10/10 definitely my top Korean fried chicken spot!!! The fried chicken are so juicy and tendering!!! The Sando is crazy! So big!!! The legend sampler is really worthy and literally last me and my boyfriend for 2 meals total! Easy to order and the servers are very helpful to help us figure out what would be a good combo to order. K pop music non stop but it's not too loud! Totally good spot to chill and hang out with friends with some amazing fried chicken!!!

I had a really nice experience here! The food was good and the portions were huge (definitely shareable). I tried quite a bit, including the Legend Sampler, chicken and waffles, cheese curds, and jalapeño poppers. I liked that there were so many different flavors and heat levels to choose from. The staff was also really attentive throughout my visit. They checked in on me, made sure I had everything I needed, and were really friendly. The atmosphere was probably one of my favorite parts. They played K-pop throughout the visit, which I loved as a K-pop fan, and it gave the restaurant a really fun and upbeat feel. Between the music, Korean street food options, and all the different chicken choices, there's a lot to try here. Overall, good food, great service, and a fun place to hang out and eat. I'd definitely come back!

IG: your.socal.foodie I had a great experience at Legend Hot Chicken in Chino Hills! What makes this place stand out is that they serve both Nashville hot chicken and Korean fried chicken, so you don't have to choose between the two. The portions were generous, and the chicken was incredibly juicy. My favorite was the spicy chicken sandwich. It had the perfect amount of heat and was packed with flavor. I also really enjoyed the garlic soy chicken tenders. The sauce was savory, well-balanced, and coated the chicken perfectly. In addition to the chicken, we tried the kimchi fried rice, which was flavorful and paired well with the meal. The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and has a cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot to dine with friends or family. If you're looking for a place that offers both Nashville-style hot chicken and Korean fried chicken with generous portions and flavorful food, Legend Hot Chicken is definitely worth checking out!

Satisfy my craving for fried chicken

I finally stopped by Legend Hot Chicken in Chino Hills, and honestly, it was worth the drive. This spot has a fun fusion style that mixes American hot chicken with Korean-style fried chicken, and the portions are seriously generous. We ordered Combo 1, Combo 3, and Combo 5 so we could try a few different items. Each combo comes with a drink, and you also have the option to upgrade to beer. When the food came out, we were surprised by how big everything was. The fried chicken was super crispy, very Korean-style, and tasted even better when dipped into the sauce. The flavors were bold, savory, and really satisfying. The boneless chicken waffle was interesting too, the cheese sauce was creamy, slightly sweet, and rich. It was tasty, but definitely a little heavy if you eat too much. My favorite was probably the chicken sandwich. The bun was soft, lightly toasted, and fragrant, while the chicken had a sweet and tangy sauce that made every bite really addictive. Service was friendly and welcoming. The staff made the visit easy and comfortable, especially for first-timers trying to figure out what to order. The ambiance is casual, clean, and great for a quick bite with friends. It has that laid-back hot chicken spot vibe, but still feels modern and inviting.

everything here is truly made fresh to order--it took a bit, but it was all hot out of the fryer! the portions were huge, so definitely bring your friends. i absolutely loved the loaded fries, but note that medium spicy is where the spice starts to kick up. the best part was probably that the flavored soju was only 5.88, which is insane! there were plenty of tables and booths that were open, but we did go at 1:30pm on a thursday. they also had tvs playing sports game and music videos! nom-list: - super loaded tenders - famous legend bowl - waffle sando combo (with cajun fries) - mozzarella sticks - fried oysters - thai tea macaron ice cream - raspberry macaron ice cream sip-list: - mango lemonade - strawberry lemonade

I found my new favorite spot for hot chicken at @legendhotchicken.chinohills We ordered a little bit of everything from chicken sandwiches, wings, loaded fries, chicken & waffles, etc. and honestly, everything hit. I have to say, the portions here were HUGE! 0 The chicken was super crispy and full of flavor. The Nashville-style sandwich was massive, and the spice level is no joke (I got mild and it definitely has a kick). For the wings, we tried garlic soy and lemon & pepper; both were so good. The chicken & waffles was such a good combo too. Overall, this place is a really solid spot for hot crispy chicken-l'II definitely be back and recommend it if you are in the area!.

Legend Boneless
Matt S.

Today is the first day of August! My friend and I went here right at opening for an early breakfast/lunch. We were kindly greeted by the server who let us sit wherever as we were the first customers. The restaurant has that modern Korean Bar inspired design and has something similar to a nice fusion between Korean and Western sports bar aesthetic. We ordered the Legend Boneless Combo which consisted of 4 different flavors we can choose from alongside a small salad, 2 fountain drinks and waffle fries (there is an upcharge of $1.50 if you want these instead of regular fries). We did wait about 30 minutes for our order to come out (this is perfectly normal and fine as Korean Fried Chicken tends to take more time to cook). When it came out, we were surprised by the generous portion size. It was definitely a lot bigger than I expected which is amazing. The flavors we got were: Original Crispy (10/10) : cooked to perfection and juicy Burrinkle Powder (12/10): My personal favorite with that nice sweet cheezy flavor complimented by onion and garlic undertones. Definitely a must try! Honey Bee (9/10): Delicious sweet honey with a sneaky kick to it. Very good! Fire Soy (8/10): Rich in Soy Garic flavor with a strong spicy kick that comes after the initial flavor and lingers. Be warned as this is pretty spicy! Overall my friend and I are both very happy for dropping by here and we both cannot wait to come back with more friends!!

Best Chicken Finger and sauce
Thomas T.

I say DAYUM!! Love this chicken. My buddy brought me over a chicken finger for lunch with the sauce. WOW! Super delicious and on point. Got the mid level spice one. Wasn't too spicy for me to be honest. But the batter, sauce, and texture and taste is all there. I don't need too much fried foods so if I do it better be good. This was fire!

