About this business

TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

It is very rare, especially in Los Angeles to receive amazing customer service. A friend and I stopped by Dave's hot chicken and waffles today because the original place we were gonna go to was closed for a private event. As soon as we walked in, James & Jahaira were friendly, professional, and extremely helpful. Highly recommend this location!

The best fast food I've had is Dave's Hot ChickenI love it a lot! Whenever I'm in a rush, hungry, or getting takeout, this is my go-to spot. I also take all my friends here. They're open late at night, and I absolutely love the taste. Recently, I visited a location where a guy named Josue was at the register. He was warm, welcoming, and took great care of me, making sure I had everything I needed. He even tried recommending items to me, but I let him know that I'm a regular at Dave's Hot Chicken, just not at this particular ... read more

I ordered on the kiosk inside and the order didn't take long to be ready. They have indoor & outdoor seating. I ordered the 2 tenders with fries. The chicken is moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. I like that you can change the spice level to your liking. The fries were fresh & hot. 

Business response:

Sounds like you had a solid visit! Glad you liked the tenders and fries—nothing beats fresh and crispy. Hope to see you again soon!

I had a very filling, satisfying visit tonight at Dave's at little Tokyo. I was already a fan of the bites and chose to order the 10pc with the fries. I ordered with no spice and let me tell you, beats chick fil a!!! For $10! That's a steal. Staff was very nice and courteous. Will be back!!!! 

Business response:

You’ve got us all pumped up over here with your kind words! A massive thank you for the 5 stars. Here’s to more great times ahead!

Watched this store get robbed for chicken, and they still had my order ready in less than ten minutes. Shout out to Ms Heidi I believe her name was for her excellent service and smile.
