“Thrilled to share our Bruxie experience! On the hunt for a top-notch Nashville Hot chicken spot, my girlfriend and I stumbled upon this gem close to home.Kudos to the staff - a warm welcome and attentive service set the tone. My girlfriend opted for the Fried Chicken Waffle Sandwich with spiced tots, while I tackled the Kickin' "Nashville" Hot Fried Chicken Bun. Waffle fries were good, but those spiced tots? A newfound love!My sandwich delivered - crispy, bursting with flavor, and just the right kick. And oh, my lady's waffle with honey? Pure bliss!The restaurant itself is a sunny haven - inviting and spotlessly clean. Parking might be snug, shared with other popular joints, but trust me, the flavor adventure is worth it!“
“It was a loooong drive back to THE IE with Grandma's chicken riding shotgun. The fam better be glad I love them.Chicken was broasted to perfection! And I love the potato wedges. Crispy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside.“
“A bad experience at the green chili, they served us cold food, I spoke to the owner or manager and he told me with a mocking tone, there is a lady who told me to eat it because it has to be cold, it wasn't even polite and he never said we can heat it up like this that we will never return to that place.“
“I love this place! If you've seen it and wondered I suggest you stop in. They used to have 2 items on their menu but now it's more extensive. Salads, different chicken dishes, egg rolls and lots of great teas, coffee and Boba. The environment is fun and relaxing, the staff is friendly and quick but best of all the food is great!“
“BBQ upscale fast food. Cool concept, decor and menu options. Good amount of meat for the price....especially on the plates. Included sides were small portions. Order off to the register on the side once walking in, which was confusing for a first timer. Personally, the meat was much too salty to be a regular.“

“Perfection! Got the og chicken and waffle sandwich. So yummy! The strawberry lemonade was good too. There is indoor seating and out door seating/ patio. Very clean. With nice restrooms. Staff was super nice and quick. Brought the food right to our table. I would come here again. Highly recommend“
“Great place to eat if you want authentic Korean flavored crispy fried chicken. I can’t recommend enough the Crispy Yang-Nyum (#7), Crispy real Garlic (8) and oven/fried Padak. Their food description is exactly what you get. Fries were well seasoned and enough to feed 4 people. The customer service is fantastic and genuine. They want you to have an amazing eating experience. And that is what I got.“
“Wow. I'm so beyond thrilled to have found this tiny little gem! The food is beyond delicious. Take a trip to flavortown and enjoy the ride hahahaha this place is insanely good. I got calamari and some penne russa (I think) with chicken and it came with a salad WHICH WAS ALSO SO DARN DELICIOUS. Everything was delicious. Everything was hot. The man who I believe was the owner gave me theeee best service I could ask for after a long day of work. The place looked so cute and cozy I wish I could've stayed and dined in. Found my new favorite Italian spot in Long Beach!! Thank you so much for the amazing food and service! I will definitely be back“
“If you like El Pollo Loco, Juan Pollo, or Charo Chicken then you'll love El Pollo Dorado which imo tastes far better than the others. Their mini pack meal is around $19 for a whole chicken cut into 6 pieces, with 8 oz sides of rice, beans, and potato salad plus your choice of mild or hot salsa and tortillas. Everything my gf and I have tried has been incredible in 2 weeks we've been back twice“
“The dining experience at this restaurant exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I stepped in, the welcoming atmosphere set the stage for a delightful evening. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with authentic flavors that left me craving more. Additionally, the service was impeccable, with attentive staff ensuring that every need was met promptly. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for exceptional food and service.“
“Today I was craving wings and this was the nearest restaurant to my job. I am not your typical chicken lover if I don't crave it then I don't want it. I came in during lunch hour and got the lunch special. The wings were very meaty and extra crunchy. It was flavored perfectly with the secret sauce. I got the 6pc bone in wings and it came with fries and a drink. I will frequent again in the future.“
