    Combo #2 Two Sliders & Fries
    Chelsea A.

    We ordered door dash, two x two slider combos with side of Mac and cheese and sauces. Honestly the chicken tasted like oil with absolutely no other flavor whatsoever. It was burnt and the lack of coleslaw it was just hard to swallow. Some bites were okay with actual chicken meat but some were just burnt crisp that tasted like oil. We got medium which was not spicy whatsoever. I feel like they forgot to season it at all. Fries were pretty good but obviously cold since we ordered online. The honey sauce was nothing special, I also could not taste it on my sandwich. The Mac and cheese tasted like Kraft with a shit ton on pepper. Horrible. I don't even think sauce would save it. We were looking forward to trying this but yeah we won't be back.

    Ordered Waffles sandwich with fries, added Mac, added 2 tenders extra hot. This was what was left. Was hungry. Food no  good.

    I am looking for a new local spicy fried chicken sandwich spot...this one might have potential. For my first order I got the Waffle Sandwich and fries. An order of Mac and Cheese. 2 Tenders. added 1 Al's White sauce and 1 Al's Honey sauce. Overall I think the food items are terrible. I usually take a photo before eating for Yelp, but I posted my after because the food is just not good and the majority is still there. The waffles for the waffle sandwich was too doughy. I feel like it needed to be warmed up or toasted longer. The chicken and spice level for the sandwich was good. Fries were good as well. Wish there was ketchup to accompany them. (i really don't like the sauces I paid for) There was a packet of imitation maple syrup which brought a question mark to my mind. The mac did not have cheese in it. If so, it is similar to the powder you stir to make mac and cheese at home. No cheese, just color. The tenders were good on the spicy leve. I ordered the spiciest and it works. But the tenders were a bit dry which made me not want to eat the 2nd one. I added some more sauces and each of them have a tangy after taste to them. Not my style. Parking: Small private lot VERDICT: One and done

    Medium heat tenders

    Went there today ordered 4 combos 2 no pickles and we wanted seasoning on all the fries. All the fries had no seasoning and all the chicken had pickles on them. Whole order was wrong. Very disappointed when we got home to see that it was all wrong.

    Chicken salad

    Nice little gem I found in Roscoe Blvd. This is probably the best spicy chicken sandwich salad I've ever tried. The sauce is 10/10 and the chicken was very crispy to every bite. This place deserves more recognition for the quality of food they serve. Good job Al's hot chicken! I will surely come back to get my spicy chicken fix in the future.

    First thing is, the parking is super weird. It's small but what you think is a pathway, is actually a parking spot. If there weren't cars there, I would've driven right through. The lines can barely be seen on the ground and the way to get around the cars feels too tight to even get through! So very odd. We walked in and there was one customer. There was no music playing, dead silent. The cashier, I believe his name was Habib per my receipt, was super sweet and patient with us since it was our first time visiting. I wanted something small so I got a slider which is literally a mini hot chicken sandwich and perfect for me. My parents and bf got Combo #1 and everything was ordered to go. We waited a bit and walked over to an empty table. The fact that it was so quiet, you could hear everything. The cashier walked into the public restroom in the back of the restaurant and proceeded to hack and cough. It was honestly unappetizing and really gross but he had to do what he had to do I guess. Just wish there was music playing in the restaurant to kind of try to hide all that. Our food was ready and we took it home, about a 15 min drive back. Food was still fresh and incredibly delicious!! Had a bit of a kick but wasn't anything too crazy. The buns were super soft and that's how it should be! My dad really enjoyed it and we were already excited to come back for more. Great spot and would definitely recommend it. One of the better hot chicken spots out here for sure. IG: @ammysalamii

    Came in around lunch time and was pleasantly surprised with this establishment. I ordered the lunch special in spicy, a combo 3 medium, and the loaded fries with Mac. The crunch on the chicken was spectacular. It was also seasoned well, and I appreciated that it wasn't too greasy. The fries were also fried to perfection, and not too salty or over seasoned they were just right. I was given a sampler of their sauces, which heightened the fries. The loaded fries were so yummy. The mac could use a little more cheese and flavor if I'm being honest but I wasn't mad at it either. The customer service was very attentive and food was out within 15 mins as promised. I will for sure be back!

    I was in LA this weekend and looking for something to eat while waiting for my dad's appointment. I stumbled across Al's and as a big lover of spicy chicken I had to give it a go. I had a look over the menu and there was no way I couldn't order the loaded mac n' cheese bowl. I got that with spicy chicken and boy did it deliver. First of all, I was expecting a typically bowl like you'd get at other chicken places but this thing was huge. Much larger portion than other places I've gone, I couldn't even finish it. Piled high with delicious chicken, great mac n' cheese and crispy fries I was in heaven. The chicken was perfect heat for me, the sauce on the mac 'n cheese was delicious. It hit the spot and definitely made me wish I lived closer so I could try this out again sometime.

