The Best Hot Chicken In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Hot chicken has never been a very portable dish, unless you’re OK with spicy drippings streaming down your arms and face. But Bangin’ Buns’ choice of hotdog buns instead of traditional white bread or brioche makes these sandwiches the ultimate grab-and-go option. This Huntington Park spot serves some incredibly juicy tenders that come with a lighter spice marinade than the crimson red oil you’ll find at other hot chicken places. The heat is really concentrated underneath the chicken’s skin, which spares you the mess of spicy sauce seeping out of the bun. Bangin Buns’ sandwiches also come with a delicious homemade slaw that is mildly creamy but with a nice kick, and their Bangin’ sauce is another savory, mayo-based concoction that goes great on just about everything too. We like the texture contrast between the fried chicken and ultra-soft hotdog bun, but also love these spicy tenders all on their own with Bangin’s hot honey and ranch dip." - sylvio martins

I honestly like their food a lot. I got the tender plate in mild. The chicken and fries were so tasteful. It was a large plate, I couldn't finish it in one sit. The banana pudding is also very delicious. The service was nice. The place was clean and quiet. I have nothing to complain about this place. I would like to come back for sure.

It was our first time coming here and let me say it was bomb! Food is super delicious, customer service was awesome thank you Samvel, super clean to. We will definitely be coming back soon. The Banana pudding is one of a kind. Super delicious, never had one this good.

5/5, this chicken spot lived up to the instagram hype. I got the Bangin fries witch has coleslaw and pickles included. The guy gave my friend and I free lemonade which was really nice. They have like 5 spice levels which was perfect for me because the spicy option is usually too hot to enjoy when it’s just two choices. I went with medium which was the perfect balance of flavor and my maximum heat preference. It was definitely rich but it’s worth it. Coleslaw was yummy and helped balance the chicken. Also, the mango lemonade was the perfect refreshment to cool down the spice. I would definitely go again to try more and maybe get the banana pudding because that looks fire🔥

IG 9/10, IRL 7.2/10 this is a Cajun Cane's 😂 Ordered the sandwich and tender plate with hot spiciness level for $16.99. Flavor is good, tender size is good, cooked perfectly but for the price needed to include a drink. Fries are meh (you're not there for these, trust). Their bangin sauce is a less potent cane's sauce, not bad tho. Their seasoning did the talking. Location lost a point due to drink options being sparse (but gained it back). Fountain machine was out, lemonade wasn't ready to be served, could buy canned Pepsi or bottled water. Bought none. But worker saw I had kids and gave me 2 water bottles, that's great service! I could eat here again, likely won't because of distance and price but if I'm near you and want a *Cajun Cane's* I'm dipping in!

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. Located in a somewhat seedy appearing, dilapidated plaza, this place was actually refreshing to find. Inside is clean and spacious. Ordered the hot chicken Caesar salad burrito and this was a five out of five. Chicken was good, burrito was moist and flavorful and was a large portion. However I'm giving this place a 4 star instead of 5 because of the price. Burrito alone was $18!! Also got the tender plate that comes with three chicken tenders, a piece of toast and fries. Food was delicious and it comes with a bunch of extra packets of sauce which I always love because I'm a condiment whore. This was $17! 4/5 for taste though Also got a banana pudding for dessert. Cost six dollars and didn't really taste like banana unfortunately. Give this a two out of five. Front cashier was George who helped us and he was friendly and helpful so that is always appreciated. Would be back!

Tried the Mac and Fries plate and loved it so i came back! Super flavorful, with just the right amount of spice not too hot but still tasty. The portions are great, the prices is affordable compared to other places, and the service was quick. Great customer service as well. Definitely recommend.

This place is to expensive, I got 3 chicken sandwiches by themselves and it was almost $46, the sandwiches aren't that big either for the price, I know a lot more place that I would go to before coming here ever again Ripoff

The tenders and burgers here are tasty. The fries are well seasoned and I like their dipping sauces. Service was friendly and the food was made to order quickly. Price is in portions are fair. Great option if you're looking for fried chicken and or burgers in the area!

