About Zankou
Zankou Chicken was one of the first to ever step foot into the "fast-casual" scene in Los Angeles in 1984. Since then, the company has earned a strong reputation and following, serving its extremely delicious, high-quality meals quickly at a fair price. We have eight locations, with a ninth opening in Valencia in December 2017, and more coming soon!
