  “The food is prepared fresh and hot, generous portions and seasoning. Enjoyed everything I ordered (popcorn chicken, octopus and shrimp) Staff here are also friendly and efficient! Definitely worth trying out Ji Chicken if you’re in Bristol 🫶”

  “A brilliant find for halal chicken in Bristol After arriving in Bristol, we spent quite a while looking for a good halal restaurant and, honestly, struggled to find one nearby. Then, while walking around, we came across JI The Chicken Shop and noticed the halal sign outside. I was pleasantly surprised, although I still went inside and double-checked with the staff before ordering. We went for two meal deals: a Chicken Breast Meal Deal (£12.50) and a Boneless Chicken Thigh Meal Deal (£12). Both came with fries and a soft drink. The portions were more than sufficient, particularly for a meal deal at these prices, and everything was fresh, tasty and nicely prepared. The chicken was enjoyable, the fries were good, and overall the meals offered very decent value for money. What I particularly appreciated was finding a halal option without having to compromise on the overall quality or choice of meal. For anyone visiting Bristol and looking for halal food, I would definitely recommend giving this place a try. It is also a good option for anyone who simply enjoys a decent chicken meal, regardless of whether they specifically need halal food. Overall, a very pleasant find during our visit to Bristol. Good portions, reasonable prices and tasty food. I would happily come back again.”

  “The chicken was really nice and filling but the caramel milk tea is another story. There’s no taste of caramel and there’s a bitter taste to it making it slightly unpleasant but still drinkable”

  “This is the best fried chicken I've ever had here, with just the right seasoning and frying. Plum is my favorite and the price is also quite good”

  “consistently good fried chicken. don't really feel like visiting often however since its constantly packed (really popular!) and its only a small store so there's often a 20min+ wait. its on the pricy side as well, worth it however”

  “Been consistently getting popcorn chicken & boneless chicken thighs to take away and cooking wise so far it's the most consistent crispy fried chicken we have had in Bristol. The seasoning vary between each trip sometimes the chili option is really spicy sometimes does not, so something to keep in mind. Service was always ok but tonight was exceptional as we got to swap the chips to sweet potatoes, and cow's milk with oat milk free of charge, a nice courtesy! If you were visiting for the first time, just order in, customise it and waiting inside will be your best bet. We tried to order through Uber once and when we picked it up it was a mix of warm & cold popcorn chicken in one bag even though we're only 5-10 mins past the pick up time. We come back almost immediately and it got replaced so all good but worth bearing in mind when ordering online.”

  “I tried Ji Chicken Shop recently and thought I would share my experience. The place is halal which is always good to know. I ordered their famous Volcano Chicken which is a large chicken breast stuffed with cheese and covered in batter. The chicken itself was really nice and I loved the cheese in the middle. It was gooey and full of flavour. The only issue was the batter. It was far too oily and I had to peel it off because it was making me feel sick. Without the batter the chicken was spot on. Juicy, tasty and the melted cheese worked perfectly. The plum chips were a real highlight. They were sweet with a tangy edge and had a nice balance that made them stand out from the usual side of fries. They cut through the heaviness of the chicken really well and added something different to the meal. I also tried the crispy king prawns. The prawns themselves were cooked well and tasted fresh. The batter unfortunately had the same issue as the chicken. It was too greasy so I ended up peeling it off. Once I did the prawns were actually really good. Overall the flavours at Ji Chicken Shop are impressive. The cheesy chicken and plum chips are definitely worth trying. The only let down was the heavy batter. If they can make that lighter and less oily this place would be on another level.”

  “I had a terrible experience at Ji Chicken in Bristol. The chicken and hot wings were severely undercooked, which is both unsafe and unacceptable. Moreover, the food was overly salty, making it very unpleasant to eat. I will not be returning and strongly advise others to avoid this place. (Disgusting) Asking me to "Give Popson Chicken a try" can understand the level of your customer service" It's essential to recognize and correct errors to prevent them from recurring, no matter how many reviews are received."”

  “This shop use to be Coco's Bubble tea. It has now been replaced with a Taiwanese fried chicken street food shop and it is DIVINE! Cute logo and friendly staff. I'm not normally a big fan of deep fried food but the choices were amazing and bursting with flavour. Wait time and prices reasonable for the amount of food and quality that you get. You can choose from various flavours to top off your fried goods. We chose the Cheesy Volcano Chicken, King Prawns and Lotus Root Chips. Cheesy Volcano Chicken was a hearty portion, 2 thick slabs of chicken oozing with piping hot melted cheese and breaded. Each bite was full of flavour and as we chose a spicy option there was a nice after heat, perfect for this cold weather. The Fried King Prawn was big, juicy and flavourful with Thai Style flavour. The only reason I haven't given it 5 stars is because I would have liked more lotus root in the lotus root chips! It was a great flavour but I felt like I was just eating super tasty batter, I bit into the chip and the lotus was extremely thin. They also sell bubble tea so we will be back to try that and the other options and I will update this review when we have.”
