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.

Sofiana provided great customer service and the chicken and fries were so good! We had 3 groups eating together (totaling 13 people and we all felt welcomed as we moved 3 tables together. Great experience for a Saturday evening meal following a fun hockey game. 

Business response:

Thanks, Holly! We’re so glad Sofiana made your visit special and that your group felt welcome. It sounds like an awesome post-hockey meal—hope to see you all back again soon!

So much better than Canes! There is so much more flavor and even more flavor in the fries! The service is pretty reasonable and the place is clean. The chicken is pretty big and crispy. Great place for a quick bite for good chicken!

The chicken was amazing! I almost cried by how good it was. It was like the sun was melting into a piece of chicken and that chicken made its way to East Lansing. The fries were well seasoned and the pickles were fresh!

It sounds like everything from the sun-kissed chicken to the seasoned fries and fresh pickles made your meal memorable. We can't wait to serve you more of those sun-melted moments on your next visit to East Lansing. See you soon!
