I come here for the mango habanero fries. They always hit the spot and I always have a little for later. Bang for your buck

Karon A.

Let me just start by saying I am sooo happy I found this spot! My gf and I ordered the hot wings/ lemon pepper wings w/ fries and a drink. Upon getting the wings I was a bit sketch because they were jumbo wings, but they were cooked well done, juicy and to perfection! Both of the wings sauces were flavorful as well! THE FRIESSSS! 10 out of 10, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, cooked to perfection once again! The service was nice, quick and helpful. The inside of the place is very nice. It has a cozy feeling to it! My gf and I decided to eat out at their outside seating which also had a nice ambiance and vibe! We have found a new wing spot and will be visiting here again for sureeee!

Maritza C.

I am so sad to have to write this review. I use to love this place but lately the chicken is not seasoned enough they don't put enough sauce and have to buy extra sauce because only the tops is lightly covered and before they would put enough sauce to cover the buffalo fries.

I've had this pulled pork sandwich two or three times already and it's become a real favorite because it's both sweet, filling and delightfully messy!

Not satisfied with my order of the 10 pc lemon pepper wings combo. My drink was nasty, maybe the ice was dirty or even the machine/nozzles. My wings were nasty as well. Very big in size, no flavor and lackluster taste. The fries didn't have enough seasoning either. I spent $24 here which is almost $30, for food that I didn't finish or enjoy. Unfortunately, I won't be returning here, and it's sad because this was my first visit.

Omg me and my husband went yesterday. This place is so bomb. They even bring it to your table being the only cashier and constantly checking if we needed anything. Will definitely go again. And the food was delicious.

Great food, service is slow because it's only one cashier but the ambiance is nice and it's family owned.

Buffalo chicken fries (regular portion): huge quantity, great meal!

Josh B.

Huge quantity and great bang for your buck. Came here on a Monday evening for dinner and was fairly impressed by my experience. The guy working the front cashier was very polite. There's seating available indoors and outside, although I found it to get kinda stuffy inside. Ordered the regular portion of the Buffalo Chicken Fries, which is a sizable meal all by itself. The fries are a thicker cut and are smothered with a mix of buffalo and ranch sauce and bits of fried chicken. Spent less than $10 and went to bed with a food baby that my body is still working to get rid of. I would definitely recommend sharing this with someone else. Overall, great meal! Parking: Free street parking available in the area. There's also a private lot available on the side of the building.

Not the best wings I've had...but they are enjoyable. The only thing that really stood out to me was the exceptional customer service and their ranch. I got lemon pepper and mango habanero.

Decided to try the wings here despite all the negative reviews. I like to give businesses at least one shot. I ordered 10 lemon pepper wings. It's made to order so I waited about 10 mins before my food arrived. The wings were small so that was to my delight. However the quality of wings were poor and inedible. Like I wouldn't even feed my dead dog this food. Felt like they either gave me some really old wings or these wings suffered from freezer burns. I paid +$19 for 10 wings which was on the expensive side but considering I only was able to consume 4 of the 10 pieces due to starvation this is definitely not worth my time or money. I gave it 1 star because their celery was very fresh and blue cheese was tasty. But I didn't come here for either of those things. I came here for good tasty succulent wings and I didn't receive that. I will be going back to Wings World. Even though they charge a little more for their wings they're always good! read more

Only reason why I gave them 4 stars is because the fries were way over salted. I personally thought it was me but I had three people try them without telling them and they all said the same thing. Pulled pork sandwich was delicious, but I will say, the photo from the owner looks better tasting than what I had. I didn't know it had slaw, mine didn't. Baked beans were also good, not the best, but they were ok read more

The only thing that was good was my lemon pepper wings and the ribs, but other than that the customer service is really slow, I waited over 35 minutes for my ribs that I ordered with my wings. The hot isn't hot enough if you are ordering the "hot" wings. I appreciated that the fries are baked than fried. But if you ordering for your lunch break go somewhere else cause you will be waiting 20+ for your food. For a new place they need improvement on waiting time and food quality. read more

My brain quickly got nostalgic with fond images and feel-good vibes and I knew I had to stop by. My mom brought me to Pioneer Chicken when I was a child and I remember how crispy the chicken used to be. Sometimes, leftovers made it into my lunchbox. She knew how to win my heart through my belly even back then. I haven't had Pioneer Chicken since the early 90s, and I was pleasantly surprised when I dug my teeth into the drumstick. It was super crisp -- exactly how I remembered it. And the iconic orange batter was the same yummy recipe, possibly crispier than KFC's. The biscuit was my next favorite and I don't remember it being THIS good with its hint of honey flavor. The mashed potatoes and gravy have not changed, but the coleslaw was a tad different. It used to be chopped into mini squares. Now it's shredded cabbage, but it has the same light mayo flavor. Also, I love that they use less plastic Their side item containers are made of paper, both top and bottom, which also adds to the retro vibe. Loved looking at the old school photos on the wall that date back to the 1960s with Pioneer Pete, The Flintstones, and Muhammad Ali, aka the OG "G.O.A.T". It was cool to learn that Jessica, who took my order at the register, was part of a bigger franchise history. Her dad owned this location, and passed it on to his son. Family-owned for the last 38 years, this location is one of the originals. And one of the last two still standing. The nostalgia of this place will always have a special place in my heart. I'll have to come back for their fish & chips and maybe even try the gizzards on my next trip down here.

