Howlin' Ray's Hot Chicken - Chinatown

Los Angeles's Best New Restaurants of 2016

"Howlin’ Ray's did spend the last few years roaming around the Eastside as a food truck, but this year they went full brick-and-mortar in Chinatown’s Far East Plaza, and we might never be the same. So what’s all the fuss about? Nashville hot chicken. The kind of hot that will stay will you throughout the day, into the night, and somehow still make you wake up and crave it the next morning. Lines are admittedly long all day at this order-at-the-counter spot, but no matter how long the wait might be - stick it out. Howlin' Ray's will not disappoint you." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
