    chicken wings and waffles
    Flora H.

    The "Not Your Mamas Kitchen" food truck came to my office today, and it's definitely not MY Mama's kitchen, I can say that much. For $13 I got fried chicken and waffles. Note that the chicken is just wings and drumsticks (no breast or thigh) which wasn't what I was expecting, but worked out just fine. They have a couple of different options for sauces - "lemon pepper" or "hot honey" - and I went for the hot honey and kind of wish that I had done it dry. Not that the hot sauce wasn't good, but the fried chicken itself was so good that it didn't really need an extra sauce and I found the sauce to be distracting. The waffles were definitely too fried and greasy for me, crispy and not fluffy at all, so next time I'd probably opt for a side instead. But, all in all, definitely a fan!

    Party Wings w/Yans $12

    I've visited this truck a few times when they are in DTLA. I've ordered the fish & chicken wings. The fish uses more of a corn meal coating than a batter. It was seasoned well and tasted good. I've also ordered the chicken wings, but I made the mistake of getting it sauced up with a honey hot sauce. I was not a big fan of this. The honey with Rooster hot sauce does not go well together IMO. It was a little too tangy for me. It would have been better with tabasco. The chicken was crispy and tasted like it was cooked in lard. Next time, I'll just get them plain or maybe lemon pepper. Their rice & gravy is a little bland, so keep some salt close by. The yams was good and not too sweet. Just keep in mind that they fry everything to order, so it could be a long wait when busy. I wished they had an app where I could order before hand to do a pickup.

    Catfish, Red beans & Rice, Mac n Cheese

    3.5 stars - Let me start by saying the catfish was one of the best I've tasted, light, crispy and flavorful. The Redbeans were tasty too, just a tad bit dry for my taste. Huge disappointment with the Mac n cheese, it tasted bland like krafts. Very surprised that 2 items can be so good and a big fail on the Mac and cheese. Mac and cheese is just as important as the potato salad for black people. Those two just have to be on point lol. I will definitely be back for the catfish

    Turkey chop with mac n cheese and yams $15
    Michelle B.

    Not bad but not fantastic Turkey chop perfectly cooked should have used a bit more seasoning. Yams perfect mac and cheese disappointed they were tasteless. I wanted to love it.

    This restaurant is well known for its Southern Soul Food cooking. The menu changes often, but you can be sure to get a very fresh and tasty soul food meal. Not Yo Mama's Restaurant southern style home cooking taste just like Yo Mama's Sunday dinner. Not Yo Mama's offers it all so be sure to unbuckle you top pants button before sitting down at the table. The turkey chops and fish are delicious, as well as the home style southern side dishes. On any given day you'll find this restaurant packed with locals and visitors alike.

    I ordered the Fried Chicken lunch with dark meat with a side of greens and macaroni and cheese. The girl at the front was very nice and helped us order. The food is bomb dot com. Nothing was too fatty or salty, perfect seasoning. I'll be back for sure.

    Great food and prices support an honest business. Customer service is excellent! Family owned with food made from scratch. No where can you go and get fish or chicken without having a grease feast here you can!

    The food was great. Our service was fast and EXTREMELY friendly. I like the menu..it's short and straight to the point. The mac n cheese was amazing. Everything was made to order. Free drink refills. Good cornbread as a complementary appetizer. Nautica was our server, she was such a doll.

    Still dreaming of their wings!!! Support blacked owned businesses!!
    Summer J.

    Five stars!! Once you walk in you are immediately presented with Black love and black pride! As it should be! Very welcoming and at home, the lemonade took me back to a time in my childhood that I miss and the batter on the chicken is a mixture all their own!! We're still dreaming of the wings!!! We got the lemon pepper and honey hot!! They did NOT disappoint!! Can't wait for our next visit! #supportblackowned #buybrown #unity

While we were there, we learned that they will be closing down soon. Their last day is 6/28/2026. If you love chicken, come give them a try before they close down. The great thing about this place is they have over 30 different flavors to choose from. We ordered the: - Saigon 22 Herbs & Spices Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Tandoori Flavor Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Cajun and Jamaican Jerk Flavored Wings All the Combos came with one side and a drink. Didn't have to wait long before the friendly owner brought out our foods. Service was quick and the restaurant is nice and clean. Wow, the wings and tenders are bigger than most chicken places we've been to. All the four flavors we tried were very tasty. The portions were so big, we ended up taking the rest of them home. Overall, we enjoyed eating here. It is just unfortunate that they will be closing at the end of the month.

Throw in the ridiculously reasonable prices, and China Ichiban is a no-brainer if you're looking for a solid spot to eat. Everything is made to order, so your food is fresh and piping hot! We ordered xiao long bao and the 2 item combo with orange chicken, pepper steak, and half fried rice/half chow mein. The chicken had solid chunks of meat with minimal breading, and the steak was so tender! I love that the xiao long bao each come in their own tin, so the juice is contained even if you pop it accidentally. The flavors and seasoning of everything in our combo were on point including the chow mein and fried rice. Portions are incredibly generous, and we even had leftovers after 2 hungry adults went to town on it. Again, the owners are so kind and approachable. They let us know ahead of time that the xiao long bao would take 15 minutes since everything is made to order, and we were happy to oblige. They also offer a family meal pack and multiple catering options. There are a few tables inside if you'd like to dine inside. We'll definitely be frequenting China Ichiban more often!

If it could hold sauce, we ordered it!!! Every single batch came out fresh, crispy, and so hot it felt personally offended by the concept of room temperature!! For real!! Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, basically the wing equivalent of hitting the lottery six times in a row!! Not a single dud in the lineup!! Nope, none!! And let's talk about Wing Wednesday: 85-cent boneless wings!!! At that price, self-control simply isn't an option!! It's less of a special and more of a public service.
