Compared to some other places I've been in NYC or LA I'd say the chicken is so so. They fry it made to order so there is a little bit of a wait which isn't so bad. The batter/skin is crispy but a bit on the thick side and not the shattering double fried crunch I look for with KFC. That being said the porridge here is tasty and authentic! We came for the chicken but really the winner here was the other dishes. Will definitely be back to try the steamed egg and spicy tofu soup.