“This place is hidden on 4th street. There is plenty of street parking in front of the restaurant. It's not that busy later in the evening. The service was quick. The ambiance is super cute with the cherry blossom tree and the art on the wall with the chicken. This is a cashless place since they recently got robbed. So make sure to help out this small business!I got the original hainan chicken rice. Everything was flavorful and spiced right. The sauces that came with it was perfect. I love how chicken is cooked steamed as it was juicy and not try. I would get this again. If you're sick, get their herbal chicken soup. It has 5 spices and Gojo berry, which is beneficial when you're sick. I definitely will be back here to try their bubble teas too!“
“Came today Feb 20th around12:30. The lady that takes your order, is very pleasant and patient. She also explains the menu. I had to tip her. I love good service with a smile. NOW TO THE FOOD. THE REGULAR SHRIMP AND PARMESAN FRIES ARE BOMB. I DON'T EVEN EAT FRENCH FRIES ? LIKE THAT ANYMORE BUT THEY'RE SO DELICIOUS, I ATE ALMOST ALL OF THEM. I ALSO ORDERED THE FLAMANGO HABANERO WINGS. HAVEN'T TRIED THOSE YET. BLACK OWNED BUSINESS, I ❤️❤️ IT. I'M GOING TO BRING SOME FRIENDS NEXT TIME. BEST OF LUCK WITH UR BUSINESS. KEEP UP THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THANKS FOR A GREAT LUNCH“
“I love coming to this location I can tell it’s family owned. I sometimes buy food from here but I also pick up for deliveries and they treat me just the same. I love picking up food at this location I already know I will be greeted by a welcome and smile and have a good day after! Amazing people and “
“Great tasting char broiled chicken bowl and the chicken is never dry. The chicken is so tasty with such great texture that teriyaki sauce isn't so completely necessary like other places. In and out in 10 minutes or less usually. Unfortunately, it used to be the best dinner for 3 under $20 because each plate was ~$6. Now, they just raised the price at least $1 per plate so it's over $20.They make Rascals' consistently dry and flavorless beef and chicken seem so unnecessary....“
“The food was served very hot and in a timely manner. The service was great/excellent. My wife and I order the chicken strips. They were very delicious. The sauce for the chicken strips were very good ?. I want to return with my extended family (sister and nephews). Overall, I had a excellent experience with the restaurant.Wheelchair accessibility: It's in a very friendly wheelchair area with access to multiple shops and services“
“It's always seemed to me that chain restaurants tend to be best right after they've opened up, and that's definitely the case here. Zankou Chicken is always good but this new location seemed just slightly better than the older ones. The food came out immediately and yet it was hot and fresh, like it had just been made. My only complaint is the complaint I have about Zankou in general, which is their portion size. Their quarter dark meat chicken plates are too small, but a half chicken would be too much (and I don't like white meat anyway, so it would be wasted on me). I always leave a Zankou still somewhat hungry, and that shouldn't happen, not with the prices they're charging. Please, Zankou, offer a three-piece chicken option! Either that, or get bigger chickens! The chicken legs you use are tiny!“
“My goto plate place since the mid-2000s. The pricing has been increasing, but the food portion and quality are about the same, and it's around 16 to 20$ a plate currently.The place has little parking up front and a small eating area, so I highly recommend phoning in the order and picking it up to go. The katsu and beef dishes ironically are better than the chicken teriyaki dishes as well.“
“Get ready to get your hands dirty on this deliciousness. I ordered the smallest plate they chicken with two sides, tortillas, and salsa.Let me say it was delicioso! It's sort of a Juan Pollo style family owned biz that does it well. Although the macaroni salad was delicious it is prepared offsite.The line out the door also said a lot!“
“Looks and smells pretty good. I tried a piece but, my daughter ate most of it. Just ok. Long wait times in the drive-thru line but, was expected as the food is made to order . I think. The staff didn't seem to be too happy or jolly. They were not rude at all but, not too cheerful.“
“After visiting a VW show in Long Beach and showing homes in the South Bay we wanted some genuine Filipino food and this smaller restaurant was rated as one of the best... for a good reason. Michelle is an awesome host, very talkative and informative. My mother-in-law was born and raised in Pampanga and the roots of the restaurant are Pampangan as well. Sisig and Silog were very nice, halo halo a welcome palette cleanser. Parking was not difficult, even though we arrived at around 1pm on a Saturday. 10/10, highly recommended!“
