Al's Hot Chicken - Combo #4 Two Waffles & Two Tenders - Halal Near Me - San Fernando Valley, California

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. read more

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 read more

Im here all the time! i love the als loaded fries! flavor never fails and everyones super nice, and place is clean! definitely recommend!

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. read more

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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We walked in and there was one customer. There was no music playing, dead silent.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We waited a bit and walked over to an empty table. The fact that it was so quiet, you could hear everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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 read more

Didn't have time to prepare my own lunch today, I work at the Kaiser right next door and decided to try this spot out. I ordered the #1 combo which came with the chicken sandwich and fries. Both were on point. Chicken was nice and crispy with the tight amount of heat and the crinkle cut fries were seasoned perfectly. Will forget to prepare my lunch soon enough and stop by Al's again. Also, the gentleman behind the counter taking my order, I didn't catch his name, but he was a chill dude. Very helpful! read more

Fist time here was very good and tasty staff is great and service was great help me pick out what I wanted to eat

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! read more

This is one of those fun things in LA where you're like why do these things to together? Ok great let's do this. Al's Hot Chicken has Nashville style hot chicken, with Halal options. Why? Let's eat! The hot is pretty strong but I'd def come back to try some of the hotter options they can get pretty daring up there. I didn't find the hot to be like, straight buffalo sauce hot or anything crazy. I'm only taking a star away because the flavor was good but not amazing, but I am willing to revisit. If you're worried about safety I'll also acknowledge the parking lot was a little weird. read more

Wow! Well seasoned, perfectly cooked tenders which comes with an assortment of dipping sauces. My favorite was definitely the honey sauce! The crunchy pickles that accompanied the tenders completed the entire meal itself! Very interesting but delicious seasoning sprinkled all over on the crispy golden fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good service, chill ambience, Amazing food![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What more could you ask for. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Craved for a chicken sandwich and saw this small restaurant while driving in the valley. My wife and I tried the sandwich, tenders and fries. Chicken is crispy and delicious. Not dry. Numerous levels of spiciness. I tried mild and for me it's already flaming hot . . I'm also just a lightweight in eating chili. Fries is Cajun style. I like it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is clean and the owner is truly accommodating and a service-oriented guy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will definitely come back and try their other stuff. read more

First time trying Als, food was mediocre because it was missing flavor. Service was good and he was nice and I'd have to say the best thing I had was their waffles. I just wish it came with real syrup imitation and not imitation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is mediocre as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Could use touch ups on the walls but overall was clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Al's Hot Chicken - 1 Slider - Halal Near Me - San Fernando Valley, California

I tried Al's for the first time yesterday and to be honest it was alright. The sliders and tenders were tasty . I had the xtra hot and let me tell you if you can't handle hot don't even try it. They also have LAs hottest sauce which you have to sign a waiver for. The Mac and cheese and the fries and the coleslaw had absolutely no flavor. The sandwiches were alright. But what will make me come back was the service and absolute hospitality that I saw and experienced there yesterday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is kind hard to say I always drove by everyday and I never seem to see anyone in there I hope that changes because the owner was really cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you for the experience guys good luck. read more

The flavor wasn't really that great and for the prices you get very little to eat. Also, we asked how hot hot was and they had suggested medium so that was what we ordered however, we barely tasted any spice. I don't think the chicken was anything very interesting and it wasn't juicy and it wasn't that flavorful. I don't think I will go back here at least not at the price as they charge. read more

This was very disappointing to say the least. My boyfriend got food from here to try it considering there were so many great reviews and it was a 5 minute drive from our house. He came home and we tried everything until we realized we just wasted our money. $50 spent on 2 chicken tender plates, 1 waffle and 1 Mac n cheese and NONE of it was edible... the chicken was BURNT, super dry and paper thin. The fries were soggy and bland. The mac n cheese was either stale or just undercooked. The waffle was cold and artificial that when I took ONE bite hoping for something good to come out of it the I ended up chewing the sugar crystals that are in it. If it wasn't already closed we would've brought all of it back and asked for a refund. read more

My son and I frequent Als for the spicy and tender chicken sandwiches. The chicken salad is a unique option that you don't find at other Nashville chicken joints. The salad uses fresh red romaine and looks life arugula. The gentleman at the counter always recognizes us.... The friendliness is unexpected and for that I'm pretty loyal. Give Al a try. read more

Overall great experience. Easy parking right in front. Great service. Sparkling clean restaurant. And the food was so good! Tenders were so juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside and so flavorful. Sandwich was great. Fries were perfect. All 3 dipping sauces were excellent. I would say the honey dipping sauce was our favorite. Highly recommend this place & will definitely return. Great job Al's!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The overall store decor is super vibrant and inviting so dine-in is a great experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My family and I got the loaded mac n cheese bowl and the combo #4 and loved both! Chicken itself is great--super fresh, tender and juicy. The waffles were also nice and light. The staff are amazing--very kind and generous people.

what can i say about al's hot chicken? ya know at first i thought it was gonna be another regular chicken joint. Thats why i was hesitant to give it a try.But my daughter and i decided to give it a shot. One of the best decisions Ive ever made. From the delicious chicken seasoning they use for the chicken to the sauces, you cant go wrong with Al's its my daughters favorite chicken joint and definitely one of my favs as well! And dont get me started on the staff!! They are the ones that make Al's so beautiful! read more

This place is so delicious, oh my goodness. Whoever gave this place a bad review really doesn't know what good food is. The chicken was juicy and not overcooked. The spices were warm and delicious.

I was in the area and craving a chicken sandwich, and this place fulfilled my cravings! I got the combo 1 which includes a chicken sandwich and fries with a side of loaded mac & cheese. I also liked how I could pick my spice level because I don't have the highest spice tolerance. The chicken was freshly made, crispy but juicy, and the seasonings paired well with the cole slaw. The mac and cheese was also super good and the name doesn't disappointed. Every bite was packed with either fries or chicken on top of eating the mac and cheese. The staff was super friendly and helpful and made sure that all me questions were answered! On top of that, I didn't have to wait long for my food to come out either! The restaurant has cute interior and is very clean as well. I will definitely be coming back here to try their waffle sandwich, which I saw someone else order. read more

Al's Hot Chicken - Halal Near Me - San Fernando Valley, California

Decided to try some new hot chicken as Hawaiian and Main Chick have been a little inconsistent lately. Wife and I both ordered the # 3 hers with Mac and cheese mine with fries. When ordering, the website lists #3 as 3 tenders and fries while the description says 2 tenders. So had to order another tender. Received the food and noticed the tenders were much smaller than other places. #3 did come with 3 tenders. They only provided one small sauce with each meal. More sauces are needed and should be provided. No utensils were in the bag. The chicken was crunchy and well spiced. The dipping sauce was good but needed at least 2 more servings. The fries were mediocre to terrible. They did not fry them or season them enough. I would suggest upgrading your fries to Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was decent, very peppery with a good cheese taste. Overall I thought the food was good but could have been much better. I will keep this on the list to go to but does not supplant the two main hot chicken places.... just wanted a little bit more. read more
