Chicken Shops near Encino, CA

“Three little parking spaces in a fair-sized lot. To create a second drive-through lane, the remainder of the parking lot is completely walled off. We had a terrible experience trying to eat there because it is only open to Togo unless you are parking illegally. While I got out and waited for the food, my spouse circled the area. I should refer to it as a Chick fil A "drive-through" or "express" chick fil a that is different from the usual cozy and inviting ones.In addition to being busy due to the setup, they are neither approachable or proactive in greeting you like typical the restaurant employees. At 11:15 a.m., it resembles a typical fast-food restaurant or lunch factory. Feels off“

“I went to finally try this spot on a Thursday for $2 tenders. Ordered 2 cool (less than mild), 2 glow (mild), and 2 spark (medium). They all came out looking the same and once I tried it all, there wasn't much of a difference in spice level. I could've tried the next tier after Spark --- I think .The batter was great - loved the crunch and crispyness of it.I thought they would've been stingy about the $2 tenders but the size of the tenders were a good size.Staff was nice and efficient for a busy Thursday lunchtime. There's outdoor seating if you can't find a spot inside.“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.! college kids working hard to make money & they're such good workers.!the food is made with love & passion cause you can taste it in the food they serve you! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.! very good people & quality food.! love this place.!“

“Food was good, even though we were not aware it was plant based until we started eating. We dont frequent plant based or vegan restaurants, so i dont know, but seemed very pricy for me. Family of three, burgers, fries and drinks was around $75. It was a nice experience even though we didnt realize it was a 100% plant based restaurant. Check that off the bucket list ?“

“I love this place! The chicken is deliciously spicy. I love spice, so I get hot spice and it's perfect. The fries are well seasoned and crispy. The white sauce is the best sauce. My order is always ready when I get there and the staff is very kind!“

“For those who enjoy heat, Dave's Hot Chicken provides a tasty and fiery dining experience. A tempting kick is provided by the menu's assortment of fried chicken selections, each with a different level of heat. Highlights of the chicken include its crispy outside and juicy within, which add to its pleasing texture. On the other hand, people who are sensitive to heat may find the strong spice too much for them. Some may be left yearning for more variety due to the menu's narrow selection—which consists just of chicken and few side dishes. In spite of this, people who enjoy strong flavors and can handle heat still consider Dave's Hot Chicken to be a must-visit.“

“It was the best experience I've had in a restaurant!! The man who helped me(Sam) was such a sweetheart:)) He made the experience a 10 for me and the food was amazing, the fries are crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside. It's a bit of a drive for me but I will be coming back!“

“Amazing customer service here at hangry moons always has me coming back for more. Food is amazing for a late dinner and pricing is at an affordable rate. Will always recommend hangry moons if you’re ever in the Westwood area! 11/10 overall!!“

“Nashville hot chicken in LA? Oh yes. 4 degrees of heat to choose from. Everything made fresh. Staff friendly and helpful, even asked me multiple times if I was sure we wanted medium heat. Large portion. Delicious. A must try if you are in town.“

“Workers are so nice and friendly the time i was there i saw them help many customers with orders, as well and the place is always clean, and don't let me get started on the food definitely will become a regular it's so so good and they have great service fast service may I add im always in and out of there within a couple minutes definitely would recommend for other to come and try this place !!!“

“We couldn’t find parking to drop off package at UPS store so we parked behind the store and discovered this restaurant. Food is delicious and service has been great. Normally we would eat at Panda but now we are supporting this small business.“

“The ambiance is alright it's a small little shop I'm guessing they're still renovating it I'm not sure but it's on a busy street you can do a u turn so that's the good thing I didn't mind and you can park in the back aswell and the service was good I'm not gonna lie they took my order quickly didn't wait that long like 15-20 minutes for my food it was worth it though I'm not gonna lie them fries are good as hell perfectly seasoned and not too hard just crispy/ limp but that slaw was amazing that's what I think had a crazy amount of flavors in it, it was the best slaw I've ever tasted I honestly wouldn't mind just ordering their slaw alone and their chicken is crispy as hell perfectly coated in flavor and breading the juice is seen in the bites you take it's good as hell and their sauce is good the yellow one is amazing it taste almost identical or similar to the chicken-fil-a sauce but that's my opinion you should decide on your own and see but also white sauce is also pretty good and overall it was pretty great I'm not gonna lie yall should come and try it fs!!!!“

