  This is the best chicken place I've been to in a long time. The French fries were outstanding; instead of the 'garlic fries' most places sell with insipid cheese and garlic greenery - these had garlic on them!  
  
  There was a problem: it was just before closing and they only had two pieces of fried chicken left. Instead of waffling or saying too bad, or just ignoring the issue...someone came and told us!!!!!!  And offered us something else if we wanted.
  
  Really nice people all around. I think you'll like it.

  I traveled about 2 hours  to Whittier to try this place ! I was so excited that I forgot to check in on yelp but,  I took lots of pictures to show how amazing this place really is!!
  This is definitely a hot spot! All the tables were in use! The people are so kind and the place has this homie feel about it, maybe because it's tiny and everyone is super friendly and all smiles. Our awesome servers Juan and Regina were very attentive to our needs. I must say I was disappointed to find out that they didn't have full bar service but Juan quickly offered us the next best thing! Micheladas!  Also, I am happy to share that from  speaking to Regina I did find out they are thinking of expanding the place and adding a full bar!  So, until then I will be sure to go to the Alhambra location for that Mezcal Margarita Flight.
  We placed our orders and within 25-30  minutes our food was hot and ready and it was so delicious! It completely made up for not having a full bar. We had  the Loaded Nachos Al Pastor and the chips are Won Tons!Such a game changer!! We also had the chicken strips but my favorite was the Spicy Chicken Sandwich (with a side of garlic fries)! The chicken was so crispy yet so juicy, the coleslaw was full of color, as for the spices and sauce they add gives the  sandwich that amazing kick! I absolutely loved the spicy chicken sandwich! This place was totally worth the drive!

  First time here and it was soooo yummy. The specialty plates are big I couldn't finish. They were playing the jams like 112, Montell Jordan basically 90s and it was nice and fresh inside friendly service also it's cozy lounge vibe. The prices for the food are good as well. And you have to get the green sauce trust if you like a good spicy kick ( not too spicy ) I also tried the garlic spread and Thai sweet I didn't really like those ones.
  Remember - what happens in the koop stays in the koop! Lol

  I feel like the nachos were huge and tasty, with lots of toppings; the chips are definitely tasty, they are custom made and I can say are one of a kind.  
  
  The service was a bit odd, the waiters walked around and it seemed awkward and I didn't know who my server was. There's no natural flow when you walk in, you're confused if you're ordering out or eating in, I didn't get seated for a couple minutes because they didn't ask if I wanted to eat in and assumed I was take out?
  
  Great nachos but something is missing, the vibe is off and the decor is loud, muting the experience.
