The best tasty fried chicken place in La Crescenta and you don't have to travel down to Korea Town.

Very good service, excellent chicken. The ability to order a small portion was helpful

Place is REAlly REALLY FIRE. We stopped here for the first time and was seated right away. I ordered me a half fried chicken plate, and I must say, Chicken Day does it right. Chicken was fried and tasty. mashed potatoes were good too. They also sell the spicy garlic fried chicken as well. Menu choices look good. Friendly staff, and cool place to dine and eat. We will be back for more. read more

Decided to finally write a review for Chicken Day! I truly believe this establishment deserves more stars. The chicken is always fresh and flavorful (my favorite is the soy sauce one) and all of their other dishes are very solid. Their family sets are especially great value! We ordered the family meal combo #2 and added two orders of kimbaps (tuna and beef). Both kimbaps were great, but I personally like tuna better. The soup is always good no matter which type you get. I especially like it when I'm sick. The tteokppoki that came with the family set was much better than I originally expected. The rice cakes were soft and the sauce was perfect for dipping the kimbaps and kimari. Customer service is always good and quick, and they are great about taking phone orders --which I strongly recommend doing for small/family businesses anyways since you know the money will go to them and you also don't run the risk of having price inflation by the ordering app. read more

Hands down the best chicken wings spot in the Foothills. The wings are fried to perfection, nice & crispy without heavy oil. The chicken is fresh and not bloodied by the bone like most places. Service has always been friendly. Usually takes about 15-20mins max for your order to be ready depending on how busy it is. For me, it's always tasted fresh - my dad even likes it and he's the biggest food critic. It's also very clean inside which is always a huge plus when serving food. Not sure what some of the bad reviews are all about because I've had nothing but great experiences at this family owned restaurant. I'll continue to support as long as the food and service stay consistently good as it has been. Thank you guys! read more

The food is very tasty, lots of flavors to choose from and a variety of Korean dishes. The service is excellent. The lady who helped us was very friendly and answered our questions and explained how dishes were prepared. The seating area was small but works maybe 7-8 tables of 4 inside. read more

The korean fried chicken from here is the best in LA. I first was going to the Koreatown location but I live closer to this one now and had a craving tonight for the sweet and spicy boneless and got a salad with it. Everything was good! So flavorful and so much for such a great price! I highly recommend this place! read more

Chicken Day - Sweet and spicy 15pc boneless chicken with salad - Korean Near Me - La Crescenta, California

My family and I were craving Korean fried chicken, and have heard great things about Chicken Day. We ordered the original fried chicken combo, 15 piece boneless with Korean Pepper Sauce and Sweet and Spicy, and an order of the veggie kimbap. The chicken had a nice crispy coating and was nice and juicy on the inside. Some pieces were a little overcooked and there was a lot more batter than chicken on the boneless pieces. I really enjoyed the veggie kimbap, it was delicious and very refreshing. Overall, I thought Chicken Day was pretty good and satisfied our craving. read more

This place is easy to miss since it's small and placed in a little lot but it's so worth it to try! I'm surprised this place only has 3.5 stars. If you're someone who sticks to only going to places that are 4 stars up, I would say still give this place a chance! My rating would be 4.5! Ordered take out for dinner tonight and my family really enjoyed it. Chicken is juicy and crunchy. My food was ready in 15 minutes. Original- the OG salty crispy chicken. You can't go wrong with this one. Korean Pepper- Sweet with a little kick of spicy. Pieces vary from big to small, so it's a toss up. For the wings, I saw more big pieces than little pieces. read more

I love this place, I drive from Burbank just to get their sweet and spicy chicken. Just a tip for online ordering; if your real time surpasses your pickup time (for example, I put everything in the cart and drove there but didn't check out til I got off the freeway) your order will not go through. The online order will tell you it did, but it hasn't. I had a confusing mishap with the employees last time and I felt really bad about that. If you are driving for pickup and want your order fresh, I recommend pulling over 10 minutes before you get there to draft up your order and then place it. read more

Wings are beyond tiny, and they're just alright. The kimbab is laughable as well. Eight sorry-looking slices that were all unraveling. read more

Thanks for being open, chicken day! :) I ordered to go whole fried chicken, which came out to about $20.47ish. It came w sides of sauce and pickled radish. I've had their chicken on several occasions and it's consistent every time. I love fried chicken and especially love korean fried chicken! I've never eaten in the restaurant but it's all good even to go! Friendly service. Thank you guys! Chicken day is in a strip mall near a small korean market. There's free parking. read more

The food is excellent and the service is even better. Employees are very helpful and kind. 10/10

Fried chicken is always crispy. Always prompt and courteous. The garlic chicken was good and not sweet read more

Best fried chicken!! Amazing cronchhhh. Don't sleep on the soups either! I crave chicken day every other week.

