I was craving wings but really was tied of eating at wing stop, so decided to try something new. I will say upon picking up my order the ladies inside the restaurant were extremely nice, and greeted me with huge smiles. The only reason I'm giving them 3 stars is I just thought the chicken lacked a little seasoning for my taste. Fried to perfection just wished it had a little more flavor. read more

Chicken Day will truly make your day so much better. Upon walking up to the restaurant, I was underwhelmed to say the least. The sign on the front wasn't even working and it looked like I was the only one in the parking lot. Entering, however, changed the way I saw this place. I walked in and the old lady at the front greeted me with a warm smile and my food already laid out in front of me (I ordered online). I felt the family feel. And the food WOW. So much better than what the other reviews say. The Korean Pepper was to die for and I will absolutely be coming here many more Chicken Days to come. 8.7/10 read more

Never disappoints. I usually order fried chicken wing and leg combo with sauces on the side! I like their other menu options too. Perfect for a quick dinner when youre craving wings or wanna bring something to a get together with friends and family. read more

It's good! It's not the bomb, but it's okay. It's in a small plaza next to a small korean market. The spicy marinated chicken is really tasty. I suggest you get that! They give plenty of the white radish to cool down your mouth while eating the fried chicken. It's crunchy and pairs well with the chicken. I would come back to try other items. Parking is limited, but people leave fairly quickly so just be a bit patient. You can also street park. read more

Good food, drumstick fried chicken is my favorite, good service friendly people Will be back for sure! read more

The chicken is always so good. We usually get the teriyaki drumsticks and boneless fried chicken for us and the kids. My go to chicken place in the area. read more

A-OK in my book. If you live in the La Crescenta/La Canada area and are craving Korean fried chicken then this place is your place. If you live closer to LA, then there are definitely better places to check out. They have lunch specials starting at $6.99, which isn't too bad. Four tiny drumsticks sauced to your liking, a small scoop of rice, some salad with some Thousand Island-like dressing, a cup of pickled radish, and a drink. Your sauce choices are Sweet and Spicy, Teriyaki, Korean Pepper, or plain. If you don't want Korean fried chicken they sell other items such as gimbap (Korean rolls), donkasu (pork cutlet), ddukbokki (spicy rice cakes with fish cake), and samgyetang (ginseng-chicken soup). Quality of the food can be hit-or-miss. I've had friends order family meals here only to find some unedible pieces in the box. Overly fried. Like the leftover unidentifiable pieces of fried leftovers you find at the bottom of the fryer. Overall, not bad. They share a small lot along with a bunch of other stores like Seoul Market and Sakana. Parking isn't too horrible for lunch; not sure how it is for dinner. read more

Chicken Day - Lunch combo. Four drumsticks (sweet and spicy sauce) rice, salad, and pickled radish (in top right corner). More like a kid's meal........ - Korean Near Me - La Crescenta, California

Love the lunch specials. Always hits the spot. Crunchy chicken. Perfectly cooked rice. Yummy side salad. Friendly staff.

Absolutely amazing chicken and sauce. Chicken is so fresh and juicy. The bbq is absolutely one of the most amazing BBQ sauces I have ever tasted. I highly recommend this place. Customer service is top notch. read more

How to got just chicken wings nothing really special kind of dry very small wings I'll probably not be ordering from here again

I love Korean chicken wings and this location of Chicken Day is very convenient. I always get the sweet and spicy (yang yeom) wings but they offer several other flavors. The wings here are always pretty big and the meat is very moist. They don't skimp on the sauce and give an extra tub of pickled radish for free if you ask. I recommend calling ahead to order because it can take 20-30 minutes. Other than chicken, they have a few other things on the menu. Their deokboki (spicy rice cake) and kimmari (fried seaweed roll with glass noodles inside) are also pretty good. read more

Best Korean fried chicken in the area, ive been coming here at least once a month and the quality is always consistent. I always go with the original wings. There is another chickenday in Ktown, but this location is more generous, as they dont charge extra for the sauce or Mu (korean radish). read more

I enjoy the teriyaki chicken wings. Very crispy and tasty! The sweet and spicy sauce is delicious as well as the crunchy radish side dish. They are better now about taking names with the take out order. A few times I ordered ahead and they accidentally gave it to someone else. I usually stop by the nearby Korean grocery store to pick up extra banchan and other goodies. read more

Best Korean sweet and hot fried chicken! They do well in the handful of menu items but the sweet and spicy chicken is their specialty.

