    Sandwich and strip combo
    Mark F.

    Strong option for Nashville Hot Chicken in an increasingly crowded market. Howlin Rays is still the gold standard for me but in Long Beach, unless you want a chain that is just okay, you are looking at a handful of spots worth spending your money at. The combo deals are a pretty good value and I got the one with the sandwich and chicken strip. First off, as far as standard fries goes, I think the crinkle cut is best. Yes the seasoned curly fries are hard to beat but again for standard fries, the crinkle holds in all the seasoning so it its one of my faves and so I loved having these fries which were well seasoned. The chicken was well cooked with good crunch on the outside and tender chicken inside. The medium was pretty spicy so I can't imagine what the hot is like. We can handle pretty spicy foods as a family but this was pretty strong so buyer beware. I was glad I got the sandwich becauss the bun and slaw helped cut that heat a little. I do wish this food hall had more than 2 restaurants open and hopefully other restaurants will come in as tenants because that would help this area but I like the food hall style set up using shipping containers and the open seating area. I hope this place survives because all in all pretty satisfied with this spot if we can't make the trek to DTLA for Howlin.

    Love this place! It's our favorite hot chicken place so far. We have came here multiple times and it never disappoints. Usually it's the same staff working and they are always so nice and fast. The food always comes out hot and fresh. They have an outdoor seating area that is shared with another restaurant. Definitely recommend!

    Make sure to check online orders. They were missing 2 items and couldn't give me a refund. Only option was to drive hella far to pickup the items. Very annoying for something that was definitely their fault. Two $7 items too from a $165 order. Food was still good but spicier than the last time, so sometimes they're inconsistent

    I ordered on-line for pick-up. Location was easy to get to and there was easy parking. Everything was packed up, ready to go. There are cute shared benches if you want to eat there. Chicken was mild spicy. It was delicious. It wasn't super greasy and fries were salty, spicy and crunchy - just the way I like them. I had the 3 Tender Combo which was plenty of food for me. I gave my son, a tender. Overall, super yummy chicken restaurant!

    They are already known for their yummy fried chicken! I picked up the order for to go this time and the staff provided very quick service. The shop is small but very efficient. Outdoor common seating area is available in front of the store. I ordered: 1. Combo 1: 2 chicken burgers and fries

    Came across this place while meeting with a coworker close by and ended up eating here since the place we originally wanted to eat at was not open yet. We ordered the medium spicy chicken sandwich which still had quite a kick to it. The ingredients on the sandwich were fresh and matched well with the fried chicken. The fries were also nice but I wish it would have had less seasoning on it. The place itself is nice and offers plenty of seating at a nicely covered patio. Verdict: 4 stars for very reasonably priced food and fast and friendly service. I'II be back! Enjoy and Bon Appetit.

    Main Chick Hot Chicken is one of the better hot chicken places in LA County. After the over-saturation of many hot chicken joints in the last few years, this one stands out from the bunch. The cuts of chicken are fair and meaty and have such a nice crunch when you bite into them. I ordered two sliders and they were both so damn good! I'm already thinking about coming back and having them again. The fries are also very good. They give you a generous portion and they are crispy and seasoned to perfection. It is a great deal of food that will more than likely leave you satisfied. The wait times are not too bad either. Only about ten minutes before my food was ready. I loved every last bite :) I asked the cashier about their wall of fame and she told me that to earn a place on it, I would have to eat one of their chicken items at the spiciest level. I let her know next time I come eat here, I'm going to be on that wall. Mark my words.

    Easy parking, outdoor seating. So many chicken sandwich spots popping up. Add this one to the list of the good ones :) Chicken had good flavor, good texture, sandwich bread soft & fresh. Mc sauce is tasty, extra $ for hot honey (optional). Seasoned fries crispy, not soggy, the way we like it! Mac and cheese was not as creamy as I like, but still good . Chill vibes.

    Little pricey but food is good. Seating is limited since it's shared with other businesses. I would go again.

The building…read moreitself is a an old looking place that is in a real need to spend money updating, heck everything . The place really tests your faith in a food prep area and the temperature your food is kept. They, like a lot of small independent fish markets need to take a day and just clean EVERYTHING a customer sees. On to the food, this trip I ordered the dinner plate it consisted of 3 pieces of the fish of my choice and 10 large shrimp along with fries a second side and a roll. It took about 12 mins to receive the food and the provide you with a pager. I wanted a smaller plate but they only have the option of 3 pieces or a 5 piece meal nothing for smaller appetites. This is a togo spot there is no inside dinning so all orders should come with your condiment breakdowns or you should be asked your desire. I was already on the freeway in traffic before I noticed the 2 most important condiments were not in my bag!!! The ketchup nor any hot sauce.! This almost got them a one star review for it. Im not even a big spicy girl and I was appalled it wasn't included. So I had to eat dry a$$ fries and try a bit of tartar sauce (which isn't my favorite thing in the first place) but who serves fries without at least offering ketchup? I asked for my shrimp to be lightly fried ( so they wouldn't taste like rubber) and he cooked them almost perfectly crisp. The fish was cooked lightly crisp as well This is why I didn't give a one star. The batter was light and flaky with much flavor generally not being a spicy girl I appreciate when the batter isn't what I deem spicy, but even I would have added a tinge of pepper flavoring to give a pop of extra flavor. The container is probably a highlight here they keep the food in cardboard. Now if you don't know plastic (all plastic is terrible for your body (the particles that come off of it and warming your food in them are definitely cancer callers) so this helps for safety and how your food sweats inside the container cardboard with holes always food to stay in its intended form fries in generally breathe better and don't get soggy like and less the crispness. So thanks for that. But please please clean the windows and the freezers they just look dingy. Who I go back? Only in an emergency. And that consists of the other place I like being closed as this place is open until 8. So anytime I need some fried fish after 640 this is that spot!

We also ordered the ube Basque cheesecake, and it was easily one of the best desserts I've had recently--rich, creamy, and not too sweet. Our server, Sergio, made the experience even better.

After enduring weeks of record breaking heat in Long Beach, this was the perfect place to land as the Summer Breeze... Makes Me Feel Fineeee again. A very well but gently lit space that still feels cozy and spacious. The outside gives no indication of how well the inside has been designed. Great for lunch or dinner dates. Noise level was low and there's no feeling of a chaotic restaurant environment. Food/Service 1-5: 4.8 I order the shrimp and lobsters fettuccine, bone marrow as an appetizer. My company ordered the lamb burger. All dishes we beautifully plated; true works of art. Neither of us had any complaints about presentation and creativity. As far as taste and as excited as we were to dig in to our food, the ONLY setback was the lack of seasoning mainly salt. I'm aware that a Chef does their best to meet the expectations of their guest. I'm also aware that meeting everyone's expectations is impossible. To confirm my advice of needing some salt in the food I patrons the restaurant twice, two days in a row. The food needs more salt and I stand solid on that opinion. The service was great and I thanked Mel for taking such great care of us. Mel is a rockstar! Diversity score 1-5: 4 The restaurant definitely appeals to diverse crowds. It reminded of the days I frequented Marcus Samuelsson's Red Rooster in Harlem, NY. Go again score 1-5: 5, Absolutely. I do hope I don't have to keep bothering the server for salt and pepper.
