Great fried Chicken place. We tried a couple of things there and their spicy fried chicken is the best there. Delicious batter and juicy meat. The New Orleans wings were alright. Not the best flavor and smaller than the fried wings. The fries were soggy and the flavor was lacking. The wraps are big and juicy. Great bang for your buck. If you come here definitely get the Spicy Fried Wings, The Wraps, or the chicken burgers!
Delicious! The popcorn chicken was perfectly crispy without being dry or oily. Plus, huge portion size for the "side dish" of popcorn chicken and at a great price. I ate it as my meal and it was filling with the curly fries. Fries taste like Arby's curly fries which I love. Flavorful and crispy. There was also a lot of fries! One order of fries was perfect for 2 people. Plus, I like dry rubs, so I got the seaweed seasoning on the fries. It was so good, I love the blend of asian flavors here given the location of the store is in a fairly asian dominant area.
Stopped by for lunch and got it to go! As of last month I paid $17.65 for the meal combo with crispy chicken on bun (dark meat), sub for curly fries, and a soda. I really liked it! The chicken sandwich was super juicy like I was so impressed? And the sauce and toppings that they give you just make it a satisfying bite. Not like other places where it's like bread + meat + tiny bit of spread + iceberg lettuce unless you add a bunch of toppings. Here they actually make it worth your while. The curly fries also really hit the spot and are seasoned thoroughly. Not sure if they make it in house but I'm not complaining. I wish it was packed separately though so the fries stayed crispy. The steam of everything in one box kinda made them soft. Unpictured is the giant cup of soda that you fill up yourself and something greasy like this just alwayssss pairs so well with soda. Just get the combo it's so worth. They do take awhile to bring out your food (I'm sure since it's made to order) so I'll probably order ahead next time. Just factor that in if you're trying to get it on your lunch break!
I came placed order on kiosk. And wow!!!! Mind blown.. the waffle fries are so good and the sandwich so crispy . I was craving mozzarella sticks. Bomb!!!! Is chill inside.
Good chicken spot for a quick bite. Had the chicken sandwhich meal and it was delicious. My girlfriend had gotten the spicy wings and boy I tell you it made a grown man tear up. It was spicy... It also stayed hot throughout the time we were eating so the wings are spicy from the outside and hot from the inside. The ambiance wasn't anything special, seemed like a place to order Togo but it was still good regardless.
We were passing thru SGV and I craving a fried chicken sandwich but with an asian flavor twist. Not sure if this had it or not but it was still a good sandwich! We went late on a Friday night an hour before closing. We ordered at the counter though they also had self-help kiosks. I had the chicken sandwich and it was so juicy (cause I got dark meat) and dripping with flavor. I thought the batter had some Asian flavoring to it but my partner thought it was pretty basic. Either way, we both agreed it was good. My partner had the walnut shrimp burger. It felt slightly undercooked (there were some bit of grey) but it came with a lot of walnuts. It tasted good though--the parts we were sure were fully cooked that is. We also got onion rings as a side which we both liked. Overall it was good food but next time we may ask for the shrimp burger to be extra done if that's even an option (only reason this wasn't a 5 stars experience). The store itself was well-lit, clean, and the staff was friendly. Parking was easy for us since it was late but I can see parking being an issue since they have no lot and there is a busy plaza across the way. FYI - The take out containers for the sandwiches are also super heavy duty. There is ample space for some steam to fill before it starts making the food soggy (we ate in the car so our food didn't get soggy). I applaud the heavy duty, paper containers--I assume they're better for the environment than plastic or styrofoam.
Are you craving a chicken sandwich, but not one from a mainstream fast food franchise? This describes why I decided to pick Chicken Bun Bun! I placed a pick up order and picked it up at around 6 pm. It wasn't busy in the store at the time, but I needed to wait a bit because the staff was in the back. For my order, I got the spicy chicken sandwich with a side of popcorn chicken. I thought the container designs were very creative and interesting! The popcorn chicken had a lot of flavor, it was juicy, and it paired well with the sauce. It also had a good crunch on the outside. The pieces were big and they were also generous with the amount. For the chicken sandwich, it was crispy, spicy, and didn't taste greasy. The coleslaw and the pickles were great additions to the sandwich. The bun selection was great, because it kept the sandwich together. As for the sauce, I did ask for it to be spicy. As someone that likes spicy food, I thought it was great and as expected. The ratio of the sauce was also a good amount.
I stopped by here in a Monday afternoon. They have an excellent chicken sandwich! I got the spicy version, white meat. Price was 9.99 (same price for dark meat). I waited about 5 minutes for the order. The sandwich was huge! Spice was flavorful with a good amount of kick. A couple of pickles and sauce inside the fluffy top bun. The filet breading was excellent . It had a real nice crisp to it and wasn't greasy at all. There were several pickup orders while I waited for my sandwich, so I assume they've got a website for order ahead. I'll try that next time. Plenty of parking along Main street, either at the curb or one of the various lots. Will definitely come back.
People that actually care about what they're serving and you can taste it. Popcorn chicken are quality whole pieces of chicken and they're made fresh to order. Batter is more like good Popeyes than Taiwanese popcorn chicken. I find myself craving this place. I saw another guy finishing eat one sandwich and got up immediately to order another so I guess I'm not the only one. Only about 4-5 tables but feels neat and orderly inside. Busiest weekday afternoons after the nearby high school lets their prisoners out.
This is such a disappointing place. The food weren't good, service was mediocre, and the place was so empty. We were searching for a quick lunch spot on Main St. and noticed this place so stopped by to check it out. Both of us ordered the Crispy Chicken On Bun combo. My friend got the french fries and I got the macaroni salad. The fries were so soggy and bland. The macaroni salad didn't tasted good. Only reason they got an extra star is because we both liked their signature crispy chicken on bun burger. It was packed with flavor and a good portion. Don't think we will come back here again. We weren't satisfied with our meals.
Ok the Spicy Chicken Bun Bun Sando is legit my top 5 all time. Was really surprised, its Taiwanese style, batter is super crispy, fresh and that spicy level caught me off guard. Comes with their sauce pickles and cabbage. Originally tried the location in Rowland Heights, which has closed now. Place is clean, with enough sitting. Staff was nice, not very talkative, which i have no quarrels with food is yummy. Pro-Tip: Sando is fried fresh, order ahead and save the wait.
My favorite fried chicken place. Their chicken sandwich is the best. Their spicy chicken wings are also amazing. Everything is made fresh so after you order there will be a bit of wait but it's worth. The meat is so juice and tender. It's my guilty pleasure.

