    Fried chicken sandwich
    Lina M.

    I'd give this a solid 2.5. First time here and I don't think I'll go back. Prices are very reasonable but the place was nasty . Smelled like cheap detergent all around. The tables and menus sticky. Bathroom dirty, overall didn't feel comfortable here and I'm not a clean freak by any means. Water tasted like bleach, and the chicken sandwich, mediocre. Not as fresh as I thought it would be. Kind of soggy , not crispy .

    Lemon pepperrrrrrrrr

    Hot Wings Cafe understands. They understand that wings MUST be crispy!!!! Also they are on the smaller side but I found the ratio of meat to bone to be perfect.

    Great wings. Prices have gone up in the last 5yrs but who's hasn't. Good wings, always reliable

    8 piece combo with Caesar salad
    Marshay D.

    So I've always tried the Hot Wings Cafe in Pasadena, and it always just been mediocre to me. However, I feel it's because it's smaller their. I like this location in Glendale and the service. I forgot our server name but she was good, and accommodating. Happy my friend decided to come here because it's been years since I've came. The food was good and done well. I ordered the 8 piece combo with half spicy bbq and the other half hot. For my side I substituted for Caesar salad instead of fries. My friend order fries and mozzarella sticks, and they looked really delicious as well. I tried a few fries and they were really good ! The inside it good for large parties and gets pretty busy. Good ambiance if you wanna hang out with your friends or chill and eat. Not too much decor just pretty much basic. You can park in front or in the back. On Sunday's parking is free, but other days you do have to pay.

    Mild wings

    Tried these wings at a family party and was blown away by how delicious they were so I made my way to the Glendale location and it did NOT disappoint! The Mild hot wings and lemon peppered wings were PERFECTION! I would much rather come here than go to wing stop. The wings were perfectly seasoned and juicy. Paid parking all around Service was great! The ambiance is a bit loud but it's appropriate for a wing spot

    chicken wings, carrots, and celery

    See all

    I popped in here after a school field trip craving some fried chicken. I was new here and didn't…read moreknow what to get so I went with the chicken lunch special that comes with salad, rice and a drink. I couldn't decide on one flavor so she was kind enough to put the sauce on the side for me which was great (thank you!). I love that they gave a combination of white and dark meat, I was worried it would all be wings and it was well portioned. I enjoyed having a little salad with the fried chicken pieces and rice. The sauce was light and gently sweet, a very complimentary dip to the light crispy crunch of the breaded wings. Service was very welcoming and friendly with a very clean interior and the smell of freshly cooked food. I really enjoyed the food here and I'm definitely coming back for dinner with the family.

    We've ordered from Chicken Day in La Crescenta a few times. Some were delivery orders and a couple…read moreof times, we picked up the food. Korean fried chicken cravings definitely happen and its good to have one in the foothills. We just happened to be in the same plaza shopping at the market nearby when we first noticed it. We've gotten the original fried chicken wings, original fried chicken drumsticks, sweet and spicy wings and the spicy garlic wings. I've found that the original and sweet & spicy are the 2 flavors I like best for wings. The drumsticks are a little too filling and I'm really in it for the wings. The flavor of the original fried is good and the crunch is even better. 10 pieces of these wings is $15.49 while 10 pieces of the sweet & spicy wings or the spicy garlic is $15.99. The spicy garlic was a little too strong for me. I needed to eat that with a good amount of rice. The sweet & spicy is good on its own. The flavor was not too overpowering. The double fried nature of these wings make for an extra crunch which we all look for... That's always good. We also typically get the pickled radish as a side but at times that is even too strong. Located on Foothill Blvd in the same plaza as Seoul Market and directly next to Sakana Sushi. Parking is in the shared lot or along Foothill. Service the times we ordered in-person was friendly. It seemed like a family run business. Signage out front doesnt really let you know that it's a Korean fried chicken spot. When we first parked in front of Chicken Day while headed to Seoul Market, I did a double take in wondering what type of chicken shop it was.

    Mediocre chicken wings that are overpriced, lacked proper seasoning and not cooked well overall…read more The outside was not crispy at all. I ended up getting food poisoning for a day and a half after eating the food from here, which I am not sure if it's due to the sanitation reasons or if they cooked the wings in old, poor-quality, oil. 1. Golden Original Chicken Wings (3.5/5) Of all the wings we got, this was by far the best of the lot. Due to the lack of wet dressing, at least the outside of the wings maintained a bit of the crisp. It lacked savoriness though. 2. Galbi Chicken Wings (2/5) A Korean flavor that's supposed to be sweet, savory, and smoky with green onions and sesame seed garnish. It's more sweet than savory and it did not have the smoky flavor to it at all. The green onion and sesame seeds were just for garnishing and looks as they did not add any flavor 3. Gangnam Style Wings (4/5) Another Korean-inspired flavor that's supposed to be a mixture of black pepper sauce with garlic and onions. The sauce combination was actually quite tasty. I liked the slight kick from the black pepper. It is definitely not spicy. Wings though were soggy in texture 4. Gang-Jeong Wings (2/5) Supposed to be a soy sauce-based sauce with cinnamon and chili garnish. This sauce was overwhelmingly thick and rich, but without a defined flavor. Definitely no cinnamon flavor at all. Coated on top of the wings = soggy wings yet again 5. Rose Ddeok-Bokki (2/5) This is typically a creamy version of the traditional Ddeok-Bokki. Usually coconut is used to make it more creamy and give it a unique taste. Here, it was just some pink sauce without flavor. Poorly seasoned. The rice cakes were between chewy and hard :/ 6. Kimchi Fried Rice with Added Cheese (1/5) Probably the worst kimchi fried rice we've ever had. The cheese we added for $2 more (totally not worth it) made the top of the rice dry and hard. The rice like everything else lacked salt and savoriness. The kimchi base sauce lacked the kimchi spicy fermentation flavor. It was super bland. Honestly, for the price, this was a huge disappointment. I will not be back and cannot recommend this place. You're better off making wings yourself at home with an air fryer.

