The chicken here is incredibly crisp and stands out from anything I have tried elsewhere. Real comfort food that hits the spot. The greens, mac, yams and fries were all full of flavor, and the dessert was the perfect finish. I enjoyed every bite and cannot wait to return.

Golden Bird is still good and crunchy . The service was nothing special, and the atmosphere was nonexistent, I was the only one there. They only except cash and the do have an , so that’s good. No menu’s everything is written on a black board. I’ll go back only in the daytime! Not a good neighborhood to be in after dark!

The chicken looks and taste burnt or fried in old grease. A waste of my money, will keep going to Honey Kettle. Until they do the same, as Golden Bird..

I’ll begin with a precursor, it was pure nostalgia that moved me in the direction to try Golden Bird! You know, the sweet memories of sitting in the backseat and grubbing on their delicious chicken after church with my grandma. That slightly sweet, crunchy coating!!! Yes, yes and yes- I drove by a few times and today was finally the day that I gave in. Well, first thing that should of deterred me was the prices!! Initially, I was just gonna grab a few pieces for the family-but a 16 piece was almost $70!!!!! I must admit that I was very insulted because what chicken costs that much??? Even air chilled, organic chicken from Whole Foods isn’t that much! And even bigger, this isn’t even freshly fried chicken! This chicken is prefried, sits under a heat lamp for who knows got long, and is sold on Florence and Western!! There’s no great views, no wait service, no ambiance. Actually, I was pissed that I didn’t see the huge pile of trash sitting next to the door when I went in because I’m sure it would’ve deterred me from even proceeding! Any who, I decided to grab the 2 piece with 2 sides and a corn muffin. Long story short, I wish I could’ve reclaimed my time, my energy and all 15 of my dollars!! Now I speak on the prices here but make no misunderstanding- I don’t mind playing top dollar for good food and good service! This on the other hand was not one of those experiences tho! That chicken was super greasy and tasted old, refried, and trash ready! And the sides were just plain nasty!!! For health purposes, I couldn’t even bring myself to eat the sides because watching the lady handle everybody’s money, pick trash up off the floor, then walk over and scoop the food into the container with no gloves on was disgusting!! Side bar, the sides were greens and yams!! I chose those because they were the only decent looking things in the steamer! The beans and the macaroni and cheese looked tragic- like the heat lamp had completely dried them out. Ultimately, I would not recommend eating at Golden Bird! The food was awful, as were their food safety procedures!! Worst of all is the price range!! Like if you’re gonna sling chicken in that area, at least freshly fry it and price it in a place where folks in the neighborhood could actually afford to buy it!

Best Los Angeles fried chicken food place around this area. Cash only. Your food will be hot, fresh and well packaged. Full of flavor sides and all… 10/10 would definitely recommend. Pricey but worth it.

What the heck did I just try. This mess is Nasty. The biscuits are hard as a rock mac&ch is horrible and not up to temperature. Coleslaw trash fries blah. I do not recommend this place. The peach cobbler looks like throw up.

The food what’s great as usual. However I usually request that my chicken be dipped twice, today the person said that they couldn’t do that. I’ve been going to that particular Golden Bird for the last 30 years and I always get my chicken dipped twice. The chicken is usually pretty fresh however it’s very expensive here. A two-piece Wing two sides and a biscuit is 13.99 plus tax.

This will always be the best chicken to come home to. Not to offend but it’s a Hood favorite. They only accept cash now. The prices have increased. The quality of the food has remained consistent over the last 40 years.

For the time when regular chicken want do, when you want to impress that special someone with a better than usual Chicken experience. This is your place, upon tasting the Chicken from this location you quickly realize, this is a next level type chicken, Much care is put into the flavor and this is noticed right from the sight and then theres the flavor, Second to none

1 of the last standing Golden Birds. Chicken is still pretty good. I like it. This particular time they took 4ever to take my order. As a matter of fact I left the drive up box to go to the window to order. Got my chicken and left.
