order 3 combos & a extra chicken tender thinking they were regular tenders and I was impressed I can see why it’s quite pricey. Food was delicious and restaurant was clean.

YO! Legit mouth watering Nashville style spicy chicken sandwich shop just opened towards the east side! It replaced the original Flame Broiler. Finally don’t have to travel to downtown Los Angeles to eat something like this. It seems that this place is Korean owned, so if you eaten Korean Fried Chicken, then you will know this place is pretty legit. Food I ordered the B Combo, with the fries, drink and medium spicy. The medium is not that spicy, so if you like spicy I would recommend going higher. The meal came with a small side of cornslaw, and as a new opening special they were nice enough to let me try all their difference sauces. I would say the Honey Mustard and Cilantro Aioli are the best. I believe they will have the sauce and side of cornslaw throughout December in this location. The potato fries reminds me of a place called Potato Corner at the Santa Anita mall, where they can flavor your fries to your choice of sour cream, honey bbq, and cheddar cheese. I ended up choosing honey bbq, and they were quite good! I am curious about their other items on the menu, like the tenders, potato croquettes and Mac and cheese. Maybe next time I can give those a try. Do keep in mind that a combo like what I ordered would be about $15, and that they do open only after 430pm for now.

Came here on 3/15/2022, the crew that was clocked in at 6:30 pm was absolutely lovely! They were all super kind the cashier and even the chefs, one of them stepped out onto the floor and asked everyone how they were doing. They really made my boyfriend and I feel welcome. The food is delicious and the crew is amazing!! Makes me want to go again even though I just left!

It’s an amazing and innovative Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich place that I have visited. There’s a five spicy level that you can choose from. Their sandwiches are humongous also. There are 3 flavors for French fries, Honey bbq, Sour cream onion and Cheddar cheese to choose from and they’re thinner than steak fries but pretty thick and delicious. They use special Buns for the sandwiches. Their corn slaw and pickles are also killed for. Try their sampler, they give you A Lot of food for the money.

This place is sooooo good. I recommend it to anyone. I've been looking for a hot chicken place nearby and I don't know how I've missed this we have been going here almost every weekend. Get the Hot Republic Sampler. You can't go wrong with anything because the chicken is so dang crispy. I want to slap Colonel Sanders for saying his chicken was crispy. And the chicken here is HUGE. You can get full off a one Tender meal, but trust me, take some home. Oh, and if you think the chicken is good, the fries are so buttery, soft, and crisp. The man that works here (might be the owner) is so awesome that he takes out a toy sword and starts to point out what he has on the menu we're in love with this place now. Cilantro sauce is my fave. Take two butter toast and make your own sandwhich with that sauce. It's heaven. Start off slow on the spice here cause they do not kid around. Mild is great. The husband gets hot, and he starts to sweat.

The chicken here is bomb!! Huge pieces of juicy chicken, perfectly light crisp/crunch, good seasoning and taste. Fries are SO good Food is super fresh, so you might need to wait but it’s so worth. Mac&cheese is diff (not necessarily bad,but diff) so just a heads up. The spice ain’t too spicy - I got the hot and it was prob like a howlin rays med.

I went on a day trip with family members to the California Botanical Gardens and I wanted to find a tasty eatery nearby. After scrolling through numerous offerings, I came across Hot Chicken Republic. I was interested in giving them a try as Nashville Hot chicken has become quite popular and I was in the mood for HEAT! Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and subsequently treated really well. The cashier & server were sweetly attentive and gracious. They allowed us to use the restroom (clean) that was temporarily closed to the public. The food was AMAZING! My niece ordered the HUGE slider which was actually a full size sandwich. She loved it! My sis and I got the wings with medium heat and they were yummy, although I could have gone up a notch on the heat index (my sis could barely handle it though, lol) They brought out samples of all of their sauces and we loved the aioli cilantro, but the ranch and spicy mayo were tasty as well. The fries are also excellent and well seasoned. One of the employees noticed that my sis had put balloons in the car and he asked if it was her birthday (which it was), so as an added bonus, they gave all of us complimentary ice cream that was a perfect dessert after all the spice! Ultimately it is now our fave Hot Chicken spot thus far and we will definitely be back next time we're in the area. But even better than the food was the excellent and courteous service, delivered with smiles and genuine kindness. I hope this place manages to stay open so that they can continue to provide great service and excellent eatage!

Best fried chicken I've had in a while! And i say this while taking into account all the Korean Fried chicken places that have popped up in the recent years. This place is solid non frills crispy goodness. Their hot option is decently hot as well. I got their sliders, def too big for a single meal. Was perfect shared between two people. The girl working there was very friendly! Wanted to shout-out to her for being so positive the whole time!
