Despite it being a busy day, Julian took the time to ensure that my pickup order was not only ready but also made sure I felt valued as a customer. His attention to detail and genuine kindness truly made my day. If you're looking for exceptional service and a positive attitude, Julian is your guy! Thank you, Julian, for going above and beyond to make my visit unforgettable!“

“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.“

“Provender: how's the chicken? Crispy and moist. I recommend getting your chicken sandwiches or wings from this joint. The wings are a decent size also. Prices: 10 wings will run you about $20. Seems pricey, but once you see and taste them, they'll seem worth it. Parking: they have a shared lot, and it's best to enter on Sherman Way. People: fun for all. Perks: they also offer hot dogs in addition to their sandwiches, strips, and wings. They have a wide variety of sauces, so you can order the original wings and get the sauce you enjoy best.“

“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.“

“Before visiting, someone mentioned that the place is owned by armenians and are very rude. We were a bit reluctant visiting at first but decided to give it a try. Not disappointed at all rather we were impressed by the cleanliness, friendly staff and amazing food. The prices are very good. I got two huge tender tacos with fries for $13 something and my husband got tenders. In $30 we has so much food that we had to pack and take it home. Also got a complementary chicken tender from the owner. Such a kind and welcoming gesture. Their lemon pepper chicken hits different! We are happy we visited this place and we'll be back soon. 10/10 recommended.“

“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!!“

“This place delivered as advertised! Super moist chicken. The atmosphere was ok but lots of dirty tables and when I asked about it the staff member gave me her towels to clean it myself. Overall, it was a manageable experience and this was my second trip the first was fantastic!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love CCC but can't stand that you don't have inside seating any longer. I hate take out and like to eat my food at restaurants. Your food is great (as long as the chicken doesn't get dried out) but please open your doors again! I go rarely now when I used to go weekly. Also please bring back the amazing blue cheese dressing!!“

“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“

“I always appreciate the top notch friendly service. I had mistakenly ordered from another CCC location and Yusef made the transfer of the order to the Westwood location seamless. I don't have a long lunch break, so every second counts. Thanks Yusef for the always positive service, problem solving on the spot, and showing up for the customers ! You rock!“

“We had dinner there with our girls. We all loved it, food was really good. Preparation time is quite slow but the result is amazing, the meat is very tender, crispy and buns taste good. I love it better than KFC which meat is much drier. Too bad we haven't got this food chain in France.“

“First time going to this california chicken cafe, and I have to say it was really nice and good. The food was good and made well. The service was amazing, and a man named ethan helped me with what I should order, and I am glad that he helped me choose. I will be glad to come back to this place.“

“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“

“I ordered takeout from them, I thought the chicken tenders were really good.The fries were mostly soggy, but my major complaint is their Texas toast. It is only a side item, but this is most certainly not Texas toast. Texas toast is supposed to be not only toasted, but buttered on both sides with garlic and herbs. It was literally just a piece of bread that definitely wasn’t toasted. Don’t list something on your menu as Texas toast when it’s really just a piece of bread. Part of me wants to give them lower than four stars so they definitely see this and fix the mistake, or maybe last night was just an anomaly and they do actually sell Texas toast the way it’s supposed to be made. Either way, all I got was a thick piece of bread that wasn’t toasted and had zero butter on it.“

“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“

“When I first moved down to LA, this was one of my favorite food discoveries. I loved ordering CCC for lunch or after the gym. What's changed in the last 3 years? My issue is that nothing has changed. The redundancy of the drive-up, receive a clear, yellow bag, drive back and enjoy my cold wrap or salad has become more of a chore than an experience. It's almost like a check the box "Did you eat today?" To their defense, the customer service, portions, and quality have always been top tier. For some reason I just don't crave CCC anymore. I'm not saying opening the lobby would change this, but the company could definitely use a shake up. A new menu item, a different wrap or salad, anything to excite the patrons. The saying goes "if it ain't broke don't fix it" but I vehemently disagree when it comes to CCC. They have the infrastructure to roll out some pretty cool food choices (ie seasoning the chicken in wraps, a hot wrap item, a new salad). Probably talking to myself here but oh well! CCC hear me out!“

“Always loved coming here with my family and getting the family meal or the plates. Now I like to get the bowls as it has rice, meat, and two sides. Comes with a garlic sauce and one more sauce you get to choose. I get the hot sauce. Always parking in the lot. It is free valet but def tip“

“Been stopping in here for a few years. It is inside the Greenland Market. The owner is wonderful & has a fun, infectious energy... but actually everyone else who works here is always very nice as well.Never had anything bad from here. The drinks, chicken, chips, dogs, rice cakes, everything has been yummy (never tried the sandwiches but judging from my experiences here, i would assume they're just as good). Doesn't take too long to get your food, but as everything is made fresh, it might be 5-15 minutes depending on what you order. Smart to put in an order first, then do some grocery shopping as you wait ?You can't go wrong with a yuzu slushie, some rice cakes and a half-n-half noodle dog. I sprinkle a sugar packet on my noodle dog - I'd highly recommend trying that if you haven't! ❤️Parking: Plenty of free parking at Greenland market.... but just beware of snatch thieves. Lol“

“Clean place. Good food. Fast service. I was looking for another falafel place in the area and I decided to try Zankou in Van Nuys. When I walked in I noticed that there was a lot of places to sit and it was nice and clean inside. When I walked up to the counter I noticed that everyone was wearing a uniform and everything looked nice and organized. You could smell the food in the background and it smelled really nice. I ordered the falafel pita with hummus and it was absolutely delicious. I will for sure be coming back here again!“

“Stopped by the other day to get some food ! The tritip and the hot chicken .. let me tel you it was delicious! The fries were warm and on point loved the potatoe salad amd pink sauce!! Very professional and nice presentation! Coming back today!! :)) thank youuu“

“Ordered the Chinese chicken salad. Mashed potatoes and the coconut cookie. Everything was delicious, the order was made quickly and the service was good. They really have turned the restaurant into take out only. I miss the pre pandemic days when we could eat inside, I know they save on labor by not having as many workers but it was such a nice dinning experience.“

“This place was amazing. The chicken was on point. They also do Carne Asada with amazing flavor. Beans and rice come as sides with the family meal and was perfect. We normally went to Pops chicken in North Hollywood but they always close early and it’s super frustrating when you want to eat after 5:30 PM.This will be our new go to place since they’re open late and their chicken is just as good if not better than other places we’ve been.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place is the definition of don't judge a book by its cover. The breakfast burrito with the garlic lemon rub and the medium spice chili is out of this world I have never had a better chicken sandwich anywhere. You will not regret trying this place!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The chicken and flavors are very solid. The chicken stays very crispy even with all of the added sauce. The service is fine, would recommend you call or order online as the wait can take 30+ minutes for an order. It's a small joint, so I generally just do takeout at this location. The mala spicy is my favorite flavor here. I would highly recommend for anyone that wants Korean style fried chicken on the west side.“

“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.“

“I've been spying to this spot via yelp for a month now and today I finally got my lazy butt to drive over here. It was a little odd how the parking lot is way in the back. When you come in it's pretty empty maybe they have more customers later in the evening time. When we came in we wanted the grilled wings we saw in the pictures. The lady told me no they don't have that. I showed her the pictures and told her i would pay for it if they can give me just wings. She was super nice and pulled some strings. They guy grilling outside was also super nice. Thank you for catering to my wishes lol. I will def come back here. The flavor is amazing and I love the fire grilled taste“
