The ppl that own this place are really friendly. Lemme start off by saying I gave Home of Hot Taste 5 stars. After coming to this place I've gotta give 5 stars as well but not without some interesting factors to point out. A whole chicken is slightly bigger here than at Home of Hot Taste (whole chicken can definitely feed 2 ppl). That being said, it's also $7 more expensive, which is quite a lot (whole chicken here is $33, at Home of Hot Taste it's $26). They're both super delicious; the skin slightly more crispy at Mr ChiMaek. So I'm a bit torn on if the price to chicken trade-off is worth it. That being said, I will definitely return to try the rice powder flavor and some of the boneless chicken flavors (carbonara). I'll also try some of the side dishes (rice and fries mmmmm) on my next visit.
My verdict is that if you have a large group of ppl it's more worth it to come here. I know the new minimum wage hike is kinda ridiculous but at the same time, I can't really justify making this my go-to KFC spot for a $7, $8 price increase/per chicken. Really good chicken though, hence the awesome rating.
Tons of anime posters on the walls and the washrooms are really pretty since it matters to some ppl haha. Beer and chicken though. Can you really go wrong?