We walk in and are greeted by the friendliest man, who immediately acknowledged our baby boy and got him smiling. The restaurant atmosphere is small-town vibes in the best way. It was decorated for Christmas and our son had a blast running around playing (the owners got a kick out of him, which makes this place beyond family friendly!)! We ordered potato pizza, the house pizza, a side of sweet and spicy wings, and the sweet potato cheesy bread sticks. All I can say is, we were blown away. The combination of flavors on the potato pizza is seriously incredible - that is officially my favorite pizza of all time. The flavor profiles are so unique... it's like the last truly creative pizza in LA. Our boy loved the potato pizza and cheesy bread, which made our night easier. The WINGS!!! I was pleasantly surprised that they were actually pretty spicy - great flavor and they were crispy. Everything I want in a sweet and spicy wing. If we could rate Hello Pizza higher we would. Bonus: one of the owners took down a Sonic the Hedgehog mascot head and let our boy play with it while we waited. Seriously, this is the vibe we want in a small, hometown pizza joint,

    Hello Pizza brings Korean-inspired pizza to the neighborhood. Love the unique flavors (bulgogi,…read moreBuldak, potato) and pizza styles (ie. sweet potato mousse gold crust) they serve up here. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because I wasn't really a fan of their pizza dough, which to me, has a consistency of thin, dried, stale bread - that's just my personal opinion though. It didn't seem to bother anyone else in my party. I guess could round up to 4.5 stars 1. Bulgogi Gold Pizza (4.5/5) The bulgogi was marinated well and were evenly spread throughout each pizza slice. The base of this pizza is tomato sauce and it is topped off with onion, bell pepper and cheddar cheese. The gold crust of course if a layer of crispy melted cheese. The inside of the crust contains sweet potato mousse, which adds a slight sweetness to the palate. The combination works well. 2. Buldak Pizza (2/5) This is the newest item on their menu, so we had to try it. Love the concept of the flavor, but it just wasn't our favorite because it was too sweet. The bulk sauce is a Korean sweet and spicy sauce that kind of resembles BBQ sauce. We felt that the sweetness of the sauce overpowered everything, including the spicy part. The chicken was also too dry. I did like the stuffed cheese crust though as it had a decently cheesiness to it. It was good to try, but we will skip it next time. 3. Bulgogi Taco Pizza (5/5) What is there not to like about bulgogi and taco, let alone, in pizza form? The toppings are Korean marinated BBQ beef, chopped red onions, cilantro, and hot taco sauce. It was pleasantly savory and packed with flavor that's truly reminiscent of street tacos. 4. Potato Gold Pizza (5/5) If you are hungry and looking for a carb-heavy, yet satisfying bite, this is the pizza to get. It has tomato sauce base, topped with cheddar cheese, ground beef, strips of bacon, corn, onion, mushroom, sour cream and a slice of potato wedge on each slice of pizza. Of course, the crust contains the sweet potato mousse. The bacon and seasoned potato wedges really adds savoriness to this pizza. The corn and sweet potato mousse crust adds a tinge of sweetness. The combination of all the ingredients made our taste buds dance with happiness. Overall, I recommend Hello pizza to anyone who is wanting to venture to try new pizza flavors. It's a palate experience to remember!!!

In the past, I noticed that the staff preparing food -- kneading dough, cutting ingredients, assembling orders -- were not wearing gloves. At the time, I chose not to leave a negative review. Instead, out of respect for the establishment, we called the restaurant to express concerns. I hoped it was an oversight and trusted they would correct it. In fact, the owner thanked us for calling in and bringing this to their attention and appeared to agree this was not safe. Today, I came back hoping things would be different. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. Once again, no one preparing the food was wearing gloves. The same person handling the register returns to placing pepperoni on your pizza. The lady in the back is touching her face with the same hand she is using to assemble the veggies on your pizza. Just a few feet away, the gentleman kneading the dough is wearing rings which are digging into the dough. This isn't a minor issue. Food safety and basic hygiene are not optional. Gloves exist to prevent cross-contamination and to protect customers from bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants that can easily transfer from hands to food -- even with handwashing. In an industry where public health should be the top priority, this level of carelessness is unacceptable. What's most disappointing is that they were given the opportunity to correct it. I understand that small businesses face challenges, and I truly wanted to continue supporting them. But seeing the same behavior repeated tells me that this isn't a one-time mistake -- it's a choice. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but customers deserve to know. Sadly, we will not be returning. Cleanliness and food safety are non-negotiable.