Keep calm and eat fried chicken. Without further ado let's begin this review. Chicken Day is a korean owned chicken restaurant. They're located at a tiny plaza on Foothill blvd in La Cañada. Indoor vibe and layout/design were banal but don't let the at fool you because they serve good fried chicken. I've been to their new SGV location and therefore I know their fried chicken is great. I ordered their Lunch combo #2 (4 drumsticks, steam rice, coleslaw and soda). It was as tasty, crunchy and deliciously flavorful. Prices were very competitive. Parking lot is very limited but had no trouble finding a spot. Staff (a young man and a middle aged woman) were amiable, competent and professional. However, my memory serves me correctly they failed to follow health covid (mask) protocol. Service was mildly slow. Serving was average. Overall, I had a smooth lunch order take out. I still recommend this chicken place. read more

No idea how this place gets such low ratings. The guy complaining about how the workers should come pick up his chicken from his house was pretty funny and incredibly entitled. I lived in Korea for a few years and had fried chicken from a lot of different places. The fried chicken here is great and the sauce is the best I've ever had. I'm not sure how people expect Michelin star customer service when they're picking up some fried chicken of all things. If you'd rather get boring chicken with pre-made and processed sauce, then go to a big chain like Kyochon as other clueless Elite members have alluded to. Tl;dr - Lots of entitled children complain about this place that has solid chicken and the best sauce. read more

Chicken Day is your no frills Korean fried chicken spot. Especially if you don't want to go into the craziness of Koreatown on a weekend. They have served great service and great quality food everytime I've eaten there. Dine in or take out-- it doesn't matter. Quality doesn't waiver! read more

Food is always hot and delicious! And On time! Will definitely be back for more! I recommend the teriyaki flavor!

Much is about the same here. I have not eaten here in years, I used to sneak out here for lunch with my friend on work days. The decor has changed a bit and a few new offerings. I ordered a sweet and spicy boneless. It was as it was years ago. Tasty juicy chicken with the right sauce. The chicken was moist and juicy. My friend tried a newer flavor, I don't recall what i was ( I think it was spicy garlic?) but I tried it and it was delicious. This may a very homey place, but their servings compete with of a lot of the better known places. read more

Always get exactly what is expected! Chicken is delicious and if you can handle spicy I highly recommend the drumsticks with volcano sauce!

OG spot in La Crescenta! Hands down the best Korean Fried Chicken in the Valley. The owners are super sweet and will help you decide what to get. This place never closes and is always opened no matter what holiday it is. Everything is made fresh daily. We ordered the half and half, a side beef gimbap and chicken soup. I would totally recommend this restaurant. So delicious! read more

The food was delicious!!! The spice was kicking but honestly it was still flavorful and I loved it! I definitely recommend this place. The tteokbokki was favorite and I think it was worth the price. Amazing place read more

Quick lunch yesterday and the only ting was missing was a bit more sauce. I liked everything else . Thought it would be worth leaving a review! read more

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 because it's the best bet for Korean fried chicken within 10~ miles. Through many visits of trial & error when I used to live in La Crescenta, I've finally realized that the only way I like to order my chicken here is: Teriyaki sauce (the old menu said soy sauce) flavored -- CHICKEN WINGS. If you get anything else, whether it's the combo or drumsticks, be warned that you will end up with LARGE ass pieces of drumsticks that taste no good (proportion is off; not enough skin, too much flavorless meat). With the chicken wings, it comes with small wings & drumsticks, which gives the perfect skin to meat ratio. They fry the wings perfectly so that the skin is just crispy enough and packed w/ flavor. The white pickled radish they give you is a necessity to the meal; it gives a very refreshing cleansing after each bite of meat. With the full order, it comes out to $16.90 and half order is $8.45. Very delicious and satisfying. However, that being said, I've tried their other flavors including the sweet & spicy sauce chicken which is NO good. The sweet & spicy sauce makes the skin super soggy and the sauce isn't even spicy at all, just too sweet. They also sell some other items including kimbap and samgyetang (Korean ginseng chicken soup). Kimbap is average. Korean ginseng soup is made kind of differently here -- it has a large amount of the sticky rice, a little too much so it almost seems like a porridge. Not the biggest fan but tastes good enough if you don't have expectations of what it should taste like. Verdict... Reasonably priced, yummy fried Korean style chicken? I'll be back whenever I'm in the area again! read more

