Good spot for brunch! Chicken tacos were delicious. Would also recommend the nachos and brussel sprouts. Generous portions for sharing. For drinks, you can get 3 juices for a bottle of champagne for mimosas. Also recommend the hibiscus margarita.

Food 4/5Service 4/5Atmosphere 4/5Cost: PoorThe food was good but way too greasy for me. I usually drink a coke or two but this time had to drink a couple more refills to finish the burger.

Fantastic service. Food was served very quickly and perfectly made. Awesome selection of tasty dishes. Good variety of mostly chicken themed food of all types. A few vegan options. Too many great choices. Everything on the menu looked tasty.

I have been living in Hacienda Heights for several years and it wasn’t until my best friend took me out for my 30th birthday that we discovered this restaurant. I must say as a Mexican I was a tad skeptical about their menu (since they have some Mexican food) but oh boy! when I had the food I really enjoyed it.Enjoyed it so much I went back for more (a few days later ?). The taquitos are garnished in an authentic way, with lettuce, sour cream, cheese etc. Oh and get this, the salsa is ACTUALLY spicy . I know right? (Gasps in Spanish) ?.Now, I’ll be honest, pozole is NOT chicken soup as their menu describes it ?. Nevertheless, it tastes really good and with the taquitos alongside makes it the perfect combination. The drinks both aguas frescas and cocktails were both refreshing and tasty.I’ll let the picture speak for itself!The service was also exceptional. Both times different team members helped us and they were all really great. With a big smile and very personable. It seemed like they’re content to work there and it reflects on their faces and attitude while working. I really hope this is the case.I am definitely coming back and I will also definitely recommend it to everyone I know!

Staff was nice but not on the same page, when we walked in we asked if we can be seated outside since it was empty & inside was full, we were told it would be a 15 minute wait. As we were.waiting, another family comes in, maybe 10 minutes that we have been waiting & they ask to be seated outside also. They were told, they could order their food now & self seat outside & someone would bring out their food. So we go back in & mention that we were not offered to order now. I had also asked how much were the refills for the cucumber drink & was told 1 is free, after eating I went in & requested my refill but was told I had to buy another one. As for the food, the chicken was a little too dry, good flavor but hard to swallow.

So, the fried chicken, tastes incredible for all the three different spice levels. Waffles are also bomb.com. I also really enjoy the fries with garlic sauce.Only problem, I got bad stomach pain after each of the three times I ate here, it's definitely the fried chicken. I mean, really bad, lasting hours into the next day.I think it's the quality of the chicken, which is more apparent when you order something like the chicken quesadilla.Now I understand all the jokes about Taco Bell, that's how I feel about this place. For me, stomach problems are not worth it, even though the fried chicken is really good.

Came to The Chicken Koop while visiting friends in the Whitter area and we were in the uptown area. The inside dining area was pretty crowded, but the outside dining patio was pretty empty. It was a nice California day, so ate outside to enjoy the weather. Service was prompt from the time to walking inside to sitting down outside and placing our orders.Everything on the menu sounded good, so started off with some Hummus & Veggies for an appetizer. Also, ordered 2 of the featured margaritas. Both appetizer and the drinks came out right away. The cauliflower and brussels sprouts were nicely charred and went well with the hummus and naan bread. Drinks were also good as weren't overly sweet or strong and had a nice flavored rim.Ordered the roasted chicken plate made Butter Garlic style with garlic fries and sweet plantains as the sides. I also picked the garlic spread and the green sauce as my dipping sauces. Food came out within 15 minutes and was grilled with a nice crisp on the outside, yet still juicy on the inside. Sides were good, especially the sweet plantains. The dipping sauces were a nice complement to the chicken. Both dipping sauces were good, depending upon which flavor you were looking for.There were a few other menu items that caught my eye that I will try on my next visit to the area.

We visited the Koop on a whim while working nearby for a day. Good choice. Not sure what the seasoning is they use on their chicken but it is very good. Portions were a little small for my taste but I left satisfied. Mac and cheese was great. Service was good as well, very homey kind of feel.

Food was good drinks was well made nice environment very clean and safe

Great atmosphere. Good selection of import and domestic beer. Fried Chicken Sandwich is dynamite.
