Bolo - Los Angeles County

Used to be one of my absolute favorites. Now they are rarely ever open and when they are, there's no sandwiches, only dry and terrible tenders. The cook that used to work there seems to be long gone. But don't worry, you're unlikely to actually eat here they're pretty much closed every day. I miss old Bolo

Went there for lunch twice over 2 weeks around 1:30, closed both times. I don't think there in business anymore.

What sets BOLO's chicken sandwich apart from its competitors is that the restaurant uses bolo bao buns. I ordered the spicy chicken sando, which comes with a gigantic juicy fried Jidori chicken breast, spicy garlicky aioli, homemade chili spice dust, hot garlic oil, and a zesty Cantonese slaw sandwiched between two hot, butter-toasted bolo buns. The chicken was so crunchy, moist, and flavorful. It nicely balanced out the sweet bolo bun, which I found to be sweeter than expected. I loved the crunch and freshness from the slaw, and the spices added a pinch of heat to every bite. However, I didn't like that the bun kept falling apart as I ate. It was a little messy to eat but definitely worth trying!

Customer service was fine, just had a problem with the food. They were out of bolo bread but didn't let us know in advance. So, got a $12 bolo chicken sandwich at Bolo without the bolo bread. I just got a dry wheat bun instead, so it was a bit disappointing. Again, service was good and they apologized after I asked about it, just wish I was told they were out of the bolo bread before I bought it.

These fries were NOT worth $5.50. Bland garlic fries and no garlic to be seen or tasted : would not recommend...