“Absolutely love this place. I think we've been eating here about once every 2 weeks for the last year or so now and it is consistenly great every time. We like the half crispy and half sweet spicy wings the most. I love that they make it fresh on order - so you're always getting hot crispy wings every time. Definitely give this a place a try if you're looking for good korean style wings!“
“The most delicious, freshly prepared, juicy, well seasoned chicken breast sandwich I've ever had! It was great. At first, I thought it was burned because it was a really dark brown. But that's because it was saturated in seasoning. I chose the hot one and it was hot! Took a few minutes to sink in. The sauce that came with it looks like thousand island dressing but doesn't taste like it. Kinda hard to describe the taste except it Kinda cools down the intense heat and pairs well with the chicken. I really enjoyed my sandwich and I'll be back.Vegetarian options: Fried cauliflower wings substitute for chicken“

“We got to meet Juan! He is amazing! Not only did he make us feel so welcome. He broke the menu down for us and showed great hospitality! One top of that the tacos, pastor and asada (what we've tried so far) are truly out of this world! Salsas made in house. & they cater! We will be back.“
“Bird-N-Bun is a go-to and I absolutely love the sandwiches. The chicken is fried perfectly and juicy, whether you order original, spicy or deluxe. The loaded fries are very good, but the fries themselves are kind of whatever in terms of flavor but with everything else going on they kind of get away with it. Would be awesome if they loaded the original and spicy sandwiches with coleslaw like most other fried chicken sandwich places, so 4 stars for poor fry quality and having to pay extra for something that comes standard most other fried chicken places. Delivery is always fast, which is awesome when your hungry in a pinch. It's a ghost kitchen so there's not much in terms of ambiance, but the service is usually good if you go to pickup.“
“Lets talk Crimson Coward!! This place was amazing!! I got the onion joey style with the extra spicy rub. The spicy factor delivered and shouldn’t be ordered by most! (I eat a lot of spicy so its hitting just right for me, but buyer beware). I’m stoked as a visitor of long beach to find such great food that I WILL be returning to even on my drives through LB.The food was phenomenal and absolutely unable to eat all of it and for $16 in these days with leftovers is a steal for the quality food you’re getting there!The service was rough.. it needs serious reworking, but lets not talk about that because I’d go again for the food, it was that worth it!“
“Anybody who knows me knows how much I love wings, so I'm always looking for a good wing place so that i don't overdose on WingStop. If this place was closer to where I live, it would probably replace WingStop as my go to place. That's how good it was!My explore page on Instagram recommended it, and I'm so glad I went. It's a small place where you order, but they do have a good outdoor dining area with plenty of room around the back. I had the sweet heat and spicy bbq flavors. The sauces were amazing, just sweet enough without overpowering. The wings were big and juicy, and the fries were crispy with just the amount of salt. I will definitely head back there again soon to try all the other flavors they have“
“Delicious food, in a fun location! What more could you ask for? Good service? They've got that too. The guy behind the counter is hilarious and provides great service. Ordered the sunshine and Nutella love waffles which are Soo tasty. Also ordered a chicken sandwich minus the provolone and it too was wonderful.“

“I LOVE it here, they have such a great menu, great team as well along with great creative ideas with new flavors. I love what they offer and the food hits every time and I love the sauces too because they are so creative with it. The quality of the produce they use is on point and you don't feel cheated for your money when you eat here, plus it's a great price too. You GOT to try the DRAGONFIRE sauce too, it's so perfect.“