    Delicious goodness

    Calm atmosphere and very caring staff. The attention to detail by the manager was the best he as well as his staff answered all my questions and made us feel very welcomed. The food omg delicious, my family had different combos and I had the salad , ALL items were delicious and the portions are very generous. Please keep up the great customer service and delicious food, you now have a customer for life!

    Delicious, mouth watering, Perfect! Three tenders, fries, and a coke. They provide plenty of sauces in small dip cups, which makes the dipping fun and covers your target bite completely! My favorite of all the Nashville Style Hot Chicken places in town.

    Al's Loaded Mac & Cheese

    Angry Chickz was an hour wait so we went here, got the loaded mac for $16. Mac tastes like butter noodles, chicken is dry, fries are stale. It's so bland it ruined my night. Sauce couldn't even save it, absolutely disappointed and upset. Customer service was spectacular though.

    My first time trying Indonesian food, and LaaLaaPan made it such a memorable experience. We ordered…read morethe Nasi Tumpeng Mini (18), grilled fish, and Martabak Manis for dessert, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. The people who I assume own the restaurant, working as both the waiters and chefs, were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they serve. Since we were completely new to Indonesian cuisine, they patiently answered our questions and gave us great recommendations, which made the experience even better. This is exactly the kind of small business you want to support. The flavors were unlike anything I've had before, and I loved getting to try something so different. My favorite dish was easily the grilled fish. It reminded me of the Filipino grilled fish I grew up eating, so it had a comforting familiarity while still showcasing its own distinct Indonesian flavors. If you're looking for authentic Indonesian food or simply want to try something new, I highly recommend LaaLaaPan. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

    Laalaapan's nasi Padang tastes distinctly home-cooked. The rendang included some noticeably fatty…read morecuts of beef, which were enjoyable, although a little unorthodox for rendang. The balado wasn't spicy, but the sambal definitely was. I also missed having sambal ijo and some gulai gravy, both of which would have made the plate feel more complete. The bakwan jagung had a similarly homemade style. Depending on your preferences, it will either make you miss your mom's cooking or leave you craving a crispier, restaurant-style bakwan jagung packed with corn kernels. The soda gembira, like many Indonesian places here, use Sprite instead of club soda or plain soda water, which makes it far too sweet. The syrup they used tasted authentic, though. Overall, you may love this place specifically because the food tastes like something you grew up eating. However, if your preference leans more toward polished, restaurant-style Indonesian food, it may feel a little underwhelming.

    Finally made it into the Sherman Oaks outpost of Sincerely Syria, a small chain of Shawarma…read morerestaurants in SoCal. I was pleasantly greeted by the owners, a friendly middle-aged couple who exude experience making this kind of street food from Damascus. It's a no frills venue with a good number of tables, clean bathrooms, and an array of Banksy prints lining the walls. The menu is small. You could even say it's micro, with just 3 items: Chicken Shawarma, a combination Beef/Lamb Shawarma, and Falafel. These are served in wraps of 2 different sizes or on a "platter" that is really a wrap sliced into pieces (like a sushi roll) and presented with French Fries. Canned sodas are available, along with a small selection of desserts and Middle-Eastern Pickles. I chose the Beef/Lamb Shawarma Wrap, and opted for the 6" size, which was plenty of food for lunch. The flatbread is lined with the meat, then adorned with tomatoes, onions, fresh parsley and Tahini. Finally, they warm the wrap on the flattop, which gives a nice crisp to the outside of the bread while further warming the fillings. The result is a nicely heated Syrian sandwich that's full of flavor and very satisfying. The tahini is creamy, with a touch of grit from the ground sesame that adds a pleasing texture to the chew. The meat is tasty and tender, having been marinated in a blend of Mediterranean seasonings before being slow-cooked on the upright spit, which leaves the meat charred on the outside, juicy on the inside. I love an extra pop of heat on wraps like these, and the house hot sauce did not disappoint. It took just a drop of the fiery relish to add a serious jolt to the bite, and I really appreciated the way it elevated the experience. Pickles were appropriately flavored, but very mild; I'd prefer them to have a more aggressive flavor profile, but this is just a minor complaint. So yes, Sincerely Syria is serving top notch, very satisfying Shawarma, and I look forward to heading back in before too long to try the chicken or Falafel, and to seeing this lovely couple again. They're nice people, so you can feel very good about giving them your support.
