"A cult-favorite Los Angeles import celebrated for Nashville-style hot chicken and fried chicken sandwiches; historically fans have lined up for hours to get in, and long weekend lines remain a common sight." - Janna Karel
"Los Angeles hot chicken specialist joining the food hall lineup, known for its spicy fried chicken offerings." - Rebecca Roland
"Joining the Via Via lineup is Howlin’ Ray’s, the Los Angeles hot chicken restaurant." - Janna Karel
"The longest lines these days are still at the Nashville-inspired food truck-turned-shop Howlin' Ray's Hot Chicken, which opened in 2016." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"This Chinatown spot has been widely credited for sparking LA’s love for hot chicken, with pre-pandemic wait times often reaching up to two hours. Today, you can get your Howlin’ Rays delivered and it still comes just as tender and spicy as always. Their fiery red chicken isn’t just for show though and it comes in a spectrum of spice levels ranging from comfortably hot to so-good-but-I-might-cry spicy. Their sandwich has the standard brioche bun, pickles, and swirl of a savory mayo-based sauce, but it’s their peppery slaw that adds a nice acidity to the whole thing." - sylvio martins
