    Chicken combo
    Emily L.

    Great chicken in town! The prices are slightly on the higher side, and there aren't many indoor tables. I noticed that multiple employees (4-5 at a time) were on break, which took up some tables and left fewer spots for customers. I love their pasta--I was craving it, and it did not disappoint! Everyone recommended trying the chicken sandwich, but honestly, it was just okay and not very impressive. Still, the chicken itself is really good and worth trying.

    TBH I love this place, the chicken and food is good most of the time. But what I will say and advise is to check your order every time! It doesn't matter if you feel embarrassed or holding up the line, I swear to you it "never fails" that they either forget or give you the wrong order. If you go often you know this, this should be studied or maybe a social experiment between friends, etc when coming. Save yourself the time and the hassle of going back because they don't care check in the car! If the order seems to come out faster than usual, check it lol, check the soda it never fails as well, but if you dnt want fail order pineapple drink because that is the only thing they constantly replace and check, thank you.

    Jollibee on Beverly Blvd isn't just a fast-food joint--it's a cultural embassy disguised as a fried chicken temple. The moment you walk in, the ambiance hits you: bright red walls, buzzing lines, families laughing, kids hyped on spaghetti, and the giant smiling bee mascot staring down like it knows your deepest secrets. It's not décor--it's dopamine in plastic chairs. This location is legendary. Anthony Bourdain rolled in here with David Choe, cementing it as the kind of spot where food icons and locals collide over gravy rice. If it's good enough for Bourdain, it's good enough for you. This isn't foodie pretension--it's fried democracy. The chicken? Crispy, golden, juicy--KFC died for our sins so Jollibee could rise again. The Amazing Aloha Burger (with pineapple!) is absurd and brilliant. It's not a burger, it's a luau in your mouth. And the Halo-Halo? Shaved ice, ube, flan, beans, fruit--it sounds like chaos, but it eats like genius. Dessert by Salvador Dalí, and somehow it works. Service is shockingly polite--employees say "please" and "thank you" like they actually mean it. In LA fast food, that's rarer than free parking. You don't just eat here--you get knighted. Halo-Halo is chaos theory perfected. If Bourdain bowed here, you can too. Jollibee Beverly is nuclear-level amazing. Legendary ambiance, chicken that slaps, burgers that flip the pineapple debate, Halo-Halo that rewrites dessert, and service that makes you feel like royalty. It's not just a meal--it's an experience, a vibe, a cult I'm proud to join. Eat at the bee.

    A few coworkers mentioned this place stating that the chicken was really good and I had to try it. I went to the east la location and ordered the 6pc with a spaghetti and fries side plus a deluxe burger and peach pie. The Staff were friendly and the order in the drive thru went quick. The chicken was salty and greasy, not how my coworkers described. The side of spaghetti was good but the fries were cold and bland. The deluxe burger was tasty, I asked for extra pickles and they charged me, im like for pickles?! The peach pie was short and sweet. Personally, not my favorite but I gave it a try

    I order here from DoorDash when I'm at work and once in a while we also go to the store to dine in or take out. Food - I already know what to expect. As a family we love the fried chicken, burger steak and spaghetti. When I order DoorDash and it's only for me I always get the adobo rice with my chicken joy. Restaurant is busy weekends - most of the time the tables are not cleaned so you'll have to ask them to clean it. Fast food so when we go we do not linger. I've had to go orders and delivery - chicken is still ok and crispy.

    Chicken Sandwich Original Chicken Sandwich

    Last week, I visited another Jollibee location, and it was so tempting that when I was cruising by this one, I thought, "Why not give it a go here?" I was just looking for a quick snack, but boy, did I get a lesson in patience. I was the fourth car in the drive-thru line, and it took almost 15 minutes to get my food and escape. I mean, 15 minutes isn't terrible, but still, it's like waiting for your bubble tea when you're starving; it could be better. Now, let's talk parking or should I say parking chaos. This location sits in a super packed area, and the drive-thru spills right into the street. so getting in and out is like a mini obstacle course. Cars were struggling left and right, and I swear, I thought I might end up in a game of bumper cars. Definitely not the most relaxing drive-thru experience. But once I got to the window, a little sunshine appeared: the lady taking my order was super nice. She hustled and got my spicy chicken sandwich ready fast, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait! That sandwich had a nice kick, and I was a happy camper. I also tried their pineapple punch for the first time. it was sweet, a bit sugar-bomb-y, but hey, who doesn't love a tropical sugar rush? Then, I dove into their ube cake,. It was warm, almost too warm, like it came straight out of a microwave. Sadly, it was a bit of a letdown. I mean, it was fine, but it felt like a copy of the apple pie or peach pie you grab at McDonald's. I probably wouldn't order it again, though maybe I'd try their pineapple crunch next time but still on the fence. The real star of the show, though, was that spicy chicken sandwich. I'm definitely going to come back for that. I'm kind of in love with it these days. Just a word of warning, though: if you come here, brace yourself for a parking nightmare and a drive-thru that's about as organized as a toddler's toy box. I stayed in my car and didn't peek inside, so I can't comment on the interior, but if you've got time and a deep breath, it's worth a visit just maybe pack some snacks for the wait!

