We were greeted right when we walked in! The girl was super friendly and helpful. Ive never been here before but i got the small boneless combo with soy garlic and garlic butter fries. I always love soy garlic and its a generous portion. The meat is white and dark so pretty tender and not dry. Lemme tell you, i dont usually eat all my fries but these were AMAZING! Boneless came out faster than bone in but still quick. My friend got lemon pepper and sweet chili wings. The lemon pepper looked GOOD! I wont deny the place looked a bit empty and kinda run down but everything was clean including the bathrooms. Id definitely come back i felt it was reasonable. read more

Running Chicks - Monterey Park - Small combo boneless - Chicken Wings Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Used to have a running chicks in Walnut but now the closest one is here in MPK. Always felt they had some of the best lemon pepper and soy garlic chicken wings so was sad when they closed the Walnut location. They're so good that I'm willing to make the trip down to MPK from Walnut just to get their wings! Not a large store but they do have a few tables if you decide to eat there. Best to eat them fresh and hot if you have a chance. We typically get a combo meal which comes with fries, radish or cole slaw, and a drink. Their lemon pepper chicken wings are my favorite of all Korean fried chicken places. So glad his location is still somewhat close to me. read more

My neighbor and I arrived an hour before closing and they ran out of fried chicken, bummer. We ordered the curry bowl with an added fried egg to share. Because they ran out of fried chicken the cashier gave us complimentary French fries - thank you. One bowl with those fries were enough to fill up two adults. The curry was pretty good but I would much prefer thick steak fries instead of the thinner cut. read more

Running Chicks - Monterey Park - Curry bowl with fried egg AUG2026 - Chicken Wings Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Was looking for dinner adound the area around 8:30pm, but a lot of places start to close around then. Running Chicks was the only place open so my bf and I decided to try it. Running Chicks is located on the front shop facing side of the Mar Center shopping mall right along N Atlantic Blvd. There's street parking (if you're lucky) but a decently sized lot in the back and some more underground parking. Relatively easy to find spots Running Chicks takes up a medium sized space with seating on the left. There is a single use restroom in the back as well. The menu is simple, combos with drumsticks, wings and sides, only wings and some sides. We decided to try the 10 piece boneless wings in sweet spicy and soy garlic sauces and also ordered a curry rice with egg on top. The boneless wings were good, they had a lot of crunch but not an excessive amount of breading. I liked the soy garlic sauce a bit more, though wasn't getting a lot of garlic flavor. The sweet spicy was exactly that, good spice but no ther flavors than sweet...I think it was sorta going for a sweet sour flavor. The curry rice had lots of veggies with pieces of ground beef. It was good as well. The egg went from over easy to overhard as I think the carry over cooking continued to cook on top of the curry rice. Everything also came with a side of pickled raddish. Overall it was good, nothing amazing, which is fine. It's fast casual fried chicken. Would try again if out late and no other options. read more

You can't go wrong with KFC: Korean Fried Chicken. Running Chicks was walking distance from my hotel. (Well, I think it's walking distance. As someone who walks everywhere, friends and family always question if a place truly is within walking distance). Plus, it was one of the few places that was open at 8pm. We got the medium combo, which had 10 pieces of chicken, a side, a complimentary side, and a drink. The menu says fries as the first side, but you can choose rice at no extra cost. The dressed up fries are extra. The complimentary sides are coleslaw or pickled radish. We got the boneless soy garlic, and it was just enough to split between my mom and I. The chicken was crispy and juicy. The soy garlic sauce was savory with a subtle sweetness. The coleslaw was light on the mayo. The ventilation isn't that great inside, so we chose to sit outside, which is the street side. There are a few tables inside that can accommodate groups between 4-6. Considering how quickly the food came out, I imagine turn around time is quick. I'd like to come back and try their chicken with the sweet and spicy sauce. read more

Running Chicks was a great find! Went here while waiting for the mochi next door lol. The food was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying, and everything came out hot and well prepared. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was casual and welcoming. The chicken wings are a little small, but overall a really solid spot for the price. I'd happily visit again. read more

Running Chicks - Monterey Park - Chicken Wings Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Called in to order for pickup because online the food items were a little difficult to understand. But phone call was super easy and quick. I got Lemon Pepper & Soy Garlic : 50 wings. They do orders in increments of 10s (10,20,30,40,50). It comes with a side of coleslaw or radish cubes. I also got 2 side orders of rice. Total came to around $93. I walked in and checked my order, make sure to ask for ranch. They don't automatically give, also I wish they gave me more than just one small container of the radish cubes. The wings were delicious both Lemon Pepper and the Soy Garlic were yummy. Everyone at the party liked it a lot and the size of the chicken wings was great! Would definitely come here to order again! They had a few tables indoor for dine-in. It's a very casual Korean fried chicken spot, if you're looking for a quick and easy meal. read more

