"We like that this fried chicken stall has a row of barstools at the counter, so you can sit and eat your sandwich without having to fight a group of people in suits for a table elsewhere in GCM. But easy seating isn’t the only reason to eat here—the fried chicken is also very solid. You can get three or five pieces, but we like the sandwich, which comes with pickles, smoked paprika aioli, and lettuce." - Brant Cox, Nikko Duren
"A Los Angeles spot that serves fried chicken in plain, utilitarian paper barrels, underscoring the idea that the bucket’s value is functional rather than decorative and that a minimal carrier can still deliver communal comfort." - Nicole Adlman
"Grand Central Market is the place to try a little bit of everything — and that includes some of LA’s best fried chicken. The Lucky Bird stand turns out not only the now-ubiquitous fried chicken sandwiches, it also offers buckets of bird, wings, and combo orders for those eating on the fly." - Eater Staff
"The close quarters of Grand Central Market in downtown Los Angeles might not feel like a first choice for dining right now, but with Grand Park just half a mile away, the collection of restaurants and vendors there can make for a great first stop on the way to a picnic. And there are few foods easier to take outdoors than fried chicken. Pair a five-piece bucket (or some sandwiches) at Lucky Bird with a couple of sides, and you’ve got a picnic meal with minimal fuss." - Vox Creative
"Lucky Bird prepares really solid fried chicken that’s juicy with a batter that always remains in place while taking a bite." - Eater Staff