Good, solid, korean -style fried chicken joint where you get much more bang for your buck compared to love letter chicken and the likes. Nevertheless its lackluster menu and over priced kimbap ( think sushi roll minus the raw fish) separates this place from its competitors. Not bad at all in a pinch ( gets the job done, it's crunchy, savory, etc...) but also not a place I'd drive out of my way to visit. Decent neighborhood chicken joint 3.5 stars read more

My son suggested to order the fried chicken wings here and we love it. We got the fried chicken wings and the garlic & spicy sauce chicken wings. Every boxed order comes with pickled radish side. Will definitely order again and try other flavors they have on their menu. However, my son and his friends noticed that the wing got small in size. They mentioned wing size used to be big.., Wing shortage ...? read more

I ordered fried chicken the first time and it was cold. I went back after a month or so and ordered the cheese balls. The picture had 5 cheese balls...so I assumed I would get 5 for $4.99. I got 3! It was 3 cheese balls for $4.99. Why do they have a picture of 5 cheese balls with the price of $4.99 if they only give you 3? I went back and asked thinking it was a mistake. She said it was 3 for $4.99. I didn't want to argue...BUT the pic has 5 cheese balls. It's very deceptive and 3 for $4.99 is expensive. But I give it 1 star for misleading the consumer and being deceptive. read more

Multiple times I have come to this place and my order bas been wrong. So while I order ahead I end up waiting an additional 30 mins waiting for my ordered and redone. It is frustrating and while I want to come back, I likely won't come back after this last time. read more

Ordered half boneless sweet and spicy chicken, 2 beef gimbob, and fries. Everything was delicious and very generous portions. read more

Amazing fried chicken takes a long time but totally worth it. Teriyaki is the jam! Bizarre the reviews are so bad

I'm always down for trying Korean chicken places and was pleasantly surprised to find this place through Yelp. I went on a whim on a Friday night around 7pm and ordered for take out. The staff was friendly and the estimated time of wait 15 minutes was pretty spot on. I know many other people have commented that there isn't much to the decor and it is far from modernized but there's plenty of room for people to comfortably sit down and eat. The tables are wide, chairs and booths are comfortable and they do have a TV for entertainment. When I brought the chicken back to my hotel to eat I'm not sure if it was the 15 minute drive back but the breading wasn't as crispy as I would have liked. But the near was very tender. I did half original fried and the other half spicy. The sauce on it is pretty tasty. That tuna kimbap though! It is a must try! It seems made to order. When I brought it back the seran wrap was steaming. Definitely try their kimbap and chicken. I really appreciated their service. I asked for an extra radish and they don't charge extra here. In Chicago, they charge for that for sure lol Come support a nice mom and pop shop. Beer pairs well with Korean chicken. Conveniently there's a mom and pop grocery shop next door where you can pick up some cold Hite! Hope you try it and like it! read more

Best Korean fried chicken I've ever had I live quite far from the area but whenever I'm in town to visit my family I do stop by and they're always so good! My favorite is teriyaki chicken. I usually call in and order and their pick up is always quick. read more

The Chicken Soup with Perilla is great. And it is great to have a location on the La Canada and La Crescenta border. Chicken wings are very good and the sauces are stellar. Might be the best wings in the area. read more

Service was okay, but food was pretty good! The Korean style chicken here is flavorful and fried well. It had just the right crispy-ness on the outside and tenderness on the inside. It's a bit pricey in terms of portion. If you are really craving Korean style chicken I would say it's worth it once in a while. read more

Maybe the worst Korean fried chicken I've ever had. Maybe the worst fried chicken I've ever had. Had this place a couple times before maybe 5-6 years ago. Instead of DoorDashing from BBQ chicken ordered from here instead. Disappointed. $30 for overly cooked dry (I didn't even know deep fried chicken could be dry till today) and tiny wings that were mostly batter. It does seem they gave me more pieces to make up for it but if they're inedible, what's the point. read more
