After a very disappointing experience at the Bell Gardens location on Mother's Day, we ended up…read moredriving to the Boyle Heights Pioneer Chicken location just to get biscuits, and honestly, this location completely restored my love for Pioneer Chicken. The difference between the two locations was night and day. Even though it was Mother's Day and busy everywhere, Boyle Heights was organized, fast, friendly, and fully stocked. There was plenty of parking, the line moved quickly, and the employees were courteous and professional from the moment we arrived. Most importantly! THEY HAD EVERYTHING. Fresh biscuits? Yes. Fully stocked menu? Yes. Good customer service? Absolutely. The biscuits were fresh, hot, buttery, and delicious, exactly how I remembered Pioneer Chicken growing up in Los Angeles. We honestly ate them on the drive home because they were THAT good. You could immediately feel the better energy and management at this location. People were constantly coming in and out, yet the staff still handled things efficiently and professionally. As someone born and raised in LA, Pioneer Chicken is nostalgic for me, and this Boyle Heights location felt much closer to the Pioneer I remember. I will definitely return to this location again. Thank you to the Boyle Heights staff for saving Mother's Day dinner. Sorry I didn't take a picture of the biscuits, the aroma took over, the box was opened and my mouth ate before my camera! ha ha ha

Initially they mentioned they didn't have uni available, but the attentive manager came to us and shared that he wasn't completely satisfied with the quality of the uni that day, though he was still willing to serve it to me. I really appreciated the honesty and passion for quality. I came here eyeing on the uni pasta, so I had to go for it. Maybe he was right, it was just OK. It wasn't necessarily the uni itself, but the pasta and cream sauce felt slightly overcooked and a bit dry. It could've used more sauce to bring everything together. Still, no ragrets (iykyk). It's something you should try here . We also ordered the hand roll trio and toro, which was yummy. The fish was fresh, beautifully cut, and served in generous pieces. They're partnering with Death & Co, known for their craft cocktails which explains why the drinks here are so uniquely curated and well mixed. Definitely worth exploring their cocktail menu.

Unfortunately, it's always served a bit lukewarm. That said, the chicken is consistently good, which keeps me coming back. The dining area was freezing during our visit, but the staff member was kind enough to turn off the AC for us, which I appreciated. I just wish they would serve their drinks properly chilled--it would make the experience so much better.

One word = FANTASTIC! I came here to try the chicken and shrimp and was extremely impressed. I…read moreordered the shrimp meal with mac and cheese and one side of chicken tender! The favor is definitely there and seasoned soo good on both. The service was nice. They have inside and outside seating but inside is better. Outside on spring st there is ALOT of activity going on with people watching and the food robots, service trucks running around. Oh yes and they have a bathroom which is key! It's in downtown LA so parking i can't see where anyone could park here. They have a $2 chicken tenders on thursdays also. They had a lot of take-out orders so people must agree it's good quality food. Overall, yes i would be back and try the sando next time but this place is jamming good!! Go visit these guys and enjoy.

This is a chain place that sells wings near a freeway entrance, and Inext to a 711 and a laundromat. I give it 5 stars because of what this place is and the style of food and service that I expected to get :) There is inside seating but it seems like more of a place where people ordered and left. I was the same with a to go order of a 10 piece combo with garlic parm and lemon pepper bone in wings. The cleanliness was fine enough and the staff was fine and nice enough :) The person that took my order smiled as I gave my order and smiled as I picked up my order. The place had a constant flow of people coming in and the staff looked all pretty busy. I like the open windows to the kitchen area too verify the cleanliness and cooking of the food :) Wings were as expect, good :) Will I return... maybe... if I'm in the area again....

The Supervisor went by Jazmine or Jasmine said she didn't care if I made a complaint about her cause it wouldn't effect her in any way like customer complaints are irrelevant or where irrelevant! It's in a terrible unsafe area so I ordered delivery to get crappy food and crappy service I waited nearly 4 hours for a "supervisor" to call back and no call back and they can't fix my order that I literally have to bring back that food to get it fixed cause ppl always call in for free food. I don't care about other ppl but I'll gladly dig into my garbage can to get that food out! What a joke. I've been inside that restaurant it's filthy and dirty and looks like they never clean.