    Swung by the Jollibee on Beverly Blvd in LA--right off the 101, near that big "Historic Filipinotown" arch. First time at this location, but not my first Jollibee rodeo. Place was clean, staff was polite, and the food came out hot and fast, just how I like it. We ordered the chicken strips, spicy chicken combo, and the spicy chicken sandwich--everything was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and had that signature sweet-savory Filipino flavor. The spicy stuff has a decent kick, but nothing that'll wreck your day. We also grabbed about 10 peach mango pies to split between the group--those things are flaky, golden, and filled with molten fruit lava in the best way possible. Picked up a few ube pies too. Not my first time having ube pie, and I still like it. Sweet and creamy with that earthy ube flavor that's hard to explain but easy to love. The vibe in the area was cool--lots of character, and it was kinda nice seeing a part of LA that proudly reps Filipino culture. If you're cruising through that stretch of town and see the jolly bee logo, do yourself a favor and stop. It's worth it.

    Two piece spicy chicken with palabok fiesta meal.

    This was a delivery order on a rainy day. I was craving Jollibee fried chicken. Unfortunately, I had a disappointing and confused experience because I've had Jollibee a few times from other locations and I had pleasant experiences. The presentation of my meals from this location looked amazing and I was excited to dig in. First couple bites into the spicy fried chicken hit the spot-crunchy skin, tender meat, and nice kick of spicy Tabasco-y flavor. However, by the second piece, I noticed a strange smell coming from the chicken and how slimy it was. Initially, I thought maybe it was because of the spice oil on the chicken made it glisten so I didn't finish it. Moved onto other dishes. Tried palabok for the first time and it was ok. The noodles stuck together (probably because it was from delivery and chilly weather). I typically enjoy a good vermicelli noodle dishes, but wouldn't get this again. Also ordered the KAYSEYE two piece kbbq meal set. The soda I gave it to my dad so it's not shown in photos. The sides I chose were the mashed potatoes with gravy and adobo rice. Enjoyed the adobo rice. It was much needed to combat all the spicy fried chicken and saucy kbbq. The mashed potatoes...was bland. The gravy was ok on its own, but still didn't save the potatoes. The kbbq chicken was very...too saucy. First bite was good but then it became inedible for me. The skin held that crispy texture with the heavy sauce as long as it could lol. Flavor was a mesquite bbq sauce-tangy and very sweet. I wanted to finish the chicken, but I just couldn't get past the funky smell and sliminess of the chicken meat. I'm not sure if I was served poor quality old chicken or if the rainy weather had something to do with it.. I ended up just finishing the adobo rice and the two mango and ube pies that I have additionally ordered (photo unavailable). The pies never disappointed me lol. Cannot provide a review about the service staff since this was a delivery order from postmates.

    2pc Chickenjoy w/ 2 Sides

    Off the bat the service was great it was my 1st time trying Jollibee and it didn't disappoint. I got their 2 piece spicy chicken with 2 sides and pineapple quencher and I went with Adobo rice and mashed potatoes for the 2 sides a little extra for the rice but worth it and I didn't know they give you a side of gravy to dip the chicken in which is unique and a great idea very good btw! The restaurant was clean there was a lot of people so I ordered to go and you get $5 off your first order when you download the app that's pretty neat! The leg was very nice and juicy but the thigh was skimped barely any meat but still it was good I would definitely go again and I do recommend it especially cause they give you fresh food!

    To-go bag is too cute!

