    Stopped by for some of the often talked about chicken in k-town. I avoided this place because the price point was very intimidating, especially if you have an empty stomach. Once I walked in, there was 2 people waiting, I was never greeted, nobody came out to provide instructions on how to order. I just had to use my brain, tap on the dim lit screen and order. I did have questions about flavor options, but since nobody came out to greet, or assist, after 10 mins of deciding, I picked two flavors. I ordered the 8 piece original spicy and the 8 piece soy garlic. While there was only 2 people waiting for their orders, I still had to wait 30 mins for my order. The location is rather small as there is no option to order in. Parking is pretty skim and tight as it's located in a plaza with other stores. To be honest, the wings were fairly large so you get big chicken wings, but the food was ultimately overhyped as the flavor components were off. The original spicy was a tad spicy but not enough for a spicy chicken lover and the seasoning was lacking. Soy garlic was very garlicy (which I like) but again, seasoning was non existent. The chicken was fresh, crunchy, but for that price ($18 per order) I was expecting more.

    My mom ordered 2 different orders. One for half and half only. The second one, for half and half AND honey garlic wings. The cashier working there insisted that no items were missing and sent my mom away????? Y'all better be refunding that missing item asap.

    Do Not go to this location! Trust the reviews and the ratings! We ordered our food at 7:42 and it said it'd be ready by 8:15. When we get there at 8:15 to pick up our order the worker looks at me like they havent even started our order. He said it would take 10 mins. 10 mins past and not ready still. We don't get our order till 8:30. But that's not the worst part... We get home and my gf takes a bite out of the chicken only to find a LONG STRAND OF HAIR EMBEDDED INTO THE CHICKEN! It was as if the hair was mixed in the batter and fried into the skin! We immediately felt grossed out. The chicken itself was bland and tasted way off compared to any other location we've been to. If you want bb.q chicken, do yourself a favor and go to other locations please. The reviews here justify the rating of this location.

    Put in an order at 5pm and it said to pick up by 5:45. Now, obviously it's World Cup, so I get there's back orders, but this place was so disorganized and unprofessional. Man in pink was the manager. I asked him if my order even went thru after waiting until 6:10, he said yes and to wait 10-15 more minute. Nothing. He wouldn't let anyone cancel orders and when asked, he said we need to ask DoorDash or uber or whatever service we used. I ordered on their website which is powered by DoorDash but there was no option to even cancel order only option was to call the store wtf is that going to do??? I kept waiting and when I confronted him he laughed at my face and said he never said it'd be ready in 10-15 minutes. I waited until 7:30 and left and missed the whole game with NO FOOD. I ordered 200+ dollars of food btw. Just be honest if it's not going to be ready and let people cancel the order or shut off mobile order if you can't handle it. He wouldn't even let me cancel the order when he hadn't even started working on the meal wtf??? Why promise a time if you can't meet it? I felt terrible for the customers but even worse for the workers. Horrible. It felt scummy, scammy, and dishonest. I get its World Cup busy but it was beyond just that. The way everything was handled was horrible and I wouldn't recommend even on a good day. There's better bbq chickens to go to.

    Our food was supposed to be ready by 8:15, it was ready by 8:30. When we arrived the staff just started making our food. And unfortunately found a hair in my chicken

    WOW! The breading on these wings are elite! Perfect crunch, light and not too oily, and juicy chicken. They have some great flavors. My favorite were definitely the boneless honey garlic! The Secret Sauce Boneless and Spicy Galbi Wings were also good. The waffle fries tasted great and pickled radish were also tasty but definitely an acquired taste. We ordered through UberEats and the order came in a timely manner, was accurate and still warm upon arrival. I will say the only reason I won't be rushing to order again is the prices are just too high. I wish they had their lunch combos on UberEats!

    Barely opened ranch.

    If I'm paying for ranch, I expect yall not to be stingy. WHAT IS THIS?? Please do better. I don't mind paying for ranch but $2 for a side of ranch & I only get 2 ounces??

    It's supposed to be ChiChi fries.  Chi Chi Fries not found.

I ordered the chicken strips with fries, while my partner ordered a two-piece chicken dinner with macaroni salad and spicy rice. Although we had to wait a little while for the food, it arrived hot. We both agreed that it was some of the best fast-food fried chicken we had ever eaten. The chicken was moist and the batter was crispy. My fries were good, and my partner's macaroni salad and spicy rice were both flavorful. We especially loved the biscuit. I also couldn't help noticing that although the dining room feels like something of a relic, it is very well maintained. There were no dirty tables and no trash on the floor. I was genuinely shocked when the cashier came out to ask how everything was and whether we needed anything else. Most fast-food chains seem determined to eliminate as much human interaction as possible. Pioneer Chicken was a refreshing reminder that fast food can still be friendly, clean and satisfying. Pioneer Chicken is a winner in my book!