“Great first time experience, top quality, not greasy like most places, great flavors and size portions. Sebastian helped us figure out the menu and options, he was so helpful and very nice. The ambiance is great love the outdoor seating. Highly recommend coming here, we will definitely be coming back!“

“I can't say anything bad about this place... The owner has a good thing going on. The chicken is breaded PERFECTLY and seasoned well. The chicken itself is TENDER and JUICY... I'm so glad I found this spot. Every time I'm in the area I stop by during my work break. Seriously some of the best chicken I've ever had in my life. He hooks me up. He gives a good amount of food. Love this place.“

“I always been coming here these people are awesome, they mostly have your food ready and everything prepared on time, I'm writing a review for this specific time I went. I ordered a combo and they gave me alot of extra food, they hooked it up I guess just because. So I asked for Mac and cheese in replacement of the fries but they gave both, so it seems like that was just a free addition. And they gave me an extra tender too, alot of free extra food, I love that, thats how you get customers to be loyal and come back, I guess they just did it for the good or generosity, I'm not sure the reason why they gave extra food, but I'm guessing just cause they felt nice and like doing a good thing which is awesome i love that, thank you guys I really appreciate it“

“Wow, my second time grabbing food at this Holdaak location yesterday. I ordered the 20 piece meal with 2 ordered of French fries and drinks. The chicken is so crispy and good. I do not understand any complaints at all over the food. They have big selections of dips and all. Some you have to spend extras on, but that's cool. I am still waiting for locations in Orange County where I live.“

“This was a reasonable meal, but not top notch overall. But we didn't order any dumplings, so perhaps that would have made a difference. The banchan - the side dishes, were mediocre. But at least they provided some! Three dishes - an average kimchi, a very dull pickled radish (not a lot of flavor), and some shredded lettuce with thousand island dressing (not exciting). We had a half order of soy garlic fried chicken - very tasty, although you can't always tell what part of the chicken you are eating (they are cutting up the chicken themselves, which is not unusual). THe fried chicken is cooked very well and the coating is crispy, then they just dump whichever sauce you order on top. I would order this again. We also ordered bulgogi, which is a new dish and not on the regular menu. This was VERY good, I wish we ordered a full order instead of a half order (for two people). Very tasty. Servings were a bit small but reasonably priced. I did like that they are cooking everything fresh for you. Service was friendly and reasonably attentive. I guess I was just put off by the mediocre banchan.“

“My Favorite chicken place. If you love flavor Dave's is the spot. Whether you want spicy or mild Dave's has the tastiest options. The menu is limited but you don't need anything but their yummy chicken coated in tasty seasonings with possibly the best sauce I have ever had. No lie. Dave's hot chicken sauce is addictive. Popeyes who?“

“Just happened to stop by Wildbird and was very impressed. The free-range chicken was hot and crispy and tasted great. We had the full chicken meal and while it was a bit expensive, it was good. We had the beans and the I would highly recommend getting the sweet potatoes. If you do a Google review you get free salsa and chips. The chip seasoning was good. Geo was our server and was really great in helping us order. I would definitely go back and also check out their other location.Parking: It's Westwood“

“The food was good. I ordered the combo, that included two chicken Sandwiches and fries. The drinks were not included.I ordered a "naked" chicken sandwich (not spicy) and a mild chicken sandwich. The mild chicken sandwich was really spicy.Pros:ll Good servicell The chicken Sandwiches are big and they gave me a lot of friesll clean locationll it was chill“

“Dave's hotbox with fires is excellent and feeds 3-4 people. Sandwiches are great but it's not that spicy. Fast service and it's open late which is nice. The only issue I have with it is that their toast is not very good. It's just white bread not that special“

