    Fish and shrimp combo
    Phyllis R.

    Excellent customer service, I phoned in my order for the first time. The young lady was very nice and welcoming. So excited to eat, she had to call me back to determine what type of fish I wanted. Haven't had the red snapper in years so I tried the HUD City special came with two sides of your choice.

    Let me start by saying the staff was very nice and helpful. I have been seeing this restaurant and decided to support it today but, the food was not worth the price I paid 25 dollars minus the drink for 3 pieces of fish and two burnt chicken wings with no flavor. The 3 pieces of fillet sole looked like they cut a big piece and made it into 3 and I was suppose to receive two sides of fries and only served one side. I was happy to support but will not recommend, we have to do better.

    David took our order and let me tell you, this guy was super welcoming and friendly. I felt like a regular and this was my first time here! I ordered the special #1 which was three pieces of fish (I chose catfish) with two sides which were red beans and rice and collard greens. The fish and shrimp were cooked to perfection. Breading was light and crispy and nothing was greasy. Great flavors all around. This is the best fried fish I've had anywhere near here. I will be back!

    GOODNESS, I've had my eye on this place for a while and finally decided to stop by.. I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT. Literally some of the best cat fish I've had in a long while, hands down my new go to! I can't wait to stop by again!

    This is probably going to a part 1 of many for this review. The menu has such a variety of options from fish, chicken to sides. Parking can be a bit of a mess, but once you get it, it becomes worth it. David took my order and he was great to talk to. Catfish was good. Fresh and crispy. Honestly my favorite part of my order. Fried chicken was also very good.

    1st time cutomer & food was delish! Service was quick & friendly. I'll definitely be back to try something else!

Overall atmosphere was nice but it was very hot. I am giving it 3 star cause the service was great, the young lady was very nice and super helpful. It felt like she was the only one serving dine in, we saw 3 young men at the counter but only one of the young man came occasionally to help her with dine in. It seems like they had adequate staffing but it didn't seem like anybody wanted to help her, we felt bad. I hope management can help her out by having more people help her with dine in.

I recommend ordering the whole or half chickens so you get different cuts of meat. Personally, I enjoy thigh meat while my husband prefers breast or wings so it was easy for us to split the different cuts. We ordered two different halves one soy garlic and the other was red hot pepper. We both have pretty good spice tolerances and the spiciness of the red hot pepper was just on point. The chicken comes out freshly prepared so it's hot and crunchy. We ordered a side of the corn cheese which is a must for me anytime I get Korean fried chicken. They also give you sides of cabbage and pickled radish which I find provides a good palette cleanser through the meal. The meal was a bit pricy coming out to ~$60 for two people, but I also brought home 4 pieces for leftovers. This place would probably be considered more affordable if you came with a bigger group to you can split multiple orders.

Because it was from a DoorDash order so saying I had to request a stupid refund, what a total mess. Mo if you're reading this, I've been coming in here for the last five years. This is the worst out of all visits... I couldn't believe I had to have an attitude with your Manager, she was so incompetent in the situation and her best response is "I just work here" took absolutely no ownership in the situation, and was so uninterested on helping. She didn't know how to process an exchange and redo the order., and if your phone line was only working so I can call in to tell them to remove the onions, none of this would've happened, You should empower your staff and give them the authorization to do things when you're not around, so this kind of screw-up doesn't happen again. I'm irritated, This is not how I wanted to spend my weekend.

    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.

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.

If the feeling of "I don't want to be here" could be personified, it would look like Angel. Angel was turned around, I said hello and he turned around but didn't make eye contact but he had a mean scowl on his face. Angel said it'd be five minutes for us to be seated. I said cool. Angel walked away. A few other people pull up after we arrived and out of nowhere, another server by the name of Abram comes by and looks at the waiting list. Abram walks over to one of the couples that arrived after us and asks what name they had listed on the waiting list and then walks them over to sit them. A few moments later, Angel returns and tells Abram that we'd arrived first but Abram shrugged and then they started whispering amongst themselves. We continued to wait for about ten minutes while Abram just stands around being completely useless. Abram never said a single word to us. Not an apology for the delay. Not a single acknowledgement. Abram kept looking up at the ceiling, perhaps praying to a deity that we disappear and leave. We opted to make Abram's prayer come true by leaving. Based on the tacky signage posted, it's easy to see why this has such a low rating. Avoid.

Was able to try a couple items this trips. Ordered the Bulgogi Potato Pizza 10" a which was definitely appetizing as it was filling. Great blend of flavor and distribution of ingredients, not one item took over the other which makes for a great blended pie. Also got the half crispy chicken in the soy garlic flavor. With so many other friend chicken competition around the area specifically Korean Friend Chicken, can definitely say their take is well in the running for top friend Korean flavored chicken due to the flavor and serving size. Just got the food to go this time but the service was on time based on the order details online which made for a simple and easy transaction.

I do think they were a little understaffed because once lunch started picking up, it was harder for her to check on our table. Overall, though, service was still good! What we got: Sweet Potato Fries $5.99 | 8/10 Pretty standard sweet potato fries. Nothing too crazy, but they were good! Corn Cheese $10.99 | 8/10 Another pretty standard dish, but the portion size was really good! Plenty to share with the table. 12-Piece Extra Crispy Chicken Wings $22.99 | 9/10 We got lemon pepper and soy garlic. Lemon pepper was way better than soy garlic for me! I really liked the crispy batter and seasoning on the wings. I'd definitely come back for these. Sweet Potato Pizza $18.99 | 7/10 Very unique! The sweet potato flavor on a pizza is definitely something I'm not used to. It was a little too sweet for me, but I'm glad we tried it. Bulgogi Pizza $21.99 | 8/10 This was definitely the better of the two pizzas for me. I much preferred the savory bulgogi flavor and would order this one again. Soju $14 Can't go wrong with some soju to go with Korean fried chicken! Overall, a solid spot for Korean fried chicken, pizza, and drinks with a group. The wings were definitely the highlight for me, especially the lemon pepper!

The staff were nice and welcoming but wasn't as helpful as there were plenty of deals I didn't know about as a first timer, which could have benefited me. When I got home I realized despite saying bbq sauce on the side, they still sauced my wings and they were soggy by the time I got home so I needed to put them in the air fryer. The chicken had good flavor because of the sauce but it was not seasoned. The tenders were nice size, crispy and SPICY! their dry rub definitely was extremely spicy to the point I couldn't finish all 3 tenders. The fries were fresh crispy and seasoned and really good. After I left I noticed on the window there was a daily deal similar to what I ordered, I wish the staff would have notified me to help me save a couple bucks.