Very courteous personnel. I ordered the fried chicken drumsticks lunch special, to go. Got home chicken is crispy outside and very juicy inside. Taste fantastic as expected. Reasonable price too! read more

Solid spot, good fried chicken wings. The whole bird is split into 16 instead of 8 pieces, a bit of an adjustment. Crunchy, flavorful. The fries are seasoned and have a unique flavor, sort of cajun meets asian. I'd recommend trying, but I wasn't as blown away as I thought I would be. read more

I wish Everyday can be Chickenday! I would compare Chicken Day to Kyochun Chicken BUT way more flavorful and plateful (more servings than Kyocun's half plate serving). This place is located right between the border line of La Cresenta and La Canada. There is no other place like Chicken Day in Northern Mountainous areas including my neighborhood Glendale. I had to try ALL Three flaors: Regular, BBQ and Soy Sauce. Reqular was somewhat like KFC but less oil and less salty. The dipping BBQ sauce was a great addition. AND the sweet & sour korean radish is the best! It refreshes your mouth every other after munching in so much of the chiken meat. BBQ flavor was very sweet and there was that smoky bbq wood flavor to it. I LOVED it~ Soy Sauce is unbelievable. It has this unique soy sauce and garlicky KBBQ flavor, but not exactly Burgoghi or Garbi. Very diffrent. Try also "Gimbob" (Korean style California rolls). Make your Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, THE Chiken Days!! =) read more

Not bad, but definitely a place to grab take-out rather than eating at the location. Tried the soy/teriyaki wing and spicy and preferred the teriyaki best. Certainly won't make it a habit since they are all fried. Nothing here is grilled or broiled. Parking is shared with the local korean market and other establishments. A bit tight at times, but the turnover in parking is pretty fast. Happy fried chicken eats!! read more

Chicken Day - To-go box - Korean Near Me - La Crescenta, California

Very good chicken, freshly fried. Meh service -and decor, but better now that the cashiers generally speak English since the second generation seems to be taking over. Not as good as the best k-town chicken places (white meat is a little dry, crispy but too thick batter), but given the lack of a kfc or other place in las crescenta/Las Cañada, this is the best you can do! read more

Well maybe I should have read the reviews before coming here, I'm not sure why but I expected much more from this place. I've had this place bookmarked for a while now... WHY?, I'm not sure! but I knew I'd be up in this area today so I decided to go check it out. So my Wife and I walk in WOW nobody there got the place, TV all to ourselves, so we take a moment to browse the enormous menu http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/KaeTBVZdOSixe0CLmKLexA?select=eFQCSm7LXIZz3_205VMHTA OH and they do have a "New" item a Korean style sushi roll................ My wife is giving me the L@@K so I ask, Ummm do you have sides?, Ahhh NO but only Steamed Rice, OK. Please let me have a 20pc "SPICY" Chicken Wings! http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/KaeTBVZdOSixe0CLmKLexA?select=iR5h8IFFrWwGtfZiM2CB6g So the wings arrive "pretty small" and after a couple of bites all I'm getting is sweet and NO spice!. So I asked if they have any Chili etc... and we were given http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/KaeTBVZdOSixe0CLmKLexA?select=r1yGR3ww81j1GF039pkDog which was pretty good, tasted like a Chili/Garlic paste. It also came with a small plate of lettuce topped with a pineapple sauce/dressing guess it's suppose to be a salad, they also give you some diced Korean radish Ahhh it was OK but not my thing. So after adding the Chili/Garlic paste the "Spicy" Chicken Wings were pretty good, though as you can see from the picture that sauce is very sticky and messy. 3-Stars for the small chicken wings, with "0" ZERO side dishes I can't see how people could rate them any higher, if I'm going to a place strictly for some wings! it won't be here. read more

Great service and food! Got the lunch special with wings and my son got beef kimbap with no egg.

Disappointing since it was my first time here and I've heard nothing but good things about this place. Service sucked. We waited for over a good 10 minutes before the worker brought the menus over. Then another million years for him to take our order. We found a hair in the radish dish and he just took it back and replaced it as if it was no big deal. The chicken was also whatevs. I didn't like any of the sauces. Maybe it would've tasted better if I wasn't already irritated with the service. read more

We were craving Korean chicken and after years of living so close to this place we finally decided to give it a try. We ordered a half order of boneless sweet and spicy chicken, french fries and beef gimbob. The meal also came with pickled radish. All were delicious and we are looking forward to returning. Even though the sauce name says spicy the chicken was not so if you're looking for more heat pick a different flavor. We had already made a side salad to go with the meal so what we got from Chicken Day was plenty of food for 3 adults. The only thing we added was gochujang sauce which we felt the gimbob needed. read more

