“Hello, it is the best place to eat, a pleasant atmosphere, the staff is friendly and the knowledge of chicken, I like it, I have another pollo loco serca, I prefer to go to this one because of the quality of the chicken and the sauces are thick, I like it a lot.“

“Checked out Waba Grill for the first time since the pandemic. Always thought the food was slightly above average, never disappointed at all really. So today I popped in (April 12, 2021). I noticed that they finally have indoor seating, limited to 20 guests at a time. The tables are spaced out a considerable distance. I decided on the sweet and spicy chicken bowl with veggies and white rice. Total after tax was $9.19. I guess that's fair, as the bowl is pretty decently sized.On to the food: The chicken was really good. A great combination of sweet and heat (4/10 on the spicy scale. Anyone who likes spicy stuff should find it satisfying, though it's not super hot, which is a good thing). The veggies are steamed or blanched - can't tell. Either way, they're crispy while still being cooked. I liked them a lot.All in all, come stop by if you're craving a decent rice bowl. Nice flavor, well put together, maybe a bit more expensive than it should be but not too bad! Recommended!“

“Angie the manager she es super! She took the time to help me with this new automatic touch screen system to place your oder she was amazing so sweet and nice no rush no bad attitude thank you so much for being so nice Angie! Need more people like you. 5 stars to her!“

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

“Todo muy limpio y muy agradable ambiente“

“Their zaab pork belly rice bowl is phenomenal. I have not been in person to this restaurant, but I went to a festival where they had a booth and served it. The meat was perfectly crispy on the outside and succulent and juicy inside. The hints of lime juice complemented the meat in a way that makes me think about it. If you like pork belly, this place is a great place to get it.“

“😉😉really friendly good portions must try“

“I ordered half chicken with broccoli & carrots. OMG! Their chicken is so juicy & tender. It is roasted perfectly! They grill the vegetables with garlic oil, extra flavor! I also tried the Southwestern Bowl (wild rice, rotisserie chicken, street corn, sweet potato, tomato, pickled red onion, avocado with chipotle sauce). Super healthy choice!“

“good taste on every bite. love it“

“Must try fried chicken!!!“

“I am 65 years old. We had dinner at Humble Bird Saturday night. I have never, repeat, NEVER had chicken this good. Crisp, juicy (but not dripping like other places), no grease in sight. We got mild, but used the hot honey supplied and what a combination of flavors. We also got potato salad and slaw. Both great additions to an already wonderful meal. The staff was really friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The place was spotless. I live north of Seattle, but would consider driving down just for more of their chicken...Well, and to visit my kids.“

“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.“

“best fry chicken in town 👍“

“The cashier provided outstanding customer service. She is assertive and Waba knowledgeable! The food is great! I recommend the chicken and steak bowl with a splash of teriyaki sauce! This location has a good atmosphere and my order was given to me pronto! Go Waba!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 👍“

“I got the boneless combo with spicy kalbi and I was hesitant at first because I don’t like boneless wings because they typical are all batter however these were perfect! So much meat and the right amount of crunch. Everything was packaged delicately for the fry-to-sauce ratio. The man who was working was very helpful and nice. I ordered a side of rice since I don’t like French fries, although I found myself eating all these fries hahaha. The pickled radish was a major swoon!!! So fresh, crunchy, and delicious. I was drinking the pickle radish juice it was so good!“

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

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

“Everything taste great whether it’s Original or Spicy. Whatever is your flavor, can’t go wrong either way. Good portions at affordable prices.“

“This spot saved my hungry life the other night. I was out in the world longer than I wanted to be and pulled off at the truck stop LATE to see if I could roll up on a cute food truck or a drive thru for some late night vittles. ?Most things were closing or closed. It was too late for doordash or a different service & I had a ways to go before my destination.I pulled up to the Lunch Box & they were still alive! Not only alive, but service with a smile as well! Lovely, lovely customer service & EXCELLENT hot chicken strips with fries ? ? Yum! I HIGHLY recommend ?? ☺️ ??

