Tucked inside Culver City's Citizen Public Market, Go Go Bird serves crave-worthy, Szechuan-inspired fried chicken tenders, wings, and sandwiches that are all about that crunchy, juicy goodness.
"Of all the stalls in Culver's Citizen Public Market, Go Go Bird should be your first priority. This chicken specialist serves Szechuan-seasoned tenders with a thick, crunchy batter that reminds us of fish and chips. Dipping sauces like spicy honey and Japanese ranch are great, but the creamy togarashi aioli pairs best with the slightly spicy chicken. Every order comes with pickles and a cheddar biscuit (drizzled in condensed milk and miso powder), plus they offer solid sides like baked mac and cheese and veggie gyoza. Come here to catch up with a friend over a reasonably priced meal." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park
"Chef Brandon Kida’s Culver City fried chicken spot serves what he calls “Los Angeles-style fried chicken.” The chicken is available as tenders, wings, or a sandwich and is drizzled with Szechuan-style chili oil before serving." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff

"Find Go Go Bird tucked inside Citizens Public Market in Culver City. The corner vendor is the place to go for those who refuse to choose between spicy or crispy when it comes to chicken wings because this stall’s got it all. Chef Brandon Kida marinates Jidori chickens in a bevy of spices before frying them to order and finishing with Sichuan-style chile oil. The results are supremely crunchy wings that pack serious heat. Make sure to get some herb-flecked Japanese ranch and togarashi aioli on the side, the duo of creamy sauces balances the chicken’s spice nicely. Cheddar biscuits, drizzled in condensed milk and topped with miso powder, work well as a side dish or even dessert." - Eater Staff
