2 Tenders w/ Side of Fries & Texas Toast
Anton F.

Had to see what's all the hype about this Red Chicks. Ordered from the Downtown LA location 2 piece Tenders (Bonfire Hot) with fries, pickles and comeback sauce. The oversized tenders are crispy outside, juicy inside. The fries are really good, same seasoning as the chicken with the pickles for crunch. Pretty good and filling meal.

A big very seasoned shrimp!

One word = FANTASTIC! I came here to try the chicken and shrimp and was extremely impressed. I ordered 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. Food rating: Fried seasoned shrimp 8.8\10 Chicken tender 8.8\10 Mac and cheese 8.5\10

Angel and staff were a delight called to order 15 mins before closing and they had called me back but I just went down to store to order. Very attentive and nice service! Thanks so much! I love the blaze and their corn here. It was lively in there with lots of guests enjoying their meal there. I'm happy that my wedges were crispy as well (:

Weekdays special
Jessica R.

It was after the Fiesta Sabado that I decided to eat somewhere else because the taco lines were too long at the event. So I went to Red Chickz. Small place was not crowded at the time. I ordered me a mild chicken sandwich with fries. FYI this place has LEVEls of spice if you want it spicier. At first glance the fries looked over seasoned but we're not. They were good. The chicken sandwich it's a preference of mine but I would have liked it to have more coleslaw but overall it was good. The sauce was ok. They do have specials on the weekdays.

It is my first time coming here I was going to order a spicy chicken sandwich maybe next time because I ordered the Mac and cheese bowl we choose Hot flavor it's actually not spicy at all to me personally it does have a small after kick but I think I will try the extra hot next time. I love that it comes with potato wedges as well so yummy and chicken was made fresh to order it is delicious I definitely would come again to try different items.

Cauliflower Bites
Tommy C.

HEY, VEGANS! Check out the photo! I made lazy "fish" tacos with cauliflower bites, bagged salad, and corn tortillas! I'm sure you can make them better, but this is the lazy version, and it works for me! The service is great, and ordering from the app for pick up is very convenient!

Red Chickz in Downtown LA is easily a 5-star spot. The chicken was so good and every bite had the perfect crunch. The flavor, the freshness, and the quality were all on point. Definitely one of the best hot chicken spots around. I'll for sure be coming back again. It's a vibe with good food!!!

Fried cheese
Bruce L.

Great chicken tenders spot with a Thursday $2 deal that can't be beat! First the negatives. The location is a little tough because it's DTLA so parking can be a challenge - metered street parking or paid lots. It gets busy and there isn't a ton of room or seating inside and outside isn't the most pleasant. The orders can take a little long. A lot of them are to go orders. Now the positives. If you work nearby, it's a great lunch spot. The tenders are large. 2 would be enough if you're being good on portions. The crunchy batter is fried to perfection. For heat level, i liked the mild the best. It had the best flavor with a touch of spice. I also tried the medium and while it was hotter, it did have any added flavor in fact i felt it took away from the flavor. I like the potato wedges as well and the fried cheese curds were just ok. Workers were nice. I would definitely come here if I was craving chicken tenders a definitely if it was a Thursday. Btw, I happen to have tried Dave's hot chicken a week prior to this and although Dave's is better, it's also way pricier.

3 Tenders w/ Side
Sabrina A.

Really solid Nashville hot chicken spot! I love potato wedges too so them using that as their side instead of regular fries definitely makes them stand out. Service was fast and friendly, and there is a few spots inside to eat if you'd like but it is a smaller restaurant. The mild level was not spicy so if you want a kick definitely go up a heat level! The loaded mac bowl was probably most popular and was super good!

Chicken tenders
Leonard K.

My friend pointed out that this place had $2 chicken tenders on Thursdays, so we decided to go and try a bunch of them. I also brought four pieces back to my mom because she wanted to try them too and she absolutely loved the medium flavor. She said it was so good and asked for six the next time I go, so I gave her my additional 3 pieces that I was going to eat tomorrow. I think realistically though, this is a good place to go to get 2 pieces and a sauce for $4.50 (the sauces are 50 cents each). I'm not sure how my mom is able to just keep eating these, but the flavor gets a little repetitive after the second piece and it becomes difficult to eat a third. If you feel that way too after trying these, maybe the one without any seasoning could work for you. As far as the chicken tenders go, they are juicy and succulent on the inside, so chances are, they are probably brined. The crispiness is nice too and you get a good crunch with each bite. However, the seasoning choice is a little unusual in my opinion. While it is a flavorful blend, it doesn't have that perfect blend that makes you want to keep eating more and more and more, which you can find at similar places. The service for the food is quick and the ambiance is cool and chill, but you don't find too many people dining in at this location, probably due to the challenges of parking in downtown la. My mom wants me to get more of these, so I guess I'll be going back next week.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Was recommended by a friend. Long line but moved fast. Friendly service. Large servings. Fair prices. Highly recommend and will definitely return. Unfortunately there are a lot of homeless in the area and parking can be tricky. The corn was my favorite.

Bonfire Chicken Tenders + Homestyle Mac & Cheese
Elvis B.

Food was big bussin', ngl. I ordered 3 tenders: 'Bonfire' hot w/ the mac & cheese side. Anthony (servwe) was kind enough to give us complementary cheese tatertots as well The crunch + breading was perfectly crispy & not even remotely dry. The tenders were juicy as hell. definitely 11/10 I would recommend going for medium spice for those that spices out pretty quick.

