Roll & Chicken — Restaurant in Nanaimo

We got off the ferry late at night as there was some delays. Starving, tired, and honestly kind of desperate. Being unfamiliar with Nanaimo, we weren’t even sure if we could find any real food at midnight.

While still on the ferry, I was frantically scrolling through Uber Eats and stumbled upon Roll & Chicken. We ordered two fried chicken sets, each with fries and a drink.

And wow…the portions were insane. Like, enough-to-feed-an-elephant level generous. But here’s the best part: they didn’t sacrifice quality for quantity.

The chicken was perfectly fried and pretty juicy, and the sauce? Just the right amount - flavorful, but not drowning the whole thing. Fries were crisp, seasoned well, and could easily feed a family of six.

For a late-night bite, this place seriously delivered. Great value too. $50 for that kind of quality and portion at late night? No complaints.

Though next time, we’re definitely sharing one set between the two of us. lol We had a good portion of leftovers to feed ourselves in the...

I am disappointed to give this amazing place 2 stars. I have tried to go in multiple times when it has been stated on their hours to be open and they were closed. For example yesterday I was going to go in however when arriving the restaurant was closed. It would be more professional if you had the correct hours posted.

On top of all this when I do find them open, certain male staff have been dismissive and interruptive during my experience there and all around seems like an...

After seeing all the hype online about the new japanes style fried chicken I thought I would give Roll and Chicken a try . I was extremely disappointed,I ordered a poke bowl and the sweet soy five piece chicken. The poke bowl wasn't bad but some of my toppings were not fresh, the radish was dry and flaccid from being left uncovered as well as the cabbage. The fried chicken was probably the worst out of the two. the chicken tasted like it had been cooked in old deep fryer oil.i also waited 35minutes for my takeout with only 2 tables seated inside the restaurant, and at 35.62 for one person the price point is far off the mark. If I had to put a dollar sign on what I ate today I would say that product was no more than $10. I will try rolling chicken again and update my review at that...
