Decent fried chicken but not sure it’s worth the hype, I was waiting around half an hour for food and it wasn’t even that busy really, I wouldn’t be in a massive hurry to return next time we’re visiting London

The popcorn chicken was very tasty. With a selection of dust seasoning you can tailor to your wants. Really good. We also had a bubble tea which was very nice.

I tried the volcano cheese chicken breast with seaweed seasoning, and it was nothing short of amazing. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and tender on the inside with a crispy skin on the outside. The cheese sauce was rich and flavorful, and the seaweed seasoning added a very nice flavor to it.I also tried the popcorn chicken, which was also very good. The chicken was bite-sized and perfectly crispy, and the seasoning was delicious.Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Good Friend Chicken. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great chicken meal.Here are some of the things that make Good Friend Chicken so special:* The chicken is always fresh and high-quality.* The chicken is cooked perfectly, with a crispy skin and juicy, tender meat.* The seasonings are unique and delicious.* The service is friendly and welcoming.* The prices are reasonable.If you're looking for the best chicken in Chinatown, Good Friend Chicken is the place to go. I highly recommend the volcano cheese chicken breast with seaweed seasoning, but everything on the menu is delicious.

We got the popcorn fried chicken to share as it is a large bag for £7! There are seasonings available and she recommended chilli and garlic which was really nice! There were ques as it is popular but worth the wait and quick serviced, didn't wait long at all and worth the wait!

The place does not offer any dine in, you can take your food and eat outside the store standing, it took nearly 30 mins for my order to get ready. They have a wide range of seasonings like wasabi, chilli, plum, lime, garlic, tomato, etc. we can choose upto 3 toppings on each dish.I tried the crab meat sticks, they dont have the texture of crab meat and are soggy. I did not enjoy the crab much.The fried chicken skin is good enough and amazingly crispy, the crispy coating dominated the skin taste though.The chicken breast and popcorn meal were amazing, the portion was good size. Two people can snack on the breast and popcorn meal.

Excellent fried chicken to take away. Prices are fair - 7£ gets you a great bag of popcorn chicken. The food itself is delicious, and they have lots of options to season the chicken that you get to choose. Service is as fast and they can make it, the kitchen is small and the are working non stop, but they are very popular so you will probably wait a bit, but not too much. We will definitely be back.

I’ve come here many times before and usually I love the food. However, waiting time has become far too long (I had to wait over 30mins) and when I received the boneless chicken thigh, it was all pink inside and undercooked. I could barely bite through it. When I went back and showed them what it looked like, they told me that’s how it’s supposed to be since it’s a thigh and didn’t offer any solution. It felt like such a waste of money since I didn’t even get to eat it. Won’t be coming back here since it’s not the first time this has happened to me, however last time I shrugged it off as a one-off mistake. Would have preferred a refund or a new one.

My favourite deep fried chicken place! So glad they are still there after the pandemic. Delicious variety of food and bubble tea too. Bought deep fried chicken skins, breast meat and bubble teas for me and my son. Best snacks ever. Highly recommended to try them out ??
Not particularly blown away. There’s always a pretty big queue so I thought the fried chicken would be spectacular.Can’t say I enjoyed the seasoning, it felt over seasoned and almost like a Chinese soup cheap type of seasoning.

Tastiest fried lotus root and tofu I’ve ever had. You get ti pick the spices/flavor toppings you want to add to your fried stuff. Fried chicken was ready in mere minutes but the veg stuff took over 10-15 minutes to be ready. Glad we tried this place in Chinatown, loved it.

Exceptional chicken. Very quick too, given the queue! Girlfriend and I had the popcorn chicken with chilli and garlic seasoning which was 10/10.

Ji Chicken (good friend)in Chinatown London is an absolute gem for Taiwanese street food lovers. Despite the busy scene, the 20-minute wait was worth every second. The popcorn chicken and cheesy chicken were out of this world, packed with authentic flavors that transported me to Taiwan's bustling night markets. The bubble tea was the perfect finishing touch, brimming with that signature Taiwanese taste. The energetic atmosphere, friendly staff, and exceptional food make Ji Chicken a must-visit spot. If you're in Chinatown, don't miss the chance to indulge in this delightful experience that captures the essence of Taiwanese street food!

You will find a line outside this place, that is how crowded it is. But the line to order goes quiet quick. Waiting for the food can take forever though.The menu is simple and the food is good - the chicken is crunchy on the outside but juicy on the inside. You will find a great selection of seasoning to go with your fried good.
