    I saw photos of the fried chicken here that looks sooo good so I made my way to Long Beach to check it out. My three friends and I shared the whole chicken meal that came with a salad and sauces.They had very interesting to see Asian fusion sauces and they were very tasty paired with the chicken. The chicken was ok.. a bit too much batter for my liking. The batter was super crunch but the ratio of batter to chicken was a bit off. Overall decent, but probably would not return.

    I finally made it to Lacquered!! Our friendly chicken-everything neighborhood restaurant / takeout place. Didn't know what to order, so I asked Scott "I made curry and would like to have some chicken katsu." He started to tell me what he can do and I went with his flow, got some fries, beet pickles and for dessert mint chocolate fudge too. I also received two different sauces! This place is so homey, like you're in Scott's kitchen enjoying the food he makes. I love, love, love this place! Will be back soon! BTW.... The chicken is scrumptious and the fries made with real potatoes and the beets are pickled to excellence. There's a kick behind your mouth when you swallow it. Masterful!!

    Yummy

    Food is amazing and the host are super friendly to get to know. I have been to this location 3-4 times, but the food always amazing.

    Fried Chicken Sandwich, Fried JUMBO Chicken Tender, garlic noodles, Ceasar salad

    I'm sorry but... Mediocre at best :( Leaving a 4 star because I don't want to hurt their rating, maybe it was an off night. Big portions, order was exactly what we ordered. But honestly nothing was even close to great. Tenders and fries were decent. Chicken sando (2nd heat level) was very whatever. Sloppy, two huge tenders with overdressed salad and pickled jalapeños between the buns. Noodles were decent. Ceasar was drenched in dressing and we threw it out after a few bites :(

    Best Fried Chicken in Long Beach, hands down. Actually, possibly the best fried chicken of all time and I've had fried chicken all over the country. The chicken is already delicious on its own but when you pair it with any of their homemade sauce options, it's just simply perfection. It's even good in a sandwich. The sides here are delicious too. My favorite is the garlic noodles but don't sleep on their fries or peanut slaw. Not in the mood for fried chicken? No problem! They have other protein options too. I had their keto bowl with pork belly on my first visit and would definitely order again. It's a small space so plan on getting takeout but if you do see an empty table, grab it and enjoy the cool ambiance and great service from Diana and Scott. They're both amazing "pawrents" to their Husky/Shepherd mix named Butter and Chef Diana makes homemade dog treats in his honor! Our fur baby Frank is a huge fan of all their treats and is currently enjoying the chicken hearts. If you're in the mood for homemade food for you and your dog, then stop by Lacquered right now!

    The chef/owner is super nice. Always giving recommendations. I rarely see this place open but when I do I'm rushing to the door. It takes 15 mins for them to prepare the food. He always gives me little sample of sauces to try. The place is tiny. Just 2 tables to eat inside. He plays country music on the speakers. I love their fried chicken. It's juicy in the inside and crispy on the outside. I love the garlic sauce. The pork belly bowl has that nice bite texture to it. The rice itself is alright but once you add the sauce it makes a different. The garlic nood-rittos burrito wasn't my favorite because it just was too much noodle and heavy to eat. But I love always coming to this place. Next time i want to try the salmon rice bowl.

    Grab and go brunch

You order at the front and you take your table stand with the number and they bring your order out to you. They have plenty of seating indoor and outdoor but the parking situation is limited but there's street parking all around. They make all of their pastries in house daily and i definitely recommend trying something that's made in-house I ordered the Beef Bulgogi Burrito and a Banana Matcha. My date ordered the Eggs Benedict Croissant Sandwich and a Strawberry Matcha. Eggs Benedict Croissant sandwich 5/5: The croissant was very flaky and light, you can tell it's made in-house with how it wasn't tough like some croissants out there. Swapped the Canadian bacon with regular bacon and it was fire. The eggs Benedict idea inside of a sandwich was new to me and I'd definitely order it again. Just be careful with the yolk, it might just explode on you lol Bulgogi Burrito 4.5/5 The only thing I'd change about it is the way they roll it, it affected the ratio of egg to tater tots and meat per bite. Other than that, the actual ratio of ingredients was great, the mango salsa they give on the side is fire, and the Aji sauce (tastes like the Peruvian green sauce) was ABSOLUTELY FIRE I had to get extra sauce because I used it on literally every bite. Strawberry matcha 5/5 This was my pick, the balance of matcha to strawberry was great, definitely would recommend this Banana Matcha 4/5 This was a great pick as well but I feel that the banana overpowered the matcha

I would give it a 5 out of 10 because the sprouts on the sandwich seemed to be on the older side and turning brown. The sandwich was still very flavorful - I enjoyed the flavor of mushrooms and ricotta. I would go back again, and look forward to trying something new. There were other items that looked just as good on the breakfast side. Another thing I linked, the café has a library corner, including a book club you can join and information on the bookshelf. As a fellow author, I look forward to finding out more about the book club through steel cup Café. Thank you for a lovely afternoon!
