The ‘chicken’ meat and flesh is of bad quality—there is something odd about their anatomy in relation to cuts from other chicken places. I suspect these cuts were even more unintended for human consumption.
This is exacerbated by the chicken just never being cooked very well throughout. They seem to just lace raw chicken cuts directly in soy-based coating and deep-fry them without any sort of prior seasoning or marinate of the actual meat underneath.
This results in an admittedly very tasty and crispy outer coating but a bland, lukewarm almost boiled consistency to the chicken flesh that the coating hides which is full of stringy translucent veins all wrapped around the stubborn toughness of the meat. It doesn’t at all fall off the bone so to speak.
The Soy Garlic or Liquorice flavoured exotic coatings they fry this chicken in is clearly its only USP and it must be for this reason that the place is swarming with groups of East Asian students. However, I do marvel as to whether they are the least bit bothered by the quality of the underlying chicken itself.
The gizzards have been more palatable for me by adopting a blind ‘ignorance is bliss’ ravenousness. I believe the only difference here is that they have removed the bones from the subpar chicken and glued it together somehow. Again, since that’s then all conveniently wrapped in a crispy flavourful coating, I reckon both the assumption and reliance here is that consumers won’t care or be able to deduce its quality.
The fries are very nice though, very similar to McDonalds but maybe more bendy. The price is not great with 6 wings at £7.99 and fries at £3. But the worst thing about the price is that chicken wing flats and drum ratios are often lopsided and inconsistent. My last bunch had 5 drums and 1 wing, a big no-no for me.
It's not even worth discussing their customer service since it...
Read moreThe food was okay but there are definitely better chicken shops in London with MUCH better service. The person who was serving us was super rude and irritated. He was okay while serving me but when he was serving my girl friend (she was thinking for a bit longer because it was her first time) he kept rushing her in a rude manner, then when she finally picked, he kept repeating "you're done? you're done?!" then when she wanted to add prawns he put them in the computer and when she continued looking at the menu to choose a drink he removed the prawns from the order and said " i guess you're not getting prawns"- again in an even more aggresive manner, as we are two young girls we got scared and we just agreed, so she ended up with just three pieces of chicken, no drink. If i hadn't payed already, we would have definitely left because his behavior was absolutely unacceptable ! We were excited to try the food but after this horrible experience our appetites were completely gone. Sad to see that this company which advertises itself as SO friendly and nice to everyone, hires someone who TOTALLY lacks decency and empathy! The worst way to spend money and time. This is not the first time someone complained about the service, so please do something about it because youre constantly loosing customers due to a guy who hates his job. Disappointing. Will definitely tell everyone I know...
