it a try! There was only one man working and he was incredibly kind and attentive!“

“Awesome food with lots of great flavor. We enjoyed our experience and definitely would recommend to others to try. 10/10“

“My review is long overdue. Better than pollo loco and other grilled chicken spots in the area. It is always busy, but worth the wait ! I’ve also tried their asada burrito and it’s fire ! Thank you to all the employees that make this place a gem !“

“These tacos are freaking addictive!! I'll drive from LA for the tacos. Everyone, I highly, recommend this restaurant. It's extremely clean inside. They have a bathroom. And the staff are so courteous and professional.

Parking: Ample parking with handicap spaces.

Kid-friendliness: Family-friendly restaurant“

“Muy delicioso todo y muy amable su personal , lo recomiendo 😋“

“todo muy rico pero no dan todo lo que se ordena“

“No doubt this is among the best fried chicken in LA!!“

“The food was delicious! We got the medium heat spice, which was perfect for me. My son wants to try the hotter one next time. The place was very busy so that might be why none of the tables were clean and they were out of ice. But we will still be back because the chicken was that good 👍“

“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.“

“😉😉really friendly good portions must try“

“Thank you 🙏🏽 for your generosity pollo campero and staff from the laboratory here at Pacifica hospital of the valley!!!“

“Im not from the pay and order on a tablet generation. Nope

Wack service, but to be fair the workers probably figure there’s no need because of the tablet. Who knows?

Great relatively low cal burritos! Big burritos! Great music! WeHo music!

They validate!“

“Visited the Manchester UK restaurant today. Did not like it at all!!! Had to wait 20mins for my order and when it came it looked disgusting. The slider I got was a real thin, tough piece of chicken which wasn't very tender and the batter was over done and tasted greasy which was no surprise as it dripped out when I got the carton out and had a hint of a beef taste. The fillet included was just the same but a little bigger but the fries were the saving grace! They were nice a fluffy but the chicken here is terrible and wouldn't visit again. The staff were great but the food was terrible and it didn't even taste like chicken! No wonder they have spice it's to disguise the taste! Anyone trying for the first time I'd recommend getting it with no spice to get what it actually tastes like! Rank and horrible! Will go elsewhere for better quality chicken.“

“The food here is really good, my first time going here and I ordered the large loaded french fries, it is certainly a lot of food and I usually eat a lot, couldn’t finish at all, which is great because nowadays portion sizes are so small. Way better than Raising Cane‘s. The flavors are great. This place is a win.“

“It’s hard to describe how great of a experience it is when you have Nashville Hot Chicken after a long day of work. Do yourself a favor and get the tenders and enjoy the sauce that comes with it. And if you leave a review they give you a cookie. Go there now and enjoy the spicy goodness each tender will give your tastebuds.“

“Great for bringing the family together around a real roast chicken with light and crispy fries, stop and enjoy, you will not be disappointed, well done to the smiling and fast team, very clean, perfect establishment

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Super practical“

“The food is really good! I’ve worked at UCLA for the last 5 years and never stopped by. Decided to come in today because the reviews were good and the chicken reminded me of el pollo loco but better. Not disappointed at all. The employees are extremely nice and let me use the restroom :) Totalyl wish I discovered this spot sooner“

“I had such a great experience at this location! I accidentally placed my order at another store and came here by mistake. The manager, Angel, went above and beyond to help me out. He personally contacted the other location, canceled my order there, and made sure my food was freshly prepared here without any delay. His customer service was outstanding, and he truly turned a stressful situation into a smooth and positive experience. Big thanks to Angel and the team for their kindness and professionalism! I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Everything about this place is awesome. From all the flavors to the honey that helps cool it down. The self serve soda. Even the seating of being indoor or outdoor is always a plus.“

“I’ve been eating at this place before 1987. I used to take my children here for dinner or lunch on Saturdays. My children are grown and are raising their families now. I am in my Senior years now and moved from that area. However, I still go over there to eat on Saturdays every now and then. One thing I can share with you, is the recipe has never changed. 😎😎“

“I love this place; it’s home to me with great food and staff!!!!“

“Zankou Chicken in the Valley is absolutely fantastic! I had the beef kebab and it was amazing. Meet was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The garlic sauce was addictive, and the portions were generous. The service was quick and friendly, and the food came out fresh. Definitely a must-visit spot for Mediterranean lovers!“

“When I worked in Hollywood, used to come here all the time. Glad to see still the same good food.

Got the Ceasar Chicken Wrap with a side of chicken pasta. If you want salad, you won't be let down with their popular Chinese Chicken Salad, you can add pasta to it also.

Update 6/21/2025: Food is still great. Only change is, no more inside dining. It was late night, almost closing time, so not sure if they have the tables and benches out during the day.