Ive been to the location on Sherman way and it never disappoints. So when I found out that there was a location closer I was really excited to go . The place is very clean, the music was really loud , but I guess it's ok . The place was empty but the girl behind the counter seemed busy because it took her a bit before she came to talk our order . Food came out daily quickly and my kids were pretty pleased with their order . I wish I could say the same for mine . I ordered the Cesar chicken salad , it was gross , the entire salad was drenched in dressing . I tried to eat it but I couldn't. The Mac and cheese was runny and had no flavor . The Kraft Mac and cheese tastes better .

Some of the best Smash Burgers & the juiciest Chicken Tenders and AT THE END OF THE NIGHT!! Our number was legit 99, and the service was impeccable, our wait wasn't long at all and the music kept me dancing in my seat! I really enjoyed my visit and this is on the repeat list for sure!! Cheers!!

My teen son found your place on Tik tok so we gave it a try. Clean establishment, service with a smile . We would have dined in however, Air conditioner temp was way too cold, so we got food to go. Strawberry lemonade was a hit, smash burger and tender medium definitely enough heat hot honey tasty we will be back

chicken quality changed drastically. It's very dry and does not look appetizing. Doesn't seem like it was cooked properly. The breading looks nasty. Customer service was not welcoming. Tables inside were dirty even though it wasn't busy. They could spend some time making sure it at least seems clean on the surface.

Hi I am a big trisha fan and came from the bay area excited to try Bangin Buns, unfortunately i didn't realize the trisha options are only at the sherman oaks location. I didn't realize but the customer service was still friendly. If you like spicy i recommend the hot bangin because the medium was not enough. Either way! I was happy to try the famous bangin buns!

Mild Chicken Sandwich - not much flavor from the chicken or the breading 6/10 Fries - some fries were hard unfortunately and needed just a tad more seasoning but i still ate em all 7/10 Strawberry Lemonade- solid 8/10 Service was quick and easy, the shop is clean and spacey, but the food just wasn't worth the $20 bucks i spent on it tbh. would still go back if it was the closest place near and i was craving a chicken sandwich. Overall 7/10.

Let's start with a warning. The heat is hotter than I anticipated. When I visit a new place, and they offer some assortment of spicy concoctions, I always go with medium. It's my respect for the limitation of pain from next day, also the level of heat they could bring. Their medium is pretty yum. Chicken is tender and juicy. The heat creeped in during 2nd half of the meal, oh yes, sneaky. I start to involuntarily chug gulps of soda. It was a good burn. Decent spot with freshly made comfort foods.

Love the food here, my only issue is the staff is not welcoming at all. Whoever the guy with the forearm tattoos is seems to always have an attitude. This was the second time that i go in , say hello and silence. Once given the food, as well i say thank you, have a great day and the same silence. Like are you mad because no tip was given? Is this how you are with all customers? A Thank you comes a long way!

Picked up a piece of chicken by a hair that was cooked in the chicken. They said they would cool a new order instead they cut up the pieces that were in the original order and gave it right back in 5 minutes. The order was fries and Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese smelled and tasted like mildew.

Yelp
The food was pretty good. I got the Bangin Fries with Medium spice and it was actually well made. The fries were a good crispiness (I tend to be picky with my fries lol). The chicken was also really good. I was unsure of the spiciness of the food and I would say that its the type of spice that builds as you keep eating.

Second time coming to Bangin Buns. Not in the greatest location but my son wanted to try the new Bangin Pop bowl. Lol it's just chicken strips with fries. He wanted it plain. Fries and chicken are okay.

Christian R.

I drove 2 hours to try this establishment and wish I had stayed home. To begin with the customer service was completely disastrous they are understaffed leading to long wait times, cold food and a lack of amusement. Now the meal itself was even worse than the customer service the fries were completely underwhelming lacked flavor and were terrible quality comparable to cheap store bought fries.The sliders are even worse than the fries not only is the chicken dry but completely flavorless, the bread is nothing special but not nearly as bad as the rest of the meal. I also strongly recommend skipping on the coleslaw as it dose not combine well with the rest of the lackluster meal, the sauce is neither bad nor good as it just taste like ketchup. Now the ambience was lack luster just like the meal the interior had ugly art wall and had very little seating now the exterior of the restaurant was horrible but I cannot blame the restaurant as this is a problem all over the city.

It was OK. Chicken was tasty, fries were decent. Mac n cheese lacked seasoning and it was almost gummy-like. Probably won't come here again.