Food 0.1/10 Service 0/10 Cleanliness 0/10 Don't recommend this spot to anyone

What a hidden gem at the ROW DTLA! Stopped by with some friends and I tried the golden chicken…read moresandwich, which consists of Japanese style fried chicken on a golden turmeric bun, picked daikon, water grass, alfalfa spouts, lemon aioli, and miso jam. You can make it spicy for an extra dollar. The sandwich was absolutely amazing - the chicken was so juicy and flavorful and everything from the bun to the sprouts and pickled daikon inside made it such a yummy burst of flavors and textures. 2 hour free parking at the Row parking structure which makes visiting convenient!

Crispy, juicy, and somehow not as heavy as fried chicken usually feels. It's the kind of meal that makes you think, "Maybe I should eat better," while actively eating fried chicken. The place is small, the menu is focused, and nobody is trying to reinvent food with foam or tweezers. They're just making really good chicken. It gets busy at the Row, but that's because people have figured it out. You walk in hungry and walk out wondering if it's too soon to come back tomorrow. I left full, happy, and with exactly zero regrets.

Sampa

Who says Filipino food can't be considered fine dining? Chef Josh Espinosa is showcasing how the…read moredishes we're accustomed to can be prepared with an elevated approach. Sampa is located in the Arts District near the intersection of S Hewitt St and E 5th right next to Urth Cafe. There's a parking lot directly across the street from the restaurant but you can also park around the corner by Arts District Park for $5. If it's your first time visiting Sampa, you have to be open minded towards the concept itself. Yes, the dishes here are smaller in portion and costs more than your typical fast casual spot. All the servers here are attentive and offer to help with what to order if you're unsure. For dinner, the Crispy Pasta is their take on crispy pata but served with spinach tagliatelle. The crab fat fried rice is a no brainer and depending on the night you come, I highly recommend the Sinigang xiaolongbao special. You don't have to be Filipino to appreciate what Sampa is doing for the culture, just come by and see for yourself.

Sampa Restaurant…read more This is a review for my experience having brunch at Sampa Restaurant. Sampa specializes in Filipino dishes. "Sampa" is short for sampaguita which is the national flower of the Philippines. WORDS TO DESCRIBE SAMPA: Elevated dining, speakeasy vibes, quality food and service PARKING: Parking can be difficult since it is close to the Arts District, you may want to park in the Public Parking Lot areas FOOD: Lechon fried rice: This dish was exquisite! I loved all of the colors in the rice, which include the fried pork belly, the golden egg yolks, and the pigments of the atchara (atchara: pickled vegetables such as papaya, scallions, and carrots). When I took my first bite of the fried rice, the blend of all of them together was scrumptious! Yes order this dish! 5/5 STEAKSILOG: I would order just the steak alone! The skirt steak was savory, juicy, and mouthwatering! Yummy! 4.5/5 Kare Kare Tamales: This dish was delicious! Kare Kare is one of my favorite Filipino dishes, so when I saw it paired with tamales I was immediately intrigued. The presentation was beautiful. The flavor was rich and unique. The oxtail was tender and the peanut sauce paired well with the savoriness. 4/5 CHICKEN AND PANDAN WAFFLE: This plate was their take on chicken and waffles. The pandan flavor was there, but I wish the waffle was thick, instead it had a crispy thin cookie like texture. 3.5/5 DRINKS: Bartender has skills! Beauty in the booze! I appreciated the artistry in creating our beverages. I loved the details of the flowers and layers of color. Cheers! All in all I had a great time eating at Sampa! I loved the food and service! Maraming Salamat! Sobrang Sarap!

First of all, the vibes are sooooo good! From the dope music to the staff, I felt at home walking in the door. I love how the restaurant has an open air feel to it, where even when sitting inside, you're also right next to the outdoor spaces. I ended up sharing the Taiwanese popcorn chicken with my husband and ordered the wonton noodle soup. The soup was pretty good and fresh, but popcorn chicken stole the show! Just delicious. My husband got the Dan Dan noodles which were also super flavorful.

We were greeted by a friendly hostess who took our order and told us to look for any spot we'd like. The Dan Dan noodles came out quick and was delicious. The noodles had a nice chewy texture and the thick peanut sauce and chili oil that coated it made it super scrumptious. The freshness of the cucumber and herbs cutting through the rich sauce balanced it out. The pan fried pork buns however were rather forgettable. The meat was juicy but I was left wanting more flavour in both the meat and the buns. I also wish the bottoms were a bit crispier. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to try their breakfast menu and other items though. Because peeking at the other tables they offerings looked delicious.
