Jollibee - Los Angeles

No matter where I am, I always enjoy dining at Jollibee. I've been to locations in Singapore, New York, Chicago, and now finally in Los Angeles. The food is fantastic, and the friendly staff always make me feel welcome. I can't resist the Filipino twist on the chicken wings. Lol!

I had an excellent spicy chicken sandwich here. Unlike many other fast food places, this sandwich is genuinely spicy and absolutely delicious! This has now become my go-to spot for a spicy chicken sandwich. Great job, Jollibee team—you guys are the best at this!

I absolutely adore this restaurant. As a professional chef who specializes in gourmet cuisine, I typically don’t indulge in fast food, but there’s something incredibly comforting and satisfying about this place. I’ve sampled nearly every item on the menu, and honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them. My top picks are the cheese yumburger, the spaghetti, and the pineapple juice. I find myself craving this food every week!

My brother brought home a bucket of chicken, featuring both regular and spicy varieties. I preferred the spicy chicken, as it was crispier and better cooked. The regular chicken was decent but could have used a bit more frying. We also had fries, rice, mashed potatoes, and spaghetti as sides. The spaghetti was intriguing—its flavor was different from what I’m used to, but I enjoyed it. The rice, fries, and mashed potatoes were all good, nothing particularly unusual about them. One detail I appreciated was that the spicy chicken was marked with a little flag; not many places do that, and I think it’s a nice touch. If I’m ever near one of their locations again, I would definitely stop by for another meal.

I was excited to try this restaurant after all the hype, but my experience was quite mixed. Starting with the highlights, the chicken sandwich was definitely the standout item—absolutely delicious! However, it was puzzling that a fried chicken place didn't serve breast or wings; that didn't make much sense and lowered my expectations right off the bat. The gravy was flavorful and paired well with everything, and the sauces were also impressive. The fries reminded me of McDonald's fries—decent, but nothing special. Unfortunately, the chicken tenders were the biggest letdown; they were tough and lacked flavor, and I even noticed a strange fishy taste at times. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and would prefer Popeyes or Bojangles instead!