“(Translated by Google) The sheep barbecue ? highly recommended.I haven't tried the chicken yet but I will soon.The attention is very good, a very quiet place to eat in the place.The atmosphere you do, whether with family or friendsOnly one recommendation, they could improve a little more with the sauces.(Original)La barbacoa de borrego ? muy recomendable .Todavía no he probado los pollos pero pronto lo haré .La atención muy bien un lugar muy tranquilo para comer en el lugar.El ambiente lo haces tu ya sea familiar o con amigosSolo una recomendación podrían mejorar un poco más con las salsas.“
“The cup was big and for the prices, definitely worth it! My brother and I got Churros with ice cream. For my flavors, I got milk cereal and strawberry cheesecake ice cream and my brother got brownie and horchata. Tasty flavors!There was only one person working when we walked in and then gave us a warm welcome! Very chill customer service and I would definitely go back there again. The store is small and the parking wasn't too bad. They had little goodies from other countries like this giant skittles I got!The churros were good with the ice cream, it was really sweet but good! 10/10 would eat this ice cream again!“
“I've been coming here for quite some time. The person in the front is very kind and always greets me in the warm and nice way. I have recommended this restaurant to a few people and their experiences were the same. My go-to is the Combo A, It comes with Rice and Teriyaki chicken, two rolls, salad and gyozas. The food is always fresh, and the taste is delicious. I can't stop eating at this restaurant. The food is great.“
“The korean fried chicken isso yummy here! I've tried a few other korean fried chicken places in the South Bay and this is my favorite. Can't go wrong with any of the flavors. But be warned - their spicy is seriously spicy. I love spicy and it was almost too much for me. I also highly recommend the rose toppoki.“
“Cluck & Blaze is pretty popular. There were a lot of people that came and went in a short amount of time, but it wasn’t packed.I ordered the main chick combo which comes with 1 side. I got the Mac n cheese (should have more cheese in my opinion) and I pretty sure much inhaled it. Try dipping it in the ComeBack Sauce!!The Main Chick Sandwich was delicious, especially the coleslaw, and the chicken was juicy. For the heat level, I chose You can do better (mild) which I regret because I don’t eat a lot of spicy food. So I died inside and it didn’t help that the sandwich was hot. Overall, everything was great. This place is for people who love spicy food, but I’m going back just never choosing mild or above.“
“Hubby and I were craving for Korean fried chicken and searched up places on Ubereats to try. We were sold on this one and placed an order for golden original and spicy golden original. The chicken was yum and super crispy! I highly recommend their spicy golden chicken. My eldest doesn't eat spicy food but she said the flavor was too good and would suffer through heat haha. Food also came with pickled radish. Highly recommend giving this spot a try.“
“I came for the chicken sandwich but since I didn’t have breakfast. I went with the Chicken & Waffles. This may have been one of the BEST Waffles I had ever tried. It was Hot & Fresh. It was almost like eating a fresh buttery donut but not as sweet with the Maple Syrup. i ordered the dark meat chicken but it wasn't the heat level i was looking for. Id need to try again with the smokey tomato sauce. Highly recommend that too. Ill definitely be back:“
“The reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the boneless wings are horrible. They are cut cubes of chicken breast that aren’t even tender that you can barely chew. So much oil in box it leaked out all over the bag and luckily I put it in another bag or oil would have been all over my car seat.“
“Update Review: 03-02-2024When you want some good Peruvian food or just want to get a drink or so, highly recommend this spot located here in Rolling Hills Estates. They have the best Anticucho De Pollo checken skewers and let's not forget the hot sauce! It's the BOM. For dinner meal, I would recommend the Lomo Saltado if you love beef with french fries, onions and green onions with cilantro and top it off with tomatoes. One of my favorite dishes. So instead of reading my reviews, come on down and try it for yourself.~Harry IrvineQuick and fast service at this location. Food is really good fresh and hot, highly recommended this place for thoses who never tried there food.Harry IrvineCalifornia Air Conditioning Systems“
