Reviews for The Chicken Koop in Whittier, CA
First time dinning in, won't be the last. This is our top option for spicy fried chicken sandwich. It is super hot but so... tasty. Make sure to get a cold drink. Beer on tap is great. You will love this place. The rotisserie chicken is to die for Read more
Waiters and waitresses are all very friendly and helpful. The chicken sandwich was decent. The spicy chicken sandwich was said... to be a 9/10 spice but after tasting it I was disappointed as it was very mild. Overall the vibe of the indoor area is nice;good music and sports shown on the tv. Read more
What a welcome surprise The Chicken Koop turned out to be! One of those places we just decided to try out on a whim. It was an... obvious choice because when you have kids, chicken on the menu is your best bet. But this place specializes in all thingschicken, and they do deliver the goods. Various tasty takes on chicken you might find in different restaurants all emanatemagically from this place. We had the awesome loaded nachos and poutine (both with shredded chicken of course!), and they weresome of the best appetizers I"ve had! Both bad and good for the heart at the same time! The waffles had a caramelized aftertaste that made me consume more carbs than I should've, and their fried chicken has some secret seasoning giving it a uniquelysatisfying flavor. Their dipping sauces were great as well. The garlic sauce and the green sauce tasted just as good as thosefound in Zankou or El Pollo Inka, and took their roasted chicken another notch higher. Their place was clean, down to thebathrooms, and the staff was very helpful and accomodating. This restaurant is very highly recommended if you crave chicken inall its glorious forms, and available under one roof! Sorry Colonel, but these guys most definitely do chicken right! Read more
Good spot for brunch! Chicken tacos were delicious. Would also recommend the nachos and brussel sprouts. Generous portions for... sharing. For drinks, you can get 3 juices for a bottle of champagne for mimosas. Also recommend the hibiscus margarita. Read more
Food 4/5 Service 4/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Cost: Poor The food was good but way too greasy for me. I usually drink a coke or two but... this time had to drink a couple more refills to finish the burger. Read more
I have been living in Hacienda Heights for several years and it wasn?t until my best friend took me out for my 30th birthday... that we discovered this restaurant. I must say as a Mexican I was a tad skeptical about their menu (since they have some Mexicanfood) but oh boy! when I had the food I really enjoyed it. Enjoyed it so much I went back for more (a few days later ????). Thetaquitos are garnished in an authentic way, with lettuce, sour cream, cheese etc. Oh and get this, the salsa is ACTUALLY spicy????. I know right? (Gasps in Spanish) ????. Now, I?ll be honest, pozole is NOT chicken soup as their menu describes it ????.Nevertheless, it tastes really good and with the taquitos alongside makes it the perfect combination. The drinks both aguasfrescas and cocktails were both refreshing and tasty. I?ll let the picture speak for itself! The service was also exceptional.Both times different team members helped us and they were all really great. With a big smile and very personable. It seemed likethey?re content to work there and it reflects on their faces and attitude while working. I really hope this is the case. I amdefinitely coming back and I will also definitely recommend it to everyone I know! Read more
Came to The Chicken Koop while visiting friends in the Whitter area and we were in the uptown area. The inside dining area was... pretty crowded, but the outside dining patio was pretty empty. It was a nice California day, so ate outside to enjoy theweather. Service was prompt from the time to walking inside to sitting down outside and placing our orders. Everything on themenu sounded good, so started off with some Hummus & Veggies for an appetizer. Also, ordered 2 of the featured margaritas. Both appetizer and the drinks came out right away. The cauliflower and brussels sprouts were nicely charred and went well withthe hummus and naan bread. Drinks were also good as weren't overly sweet or strong and had a nice flavored rim. Ordered theroasted chicken plate made Butter Garlic style with garlic fries and sweet plantains as the sides. I also picked the garlicspread and the green sauce as my dipping sauces. Food came out within 15 minutes and was grilled with a nice crisp on theoutside, yet still juicy on the inside. Sides were good, especially the sweet plantains. The dipping sauces were a nicecomplement to the chicken. Both dipping sauces were good, depending upon which flavor you were looking for. There were a fewother menu items that caught my eye that I will try on my next visit to the area. Read more
My sister recommended this restaurant to us and I can understand why. The chicken sandwiches are probably some of the best I... had. However, it was overshadowed by the garlic fries which tasted like heaven itself. I couldn't stop eating the fries once Istarted. Read more
