    Ozempic Anorexic Wings
    Buff P.

    I'm trying to figure out how to give no stars. These are the worst wings ever. The original founders should be embarrassed. The wings are small, cold, and overcooked. Instead of spending money on advertising, spend on quality. The American people deserve it. This is not your pay for what you get $9. For Anorexic wings. How do I start a protest against this establishment ? The food was better 10 years ago. I used to sponsor El Pollo Loco for our luncheons. I wouldn't give this to the starving. Because they would still be starving. This should be a crime.

    We came in for a quick late lunch and was craving for chicken. Menu is extensive offering just about everything- fam meals, plates, burritos, tacos, salads, tamales, bowls, soup, kids meals, $5 combos, etc. Ordered the $5 tacos all carbon- 3 grilled chicken tacos with cilantro and chopped onions. Comes with a side of tortilla chips and a drink. What a deal! They have an awesome salsa bar- my absolute fave is the avocado salsa!! I could drink that stuff lol Small pieces of avocado within the salsa- so yum. Overall very happy with my meal, quick friendly service, and clean establishment.

The chicken was fresh, crunchy (even after transporting home) well seasoned and flavorful. The sauces were phenomenal and I was happy the sauce can come on the side in the event I wanted to save some the next day.

This place is the Korean…read morefried chicken equivalent of getting hyped up by your funniest friend trying to warn you about the spice level of the food. Service here is quick, warm, and occasionally chaotic in a charming "we're hustling, my friend" way. One minute you're sitting down, the next minute a plate of crispy chicken lands in front of you like it teleported. Even when they're busy, they move with that "we got you" energy. "Is it perfect? No. Is it fast enough that you forget you were ever hungry? Absolutely." The chicken... my God. Crispy like it trained in a dojo. Saucy like it's trying to flirt. The seasoned chicken hits harder than other spots, a little spicier, a little louder, a little "I hope you cleared your schedule." Portions are generous. Prices are a little tad bit higher, but honestly, you're paying for chicken that could win awards and maybe even run for office. Probably not, lol. As for the Flavor, well if you like things on the spicy side good, this is the spot. I understand why people come back multiple times a month. I almost signed a lease in their parking lot. lol. Imagine a sports bar... but cleaner, less sticky, and with chicken that doesn't taste like regret. TVs on, drinks flowing, weekday happy hour doing what makes you feel good, enjoying life one bite at a time! It's casual, fun, and the kind of place where you can yell "THIS CHICKEN IS CRAZY" and nobody judges you because they're yelling it too. Parking's on the side or parking lot can be a bit challenging, but well worth the taste and ambience of the place to make you forget about it. Miguel C.

Also, they accept card! Not cash only. Nice. Anyway let's talk about the food. I love me some Thai hainan chicken so I had some expectations. Let's gooo. White meat hainan with garlic rice - 8/10 This was really good for the price. I think the meal cost $14 and it came with a cup of broth and dipping sauce. Chicken was cooked without being too dry. Hainan chicken lacked in flavor but the condiments made up for it. I mixed ginger and all the chili in the sauce and enjoyed it. Garlic rice was really good without any raw bits of garlic. Broth was a bit MSG heavy but whatever I still killed it lol Zaab crispy chicken with garlic noodle - 7/10 Zaab crispy chicken was perfectly seasoned, and the sauce didn't make the chicken skin soggy which was a huge plus. The chicken stayed crunchy until the end of the meal. The garlic noodles, though, were a letdown. They were really greasy and lacked flavor. I had to use a lot of the condiments just to give it some taste. Next time, I'd order the Zaab chicken with garlic rice instead. Fried shrimp - 8/10 This was really good. Easy to finish in once sitting. It was just lightly seasoned shrimp wrapped in a fried wonton wrapper. It came with a side of sweet and sour sauce that I barely used. It didn't even need it tbh. Overall, this place was worth a try especially for an affordable hearty meal. Service was quick and menu had lots of options. If you're in the area and want some quick Thai food, check this place out!

This spot was really confusing because the sign on the said Jumbo Noodles, but the sign on the corner of the shopping center said Heng Heng. It is, in fact, same same. The parking lot was tight and had a ton of people loitering (some even harassing you as you walk by), so I'd take extra caution. The woman inside was a little too preoccupied with whoever she's texting to really give a hoot about us. Quickly ordered to go and tried to get out of that lot as soon as possible. There are 3 tables for you to dine in, but this looks mainly like a to go type of spot. We got an order of Hainan chicken rice with dark meat and a half/half plate with garlic rice, crispy pork, and dark meat chicken. Each order came with a cup of soup. Portions were plenty, but the chicken was really dry. I questioned at some point if they gave us white meat. The pork belly was still crispy for the most part and a good fat to meat ratio. The soup was lacking - too much sugar and white pepper. I don't think I'll be a returning customer. The prices and portions were decent, but I don't think it's enough for me to come back.

So, we arrive and it's in an industrial area and parking lot is empty. There are tables outside, but no chairs. For a moment, we thought it was closed, but the sign says open. So we go in. It's completely empty. There is a counter with 2 screens to order, and 1 cash register. There is no one behind the counter. The sign says cashier is on break, order on tablet. We try, but we couldn't pay with inKind, so we rang the button for service. The person who came out spoke very little English and was there by herself. But we got through the order. The food was EXCELLENT. The veggie plate was huge. So much food. Really tasty and fresh. Food = Amazing Ambiance = odd

No offer for substitute until I complained and when she gave me the chips she gave attitude. 2. Gave me the smallest bag of chips. 3. The chicken tinga and chicken breast in the meal still have bones attached. 4. I paid extra to substitute chicken breast instead of chicken tinga but they put both in my order. The meal became inedible for me after a couple bites because I hate chicken tinga.

It's a chill corner-plaza restaurant with a great patio, very casual ambiance, but the food is what makes it unforgettable. The sliders are some of the best I've had, big pieces, perfectly cooked, and coated in sauces that actually taste crafted, not generic. Cali heat, Sweet heat, or spicy BBQ... all are incredible. Oh wait...the fried pickles are crispy and addictive, and the orders come out with that "made with care" feel you don't get at chain spots. I've eaten at Cane's and Chick-fil-A more times than I can count, but Fyrebird in Gardena, genuinely tops them. Every piece cooked perfectly, fries tasting like someone made them at home. This place is a gem, and I'm already planning my next visit. Miguel C.
