Customer Review Summary
Reviewers focus on the chicken, and opinions split sharply. Wings draw the most specific complaints: one diner received 24 wings that were almost all burnt, and another found three of ten pieces in a Wicked Variety Bucket were tiny wings, with far fewer chips than the first order of the same bucket. Close behind, a hot wings and zinger burger lunch was called dry, and a request to change it was refused rudely. Others describe a coating that tasted like supermarket chicken and a poor gravy. Several say the branch is always short staffed, with slow preparation and orders not ready. A small unit packed with delivery riders and walk-in customers is described as feeling more like a market than a restaurant. On the positive side, one reviewer found the chicken freshly made and tasty, another called the delivery service good, and a front of house worker was praised as friendly and hard working. One reviewer gave credit to the food and the hardworking team while saying the cramped, chaotic store needs urgent attention.

“Very disappointing experience at KFC Old Street. We ordered two portions of 12 wings (24 wings total), which were packed together in one bucket, and almost all of them were burnt. * MANOJ* was serving us, and from what I observed, there were clearly two batches—burnt wings on top and normal-looking wings underneath. I watched him take several from the burnt batch and only one or so from the better batch repeatedly before giving us our order. It appeared intentional because the difference between the two batches was obvious. I have photos showing exactly what we received. Really unacceptable quality and service.”

“I want to highlight the top service the female worker has provided today. She was very friendly and attentive and a hard worker running the front of house. This was during my visit at 6pm on 14/06/2026. Kudos to this particular worker and she knows who she is!”

“I had chance to go there and try food. The food had good taste and the level of service was ok. The chicken meal which I order was ready within 10 minutes and it was clearly seen that it was freshly made. Will go there again soon.”

“They are always so short staffed, no matter the time of day. The food takes ages to prepare and when you receive, it you're guaranteed to be disappointed. Avoid avoid avoid.”
