I saw photos of the fried chicken here that looks sooo good so I made my way to Long Beach to check it out. My three friends and I shared the whole chicken meal that came with a salad and sauces.They had very interesting to see Asian fusion sauces and they were very tasty paired with the chicken. The chicken was ok.. a bit too much batter for my liking. The batter was super crunch but the ratio of batter to chicken was a bit off. Overall decent, but probably would not return.

I finally made it to Lacquered!! Our friendly chicken-everything neighborhood restaurant / takeout place. Didn't know what to order, so I asked Scott "I made curry and would like to have some chicken katsu." He started to tell me what he can do and I went with his flow, got some fries, beet pickles and for dessert mint chocolate fudge too. I also received two different sauces! This place is so homey, like you're in Scott's kitchen enjoying the food he makes. I love, love, love this place! Will be back soon! BTW.... The chicken is scrumptious and the fries made with real potatoes and the beets are pickled to excellence. There's a kick behind your mouth when you swallow it. Masterful!!

Yummy

Food is amazing and the host are super friendly to get to know. I have been to this location 3-4 times, but the food always amazing.

Fried Chicken Sandwich, Fried JUMBO Chicken Tender, garlic noodles, Ceasar salad

I'm sorry but... Mediocre at best :( Leaving a 4 star because I don't want to hurt their rating, maybe it was an off night. Big portions, order was exactly what we ordered. But honestly nothing was even close to great. Tenders and fries were decent. Chicken sando (2nd heat level) was very whatever. Sloppy, two huge tenders with overdressed salad and pickled jalapeños between the buns. Noodles were decent. Ceasar was drenched in dressing and we threw it out after a few bites :(

Fried Chicken, Spicy Peanut Coleslaw (Gluten Free & Vegan), Signature Garlic NoodlesNoodles

Best Fried Chicken in Long Beach, hands down. Actually, possibly the best fried chicken of all time and I've had fried chicken all over the country. The chicken is already delicious on its own but when you pair it with any of their homemade sauce options, it's just simply perfection. It's even good in a sandwich. The sides here are delicious too. My favorite is the garlic noodles but don't sleep on their fries or peanut slaw. Not in the mood for fried chicken? No problem! They have other protein options too. I had their keto bowl with pork belly on my first visit and would definitely order again. It's a small space so plan on getting takeout but if you do see an empty table, grab it and enjoy the cool ambiance and great service from Diana and Scott. They're both amazing "pawrents" to their Husky/Shepherd mix named Butter and Chef Diana makes homemade dog treats in his honor! Our fur baby Frank is a huge fan of all their treats and is currently enjoying the chicken hearts. If you're in the mood for homemade food for you and your dog, then stop by Lacquered right now!

Pork belly bowl
LeAnn F.

The chef/owner is super nice. Always giving recommendations. I rarely see this place open but when I do I'm rushing to the door. It takes 15 mins for them to prepare the food. He always gives me little sample of sauces to try. The place is tiny. Just 2 tables to eat inside. He plays country music on the speakers. I love their fried chicken. It's juicy in the inside and crispy on the outside. I love the garlic sauce. The pork belly bowl has that nice bite texture to it. The rice itself is alright but once you add the sauce it makes a different. The garlic nood-rittos burrito wasn't my favorite because it just was too much noodle and heavy to eat. But I love always coming to this place. Next time i want to try the salmon rice bowl.

Grab and go brunch

1st timers today, and will def not be our last visit…read more Shout-out to the Yelp reviews lead us to this Amazing Smash burger joint. Our order: -Onion rings (the right batter to sliced onion ratio & delicious seasoning); -the french fries- crispy and the right amount of salt seasoning *dipped into their Jalapeno ranch, and you will be left smiling!* -the Works: What a burger! I love Portabello mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Persian cucumbers, so when I read that on the menu, I knew I had to order this, and I am not disappointed! This hit the spot. The smash patty topped with my favorites made for a perfect burger filling party. -the Don Chendo burger- the salsa Don Chendo on a jalapeño-Cheddar bun - culinary innovation at its finest! For non-spicy eaters like myself, you can eat this. This is definitely tolerable spice with a delicious flavor that overrules any "heat". The buttery, softness of the bun with the cheddar and jalapenos melted into it compliment the flavors of the patty, red onions and Chendo sauce. Having a burger is a rare craving for us, and thankfully our taste buds led us here this time that we did, because we were left, not only satisfied, but can safely say that this is one of the fewest Exceptional burgers we have tried thus far. Burgers are huge too! You def get more bang for your buck here. Staff was very welcoming, friendly and attentive toward us. We truly appreciated the warm greeting and them making sure we felt comfortable with their product deliveries coming in/out of the restaurant while we ate. Not too big & not too small of a place. Ample seating booths make for a comfy social occasion. We highly recommend to All! & will return again!

Sideburns is a true hidden gem in Long Beach; conveniently located right next to The Stache Bar…read more I originally came for the Vegan Breakfast Burrito; and it absolutely delivered. Refried beans; crispy tots; vegan cheese; avocado; mushrooms -- hearty; filling; and layered properly. But what really makes this burrito stand out are the house-made sauces. The salsa has the perfect heat; and their vegan dipping sauce elevates the entire experience. You can taste the intention. Now let's talk about the burger. The vegan burger is not an afterthought here. It's juicy; well-seasoned; and balanced. The texture is on point; the toppings are fresh; and it holds its structure without falling apart. You can tell they care about execution. Between the house-made sauces; the fusion flavor profile; and the consistency across both items; Sideburns earns its spot. If you're in Long Beach and want vegan comfort food done right; this is absolutely worth pulling up to.

