Food truck review: food was delicious and portions were a generous size. Ordered the Flamin Fries, 4 sliders combo and flamin elote. The sliders were not small at all! I actually got full with one. The flamin elote was definitely unique but I prefer the flamin fries. They do charge for extra sauce, I wish we got at least 1 extra sauce with our combo order. 10/10 read more

This is by far the freshest tasting hot chicken sandwich I've had! In comparison to bitter chains like Dave's - this truck definitely has a better crisp and freshness. The fries are also super good and cooked to perfection! My only feedback is there isn't a cheese option, so if I had the option to throw cheese on it would be perfect! The flamin heat level is perfect for those who like an extra level of spice but not unbearable! Definitely will go back! read more

I waited more than one hour for a regular plain sandwich, and it was still spicy. I assume a one hour wait is quite long especially when it's lined up at a university, but I at least expected to have my order done correctly. I tried to use leftover sauce to mask the spice, but that stuff hurt. read more

Always willing to take care of you right away and wants to make sure you enjoy your experience.

Got the 4 sliders (Flamin & Death Row), 5 tenders (Flamin), Flamin Fries (Death Row), Corn elote & 2 Dr Peppers. The sandwiches & tenders were tasty, the breading on the chicken is thin and crispy. The flavor of the Flamin is a medium spicy but if you're a spicy lover, I'd suggest the Death Row. It's got great flavor and a good kick. The French fries alone are pretty bland and boring but the Flamin fries were tasty. The Elote Corn was delicious. This is a to go, pop up location? There aren't any tables to sit. I suggest leaving the bags open and holding them while driving home so they don't get soggy. Prices are fair and the guy was patient and helpful. read more

We tried this place via their food truck outside our hotel while visiting LA and it was open late at night as well. While it first felt a bit pricey just for sliders, the portions were quite large and the sliders were more like actual chicken sandwiches. Each order could easily serve two people at least. The hot chicken sliders were spicy and packed with the flavor of the flaming sauce. We enjoyed the sides as well. So glad we ran into the food truck and hopefully next time I'm in the area, I can try out the place too! read more

The truck was recently in my area so I figured I'd give it a try. For the truck, you do not order on their website. I walked up and found a touchscreen to use to order. While I appreciate the "non-contact" I wish there was some sanitizer left out because the touch screen didn't seem properly cleaned or maintained-- probably because there was only one person working on the truck. Just something consider during these COVID times. Combo #1 - The chicken was just okay. Even after ~7 minutes in the to-go box it had lost some of it's crunch already. It was borderline dry and desperately needed the cole slaw. Seasoning-wise it was average. The "Mild" spice level wasn't too spicy, and I'm usually pretty sensitive to spicy foods. As a chicken sandwich, it was lacking in a lot of ways, especially compared to other spots in the area not named Howlin' Rays. The elote was basic and nothing special-- literally canned corn topped with mayo, what looked like paprika, and processed parmesan. At least when you get elote on the street there's a smoky char that makes a huge difference. Combo #3 - More of the same, except the chicken was chopped up. At least with the fries and slaw there was some kind of texture. The sauce on top was the saving grace, to be honest. In all, it was average at best and a bit overpriced. read more

Their ordering system sucks! You place your order on a screen and have the option to pay via card or with the cashier, but the cashier has no clue what order belongs to which customer. I know because the my order, after receiving a text message, was handed off to someone else. So in the end, I finally got my order and a free order of fries, because the cashier was like a deer caught by headlights... lost. read more

This is as far as I got with their Devil's Rejects Challenge sliders that I ordered through door dash. Seriously, if you're not a pepper head- this is not for you. I called the store to ask what they used in their hottest sauce and sure enough, the answer was Carolina Reapers. Before I finished my first bite I had hiccups. Had a few more bites and it was hands down the hottest thing I've ever had. Mouth has been on fire for 20+ minutes and my body is still trembling. If you want the FIRE, this is it. Their fries were garbage, but the person I spoke to over the phone was super nice and they delivered more heat than I was expecting. 5 stars. Keep it up FHC. read more