    It's my first time ever at Jollibee! Hearing a lot about them for a long time and finally feel brave enough to try. This location is incredibly busy. Not sure if because it's the weekend or their collaboration with Katseye that draws such a huge crowd. Despite being knee deep in customers, the staffs notice and help me right away at the "claim" station. So glad I order online because it takes only 5 minutes to get my food while every one else is waiting around! -spicy chickenjoy fried chicken has satisfying crust and plenty of Cajun-leaning seasoning. Meat is not dry but also not much flavor. Days later I still don't know how I feel about dipping it in gravy -not sure what I expect from adobo rice, maybe more umami, but it tastes like a very bland version of soy sauce fried rice -spaghetti is interesting. It's served al dente and the sauce is not bad but not enough to adequately coat all noodles. In other words, need more sauce! -Katseye special kbbq fried chicken is the only standout item for me. It's sweet, salty, spicy, and saucy. It's drenched in all the right notes and still managed to be crunchy! I hope they keep this in the regular menu because I would only come back for this.

    I think this is the only location in LA that serves palabok, I checked a few others and they don't have it. I also really love their pineapple drink and the ube pie.

    Deluxe Chicken Sandwich
    Dee E.

    I really was hoping for something truly out of the ordinary. I didn't get that. The service was not good nor bad. Just very disinterested. I was fine with that still because I was hoping the food would be worth it. I was there with my family. The restaurant was not full but they seemed to have a lot of people picking up food. We waiting for about 20-25 for our food. When we got it, I was missing a sandwich, which is fine it happens. Luckily I had ordered some sides to try, so I didn't worry too much about the sandwich, then 2 of the sandwiches that were ordered deluxe, did not have the lettuce and tomato. The food was just not really for me. The spaghetti is too sweet. I personally didn't find it pleasing. The adobo rice tasted like shrimp fried rice. Which was a little surprising, I was expecting more of a Spanish style rice. I feel like it didn't go with what I was eating. The mashed potatoes were really good. Very light, the gravy was quite tasty. The spicy chicken was not spicy at all. Which is fine, just don't call it spicy. I truly felt like there was a lack in flavor in all the food. Two of us ordered the pineapple Quencher, not sweet and too much ice. I feel like the ice diluted our drink. Which is a real bummer because of course we could just get soda and pay less. And finally we got a mango peach pie to share to decide if we should all get one to go. No way did I think dessert could disappoint. But the pie was bland, didnt even taste the fruit just a semi sweet syrup. This was not what I expected. There is one restroom. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Parking is available as well.

    They have food deals and meals which in Arizona doesn't have and I love it. Food was good as well. The cashier was soooo friendly and approachable. She's very jolly. Just that when they serve our food they forgot to put the gravy and the lemon on out tray. The inside was so tight so we have to sit outside, the weather was great so it's tolerable to eat outside.

I hadn't been here in years, so it was nice to come back after such a long time. The chicken is definitely tasty, but unfortunately, they grilled it a little too much this time and some of it was quite burnt. I guess that's partly because they grill the chicken directly on the grill. And, too spicy for me : both chicken and fries.

The staff were very friendly, which was good. However, there's one thing to keep in mind when getting takeout here: the chicken is so oily that the grease can actually soak through and leak all over the plastic bag. You basically have to throw the first plastic bag away afterward. That's why I'm really glad I asked for an extra bag and brought one home with me. It definitely came in handy!

This time, we decided to try the Chinatown location since the traffic going toward Pasadena looked terrible. This location is pretty small and doesn't really seem set up for dining in. It feels more takeout-focused, although they do have some tables outside so we sat there. They didn't have the Mild+ spice level that the Pasadena location offers so I ordered two Mild and one Medium chicken tenders. I also got a side of collard greens after seeing several reviews recommending them. I felt like the spice level was higher at this location than at the Pasadena one. Even the Mild was definitely spicier than I remembered! It still had really good flavor, though. I also really enjoyed the collard greens and was glad I decided to try them. I'm not sure if it's just this location or if all of their locations do this now but they also gave us bottled water for free, which was nice. One thing I really liked about the Chinatown location was the parking. There's a huge parking lot across the street so finding a spot was easy. I prefer the Pasadena location for dining in but its parking lot is very small and finding a spot can be difficult. We'll definitely go back to Howlin' Ray's when we visit LA again next spring. We just haven't decided which location we'll choose next time!

