    I've been ordering from them for the past year, whenever I have a craving for delicious, juicy Korean fried chicken and they never disappoint. I always order the extra chicken pieces. If you want some great Korean fried chicken, this is the place to order from.

    There are only a couple of tiny tables in the shop, it looks like this place is more for take out and food delivery rather than eating in. The food was good, I had the chicken sandwich with fries. I thought the crispy fries were especially good. My partner had the chicken tenders. The people working the counter were friendly and helpful. I would go back again.

    Absolutely phenomenal! Customer service was impeccable, super welcoming with a colgate smile I got the cauliflower and white rice this time, I've had their fried chicken as well and it's the best thing I've ever eaten when it comes to fried cauliflower or fried chicken! I'm so glad my daughter's put me up on this, super small place, but they absolutely make their food with so much love and amazing and fresh ingredients I love it here!

    The store was tiny. I would suggest planning for takeout. There are only 3 "tables" and a "bar top" that can barely fit the bag they give you your order in. It was good but nothing special. The tenders were ok.. not super well coated, decently spicy, but not the best. The fries were pretty standard but good.

    Surprisingly delicious Korean fried chicken sandwiches in Hollywood! I was super impressed with Jesse Boy. While my time here was short, it was memorable. It would appear this restaurant is mostly takeout, though they do have very limited seating available inside. Price point is reasonable, service was friendly, and the food was tasty. I'd definitely recommend stopping in here if you're in the area.

    Jesse boy has some of the best fried cauliflower salads and sandwiches. It's located in the strip mall and parking can be a challenge, although street parking is available. it's a small location with a lot going on. You greeted with someone who can help and I've always found the service good. There are options of Korean fried chicken or cauliflower. I also love their french fries and Fresca drink. My favorite drink is grape, but they have different options throughout the week. I've ordered delivery pick up before as well. Its packaged and sealed usually still warm when it arrives. Jesse boy is definitely a hidden gem, once you learn about it, you're hooked

    Six Salad Cauliflower On its Own

    I have had a hyperfixation on fried cauliflower lately and have been trying different places a throughout LA and OC and by FAR this is the best place I've tried!!!! It's got such a good seasoning and balance of crispy outside with a tender inside, really, it is magnificent! The staff as well was so friendly I came in with my friend just to find them all filming some PR/social media work and they were so open to helping me find out just what I wanted and letting me try the aguas and sauces. Seriously such a tiny little shop but full of so much joy. I even accidentally had a bite of my friend's chicken being vegetarian and honestly it made me rethink for a minute my choices LOLLLLL! Definitely worth a few visits!

    Been eating here since their first week open and love this place. But salad is #2 on the list of causing food poisoning next to chicken #1! Please talk to your kitchen staff about clearing out and not serving old and or damaged lettuce. It makes me question cleanliness. Just doesn't seem like the normal food I get from here. This is a one off but man it was alarming after seeing how fresh the salads typically are! Hopefully this will just improve your food prep.

    Do they have indoor seating available?

    No. It's a small space.

    Is it halal? I want my friend to try Korean Fried Chicken, but need to make sure it is halal. Thanks!

    Hi Erika, unfortunately our food is not Halal. Sorry about that, but we so appreciate you sharing about us with your friend. It means so much to us <3

    Is there a vegan option for the cauliflower Sammy?

    Their bread isn't vegan so no. The only vegan option is a caulflower plate or bowl.

    Should I get the chicken wings or the chicken tenders? Also, what is the least spicy chicken there?

    The chicken tenders are so good! The spicy ones are really good but they are hot

    Do they use egg or dairy to bread their chicken?

    Yes

Happies is located in Arts District and I came here on a Sunday dinner and didn't have any problems with parking. But, I can see how it might be hard to find if you come during peak hours. The restaurant was pretty empty. First thing I noticed was that there were tons of employees but no one really said anything. Since there was no one ordering, they were all standing around. You can just order at the kiosk but I wanted to ask a few questions but was kind of left to fend for myself. I ended up ordering the chicken tenders and chicken tenders with salad. I thought the restaurant ambience was nice. And after waiting for about 10 minutes, my order came out. They gave me extra sauce but again no explanation on why the extra sauce was provided. As for the food, I thought the chicken was kind of bland. I expected some Sichuan style but hardly any spice on the chicken. Once of the sauces was a Sichuan chili crisp, which gave the chicken more taste. Maybe the chicken was bland because I was supposed to dip it in the sauces? Aside from that, the other sauces were average (ranch and sweet/sour sauce). The salad was definitely a huge miss. They didn't dress the salad properly and only put dressing on top, so I just got a bunch of romaine lettuce at the end. The best part of my meal was the fries, which was crispy and fresh. Also, the fries were pretty generous. I think that the food was just average. Probably will not come back here but glad I came to check out what the hype was about.

This joint however, they got it right Nestled in what looks like an industrial zone and a kin to dive a bar and an AA meeting place, is Humble Bird. A straight basic fried chicken joint that serves out Memphis hot sandos that are juicy, warm, and oh, so good. Definitely in my top five. Definitely. I did medium heat, which really wasn't warm to me, but it was flavorful and you could actually taste the floral of peppercorn. The pickles were crunchy and the slaw had something secret. I'm thinking it was reddish added, but I'm not sure. Either way it was great and went perfect on the sandwich . I also got a side of their spiced up fries and, though I'm not a big fries guy, these are spot on. The chef that came up with this mix of spices and herbs, nailed it. It's definitely not close to me, but I would definitely find a way to return. Probably try the cheese melt chicken sando next Whomever lives near here or if YOU happen to in the area, try it. I think you'll be satisfied. (Note: the sando id much bigger live) Enjoy

The long crinkle cut fries were golden, crispy on the outside, and soft inside. They had a really good texture and tasted fresh. The sandwiches came on long buns kind of like the style KFC uses, but the chicken was way better. The chicken was juicy, tender, crispy, and packed with seasoning in every bite. The special sauce on top pulled everything together perfectly. I tried the Kluckin' Hot level and it had a really nice kick without being overwhelming.

It wasn't too salty, it wasn't dry, they weren't trying to over season the plate due to a lack of cooking skills, the portions were generous, and they definitely didn't hold back for the seasoning on the fries. I could see the flakes and the color of their marinade on the fries to the point where I have to get an additional order of it à la carte. The place was well lit and clean, and I enjoyed the most mostly all white aesthetic. I would describe the employee who served me as a gentleman. Someone who cared about the person he was talking to and wanted them to have a good experience. We even shared a few sentiments in our native tongue. Nobody in this establishment is desperate for compliments or review, but I can only hope that they get a chance to read it and know that their service, demeanor and conduct were appreciated far beyond the plate of food.