Largest piece of chicken I have seen!
Ericka R.

Diego was a great cashier! He recommended some of the most popular dishes. He recommended fried rice, wings and drumsticks. I chose chicken wings but will try the fried rice next time! Service was with a smile, answered several questions and efficient. Waiting for food took about 15-20 minutes. While I waited, I had a Sake! Cold, served in a cold shot glass I got to keep! (Score!) Ambiance of restaurant was relaxing. Music was loud enough for a beat but soft enough for a conversation. Plenty of spaces to move around or relax with family, friends or coworkers. Price was reasonable for the amount of food I received! I still say the chicken was almost half my face! It was crispy, a good amount of spice, and not greasy. I imagine someone's grandma in the back frying it. Overall, would return to try other menu items. I paid with cash. Cash payments comes with a discount! Good job Diego, I will return!

Legend Nacho, fries, garlic soy Legend Tender (5pc)
Dani B.

the food was soooo good. really shocked by how much i liked because korean fried chicken can be a hit or miss sometimes. originally ordered to go but changed our minds to eat inside and the cashier quickly got us plates and water cups. he was super kind during every interaction with him! the store is a good size and has lots of tables for seating. it's the perfect place to eat with friends. great for drinking too because their alcohol prices looked rly good. lots of fun decorations all around and kpop playing which was fun to listen to the food was so yummy. the lemon pepper tenders on top of the nachos were so crispy. the lemon flavor was strong but in such a great way and it complimented the nachos really well. the fries were perfectly crispy. the garlic soy tenders were so delicious, i wish those were able to be more crispy but that's always hard with saucy wings. the mango lemonade is also so yummy and perfectly sweet. would definitely come back to eat here again!

I just ordered online got combo 4 pieces and mac and cheese. Only the mac and cheese came with pickles but the combo didn't. It is supposed to come with pickles, and there was non. Not satisfied because I paid +50$ and I like their pickles. If you're not gonna put it, why do you make it a requirement to choose pickles on your website!!

I tried Dave's Hot Chicken for the first time today and had a good time. While "standard" fried…read morechicken common at other eateries is what I am familiar with (and enjoy), I find the Nashville-style fried chicken tasty and juicy on the inside. I didn't want to go too high in the heat level, but it is good nonetheless. One downside of Nashville-style chicken is its intense flavor (and quite salty), and I felt thirsty for the next three hours despite the kind staff gave me a water cup, and I had gulped down four cups of water. Some probably like it that way, but I would only have it once a month at most. The facility is very clean, and I was impressed by how neat everything is. The only surprise during the visit is the restroom. While it is also very clean (floor is clearly cleaned daily), some patron seem to have broke the urinal's flush handle, and a cascade of water was flushing out and into the nearby floor drain. Fortunately the washing basin and hand dryer area was unaffected (the staff immediately went to check it out after being informed of the mini-flood).

While we were there, we learned that they will be closing down soon. Their last day is 6/28/2026. If you love chicken, come give them a try before they close down. The great thing about this place is they have over 30 different flavors to choose from. We ordered the: - Saigon 22 Herbs & Spices Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Tandoori Flavor Wings and Chicken Tenders Combo - Cajun and Jamaican Jerk Flavored Wings All the Combos came with one side and a drink. Didn't have to wait long before the friendly owner brought out our foods. Service was quick and the restaurant is nice and clean. Wow, the wings and tenders are bigger than most chicken places we've been to. All the four flavors we tried were very tasty. The portions were so big, we ended up taking the rest of them home. Overall, we enjoyed eating here. It is just unfortunate that they will be closing at the end of the month.

A pho find worth stopping for! Stumbled upon this little pho spot thanks to my fellow Yelpers, and…read moreI'm so glad we gave it a try! Hubs is always in the mood for pho--even when it's 100° outside. Today was no exception! The restaurant is clean, quaint, and has a cozy neighborhood feel. I also have to give them props for the music selection--it definitely added to the experience. We started with the shrimp spring rolls, and these were SO good! Fresh, packed nicely, and surprisingly filling. I decided to step outside my usual order and went with the chicken pho, and I'm so glad I did. The broth was the star for me, clean, flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. Best of all, I didn't get that strong star anise aftertaste that I sometimes notice at other pho restaurants. It was just really well balanced and delicious. Hubs went with the brisket pho and really enjoyed his as well, so it looks like we both picked winners! Such a great little find! Sometimes the best meals are the ones you stumble upon thanks to fellow Yelpers. This one definitely goes on our list to revisit!

Crunchy, juicy, piping hot, delicious. Combination pho: great! Broth by itself is tasty. Good ratio of meat to noodles to soup. Pork vermicelli: great! We asked to skip the lettuce and server asked us what extra we'd like in the vermicelli. Family friendly spot as they have a nice little changing station in the restroom as well.

It's a good value for what you get, but I think the chicken is a little lacking…read more For a mini meal ($18.99 I think), you get one chicken, rice (yum!), beans, potato salad (yum!), salsa, and tortillas. It's supposed to feed 2-3 people, but it fed my family of 4 with plenty of leftovers. I think chicken quality is subpar - it's a little mushy and the skin isn't as crispy as I'd like/hope. With that said, you can feed a family of four for under $20 with leftovers, so you're paying for quantity over quality. The highlights were definitely the rice, potato salad, and salad. The potato salad was insanely good. It's a juxtaposition here - subpar chicken with tasty sides. For what it's worth, it's good here. No problems with customer service. In fact, the girl threw in extra tortillas for good measure. Pro tips: order a larger potato salad and a larger hot salsa - will definitely go a long way.
