Fat Daddy Fried Chicken — Restaurant in West Covina

Delicious Taiwanese fried chicken. Was recommended by someone who really enjoyed them in Taiwan. I think this place is a victim of its location in the Haven City Market. It’s located in the far left corner of the place by the bar so if you don’t enter from the left side, it can be overlooked or by time you see them, you’ll already ordered somewhere else. Staff is friendly and welcoming.

I will say, the wait is a bit long, but the food is fresh. If you plan on ordering from here, I’d recommend ordering here first then walking around, ordering at other places.

I think what we had was delicious. This chicken isn’t too overly battered and had the right amount of crisp. Buttery, milky, juicy and not too greasy . They have spices you can get on the side if you’d like your food a bit spicy, but it definitely doesn’t need it.

The mix fries was decent. Not as crispy as I would have liked. The food is perfect to share.

Would I get it again? Of course, if I’m the mood for...

The meat inside is also juicy and tender but I somehow feel something is lacking and I believe it should be marinated longer as the flavor doesn't stand out. Also, the portion is a bit small compared to our favorite friend chicken Jollibee with the same price point. Not just the meat size but also the PCs count( 12 PCs vs 10 PCs). I would suggest they either at least match with 12 PCs despite the fact that the size of the meat are smaller. Overall, good fried chicken to try out but the value to price needed some...

The food in this food court is a bit overpriced across the board but I think the quality at fat daddy is really good. The seasoning is great, the skin was super crispy and the meat was extremely moist and juicy. It took a while but it was clearly fried very fresh, I burned the heck out of my mouth eating but I couldn’t stop myself, it was worth it. I enjoyed the potato salad but it was a bit sweet so be prepared for that- it does help cut the fat from...
