Nestled in a small strip mall along Hayes Road, just south of Canal Road in Clinton Township, they are directly south of the newer car wash. My first time here, I ordered a #1 Meal Combo from the menu on the video screen. The meal consisted of a chicken sandwich and an order of fries - $13. I also ordered a 12 oz. can of Coca-Cola - $2. The sandwich can be made to your liking along a spiciness scale from no spice to light to heavy spice. Hence, the "hot chicken" was just that, right from the start. The spiceyness is rated on a scale of 0 to 10. I took a Level 5 for my meal. I was very pleased with my selection. Each encounter with an employee was excellent. They explained the menu, took my order, and delivered with a genuine smile The sandwich was delicious! The fries were seasoned, but good. I might try just the sandwich next time to lower the cost a bit. By all outward appearances, the restaurant is modern looking, and well organized. The dining area was neat and clean. A major disappointment came when I ventured into the Men's room. The soap dispensers were empty, the paper towel dispenser was empty and the fit and finish overall was not up to modern restaurant standards. And it could have used a good cleaning. I will probably stop in again in the future to try out a couple other items in the menu. I wandered in to the restaurant a few days earlier to find out what LA Hot Chicken was all about. They don't have any kind of printed menus available. As I looked over the video menu on the screen in front of me, the cashier discussed with me the various menu items. I discovered that the menu offerings were Korean inspired. Satisfied with what I learned, I decided to visit in a couple days.
After watching a video reviewing a fairly new restaurant, just down the road, I was eager to try it. It was a smart decision! I ordered the Chicken Sandwich, with medium heat (options are from No Heat to Really Hot.) Medium was just right for me (tingle on the tongue and lip area), which was offset by a creamy coleslaw and pickle slices, on a toasted tasty bun. I also appreciated that the chicken wasn't those huge slices that are clunky and dry to bite into. I really enjoyed. The thing I bought were the half dozen Chicken Dumplings. These also were terrific (perfect crunch factor and soft mixture inside.) Luckily, I bought 2 orders of those, so I'll have more to eat with the second half of the sandwich. The space is big. There were a couple of arcade games, and lots of tables. Good menu, that allows for decent choices. The No Heat/Heat options make your meal customizable. As I looked around, I kept thinking the layout and menu would make LA Hot a great place for college students or family/friend groups to gather. Canned Pop is available. Btw, I don't like Corn dogs, but the Mozz Corn Dog eaten on the video has me soooooo tempted. Definitely, next visit! A Korean family owns Hot C, with son Issac the front man. Super nice, helpful. Definitely , worth trying out this unique restaurant. I enjoyed it a lot.
This is a low key place on a strip mall. Don't let that fool you as the food is awesome. Give them some love.
This place has been in my Yelp list for a bit since i first started seeing the glowing reviews pop up. Am I ever glad I did. I'm happy to add another 5 star review. For reference here is how I determine 1-5 stars 5= worth driving out of your way to eat this food, you won't regret your decision 4= Exceptionally good, but not necessarily as a destination 3= Fine, nothing exceptional but nothing horrible either 2= Be prepared for disappointment if you are somehow left with no other options 1= Avoid at all costs LA Hot Chicken is definitely a 5, forget Popeyes or Chick Fil A.....support a local business instead I knew I was in good hands when the first thing I was told after completing my order was that it would be an 11min wait because every is cooked to order. I got the chicken sandwich and fries. I chose mild spice on the advice of the host who said the medium had a kick. My old tastebuds can't handle spice like the used to. The brioche was nicely toasted and the chicken was topped with a not too creamy Cole slaw and 3 pickles. The chicken was one of the best I've ever had..wonderful crispy and with the perfect amount of heat. This was an exceptional sandwich The fries were also hot and crispy. Overall a wonderful experience and at $13 for the combo a great value
Door Dashed on a miserable Sunday while watching football and was very happy I did. Let me tell you, this was one tender and juicy piece of meat. I actually needed a napkin to wipe my chin in between bites. TMI I know but don't even care! Do not hesitate to order. If they hit it this out of the park with a carryout, I can imagine their dine in being even better!
The service at this place was beyond 5 star, and way better than a lot of high end restaurants. The lady suggested where we should seat for most comfortable seating, she gave me extra maple syrup at request without charging me extra, she took our trays at the end and walked us to the door when leaving. She was very polite, and helpful in explaining things. The food is made to order. The food was very very good, not super oily, the flavours were there. They have plenty of seating, comfortable, and spacious. They have a few arcade games in the corner. If I had anything negative to say then I wish the chicken pieces were slightly bigger, although it was plenty of food for lunch. The chicken is halal.
Late post: Went there a couple of months ago after seeing the good reviews about it. I ordered kpopcorn chicken in soy garlic and sweet & spicy flavors. I also ordered a spicy chicken sandwich with fries. All to go. It was kind of busy. Nobody was eating in, but a lot of carry out. I waited quite a bit (they do warn you about the wait. As they cook to order). The staff was very friendly. The inside of the restaurant was kind of dark. I was there in the afternoon. And they had the door propped open. And the light was just coming from the windows and doors. When I got home ans we tasted the food, it was very good. The sweet and spicy might be too spicy for others. All in all it was good food and we love korean chicken. Will definitely be back and try to dine in so we can try the wings, so it can be crispy.