This place HAD potential. Honestly is a catfish restaurant. They don't have a special "sauce" so their food is very bland and flavorless. The food comes very basic and with not much. If you are a ranch fan you'll understand their is a "good" ranch and an ok ranch, in this case that is the okay ranch Expect your food to come with nothing. They charge for EVERYTHING, pickles, tomatoes, peppers, anything that helps food taste better and less boring. With big competitors like Dave's, or chickF, offering all these small things included in the meal., they are setting themselves up for failure. I understand if you're charging for a premium tomato if your tomato is special. Did they grow it in the back with love and filtered water and organic dirt? No, nothing special so why charge for something so basic? I was surprised napkins were free! Now don't get me wrong, I'm no cheap-o it's just such a big inconvenience to have to think about your condiments when ordering food! Chicken was great and juicy though they did one thing right, :) but no flavor. I literally tasted the animal more than the salt in the chicken. No special drinks or any tea available. Sooo for the non soda or sugar drinkers you're out of luck! Menu is tiny on the Screen monitor in the wall so make sure to bring binoculars Oh also combos do not come with waffle fries,, they cat fish you with some regular fries which is a easy to miss mistake. COLESLAW; not much flavor feels like they added milk onto coleslaw soooo I don't suggest Good one time try for the adventure but let's move on :) read more
Gotta admit, one of the main reasons I wanted to try this place out is the fun name. That & it being so close by. Glad it all worked out since it's a pretty solid chicken sandwich that'd I'd order again. ITEM'S ORDERED: Spicy Chicken on Bun TASTE: I know this is not a Nashville style chicken sandwich, but in general I'd say it's basically a very mild version of the more hot Nashville hot sandwich that you might get at say, Main Chick. Sandwich is made up of a generously sized chicken breast, slaw, some type of seasoned mayo sauce & pickles. There's quite a heavy amount of mayo, but it actually does work with bringing that savory as well as slight sweet flavor. The spice level of the chicken is not intense & you won't find yourself suffering. I like spicy foods so I would prefer a little more spice, but this more mild heat does allow you to eat though the sandwich without having your mouth on fire. I wouldn't call the chicken dry really, but it could just be a little bit more tender & a little more crisp for me. I did ask for some hot sauce on the side which is more heavy on the vinegar side. Using it lightly on the sandwich does work though as an element to somewhat cut through the heaviness. Sandwich was assembled well & looked very presentable upon opening the box. SERVICE: I called in to pick the sandwich up on my way home on an early Sunday evening. I was surprised they don't have an online ordering option like most places these days. The cashier was friendly enough with no problems. They've got their branding on point with the attractive takeout bag & box. LOCATION & PARKING: They are located right on Main St, which sometimes makes parking tricky. I found a spot right out front which is 2 hour parking (8am - 5pm). Inside is pretty basic but all very new looking as it should be for a quite new business. There's 4 tables to the right side with half booth seating. I'm very much open to coming back here to try out that walnut shrimp sandwich & of course some fries. read more
When you walk in, the ambiance reminds me of a McDonald's so I kept my expectations at bay. I tried the sick spicy chicken sandwich and was pleasantly surprised at how well they put the sandwich together. It's certainly no howlin ray's but it hits the spot if you need a quick chicken sandwich fix. For $9, I was surprised at how big the white meat patty was and was full off of it. read more

