I will say the chicken sandwich was very good, but I would not stand in line for more than one hour. Luckily I was in line for about 40 to 45 minutes which apparently isn’t too bad for this place on a Sunday. When I couldn’t decide on spicy level, the guy who rang me up, warned me that it was very spicy. I didn’t believe it, but he gave me a little nugget to try and man was he right! I’m glad he gave me a piece because I would’ve been regretting my decision. It really sucks that they don’t really have much of a seating area. There was a really good parking right across the street for I think five dollars.

What really shines here is their amazing customer service. I am amazed how friendly and helpful they are. Their chicken sando will be the best you had in LA. It’s freshly made, hot, crispy and tender. I also ask for the house sauce to go with the chicken tenders and the French fries. Medium spicy is not too spicy so I recommend you try it. It’s just slightly more spicier than chick fil a spicy sandwich.

Amazing Nashville hot chicken! I love a place that doesn’t joke around with its spice levels! Levels 4 and up are very spicy so beware if you can’t handle the heat. But even though it is extremely spicy at level 5 it still remains flavourful. The chicken is fresh and juicy and the staff were also wonderful. Will definitely go back next time I’m in LA.

Howlin’s Ray is a must-visit spot for anyone who loves fried chicken! I recently tried their chicken sandwich and was blown away by how crispy, thick, and juicy the chicken fillet was. The fries were also nicely seasoned and crispy. However, a word of warning: even their mild level of heat packs a spicy punch.

I’ve had many hot chicken before, but this one is up there, it’s very delicious, get the medium or hot if you actually want to enjoy it and not suffer. I’ve never had their hottest level, but im pretty sure it’d be painful lol. I’d also recommend ordering through door dash or something rather than going there since their lines are ridiculously long, but other than that, I’d 100% recommend this place.

Having tried many hot chicken sandwich places in the Bay Area and Sacramento, they’ve all had their own twists on it, but I’ve never described them as “delicious” until I made my way into this hole in the wall.

I believe this place started the fried chicken frenzy in LA. There are so many talk at this place that we finally found our way to visit the famous place.

Simply put: the best fried chicken / fried chicken sandwich ive ever had and probably will ever have. The bun is perfect, warm and soft. the chicken is nicely seasoned, juicy and depending on heat level, really spicy which is a nice surprise. The cole slaw and pickles are fresh and crunchy. Its perfect! Fries seasoned beautifully and crunchy and dont get me started on that Comeback sauce…

Awesome food, exceptional customer service even though they are extremely busy. I was there an hour before they open. The queue started building up even before they open. The only negative is that they don’t have any sitting area and finding a place to sit can be a bit chellanging.
