    Salomon C.

    I've been living next to this spot, recently got management change , Must say I was totally surprised about the style of food Chicken was juicy and very flavourful ,hot and warm The Hawaiian bread definitely compliments the chicken Everything was seasoned perfectly The sauces I tried were their nug sauce, medium, and jalapeño honey All of the sauces were nice and really changed things up with the chicken It's a definite must if you're in the area much love from one chef to the other Keep up the hard work

    Nugtown is an excellent spot!!!!! The food is fantastic, and the prices are super reasonable. The sliders are my go to, and the variety of sauces is a major plus.

    The customer service is top tier! I went one night and had such a great experience I brought a friend and came back the following night. They are opened late, they have a cool little vibe with the music and the seating area is clean. My food was fresh and hot and the owner is very friendly. The pies are homemade and I can truly say this is a Los Angeles gem this lemonade is so fire no lie.

    Nugtown is an iconic little food stall and I cannot recommend it enough. I came here with OTM and got the vegan (cauliflower) nuggets and they were delicious. Freshly fried piping hot nugs, a mind bogglingly crispy batter, melt in your mouth tender cauliflower, and sauces that were out of this world. The medium was tangy and slightly spicy, the honey mustard was a classic flavor, and the jalapeño honey was basically honey with this kick of jalapeño. I truly cannot pick a favorite. Also everyone there was super friendly! Vegan Nugs 10/10

    Skip the drive through and head to a street corner to get some fantastic freshly fried goodies from Nugtown! They pop-up on Thursday-Sunday starting at 3pm on the northwest corner of Sycamore and Fountain in Hollywood. I parked on the street less than a block away, walked with my dog to their spacious tented spot, and ordered some essentials: chicken nuggets, vegan nuggets (fried cauliflower), and waffle fries. My first real true love was the chicken nugget, and Nugtown more than satisfies my chicky nugg desires! They really know how to perfectly fry - they use just the right amount of batter on the nuggs and it doesn't separate from the chicken/cauliflower when frying, and everything turns out super crispy and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. Whatever seasoning they use is great and not overpowering, and their dipping sauces (I tried their mild and medium) are unique as they're on the liquidy side and have a smoothly tangy and peppery tomato taste. It was all sooooo yummy, and I used every last drop of the sauces. Next time, I'll have to add extra sauces to my order, and I really want to try their fried pickles too. I love that Nugtown is here in LA and that they're a small business. The guy who took my order was real chill and nice, and he was also the one who cooked up my food and bagged it - quite the multi-talented multi-tasker keeping this small business going! Since they're a pop-up operation, I suggest checking their Instagram before you go (@nugtownla) just in case they had to change their schedule or sold out of nuggs early.

    Amazing! Super crispy, flavorful, deep fried,not greasy deliciousness. Whenever and where you find this dope pop up hit it up! Owner is super friendly and nice, food is awesome and comes out quick! The spicy sauce is really good but if you're not into spicy they have normal sauces for weens. Lol jk I discovered this place at Glendale tap but I believe he goes to different spots though. Also there are vegan nug options they're made if cauliflower and my friend who eat meat says they're just as good as the chicken !

    Real great food. Vegan and chicken options which was cool. Fried pickles were bomb. Friendly service, I definitely recommend.

    Delicious, succulent perfect nuggets. I've never had anything like it in my whole life. The mild sauce was amazing. I usually love aïoli but this had no cream it was more of a sweet-and-sour but it was amazing. The owner told us that he makes everything himself and the battery doesn't have any butter milk therefore it's lighter than your usual breading. That's totally true and I can't even describe the perfection that is this nugget. You've got to try it for yourself!

Like the illustrious Mane of Gucci has said before "you can't be born with all this sauce! You gotta acquire this seasoning" and that's just what I did, like I paid for all the sauces they had just so I could know which one was the best and I still even got the free sauces like Ketchup and Mustard and dudes & dudettes I can't tell you which one was the best because they were all bombay like I just moved here from India! On Day two I got the K-Pop Sandwich and just like Girls Generation this sandwich is the best haha you gotta know K-Pop to catch my drift amigo I'm on a different wave, anyways I washed it all down with an exquisite Orange soda and honestly if it wasn't for the fact that my tastebuds need variation I would eat here everyday, I hope you check them out and let me know what you think or don't I don't care I don't even know you bros, anyways that's my review and I think I might order here again today writing the review made my stomach nostalgic! Peace

I ordered the original 'bad mutha clucka' meal and was not disappointed. * It has two pieces of chicken stuffed inside a pair of square buns. It had all necessary chicken sandwich components such as pickles and lettuce. The crispyness was ON POINT, no hints of sogginess anywhere. The miso ranch was also a nice addition, It gave the sandwich a good flavor. * Comparing it to other mainstream chicken sandwiches, you can just taste an elevated healthiness. It also has a lot of flavor, but not too strong of a flavor, which made it more delectable for my specific palate. * The price is a little on the steep side $11.49, but their chicken are 100% all-natural, vegetarian fed, and anti-biotic free. You can definitely taste the difference in quality! Along with great food, they also have great staff. Their staff was extremely welcoming and valiantly stood tall through my barrage of questions. * For those who are fans of spicy, they have plenty of options for that. And for those who are Kpop fans, they have 'Kpop wings' . I look forward to trying their loaded tots the next time I'm here! * Covid considerations: they have some indoor seating and a beautiful patio outside for dine-in. They staff practice safe-distancing and wipe down the tables after each customer leaves.

