    This place is always clean, serving is quick and good. Food is good as well. Hot and fresh

    Great location! Super clean and super friendly! Alondra was great! If she's not the manager, she could be! Give her a store, pronto! BTW: the mural on the wall is EVERYTHING! Awaiting food, will update but based on how clean this place is, I think I'm in good hands! Update: all three orders were perfect. The food was fresh and delicious. This restaurant has been officially added into my rotation! Based on this store's excellence, I know the manager there is fantastic!

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich Meal
    Jordon C.

    I couldn't resist a bite before I remembered to take a photo. The aroma itself from the crispy chicken took a hold of me! Crackled and crispy batter with toppings that hug it better than a best friend can. I definitely plan on returning to become a Fatburger myself.

    Fat burger

    I enjoyed the burger it was tasty, u liked that it's had mildly crispy ends (smash burger). The Onion rings lacked flavor. Overall a nice tasty convenient meal. Clean restaurant and nice staff.

    I came here after a friend suggested I try Fatburger out. I've only been in LA for a few days and wanted a really good burger and fries. I found this location near my place. It's in a pretty bustling location, adjacent to a shopping center. The restaurant was not too busy. A couple of patrons sat and ate and others waited for their food. There was a really cool mural of Ice Cube on the wall. That's when I realized Fatburger was the same burger joint mentioned in his song back in the day. The mural definitely added cool points to the restaurant. It was obvious that I didn't know how to order, but the nice cashier helped me out. I ordered a large Fatburger with lettuce, tomato, mayo, cheese and bacon (the latter being extra charges). I ordered the combo, with the fat fries. All in all, my total came to twenty bucks and change. I've already came to the conclusion that living in California is not for the weak (or the cheap, lol), so I just went ahead and paid, with no resistance. I was about ten minutes away from home, so my food was still warm when I sat down to eat. The burger was big and neatly made. The fries were perfectly soft- I know that this could be a huge negative for others, but I love soft fries! There was a bit of a crisp, but they weren't hard and crunchy like some places. I asked for the thousand island dip and it paired pretty well with the fries. Now onto the burger. The burger was just good and that's not bad! It wasn't "Omg" delicious, but it was an honestly decently made sandwich. Like I said before, it was neat- not sloppy or thrown together. The beef tasted exactly like a fresh beef patty, none of that elementary school filler stuff. The only downers are: 1.) The bun. It wasn't fresh. If it was even toasted on the grill, the whole burger would've been next level good. 2.) The patty could've been seasoned a bit more. If I didn't get bacon, I probably would've been a bit more disappointed. At the end of the day, I was satisfied. I got my burger fix and that's all I wanted. I would go back one day for the fries and to try a shake. Try FB out at least once to have your own opinion. But with me, Fatburger is a solid 4 stars.

    Homemade Onion Rings

    Now I'm a huge Fatburger fan, I remember having my first one when visiting Vegas so many years ago. Now that I've moved to California - this was my first FB experience and I wasn't thrilled. The customer service was nice. However, they forgot my wife's sweet potato fries which was ordered with our meal. We have them a call and was delighted they will honor it next visit - so we kept the receipt. But my XXL burger tasted so much like a old school McD Big Mac. I wasn't thrilled. I was hungry so it did satisfy my hunger but I prolly wouldn't go back. The location and ambiance was typical fast food set up. Nothing more or less. Good did come pretty quick too

    Turkeyburger
    Carmen R.

    Visited this afternoon and was greeted by a super friendly cashier. All the staff seemed bubbly and friendly. Now my burger however is another story. I ordered a bun free turkey patty. It used to come wrapped with iceberg lettuce. Now it's served on a small bed of shredded, dry lettuce in a plastic container. I did not enjoy this burger much at all. Still keeping with 4 stars cause I think the regular burger is fine and staff is so welcoming. I hope management will consider doing away with all this extra, unnecessary plastic packaging and bring back iceberg in its original form.