Tasted like they re-fry unsold chickens from day before. Compared to BBQ Chicken Franchise (also another korean chicken brand), it tasted terrible. Hard to chew and meat isn't juicy at all. I went to the store to order and the guy who seemed like owner of the store was very unfriendly and made me feel uncomfortable. I remember this place used to be good, but it seems like under new ownership now it's terrible. Wouldn't recommend to anyone I know. read more

I'd take Korean fried chicken over KFC, Roscoe's, Poppey's any day. This chicken is made to order. Doesn't get any juicier than that. Takes about 15 minutes but well worth the wait. Not as good as Kyochon but good enough. You can choose between soy garlic or spicy or both. No matter what you order, it's all good. read more

Comparing apples to apples, Chicken Day doesn't come close to most of its competing restaurants in LA. I met up with a group there and sampled the fried, spicy, soy chicken, and ddukbokgi. Fried and dry Not spicy Soy gets a pass My mom makes better ddukbokgi, which is not saying much. I guess the reason why I don't eat Korean food in La Crescenta is that most places can't deliver a good meal. read more

This place is a gem... I am a fan of fried chicken... Its just one of those things that get you through those days. This place is great the sauces are great the spicy and mild are great balance. For people that are not familiar its Korean Fried chicken which is very popular and known for being crispy, juicy with sauces they give you. The go great if you are looking to grab a few beer with your friends. Call and get your order in because they do get busy on Friday and game nights. read more

My husband and I wanted some chicken wings but have been disappointed with many places. We have never had Korean chicken wings before and didn't know what to expect. These wings were juicy and crispy. Not dry at all. Very happily surprised! Definitely would recommend. read more

Chicken day has been pretty solid, food is always consistent and the variety is always good. This is one of the better spots for Korean style fried chicken in the area and their food is always flavorful. We always order the whole chicken either by itself or part of the family combo, the regular fried chicken is good and so is the soy sauce chicken. The sweet and spicy is one of my favorites in wing form. My wife always gets their rice cake and my kids the young yang chicken soup, overall food here is good and kpop is always plating in the background. Not to crowded for families and no wait time. Don't forget to ask for extra radish. read more

Chicken Day is the best (albeit the only) option for Korean-style chicken in the LC/surrounding areas. I've been a loyal customer for years and I really think it's a solid option to get my chicken fix without having to drive out to K-town, which is juuust far away enough to be inconvenient. There's the usual offerings of spicy fried chicken and regular fried chicken along with a soy sauce flavor and boneless options. I always get the spicy and soy sauce bone-in chicken and would recommend them if you're looking for a lot of in-your-face flavor. The pickled daikon radish is KEY and I always ask for extra orders because you really do need that refreshing crunch with every bite of chicken to cut the strong flavor. If you're a fan of Korean chicken and you happen to be in the area, Chicken Day is your safest bet. My chicken has always been delivered to me hot and juicy and the convenience of its location/delivery service can't be beat. read more

Chicken Day - Half soy sauce, half spicy - Korean Near Me - La Crescenta, California

Have to admit, I walked in just because it was called Chicken Day. Sounds like something us Asians would come up with. The place is very simply laid out, menu is small, and the staff are reasonable attentive. Soy chicken is flavorful, though a bit heavy on the batter. The chicken legs are scrawnier than the enhanced mutant chicken I'm used to from KFC. If if wasn't so darn far away, I'd consider stopping by again. read more

Chicken Day - Delicious soy sauce chicken - Korean Near Me - La Crescenta, California

I would give this place zero stars if I could. My order was met with a surprise, found rat feces floating in my radish side dish. Did a double take, fished it out, and am 100% it was what I expected. What kills me is that this meal was for the family. I called and confronted the establishment, the comment was deflected and met with denial. I noted that this was going on Yelp, the person just hung up on me. No apology, nothing. Sign of admission or guilt, who knows. There are ways to handle a situation, and this was not it! I believe I was speaking with the young gentleman with glasses behind the cashier counter. For the record, I'm not a picky person, I've eaten at numerous "family" establishments throughout the world. Buyer beware! Be careful out there folks! read more

Very good, fresh chicken. Wonderful people who run it. Clean, family atmosphere. Very kind and generous with their time and energy.

