Bleu Bird LA Inc — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Disappointed & Honestly a Bit Grossed Out

My boyfriend and I ordered the 3-piece combo (roll was missing) with garlic noodles, gumbo greens, an original chicken sandwich with fries, and a sweet potato biscuit; just trying to support a local Black-owned business and our community.

Unfortunately… a big mistake was made.

The food was extremely mid. Two out of three pieces of chicken were barely okay, but the wing was completely spoiled; it smelled like rotten meat before I could even take a bite. I originally asked for all thighs, but was told no with an eye roll. I let it slide, thinking maybe the food would make up for the attitude… it didn’t.

The garlic noodles were dry, the sweet potato biscuit tasted like orange chalk (dry and butterless), and the chicken sandwich was forgettable at best. The gumbo greens were the one highlight—good flavor, just a little too salty, and the fries were solid. But that’s about it.

Now let’s talk about the customer service, or lack thereof. Not a hello, not a smile, not even basic acknowledgment. The large, light-skinned guy with freckles (who I assume is security but was also serving food) was incredibly rude; when I asked if my food was ready, he just stared at me and rolled his eyes. The girl at the front acted like customers were an inconvenience, and even the cook seemed irritated to be there.

Note to the “chef”: Please check your chicken—it’s spoiled. Seriously.

I will never be back. I honestly wish Legends Soul Food was still there, and that place was just ok. If this spot is connected to Court Café, management really needs to step in and fix these issues. It’s sad to see another Black-owned restaurant struggling, not because of the food concept, but because of poor quality and zero professionalism.

Came here today. Um... it was just okay. The hype on social media is doing its job... so im happy for them on that. I'm going to talk about the things I liked first. The spot itself was very clean. Staff was nice & helpful. Its a NO CASH accepted spot... SUPER SMART for the area. Love that. I liked the "gumbo greens." They were greens with chicken sausage in a nice broth. Very tasty & original. I also liked the sweet potato biscuit. Very soft, and nice flavor. Also original 👍🏾. Where they lost me was the Mac & Cheese. My first time EVER only having a couple bites and not finishing it. It tasted like chicken bullion cubes. So did the chicken. No other flavor. FULL STOP✋🏾 That's a VERY VERY lazy (and cheap) way to season food. It also makes everything EXTREMELY salty. I cook at home and come from a long line of chicken hawks and macaroni mongrels. This is a big no. Season the food right... don't use bullion cubes. This spot isn't cheap. There wasn't a big line today but we got there early. By noon? Cars were stacking. I'm going to be honest if I waited in line for an hour and the food tasted like this i would've been PISSSSSED. I will say though back to compliment.. the chicken had a nice crunch and i could tell it was cooked in fresh oil. But Y'all gotta stop with the CB cubes bruh. Half the hood got high blood pressure... y'all are going to send someone to emergency fr with the sodium content. I drove REALLY FAR (over an hour) to try this spot, which i wouldn't have minded if it was a hit. Unfortunately for me? It's a...

Drove from Torrance to check out the new spot and Support local BLACC Owned businesses in my city I ordered 60 dollars worth of food and to get home and realize they didn’t have my order right, so I drove back from Torrance walked in there with a receipt and let them know that it wasn’t right. I was looked at upside down from the BOY, sitting at the front counter with braids into a ponytail to tell me to chec my food before I leave, first off, I don’t need to checc my food before I leave if the order was placed right pack it right periodt…… not checc the bag chec the receipt order and get it right the first time……then as I commence to get the items that were replaced, he’s talking to the customers inside there, saying That’s why I tell people to chec their orders before they leave, you only their calling our names Sr , then the lady you tell that my order wasn’t right sit there looks at me crazy and go grabs the item very unprofessional and didn’t say a word…. That’s why we as a whole can never win. Say my bad say My apologies. Say sumthn if I could’ve returned the whole meal I would have. Now I gotta drive back to Torrance and eat a cold reheated meal with those small tiny fries smh…. while I’m sitting up telling people about your businesses, giving them the name and the address to get done like this never again it’s always your own people……. I called 100 times couldn’t get nobody to answer the phone. But it’s all good first time and last...
