This place has been open for almost two decades and has been so hidden I didn't know they existed until my first experience which was around ten years when my brother told me how he had the most amazing fish and chips here so we had to try it. We also had their Chinese food and fried chicken that time and I remember it was all so good. This time I wanted to come and try their food again after all those years and they look the same as before. They have fried chicken combos, item combo plates (steam table), and boba drinks/smoothies. We ordered two piece fried chicken with fries, three item combo plate (half fried rice and half chow mein, orange chicken, bbq pork, and teriyaki chicken with sauce on side), and large boba milk tea. We got our food pretty quick, the staff (Sany and Stephanie) were really nice and helped answer and explain our questions (because it's been awhile since I've been here). The seating options are limited, however, the store is small already therefore we can just take it to go and enjoy at home! We took 20 minutes to get home and the food was still hot! The fried chicken is slightly spicy, I can't handle spice but the hint of it made me enjoy the crispy skin! Lots of fries and a toasted roll. The combo plate was full of food, overflowing almost. I definitely enjoyed the bbq pork, sweet and savory and tender. The boba drink tastes just like a regular milk tea, we got it very large! Drank it all! Definitely will come by to try their fish and chips, I noticed they have fried shrimp as well and the steam table had fried chicken wings so might want to try them next time too! read more

Don't let the name fool you, they actually sell Chinese food as well! This small mom and pop restaurant has a wide range of delicious food options but also has combo boxes that they usually are pretty generous with compared to other Chinese fast food joints with an affordable price. I usually am able to get one combination box and share with my boyfriend and still have left overs! *They are located in the same parking lot as Popeyes, Home Depot and Starbucks. read more

As far as I remember, this place is always the fried chicken and Chinese food dual. There's a Popeyes in the same parking lot, so maybe originally they felt the threat from Popeyes and try to expand the menu. What ever it is, I can ensure you two things: 1 the approach works just fine! And 2. Their chicken is head to head with Popeyes. Yes that good. I always come in and get a Chinese combination, 1 or 2 items, and add a couple of pieces of fried chicken to my meal. And boy they master the art of frying. Practice makes experts and you can tell why. Besides fried chicken, many of their Chinese food items are also deep fried, or deep dried during the process. The BBQ pork here is my favorite. You can taste the freshness of pork. I often taste the weird small of pork at other Chinese take out, but not here. Juicy and just right. Chinese salt and letter wings is another my favorite. It's as good as sit down restaurants. Rest of the available dishes are really good as well. I've tried kungpao chicken, orange chicken, broccoli beef, etc. The amount is also huge. See pictures for proof. I usually split to two meals. Amazing mom and pop store that's worth a visit. read more

Overpriced , greasy old food. Chicken was meh and prolly 2 days old. Egg foo young is a disaster -like chewing on old sponge with soy sauce. I wouldn't be surprised if you get raging diarrhea after a meal here. read more

Food is mid but if you're into it it's a decent spot here. Chickens a little overpriced but where isn't it nowadays. The people are genuinely kind so service is always great. read more

The food is beyond bland and poorly made. Allow me to elaborate: Fried rice - flavorless. No charred taste. Not salty. It was a 1/10 on the flavor scale. Chow mein was the same. Orange chicken - breading to chicken ratio was 3 to 1. And the flavor was way off. It barely had any flavor, actually. I bought 2 boxes, both with 3 different items. I ended up throwing it away the next day. read more

Ordered the 2 item combo. Got the orange chicken and fried chicken. For the side I got the fried rice. You know I had to do the fried chicken fried rice combo. They didn't have enough orange chicken so the chef whipped up a fresh batch which I really appreciated. Therefore the food came out super hot. Delicious. The staff is friendly and the parking is super easy. Overall: Will return for some friend chicken fried rice. read more

I like the Cajun rice and fried shrimp. My children and husband like the fried chicken wings.

Hands down the best fried chicken I've had..... EVER...... been coming here for a lil over a decade. Service is great. FRIED CHICKEN!!!!!!!

