Nicole and I were scootering around yesterday (enjoying the 80 degree March weather) and even though our budget for eating out has already been blown this week we decided to stop and get a bite. We were initially scootering around the touristy part of Hollywood Blvd but decided it would be much too expensive to eat there so we headed on down to Sunset and then east a few miles. Eventually we came to a Los Angeles institution known as Zankou Chicken on the corner of Sunset and Normandie and figured it was probably a good place to eat inexpensively.
Turns out we were right and for under $20 we were stuffed with Armenian grease and had food to take home. The food is great but the service is terrible. It's one of those joints where they act like you're wasting their time with your order. They take your order at the register where we were greeted with a "Yes please?" and then told that our order (and apparently no one elses) would take 15 minutes. Our order also included a beverage which apparently comes with the food when they call your order number and not before. When Nicole asked for the drink she was greeted with a blank stare by the young girl behind the counter who didn't say anything for a few moments and then asked for our order number (which I had taken to the table).
Anyway, to sum it all up: Zankou Chicken, good food, great price but prepare for the abuse.
