Cha Kung Fong & X.F Fried Chicken ChinaTown — Restaurant in Boston

Fried chicken, fries, and milk tea is my dream meal, and I had never visited Cha Kung Fong before but decided to on a whim. My partner ordered curry popcorn chicken and I ordered the seaweed popcorn chicken meal with an original milk tea.

The chicken: SO good. Marinated, breaded, and so tender and moist. Unlike fast food, there is no mystery in this fried chicken. Just good old fashioned skill, care, and love in the prep and cooking. The curry popcorn chicken was really good. I like the seaweed, but I'm leaning toward the curry next time.

The fries: Nothing beats plain fries, and I'm 99% sure these are actually fresh. No weird dryness or pockets of air. Lightly salted. Can't go wrong.

The milk tea: Good stuff! It doesn't have as strong of a tea taste as other places, but I absolutely plan to get it again in my combo. I think I'll try the oolong milk tea next time.

The staff: My partner actually made the order but she came out saying that they were incredibly nice.

In conclusion: This is my new lunch joint every time I'm in the area. I highly recommend the combo. It's affordable, it's A LOT of food, and you truly will not...

Tried three times, and every time, I had to repeat my order for the squid and brown sugar milk tea, and also try new stuff.

The brown sugar milk tea is always so plain. Their brown sugar is purely decorative, not for flavor. The photo was taken after I asked them to add brown sugar two more times, and still tasteless, like regular milk tea with less sugar.

The giant squid is tasteless but bitter—I always have to ask for more cumin or seasoning—and the meat tastes bitter every single time. I won’t be coming back to try again. I always want to give more chances before leave review, but they are consistently bad.

Also, I tried something new this time: lychee sparkling water. It had ZERO sparkle because the staff put it under the soda machine for like a second. I had to ask them to do it properly. It tastes better with the right amount of sparkling, but it’s just alright—not even close to good. Don’t waste your money at least on the items mentioned above, and be brave and ask for them to make it right!

Giving two stars because the staff’s attitude was pretty good, she was polite...

Excellent customer service!!!! My parents always said if hubby and I ever go broke, it’s due to our addiction to bubble tea and eating out. Hubby went by out of curiosity once, and couldn’t stop raving about how good it’s. He said this red dragon fruit tea is the best he ever had in his life and we are approaching our 40s. We came in the snow today all the way from Braintree. We normally hit up Vivi and PTea in Quincy but I felt the need to come and try this. Hubby ordered me a jasmine cheese foam tea 50 percent sugar, but somehow it came super bitter. We brought it back and asked to put more sugar in. They immediately made me another one with 100 sugar, and asked me to try it and let them know. They can make it for me again or I can order something else. The customer service was EXCELLENT! We go to PTea a lot for their jasmine tea and my husband always said why the cashier looks like we owed them money. We will definitely be back to Cha Kung Fong, for their customer service and great price. What a hidden gem! Price...
