I frequent the Market Crossing location and tonight I inadvertently ordered to this location on the app. Boy was I disappointed after having eaten at the Market Crossing location multiple times. I purchased the combo and received less chicken than I normally do and chicken was subpar in comparison. Not very light and flaky like I expected. Will definitely not return to this location ever again.

I was hungry and I was surprised that Chicko Chicken had a location at the New Westminster skytrain station which is accessible. It’s casual place for take out and eat in for families with kids. I had the half cheese snow and half soy garlic which is a great combination. The portions are right and the amount of pieces given, tastefuly delicious! Total recommend eating here!

I been coming here about 2 years. Always get the Chicko meal with the spicy sweet sauce. Friendly Staff. Not really a sit down restaurant, no service on tables, that’s why 1 star. For $15.00 really happy with it, right on price point. Have ordered other things on menu, portions and taste are really well done.

If you don't like sweet food, go away from this shop. Everything is so sweet. Firstly, I brought half and half of cheese and buldak flavor. Even the cheese flavor, It is still a little bit sweet, and buldak flavor is supper sweet but not spicy at all. Then, I tried a second chance with soygarlic and Heak Buldak. Both make me disappointed. It's all still sweet, even soy garlic flavor, which is supposed to be salty more than sweet. Heak buldak also super sweet more than spicy. All flavors like fried chicken coated with caramel. I'm not sure if I will be back to try something else. Ps. Last time, I ordered sauce on the side, but they already mixed the sauce for me. I didn't get it on the side.

Chicko Chicken is the korean fried chicken I trust! You can't go wrong with it, and this location tastes great Waiting time takes quite a bit so you should call in to order before you get there

We got the half and half for lunch with a side of fries. The yangyeom chicken was delicious. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Would highly recommend. The soy garlic chicken was nothing special in terms of taste. The shake shake fries is good, but not the regular fries. Seating is available and it’s right at the skytrain station at New West.

One of the best chicko chicken outlet .... the chicken was cooked abosulte perfect it was juicy inside and crispy outside and the sauce was tossed well all around the chicken ... other location should follow the same while tossing the sauce

I love this place their Korean Chicken are sooo good. Today I ordered the Soy Chicken (I always order this one) and Yangyeom (First time to order this one) and the Yangyeom is really good. I usually order the Buldak and Haek Buldak which are both spicy so if you’re into spicy foods then this is your choice.

2024 edit: Ok went back for their regular boneless chicken. Its not that dry. Soy sauce is not as sweet. 2022 Original review: I went to another chicko before and their original boneless chicken was so dry. Soy sauce one was ok. This time, I ordered bone in original chicken at this place. The drumstick was absolutely amazing and juicy, but they use every small parts of the chicken so the rest of the pieces were really dry. I dont get how this is the best fried chicken place when other restaurants like Na-Re exist.

2 star rating because they changed the way you order online. Do not use their Order online option cos it s powered by fantuan (Asian skip) My order online ended up costing $3 more than if I called it in. Did not cost extra when I ordered online before.

Love this place!!! Some people might say that it takes a while for the food to be cooked but thats because the food is always cooked fresh and they might be busy with orders. But the workers there are very friendly and accommodating! Great quality, will come back again :) Kid-friendliness: My kids absolutely love the fries and fried chicken!

Great chicken! As others have commented, its made-to-order so youve gotta kill about 15 minutes before picking it up. I always find it more filling than I expect, so while its a bit expensive, I get 2-3 delicious protein-rich meals out of it.

Chicko is my fav KFC. This location has slightly smaller portions than others. I recommend asking for a bit of extra sauce.

Chicken is 5/5 Nearly Perfectly cooked to 160F/72C Super juicy and tasty [got to 165f/74C after 5 min of obtaining. However I am giving the service a 3/5 due to difficulty of understanding me with a lisp Had to call twice, even with the 2nd time spelling my name wrong. And even misunderstanding in person after tipping If coming here around dinner time Saturday; expect some miscommunication and little frustration from service

It was very good, but now only have boneless chicken. we never know how many pieces chicken for half order and full order. Which is like cheating customers. Also the workers are eating and working at the same time. Omg

I like Chico Chicken, so I always order it at other branches. Yesterday, I ordered it at this New West branch, but I felt really bad because each piece of chicken was covered in chicken fat or something. When I took it apart by hand, it was a very large amount. The amount from one piece is incredible. How can this happen when each branch is the same brand? Even if its far away, I think you should always order it at the location you ordered. I liked Coqui branch the best!! I really didnt know it would be this different from branch to branch.

★★★
December 22, 2022

The chicken always tastes great. Super consistent and the price is better than most places. The customer service however, is not as consistent. Although the manager did give us an extra pop because they didnt have radish- this has extended for the past few months and they havent had radish for at least 3+ months. The radish is definitely a staple to Korean fried chicken. Their other locations have radish so Im not sure whats going on. One time, we tried calling in to order and the person at the front answered and then hung up on us. When we proceeded to call back, the line was busy for over 10 minutes. Its almost as if they left the phone off the hook and avoid phone calls. We love the chicken here so we kept trying. We ended up having to drive there and order in person. Recently, I phoned and ordered a full order of chicken. When we got there, we only had a half order and they couldnt make any more since the kitchen had closed. We had to buy subway in order to fullfil our stomaches. There is quite a difference in the amount of chicken in the half vs. full order and you get a better deal too. We were very disappointed as we had been looking forward to it. If youre looking for great Korean fried chicken but inconsistent service, come here.

I ve heard about the hype of KFC and finally today I m able to try one. My coworker recommended the cheese flavour, so I got the half size cheese.

Portion size is smaller than it used to be. They have also stopped including the radish and pop with the full order as before. When I asked for a receipt they were unable to provide one, nor is a there a price list anywhere in the store. For a full order of half and half I was charged 30.43, thats quite a bit more than the 25$ on the leaflet. Staff could not tell me the price of the item I bought....

Ordered half of haek buldak but did not get the free pickled radish as advertised! Maybe that s discontinued. Quantity was pretty good. I couldn t finish my half order in one go. I like that it s freshly cooked even though you have to wait 20 mins. As far as the chicken is concerned, I was craving something extremely spicy and haek buldak did deliver. What I did not expect were some sweet tones in the sauce along with the spicy ones. Can t say I liked that much, I was looking for something just spicy in a non-sweet way. The chicken was nice and tender. Would go again to try some other flavour.

We had the original recipe. The chicken including the white meat pieces were nice and moist while the coating was crunchy. The chicken is made to order so expect a wait during busy times. Call in your order then travel to the location. For locals hopping off the skytrain, place your order, chill at home then walk over to pick it up.

Anyone who complains about this chicken or how they run their business should go eat out of a dog bowl. The chicken is amazing, no matter how many times Ive had it I keep going back. For deepfrying, it is the freshest you will ever find. My advice is to call and order 20 mins ahead or you will sit and wait for your fresh chicken to be prepared. The fat they cook with is constantly fresh and the chicken doesnt hold much grease. If you have not experienced this chicken yet you are missing out. Great prices, great flavors of chicken, and excellent staff. Now go eat some chicko chicken.
