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.
super good food and service was fast! i love their honey bee and lemon pepper wings. loaded mac and jumbo sando was such a good deal and they were so flavorful.
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

Sandwich is really good. You can customize the spice level. The meat is certified halal!!! Fries are really good and crispy. Not too salty. Inside seating. It was hot when we went in and good thing the person turned on the a/c. read more
This place is located in a plaza so there's plenty of parking service is friendly and it's so unique how their chicken sandal it comes with mac & cheese, which was so delicious. I ordered their family meal and their legs and thighs were bomb and juicy, and it came with the side, such as coleslaw, french fries mac & cheese, and toast so I got to build my own sandwich with a tender Their new cheese sticks were amazing so cheesy and that cheese pull thats how you know its done right!! Of course I had to order some dessert so I got waffles. Everything was so delicious. You gotta check it out for yourself and you definitely won't regret it. read more

We were instantly warmly greeted by the cashier and he also gave us some good recommendations. The restaurant is pretty big and has a fun vibe to it. If you are a hot chicken girly like I am, you need to try this place!! The spice level is on point. We got medium spice and it was SPIII-CYYY! They also offer different flavors of crispy chicken wings! It's a fun place to bring kids. There's a couple of arcade games and also a timer game you can play to get your next meal FREE!! All the combo meals are ALOT of food, so come hungry! There's also a cafe coming soon inside the restaurant, so they gave us a sample of their thai tea to try. It was so good and flavorful! Overall it was a 10/10!! read more

Was craving some fried chicken sandwich, I saw good reviews of this place so I drive a bit for this place and so happy I did. The lady at the counter was super friendly, I got the mild spicy Jumbo Sando with coleslaw just by itself. They fry the chicken per order, which is great I waited about 10 minutes it was not bad since I noticed there were quite a bit of phone orders ahead of me for pick up, its a good idea next time to order ahead especially if it's a larger order. The lady at the counter gave me a bit of fries to try with the sandwich which is so nice of her, and wow she was not wrong their fries are super good, crispy and is slightly seasoned definitely will get some next time. Now let's talk about the sando ! It is two pretty thick pieces of tender fried to perfection so crispy , the mild is just a little bit of spice (next time I am gonna go for medium) although it is not super super juicy but when you bite into it with the coleslaw and the pickles and the sauce they put in it, it is just perfect, so glad I took a detour at chick fil A's drive thru and decided to drive further to Legend ! If you ever tried Howling Wolf in Pasadena this is very similar but minus the line the wait and the drive if you don't live near Pasadena I was told they also do Korean style chicken which I will definitely try next time ! Definitely recommend this place if you want a good chicken Sando and fries ! read more

Wow, my review was 3 years ago on take out & today I finally went in person to check it out. Everything was so delicious. Very spacious, lots of tables, lots of parking / the girl at the front was so nice. My favorite was definitely the drumsticks in garlic soy, the cheese curds, the fries, even the coleslaw was good Would definitely come back again. Service & good was great so that's a win! read more

i've heard great things about this place. Overall was very disappointed. I ordered the 6pcs mango habanero. It was very sweet rather than spicy which is what I was expecting. Garlic soy was the other flavor we tried, also very sweet not much flavor. The combos come with your choice of mac & cheese, fries or coleslaw we were never offered that option. It also came with a drink. Majority of the drinks from their fountain machine were watered down. read more

The chicken sandwich and tenders were well seasoned, spicy, juicy, and crispy. The cheesy mac and cheese was the perfect finishing touch, and very satisfying. The fries were golden, crunchy, and delicious. Overall, a great chicken spot with plenty of flavor. read more

Craving some fried chicken and came to this place. Right when we came in, we were welcomed by the guy. It was an interesting place because one side is fried chicken and the other is some Korean food but they share the space. I'm surprised there wasn't more people because the chicken here is huge and juicy. The amount of food they give is plenty for the price. AND the toast was delicious! This place is closer to us than other chicken places so I think we found our new spot! I'm not crazy on spicy food so will need to take someone who can eat spicy but the original was well seasoned. Will be recommending to a friend. read more

I'm soo happy Legends improved tremendously from the first time I tried them! I need me a good local chicken tendie spot and I think they're it! Around the end of October, I had the sandwich + 1 tender combo, medium spice with mac & cheese delivered to work. FLAVURRRRR! (word shoutout to hungry4munchies) The tender was a lot more well seasoned this time around and just as moist and juicy as before. If you do not eat spicy food regularly, do not order medium as it is verrrry spicy. I'm glad I did not try hot because medium is the perfect *at-work* level spice for me. This experience restored my faith in Legends :D Fast forward to end of Nov, I had Legends delivered to me at home for dinner. I ordered- Waffle + 2 Tenders: for the tenders, I opted for mild and lemon pepper. The mild was good, just as expected. The lemon pepper tho was lacking. The seasoning tastes good but there was soooo little on the tender. Upon opening the box, I could barely tell which tender was which based on appearance. I'll order the lemon pepper with their wings next time. The waffle was bigger than expected! I was getting hangry by the time I got my food so I did not bother putting it back in the toaster. It was so good and fluffy even if it was a little soggy. Loaded Tender Fries: since I got mild for the waffle tendie, I opted to go HOT for the frie tendies but alas, they still gave me mild :( The tenders and fries were pretty soft but the sliced pickles was the refreshing crunch this combo was missing. It's an interesting mix that works well together. I will order the loaded tender mac & cheese next time! read more

Chicken sandwich and nuggets are very good and crispy. First time I got the waffle I was surprised by the size. The waffles are very soft and fluffy. Very good. The worker at the register is really good. But the spice levels are very underestimated. read more