Vegetarian options: Fries, tots, quesadilla“

“Food was tasty and delicious 😋 ….“

“I will always rave about The Melt. This is my go to spot. The Mac and cheese is to die for, the sandwiches are incredible, the garlic parmesan fries omg don’t even get me started. They also have great milkshakes and the chill atmosphere is an added bonus.“

“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 Monty classic cheese burger. Outstanding!“

“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“

“Today is August 17, 2022, I came back because I had to try the steak bowl with all veggies and I had a can of BUBLY grapefruit flavored. Aleksandra, Sadee, Corrina and The rest of the staff are a lot of fun we spent a lot of time asking them about which pole I should try. I finally settled on the ribeye steak bowl with no rice… I had to have the garlic Serano sauce which Karina made clear was her favorite and turned out to be mine too but I had to add a couple packets of hot sauce the grapefruit drink I was enjoying was perfect with the spicy flavor and the meat was cooked to perfection! the store is kept very clean! Waba Wednesday means two chicken bowls for $12.99!“

“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! 🔥🍗“

“I've been eating here for years! Absolutely delicious!“

“Omg. Shrimp spicy dumplings. Soooo good Red bean buns delish Scallion pancakes great Chicken crunchy and juicy“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and friendly service! chicken is juicy and tender and the pink sauce...OMG. The jalapeño poppers are a MUST!“

“My go-to place for lunch never fails to hit the spot, especially when I'm absolutely starving. The high-quality chicken they serve is consistently delicious and always satisfies my cravings. The taste is truly unbelievable, and it's a perfect blend of flavors that keeps me coming back for more. Whether I'm in the mood for a hearty sandwich or a light meal, this place always delivers. It's not just about the food; it's about the entire experience that makes lunchtime something to look forward to every Wednesday“

“Ordered the original and sauce combo. Price point was fair. The boneless pieces were the issue, some came a little dry, and saucing consistency was a little uneven. There’s some latitude, given this was a pick up. Pick up was a little slower but not by much. The service area a little marred by the homeless pop around.“

“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!“

“love FooDelicious! The food here is always incredibly fresh—you can truly taste the difference. Whether it's their vibrant salads, warm artisan sandwiches, or daily specials, everything feels thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients. It’s the kind of place where you know your meal wasn’t sitting around—it was just made. Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and a clear passion for good food. Highly recommend if you care about freshness and flavor!.

Roy R.. thank you“

“the best Hawaiian sandwich ever!!!! it's a very long drive but worth every time“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“The waffles and chicken are delicious! It was out to me in record timing! The presentation of the food was spot on. The service was exceptional! I will definitely return for another great experience.“

“We were craving Korean fried chicken and discovered Witch's Chicken hidden away inside Galleria Korean grocery store with delicious KFC. They have a cute store front and brand highlighting the location as your mom's favorite fried chicken place. It was not wrong. I noticed while we were waiting there were customers young and old, couples, friends, single people that would either dine there or get take out chicken. They focus on chicken wings, drumsticks and tenders but there are also sides like fries, potato salad or Mac and cheese. We got the wing combo which includes 5 wings, side of fries and potato salad and a soda. We also ordered two drum sticks that were huge. The food was delicious. We got original flavor for the wings and the garlic soy spicy for the drumsticks. It was spicy. All in all, a good recommendation to satisfy your Korean fried chicken crave. Note the dining area is really small as there were maybe 8 tables adjacent to the storefront in a food court type setting inside the grocery store. One major plus, parking is free and convenient in this plaza.“

“GREAT chicken. Very crispy and not too heavy like some others out there. Me and my wife ordered 2 small 8 piece bone-in wings (Original Golden flavor), fries and coleslaw. The fries were some of the best I’ve had. Coleslaw was fresh & not too sweet.

My only two gripes with the food are: 1.the price) A little on the expensive end, as back home (Palmdale) we could get an eight piece combo with fries and a drink for the same price as just an 8 piece wings here alone (Korean place too). All good though, inflation hits everyone. Means we just will come here once in a while. And 2) you can only choose one marinade per wing set. Every wing spot I’ve been to allows you to do 1/2 one flavor and 1/2 another. Pretty standard practice, so I thought that was a little disappointing.

One more thing I should mention about the service: I wish the lady (she was Asian) would have suggested me and my wife share a medium (16 piece). It is cheaper to go that route if you both want the same flavor ($30.99) versus two smalls ($33.98). Would have saved us some money and been a nice gesture, but it’s hard to expect that when someone is running a business. Didn’t realize until after the fact.

Anyways, I’d recommend giving them a shot. Just note the things mentioned above before going, if they matter to you.“

“Can't wait to come back on this store for treating so kind and helpful for their customers particularly for first time visit. Friendly staff and good quality of food, fast service too.

Dietary restrictions: great for health choice of food selection including the ingredients and the way the chicken was cooked and prepared.“

“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. 😎😎“

“My whole family loves the food! The Halal chicken is amazing—you can really taste the quality. Just a heads-up, it might be too spicy for some people. The cauliflower dish is so good, but it looks like it’s seasonal, so try it while you can. The workers are all super kind and respectful. they’re fast and very friendly!“
