The food was amazing! Years ago I ate at a zonkou chicken in the valley and loved it. I was so excited when I saw one opening up here. The hummus and garlic are top tier. The quality of the food is so fresh. My husband and I both got chicken skewer and it was juicy and well seasoned. We did order ahead online and my husband said getting the he food was smooth.

Based on some other reviews of this location I was not expecting it to be great. I was VERY wrong! They beat my expectations by a mile!
We ordered our usual Chicken Tarna bowl with cucumber salads and cabbage salad. My daughter got the hummus instead of the cabbage salad. Everything was absolutely delicious! It tasted like there was love in the food.
The service was also top notch. From the lady who helped us with our order to the young man who brought an extra fork – everyone was super kind and seemed genuinely happy to be there.
This is my new go-to location. So happy they are close by now!

Great food! I think it’s even better than the West LA Zankou Chicken location. Super high quality. Staff are friendly. Restaurant is clean and new. The parking lot is a mess though just FYI.

Zankou Chicken in Hawthorne just opened on Wednesday and it’s already amazing! The chicken is juicy and full of flavor, the garlic sauce is unbeatable, and the portions are generous. They were even offering free baklava samples to people dining in—so delicious! The staff is friendly and welcoming.