You're not going to end up with some small chicken wing size sandwich at this new restaurant. The spicy chicken sandwich was very big and juicy deliciousness. Many of these new spicy chicken restaurants advertise that it's very spicy hot reaper level and they are not, especially for people like me who can handle chili heat. The one thing I would change is a more flavorful coleslaw that's added to the sandwich and a few more pickles for a perfect delight. The fries were good but nothing over the top. read more

Solid 4 stars! Happy to see another chicken sandwich place pop up in the area. FOOD (4.5/5): I ordered the Crispy Chicken On Bun, which is their basic fried chicken sandwich (non-spicy). The sandwich consisted of classic brioche buns, a massive piece of crispy fried chicken, pickles, coleslaw, and a mayo/sour cream based sauce. The sandwich was barely warm when I got it, but the brioche was still nice and soft. I was worried that the inside of the chicken would be dry because of how big it was, but every bite was consistently juicy & tender. The pickles and coleslaw were not overly intense in flavor; they provided just enough tang and texture to complement the chicken. Personally, I liked that the chicken sandwich was NOT greasy at all, though I would've wanted the chicken to be crispier. After eating half of the massive sandwich, the flavor was slightly lacking & redundant (I suspect the spicy version adds the necessary kick that it's missing). PRICE (3.75/5): The price is a little steep at $7.99 ($8.81 after tax), but the massive size almost makes up for it. WAIT (3.5/5): I waited ~20 minutes for my sandwich on a Sunday at 11 AM (right when they opened). Maybe it was still early, but the other customers waited quite a while for their orders as well. LOCATION (4/5): It is located in a very unassuming & unpopulated building, but the street itself is very busy & popular. Plenty of free parking lots & structures within walking distance. Overall, I think this place is worth a try! Everyone likes their chicken sandwiches in a different way, but I think this is a very solid place. read more

This place was recommend a friend we came here for lunch and the place is not my cup of tea. They have a tea bar but it is nothing special for the additional cost. Spending 15.00 for lunch is on the high side for me. The brioche bread did taste as fresh or recited like it was fresh. The chicken is big and thick but they give you two little pickles. The hot was hot but not tasty in flavor just HOT. The onion rings are a packaged one they just fry I like home made ones. Try it once and see if you like it. It's not close to my woke or home. I wouldn't travel here to get the sandwich. read more

I was curious about Chicken Bun Bun since it was brand new so I decided to try it and it did not disappoint. I'm not gonna lie, this might be one of the best chicken sandwich I've tried. I got the Spicy Chicken Sandwich and it was so delicious; the sandwich was huge, the bun was soft, the batter was crispy but not hard and the chicken itself was very soft and juicy. I highly recommend this place for your chicken sandwich fix! The workers were very nice also! read more

