10000/10 brunch, absolutely blew me away. I ordered the Gravy Train biscuit sandwich and it was…read moreunreal. Every bite had so many flavors, perfectly balanced, and the biscuit itself was insanely buttery and soft easily one of the best I've had in LA in a long time. My husband got the steak & eggs with a side of hashbrowns, and it was just as impressive. The steak was cooked perfectly, everything was well-seasoned, and the whole dish felt really balanced. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

I visited Yardbird for the first time as part of a party of three to celebrate Father's Day, and I…read moreleft with mixed feelings. Let's start with parking. The restaurant is located at the Beverly Center and does not validate parking. The good news is that parking is relatively affordable at $1 per hour. Since I don't eat meat or chicken, I checked the menu online beforehand and found several options that looked appealing. Unfortunately, once we were seated, we were given a completely different menu. When I asked about it, our server, Lindsey, explained that the menu I had seen online isn't available until after 3 p.m. That was disappointing since I had already planned my meal. We started with the biscuits. They had a strong smoky flavor that honestly made me think they were baked with pork fat or in an oven used for barbecue. Lindsey assured me they weren't made with any meat fats, but the smoky flavor was definitely noticeable. I ordered the salmon with microgreens and a side of mac and cheese. My partner ordered the steak and eggs with hash browns, and we both enjoyed the mint mocktails--they were refreshing and one of the highlights of the meal. The salmon was cooked well and I enjoyed it. The mac and cheese, however, was a huge letdown. It arrived in a cute little cast-iron skillet on a butcher block, so the presentation was great, but the taste didn't match the appearance. It reminded me of boxed mac and cheese made with powdered cheese, topped with Parmesan just to create a crust. It was runny, lacked richness, and there wasn't even a hint of that satisfying cheese pull. Unfortunately, there were service issues as well. My partner specifically ordered his eggs over hard, but they weren't prepared that way. His hash browns never arrived at the table, and on the drive home he realized we had been charged for them. He intended to mention it before leaving but simply forgot. The biggest positive is the restaurant itself. It's beautiful, stylish, and has a great ambiance. Beyond that, though, I found the food to be average for the price. Even by Los Angeles standards, $42 for chicken and waffles feels excessive. Overall, Yardbird looks better than it tastes. While there were a few bright spots, the inconsistent service, menu confusion, and underwhelming food don't justify the price. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning.

I ordered from here last night for the first time, and it was so good. I was pleasantly surprised…read more The only thing I wish is that I had ordered more than a quarter chicken because it came with one small leg and a small thigh, and I was still a little hungry. But it was so yummy. The sweet potatoes were sliced and a little crispy on the outside, with the most delicious seasoning that made them just a tiny bit spicy. The broccolini was also delicious and cooked perfectly. I can't wait to order from here again. Oh, and the hibiscus mint tea was perfect! I crave it all the time now.

Half & half - this would easily feed 3 people, probably 4. We ordered half soy garlic (raspberry? sauce) and half chili, which was my favorite. Interesting use of fruit - my brain was confused most of the time. It's good chicken, though. Try it at least once. It really is just one guy. From slicing the fruit to checking your table out, he runs the whole show. The story is just about as good as the food. What an interesting place to be.

The service was subpar compared to what some of the other reviewers said, the owner essentially told us to pick a table and pretty much left us to our own devices. The food took a while as well--we got the half and half. The soy was alright, nothing too spectacular. The other one was some kind of sweet, cherry (?) jam thing that didn't go well with the chicken at all. It felt like it was just thrown in, and there was wayyy too much of that jam. Neither of us liked it. The whole meal wasn't worth what we paid for. Overall ambiance was okay, very dark inside contrasted by the tvs he had of kpop groups performing.

Unfortunately, the chicken itself was a bit of a letdown. Across the board, it was much drier than expected -- even the thighs, which are usually the safest bet for juicy fried chicken. The Hot Chili flavor in particular didn't do much to overcome the dryness. The highlights of the meal were definitely the Honey Butter wings and the Original OMG chicken. The Honey Butter seasoning delivered that addictive sweet-and-savory flavor that Korean fried chicken does so well, while the Original OMG had the best balance of flavor and texture of everything we ordered. The tteok-kochi was okay, and the pickled radish provided a welcome break from all the fried food. The homemade ranch was also surprisingly good. It's not a traditional ranch and had a bit of a bite to it -- maybe horseradish? Whatever it was, it worked. I have to call shenanigans on the YouTube and TikTok reviewers who have been hyping this place up. Maybe you have to be Jack to get a decent chicken thigh. Overall, there were some standout flavors here, particularly the Honey Butter and Original OMG, but the dryness of the chicken kept this meal from living up to its potential.

Saw the food on Uber Eats and decided to stop in on my way to the grocery store lol…read more they have a mid-week special: 4 legs and 2 sides for $12 which might be the best deal in LA. Those are in n out prices for some of the best chicken I ever had! The chicken isn't super spicy I think everybody would enjoy it but it's definitely not mild. Super crispy but not like a heavy batter at all. I thought 4 pieces was gonna be too much but I couldn't let any go to waste Sweet tea was great, the Mac n cheese was alright, I think I would do the slaw next time. The service was impeccable too, I sat on the far side of the restaurant not realizing there was only one server for the whole restaurant. Shawna was on top of everything tho and even offered me a sample of the pecan pie as I left Will definitely be back again! Probably tomorrow lol imma be thinking about that pie all day

They had a really good texture and tasted fresh. The sandwiches came on long buns kind of like the style KFC uses, but the chicken was way better. The chicken was juicy, tender, crispy, and packed with seasoning in every bite. The special sauce on top pulled everything together perfectly. I tried the Kluckin' Hot level and it had a really nice kick without being overwhelming. I enjoy spicy food, and for me it was flavorful more than painfully hot, which I liked because I could still taste the seasoning and the chicken itself..

And there is a drive thru.... So be careful entering the lot. You may get stuck for a bit. I went in and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Could be the good food, could be the staff and the wonderful service they provide. Could be the clean restaurant. Or maybe all of the above. The gentleman that helped me was very friendly and helped me decide what I should order. I ended up with The Box, minus a drink. I do not drink soda, and it was too late to be drinking tea. The chicken was good, not greasy. Very moist and full of flavor. The sauce is good, like a spicy thousand island, kind of. The coleslaw was good. Packed away in a little container but really packed in.... The fries were ok. Could have been hotter, crisper, more seasoned, etc, but they were not bad. The Texas toast was ok. Light and airy, a little buttery. It did not need the toast, but it was nice for a variety of things to be nibbling on. It was a fair price for good food. I have my favorite fried chicken places here in LA,  but this is not bad and I will probably go again at some point.

I'll take toaster oven chicken fingers over this place any time. For a single-item restaurant,…read moreyou'd expect them to be really good at it, but no. This place is 100% hype. If I wasn't starving, I'd have tossed it. Customer service was ok; competent, but not warm. If you want bland fried chicken, chick-fil-a is across the street. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a fast food joint. Save you money, grab some toaster oven chicken fingers instead.