My friends and I used to order chicken from here all the time and everyone we would introduce it to loved it. Unfortunately, it seems that they really just gave up on their quality control. The wings got smaller and super dry, and the prices kept going up. Their store smells like a mixture of cleaning supplies so it's hard to stay there for long. As if that wasn't the cherry on top, my partner and I both got food poisoning after having Running Chicks last week. Mine was more severe, I had only the garlic soy and he had only the lemon pepper. Anyways, be warned. read more

Sooo good as takeout!! They are so friendly over the phone which is good because their menu is a bit confusing for me (the photos on Yelp of the menu don't match the menu on delivery apps). I recommend you just call if you're willing to pickup instead of get delivery. Even as takeout, the chicken is ALWAYS crispy! My friends and I love the soy garlic, although I think their consistency on the sauce is too thin bc it always pools are the bottom of the box and I have to dip the wings. I would recommend retossing them or asking for sauce on the side. I noticed recently that they're giving less pickled radish. Other than that, highly recommend these wings for crispy, delicious, and comforting Korean Fried Chicken. Parking: theres always street parking whenever I pull up on Atlantic Blvd, but the plaza has parking in the back, too! Very convenient. read more

The best chicken ever. So crunchy and the sauces were delicious. I would eat this chicken every day. The staff was great and the restaurant was super clean. read more

This review is just my experience today . I used to come here A lot during my highschool days and every now and then . Even knew Donald the owner back then . It's a quick fast chicken joint . I got a small combo and I didn't want a drink, usually I would get more fries instead of a drink or instead of radish . The girl in the front had no idea what I was talking about. Didn't bother to check or ask just said " We don't do that". Maybe things change but I just didn't like how that is or maybe she's wrong . Anyways The chicken was delicious. I never got boneless before and it was juicy and super crispy. I love salt and pepper so savory read more

First time visiting Running Chicks. Three of us dined in, and because I had never been there before, I called ahead of time to ask about the likelihood of getting a table if we went around 5 pm. The woman who answered the phone was very nice! Because it was a holiday (4th of July), I had no idea what it would be like. She said that it should be fine, and that usually they get busy around 6 pm. We ended up getting there about 5:30 pm. It was not crowded, and we got a table to dine in. We ended up ordering the Group Meal #1, which consisted of 10 pieces of wings (we got bone-in), 4 drumsticks, 2 sides and comp side. We opted for two orders of the fries, and the comp side was the pickled radish. Be sure to check in on Yelp to get 1 free wing when ordering wings! They also have a loyalty program--- I received a stamp card and I think I can get a free drink or something next time. The food was absolutely delicious! We got both the soy garlic and the lemon pepper. The chicken was cooked perfectly and juicy on the inside---so good freshly cooked and hot! I loved the soy garlic wings--it was my favorite. JJ commented that they were pretty messy and he needed wet ones. But I didn't mind. The lemon pepper wings were also delicious as well. Drumsticks are really large. The fries were okay---nothing special. We got the regular fries. I love the pickled radish, which goes so well with the chicken. Next time, I would try the coleslaw. I also think the chicken would be great with rice. The Group Meal #1 was a lot of food for the 3 of us, and I took home leftovers. I heated up the wings at home the next day, and they were so good. Ambience was nice, very pleasant and extremely cool, which was such a relief, given the sweltering heat outside. It even got a bit chilly, which was fine with me. There are at least 4 tables that comfortably seat 4 people, and one small table that seats 2. Most of the people were ordering their food to go. I liked dining in, because it was so good fresh and hot! Overall, a great experience. Highly recommended, and I will return. Service was very good and our order was prepared fairly quickly. There is parking in the rear, behind the restaurant. read more

I've visited this spot multiple times for some wings and fries and it's always freshly made to order! I like their lemon pepper and soy garlic flavors for their wings and their garlic fries. Their boneless wings also actually have more meat than breading which I appreciate too. Their staff is always friendly, willing to answer any questions I have about the menu. I think they work pretty efficiently too! Usually don't have to wait too long. Parking: free lot parking in the back read more

Food is always delicious and fresh to order which I appreciate. Love the flavors and my son loves the pickle radish.