I came to the place has very good food!! but one of the lady's filled my cup up with all ice I had gotten a small cup so I'm not sure why they would fill the whole cup with all ice then when I wanted a refill I had to spend 10$ just to get a refill At all after the fact I just spend 90$ on a whole meal here the lady's were completely rude I went back and forth with her to understand this establishment but she just was completely rude about it all over a simple refill. With no regards to let customers know about policies in "fine print". read more

They must have changed management, the food was bland and the curry chicken had ZERO curry taste.

An intriguing mom & pop shop next to Popeye's, saying, "Louisiana Fried Chicken, Hongkong Style Chinese Food." I was like, "Is that a Chinese place that used to be a fried chicken place? Or is it a Chinese place that sells fried chicken?? Is that even real?" So I yelped it and it showed that it was the latter. I already know how Popeye is (which I like), but I'm always up for trying a new place, especially a mom & pop shop. So I stopped by and got a 2 piece combo (leg and thigh), with fries, dinner roll, & a drink. The lady told me it would be 15 mins. I said fine. Man, when it came out and I saw how pippin hot and fresh it was, I was so excited. I felt the fries and they felt hot, crispy and salted. I put a fry in my mouth. O m g. It tasted exactly how I felt. Crispy, hot, salted perfectly. The dinner roll was dinner roll. The leg and thigh were crispy, super tasty. It seemed that they cooked them when I ordered it. Put some hot sauce (which not hot) to add more taste. I'd be back for sure... I was eyeballing the Chinese food trays. I wanna try their 1/2/3 item combo next time. read more

Solid mom and pop fried chicken joint made fresh to order. A little pricey per pc but not greasy and their side of Chinese options is solid. read more

Really yummy Chinese food and fried chicken! The owners are so sweet and always provide the best customer service. We recently moved to Pasadena and can no longer come here every week & wish they could open a Pasadena location :P it is truly the best Chinese food or fried chicken you can get in the area. The fried chicken is always super hot and fresh. The chicken curry is delicious, as well as the beef and bell pepper, orange chicken, chicken and potatoes, chicken and peppers, BBQ pork, chicken wings, etc. Always taste great, you really can't go wrong with any option. The fried fish combo is also really good! All of their food is always looks and tastes hot and fresh. I miss coming here & will be coming back whenever we are in the area :) read more

Very odd they are right next to Popeyes but after seeing the reviews, I decided to give it a try! The lady that helped me was very nice. I did love the fact they made me fresh chicken when I ordered. Took a little time but it's always worth waiting for fresh fried chicken! Unfortunately, the chicken was extremely salty. All 3 of my family members couldn't handle how salty the skin was. After removing the skin it wasn't so bad. Maybe just a bad day? In my order was supposed to be bread or dinner rolls too according to the menu but they were missing. It's my fault for not checking my order I guess. When i realized it was missing, I wasn't gonna drive 20 minutes back for dinner rolls. 3 stars for nice service, fresh chicken. read more

Super hole in the wall Chinese joint! You do not expect to find Chinese food at a place named Louisiana Fried Chicken but they serve quick take out. They have the best price in SGV for fried rice party trays. They charge $35.99 for the huge tray. Not overly salty or oily. Did not expect it to be the worlds greatest but it was a very satisfying side dish for the party I had. read more

Area is not the best but it's worth the stop. We used to have a few locations out in the ie but as far as I know some of them shut down with covid and have not been back in business. So this is a treat when I come out into the area. read more

Disappointing fried chicken. Was warm, not hot. I guess I should have noticed/questioned the pieces coming out from a heat lamp that apparently wasn't so hot. The coleslaw was a tad bit less than ok and the bread tasted day old. The diet coal was probably the best tasting thing at this lunch. Found a hair on my table to wrap this experience up. Went with 2 stars since the lunch didn't make me sick. Prob won't be back for chicken. KFC is much better. read more

Love the fried chicken here. Needed to wait for 15 min but came out piping hot and super crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside. Also tried Chinese food as well. Portion was big but it was too oily for me. read more

Their fried chicken is to die for. Yes I've had Popeyes, Churches, Roscoes, etc...and somehow I come back to craving a box of this random side gig within this Chinese takeout spot. They'll have it freshly fried for you, a simple 20 minute wait for hot pieces of Louisiana style seasoned chicken. Worth the price honestly. read more

The chicken was . I have had such bad luck finding a good fried chicken place until now! I will be back for the chicken AND Chinese food. The fried rice and chowmein were also delicious.