“I love getting their food after school because it’s close by and there’s a bunch of options that I like a lot. I like their sandwich the most because the sauce they put in it tastes really good with the chicken, and their place is close by in the LA area so I don’t have to drive out too far to get a good meal.Kid-friendliness: I go with my little brother sometimes when I pick him up afterschool and the workers are so kind and there’s non-spicy options for the food that me and my lil brother can enjoy :D great place and great service too“

“Simply the BEST el pollo I’ve ever visited (& I visit a lot). The most caring and sincere staff (Ofelia, Daniel, David & Jackie are always the sweetest of people-I eat here daily). The food is quality and the prices are fair. The restaurant is always super clean. Thank you for being such a great place to visit. The BEST!!!!“

“I looked up Macho Burger it's still under the Chic BB. Stopped by yesterday.one of my ex-coworker is here now. They still have chicken sandos . Prices are reasonable $10 The truffle burger is the top of price line. I got the black pepper cheese burger. It was large,sloppy but quite tasty. I could of easily eaten 1/2 and be ok. This kind of burger doesn't re heat well. That motivated me to finish the macho burger it clashed with my Del estrogen hormone shots. The bun didn't hold up....the fries are very good. They fry well here. They were out of chicken cartilage.... A very Asian item...“

“It's a 5 for food. Always consistently good chicken and fries. Probably the only fast casual restaurant that has fries that hold up well being transported. However, on my Uber eats tonight, my Loaded fries had no chicken and I was missing the extra sauce I had ordered which was very disappointing.“

“I often visit 3 locations.This one (@Lincoln/east of 10 Fwy) and the one in Sherman Oaks ( 405/@Dickens ) are the best! Both have great..fresh chicken and is tender, never, dry or tough as in the third one [A] rice freshily cooked as are the beans, great fresh salsas and chopped cilantro . All their Staff happy and treat you nicely,they're also helpful with offering many new choices, btw always clean locations.“

“Piping hot, fresh chicken sandwich. Definitely will try again. I was naive for getting only a sandwich and being tricked by these other reviews saying it was huge! It is decent size but totally enough for just one person! The sauces are pretty good too. It took 15 min for the sandwich to be done but it was worth it. Ate it in the driveway with my friend in like 3 min flat“

“I got the soy garlic Korean fried chicken wings with fries (lunch special) and wow! The flavors slapped. Was warm because the chicken wings were made fresh. Went during lunch time and it took a bit for them to make my chicken but most Korean fried chicken takes a while. The indoor seating was nice and plentiful“

“I go to the The Shops at Sportsmen's Lodge very frequently and knew that this eatery was open but never tried it until tonight (1/29/24). I was avoiding it due to the cost but for the value it is actually great! As I was not super hungry, I got the Chicken Pita (Chicken, gingery turmeric roasted onions, golden raisins, yogurt sauce, arugula). It was amazing and super filling. The chicken was fresh and the raisins really gave it the extra flavor. They REALLY FILL the pita! My friend got the Quarter Chicken Plate (Choice of light or dark, with hummus, wedge salad, pickles, pita, chili oil + garlic sauce). They substituted the pita for the Schmaltzy Potatoes (Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside). It was a big portion and could have been shared. Will definitely be back!“

“Great izakaya spot if you want to sip on drinks and share a few dishes. Each dish is smaller in portion and makes it great for ordering different items and slowly enjoying them with some sake. They are known for the chicken wings which are juicy and flavorful but a little bit on the smaller side. Love the chicken cartilage because it has a great crunch on it and the grilled squid was great for changing up the texture. Service is friendly and fast and inside is a casual spot. Great for relaxing, catching up with friends, and sipping on beer or sake!“

“Food truck review: food was delicious and portions were a generous size. Ordered the Flamin Fries, 4 sliders combo and flamin elote. The sliders were not small at all! I actually got full with one. The flamin elote was definitely unique but I prefer the flamin fries. They do charge for extra sauce, I wish we got at least 1 extra sauce with our combo order. 10/10“