I brought a newbie here and he loved the rotisserie chicken.

Please open a location in DTLA, Pasadena, Glendale or Burbank area. Thank you.“

“Got recommended this place by a friend after moving to the valley. And wow are these wings are tasty! Absolutely would recommend. Tbh they arent the spiciest of wings, buuut flavor and quality is definitely there.

The staff & owner (I presume) are super friendly and welcoming. I think on my first order they gave me a few extra sauces on the house. If you’re tired of the generic wingstop and you are in the valley this could your next go to.“

“Nice Restaurant! Nice people and the crew. Good food, specially the fried chicken and the spaghetti.always fresh.😊👍“

“As a Regular here, I’m surprised I have not reviewed this fine established yet! My family and I literally eat from this location ONCE A WEEK! It’s either via DoorDash or GrubHub who ever offers the most Discount that week ;) unless I’m in the area I’ll pick it up. Personally if it was my wish or hope I would replace them with all of Dave’s. I’m surprised they only have 2 locations. The sandwich burst with flavor and most recently Im addicted to the Burrito. Well done fellas. Absolutely love the flavors the spices and of course your smily faces. Great customer service!“

“Great place for friend chicken! � Totally coming back here.“

“The food here is very delicious and fresh. The service is second to none. They pay attention to details, and they know how to make you feel valued as a customer. I definitely recommend this Chick-fil-A if you are in this area. They have a neighborhood friendly environment.“

“Consistently great catering service from CCC! And having a delicious, reliable go-to local restaurant has earned my loyalty! Also, I really appreciate how they label all the wraps and include a menu card that lists the ingredients in each. It's been incredibly helplful!“

“Please tell me why I’ve lived in Los Angeles for 13 years and only just discovered California Chicken Café two months ago! As a vegetarian, I assumed there wouldn’t be much for me—but boy, was I wrong. I’ve been back three times since, and I now know that CCC is going to get me through the next seven months of pregnancy. Everything is so fresh and tasty. The cherry on top, of course, is the guy running your food out to your car so that you don't even have to get out. Customer for life.“

“I love there boneless chicken with them sauce ooooo I love it ^^“

“the chicken sandwich was fireee but surprisingly small for $8. the restaurant itself is way too big lol has a very empty feel, with that there’s no one to take ur order, order on one kiosk only which seems like a bad system. but the chicken was great.“

“CCC recently changed their green and red salsa recipe and I’ve got to say it is super delicious. The previous recipe was okay, but this new recipe is so good I had to write a review. I always order from them for the food,but this salsa is very very good. The salsas are now Roasted. Keep it up.“

“They have the best gorditas around! It’s been a min since I’ve been back. Arrived on a Monday late afternoon and no one was there. Oh yes, call ahead if you want to order the gorditas. Like I mentioned previously they make it from scratch so it takes some time. The lady on the phone said my to go order would take 20 mins. Decided to eat it there and my heart melt! The salsa is bomb, the food is bussin, come support small businesses!

Parking: you can park in the food bank area“

“If you’re craving authentic Filipino food that feels like home, Bacolod Chick’n Inasal in Winnetka is the place to be! The food here is absolutely delicious and brings the true flavors of Bacolod to Los Angeles. Their specialty, chicken inasal, is perfectly marinated and grilled, bursting with flavor in every bite.

But it doesn’t stop there—every dish on their menu is amazing. I highly recommend trying the bangus steak, batchoy, and pork belly. Each dish is prepared with care and tastes just like the ones you’d find back home.

The staff and owners are exceptionally friendly, warm, and welcoming, treating every customer like family. On our last visit, they even let us sample their buco pie, which isn’t on the menu yet, and it was heavenly!

Bacolod Chick’n Inasal is not just a restaurant—it’s a place where you can enjoy great food, genuine hospitality, and the comforting flavors of the Philippines. I hope more Filipinos discover this gem and help make it a huge success. It’s truly a must-visit spot for anyone who loves Filipino cuisine!“

“I’ve been hearing about this place , finally tried it... IT WAS GOOD 😎“

“I used the drive thru. Ordered the pot pie & individual cole slaw. At the pick-up window, the girl said my order was $26. I said for a pot pie! Seems like they didn't put my order in, so I had to wait a but longer & the price changed to $8.“

“The place is spacious, it has a locked bathroom, you can eat there, the chicken is delicious, parking outside the mall, there is no wheelchair access, there are no games for children, the most important thing...... there is no air conditioning or I don't know if the day I went it wasn't useful“

“튀김 안먹는 저도 먹어 보앗는데 맛잇어요“

“Fast And Friendly Service. ❤️👍“