Anyway, here they have the perfect plate for me - two breasts and a wing. What could go wrong if the food is good. Well, let me tell you what can go wrong. It gives you options for crispy, spicy crispy, mixed, and grilled. I clearly checked crispy. What arrived? Spicy crispy. How did I know? Because one bite and I, who don't do spicy, had my mouth lit on fire. Now, this was a late-night order, but so what? If the people there cannot see a clearly marked crispy, not spicy crispy, not mixed, and not grilled, then they should try to look more carefully. I had to toss the food and get a refund from DoorDash. Out of fairness, I will give it another try, although the bad reviews here leave me worried, and I'm happy to amend this too spicy review. This should have been a crispy review and it would have been had it not been spicy. Get my drift?

    Tried this for the second time. I still don't understand…read morethe hype and I'm not sure if it was because I hadn't ate all day and was starving but I enjoyed my chicken tenders this time. But they don't stand up to the hype. It was very crowded on Sunday night both inside and the drive thru mostly high school kids. The service seemed nice and attentive. The place inside was a little dirty but nothing crazy. We ordered through the screen and got our order in about 15-20 min so not too bad. The chicken tenders do taste good with quality. They come out warm, soft but still with the crisp. The Cane sauce is good but the chicken tenders honestly don't need it because the chicken is good itself. I had their coleslaw which also taste fresh. Their fries were not as crispy as I'd like them to be but still had enough of the crisp and weren't all soggy. I had a bite of the chicken sandwich and that tasted pretty good but again I don't know if it was because I really hungry. They have a lot of combos to choose from and come off as a little overpriced. I don't mind coming back but really gotta be craving them to spend almost $20 for one meal.

No coleslaw in one box. Instead, 2 slices of the soggy bread-like substance, and I got one. How can you screw this up? We came here when they first opened when the line for the drive-thru was wrapped around the block. Now, it's easy to see why there's never a line. Look at the reviews. Look at my last review. ATTN: Todd G., I tried. Instead of your pathetic attempt at damage control, I'll do it for you: "We never want to disappoint and we regret to learn of your recent experience. Please call us at 1-833-HICANES or contact us at www.hicanessocial.com. We want to address what occurred!" Sadly, I drove right past Dave's Hot Chicken. Never again Todd.

Not only is their Korean fried chicken on point, their customer service and resolution of issues is really fantastic. I've ordered from this location several times for myself and my coworkers and more recently we've been ordering for our bowling team for our Thursday league. Last weekend, they accidentally gave us soy garlic instead of Galbi (still delicious), but they immediately came up with a resolution for us for the mix-up. If you've never ordered from here and aren't sure what to get - get a group together and try a little bit of everything. My favorite is the Galbi hands down. I know Galbi sauce isn't traditionally for chicken, but the sweet, smokey sauce is everything I want for my wings and I can't get enough. I've accidentally been given the spicy Galbi before and it's not intolerable in spice level, but I would try the regular first just to really be able to appreciate the flavor. Soy Garlic is my husband's favorite and the classic is always good for those who don't like sauced wings. GET THE ROSE TTEOKBOKKI!! I am obsessed and though I've tried recreating it at home getting all of the ingredients from HK market, I just can't quite make it as amazing as bb.q. I'm not a big fan of kimchi, but my coworkers rave about the kimchi fried rice, so I know it's also amazing. We recently tried the dumplings and they're also great - my husband couldn't get enough. Note for the wise: just order ahead of time and pick up to take away. A lot of these locations are smaller on the inside, this one included.

I know the store is located on a corner in a shopping plaza. They have parking but not too many. My friend said the service was good, she was in and out in no time. She said the inside was like any fast food place, chill and relaxed. The menu offers mostly chicken, boneless, whole or wings. I got boneless with spicy galbi flavor. And cheese fries. I got the 8 piece chicken, they also offer more sizes as well. Honestly the size was more than enough. The chicken pieces were big, and the flavor was good but it was just so heavy. Also the boneless pieces are not just the white breast, which I was hoping for. The cheese fries had more ketchup on them than cheese, which was very disappointing. I'm willing to try it again, just maybe a different flavor and next try I would try the wings.