OMG BECKY WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!! OUTSTANDING CHICKEN SANDWICH. Derrick and I were craving chicken. I am fairly new to the hot chicken sandwich crowd. I know why they have a crowd!!! This sandwich was incredible with the fire sauce. The heat level did not disappoint. I love it hot. You can get it mild, too. They had a sauce with a skull on it, I saw it after I ordered. I will try that next time. The sandwich was so tender and crunchy with a bun that could hold all of that goodness! The owners are very kind and deserve our business. I know good food and this is it!!! Hot Chicken in the city!!! The wings look amazing, too.
Skip Chik-fil-a and Popeyes and get LA Hot chicken instead!! Not only are you supporting a local business but also fresh quality ingredients and a scrumptious meal! First of all, best hot crispy chicken sandwich I've had in Michigan. It was flavorful, tender, juicy and hot (even after a 15 minute drive in my car) the pickles are good and I loved the coleslaw and sauce. The coleslaw was very fresh and I could tell it had been made by hand. Brioche bun suited the sandwich perfectly and I was surprised on how big it was. A large bun and the chicken was still peeking out the edges for the perfect bite! Fries were good! I really enjoyed the depth of the flavor as it was more than just "spicy" and the light crispy breading is 100% absolute! My coworker got onion rings and they were crispy and delicious and came with tasty dipping sauces. The food isn't overly oily for being fried and they keep their oil clean as everything had a great taste. The interior is cute and very clean and I'm excited to eat in next time I visit and order a bubble tea and sample the wings. The service was great and I had a lovely conversation with who I believe was one of the owners. The chef brought my carry out to me and was also very friendly. I think the price was right for the quality / quantity received. For $9.75 price on just the sandwich, I've paid comparable or more for a less tasty sandwich at several fast food restaurants/ bars. I will be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family.
TLDR: LA Hot Chicken is a great place to get your fill of fried chicken with some Korean add-ons. Sue, the person running the shop, was very kind and inviting. For my dinner, I ordered item #1, the chicken sandwich and fries, as well as Korean style cucumbers as a side. I specifically ordered the sandwich with the "extreme fire" spiciness level, which was the hottest available spice level offered. The chicken sandwich itself was delicious. It was not greasy in any way and had a nice balance of bun to fried chicken to toppings. The spiciness level, while being advertised as using Carolina reapers, was middling, though I won't hold that against the business. For those that regularly eat spicy, the sandwich will have a nice kick at the "extreme fire" level. The fries that came with the chicken sandwich were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. On top of being well seasoned, the fries came with a custom Korean-inspired dipping sauce that was savory as well. The Korean style cucumbers, often seen as a banchan (side dish) in Korean restaurants, were fresh and well seasoned. They served as a nice palate cleanser between bites of the sandwich and fries. Overall, I would love to come back to this establishment and eat more. I may even want to use the lounge area in the back with the foosball table if I bring friends. read more
Absolute must try. Korean inspired fried chicken is never a bad lunch option. The place is very clean and there is plenty of room to accommodate large parties. I was surprised and upset to see the place empty when I visited them during my lunch break. The young man who took my order was a wonderful host and gave me a can of pop on him, which was generous considering I was a new customer. I ordered the popcorn chicken with sweet & spicy sauce as well as a side of fries which came with its own mayo-based dipping sauce. All the flavors and textures were there, and the seasoning was just right. read more
We ordered takeout tonight for dinner. My Husband said the employees were very nice while he was in there picking it up. The restaurant was very clean. We both ordered chicken sandwiches. He went with "hot" and I ordered "extreme fire". He added fries and the crispy potato and mozzarella corn dog. I tried the corn dog and it was SO good! Everything was very high quality. It's important to note that the sandwich has slaw and pickles on top. It isn't listed in their menu, but we knew ahead of time because of the pictures. The extreme fire was definitely spicy, but not very extreme for someone who likes spice- so if you are a fan of spice, go for it. We look forward to going back. I would like to try the miso, dumplings, and more. Thank you! read more

Soft opening both today and tomorrow (10/1 & 10/2) they have a limited menu currently, but will be expanding once they open fully. Tried the popcorn chicken with K Sweet & Spicy Sauce and the Chicken sandwich with slaw and pickles. All were very good, very crispy and flavorful. I got the "hot" spice level, which is their 2nd most spicy level and it was quite hot. I usually order hot level Thai food and love spicy food and this definitely was a challenge, so beware! Excited to try them again once they open fully. read more

Came in based on recommendations on ELM Facebook page. We will most definitely be back. You walk in and order/pay at the counter. You can then sit anywhere and they will bring food out to you. We ordered two sandwiches: one mild and one medium. Both were very good. The medium packed the heat. Tried the potstickers. They were okay. Owner is one of the kindest people I have ever met. If you mention it is your first time, you will get a free soft drink. read more

So so yummy! If you're in the mood for some really good high quality chicken I highly recommend stopping by! We tried the new chicken and waffles and it was one of the best we've had! My personal favorite was the chicken sandwich combo but I love the flavors of the popcorn chicken. Honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu! Hands down the best chicken restaurant around here. It's not full of batter but real chicken, good flavor, crispy, and hot! 10/10 have to try if you haven't already! read more
