    Gave me my food fast- A. Bayron. Love this food, it's better than Hawaiian hot chicken honestly.‍‍

    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.

    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.

    Very clean facility

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

    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.

    The foood was very good, service was super great , employees super nice. As well as the atmosphere with everyone and enjoying the meal was good

    This place never fails. Always a good meal, and always up to par! I wonder what the top loaded shakes are like!

If you want to experience eating while sweating your balls, this is a great exercise. The side dish is really mediocre, some kimchee, and shredded cabbage with thousand Island dressing, really nothing special here. The king dumplings has no flavor, it is soft but when you bite it, there is really no excitement to it. The filling is generous but also bland. The fried chicken is just uber dry, some parts of the skin is pretty good, but the seasoning is weak. The beef rib soup is the worse, there was literally no Korean flavor at all, it's just bland in spices and flavor. Maybe this is just an ok place to hang, but the food is nothing to write home about.

But they don't stand up to the hype. It was very crowded on Sunday night both inside and the drive thru mostly high school kids. The service seemed nice and attentive. The place inside was a little dirty but nothing crazy. We ordered through the screen and got our order in about 15-20 min so not too bad. The chicken tenders do taste good with quality. They come out warm, soft but still with the crisp. The Cane sauce is good but the chicken tenders honestly don't need it because the chicken is good itself. I had their coleslaw which also taste fresh. Their fries were not as crispy as I'd like them to be but still had enough of the crisp and weren't all soggy. I had a bite of the chicken sandwich and that tasted pretty good but again I don't know if it was because I really hungry.