The tenders had a soft interior with a very crispy, smoky and vibrant outer surface. One of the tastiest Nashville hot chicken we've had. The spiced potato wedges were wonderfully seasoned, and they were crispy as well. Menu: The menu looks simple with the tenders being the main items. They can be made into a sandwich, taco or on a salad. They also serve wings, loaded fries, and French toast. Service: Although the tenders took some time, the orders were delayed by about 20-25 minutes because of insufficient staff for on a holiday. Given this hot and humid day, with the air conditioning broken and the outside fan not operational, the overall experience proved was just average. The employee was exceptionally kind and offered us additional ranch containers for free, lol. Will definitely comeback to this place when the air conditioning works or will try the other location. Parking: Downtown LA is not free. There are parking lots almost in every block ranging from $12 to $15 (as of September 2026).

The kind of spot where you walk in and immediately think, Yep... this is where you bring someone you're trying to impress. The ambience hits that perfect balance of modern, moody, and stylish, a little sexy, a little artsy, and fully date‑night certified. Service was on point the entire night, for my experience, maybe cause they know I was was going to tip very heavily. Ha ha ha. Which ai did by the way! Staff was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious. The team here knows the menu inside and out, and they guide you like they're curating an experience rather than just taking an order. Drinks topped off, plates cleared smoothly, pacing perfect. High‑end feel without the high‑end attitude. Let's talk about the food. Filipino Fusion Done With Swagger Ribeye Salpicao, This dish is straight-up dangerous. Tender ribeye cubes seared with garlicky, buttery goodness, the kind of salpicao that makes you rethink every bite you have. Rich, savory, and addicting. If you don't guard your plate, someone at the table will steal a piece. "Because I know I would!" Rockfish Pritong, it was crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and seasoned like someone's Filipino auntie whispered the secrets of life into the batter. Bright, punchy flavors with that perfect crunch. Definitely a sleeper hit. Crispy Duck Pancit, This one is wild, pancit with a crispy duck twist that somehow feels both comforting and elevated. The noodles soak up all that savory duck richness, and the crispy skin on top. Wow, a moment of silence for how good that bite is. Papaya Salad, so fresh, bright, and refreshing. A perfect palate reset between the heavier dishes. Crunchy, citrusy, and balanced, the kind of salad that actually earns its spot on the table. Grilled Eggplant Salad, smoky, silky eggplant with a char that tastes like it came straight off a backyard grill in Manila. Light but flavorful, and a great contrast to the richer plates. Pasta Palabok, a true Filipino classic reimagined. Creamy, savory palabok sauce wrapped around pasta instead of noodles, bold move, but it works. The textures are luxurious, and the flavors stay true to the original. Tare Tare Tamale, definitely one of the most creative dishes of the night. A fusion tamale with tare flavors that hit sweet, salty, and umami all at once. Soft masa, rich filling, and a flavor combo that makes you pause mid‑bite. "Mmmm hmmm!" Hamachi, so clean, fresh, and beautifully plated. The kind of hamachi that melts instantly and makes you feel fancy even if you're wearing sneakers. Of course I had my dress shoes on. It has bright citrus notes and just the right amount of heat. Sampa nails the high‑end, artsy vibe without feeling stiff. Trendy lighting, modern décor, and a soundtrack that keeps the energy fun. Perfect for date night, anniversaries, or when you want to look like you know the cool spots in LA. Sampa is Filipino fusion with confidence, bold flavors, gorgeous plating, and an atmosphere that elevates the whole night. If you're trying to impress your significant other, celebrate something special, or just treat yourself to a killer meal in the Arts District, this place delivers. "Always remember the energy you give ...is the energy you receive. One bite at a time! " Miguel C.

Bucatini and rigatoni are also so yummy. We can't decide the winner. Bucatini is spicy. Rigatoni is milky and buttery... so you decide. Grilled escabeche white fish: the fish is moist with crispy skin. Ribeye is melt in my mouth. For desert, panna cotta is a.perfect ending of a beautiful dinner. Every dish.is beautifully presented. The service is impeccable. There is paid parking across from the restaurant for $10. It is probably one of the best meal we had this year.
