We came in on a Friday evening. It was not very busy, lots of seating available. Bright and clean interior. Did not find service to be friendly or helpful. We got the sliders and the Fried chicken. The sliders were really good, the chicken had great flavor and texture. However the fried chicken was the worst we have ever had. We have been to Nashville and this is not how the fried chicken is. I feel like they battered the chicken the way you would batter fish and chips. The flavor was off and texture was not desirable at all. The best thing about the fried chicken was actually the pickles that they threw on top of them. It was honestly so disappointing.

Got #Combo #1 Sandwich & Fries, great size definitely a filler

Food was delicious, services was ok since I just ordered to go. But the location looked cleaned and only down side they need AC it was definitely to warm inside I don't think I would be able to eat comfortably. I will definitely go back for pick up again, since I only live around the corner food was still nice and warm when I got home.

Order receipt, with wrong toppings

Frequent Customer FIVE STAR food but today I had a ONE STAR experience where they got my order wrong with me being a picky eater. Usually, I tend to check my food before I leave but today was one of those days when i trust it's made right and get home to find out your order is wrong. Womp Womp Me:(

Combo #3 Three Tenders and Fries

Food always takes too long to come out. The Fries were semi warm, tasted like they were in the microwave. My chicken was burnt. Ive tried this place three times and it has always given me a stomach ache. They gave another person my order. I used their restroom once and the second time i asked to use it they said they have no public restrooms

#1 Sandwich and Fries

I had been craving some good Mac and cheese for a while and this place definitely nailed it. The Mac and cheese was cheesy, gooey, flavorful and they were not shy on the toppings . The place itself was not really too attractive to eat at inside so I took it to go. Service was pretty standard, I had never been there before and would have liked some recommendations but it's all good and long as the food is good.

What a delight! ALS Hot Chicken is an absolute gem in Corona. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome--they're genuinely friendly and clearly passionate about what they serve. You can tell they take pride in their food, and it shows in every bite. The Nashville hot chicken is on another level--fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. Perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of kick. Hands down, this is the best hot chicken spot in Corona. Also run next door to crumble cookies for gelato and some cookies to cool down!

Chicken and Combo #4 Two Waffles & Two Tenders

Decided to order in from Al's hot chicken and we got the sliders and the chicken and waffles. I can't speak to the ambience of the restaurant because it was delivery. I also can't speak to the servers as well. I will say the chicken was hot and delicious. The waffle was outstanding. You could taste the maple and it had pockets of pearl sugar, oh so good. The sliders tasted like they were on a brioche bun, the chicken on the sliders were delicious as well. I do wish there was a little more sauce on the sliders. My complaint about the delivery was the fries.... They tasted old and under season that was really disappointing. I think the next time I'll go into the restaurant and get my food fresh, but I will give them another try.... you should try them too.

Went to Al's Hot Chicken for the first time and wow it was so delicious. I have not been able to find a good hot chicken spot in Corona, so I was really excited to try this place. The customer service was amazing. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and since we were new customers they even offered us a mac and cheese to try. We really appreciated that thoughtful gesture. The mac and cheese was perfectly cooked with well seasoned pasta and so much flavor. The chicken was cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It was not just spicy, it was truly flavorful. The fries were also seasoned really well and paired perfectly with the meal. Overall, such a great experience. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious hot chicken in Corona.

Delish Mac & Cheese and some Al's Loaded Fries for the wifey. Thank you!

Everything about my experience was awesome. Only ordered a piece of chicken and one waffle. Sat down to eat real quick before grocery shopping and the food was so delish. I got medium spice which was perfect. The team was cool, and all of a sudden the owner decided to give me a couple items that they had made in accident. I took food home and fed the wife. Everyone's happy! 5/5 experience 5/5 food Ambience was 4/5 and ONLY because the music was a tad loud. It was during downtime so I was the only one in the dining room, but if I brought my wife here it may be hard to have a conversation with her. Otherwise, super clean restaurant, plenty of seating and clean restrooms I'm new to the community, I'll be back again :)

