I ordered combo #2 which comes with two sandwiches and two fries. The spice level I got was hot and it was definitely spicy. I love spicy food so this was perfect for me but if you don’t like spice, get mild. The employees were really nice! Plenty of parking in the back. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

I’ve been to the other Al’s and wanted to check this one out because it was closer. Great spot, a lot bigger and a patio area for outside seating. I ordered the half chicken at a medium level spice. At medium spice it was very delicious but got me sweating a lot. It was a very satisfying meal with a whole lot of fries. I had the ranch and honey sauces. The chicken was cooked perfectly but the exterior skin parts were a little hard but still overall great half chicken. Finished it off with a Diet Coke & I highly recommend this spot if you’re in town.

I usually order from the SM location but delivery defaults to this location when I'm home. I've ordered several times from the Venice location, and there was always a problem. I ordered several combos and they always seem to forget something or are purposely being stingy. My mom and request extra seasoning on our fries and for good measure, will ask for some on the side, because they never apply the extra seasoning to the fries. The last delivery from them, I asked the delivery driver to see if they'd give him a small container on the side and they said they put it in the bag. They didn't and they didn't add the extra seasoning to the fries either. You'd think I'm asking for the winning lottery ticket when it comes to asking for a side of fry seasoning. If I'm spending a minimum of $35, the least they could do is get my order right or give the side of seasoning. I'll only order from the SM location even if it means driving to go get it.

My partner and I decided to try out all the spicy fried chicken joints in Culver City and this is hands down the best one. 100x better than Dave’s across the street. Fries are some of the best I’ve had and chicken in the sandwich was generously sized, juicy and perfectly fried. Make sure to get Al’s white sauce on the side for the fries 😍 The storefront is unassuming but def recommend giving this place a try. A pleasant surprise!

Decided to try this place because of an ad my husband saw on instagram. The atmosphere was bright, loud, and uncomfortable. There seemed to be a lot of college kids there. We waited 30 minutes for our order of 2 sandwiches, 2 fries, and an order of fried pickles. We each got a free cone of ice cream which was tasty. The soda machine was in the back, which was just odd. We sat at a table to wait and they were unnecessarily huge. Super uncomfortable. We got our food and it came out hot and fresh, the chicken “batter” was falling off of the chicken which was annoying and not a good experience. The sauce was just a smokey mayonnaise. The fried pickles were too hard and oily. The fries were pretty tasty. It was like $30, and a 30 minute wait. I won’t be coming here again.

I am so happy that this place is close to me. I have a sudden craving for Hot Chicken wings for past 2 months and Al is life saver! spice and sauce is good but I love that generous toast and pickles. What a great meal! There is a middle eastern grocery store and I love shopping there while waiting for my chickens. Great place!

Was so good! I had tried another hot chicken joint just up the street a few months prior that left something to be desired. Al's was my 2nd hot chicken experience and it hit the trifecta delivering in freshness, value, and flavor (my kingdom for a spicy mole sauce, guys!!). Criticisms? Could use more slaw and the sheer amount of fries are totally unnecessary as you'll need to save room. I'm eager to go back and sample the menu.

Absolutely loved this place. Best halal fried chicken! The chicken was super juicy and I loved how they put coleslaw in their sandwiches. Definitely will come back when I’m in LA.
