LA’s best fried chicken sandwich might really be hiding inside a ghost kitchen in West Adams. @hokkaido.fried.chicken is bringing Hokkaido-style zangi to Los Angeles with a sandwich that’s wildly crunchy, ridiculously juicy, and stacked with miso vinaigrette slaw, pickled cucumbers, and chili truffle shoyu sauce on a buttery brioche bun. Chef Ronuk Patel spent years snowboarding through Japan’s northernmost island before teaming up with chef Gory to turn a family zangi recipe into one of the craziest chicken sandwiches in the city. And you can taste that influence immediately. The crust is craggy, crunchy, and aggressively crispy while the chicken underneath somehow stays insanely juicy. Every bite has that perfect balance of salty, savory, sweet, tangy, and a little heat creeping in from the sauce. The fries deserve their own spotlight too. Golden crispy fries dusted with furikake that somehow disappear faster than the sandwich itself. They also make their own ranch dressing perfect for dipping, dunking, drizzling and pouring. What makes this place even crazier is the fact that it’s operating out of a lowkey ghost kitchen setup on West Washington Blvd. No giant flashy storefront. No overhyped gimmicks. Just a seriously dialed-in fried chicken sandwich that’s built like the chefs are trying to prove a point. LA has no shortage of fried chicken sandwiches, but this one actually feels different. Japanese influence, insane texture, quality ingredients, and the kind of crunch you can hear through the phone speaker. Hidden ghost kitchen. Hokkaido flavors. One seriously dangerous fried chicken sandwich. Only available for pickup and delivery. Open 12pm - 9pm. Closed on Mondays and Thursdays. 📍1864 W Washington Blvd, LA CA 90007

Words can’t describe this last week, have felt every emotion to the fullest, I’ve always wanted to open a restaurant/bar since I was a kid, and now that dream has become a reality. The amount we as a team have accomplished honestly blows me away, being that none of us have ever done this before. Much love to all the local community for showing us so much love!! And much love and respect to everyone on the team! Because we couldn’t have done it without them!! This is just the beginning and we are just getting started. About to push this local food scene to the next level!!! 🍜🍺❤️

Every year truly does feel shorter and shorter… one thing I can always count on though is a trip around the world to keep my spirit flowing. Much love to all my friends that always make me feel at home as soon as I touch down! These trips wouldn’t be the same.. From ramen hunting in the backcountry of susukino to traveling up and down Thailand with family and friends, really looking forward for 2024. Till next time…

Big pig.. loving farm life!
