Love Jesse Boy! The cauliflower is my favorite and an amazing vegan option, but my partner who isn’t vegan also loves it. Fries are also a must. Great service and fair pricing. Can’t get any better than that!

Great little spot. I went with my friend before we went to a comedy show and it was a good way to start off the night.
Walking in you are immediately face to face with the menu and the cashier. There isn't any seating inside the establishment, but we asked and the employees allowed us to take a table outside and some stools. It was very nice of them!
I got Fried Cauliflower and Fries. I'm not even vegan, but the cauliflower was a light alternative to typical tenders. Good flavor and portion size. Not overly oily so you don't get sick of it. They also give pickled radishes which are a great pallet cleanser between bites.
Would recommend giving this place a try! I know I'll be back.

Friendly service, decent food. Great flavors, but the chicken tends to be dry. Fries are often soggy and flavorless.

I think it’s great that Jesse Boy provides vegetarian alternatives to the Korean fried chicken craze. As someone who loves meat, fried cauliflower also sounds really delicious. I ordered a plate and it was very flavorful. We got it delivered and it was already soggy, but there was a bit of crunch from the inner layer. It came with pickled radish on the side (not pictured) and the fries. They fries were okay, they were soggy without much flavor. Not sure what that lemon’s doing there, I don’t think the the food needs it, especially since the chicken is already flavored with ponzu.

Jesse Boy is always a treat. They have cauliflower sandwiches and chicken sandwiches for any type of person. Their sandwiches are so crunchy and delicious, with such rich, spicy flavor. I make sure to come here any time I'm in LA.

I don’t know how else to word this, but this chicken is straight-up crave-worthy. When I don’t have it, I MUST have it. It is so freaking good. Try the wings, the fries, the rice, the agua fresca… it is ALL so good.

Down here from Vancouver Canada, came in with 4 friends. What seemed to be the owner was extremely friendly and catering. Very great service from his staff too. Best part was the food was delicious and affordable. Definitely recommend

Great Korean Fried Chicken (Wings or Tenders) or Korean Fried Cauliflower (vegan) for a fair price! It's very simple to order with a couple of steps - I got the Korean Fried Chicken Tenders with Fries. I would recommend you order online as they always make it fresh and make take a bit of time but it is worth it! Staff are very friendly and portions are generous.

I love this place. Moving to Atlanta so I’ve been eating way more because I’ll miss it. If you order ahead, food is quick and doesn’t vary. It’s as good as the last time, every time. Please open in Atlanta

The fried chicken and the fried cauliflower are both delicious. The spicy option is too spicy for me, but I find the regular to be full of flavor and perfect! You can also ask for the spicy sauce on the side and then add a little bit to your food if you desire. It always feels like a family affair there, like you are getting a proper home cooked scrumptious meal. Very friendly service. Delicious salad, too. I like to get the 1/2 rice 1/2 salad option with some pickled ginger on the side. Perfecto!

If you haven’t had it, you have to try it. So GOOD; the Korean fried cauliflower is even better than the chicken

Came here for dinner before a performance. I don’t eat meat so I bought the cauliflower and fries. OMGOODNESS delicious! I wish I could have eaten the whole thing. The employees are really nice. Parking is in a lot. I will be coming back!

Kind understanding staff and amazing food.
Due to communication issues and being a newbie at the location, I ordered chicken options when I really wanted the cauliflower options. After waiting for the order and upon checking that there was a mistake due to our miscommunication, they happily agreed to remake the order, this time with the cauliflower version.
I half expected that I would have to pay again but the staff was so kind, accommodating and understanding. If you guys are reading this, I appreciate you all! And thanks for being amazing.

I'm leaving a negative review at this restaurant with usually great food.
I make a 30 minute commute just to come eat their chicken, which shows how great the food actually is. But I have had multiple issues when I make an order for pickup, whether they getting my order wrong like giving me wings instead of tenders. Or when I picked up my order for 3 tenders and rice, I come to a surprise to see they only put 2 tenders instead of 3. Why it might not seem like a big deal, I expect to get what I pay for regarding my meal, and keep in mind it's a 30 minute drive home for me with the anticipation of eating their delicious tenders with ponzu sauce and white jasmine rice. I tried to contact the store about this issue but they didn't pick up the phone, and it led me to their voicemail which was full, which leads me to believe that they don't answer any feedback. This isn't a knock on the food. It shouldn't be up to me to check my food to make sure everything is okay, but it seems that there might be an additional step in the future if I come back here again.

Disregard photo because I took it half way into eating it! Got the chicken bowl and cauliflower dish.
A unique kick to fried chicken and cauliflower.
Food was overall good. Good portion for the price. Loved the sauce but it was too salty. Pretty filling. The radishes were bad.
Got it delivered on DoorDash! Was sad because the dried food was soggy (due to heat being trapped).
Would try this place again! Unsure about service or cleanliness since mine were delivered.