WOW, just wow. I have had a lot of chicken sandwiches throughout the US and this one tops it all! I ordered it as takeout and thought it would be a bit soggy by the time it got to my house, but I was pleasantly surprised. The best chicken sandwich I've ever had, I completely inhaled it within a couple minutes. Their French fries are great and their popcorn chicken was also the best I've ever had! read more

Been anxiously awaiting the arrival of this new restaurant! We ordered the regular crispy chicken on bun, spicy chicken on bun, and waffle fries! Order took about 10 minutes to make. Luckily we live super close so it was still nice and hot when we got home to eat it. Crispy Chicken on Bun: wow these sandwiches are massive! I had to squish it down so I could bite it. Chicken is super crispy and juicy! A good amount of cabbage slaw, sauce, and pickles. A very solid sandwich! I would say it's missing a tiny bit of flavor...maybe a mild spice to kick it up or if the chicken was cooked in a pickled marinade...I felt like it needed a bit of something. Still a really good sandwich regardless. Spicy Chicken on Bun: I took a bite from my bf's sandwich and wow the spice really packs a punch! Definitely too spicy for me to consume an entire sandwich. It was perfect for him as it was really spicy but not overpowering to the point where he can't enjoy it (which was a problem he had with Howlin Ray's Hot spice level) Waffle fries: super hot and crispy and not too oily. On point! Will definitely come back to try more items like the walnut shrimp bun! Glad to have a new addition to downtown Alhambra! read more

The spicy chicken sandwich was an unfortunate disappointment. The bun was cold to the touch and the chicken was overly breaded and served at room temperature. The spiciness seems to be missing. The popcorn chicken was slightly warmer and more tender. Lacked seasoning or flavor so it definitely needs some sauce. The wrap was the warmest of the 3, so it was pretty evident these were done in sequence before being brought out to the table. The fries were room temp and bland to taste. read more

Arrived here around 12:20pm during lunch time. Quite busy during this hour, expect a small line and wait time for orders. Location is small and great for small groups! Got the Spicy Chicken on Bun with white meat and it was amazing! Chicken was not very spicy (feels very mild). Bun was perfect and buttery. Waffle Fries was very delicious and is best to eat it while hot and fresh! read more

One of my good friends recommended me to this restaurant because they really liked it, so we came. After we ordered the food, it took about 25 mins for it to come out, despite there being one more table asides from my family at the time. You would think after taking so long, the food would be hot and fresh. If you thought so, sorry to disappoint, the food was lukewarm. The worse part is, the food was obviously not clean. Our family has had diarrhea for the last hour and half. I would have way more preferred to have spent $80 on something else, instead of this bullcrap. read more

The kiosk is awful, don't use it unless you want your order delayed or lost in the sea of counter orders. The tenders we tried the first time were mediocre unfortunately, maybe its just not my taste since a lot of people seem to like em. However, the asian chicken wrap was really good, along with the popcorn chicken and curly fries. 3 stars for the wrap and fries, -2 for customer service(didn't assemble the order till I got up to ask how much longer it would take after almost 30 minutes) and for giving me a wrap with one tiny slice of cucumber and no lettuce or other veggies(scallions) at all lol. It is the second time we've had issues with orders so if you're easily annoyed by stuff like that bring your best patience and make sure you double check your order if its to-go. read more

Chicken joints be poppin up mad in the sgv, so you alrdy know this chick spot got hella competition. Easy and big parking in the rear and you can run up from the back end into the restaurant. Inside was p clean, nothin wild to point out. The restroom was p clean and bright too and a bonus was that the TP was soft asl.. like 3-ply.. Ok so the order.. ya boi dont rlly eat spicy...so the #1 combo was copped which comes w the OG chicken bun bun, fries, and a big ol drank. I asked the worker about the sauce in the burger and she said one of their ingredients was sour cream so i said nahhhh keep that on the side pls since ya boi picky asl.. yee then the homies sat at the table and the worker comes thru maybe like 15 min later w a cleannn GOLDEN tray of our meals. First thing we tried were the fries.. and lowkey.. they p soggy LOL.. I dont got a pic but theyre like medium sized crinkle cut fries w like mad black pepper on em. The flavor of the fries were fine.. i think.. just soggy asl T-T. But aii onto the burger.. I didn't know it came w pickles.. but all g.. just tossed em to the side.. so THE BURGER: the chicken was JUICY asl. Crispy on the outside and hella moist on the inside. P flavorful ngl, maybe a bit salty but not bad.. o yeah the buns were like sweet muffins on a sunday mornin.. p bussin.. BUT smth that I got lil disappointed on was the slaw.. bruhh the slaw is saucyyy. Rmbr when I asked about the sauce on the side??

