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

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

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

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.

Happies is located in Arts District and I came here on a Sunday dinner and didn't have any problems with parking. But, I can see how it might be hard to find if you come during peak hours. The restaurant was pretty empty. First thing I noticed was that there were tons of employees but no one really said anything. Since there was no one ordering, they were all standing around. You can just order at the kiosk but I wanted to ask a few questions but was kind of left to fend for myself. I ended up ordering the chicken tenders and chicken tenders with salad. I thought the restaurant ambience was nice. And after waiting for about 10 minutes, my order came out. They gave me extra sauce but again no explanation on why the extra sauce was provided. As for the food, I thought the chicken was kind of bland. I expected some Sichuan style but hardly any spice on the chicken. Once of the sauces was a Sichuan chili crisp, which gave the chicken more taste. Maybe the chicken was bland because I was supposed to dip it in the sauces? Aside from that, the other sauces were average (ranch and sweet/sour sauce). The salad was definitely a huge miss. They didn't dress the salad properly and only put dressing on top, so I just got a bunch of romaine lettuce at the end. The best part of my meal was the fries, which was crispy and fresh. Also, the fries were pretty generous. I think that the food was just average. Probably will not come back here but glad I came to check out what the hype was about.

I enjoyed the flavor here. The salad, and the fries were my favorite. The chicken had a really good…read morecrunch and flavor as well. I was hoping to return to them, but it looks like they are temporary closed.

I got the crispy chicken which is a juicy battered crispy chicken breast. It goes well with their sticky sweet sauce. While the dish was simple and a tad plain, I did really enjoy it over their egg noodles. The servers were so friendly. I enjoyed the bright colors of the interior. They share parking with the Dixie Hollywood Hotel.

Even though the white meat is quite tender for what it is, it's disappointing that I did not get what I ordered both times. I also got different dipping sauce each time. Garlic rice: not bad, but not that best I've had. First time was on the dry side, second time was better, but still not great. Zaab chicken: very dry and very very salty. Almost like chewing on an old piece of jerky that's been left out too long. Straight to the trash. Garlic Noodle: similar to the Chinese Chow Mien in any Chinese fast food place but not much flavor. Crispy Fish: This is the best dish I had from Heng Heng. It is crispy on the outside and very tender on the inside. The Garlic Rice that came with it was on the dry side. Base on my experience, I would not be back. There are many other restaurants in that neighborhood that offer better and consistent food, and deliver what I ordered.