Really not as great as the rest of the hot chick places. We had an online order which took forever to pick up in store. Food was cold, cheese was hard on fries and just not amazing quality. Sorry guys.

AWFUL! chicken batter soggy, Mac was powdery, sauce cup barely had any, asked for no pickles, fries were cheapo first street brand vibes, that lemonade was pure lemon sugar heartburn. Passive aggressive customer service! DONT GO HERE UNLESS YOU LIKE DISGUSTING FOOD! 0 stars

Drove 45 minutes to go here after seeing all over instagram. Finally went and they didn't have rice or Mac and cheese which is used in all the videos they post. Disappointed we went elsewhere after.

I don't know how they promote the way they do because it's disgusting! Right before entering a rat ran across the front doors! That should've been my sign to leave. Walked in terrible service. Ordered the bangin combo, really small servings. Barely any chicken and fries. Sauce was half empty and their side of Mac even worse! If I hadn't taken it to go I would've asked for a refund for wasting my time!

Update from last review as I have tried some of there other foods here. Before I begin I must inform you that parking is tight here. I like coming here 15 to 20 minutes before they open to avoid long lines and hopes to get a descent parking. I tried there chicken sandwiche which has chicken tender spice level to your liking, slaw, pickles, bangin sauce. The bread wow ok well its like a hoagie obsorbs all the sauce everything in this sandwiche is perfectly matched and portions as well. If your anything like me extra pickles will be needed. Banana pudding the bomb haven't had it made like this since last year very tasty. The tea mango and strawberry both taste perfect!

Service was good, food was great. If you like spicy and regularly eat spicy, "hot" is not spicy enough. But I wish there were more locations.

my boyfriend and i have been wanting to try this place and decided it was time to try! inside the place was nice! simple had good music and clean! no restroom though! the food was good i got the bangin fries with spice level hot; it was yummy and not really spicy at all the chicken was nice and tender and fell apart so deliciously its my favorite! my boyfriend got the smash burger fries ; he said it was good as well but hoped they had more fries! but we concluded that the amount of food was enough to not be so ridiculously full! the single chicken tender was 5$ and is dumb pricey for just the tender alone so idk about that. overall would recommend this place and come again! overall we think a 4.5 is suitable for this meal!

clean restaurant and good service playing good music good vibes i got the sandwich and a banging plate lil pricey ran about 37 for those two things and two drinks

Avi R.

Yelp
Food and service were off the chart. Took me less than 10 minutes to sit down with my food, everyone in there is nice, terrific atmosphere. The food overall was good. They also have sneaky smash burgers, and as a guy from the midwest I can say they attest. Love how they're food is meant to be that hangover cure, that craving clentcher, and also great drinks as well. Only lost a star because it just did not have that wow factor or anything special enough to put it ahead in the broad fried chicken world.

I saw the coupon for this place in Groupon it was a very good deal 10 dollars each for less than 5 dollars. The menu is very simple to read and understand they have several different chicken plates strips or nuggets, pickles, fries and banana pudding which I can recommend there is fresh bananas in it,wafer cookies and a vanilla and banana custard pudding not rich but very good flavor and thick like homemade.They have 5 different sauces from extra mild the taste is little seasoned fried chicken all the way to Super hot RING THE ALARM! I'm just on the second level cant wait to move up,I definently will be coming back when I am on this side of town Florence/Compton I reccomend this place

Food was good, staff was great, music was fun, decor is cool, but management I see you, you're not pulling your weight. No place to wash my hands before I eat my $20 meal, no fountain for ice water? Shameful.

Bangin Buns serves up some fire chicken that's super moist, flavorful, and hot! The bangin' sauce is a must to add to your tenders and anything else you get here too. Everything was served hot with an extra kick of spice (you can choose your heat level) and the fries came nice and crispy as well!

LOVE THE BANANA PUDDING!! Chickens are really good too! Really well seasoned and delicious. A few clean seating inside the restaurants. The bangin pops is really nice if you like a little sweet. Banging plate & fries are really yummy too. I WILL BE BACK!!

Really good Nashville style sandwiches, the wait time was not bad at all probably waited 10 mins I got the hottest spicy level and it had a good flavor. It wasn't that type of spicy that it just burns and doesn't have flavor. I recommend this place, it is now my go to Nashville sandwich place
