Cluck2Go — Restaurant in Arcadia

Good news for the people who love Hainanese chicken and garlic rice, the famous Pasadena Cluck2go just opened a to go only branch in Arcadia on Duarte next to Carl’s Junior. This location is for take out only. Unlike the Pasadena location, there is no dine-in here.

The regular and fried versions of the Hainanese chickens are available here too. The service is much faster here. They even made up an ordering card to facilitate the process. Just follow the steps and place the order. The food is ready in a few minutes.

The chicken is still tender and tasty. I love the garlic and ginger sauce. But they don’t have the sweet soy to go with the garlic rice. I liked the traditional Hainanese chicken better than the fried one as the latter tends to be a bit dry. Prices are still very reasonable.

Parking is limited but adequate for just to pick up...

February 2022 - Takeout order. We called in ahead of time, so wait wasn't bad! Our family usually goes to the Pasadena location but was excited to hear another location was opening up closer to home!

Food/Pricing: Fried Hainan Chicken Rice - $12.25 - Crispy and good!

Combo A which includes half chicken, spicy cucumber salad, fried peanuts, chicken soup (medium), chicken rice (2) - $25.45 - Not bad for the price. However, as someone who looks forward to the numbing spicy of the cucumber salad, it just tasted like cucumber soaked in water .

Overall, the chicken was good but not as tasty as Pasadena. As this location is much closer, we will definitely give it another try in...

We try to go for chicken rice when we’re visiting SoCal and this hit the spot! It took a while to get there and warning: there’s no washroom and only two tables on site so plan ahead. This place is teeny and out of the way but the chicken and deep fried buns were soooo good, better than some of the other locations. The decor is nothing to write home about but I gave it 5 stars because the counter staff were so friendly, earnest, kind and really welcoming. They kept a tab open for us while we were waiting for our friends to join us which was a nice surprise. I think they just took joy in watching us...
