Chickenara Orewa — Restaurant in Hibiscus and Bays

Chickenara in Orewa is an absolute gem and easily one of the best spots for Korean fried chicken on the Coast! From the moment I walked in, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the vibe was casual, clean, and inviting. I ordered the Sweet Spicy Snack Box, and it was absolutely amazing. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and coated in the perfect blend of sweet and spicy sauce — full of flavor without being overpowering. Every bite had just the right amount of crunch and heat, and the portion was super generous for the price.

There weren’t any sides in the box, but honestly, the chicken was more than enough to satisfy. It’s clear they focus on doing one thing really well — and they nail it. The quality and consistency were outstanding, and I left already planning my next visit. Chickenara is a must-try for anyone who loves bold, delicious Korean-style fried chicken. Whether you're a local or just passing through Orewa, make sure to stop in. You won’t regret it! Highly...

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this chicken shop absolutely deserves the praise. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming and friendly. The place was clean, well-lit, and had a great vibe.

I ordered the classic fried chicken combo, and wow — the chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned to perfection. You can tell they really care about quality. The chips were hot and golden, and the dipping sauces were spot on (definitely try the spicy mayo!).

What really stood out was the service. The staff were quick, polite, and made sure everything was just right. Even when it got busy, they kept things running smoothly without cutting corners.

Whether you’re after a quick bite or a full meal, this place hits the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back —...