I ordered the single sandwich combo on Postmates the other night. I was really excited because it was exactly what I was craving: a chicken sandwich and esquite! But I was disappointed when it arrived. The esquite wasn't very flavorful, so I added tajin. I could tell the corn came from a can cause I had an aluminum aftertaste. I figured since they focused on two main items they would be an expert at it. I was so disappointed that they didn't use real corn for their side dish. The sandwich was decent and had a good amount of flavor, so I decided to give them a 3 star review cause their chicken was okay. read more

They took 25 minutes to do my order with 5 people in front of me. I ordered to the tenders and they gave me a chicken sandwich. Didn't have time to exchange it. This is what they gave me. Worlds smallest chicken tender. Flavor wasn't even good. Don't waste your time or money. read more

The chicken here amazing. I'm completely serious-they could probably start a cult centered around the chicken from this truck is and and they'd have me: hook, line, and sinker. Every time I have a chicken sandwich from this truck it takes so much self-restraint not to go back for a second or even a third-I've seen other people walk away with 3 at a time!! I seriously have to commend the cooks because every item on their menu is great-even their coleslaw! Let me tell you-no chicken spot is that great unless it has some amazing coleslaw-you NEED to try it. Maybe I just exaggerating, but I seriously think this is a great food truck-the portions are great, the food is delicious, and the service is top of the line. read more

Okay so I got hyped when I saw this place has 5 stars and I'm a newbie to trying new places. I must say it's an overall 3 star joint ! Maybe a Iil bit pricey for the portion they serve in my opinion . The corn is good but if you're Mexican you know your corn. This one is sweet and good ! The chicken sandwich taste a lil bit like KFC chicken Lil. My French fires were a bit cold but that could of been my fault they have good flavor tho... I'm just being honest , hope you guys adjust your prices and serve more original meals ! Good luck opening a new business guys. hope for the best. read more

Damn...so I'm in Van Nuys never, finished filming with a client and used Yelp to find something and lo and behold a 5 star chicken sandwich place popped up. Yeah only 43 reviews but I love spicy and I like chick-Fil-a and raising canes so i said sure why not... What I didn't expect was there not being an actual location and since I don't live around here they do have a drop off spot in a Big Lots parking lot. Say what??? Lol ok...anyways after sitting for about 10 minutes watching playoff basketball on my phone sure enough comes a car and a delivery. Felt like an old school 90's drug deal lol. Long story short...it was freaking awesome. Got the next to highest level of spicy which was perfect for me, the corn was bomb, and the Balance and texture of everything was sooooo perfect. I don't think I'll ever be back here again since I live in OC but I'll always remember the chicken deal in the parking lot :-) Epic stuff...thx guys!!! read more

They still taste okay, but there's just not much there anymore, so the value doesn't really feel the same. The fries were the bigger letdown. They used to be well seasoned and fresh, but now they came out hard, dry, and pretty bland. I actually found myself wishing for salt, which never used to be the case. The texture felt like they'd been sitting under a heat lamp instead of freshly made. Overall it's not terrible, just not what it used to be. Still edible, but the quality and portion size have definitely slipped enough to notice. -- So then it said the review needed to be approved by the owner which triggered an alarm.

This is the first one we tried, but have since…read morebeen to a couple of other locations (La Cañada and the one in the food court of H Mart in Arcadia). Let me tell you, THIS one absolutely smokes its contemporaries. Their kimchi fried rice is one of the best just things in general I've ever eaten. The chicken, despite being generously lathered with well flavored sauce (the delightfully smoky galbi is my favorite so far) somehow managed to still be crispy hours later. And I don't know what fairy magic they make the fries with, but even those were hitting as leftovers hours later. Cold fries are usually NOT IT, but these are the exception that proves the rule.

One of the best wings I've ever tried. I always get the honey garlic or the soy garlic ones and…read moreeverytime, it's crunchy, perfectly coated with their sauce and so tender inside. It's one of my favorite wing places. They have other different flavors as well but those 2 are my top flavors. I tried the mozzarella cheeseling last night too. I wish it was still hot when I bit into it for the cheese pull but it did not. The cheese powder outside though --- it's sweet and savory at the same time. It reminds me of a chip seasoning. It's so yummy! Will always go back to bbq chicken for the flavor and crunchiness. Lots of parking in the plaza and the staff in there are super nice. Very casual vibe and you know people are enjoying their food in there. It's been a while since I haven't had bbq chicken but it reminded me last night of how good it was.

