During our recent trip to LA, we intentionally scheduled a visit to this place. We discovered it via social media, and the menu items look appetizing and, most importantly, crispy! 2 Tenders with Side | We came in around 2pm on a Monday afternoon and there just happened to be a lunch promo on this for $9.99. The tenders had a soft interior with a very crispy, smoky and vibrant outer surface. One of the tastiest Nashville hot chicken we've had. The spiced potato wedges were wonderfully seasoned, and they were crispy as well. Menu: The menu looks simple with the tenders being the main items. They can be made into a sandwich, taco or on a salad. They also serve wings, loaded fries, and French toast. Service: Although the tenders took some time, the orders were delayed by about 20-25 minutes because of insufficient staff for on a holiday. Given this hot and humid day, with the air conditioning broken and the outside fan not operational, the overall experience proved was just average. The employee was exceptionally kind and offered us additional ranch containers for free, lol. Will definitely comeback to this place when the air conditioning works or will try the other location. Parking: Downtown LA is not free. There are parking lots almost in every block ranging from $12 to $15 (as of September 2026).

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.

so so so so SO good. I got medium and the spice level was perfect for me. The lady at the register was saying how the difference between medium and the next level was big, so I played it safe with medium. She was also so sweet in helping us figure out what to order. We decided to order the chicken tenders, potato wedges, and the cheese curds. Absolutely no complaints. The chicken was SUOER crispy and super juicy. It's also huge, so next time I will be ordering two instead of three. I've also never had actual crispy potato wedges until trying this one as well. Even after finishing all my chicken, everything stayed crispy. The cheese curdles were also good. They're like mini mozzarella balls, nothing too crazy but still super delish. I will be making a return soon because this is so far, my top chicken place!!!

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

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Our server and all the fabulous folks that helped us for dinner service was wonderful. Appreciate our server Elizabeth for triple checking that the dishes doesn't contain seafood. We did find out for the majority of the dishes contains somesort of seafood seasoning except for the chicken salad. The drinks were fabulous as well, my friend had the non alcoholic Montaigne. It was very tropical and had a great presentation. I had the J'Adior and it was absolutely wonderful. Very light and crisp. Second round I had the very alcoholic DiorAmour and she had the L'Evasion Dior which was also non alcoholic. We also got the off menu green goddess salad with coconut yogurt dressing that was fabulous and tasted so good. I believe it was from the summer menu. That did not have any seafood in it. The bread and butter is always a fun experience. We had it during our afternoon tea, and butter is fancy and well presented. Mains: my friend's only option was the Water Lily Salad because everything had some sort of seafood component in it, which you won't taste whatsoever, but she doesn't like it and tell people she's allergic so she missed out on some good stuff including the steak medallion that she really wanted. I am simple, I love fish and seafood so I had the trout. The sauce, the presentation, honestly so Michelin! Dessert: We got the chocolate cannage and it was really wonderfully presented in the pattern of a dior bag with a chocolate golden bee. Just to note they add 4% health benefits fee.