THE BEST LITTLE HIDDEN GEM. I really enjoy this place it hits the spot . Easy to order it's like and in and out type of deal!. Your not waiting long order ,pay and your out! . My favorite is the orange chicken brown noodles and the red pork mmmmmmm so yummy!! I love the Thai tea Boba!! So refreshing !! Full of flavor Each bit has flavor orange chicken is so glazed no piece is plan ! Brown noodles are the just right amount and the red pork has so much yumness. (Mouth is watering lol) I would recommend staff is friendly and don't make you feel awkward ordering here for the first time! Makes you feel welcomed ! Try to leave a tip a dollar means a lot ! read more

We continue to enjoy this tiny place. I have tried other food here, and the fish and chips are also very food, blazing hot and full of flavor. But the fish does not travel well. Just order as much as you can eat on site. The fries are fresh and hot, and they are not stingy with the catsup. No with things closed down again, it is only to go again, but we had always ordered to go anyhow. There is a great selection of Chinese food as well, we have tried a few of the entrees. I like the fried rice well enough that we always take some home with our chicken. The help is friendly and the food is good. Portions are large, value is very good. read more

I love this place .. Such a small place with friendly people serving up great food. I come here more for the Chinese fast food then the chicken, but I've had it and can't complain about it (if you get the chicken freshly cooked and not the ones sitting there already under the heat lamp). However, onto the Chinese fast food. If it were this, or panda express, I'd choose this place. And I'll even drive to it even if it's 20 minutes away. This place fixes my Chinese fast food crave all the time. Everything is so flavorful. I've tried it all, but i usually get the glass noodle, green beans, and chicken with mushroom. 2 items for 5.Xx, can't go wrong. Keep coming back and they hook you up :) read more

Summary: - Service - friendly - Price - a little cheaper than average - Food - just okay - NOTE: For optimum taste, call in to order a large batch about 15 minutes before so that it comes right out of the fryer by the time you arrive. ******* Little places like these always bring about a happy confusion in my mind. It's like walking up to it, you know you want perfectly-made-Louisiana-Fried-Chicken and then you notice under the sign: *Hong Kong Style Chinese Food* Great, just great. Looks like I'm getting LFC made in China. ^_^ Obviously, I don't really care since most of the world products - that we like, want, or need - have become labeled with the famous "Made in China" print. I could just hop over to Popeyes [in the same compound and previously Wendy's] for some LFC but it dawned on me that they don't have one unique combination that I could have over here, which is exactly what I did: 1. Chinese food, 1 item combo - fried rice & noodles, Mongolian beef. 2. LFC - 1 leg and 1 wing side order. Total: ~$6.40 This was a happy confusion that I'd totally repeat. read more

I really enjoy this small restaurant. I came here about three years ago with no idea what they were all about. But when I came here, I was very surprised by their food and their clean area. Usually Chinese fast food places have really greasy food displayed in front of you, but Louisiana Fried Chicken doesn't use as much oil as your typical franchise. I usually order the Chinese Chow/Lo Mein because it's plain and delicious. The party trays ordered here are very cheap compared to other places. These fried chickens aren't very popular on the west coast as compared to the east coast. But the fried chicken is very good here. They're a specialty on the east coast and they're craved for over there. The chicken is good here and they'll taste good with any Chinese dish that is served here at Louisiana Fried Chicken. I recommend! Good for lunch :) read more

Had to wait 10-15 min for my chicken when I came in around 8. Which was a little surprising as it was dinner. It was definitely worth the wait in my opinion. The chicken was just right! Got the 8 piece and each piece was better than the next. Restaurant itself isn't in the best condition but if you can look past it I'm sure you'll enjoy the food. read more

