    Cauli Daves #4: 1 Cauli Slider with Fries
    Melissa L.

    Dave's is a pretty good option for a late night meal, seeing as it's open until 2:30 AM. It's usually pretty busy inside, but there weren't too many people dining in when I visited. Ordering is easy and can be done either at the register or at a kiosk. Staff is pretty friendly as well and I didn't encounter any major issues. For food, I had the Dave's Not Chicken Cauliflower slider and I really enjoyed it, honestly more than I've enjoyed their chicken before. The fries were just okay, I felt they were kind of cold for a dine-in order, but the chicken was still good and pretty juicy.

    Super good chicken sandwiches. Fries are tasty too. The shakes are supper loaded with toppings and thick with ice cream. Top notch!

    Friendly service. Very happy employees. The place is very clean place to eat. You can choose the spicy level of your chicken.

    We've dined in and done takeout here a few times now, and it's always been consistently good. The chicken is flavorful, portions are generous, and the prices are great for what you get. They're also always adding new items, which keeps it interesting. Today I tried the loaded fries (small), and it was the perfect size for me--so delicious and satisfying. It was also my first time trying the mac and cheese, and it was super saucy and really good. My husband got his usual 2-tender plate, which is always a hit. Overall, a solid spot for casual, tasty comfort food. We'll definitely keep coming back. Also, open late, on delivery platforms and has parking lot for dining in /take out.

    Was in the mood for chicken strips so I stopped by Dave's Hot Chicken in Northridge. I ordered a two tender combo. The combo however, did not include a drink FYI. That's fine, I just ended up ordering a small drink. First impressions: I was impressed by the size of the tenders- they were huge! They were perfectly seasoned and the chicken was fresh. You can tell it had just been prepared and it wasn't sitting out long like other food places tend to do. The fries were fine, they were super fried. I tend to prefer mine not as crispy but they were still really good, especially with the "Dave's sauce" that comes with it. I was ecstatic to see how generous they are with the side of pickles, perfect addition to an already delicious meal. Service was excellent, they were very friendly and attentive which I truly appreciate because these days all we get are Gen Z stares when we ask questions (lol, kidding, but not really). Overall, I will definitely stop by again. The chicken was delicious!

    I've been to several hot chicken places in the valley and this place is just as good as the rest. What I appreciate, as someone who isn't the best with spicy food, is they have more levels of spice than usual. Light mild is def the way to go. Got the two tenders meal with fries, came with two slices of bread and two pickles. Chicken was well seasoned, fries were delicious. Price was what you expect. Location itself is on the busy reseda street but ample parking in the back. Good amount of seating inside and outside.

    No sauce,no ketchup, no honey, AND can't even change the soda when it runs out? Plus my tenders were peak cold. Hmm I'm good. Seriously lazy overall. Overrated :(

    Single chicken slider with fries (unseasoned). I ate some fries before I took the picture.  There were more fries.

    This was my first time ever trying Dave's Hot Chicken. First let me say that the customer service was outstanding! Jasmine took my order & she was so nice and had a smile on her face. She genuinely seems to enjoy her job which says a lot these days. I took my order to go. I ordered the #4 which is one chicken slider with fries (mild and I requested no seasoning on the fries). The fries were really good and the portion was plentiful. The chicken was very tender. I was hoping for more slaw on the sandwich. There were only a couple pieces of slaw and a bunch of pickles. The sauce was good. Next time I'll up the spice level a bit. Prices are very reasonable for what you receive. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Casual dining. No drive thru which is a bit disappointing.

    Man that assaulted me inside Dave's hot chicken

    I was pushed out of the way by a customer who verbally assaulted me and was screaming at me .i am 68 years old. I asked them to call 911 and they refused and did nothing to protect me. This was horrible. They watched what was happening and then said they saw nothing so they lie as well. That is horrible management and everyone needs to know that they are not safe in this restaurant.

    Dave's is a very popular place with a very long line for a Monday night but the lines went fairly quick. There are also a lot of delivery drivers picking up. The staff is very friendly. Plenty of outside seating that is kept clean and the chairs are comfortable. Parking lot is a medium size but there is plenty of street parking.

    Very clean facility

    Love it! Always crispy and spice on point. Quick and easy, service with a smile. Dining hall and restrooms are clean.

    Love this place and will continue to come here although my recent visit yesterday afternoon was a bit of a weird one? Decided to try their new "saucy bites" but when I got home, there was no sauce at all. When our order was called for pickup, we waited a few extra minutes because she was waiting for the bites (maybe they forgot it in our order or something). Got the hot honey teriyaki bites and it looked dry as a bone. I was skeptical because we didn't get any extra sauces, thinking I wouldn't need it. Turns out the hot honey was at the bottom but only very little, couldn't even dip anything. No sign of teriyaki, sadly. I ended up dipping these in Dave's sauce packets that we thankfully got some of. The chicken itself was good and not dry at all but if you call these "saucy bites" you need to fix that lol.

I would definitely come back to try more items because there are so many great options on the menu.

The restaurant had a great vibe, and it was nice seeing so many families enjoying their meals. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I can't wait to come back!

    My first time trying Indonesian food, and LaaLaaPan made it such a memorable experience. We ordered…read morethe Nasi Tumpeng Mini (18), grilled fish, and Martabak Manis for dessert, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. The people who I assume own the restaurant, working as both the waiters and chefs, were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they serve. Since we were completely new to Indonesian cuisine, they patiently answered our questions and gave us great recommendations, which made the experience even better. This is exactly the kind of small business you want to support. The flavors were unlike anything I've had before, and I loved getting to try something so different. My favorite dish was easily the grilled fish. It reminded me of the Filipino grilled fish I grew up eating, so it had a comforting familiarity while still showcasing its own distinct Indonesian flavors. If you're looking for authentic Indonesian food or simply want to try something new, I highly recommend LaaLaaPan. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.

    Laalaapan's nasi Padang tastes distinctly home-cooked. The rendang included some noticeably fatty…read morecuts of beef, which were enjoyable, although a little unorthodox for rendang. The balado wasn't spicy, but the sambal definitely was. I also missed having sambal ijo and some gulai gravy, both of which would have made the plate feel more complete. The bakwan jagung had a similarly homemade style. Depending on your preferences, it will either make you miss your mom's cooking or leave you craving a crispier, restaurant-style bakwan jagung packed with corn kernels. The soda gembira, like many Indonesian places here, use Sprite instead of club soda or plain soda water, which makes it far too sweet. The syrup they used tasted authentic, though. Overall, you may love this place specifically because the food tastes like something you grew up eating. However, if your preference leans more toward polished, restaurant-style Indonesian food, it may feel a little underwhelming.
