Had lunch and the food was served quickly. Tasted very fresh. Exactly what I expected. Very glad there are healthy options out there.

For almost six months, everytime I drove by, I'd see this line around the building. No matter time…read moreof day. From the moment they open at 11am until 7pm there is almost always a line. And as long as you're in line by 7pm, they will take your order. The place has fried chicken, fries and fried pickles if you know to ask. And like a more well-known joint, they have a secret menu. The chicken is fantastic. Heat levels go from Country (almost zero spice) to their 6th level of hell they call 'Howlin' level. If you're psychotic enough you can have the 7th level of hell 'Howlin+' and '++". I' will warn you that 'Howlin' level is damn hot. You need to be 18 or older to order and you sign an aknowledgement saying you know. It has a bite. If you like spicy and love to keep your tastebuds, I recommend Medium or Medium +. I also prefer their tenders over the chicken with bone. But to each their own. During the summer heat, they provide sun blocking umbrellas for those waiting in line. Peak hours, you will need to wait for seating and someone there will assist you. They also offer free still water and soda water. Place is clean and inviting. The staff is damn awesome. All are friendly and they tend to remember your usual order if you go often enough. I usually go once or twice a week. Prices are typical. Better than that 'other' spicy chicken joint. And they are only open from Wednesday to Sunday, 11am - 7pm. During the three weekdays, the first hour and the hours between 4 to 5 usually have fewer people in line. All and all great spicy chicken, price is decent, and worth the 30-minute wait.

The sandwich was loaded with a ton of pastrami! So we took the extra pastrami that was falling out of the sandwich and put it on top of the chili cheese fries. I loved the pastrami way more than the hat. It is a bit pricey but I think these are typical prices now. We paid about $36 and got a large drink, a large chili cheese fries, a pastrami sandwich, and a cheese burger. Super yummy and I'll definitely be coming back.

I absolutely love breakfast burritos and I came across this video on Facebook highlighting what was…read moreclaimed to be "Pasadena's Best Breakfast Burrito" for $11.00... I finally talked my sister to go with me and when we got there, the restaurant is small (so is their parking lot) with almost the same number of tables outside as there was inside... they were very busy around noon which seemed to be a positive and they do make breakfast burritos all day, which again, seemed to be a positive... We both ordered bacon and sausage burritos with extra crispy hash browns and two (2) medium Sprites... my sister wanted her burrito cut in half but I didn't and that's what we told them because they do ask when you're ordering... Here's where the problems started and why I gave them a low rating!!! Both burritos were cut in half and neither burrito had crispy hash browns!!! The hash browns were actually mushy!!! My sister was given a bacon and ham burrito and although they add a lot of bacon to their burritos and they chop it so it's mixed throughout the burritos, the sausages were left as whole links and placed together so when the burrito is rolled, all of the sausage is on one side and not mixed through!!! Each bite should be a mix of ingredients and not just bad sausage links!!! The scrambled eggs were over cooked and their salsa is extremely bland and if it's not going to have any spice, then just make it as a pico for more flavor and textural contrast!!! Lastly, the video on Facebook must've been very old because the two (2) burritos and two (2) drinks were more than $35.00!!! Just a complete waste of time, money and the gas it took to drive there!!! If this is "Pasadena's Best Breakfast Burrito" then that's just sad!!! These were clearly not great burritos!!! Looks like "Lucky Boy" has let their standards slip which is also sad because they were busy so customers should demand better quality food and by the way, Pasadena can keep them... we won't be going back!!!

We ordered the Family Meal which included one rotisserie chicken, pita bread, pickled turnips, and choice of two sides (we had cucumber salad and rice.). Also we ordered one combo kabob plate which includes one chicken kabob and one Lule Kabob (ground beef). This combo also comes with two small sides (we had hummus and cucumber salad). Everything was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and seasoned well. The only thing I did not cared for was the picked turnip. I wish we could substitute the turnip for something else. The two sauces we had: Garlic sauce and Tahini sauce were excellent. They go well with all the meat items adding more flavor to it .

Here's a cleaner, more polished version you can use:…read more I've had mixed experiences at this Zankou Chicken location in Pasadena, but today was especially frustrating. It was 12:09 and the restaurant was empty when I ordered a chicken sandwich with no tomato and no onion. My order was made incorrectly, and to make matters worse, two customers who came in after me and ordered full and half chickens received their food well before I did. I also paid for an extra side of pickles, which was completely left out of my order. Meanwhile, several employees were just standing around talking. Overall, really disappointing service today.

We had to circle the area a few times to find street parking. It would be nice if they had a designated parking lot in addition to street parking because some of the businesses around there had that. There was seating inside despite the store being pretty small, so my bf and I just ate inside. The cakes were pretty good! I got the Matcha Yuzu and he got the Kinako Chestnut. I couldn't really taste the yuzu until I tried only the first layer of cream. The matcha overpowers the yuzu a lot because there was two layers of matcha cream and one layer of matcha cake. Still really good and can taste that the matcha is high quality! As for the kinako chestnut, we couldn't taste the chestnut much but there were some chestnut pieces hidden in the cake! I would love to try the peach one as well but this place is quite far. Hopefully I'm in the area when they have the peach seasonal again.

I wish there was a bit more seasoning or maybe something more than just egg in the egg salad-- it just felt like a lot of cream and egg. Also, the size of the sandwich felt a little small for $11. The space itself is alright, and staff were friendly! Parking was a bit hard to find, and I had to circle the block to get a spot a few minute walk away on the street. I'd consider coming back to try a warm sandwich or a latte, but I probably wouldn't get the egg salad sandwich again!
