    I stopped by this hot chicken place today to try their food since I was already getting something from the boba place next door. I placed my order through their website and got the first pickup time of the day. I got the Banging Plate that is two sandwiches and fries. I selected 1 mild and 1 medium for the spice level. I arrived right when the place open and there was enough parking since the plaza wasn't busy yet. The worker had trouble opening the door so we had to wait a little bit, there were other people waiting as well. All of the employees did not greet or acknowledge any of us while we were inside the store. I saw they had horchata drink here so I placed an order through their kiosk for a small one for my wife. My order was not ready until 10 minutes after my pickup time. The whole time waiting, none of the workers interacted with any of the guest or stayed behind the counter. So it was an awkward waiting experience especially after more guest came in. The parking lot was packed when I left. The hot chicken was okay, the bread was not my favorite and the the ratio of the bread to chicken is not balance. There more bread, so it just depends on the person. The fries were more soggy so it wasn't that good but they give a good amount of it. I'm more of a fries person so it wasn't a pleasant experience. The price is different from their website until you place an order by a dollar. This place was alright to try once in my opinion.

    Parking is a small little plaza. There are some dine in seats but not a lot. I love how they have a combo with cheeseburger. The hot is pretty spicy actually. I love the agua frescas n variety of drinks. Horchata was bomb, highly recommend mango lemonade n strawberry lemonade. Service is quick.

    Great sandwiches. Love that you can customize the level of spiciness to your sandwich and it still tastes good. Been coming here for years now, and I've been a longtime fan. But thibgs are not the same. Their restaurant has changed their layout and looks kind of bland now, where it used to feel more lively. They had some good deals on Uber Eats, but again, they skimped on the deals as well. Before they used to have a buy 1 get 1 deal, and you would receive the same thing, same size, and everything, but the last time I ordered this deal, I received 2 items at half the size. Both my sandwiches looked like miniature versions of what I used to get, which was a huge disappointment. Normally I don't eat here as much as I used to; I feel like the quality has gone downhill, and it is obvious by their changes to their menu, the restaurant itself, and their online deals. Now if I do eat from here, I tend to order their banging fries, which come with fries and chicken, and they taste pretty good. But to be honest, there are better chicken places out there, but it is not bad stopping by and checking it out for yourself if you're curious.

    Tender Plate- yum!

    Prob my fave hot chicken spot in the valley. Might be on par to Howlin' but it's been a minute since I've been there. Usually hot chicken spots tend to be too salty, but everything here was great. Got the tender plate which came out to $18+ total the Hot level and this provided just the perfect amount of spice (even for my dad who is a spice master lol). Fries were nicely seasoned, and had a slight crisp on the outside and a fluffy inside - yum! Tenders were juicy, truly "tender" and easy to break apart, and well marinaded! I could even eat it without the sauce. So good. Bangin' sauce was pretty dang good too but I only needed one of the two they provided. Even the bread was good - it's a thicker slice relative to other restaurants and it kinda reminds me of japanese milk bread uhuhuhu I like that they have a self order kiosk. At around 12PM on a Tuesday, there was no one working the register. Parking lot is kinda tight. Would def come back.

    I know you're located in North Hollywood but my question is why aren't you in Hollywood . First time trying you out and love you guys. Slider was perfect the coleslaw wasn't to dry or to wet just right. The chicken was perfect eventually . I also forgot to mention I order mild it actually lives up to mild the tender was great. I have to go in person in location they brought the food to me I gave you a four star which isn't your fault . I can't give you a five if I didn't experience the ambience

    The pictures lured me in and I was very happy it did. We enjoyed the hot banging chicken tenders and seasoned fries with the banging fries. Everything was flavorful. Food came out really fast and staff were really friendly.

    10 out of 10 I'm pretty hard on hot chicken.... This is the spot 100% Juan diego was awesome, helped me figure out spice level. Had a beer while waiting! Smash burger chicken sandwich combo is where it's at!

    First time and I will definitely be back. I placed my order after I took 1 fry off my brothers order. I got out of my car and walked straight in lol. If you have good fries I am sold. Cashier was so nice, place is very clean and they also have donuts so of course I got one, 8/10. I had the smash burger with the side of a chicken tender. I've had other smash burgers and I was not a big fan of them. Bangin buns though 10/10, just a simple smash burger, no extra sauces or anything. My family loves their chicken and they rate it a 10/10

    Tender Plate

    Overall not a bad experience. The interior is simple and more open than most places so you don't feel cramped. I ordered from a tablet at the counter and the menu had option like sandwiches, tenders, fry bowls, and a smash burger. The food looks great but I must say that it lacks a bit in seasoning. The fries have good texture but lean more on the dry side. The fried chicken on the other hand is cooked very well but the breading is more akin to KFC's original recipe instead of crunchy. If they improved the seasoning and make the batter more crunchy then this would be more like a 5 star. Service was friendly and they brought my order to me. I'd say give this place a shot!