    Stopped here for a quick bite to eat after attending an event at the Regency Theatres upstairs…read more There is a parking lot with plenty of spaces and you can validate for free/reduced parking fees. There are a lot of different options on the menu, which was a bit overwhelming for my first time, but we decided on getting a half order of their classic boneless chicken in the signature Pelicana sauce, which was a delicious choice. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy, and the sauce was a great blend of heat, sweetness, and garlic. Everything was ordered on a tablet that is at each table, and there was one staff member assisting the whole restaurant when I visited on a Sunday afternoon; she was kind, helpful, and provided great service. I also ordered the Peli Shaken Fries which had a nice sweet and savory flavor that complemented the chicken well. The Kimchi Fried Rice was warm, cheesy, but ultimately a little salty for my taste. Overall, the space has a modern and cozy feel, and I can see this being a good spot to grab some drinks and food with friends.

    Pelicana is a korean fried chicken chain, starting in South Korea in 1983, and now having over…read more2,000 locations around the world. It has over 28 locations in the U.S. with many locations centered around the East Coast (specifically the New York metro area) and West Coast (LA metro area). This location in LA Koreatown is one of six in Los Angeles county, and the first one my wife and I have been to. Even with a hiccup, we had a good experience with the food and service. Pelicana is the feminine form of Pelican in Spanish, and represents the idea of sharing food, feeding loved ones. I prefer this style of eating, where dishes are shared across dining companions, allowing sampling of various dishes. In this case, it was just my wife and me so ended up ordering a simple 1/2 order of their chicken. My wife is not a fan of the Yangnyeom sauce (which was actually popularized by Pelicana), so got the soy garlic, which is also good. As soon as we sat down, we got a side dish of finely shredded cabbage. Orders are placed in the tableside kiosk, and I placed three separate orders: once for the chicken ($17), then for fries once I realized I had forgotten to order ($8), then for a pint of Goose Island draft ($7). After a short wait, the fries were delivered. They were the standard shoestring-cut fries (similar to Mcdonalds), and they were fine. But then we waited for a while. KFC is made to order, so knew there would be a wait. But when I realized a take out order taken after mine had been fulfilled, did I walk up to front to ask about my order. It felt as if the rest of the order had been somehow missed. The hostess was genuinely sheepish by the mistake (wherever it was made) and it went a LONG way to make our dining experience so much better. The draft beer came immediately after, then the chicken and new batch of fries came came a bit after that. She threw in some free twisted mochi balls (filled with chocolate or caramel: definitely worth getting if you like mochi).. And the slightly hoppy Goose Island tap beer went really well with the crispy (and very sticky) chicken. The chicken itself was good (eight pieces for half a chicken) with a sweet not very garlicy soy based sauce, meant to be eaten right away. Comparable to the more ubiquitous bb.q chicken that we typically go to. Still looking for that chicken whose coating shatters on the first bite, though. The bill came to the table, and the three separate orders had been combined into one. We paid the bill directly with the hostess, and brought back some leftovers. Good thing that the takeout containers had been tightly wrapped in plastic bags...the sauce leaked everywhere.

    Bang!!! Your head will explode this place is mind blowing. I'm here on my 494th Diners Drive Inns…read moreand Dives visit and I was blown away! First off the place is sleek and cool. Very modern and welcoming. So was the lovely lady behind the counter. The menu is sleek just Chien and fish sandos prepared a handful of ways. They have chicken strips and fries and an additional caviar topping. I wasn't trying that today but to each his own Surprisingly they have special beverages, today I tried the blood orange lemonade, it was a must with the spicy level of the chicken sandwich. Gang! This place is a MUST TRY!!!

    This was somewhat of a big mess. Let me say upfront that everyone I dealt with was friendly, and…read morethe chicken sandwich was probably the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. Even so, I probably won't go back. We showed up and the place was pretty much empty, with just a couple of tables occupied. We ordered, sat down, and waited. And waited. I couldn't help but notice that all of the tables that were there before us had been served, while bags of food kept going out the door for takeout orders. I understand that this isn't fast food, but seriously, I have an issue with waiting 35 minutes for a fried chicken sandwich, especially when the restaurant isn't busy. Adding insult to injury, when our food finally arrived, the server said, "Thank you so much for being patient!" That made me wonder if this kind of wait is normal. Instead of acknowledging that something had gone wrong, it felt like the long wait was simply being brushed off. The frustrating part is that the sandwich and fries were excellent. The chicken sandwich really may have been the best I've ever had, which makes the whole experience even more disappointing. Great food, friendly people, but a 35-minute wait for a chicken sandwich in an almost empty restaurant is enough to keep me from going back.
