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!!“

“😉😉really friendly good portions must try“

“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.“

“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!“

“Dave's Hot Chicken delivers bold flavors and juicy, perfectly spiced chicken that hits the spot every time. The heat levels offer something for everyone, from mild to seriously spicy. The sliders are a must-try, especially paired with their signature sauce and crinkle-cut fries. Great for a quick, satisfying meal with a kick“

“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.“

“Just came to Dave’s hot chicken, almost closing, and it was packed. Raul gave such a good service patient and working so fast by himself, he gets a five stars!! The food like always is always great. Wish it will be open much later like around 2 o’clock will be great.“

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

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

“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 was hot, fresh , portioned perfectly, and very very tasty!!!“

“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“

“It’s slow to get your order, but that’s because it’s made fresh. If your in a hurry, take it to go. Otherwise, the chicken is excellent.“

“Muy buena la atención gracias 😊“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is an absolute game changer! The food was nothing short of world-class perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. Every bite was incredible. If you love bold, delicious food, this is the place to be! Highly recommend! 🔥🍗“

“Very tasty food. Wish they open a location in inland empire. Riverside or Redlands.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Pickled beets nice patient staff yummy everything falafals garlic sauce spread baklava humous papa....humous with eggqplant pita bread tabouli +🙂“

“phenomenal from start to finish, chicken and waffles are the best!“

“I love their Garlic “goop” for the chicken. However, I am not willing to pay what they want for a rotisserie chicken when I can get a great chicken elsewhere for less than half the price.
IE: Costco’s chickens are awesome.
We buy the garlic goop from Zankou which is literally right across the street from Costco.
I know they will despise this review but I am simply being honest.“

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

“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. 😎😎“

“Excellent customer service, the food was delicious!! Had the #2 combo best tasting flavor sandwich!!! Hands the best“

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

“Delicious! and great customer service!“

“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.“

“Just went straight to hell. That’s some hot chicken. Will do it again.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Honestly my sister and I found them and decided to try it out. And it was 10/10 they are so nice and friendly, service is so fast. I love the fries and the mango habanero wings we get the condo for two, we each get 6 wings and fries with a drink. It’s always hot and fresh. Definitely coming back for more.“

“Food: this is a great restaurant if you’re looking for healthy and delicious chicken related meals. They serve rotisserie, salad, and wraps. The wraps were packed with flavor and the salads were perfect.

Parking: the restaurant has parking behind the building, which is accessible on Ventura Blvd.

Tips: the rotisserie chicken is well prepared. A wrap and salad or the quarter rotisserie and salad make for a healthy and hearty dish.“

“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.“

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

“Calif Chicken Cafe has never disappointed. I had never been to this location. It was an extremely well run restaurant. IYKYK to order via the website. This insures that food is ready & fresh. Did I say fresh? The hot food is hot and the salad is never wilted or old looking.

Coming to Calif Chicken is a treat when I'm anywhere near a location.“

“튀김 안먹는 저도 먹어 보앗는데 맛잇어요“

“Fast And Friendly Service. ❤️👍“

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

“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“

“Whenever I feel like eating Mediterranean food and if zankou is around I'll stop by to grab a wrap. The locations that I had been to, the Workers are very friendly , service is pretty fast and the food is really good and most important very affordable.“

“I want to start off by saying if you’re from the Lou and are visiting know there is a place on the Hollywood blvd for you to enjoy cooking that is close if not like you granny’s cooking!! The cabbage was perfection, the short rib was divine, and the yams y’all I’m telling you know it’s all so delicious. When I first came in I was greeted and felt/ smelt the love and care in the air. My server was amazing along with the chef who came and introduced himself so we could put a face to the taste!! All in all you’ll have a great time because they have games, great drinks, customer service, Dj whipping up some fire mixes in the space, and other killer events. So please find yourselves at Harold’s Chicken on the Hollywood blvd, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.“

“I gave 5 stars only due to the young man, Diego, that works the morning shift. His professionalism, work ethic, courtesy, kindness, respect, and pleasantness should be modeled by all fast food restrictions employees across the country. Including how welcoming he is. Ensuring that my food is always cooked to order and served to me with his smile of appreciation for my patronage; he takes pride in his work. Therefore, despite my initial decision over the past year to give up on KFC altogether; I return to this particular location only.“

“Yummy! ❤️ Great and freindly environment. Food was delicious 😋“