“Went to Kluckin Chicken and was greeted by a nice young man named Arthur. Asked him for his recommendation and it was the Chicken Quesadilla and boy was he on the money. I am not a big fan of different cheeses in my food but this was probably one of the best quesadillas I've ever had. Make sure that you eat it with the sauce that it comes with. My son decided to stick with his normal order of getting chicken tenders. At first I thought the prices here were absolutely ridiculous after paying $43 for two people but when you get your order and see how much food you get.This is like getting lunch and dinner for most people so the value for what you get made it easier to swallow the bill .Fries were OK and could have used a little bit more seasoning but once you dip them in the sauce it makes it all better.“

“The chicken here is very delicious. The only bad thing is that there are 2 girls that when they are in the kitchen they don't add any chicken, I ask for extra paying extra and not even that. They should be fired. And a fatty who has a very ugly manner and is very filthy.“

“Their fried chicken are so good and crispy, even after reheated in the oven. I like most of their flavor except the Mala which was so oily. They explained that it was stir fried in the mala oil after being fried. The kimchi fried rice was good as well. The staff is very friendly.“

“Scrumptious Korean fried chicken! Located inside the Galleria food court. I highly recommend ordering ahead of time if you can. They fry the chicken to order and can take 10-15 minutes. I do my grocery shopping, tuck my cart somewhere, order at the food court, then checkout my groceries and put away in my car. By the time I get back, the chicken is almost great for pick up! The soy garlic is my favorite. They get the chicken glass shatteringly crispy. FYI, they do NOT serve the chicken sandwiches in WAFFLES anymore, just in brioche buns. Not bad, but the waffles were what distinguished them. Only getting the chicken from now on. Opt for the pink radish side dishes! They're the best to eat with the chicken.“

“Before moving to SFV, my bf and I would go out to find something to eat, during one of those days we passed in front of this place, we had to make a U turn, the smell of charbroiled chicken was inviting us to go try it, the chicken was delicious, I bought an extra chicken so my family could try it and they too loved it. I have tried the ribs, but for some reason every time the meat was super hard, and didn't even have barbecue sauce, I gave up and no longer order ribs, only the chicken, it has yet to disappoint me. The staff is friendly and they are quick.“

“The didn't even have all the side ingredients which sucks they didn't even have salt available for the costumers, lol employees where to look for it somewhere and took forever that made my mother upset lol not worth it. Too expensive for the bad service and the rest!“

“I have been a customer since they were on Topanga cyn blvd. Always good food and service. Work does take me out of town and well, I drove by and it was closed. in 2022 I was with a crew going to lunch on Winnetka when I happen to notice thier sign.. I convinced another to join me for peruvian BOOM so glad I found them again I now have two great places for peruvian El Hatuchay and Fina Estampa.. Peruvian food to die for the others just dont measure up ..“

“Not just spicy but fresh and crisp made-to-order hot chicken and wings. I normally don’t dip but their house sauce was an irresistible compliment to the chicken. Cole slaw was simple and snappy which balanced the intensity of the other flavors. Portions are generous. Personable staff. Definitely will be returning.“

“When done right, the chicken will be crispy and have a strong spice flavor. More often than not, their inconsistency gets the better of them, and you may receive cold fries, soggy tenders, or one dimensional seasoning. They are true to spice levels, and one should be mindful when selecting. Pricing is fair leaning slightly on the expensive side.“

“The food was delicious, and the customer service was great, BUT the wait time was/is long ( waited 20 in line & 10 for food). The layout of the dining area doesn't accommodate the volume of customers coming in to order or dining in, specifically the seating area right in front of the register no one was able to use those tables because the line blocked the area. THE FOOD IS GOOD. If you heard the hype about Canes, they're not wrong.“