Really good. The chicken was tender and juicy. The fries were fried extra crispy. Wait was a bit long, but its okay - it seems like they fry to order instead of having things sit in a heater. Beats all the fast food chicken sandwich places. The spicy made me tear up and drink a gallon of water. The spice will nip you twice - while youre eating, and the morning after. read more

Tuesday, 7:00PM. Ordered two spicy dark meat chicken in a bun and made them combos. Also ordered a side of popcorn chicken. The Good The sandwiches are on nice soft fluffy buns. The cold slaw is chunky with thick cut cabbage. The chicken is fairly big and spicy... not super spicy that it overtakes the taste of the chicken. The chicken is well fried, very crispy and very juicy. Oh, and be careful biting into the chicken when getting it fresh if the fryer, it's juices are very hot! The fries are also well fried and seasoned; thick crispy outside and inside fluffy. Popcorn chicken is lightly seasoned and also well fried. Crispy. Definitely tastes better when hot, temp hot. The Bad The sauce of the chicken is very light and dripping. Probably wouldn't have lasted awhile longer, ie. Delivery. Gotta eat it hot! The fries had chunks of salt every so often... Some people may like that, but not me. Want it nice and even coat. The Meh Popcorn chicken comes in one flavor... Wouldn't it be nice to be coated with the spicy batter. Price is just a hair in the uppity side. But I guess it's the location and newness is the business. Hope it goes down. Single size soda for $1.99. The Conclusion Price aside, the all chicken (the sandwich and the popcorn) is well fried; crispy and juicy. Would definitely try it again as a wrap next time or alone. Keep an eye on this joint, can be a nice expanding joint. read more
My friend was raving about how good this place was so I decided to grab some for take out for the both of us. Mind you I picked up my order maybe 10 minutes late, drove another 10 mins to my friend's and then another 10 mins until I finally took my first bite... And my sandwich was surprisingly STILL crispy and STILL juicy. Like um what, HOW?? I got the Spicy Chicken on Bun with dark meat (of course, how could you not) and it was amazing. Wasn't extremely spicy, more like medium but good enough to give me a good kick! Chicken was absolutely juicy and crispy after 30 minutes. read more

Amazing spicy chicken sandwich. If you are looking for a traditional Nashville spicy chicken sandwich, this is not the place for you. But if you're looking for an amazing chicken sandwich regardless of its roots, chicken bun bun is the place to be. You get to choose dark or white meat and my dark meat was so juicy. With the spice, I chose medium spicy and it had a good kick but it wasn't overpowering. Overall amazing chicken sandwich place will be coming back again read more
My husband had been here a few years ago and mentioned he likes it so we stopped by for a late dinner. They have a screen where you can order or you can go to the cashier as well. Nobody was at the front counter until the door finished closing and a bell rang. A gentleman asked what we would like to order. Menu is self explanatory , has pictures and is pretty big. We ordered a spicy chicken sandwich combo with waffle fries, chicken tenders with fries and a regular chicken sandwich. Everything was to go and we paid about $40. The only negative thing was when we asked for our cups, the employee who was cleaning with liquid and a cloth, grabbed our cups and stacked them with his gloves still on. Why would he think that's ok, the cleaning liquid on his gloves touched our cups. We asked for new cups and he gave them to us again with the gloves on u til my husband told him that was wrong, we don't want chemicals in our cups. Chicken was good, juicy yet very crispy. Everything was seasoned well and good portions. Next time I'll ask for extra sauce as they give you a small sauce for six tenders. read more