Ate here a month ago. I wanted to eat at Kagura but there were too much people waiting already so I decided to just try something else. Basically trickled in due to another booming business ahah, got the 20 combo of boneless chicken wings. i think one was garlic, another bbq, and another lemon pepper. it was wonderfully seasoned. a girl took my order then went back to her laptop bored and a big guy cooked it up and once he was done he ate next to my table ‍. Love the A/C on a hot day and a fly kept me company read more

I was picking up some Thai food a few doors down and saw Running Chick's pop up on my GPS. Curious to see what it was I walked down and saw a cute Korean chicken shop. I decided to try it since the smells coming out the doorway were divine. I ordered a medium combo (10 bone-in wings with half soy garlic and lemon parmesan. Combo came with fries, small container of pickled radish and soda) for about $20. Food was fresh fried, hot and tasty. Good crunch and lemon parmesan was kind of addictive since it was so tangy compared to the soy garlic. Overall nice combo. Plenty of parking behind the strip mall. read more

Running Chicks - Monterey Park - Medium combo with bone-in wings, fries and soda - Chicken Wings Near Me - Monterey Park, California

The soy garlic bone-in wings here were some of the best Korean fried chicken I have ever tried, as the flavor of the soy garlic carried a perfect level of sweetness and the breading outside the chicken was light and maintained perfect crispiness. The other flavors sweet spicy and lemon pepper were weaker. The sweet spicy sauce wings had pretty good flavor but the breading wasn't very crispy. In my opinion, the flavor of the lemon pepper wings was okay and tasted a bit too sour from the lemon. Nevertheless, the soy-garlic bone-in wings were so good that I still think this place deserves a 5/5 Yelp rating. read more

So glad this place was opened on Christmas Day! We had were looking for food. We got the large combo for 2 , $29. 95 bone in. It came with 15 pcs, fries and 2 drinks plus pickles. We got all three flavors: garlic soy, lemon pepper and sweet spicy. The flavours were all great! Love the sweet spicy. I really enjoyed my fried wings and drumsticks. read more

Friend brought wings and drumsticks at $90+. Lemon pepper and spicy sweet flavors. Came with fries. Chicken was average and comparable with other kfc places. Only complaint is didn't get the radish or coleslaw sides. Oversight? read more

Best lemon pepper wings ever! The soy garlic are also yummy. The spicy chili are good, but I prefer the other two. My mom liked those best, though, so it's a matter of preference. I was so sad when the one in Walnut closed, but glad there's still this one in MPK. Some may consider it a bit on the pricy side, but the flavor, texture, etc. is really good - much better than Wingstop, in my opinion. The place is fine and there's adequate seating if you're eating there, which we did. It's also great that they still have the stamp cards. I would give it 5 stars because I really love the wings and fries. Only two things put a slight damper on things for this location. 1) You're not able to redeem the item on the stamp card unless it's already been stamped from before. If you earn stamps to reach a free item on one visit, you have to redeem it on your next visit/purchase. At the Walnut location we were able to use it on the same visit. But I understand. 2) The girl at the counter was polite enough and brought the items to our table, which was appreciated. She wasn't very communicative, though, and a little direction on some things would've been helpful. It wasn't bad service, but it could've been better. Perhaps she had an off day? Although it's further for us to get wings, etc., if I'm in Monterey Park, I'm glad I can get the lemon pepper and soy garlic. read more

Their soy garlic is real good here. We ordered the group meal, which came with wings and drumsticks, and 2 sides.

What's up: Dinner time and we were looking to grab some Korean fried chicken. After a quick search on Yelp, we settled on checking this place out! Parking: Located at the Mar Center, there's plenty of parking available in the covered parking structure located behind the businesses. There's also limited street parking up front on Atlantic Blvd. Environment: There are two entrances: the front is accessible from the street on Atlantic Blvd and the back entrance is from the parking structure. The order counter is located up front with the menus hanging overhead on the TV screens. There's a chalk menu decorating the wall near the back entrance and the restroom is also located near there (ask the staff member for the code). There are a handful of tables for indoor dining and a couple up front for outdoor dining. Cute running chicks decorate the side of the wall. One busy staff member manning the counter to take phone and in store orders (poor guy was constantly busy). The fountain drinks are self served and the machine is located up front near the counter. There's also a stamp card that you can take advantage of; every $10 gets you a stamp towards free food! What was ordered: - Large Combo for Two (we got the bone-in wings in soy garlic and lemon pepper. Both were good but we enjoyed the tang of the lemon pepper over the sweet soy; wasn't too salty either! Fries, drinks, and coleslaw included in the combo) - Bibimbap (yummy. The sauce gave it a bit of spice but it was pretty good) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. It was empty when we first arrived, but the crowd quickly came right after us. Oh and don't forget there's a Yelp Check In offer too! Credit cards are accepted. read more

I saw this spot had great reviews and I was craving wings. A chicken wing or boneless wing restaurant. I had their bim bim bap and it was delicious. I opted for the boneless soy garlic and lemon pepper. They were both cooked perfectly and the flavor was on point. So good I didn't need much sauce. Overall a solid lunch. I'd definitely come back here again to try their other menu items. read more

