I came here on a Tuesday at around noon time and the store was clean, tidy and organized. I was able to place my order quickly and a very friendly and professional clerk was able to dispatch it quickly. She was 10/10. Kudos to her. The food was great (I manly came because of the X-Men '97 promo they were running), and definitely I'd be back whenever I'm craving some good fried chicken sandwich (spicy or not). I ordered mine with no spice and thankfully they delivered. 10/10 food and 10/10 service.

Mozzarella sticks

I used to visit Dave's when they were operating in the parking lot. Food now is good but they almost are always out of some of their popular items. Service is good and seating area is great with a lot of space. I wish they would always have their mozzarella sticks available

Honestly pretty good competitor in the chicken and fry game. I appreciate the range of spice level as they have several options. The sliders are better than the tenders as I do think the tender meal/fries are a little bland overall, you do need the sauce. But the slider with kale slaw is delicious and I would get again. Mac and cheese is very regular nothing special. side note: ordered on doordash. would recommend to go in person as i noticed after they upcharge a lot for the meal compared to other places. food did come fast and still warm however!

2 slider n fries combo (mild)

Late to the game, but Dave's is a solid hot chicken. Went with mild, and definitely no heat. Could probably handle the hot level for my next visit. Online order was quick and easy, and pick up time was spot on. Portions were good for the sliders, but could use some more fries in the tray. Everything was nice a crispy. Fries were well seasoned with a nice crunch. Chicken as also well seasoned, bun was nice and sweet. The crunchy pickles were also on point. Could've used some more Coleslaw in the slider. Overall, good experience. Will come back and again.

The chicken tested very good but I ordered mild is you see it my order and got super hot chicken and it's not my favorite and my wife couldn't eat it you cocked the chicken at onceand I did connect on line and didn't get help I just spent 36 $ on food couldn't even eat

definitely someone else's order

I ordered on uber eats the meal with a sandwich and a tender and french fries and I received something completely different...my orders are always missing something when ordering through delivery I don't know how or why this keeps happening please do better dave's

This is my son's favorite chicken snack! Their chicken are tender and flavorful. Their mac and cheese is also good.

I had a horrible experience today. I'm making it very clear that I am upset and was asking for a refund, not excuses. Instead of addressing my request, the lady tried to calm me down by saying "everything is OK, let me get you your fries," and then quickly walked away as I was asking for a refund. By that point, I had already driven home and had to drive back. I was in no mood -- I expect my food hot and served together, not hot fries with a cold or "warm" sandwich. If they wanted to make it right, they should have either refunded me or at least given me the choice of a refund with the food. Don't try to convince me everything is OK when it clearly isn't. The mistake was on their end, and instead of owning up to it, there was no accountability. I spent $22 and expected a decent experience, not frustration. To make things worse, this isn't the first time -- the past three times, something has gone wrong with my order. Three strikes and you're out. I ended up leaving my food, upset and hungry. Now I'll be taking my business elsewhere. For $7 at Del Taco, I can get three tacos without all this hassle

Bread

All the Dave's locations are not the same... For the past few months, I have tried multiple different DHC locations (Glendale, Rosemead, Little Tokyo), and they've all changed, not in a good way. Their chicken used to be full of meat, but now the tenders are becoming more like crispy skin. They're getting closer to KFC quality, which should be taken as an insult because Dave's used to be way better. It's getting crispier, less meaty, and more greasy. Also, they seem to be acting stingy again with the seasoning. The Extra Hot just tastes like Hot. Not as flavorful as it used to be. Too bad DHC can't be one of my few pregnancy cravings. I've given them many chances to bounce back but they seem to be cutting corners. It's not even worth the money at this point. Refer to the photos for greasy bread and an unseasoned Extra Hot Tender.

One of the few late night joints open in the area and a great alternative if you want fast food and don't want to brave the super fisted lines at In-N-Out. Although the drive through here is a bit bizarre, since it's behind the building and it's not a stand alone fast food restaurant, I don't think... Eclectic décor (rubber chicken in a UFO crashed into the corner of the ceiling) and a good crowd of people even in the later evening hours, you can easily see how many people enjoy Dave's. We ordered ahead literally less than 10 minutes before arriving there and it was ready within me waiting 5 minutes there. Super efficient service. We got the Combo #1 that comes with 2 tenders (you can customize the spiciness of each tender) with fries. It comes with a slice of bread, pickles, and their Dave's Sauce (reminiscent of every creamy tangy orange sauce you can get at most hot chicken places). I ordered mild and medium hot and I'm really glad that I did because that medium hot was breaching the points of almost burning my mouth, panting while eating. Chicken was moist enough and the mild was yummy and had a nice heat. I'm sure if I ordered anything hotter than that it would have been completely inedible. Overall not bad!

Skimpy fries, this business has changed drastically

Tenders are nasty soggy. No care for quality. These are supposed to be crunchy but I guess they only do it right for "influencers" (wtf is an influencer lol). Big time rip off these days. If I'm paying $5 for a 2oz tender, it better be perfect. It's not even beef lmfao chicken is cheap AF. Never been the same since their Hollywood location. Bye Felicia

Dave's Hot Chicken has really good Nashville Hot Chicken! We ordered the strips and the sandwich, and they were both fantastic. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the spice was delicious. The service was great, and everyone was very helpful.

Great food but bad service I was refused a cup of water with my order!!! They make make buy a soda cup,Stefani need more customer Service training..Also I order 3 combos and I only was provided with two Dave Hot sauces adicional will have a $$$ 4-12 4:30 pm

Of course, I went in because I already know the quality of their food. I always find their noodles fresh and chewy, and the dishes are rich in texture and flavor. But this time, since I was by myself, I didn't order a noodle dish because I was just by myself. So, I ordered the beef roll, which is also to die for! Just really enjoy their food overall. If you've never tried Noodle Street before, definitely check out their menu and give their noodles a try. This particular location was clean, the staff was nice, and the wait wasn't long when I arrived. I would definitely come back again! I'd like to add one more detail. While I was waiting for my food, one of the staff members, possibly the manager, Justin, came over and asked if I'd like to have a small bowl of broth on the side. I said yes and was impressed by that offer. Why? This young man understood that I had ordered only the beef roll, which is a dry dish. Having a little warm broth on the side made it much easier and more enjoyable to eat. I had water, though, but I personally never drink water before or after my meal, so the broth was definitely a perfect complement to the beef roll. This is the first time in my Noodle Street eating history that I've been offered something simple to enhance my dining experience. A small gesture that I think is worth mentioning, as it showed that he was attentive and had very good common sense when it comes to customer service. Thumbs up to him, and an extra star from me for this location.

But it is without question the most important Armenian restaurant in the world. Armenians are simultaneously a diaspora people, a people of the book, and an old country people. Therefore, odd as it may seem, it is entirely appropriate that the most important Armenian restaurant in the world should not be located in Armenia at all, but should serve a diaspora community in a way that makes them feel connected to home, both interns of cuisine and in terms of communal warmth. Technically, this is more of a Lebanese restaurant than an Armenian restaurant, but that hardly matters. It's a place of celebration, merriment, laughter, and tears. In short, it is THE gathering place for Armenians in Southern California. Because of its fame and importance, the thing that is consistently overlooked about this restaurant is just how excellent the food is. Bring a Lebanese expat here and you will invariably hear them say after the first bite of hummus that it doesn't compare to the hummus they used to enjoy in Beirut.
