Lacquered

I live down the street from this place and finally was able to try it out. I feel that I've been missing out.We ordered the Garlic Noodles with fried chicken tenders, a chicken salad and two kids meals with fried shrimp and fries. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the noodles were another highlight. The flavor has an Asian flair to it, but not overpowering. The fries are homemade. There also a long list of sauces to choose from. We went with the Fire Sauce which was good and not too spicy.The portions aren't bad either. We got the small order of noodles and it was more than enough to fill you up.We'll be back to try the other offerings.

I live down the street from where the old Gus's Fried Chicken was in LB and have been on the hunt for fried chicken since. I found Lacquered on DoorDash and decided to give it a try even though it was on the other side of the city.I got the family feast meal for four adults and a kid and there were still leftovers. The chicken is SO good; my dad is definitely a fried chicken snob and he loved it! The fried chicken is crispy and the breading is flavorful but not overwhelming salty (like fast food fried chicken). The garlic noodles were SO good and the portion is huge for the family feast. The chocolate dipped strawberries were a nice touch and were also very tasty. When I went to pick it up my meal, the owners were so nice and friendly that it just made me love the place more. This will definitely be my go-to place for fried chicken in the future!!

My family and I ordered from here on Ubereats. We were drawn to it because of its giant menu ranging from American to Asian food. They have a large dessert menu and even a dog friendly menu as well! Everything we ordered was tasty and my whole family agreed that the fries that came with the fish and chips were very good. We're normally not fans of thicker fries but these were so crispy and salty! The fish and chips portion was generous as well with four pieces of fish and loads of fries; very good. I also enjoyed their cherry oolong tea which had a rich cherry flavor to it.

Perfection, the food is delicious and fantastic portions. Veggies were cooked perfectly, chicken batter is crispy and perfectly flavored, mashed potatoes are so creamy. Amazing service as well, they are so kind. This was my first visit and the other patrons in the store were excited to tell me the food is worth the wait and I can confirm--it absolutely is!

Best Fried Chicken in Long Beach, hands down. Actually, possibly the best fried chicken of all time and I've had fried chicken all over the country. The chicken is already delicious on its own but when you pair it with any of their homemade sauce options, it's just simply perfection. It's even good in a sandwich. The sides here are delicious too. My favorite is the garlic noodles but don't sleep on their fries or peanut slaw. Not in the mood for fried chicken? No problem! They have other protein options too. I had their keto bowl with pork belly on my first visit and would definitely order again. It's a small space so plan on getting takeout but if you do see an empty table, grab it and enjoy the cool ambiance and great service from Diana and Scott. They're both amazing "pawrents" to their Husky/Shepherd mix named Butter and Chef Diana makes homemade dog treats in his honor! Our fur baby Frank is a huge fan of all their treats and is currently enjoying the chicken hearts. If you're in the mood for homemade food for you and your dog, then stop by Lacquered right now!

The best chicken nuggets I've ever had EVER. The French fries are so good. I'll definitely go there again .

The most delicious fried chicken! Super cute spot with outstanding customer service... I preferred the buffalo sauce over the honey mustard but that's my choice of dunking sauce. The resident pup was the sweetest big boy ever. Very welcoming and I will for sure be back cuz I haven't stopped thinking about the chicken. The chicken strip deal fed me for a few days. See ya soon guys! Thanks for the full and happy belly

The chef/owner is super nice. Always giving recommendations. I rarely see this place open but when I do I'm rushing to the door. It takes 15 mins for them to prepare the food. He always gives me little sample of sauces to try.The place is tiny. Just 2 tables to eat inside. He plays country music on the speakers. I love their fried chicken. It's juicy in the inside and crispy on the outside. I love the garlic sauce. The pork belly bowl has that nice bite texture to it. The rice itself is alright but once you add the sauce it makes a different. The garlic nood-rittos burrito wasn't my favorite because it just was too much noodle and heavy to eat. But I love always coming to this place. Next time i want to try the salmon rice bowl.

Such amazing service and happy staff every time I've ordered from here! This is how a restaurant should run. Food is great, fresh, a little salty but for me, I love that ha. 10/10 taste and customer service. Been telling people to try Lacquered ever since my first order! Pro tip: their salads are great, add tenders!

Boo to you nay-sayers!My friend and I ate there tonight.Diana was working ALONE for most of the night.Yet she held true to her goal: Food made fresh, delicious, no compromises.If you want food fast, go eat fast-food.She cooked, answered the phone, operated the cash register, and served seated and to-go customers.What a dynamo!
