| - Another taiwanese fried chicken place downtown, just a block away from Hot Star.
Prices and presentation are similar, but Monga offers some different types of items like Bao's.
Lines get long, and as a result, the wait-time for your order also gets long.
There were about 15 orders ahead of us and ended up waiting 25 minutes before our order was ready.
If you get it to go, they'll give you a cute box. Otherwise, you'll just get a plate. Or perhaps everyone gets a box, but I think it would make more sense for it to be strictly a take-out box.
Ordered the The King, which comes with salt and pepper.
The chicken is thick. The breading is thin and crispy. It can get a bit dry because of how thick it is. I feel that if they just smashed it a bit thinner it might be better in this case like how Hot Star does it? Hot Star's chicken is quite thin compared to this place. I feel like I'm getting more chicken here as a result, but that's only because each bite comes with more chicken.
Not bad. $10 gets you a piece of chicken from both places. However, fried chicken is fried chicken, and they're competing with korean fried chicken and places like popeyes or KFC (also, all along the same general area), which makes it difficult because you're probably getting more chicken from its competitors for what you're paying for.