The Chinese food was...surprisingly good! I totally thought it was gonna be Americanized, but the chicken curry and sautéed chicken/veggies tasted authentic. The food wasn't salty and they gave me huge portions of each - I actually had to ask them to give me less! Super friendly staff too! read more

Could not decide between Popeye or this place, but since I was craving boba, went here instead. I am glad I did. Place was busy with lunchtime rush in a Saturday afternoon. No line, but constant flow of people. It is a Chinese style fast food joint, but had fried chicken options as well. The shrimp and chip caught my eye so I ordered that along with a side of stir-fried vermicelli noodle and a large boba milk tea. I was told the wait was 4 mintues, but no problem, I like my food fresh from the fryer :). Portion was enormous for the price, which I am quiet surprised and pleased with. Everything was delicious. Shrimp was big, plump and juicy, and seasoning just right. Glad these were not those brined shrimp which is often used as many other place, which can be mushy and overly salted. Fries were crisp and fluffy center. Vermicelli was not oily, and I actually like it dry, so not going to complain about that. Boba milk tea was the best. The boba was soft and chewy and the milk tea was not watered down. Device was fast, but they were nice and friendly. They seem to know there regular well, which give this place a upbeat ambiance. Small place and cramped dining area, but not a major issue. Shrimp and chip- $6 Vermicelli noodle- $1.35 Boba milk tea- $2.25 Enough for 2 peoplr read more

Likes: Thai iced tea was probably the highlight of my meal here. This place is a combo of Chinese fast food and fried chicken, almost like Panda Express + KFC. One of the chicken I ordered with the 3 combo meal was good. The rest was soso. Dislikes: noodles were dry and didn't taste very good, orange chicken wasn't as good as I expected read more

I didn't have the fried chicken, just the Chinese fast food. Not sure why all the hate, because the food is pretty decent here. I had the my usual Chinese fast food choices, chow mein, beef w/broc, and their teriyaki chicken. It was good. I think it taste better than Panda Ex. I'll try the fried chicken time, too full from the other stuff. Come in and give it a try! read more

Came in for dinner. We wanted fried chicken and I think Louisiana does it better. One of my favorite chains for fried chicken. Ordered the one piece thigh combo with chicken strips and two fried fish. Workers are nice. The place is small but I came at night so there was plenty of seats. Plenty of parking spaces. Overall not too much of a hassle if you know what you want and come just for the chicken. It's crispy! read more

Louisiana Fried Chicken - One piece combo with fries and a roll. - Chicken Shop Near Me - El Monte, California

This place is so messed up. You come for the fried chicken on the sign, leave wanting boba which they are out of with dollar Chinese and upset that the pancit (filipino food) had egg in it!!! talk about a world gone mad... I had always wondered why a fried chicken joint had a boba neon sign and a sign that said hong kong style Chinese food... who know that they had like 2-3 old pieces of chicken and pushed the Chinese take out hard? I swear its just a ploy to bring in customers when its right next door to a popeyes and a subway. Pro Tip: They actually run out of boba here =\ uber disappointing! So I walked in thinking fried chicken like most other folks I am sure, until i took a look at those disgusting samples on the heat tray behind the counter... whereas in the counter trays was decent looking Chinese food. I ended up getting the orange chicken (munchkin's request) and bbq pork to go with chow mein. I also sampled the pepper chicken which they claimed was hot since it had chili pepper slices in it... I tasted it and tasted no heat... #shrugs So the bbq pork... it tasted like bbq pork always does... acceptable slightly too much fat but overall a decent steam tray item. They do do it differently here and grab a couple of pieces out and take it to the back to chop into slices before bringing it back in nibble sized pieces. The orange chicken was thankfully not overwhelming but it rekindled my brain as to why I am not a big fan of the orange chicken entree... Pro Tip #2: Its located in the Home Depot parking lot The chow mein was there and not there... yeah weird huh... well they had a whole bunch of the major spines from cabbage leaves in it... however they didnt have much of the leafy part of the cabbage! WTF, you dont put in the best parts but just force us to eat the bitter portion? overall I still have no understanding of what this place is really supposed to be... Chinese chicken? Fried Chinese food or??? but yeah im pretty much whatever about it and doubt ill be back... read more