Located next to the Seoul market. Parking may get tight. Ordered the lunch box #2 and #3. They give complimentary radish. #2 came with 4 drumsticks, rice, salad, and a drink. The legs were good. I got it in teriyaki chicken sauce. I liked it because it had good flavor and wasn't drenched in sauce. Next time I'll try just fried without ant additional sauce. #3 came with boneless wings, rice, salad, and a drink. The menu said 10 pieces but there were like 18 pieces on the dish. Ok. Thanks man. Ordered it with Korean pepper sauce. It was a little spicy. It's kind of warm in there. The food is a little pricey for what you get, but it tastes alright. read more

I like their boneless chickens! Very similar to the fried chicken I used to have in Korea. Quick and friendly service!

Great tasting fried chicken. It has the perfect crisp on the outside. You have to try this spot

I've been to this place 3 times in the past year. It's a small little shop in a quiet neighborhood, next to a few other Korean stores and shops. They have a very simple menu offering fried chicken and chicken with the special sauces. They also have a kind of ginseng chicken soup. I've tried the fried chicken and the soup. First, the chicken -- it's average. I really wasn't impressed. The white meat fried chicken I've had here is very dry, like they fried all the moisture out of it. It's not at all tasty to me. The fried crust isn't bad, but the meat isn't the way I like it. I prefer KFC to this place, not to mention Popeye's, Louisiana Fried Chicken and Church's Chicken. Basically, I prefer any other place's fried chicken to this place. The ginseng soup was disappointing as well. It's kind of a thick, bland broth. I doubt it has any medical benefits, either. Move along, move along.. read more

I want to preface this review by saying that I had been patronizing this chicken shop since 2010, even before it changed in the hands of a new owner several years ago. In the last several months, the quality has gone down significantly. The batter used to be crispy and decent but 2 weeks ago and today l, ordered chicken to go and it has been very dissapointing. The batter is not crispy and parts of the chicken were soggy and very oily. I tried to give this place another chance today. I ordered on the phone around 9 pm on a Sunday and asked the lady to make sure the chicken did not come out greasy and to make sure the batter was crispy. When I went to go pick it up, I again told her again that the last time I ordered,it was very greasy and not crispy as usual. She said, i should have called right away so i could get have gotten some sort of credit. Right before I left, she told me that they made sure to give it special attention and to let her know if it tastes better. I went home and it was again very greasy and the chicken was sitting in grease and the bottom parts were soggy and there was no crispy batter. Even the top parts of the chicken were very not crispy. I called the Korean lady/ cashier and asked if the cook changed or they changed the recipe. she said no they didnt. I told her that, again, the chicken was sitting in grease and the batter was not crispy. She then got defensive and said that she never heard that kind of complaint from anyone else. I told her that I already told her and she was the one that told me to call them right away and so I did. I asked her why she even told me to call her if she wasn't goung to remedy it. She then proceeds to tell me that she only meant that I should have called last time when I ordered the chicken and not today. What????? Then she tells me to go back to the store and return the chicken, I told her I was already home and I could not go there. If she wants the chicken, she can pick it up herself. Then she changes her mind and says I cannot return the chicken and she will not refund the money on the chicken. She was very inconsistent and being fickle. She was so rude and never once apologized or tried to remedy the situation. Why woukd she even tell me to call the store about any complaints if she had no intention of helping me. At one point, she hung up on me and when i tried to call her back several times, she kept hanging up on me. She refused to give me the contact info for the owner, manager or anyone else. Hence, I am putting my review on here. Be warned of the Korean lady in her 50's who works there on Sunday nights. read more

Ordered sweet and spicy and garlic and spicy wings and the drumstick lunch special. We got our order fast and ate inside. The guy was really nice. Chicken was great. Both sauces were sweet. Breading was crispy and kids liked it. I was hoping for a soy garlic sauce but didn't see it in the menu. Will come back and try other sauces! read more

No complains about service or taste, but they honestly need to do something about the size of their wings. Most of the bad reviews on Yelp mentions something about the small chicken size mainly because of its high price. It never bothered me until my last 2-3 visits. They served us miniatured wings! I was so upset, but I didn't want to cause a scene in front of my kids so I just let it go. They're so small now, even my petite 7 year old daughter was able to eat 10 wings on her own! I used to order 30 wings for my entire family, but during my last visit I need to order 50 because of their tiny size. My kids love Chicken Day! We go there every other week because of their insistence, however from now on they'll be seeing us less and less for sure. I'd rather take my kids elsewhere for that price. Not worth paying all that anymore. I'm not sure what happened. They used to serve normal sized wings. Maybe their supplier has changed or the owner is trying to make more profit. Note to owner: Please don't try to fool your customers. Be fair and serve what you're charging your customers for. read more