We got 11 Wings (soy garlic, sweet spicy, lemon pepper). The soy garlic were the best flavor by far. The only thing was that the wings were kinda over cooked. They weren't juicy and were slightly dry. I'm guessing because the wings are small they cook quite fast - should probably lessen the cook time a bit. And they could've been more crunchy crispy on the outside. The fries were good lol. The service was really great. So friendly. The place does seem to need a better ventilation system though. It smells too oily in there and will 100% stick to your hair and clothes if you eat-in. read more

I can't believe it's taken me 2 years after moving to MP to try this place! Probably the BEST lemon pepper wings I've ever had: super crispy and a solid amount of tartness! We also tried the soy garlic and spicy sweet, and really enjoyed those too. We had ordered 50 wings to-go for a few friends, and everyone enjoyed it thoroughly. I've had plenty of Korean chicken wings, and I'm impressed with how well these tasted even to-go. A solid spot to try if you're ever in the mood for wings! read more

Came here to catch up with an old friend. We ordered 20 piece bone in wings for $32 not including tax/tip. Not many flavor options, just soy garlic and lemon pepper sounded good. The last option, sweet spicy, didn't sound good to me as i don't like sweet savory items. They don't have much options when it comes to sides either, just some fries or rice. Would be nice if they served tteokbokki or ramen here. I bet they would make hella money just selling the instant stuff and charging it cheaply ($4-6). Value: Taste wise there was no problem. Flavors were strong and accurate. However why tf are their wings so small? Just look at the photo. I've never seen a smaller wing in my life. Are these Cornish hens or pheasant wings? Honestly I'd rather drive a lil farther to bb.q chicken and get bigger wings even if I have to pay a lil more. Over there they have more options too. Service: Kind quick service Parking: plenty of parking in the back and in the busy street read more

Running Chicks - Monterey Park - Holy shit this wing is so tiny, almost like 2 inches. It's like the wing of a cornish hen. For the price, I'm not sure if this is worth it! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Monterey Park, California

I got their 6pc combo (boneless, soy garlic flavor) with regular fries, radish, and a drink for $13 including tax (as of Feb 2023). You can choose either bone-in or boneless but the bone-in will cost you a couple bucks extra. I personally like the boneless because it's easier to eat and crispier! I opted for regular fries but you can also upgrade that to garlic fries for $2 extra. Combo comes with side of either radish or coleslaw, but what is even Korean fried chicken without radish?! The breading and crispness of the boneless wings were a 10/10. The soy garlic flavor was also 10/10! I would definitely recommend this place for the value and quality of food. I was picking up lunch on the go so I called in 15 mins before since I know Korean fried chicken can take some time to prep. By the time I arrived the food was ready and fresh! Def suggest calling in your order if you're in a rush like I was. read more

Crunchy wings that stay crunchy even with sauce! I love Korean fried chicken and decided to try this place. Location: In a strip mall off Atlantic. There is street parking up from that is convenient if available- just be careful with passing traffic when you open car food. Also available is multilevel garage parking in back. It's just awkward where they placed walkways/elevators so it's a bit if walking around to get to entrance. Next to other eateries so it can get crowded. Service: menu is clear, counter service helpful, and interior clean and bright Food: Wings- the main event here are delicious. I ordered soy garlic and sweet spicy. The soy garlic was my favorite! The sweet spicy was good just a tad spicy for me. What I loved the most is that even 5 hours later, the wings were still crunch despite sauce. My only complaint is I wish the flats were bigger- they were a little small but not the smallest I've seen at wing places Bibimbap- plenty to share between 2-3 people is also having wings. Well balanced between the rice and all the veggies. Fried egg available for $1 add on. read more

This is one of our favorite Asian chicken wings spots. My boyfriend and I have been coming here for a while and we love it! We usually get the bone-in wings with the soy garlic sauce but have lately been ordering the boneless wings. Chicken is always crispy and saucy, and always comes out hot/fresh! Service at the order counter is always great. Inside the shop is always clean and usually empty but lots of phone orders, so I'm sure that customers are like me and typically order and take it home to enjoy. Thanks Running Chicks for always providing such yummy, quality chicken! read more

I upgraded them to garlic butter and lemon pepper fries, and enjoyed the garlic one more. Also upgraded to milk tea as well. As for the wings, the sauces were super delicious. Really enjoyed the soy sauce and spicy ones. Also tried some drumsticks. They were fried perfectly. They were really juicy and crispy but the meat was pretty bland. read more

Love the soy garlic and sweet spicy aaaaa I recently bought some to take to the dodgers game because their prices can get insane and lines are long. It was so fast to order and pickup. Kudos to the guy in the back who made the order because the chicken was still so nicely juicy and crispy even after it got a bit cold. I got some more today because fried chicken tastes better on a rainy day and service is always polite and good. read more