If you're looking for a solid Thai spot in Long Beach, this has become one of our family's feel…read moregood go to places. Every dish we've tried has been full of flavor and genuinely worth ordering. Surprisingly, compared to other Thai spots, it's usually not overly packed and honestly I'm almost scared to say that because I don't want it to change. The service has always been great, the food comes out quickly, and the portions/prices feel reasonable. So far, our favorites have been the pad see ew, tom yum soup (medium spice), egg fried rice, fried calamari and the beef BBQ which was so good we immediately ordered a second plate. The mango sticky rice is also really good, but the portion is on the smaller side, so we ended up getting two orders since one plate is hard to share with more than 2-3 people. Parking has been easy for us so far since there's both a parking lot and nearby street parking. Definitely one of our favorite restaurants that's officially in our regular rotation.

KIN Thai Cuisine in Long Beach off Broadway is a really solid spot…read more Parking is available, but it is limited, so just keep that in mind depending on the time you go. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, including the restrooms, which I always appreciate. The staff was very customer service oriented and did a great job making suggestions and giving tips about the menu and spice levels, which was super helpful. I started with the Money Bags, which are basically fried dumplings. Mine were a little overcooked, almost close to burnt. They still had decent flavor, but I'd personally rate them about a 2.9 out of 5. I also had the green papaya salad with mild spice, and the spice level was perfect, especially for people who are sensitive to heat. I usually stick around medium spice at Thai restaurants, but even the mild here still gives you a nice kick. For my drink, I got the Thai tea, which came topped with a Thai tea popsicle that slowly melted into the drink. Such a cute touch, creative, and tasty. For my entrée, I had the basil garlic sauce with sliced steak and a side of rice, which I really enjoyed. For dessert, we shared the mango sticky rice. It was good, but I do feel like it was a little overpriced for the portion size. Maybe part of that is because of the specialty rice they use that has the purple hue. I know a few places in Long Beach where you can get more for the same price. That said, the presentation was really cute with the flower garnish and everything looked beautiful. The atmosphere was nice. It has an open kitchen concept, so you can actually see the cooking happening, which adds to the experience. Seating is somewhat limited and the tables are fairly close together in certain sections, especially where the divider walls are, so you can definitely hear nearby conversations depending on where you sit. Great food, clean restaurant, and strong customer service. I'd definitely come back. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy + sour) Pungent and intense (spicy and bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary

Since we made it for happy hour we were able to get some zucchini sticks for $5. They were crispy and delicious. Really flavorful and soft on the inside. I got the meatloaf Sam- which which was HUGE. My husband got the Tuesday special which was a smash burger with fries and a drink for $15.99. He got a margarita as his drink so he got a great deal. The burger was a little small but he ate the other half of my giant sandwich so it worked out. The meatloaf sandwich had a delicious crispy sourdough bread with a lot of melted cheese. I added some ranch as I thought it was a bit dry but overall it was good. It came with a big helping of fries as well and I got the garlic fries. They were very garlicky but so good with the ranch. My parents got the Cobb salad and the turkey pop pie. My mom didn't love the pop pie, I think because it wasn't really a pie- just a dish with biscuits on top but the Cobb salad was really hearty with a lot of toppings and it filled them up plenty. They ended up taking most of the pop pie to go. This place has a lot of great deals so make sure you check them out. I think Thursday's kids eat free so it can get a little crazy then but the menu is great as there is so much to choose from so everyone can get what they want!

Bristy, our server, thoroughly explained the details of certain dishes such as the Mac & Cheetos. She also checked in on our table throughout the meal and came around often to refill our water. As for the food itself, it was very delicious. My favorite dish was the artichokes. They had a somewhat smoky flavor and the outermost leaves were crunchy and a nice contrast to the soft inside of the artichokes. They were also served in a tangy sauce that complimented the vegetable well. My friend's favorite item was the macaroni and cheese. It was chewy and creamy, and the pasta, which Bristy informed us was made in-house, was what my friend thought elevated the dish because it was a nice texture. We additionally ordered the gumbo which was also tasty but not as yummy as the other two dishes that we ordered. It is not a spicy dish if one is concerned about spice level.

There is inside seating what looks like a converted house? There is outside seating at tables or at the bar.

Sure maybe could have ordered and asked without shrimp but pay the same price? Pass. Ok when I called they mentioned they serve brunch until 3? 3:30 I can't remember. The server mentioned they serve the brunch all day? Either way when I got to ordering this month on the menu it highlighted the shrimp po boy. I tried to order and nope, out. How can you be out of the item highlighted as the special in the middle of the day? When the place is not packed? I tried to order the lobster roll and again, out. I was tempted to order their short rib poutine since in theory it sounded good, but at this point I tried something simple I would hope they have in the kitchen chicken and waffles. The plate came and it looks good. If you look at the picture at the bottom of the chicken you can see a dark something. As I lift my chicken I found a huge burnt piece of breading pictured next. On top of the chicken is green onion I think? Who eats that with chicken and waffles? If I am wrong, a garnish is totally unnecessary for this dish. The chicken was moist. There are spices in the flour breading I can see but hard to taste what it is. The waffle is a hard pass for me. The waffle was crispy which is good, but also thin and dry and I couldn't taste any sweetness until I put maple syrup on it. The syrup came out warm which was nice. It's clear watching the people at the bar this is a local hangout. The chicken and waffles were $19 which if I was in the bay I think it's about right, but I think a little high considering the level of food I got. Supposedly this place is packed specifically on Sundays. The server doesn't know why? I'm not interested to even try to come back for a second chance and just be told sold out of the menu.