I ordered the chicken strips with fries, while my partner ordered a two-piece chicken dinner with macaroni salad and spicy rice. Although we had to wait a little while for the food, it arrived hot. We both agreed that it was some of the best fast-food fried chicken we had ever eaten. The chicken was moist and the batter was crispy. My fries were good, and my partner's macaroni salad and spicy rice were both flavorful. We especially loved the biscuit. I also couldn't help noticing that although the dining room feels like something of a relic, it is very well maintained. There were no dirty tables and no trash on the floor. I was genuinely shocked when the cashier came out to ask how everything was and whether we needed anything else. Most fast-food chains seem determined to eliminate as much human interaction as possible. Pioneer Chicken was a refreshing reminder that fast food can still be friendly, clean and satisfying. Pioneer Chicken is a winner in my book!

The chicken was also greasy, but not as greasy as the fish. Would I order again? No. Not because it wasn't good, but because there are much better chicken joints that are not greasy.

The tenders had a soft interior with a very crispy, smoky and vibrant outer surface. One of the tastiest Nashville hot chicken we've had. The spiced potato wedges were wonderfully seasoned, and they were crispy as well. Menu: The menu looks simple with the tenders being the main items. They can be made into a sandwich, taco or on a salad. They also serve wings, loaded fries, and French toast. Service: Although the tenders took some time, the orders were delayed by about 20-25 minutes because of insufficient staff for on a holiday. Given this hot and humid day, with the air conditioning broken and the outside fan not operational, the overall experience proved was just average. The employee was exceptionally kind and offered us additional ranch containers for free, lol. Will definitely comeback to this place when the air conditioning works or will try the other location. Parking: Downtown LA is not free. There are parking lots almost in every block ranging from $12 to $15 (as of September 2026).

The kind of spot where you walk in and immediately think, Yep... this is where you bring someone you're trying to impress. The ambience hits that perfect balance of modern, moody, and stylish, a little sexy, a little artsy, and fully date‑night certified. Service was on point the entire night, for my experience, maybe cause they know I was was going to tip very heavily. Ha ha ha. Which ai did by the way! Staff was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious. The team here knows the menu inside and out, and they guide you like they're curating an experience rather than just taking an order. Drinks topped off, plates cleared smoothly, pacing perfect. High‑end feel without the high‑end attitude. Let's talk about the food. Filipino Fusion Done With Swagger Ribeye Salpicao, This dish is straight-up dangerous. Tender ribeye cubes seared with garlicky, buttery goodness, the kind of salpicao that makes you rethink every bite you have. Rich, savory, and addicting. If you don't guard your plate, someone at the table will steal a piece. "Because I know I would!" Rockfish Pritong, it was crispy on the outside, flaky on the inside, and seasoned like someone's Filipino auntie whispered the secrets of life into the batter. Bright, punchy flavors with that perfect crunch. Definitely a sleeper hit. Crispy Duck Pancit, This one is wild, pancit with a crispy duck twist that somehow feels both comforting and elevated. The noodles soak up all that savory duck richness, and the crispy skin on top. Wow, a moment of silence for how good that bite is. Papaya Salad, so fresh, bright, and refreshing. A perfect palate reset between the heavier dishes. Crunchy, citrusy, and balanced, the kind of salad that actually earns its spot on the table. Grilled Eggplant Salad, smoky, silky eggplant with a char that tastes like it came straight off a backyard grill in Manila. Light but flavorful, and a great contrast to the richer plates. Pasta Palabok, a true Filipino classic reimagined. Creamy, savory palabok sauce wrapped around pasta instead of noodles, bold move, but it works. The textures are luxurious, and the flavors stay true to the original. Tare Tare Tamale, definitely one of the most creative dishes of the night. A fusion tamale with tare flavors that hit sweet, salty, and umami all at once. Soft masa, rich filling, and a flavor combo that makes you pause mid‑bite. "Mmmm hmmm!" Hamachi, so clean, fresh, and beautifully plated. The kind of hamachi that melts instantly and makes you feel fancy even if you're wearing sneakers. Of course I had my dress shoes on. It has bright citrus notes and just the right amount of heat. Sampa nails the high‑end, artsy vibe without feeling stiff. Trendy lighting, modern décor, and a soundtrack that keeps the energy fun. Perfect for date night, anniversaries, or when you want to look like you know the cool spots in LA. Sampa is Filipino fusion with confidence, bold flavors, gorgeous plating, and an atmosphere that elevates the whole night. If you're trying to impress your significant other, celebrate something special, or just treat yourself to a killer meal in the Arts District, this place delivers. "Always remember the energy you give ...is the energy you receive. One bite at a time! " Miguel C.
