  “I rarely share unsatisfied comment but this time I decide to do that. I ate in this chain in Brighton and the food tasted super good, so I decided to buy it again in London. However, the staff here were really so impatient and rude. I was shopping so I needed a plastic bag to put the chicken into my bag. I didn’t know it should be charged, because when I was in this chain in Brighton they gave it to me for free. When I got my food and asked for a plastic bag, the staff got super annoyed and impatient, he blamed me for not telling him that I wanted the plastic bag at the start (the point is that he didn’t even ask me) and refused to give it to me because it costs too little and can’t be paid by card. I was shocked and literally froze there. And then he finally THREW the plastic bag to me and told me to fix it next time. The point is that I won’t come here anymore. Damn, how much would a plastic bag cost? Idk y I spent money to be blamed. I’m even Chinese, the staff were Chinese too, I really don’t understand why they decided to be so mean to their people😵‍💫”

  “Not very busy, not overpriced, friendly, welcoming, fast preperation so less waiting but one order made at a time, so if someone ordered before you, you wait for their order to be handed so your order can be taken. Food is delicious and well cooked, just make sure you specify what flavours you want when ordering.”

  “Very disappointing, especially for a chain restaurant. I’ve had the same chicken gizzard dish at other branches of the same chain, and the portion sizes were noticeably different. Unfortunately, the portion I received at this location was extremely small compared with what I’ve had elsewhere. Another guest at our table also ordered the same chicken gizzard, but the portion I was given was ridiculously small. I’m not complaining about sharing — the issue is simply how little I actually received. For a chain restaurant, you would expect some consistency between branches. Paying the same price for such a noticeably smaller portion is honestly frustrating. Definitely not the standard I’ve experienced at other branches.”

  “The man who works there, while he is nice, he never ever puts enough seasoning on the chicken breasts. Ive ordered multiple times, and most of them, it tastes like there is no seasoning at all. Plus, there have been times i have asked for an extra of certain seasonings, but he will pretend like it was never said, and loads it up with a bunch of Chilli instead, so much so that the chicken is virtually inedible. My issues are only with the seasonings though, the chicken itself I have no issues with.”

  “THE PLUM SWEET POTATO FRY IS SO GOOD! Slightly on the pricier side, but with the halal certification, totally understandable.”

  “Super lovely staff—she was working alone but handled everything quickly and professionally! The chicken breast was crispy and juicy, and the fries were perfectly crunchy. I got the meal deal with cheese flavour—so tasty and great value. Totally recommend this Taiwanese chicken spot!”

  “Fantastic crispy fried chicken, well seasoned and bursting with flavour. The fried lotus root chips are unique and very tasty. Amazed to see chicken gizzards here on the menu, if you can get past the chewy texture they are worth trying. Can get very busy in here, order inside & stand outside waiting & trying to hear your number being called. Definitely my favourite fried chicken, it's so crispy 😋”

  “Had take out from here. I got the £10 meal deal - salt and pepper chicken strips, fries, and a can of juice. All tasty, chicken nicely seasoned and fried, really nicely done, not greasy. Fries were nicely seasoned and crispy, they got a little dry after a while, take the little tub of ketchup or mayonnaise when offered. Big portions, well worth the money. Staff very friendly.”

  “It's been almost 2 days since I ordered from here, and I can still imagine exactly how the chicken tasted. I was visiting London for a gig and was feeling peckish while at my hotel, so I decided to peruse places to order from. This place came up. I've always wanted a place with highly customisable fast food options, so this was perfect for me. I ordered the fried chicken thigh with chilli and garlic seasoning and fries with curry seasoning, with a bit of taro milk boba tea on the side. The chicken thigh was bigger than my hand. Not even kidding, it was GIGANTIC (the piece in the pictures is actually a smaller piece from the bag). And yes, it looks undercooked, but the restaurant explain that their chicken looks pink because of the marinade they use (and also probably because it's cooked to perfection). With a couple of bites, it was painful to speak with how spicy the chilli seasoning was - but it was so good. I can only imagine what the numbing chilli and special spicy flavours are like. The fries were still crispy, even though it took about half an hour for them to be delivered. The curry flavouring was also spicy, but not as much as the chilli, so it made for a perfect side to the chicken. Something I find fun about Ji's is that they give you skewers instead of other utensils to eat with. It's so fun skewering a bunch of fries and chowing down. Don't know if the chicken would stay on the skewer though, as it's so HUGE. The taro tea had a delicious caramelised flavour to it. It definitely helped keep the spice levels down as well. I will absolutely attempt to eat from here again for future London visits. So much flavour!”

  “This is from Saudi Eats in London, with 60k+ followers across social platforms. Instagram & Tiktok: saudieats.ksa We were delighted by the fully halal Taiwanese fried chicken breast—easily the best we’ve ever had. The restaurant offers an extensive selection of deep-fried chicken, each dish remarkably crispy and served in generous portions.🤤 We also highly recommend their boba tea range, which features a wide variety of delicious flavors to choose from.🧋”