“Super happy with the attention from everyone, the manager is very friendly and Mrs. Bertha is super friendly. The food has a good presentation and taste, very clean. This place cleans almost all the tables and I say almost because of the customers who had just left the super floor. clean trash cans clean even the refreshment area clean even the drain super white I am a very frequent customer in these restaurants and many are very dirty that's why I took 10 minutes of my time to put this message as a thank you. and thank you We respect the quick service from the cooks who are the ones who do the most work.“
“Small Hole in the wallThis place was super clean and the staff was friendly and informative.It's Cash Only !! But they have an ATM inside.I got the Half chicken plate with red rice and macaroni salad ...it was Delicious.I Highly Recommend You Try This Place.“
“I absolutely love their chicken, it's my favorite dish to order here. Rosa is so nice and gives excellent customer service. She checks on us and brings whatever we need with a smile. My Dad said his Camarones a lá Diablá was delicious but my roasted chicken was super delicious. Their homemade tortillas are fantastic. The salsa & sauces are the best homemade salsas I've had at a restaurant. I feel like I'm at my Abuela's house for dinner. I am a very picky Mexican eater and drive from the Marina to come here. The dining room has very comfortable booths and they are always clean when we come. Will be back very soon.“

“OMG, if you know me, then you know I love my chicken. Whether it be grilled chicken, BBQ chicken, chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, all of the above!!!We were driving around in the area and as soon as I saw this location, I bookmarked it. I looked at the pictures and was sold. I had planned to visit soon, but since we were done with our business around the same time they opened, I stopped to get a bite. I am so glad I did. The menu is easy. They got chicken tenders, jalapeño poppers, fries, and sandwiches. There are many flavors to choose from too. They got mild to spicy. My favorite was the Lemon Pepper. The tenders are big too. We ended up ordering the 4 piece meal with crinkle fries and I was stuffed. The even best part is that it comes with a Texas Toast. Everything was so delicious. We also ordered Garlic Parmesan tenders but we loved the Lemon Pepper. There are fountain drinks but they also got different flavored lemonades. I immediately saw they had Kool Aid and that was exactly what I got. It was on the sweeter side so I ended up mixing the Strawberry and Mango lemonades to make my own drinks. I guess everyone else does the same, so I was impressed. They know whats up. The staff, service, and speed to get our food were great. We were the first to order so that may be why. But a huge party came in, so this place is def a hit. They got part trays so the next party I have, I may stop by to get a few tender trays. It is delicious!!!“
“I was pleasantly, just surprised by the quality of the chicken. However, the waffles were a little dry and lacking the bread was also nothing special, but the restaurant was almost empty and the chicken was fresh, which leaves me to believe that this restaurant deserves a little more love from the LA community, especially during Black Lives Matter.“
“I’m amazed. I was just passing by and decided to have Maui Chicken. DELICIOUS! I ordered salmon and avocado poke bowl, 100% recommend this place. Service amazing, they are very polite. It was a very hot day, I forgot to order water or anything to drink, the owner gave me a cold water bottle before leaving and said “it’s a very hot day outside, have some water”. They literally treat you like family. I saved this place in my favorites, I’m coming back. It wasn’t the free water for me, it was how kind they are here, they are laughing all the time, very nice energy. Food is AMAZING, taste and freshness are incredible. Portions are perfect, not too much rice. The plate comes with rice, A LOT of toppings, salad and mac&cheese for $19. It’s not overpriced at all, I don’t mind paying, when food and service are 5 stars. Thank you Maui Chicken, I’ll be back soon.*Food was so good I couldn’t stop, forgot to take a pic of my plate haha.“
“This is my first time dining here. And, wow. So glad I did. From the friendly cashier to cleanliness and the quality and seasoning of the food. I'm definitely coming. The Galbi Rice Bowl is just perfect. Not spicy and a pleasure to eat. Parking outside is plentiful and convenient. It's located just inside, to the left before entering the market. Give it a try. You'll thank me.“
