    Friend of mine just left the place and many people claimed about the food being ice cold. Food was given back to the workers and they placed the food that was given back rihht into the serving tray. When the next customer announced that she did not want the food that was placed back the server stated someone else may want it. This place is disgusting.

    Omg they have a great variety of dishes buffet style. What a fantastic helping for an affordable price. Nice and clean environment with lots of choices. Delicious too

    This is your typical American style fast food ready to eat Chinese food. Its like Panda Express but I don't support corporate restaurants and I'd rather support the mom & pop restaurants. I ordered the two combo plate with Kung Pao chicken, Orange Chicken, with noodles and rice - oh so good.

    Ok sooo Firstly the women rudely shook her plate in order to rush me on choosing something when I had just approached the window. Not only that but when I did pick I was told I would have to wait an additional few minutes because the meat hadn't been added to the broccoli "So what did you rush me for?!" She rolled her eyes at me and multiple other customers Was also rude to another customer who simply asked for soy sauce... Most of the tables hadn't been cleaned -To top it off my food was less than flattering but you get what you pay for here literally. Rice was gummy egg rolls tasted old and the chicken kebab was yuck super hard...the only thing done close to right was the chow main.

    I order through DoorDash for my friend and they are pretty accurate. I haven't had any issues with them right now.

    This place is a Los Angeles legend…read more It's not even about giving it five stars--it's about telling people that if you want to try one of the best burgers in Los Angeles, this is a spot you absolutely need to visit. The food is outstanding, the portions are generous, and the burgers live up to the hype. What makes it even better is that you're not just getting a great meal; you're experiencing a piece of Los Angeles history. Places like this are becoming rare, and Hawkins House of Burgers has earned its legendary status. If you're a local and haven't been here yet, you're missing out. And if you're visiting Los Angeles, put this place on your list.

If you are wanting a better tasting burger with pretty much thr same ingredients, I would suggest The Shack in Playa Del Rey. The fries here got soggy because of how they put them in the bag. It's unfortunate that there is no where to sit and that's why the fries get soggy. Let's now talk about the process. They accidentally messed my order by missing fries. Not the end of the world but in order for them to correct their mistake, I had to take all the food they put in the bag and give it back to them. That means while I waited over 25 minutes for my order, I had to wait longer for them to see what's in the bag to see the mistake. Who is to say that if I was crooked, I would simply remove the fries from the bag. What this ultimately means is that now my family is eating colder food. I didn't even bother for the fries anymore since I didn't want to either have my food get colder or wait another 20 minutes for them to remake all the food. I simply wouldn't go back. I do hope they stay around because we are losing small business but the owners should really reconsider the policy for missing food.

    Okay, here's the scoop. For over the last three years, my family and I have been passing by Jim…read moreDandy. Each time we passed by, it seemed like they were closed and or never answered their phone when we called to see if they were open. We kept telling each other one day we're going to stop by and see if they actually are open. So on Friday after exiting the freeway I made my way to Jim Dandy and saw folks going in and coming out. This location is in the middle of the hood. They have bulletproof windows once inside and this location is order and pickup, no dining available. I didn't see the menu until I was done with ordering. Which made it hard for myself. I seen the menu after I ordered. I walked out with 12 pieces of chicken regular not spicy. Corn fritters, macaroni salad, peach cobbler and a banana pudding. Once home we set up our table and began to devour our food. We were blown away with the chicken it is better than most places we have been to not saying any names. The pieces of chicken were huge fresh and crispy. The macaroni salad was just right amount of mayo and seasoning. The peach cobbler was wrapped perfectly not damaging the crust. The banana pudding was a little watery not sure if that was due to the heat going on in the bag as everything was bagged together. I immediately put it in refrigerator so it could get cold and become solid than running. I have no idea what there hours are next time I go in I'll ask or look for signs. There is plenty parking not that folks stay long. Food seems to come out in a timely manner. So parking comes and goes. I cannot wait to try there dirty rice and corn fritters without the powder sugar. I didn't get a photo of them as they got devoured.

    Came out to LA for work and was craving some fried chicken. I was planning to hit my usual spot,…read morebut I passed by this place, looked it up, and decided to give it a try--glad I did. What a great find. It's a counter-order, takeout-style spot, which was no problem at all. The service was solid. The guy who took my order also handled putting everything together, and you can tell when someone's on it--nothing was missing and everything came out right. I ordered a 3-piece, and it definitely hit the spot. The chicken was flavorful and satisfying, and the onion rings were just as good--crispy and delicious. I got there a little late, and it felt like a true local spot. Everyone was relaxed, just there for some really good fried chicken. No hype--just good food.

    Banana pudding has banana slices and vanilla wafers in the pudding. I wish California had more places that sold this.
