    We had an amazing time here. The food came out pretty fast and it all was so delicious. There's a game you can play when you first order and if you manage to stop the timer on exactly 10 seconds you get a free combo. I didn't win but I thought that was such a fun addition to the experience. We ordered a lot but my favorite was the spicy chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese and pickles. It sounds insane but was pretty spicy and didn't taste damp or dry, it was literally perfect. I can't recommend this place enough!

    Another fried chicken place with good flavors to add to your list. Decent portion sizes and you can choose between any of their popular flavors or spice level. And highly recommend the two thigh meal if you're interested in a very juicy crispy chicken What I also tried: -Jumbo Sandwich combo $17.5 with coleslaw, Mac side - mild: this was definitely a classic choice because you get two thick chicken tenders placed in between some soft burger bread. That was one of those American comfort food that honestly can't really go wrong. -Legend wings garlic soy 6pc $11: this was good and reminded me of a Korean fried chicken twist. Liked the Asian inspired flavor. -Drumsticks lemon pepper 5 pc $15: these were huge. Did not disappoint. I really liked the lemon pepper dry rub. The crispy breading was honestly perfection. -Fried okra $6: I was surprised that they actually had this on the menu this paired well with the side sauce Definitely better than your fried chicken that you would get at any fast food restaurant.

    If you're a hot chicken lover, this is your sign to try Legend Hot Chicken in Hacienda Heights We went all in and honestly... no regrets. The jumbo sando was everything you want in a hot chicken sandwich, so crispy, juicy, flavorful, and actually packed in every bite. The loaded tender fries with mac & cheese were next level comfort food: creamy, cheesy, crunchy, and so satisfying you can't stop going back for more. The tteokbokki had such a tun spicy kick, the cheese curds were golden and addicting, and the waffles tied everything together with that pertect sweet finish What stood out most is that everything tastes intentional; not just spicy for hype, but well-seasoned, fresh, and made with real care. You can really feel the passion behind the brand and why it's become such a local favorite in the SGV.

    Love the interior of this place. Upon walking in, it is nice and bright. The staff was super friendly and the girl in front was very helpful. I had a few items including their waffle, chicken sandwiches, and tteokbokki. The way they fry their chicken is so good. The skin is super crispy yet the chicken inside is still juicy. Also, this might be one of the best chicken and waffles I've ever had. The waffles are crispy on the center and soo fluffy on the inside. They also give you whip cream and butter with it. It was delicious. If this was a breakfast spot, I would go back to order the waffles every day. I also like how much toppings are in their tteokbokki. The flavor was really good and wasn't too overly spicy which I enjoy. The chicken sandwich was a little hard to eat because it is HUGE but nonetheless, it was great. The chicken wasn't dry even though they were tenders. Overall, I really liked my meal there and found it really delicious.

    If you get one thing and one thing only from here -- let it be the 5 piece chicken thigh w/ honeybee sauce !!!! My mind has been blown from that single entree. On top of that, I also got the most flavorful chicken sandwich despite getting the heat in mild and amazingggg loaded fries (spice level medium). Service was friendly and the ambiance is fantastic as well!! Very clean and love the amount of open space they have in their restaurant. I will be back!

    Went back for the waffle (and some chicken sandos too) and it's a REALLY good waffle!!! The batter isn't heavy and obviously made fresh to order which are the most important elements. What really impressed me was that they give you fresh whipped cream and fresh whipped butter as well as syrup. Any combination of the three were delicious. If you like waffles, you need to try the waffles here.

    Planned an Easter playdate last week and decided to grab some fried chicken Found Legend Hot Chicken in Hacienda Heights Their crispy chicken is the signature -- you can choose your spice level and many favors to try The surprise is : They even have rice bowls (and it comes with mac & cheese !!!) Super kid-friendly and perfect for a casual hangout Perfect spot for: Playdates Work dates IG: socalhkfoodies

    Went here for the first time recently and it did not disappoint. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and the seasoning had a really good flavor to it. Sometimes places focus too much on heat, but this one actually tasted good while still bringing the spice. Service was friendly and everything came out faster than expected. The whole place has a casual vibe and it felt like a good spot to grab something quick but still really satisfying. Definitely one of those places you go back to when you're craving hot chicken.

    Chicken was THICKKK, they don't miss out on that so it's a bang for your buck. Play and hit 10 sec on the dot and score a free meal on them!

    This place was fire! Service is great & they are really generous with their portions! The Super Loaded tender fries actually come super loaded and they could feed two people! Their mac and cheese pairs perfectly with their chicken in either the fries or in a burrito. I cant decide which I like more. I tried spicy rice cake for the first time and I loved it. Soft chewy texture with a nice kick & an egg the wings were solid but the buffalo sauce wasnt my favorite , they came sauced up though which I appreciate it. Finding parking was no problem & there was a good amount of tables/room inside. Definitely recommend trying this spot out, i'll forsure be back.

    The hygiene there is absolute garbage--I ended up with terrible diarrhea right after eating. Honestly, those positive reviews have got to be fake. Save yourself the trouble and stay far away!My order was scheduled to be ready at 1:00 PM. I showed up on time, only to be forced to wait for another full hour. I finally got my chicken at 2:00 PM. Does it really take an hour to fulfill a scheduled order? This defeats the whole purpose of ordering ahead. Super frustrated with their poor management and lack of communication.

    the second location my bf and i have tried and we like this one much more! we ordered 5 whole tenders, 2 burgers combo, and some with mac and cheese and fries -- the fries alone are very addicting! like this extra coat of crispiness

The fried chicken has crispy outer skin and juicy tender meat inside, the drinks also have well-balanced sweetness. As for service, all crew members are polite and patient, they happily adjusted my order details when I made small requests.

I will absolutely come back to try more menu items very soon!

    I've been hearing about Wallace Chicken since this Chinese fast-food chain expanded into the U.S.,…read moreand today was my first visit. I was curious to see if it really lived up to the reputation -- and I have to say, it did. I tried their spicy chicken sandwich made with dark meat, and it was surprisingly delicious. The chicken was incredibly tender, juicy, and flavorful, with a crispy fried coating that had the perfect crunch. Compared with other popular chicken sandwich chains like KFC and Chick-fil-A, I personally found Wallace Chicken more satisfying, especially because the dark meat stayed so moist and flavorful. The fries are coated with seasoning and batter, which is a style some people may love. It's not my personal favorite since I prefer classic crispy fries, but they were still tasty and well prepared. The restaurant itself was bright, clean, and comfortable, and the service was friendly and efficient. For a first visit, I was impressed by the quality and freshness of the food. Definitely worth trying if you enjoy fried chicken sandwiches. I'll be coming back to explore more items from the menu!

The owner did a great job remodeling the place compared to prior. Unfortunately, the food was subpar and inedible. The beef chow fun reminded me of my own first attempt to make it at home, but not in a good way. There was no "wok hei." It was under seasoned and anemic. Our second dish was the "Sichuan spicy fish fillet." I made the mistake of ordering Sichuan food in a non Sichuan restaurant. It tasted like hot tap water. To make matters worse, the fish fillet was still thawing and I had to send it back. It came back like the cook just added more hot water and switched out the bowl. Unbelievable! There was no attempt of service recovery. They should not have charged me for that dish, honestly. The last dish was "Chongqing Spicy Chicken in Boneless." This was the best dish of the three. Essentially, it was like fried chicken nuggets with dried chili. Maybe, it was the head chef's day off that Friday afternoon? In any case, I do hope their food gets better because they seem like nice people.