“The good: I had been craving fried chicken for 3 days but felt guilty about ordering it. I caved today and ordered some for a backyard picnic. I got the half order of bone-in pepper fried chicken for $20 thru delivery. It came with around 8 pieces. The chicken was hot, tender, juicy, and crunchy. I liked that it wasn't too salty, oily, or sweet. I liked the vented cardboard box it came in and how it was sturdier than KFC boxes. The pickled radish that came with it was sweet and crunchy. I definitely want to try their other flavors now. You can choose boneless options as well. The bad: The pepper wings seemed to have curry powder on it. It was a nice flavor but not what I expected. I would prefer it without it. It's a bit pricier than I expected. The interesting: I had a hankering for fried Korean chicken after watching the Try Guys' YouTube video on eating bb.q Chicken. They said pepper was their favorite so I ordered just that. The pepper wings look super peppery but don't taste as spicy as they look.“
“I came in for the first time super bowl morning and cashier was very sweet, I believe her name was Sandra, she recommended my girlfriend the number one combo which was 10/10. I thought it would be too much food but the portion was perfect and even had some leftovers. It was pretty busy but staff was very well managed and I got my order before the wait time she gave us.“
“I initially heard about this culinary establishment on recommendation from a neighbor who knows how to find the best restaurants. I was told that the food was amazing, the ambiance was happily centered around the kitchen, the chefs were friendly and personable...and there were only two tables inside. My first trip to Lacquered was with two good friends. We entered through the double-cleavered front doors, sat at one of the two indoor tables and proceeded to order many items off their regular menu: the half fried chicken meal, the garlic noodles, salmon and avocado spring rolls, fig and peach pita-za, and the crispy pork egg rolls, with four of their house made sauces. Ok. First of all: Best Fried Chicken in Long Beach. Many may argue this opinion, but they would be absolutely wrong. Five pieces of crispy, juicy, savory chicken with the perfect amount of seasoning. The accompanying (honey mustard) coleslaw is easily the best coleslaw I have ever tasted. The fig and peach pizza on pita bread was original and paired some wonderful tastes. The egg rolls were wonderful, the garlic noodles rode the perfect balance of garlic, scallions, butter and sauce. And the spring rolls held a hefty amount of salmon and avocado within their rice paper, with tangy sweet & sour sauce and a perfect peanut dipping sauce. Oh...the sauces: they make all their own sauces at Lacquered, too. Honey mustard, garlic sauce, peanut sauce, sweet & sour, ranch, BBQ...even the catsup! The kitchen makes them all from scratch and it shows. We finished the meal with Lacquered's Sticky Toffee Pudding and it was the right call. The three of us finished it (along with a delectably salty-sweet Crack Cookie) and felt no regret, despite all of the food that we so fervently consumed. We were stuffed, but not overly loaded. Throughout the meal, we got to meet Scott and Diana and learn about their history and how the restaurant came about: two fine dining chefs forced to deal with catering to COVID shortly after opening their restaurant. Most of their business is takeout or one of the many delivery services in the area, but please consider eating at the restaurant. Everyone who enters this eatery should appreciate what it is: a kitchen run by world-class chefs that caters to the people of Long Beach. If you are feeling lucky and have the time, I recommend trying to grab one of the two tables that are situated indoors at Lacquered. Order a variety of items and patiently wait for the food to arrive as it is readied. It could be a 90 minute meal or 2 hours, but I guarantee it will be worth any wait. Patience and understanding that each meal is made to order will pay off. Chef Scott and Chef Diana have a gem of a place hidden on Broadway. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Feel free to thank me later.“
“Without a doubt the best Pollo Loco I've ever visited in SOCAL. I had the Pollo Bowl which is my go to budget meal. Most Pollo Loco restaurants I've visited slap the bowl together as it is a value meal. Not here. The bowl was a bit larger than other restaurants. The beans and rice were not soggy. The chicken was a decent portion and most importantly ot was evident that that bowl was prepared with detail and caring. The cilantro, onion, and chicken where neatly place on the bowl giving an inviting presentation. And it was delicious. Thank for a wonderful meal.“