“Searching for something good to say about my experience at Los Pollo Sabrosos, I think it's safe to say that it made me appreciate El taco and El Pollo Loco a lot more. If you enjoy tastelessness, overpriced chicken burritos, you're gonna love this gem. And from the few pieces of chicken that I found in each bite, I feel like at some point there would be a flavor or texture I could embrace. Sometimes a salsa could be a game changer. But not in this case, as the salsa was even more bland and tasteless than the chicken burrito. so there's no need to worry about spicy food here, you will love it. I'm not sure if it's my imagination or if it was really there, but occasionally I would get a hint of char taste from the barbecue. The most redeeming quality of the plate is the small, 2 tablespoons of salad, or seasoned lettuce with some tomatoes and onions. That's if that's what you want to call it. I also had 3 chip pieces which weren't so bad. Oh, the effort to pick 3 broken chips from the bag and toss them into the container is admirable. Such an attention to detail and 3 is a lucky number. The roasted jalapeño, which makes me not take for granted a roasted jalapeño anymore either. It tased like a roasted jalapeño and I was pleasantly surprised. I would consider it a skill to be able to produce such a bland tasting, texture cringing, morsel. Not on the menu and no price: chicken burrito Chicken tacos Chicken fajitas Tri tip plate Chicken quesadilla My burrito was 12.58 after tax I'm very fortunate to get a chance to come and try the chicken here. It gives me a new baseline for grilled chicken. It was pollo Sonora, and google shows the new name and old pictures and reviews, don't be fooled. I'd give it one star, but at this point, I really doubt they're gonna be around much longer after I even post this. Unless there's some amazing restaurant rescue.“

“Long line during rush hour lunch, but the employees got the skills and talent to keep the line moving. Delicious chicken sandwiches and warm food when you pick up. Vary happy with the service and time it takes from ordering to receiving my order. A+ “

“This is such a nice little spot. I'm grateful it's so conveniently located nearby, because the food is always awesome and it's super easy to walk a couple blocks to pick it up. Their combo is by far the best deal for me. Hot and sour soup, egg rolls, wontons, rice, and an entree? It lasts me for a good long while between dishes - I think this last time I had three good meals between all that goodness. Definitely a contender for one of my more favorite Chinese food restaurants in the area.“

“I love the chicken and Ube Pie here at JOLLIBEE....I ordered 3 pieces of chicken w 2 sides and a drink.However I asked for the adobo rice. The cashier failed to tell me that is was an upgrade, so she just charged me anyways.... There is no where indicated what sides I can get on the JOLLIBEE display menu.SO WHEN I GOT MY ORDER....they gave me 3 steak burgers with gravy and mushrooms, you can see from the pictures below.I am very dissapointed and unsatisfied with their communication and level of service. I was so hungry I didn’t make a big deal and just eat my food....JOLLIBEE has great chicken but service was bad at this location.“

“I do door to door sales, after knocking me and my homies were looking for a spot, and I promise you this local shop is the best hot chicken in California. The sauce is impeccable, the food is fried to perfection.I bageled today, but after I ate Ritchie’s hot chicken, I popped a 10 spot.5/5 recommend it!“

“I came to this location w/ my hubby to eat a chicken tortilla soup and a 2pc meal combo .Let me tell you that the customer service with Juan was awesome ? and the food was fast and very good quality, the chicken was just right and all the food was hot .I've been to other Pollo Loco locations and the food is unevenly hot and the tortillas are always hard on one side and kinda soft on the other , chicken always burnt and hard to chew..But here at this Location was very good .I clean my plate clean.I'm very happy with everything..We will definitely stop here more often.“

“Wow, I discovered this place by accident cuz I had the intention of dining in a nearby restaurant but it was closed. Since I was already very hungry, I decided to give this place a try and I was glad I did. Definitely a hole in the wall in this part of NoHo, this place has minimal decorations and a few tables and chairs for dining customers. I ordered three tacos, asada, pollo and pastor. I loved each one of them. Definitely tasted very authentic, I thought for a second I was in Mexico. I'm hoping to drop by again soon cuz I want to try the charbroiled chicken which looks like is the specialty here.“

“My kids like KFC. Personally, I prefer Popeyes. I usually order online and pick up. I never have any issues. I like this location as it has a drive thru so that is a plus. This is a little out of the way for me but as long as my kids enjoy it, I will keep coming back. I definitely believe their coleslaw is the best out of all the fast food places and including most sit down restaurants. We usually get extra crispy and it doesn't disappoint. Check them out.“