Slider combo! So good

Two in our party of 6 ordered this, one hot, one cold. Basil pesto, done right, is a fave of mine, and this one was very fresh and flavorful. Loved the roll, requested it be toasted and add a slather of mayo as well. The shredded chicken filling turned out juicy, not dry. The two of us were very impressed. The others had their own ideas. A Philly cheese steak, an Italian classic, a Beef and mushroom, a Chicken Parmesan. Minor grumbling over the two beef sandwiches, the Philly did not have enough cheese (I agreed), the Beef & Mushroom was a bit short on mushrooms. I tasted most of them and as for the Chicken Parm, I simply did not care for the marinara. Bottom line, I definitely will return for anything with pesto. Prices are very reasonable. We each chose the 8" size (medium). They were quite filling, with most of our party bringing one half home. The fries were amazing, a big hit as well. Both kinds, regular shoestring style and thicker beer battered with some skin, were seasoned nicely and deliciously fresh. If I had to choose, the beer batter style was the better. Carbonated drinks are serve-yourself, so yes, refills. There are a respectable number of tables and booths for seating inside, but none outside. After all these years, glad I tried them. We shall return!

After over a year, I finally came back to this location. I didn't want anything except the Pork…read moreBelly Banh Mi sandwich. Once again, I stand by claim that this is the most delicious sandwich there is! Specifically at this location, they have it down right. I tried this sandwich at a different Carrot and Daikon and it just didn't hit the way it does at this Corona location. Maybe I'm crazy, but if you have never tried this spot, try the Pork Belly here. The pork belly crunch followed by the fat that melts in your mouth, complimented with a slightly sweet and mostly savory sauce. Of course the carrot, Daikon, jalapeno and cilantro with the fresh banh mi make this top notch!! Wowza!

Full disclosure: I'm always suspicious of places that straddle the "fusion" food fence. I find…read more"fusion" usually translates to smothering something in an off-the-shelf international aisle sauce or wrapping it in a tortilla. Now, let me be clear, this restaurant does NOT mention the term fusion - at all. However, their menu whispers, "Hey there..." Crispy pork belly, lomo saltado, spam and egg. And, oh, brothers and sisters, they have gotten as close to paying the proper homage to all fusion cultures as I've seen. SPAM AND EGG: I'm chubby so SPAM is like my kryptonite. I had to have it. This sandwich threw me for a look. I'm used to other places overcooking the spam. NOT so at C&D. The spam was juicy. The fried egg was fluffy. The spicy sauce was genuinly spicy. I loved it so much that I've had it twice in three days. CRISPY PORK: I love the Chinese/Filipino Crispy Pork. The pork was nice and juicy. The skin was crunchy. Really great flavor. The only drawback was my own fault...of eating it cold because I had to eat the Spam and Egg sandwich first. LOMO SALTADO: I've got this sandwich sitting on my counter calling to me, in the queue while I finish my 2nd Spam and Egg Sandwich. I will come back to this review later today to fill in this blank. UPDATE: It was good! The meat was soft and juicy. Not quite the lomo saltado meat or flavor I'm used to or would expect, so the sandwich's name is a little misleading, but the flavor is good nonetheless. VIETNAMESE COFFEE (Large): I liked it. Yep. Not as overly sweet as I'm used to at Mr. Bagguette in LA, and that's a great thing. The only drawback is that it has a caffeine KICK. I felt the caffeine flowing through my veins 10 minutes after I took my first sip. Bread: In banh mi, the bread is the make-or-break. Here, the bread is not your typical medium to hard crunchy exterior and soft interior. The bread is on the softer side on the outside. It is a great change in pace for me because I haven't cut the top palette of my mouth like I usually do with harder bread. AND...that means that the sandwich doesn't lose it's character when I ate the sandwich cold later. STAFF: Very friendly! They are there to serve the customer. I've been greeted with a smile and genuine happiness. Great work C&D. You have a customer!

I got the strawberry shortcake crepe and she got the Dubai chocolate one. Both were amazing! The owner was very kind, patient as we tried to figure out what to order and gave us great recommendations. He did not hold back on any of the toppings! You get a very good amount of fresh strawberries. I love berries and whipped cream so much so this was perfect. I didn't want strawberry sauce so he gave me chocolate sauce. They have a really nice selection of sweet crepes and even some savory crepes. I was surprised to see specialty sandwiches and paninis on the menu as well. Pictures looked good and price point seemed fair. Based on generous serving for crepes, I think the sandwich would have a fair amount of meat. The shop is very clean (bathroom is clean too), and cute decor. The red dining tables are a great pop of color! I think a bold cafe sign would catch more attention. If I was driving then I may have gone by. The design is cute but the type of sign is more for a pop up. I'm not from the area but I'd totally go back and Definitely recommend anyone to grab a bite from here:)