We stopped in for dinner the other night. There is plenty of parking in the shopping center they…read moreare located in. The restaurant itself is small but charming. I love the homemade kimchi and takuan. I could eat both of these with some rice all day. We started with some noodle soup. Handcut noodles, beef dumplings and vegetables made for a comforting start to the meal. Then we got an order of dim sum. They give you quite a few pieces. They are stuffed with pork and Chinese and are absolutely delicious. We also got a half order of the Korean Fried Chicken. It was piping hot and very crispy. The kimchi steamed buns were next. They were large and very filling. Each bun was packed woth kimchi, pork and vegetables. We ended with sweet red bean steamed buns. These were also large and filling. A great way to finish our meal. A great place for dumplings and not worrying about leaving hungry. Great service too!

Their Sweet And Spicy Fried Chicken is a definite MUST-TRY!! Their house-made sauce is blended with…read moreKorean spices, giving you that glossy, sticky, sweet heat that builds gently without overpowering. Not super spicy, more sweet taste but insanely flavorful and addictive. We got a half order, which consisted of 1 wing, 1 drumstick, 1 thigh, 2 rib, 2 breast, costing $16.99. A whole order of chicken is $28.99. We would definitely order again. Dumplings are handmade fresh daily. You can literally taste the difference in every bite -- juicy fillings, delicate wrappers, and that perfect pleat. We tried: Dim Sum 10 pc $16.99 Korean style dumplings 8 pc $15.99 King Steamed Dumpling With Pork And Vegetables 4pc $15.99 Pan Fried Dumplings 10pc $16.99 My favorites were the Korean style dumplings and Pan Fried Dumplings. King Steamed Dumpling With Pork And Vegetables is huge, fluffy and bouncy. The taste of the filling was okay. The dim sum was a good size and looked pretty. Hard to pick up with chopsticks without the bottom breaking. The bottom was really delicate so using a spoon makes it easier. The Marinaded Beef $15.99 (half order) was perfect with rice. Complimentary small Sides: kimchi, pickled radish and cabbage salad. I really liked the pickled radish. This place is tucked away in a strip near the Northridge Promenade Shopping Center. Parking can be difficult during peak hours. Nyi had wonderful customer service.

Anyway, here they have the perfect plate for me - two breasts and a wing. What could go wrong if the food is good. Well, let me tell you what can go wrong. It gives you options for crispy, spicy crispy, mixed, and grilled. I clearly checked crispy. What arrived? Spicy crispy. How did I know? Because one bite and I, who don't do spicy, had my mouth lit on fire. Now, this was a late-night order, but so what? If the people there cannot see a clearly marked crispy, not spicy crispy, not mixed, and not grilled, then they should try to look more carefully. I had to toss the food and get a refund from DoorDash. Out of fairness, I will give it another try, although the bad reviews here leave me worried, and I'm happy to amend this too spicy review. This should have been a crispy review and it would have been had it not been spicy. Get my drift?

The drinks looked good but I decided to save some calories and just had a glass of water. For food I started with clam chowder. I'm thinking it was a special since it was on a piece of paper on the table. It came in a bread bowl...it had lots or clams, bacon and potatoes. It was delicious. It could have been a meal with a small salad. So for my entree I had the lobster Mac and cheese. It was good as a well. Ooey gooey and seasoned nicely. I was almost full from the chowder so only at about 1/3 of it but would definitely recommend. It was my first time coming here and I'd definitely return.

Service - 5/10 I'm not sure if they were just so understaffed or what was going on. Food took forever to come out & it seemed as if there was only 1 waiter for the entire restaurant. She also had an ugly attitude. Price - 2/10 Honestly for pub food, it's way too overpriced. You're paying West Hollywood prices in the valley, probably more. I hate that each sandwich/burger is $15+ à la carte. Ridiculous! Cocktails - 2/10 Ordered an old fashioned multiple times & each time it was too heavy on the bitters. Gross! Ambiance - 6/10 It's a cool dive bar feel but the TV sound could've been on for the ball game. OVERALL - 6/10 It's way too overpriced to even want to come back. The food is mid, and just not worth the price. The beer options also are not it. Cocktails aren't great either. Probably wouldn't come back.