Maurice C.

Horrible service!! I went to the restaurant i ordered my food the lady was not rude but i looked and tried to use the restroom it said out of order. There was a latino man that came inside and asked to use the restroom the cashier opened the restroom with no problem. I asked hey can i use the restroom she says no. Its because i see him all the time. I guess maybe she should have said its because your black and didnt speak spanish. I will never come to this location again that was discrimination at its finest!!

How is the chicken?

Crispy and juicy! (: No where near being dry. They give pretty big pieces as well so definitely worth a try!

What is in the sauce? I know I can choose the level of spice on the chicken, and it's not the spice that bothers me, but I have an allergy to Chile de arbol (tree chili) and just wanted to know if it's safe for me to eat 😅?

Hi Debbie, I will confirm with our chef tomorrow morning and get back to you.

Is the chicken halal?

It may be better to call them & ask directly.

People who have been to howlin rays, how does it compare. Is it worth trying still?

Yes Red Chickz is worth trying, especially if you don't feel like waiting two hours for Howlin' Ray's lol. Same concept as howling rays. Plus I believe you can order online. I definitely would recommend it.

Do you guys take online order?

Yes we do through our website theredchickz.com

Do they have a phone number for pick orders? Thanks, how can I order extra sides a la carte online?

We have online order available through our website.

What is the parking situation like?

Hi Brian, We are located in Downtown so all the parking will be street parking.

This time, I went with the Anwar Style Chicken Shawarma to try something new. The portion size alone is impressive. The container is packed and feels substantial the moment you pick it up. The base is a bed of fries, and these are not just filler. They are thick, well seasoned, and sturdy enough to handle all the toppings without turning into a soggy mess. On top of the fries is a generous amount of chicken. The chicken tastes freshly cooked, with that warm, savory flavor you expect from good shawarma, never dry and never overly salty. There are pita chips mixed in, which add a great crunch and texture against the fries and chicken. Multiple sauces are drizzled throughout the dish. I chose a side of their spicy sauce. The creamy white sauce balances things out, while the orange sauce brings a mild heat and a little extra depth. None of the sauces overpower the dish, they work together to coat everything evenly and keep every bite flavorful. Diced tomatoes and corn adds a touch of sweetness that surprisingly works really well here. A sprinkle of herbs throughout helps brighten everything up and keeps the dish from feeling too heavy, even though it is definitely filling. This is comfort food done right. It is messy in the best way, packed with flavor, at least to me it was. If you are looking for something hearty, satisfying, and consistently well made, I will always recommend Anwar's Kitchen. Anwar's Kitchen delivers quality food, and I will keep ordering from them.

The duck hummus was pretty tasty and flavorful, but was on the salty side. The pita bread that came with the hummus was fresh and warm!

For appetizers, we got the roasted cauliflower ($24), trout crudo ($32), octopus ($36), sweet potato flatbread ($26), and the oyster mushrooms ($29). My faves were the trout crudo and oyster mushrooms. The oyster mushrooms were grilled nicely and are best eaten hot! The octopus was tender, and cauliflower had a good flavor. The sweet potato flatbread was interesting, with a sweet and savory profile. For entrees, we got the Grilled Dorade ($54) and the Whole Lamb Rack ($92), both of which were stellar. The fish had a unique and strong flavor and was so tender. The lamb was also perfectly tender and had a mild gamey flavor. Overall enjoyable meal, but on the pricey side.

Lots of seating options, wasn't busy for a late lunch, and everything seems very organized too. This place honestly seems great for both small parties and bigger parties of people. Last but not least, the food! We didn't get to try the kbbq this time but I love that there are tons of options on the menu. We got several dishes like kimchi fried rice (my friend's), cold noodle, beef brisket hot soup, garlic fries. Everyone was in agreement that it was all delicious. Definitely coming back for the kbbq next time! PARKING is important to mention too. If you can find free street parking consider yourself lucky! There is a garage with the entrance next to it that says "PARKING" which they had us pay $20 with cash or Venmo. Parking guy said we had 2 hours to return with a receipt from the restaurant so they'd give us $10 cash back (essentially making parking $10 or $20 if you go over the limit). Inside the restaurant it does say $5 parking on the wall which we asked about but this only applies on Mondays to Fridays, and we came on a Saturday. I'll add a photo of this. I did consider removing a star for the whole parking situation but I'll keep it for now. Other than the parking being a pain (as is typical for the area), we loved it here.

This restaurant has been pretty much empty since it opened, but I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and finally try it. Unfortunately, the food was nowhere near authentic Indian food. I ordered the tikka masala and palak paneer. Both dishes were incredibly bland and tasted like they were missing a ton of spices and seasoning. I'd honestly give the food a 3/10. Then I ordered a mango lassi, and somehow they managed to mess that up too. It was terrible. I don't understand how you mess up a mango lassi, but they put whipped cream and some kind of red berry sauce on top, which made absolutely no sense. 0/10. Another thing that really bothered me was the older gentleman hosting. He was coughing uncontrollably throughout my visit and repeatedly wasn't covering his mouth. Given that he was working in a restaurant and interacting with customers, I found that extremely unpleasant and honestly pretty disgusting. My total was $90 for two small plates and a yogurt-based mango drink. If you actually want authentic, flavorful Indian food, go up the street to Badmaash. You can spend around $130 there and get significantly more food, way more flavor, and dishes that are actually delicious and worth the money.