    Food is good, service is fast, ambiance is clean and have plenty of seats! Love the convenience of this place and how good the food and affordable. The cashier is very attentive and nice. Would come back for my late night cheap eats and try the other options on the menu.

    Haven't even heard of this place but couldn't believe how many reviews this place has!! We recently ate at the buffet across the street from this spot and this is how we spotted it so we decided to come try it a week later since this is kind of not in our territory. Parking lot is another one of those weird, squishy ones. Idk what it is about hot chicken places but all of their parking is awful!! I basically almost got blocked in because parking was so weird and tight. We walked in, another guy walked in right after us and came from next door but he turned out to be another worker? Maybe the owner? We took a few minutes to check out the menu, first thing you notice is the really loud music (not good music either). We were finally ready to order so we walked up to the cashier. There were two girls and one guy from the kitchen and they were all just chatting away. They didn't even acknowledge us or welcome us when we walked in (other than the 1 guy who walked in after us). I could tell that the service wasn't going to be great and was worried about our order not being correct or good at all despite the crazy amount of reviews. We finally ordered after waiting a few minutes for them to "end their conversation". The place was empty by the way so idk if they just weren't paying attention and because the music being so loud, they didn't even hear us come in? Idk. Food came out rather quickly and we took it home to the family to enjoy. Super good, luckily! I'm a sucker for breakfast burritos and wish more hot chicken places did them so I appreciate this spot for having it as an option. Super soft chicken and the spice level is tolerable/on the lower end. I don't do spice at all so that's a lot coming from me lol. Overall pretty good and not sure when we'll be back after this.

    We tried Bangin Buns for the first time and everything was so good. We ordered the Mac & Fries plate and the Smash Burger + Sandwich meal. The mac & cheese was creamy, the fries were seasoned perfectly, they topped the meal with crispy chicken which went really well altogether, and the Smash Burger had that crispy, juicy bite. The chicken sandwich was a standout, super crispy, full of flavor, and it came with coleslaw inside the sandwich. I don't usually like coleslaw, but I tried it and it actually made the sandwich even better. So good! The strawberry and mango lemonade were both refreshing and lightly sweet, and the banana pudding was creamy and the perfect ending. Definitely coming back.

    Time...you need 30 mins to wait for your food and its 5pm on a monday. Most couple could break up coz of hunger before ur food arrives. For a chicken place, Wait time horrible. Need improvement if you want new customers. Plus if you dine in, you will be looking at a lot of grumpy Dasher drivers waiting for their delayed pickups.

I placed an online order through their website, and it quoted about a 25-minute prep time with a ready window around 2:56 -3:06 PM. I planned accordingly and even arrived earlier so I could pick it up fresh and avoid waiting. However, just five minutes after placing the order, I received a text saying it was already ready. That immediately raised a red flag, because if you're paying $13+ for a double burger, you expect it to be made closer to your arrival time, not immediately. When I arrived, the burger was already cold. When I brought this up, the employee I spoke with repeatedly said "it's not my fault" and pointed to someone else, instead of taking any ownership or even acknowledging the issue. It was a really poor way to handle a simple customer concern. Eventually, after some back and forth, the burger was remade, but I had to wait another 10-15 minutes. And ironically, it took longer to make it this time than it did after I placed the online order. But then now I wa stuck waiting defeating the whole purpose of ordering ahead. A manager eventually came over and was polite, but by that point the experience had already been frustrating. They also threw away the original burger instead of offering to let me keep it, which felt wasteful. On top of that, when I asked for a couple cups of water for my daughter, I was told I'd need to purchase a bottle, which felt pretty tone-deaf given the situation and didn't even think to offer me any anything for the misunderstanding and having to wait extra time now... The bigger issue here is the lack of coordination and communication. If you're going to quote customers a pickup time, especially for hot food, the order should be made accordingly--not immediately after it's placed. Otherwise, you're guaranteeing that the food won't be fresh when the customer arrives. Between the timing issue, the lack of ownership from staff, and the overall handling of the situation, this was a disappointing experience. I usually like the food, but the service and process today really need improvement.

When I inquired as to why this was, the lady at the counter told me "Oh, there's an upcharge for grilling the onions, as well as for the thousand island". Really? There's an upcharge to grill onions? The majority of charbroiled burger establishments in LA do not charge more for that unless onions don't already come on the burger, so to charge people more just for simply grilling them is ridiculous, and just a way for them to charge you more money, and like many of you, I am sick and tired of price gouging. I then asked if I could use the restroom to which I was told "there is no public restroom". Interesting, considering it's a PUBLIC establishment where you are encouraged to dine in. At that point, I almost said "You know what, that's not going to work then because I need to use the restroom quite badly", but by then I had already put in my order, unfortunately. Maybe they simply don't want people to dine in? Like, what burger joint doesn't provide their patrons with a PUBLIC restroom?! It was a first for me, anyway. The burger and fries were decent, but not worth the price once you figure in the upcharges. So, after tonight I don't think I'll be returning, unless they decide to provide their patrons with a restroom, and get rid of the all the ridiculous upcharges.
