I stopped by here on my visit to Chinatown as it smelled wonderful when I was passing by, the popcorn chicken was very good and tasted freshly made. The only issue here is there is no real seating or dining area. There are some benches, but it can be hard to get a spot. Nonetheless, I would definitely stop back in here again if I visit the area again.
Giant Fried Chicken! It's made with a whole piece of chicken breast, but very juicy. I have tried Plum and Wasabi, both are great. Highly recommend combo A, chickendrinkFrench fries.
Great place to just dive in and grab some good fried chicken. The combos are great and menu is diverse (with chicken). Fully halal also. We had the salt & pepper fillet and the signature cheese with chilli. Both were ace! Will go back again.
The chicken is so juicy and the outside is the right amount of crispy. Definitely worth a try and is halal. I would recommend the signature chicken fillets and the Taiwanese popcorn chicken. It comes out fresh and hot which is a plus. Prices are a little on the high side for chicken but for London is a decent price and is filling. Yet to try other products on the menu.
Spent the weekend wandering around Chinatown with friends and got completely drawn in by the amazing smell coming from Monga Fried Chicken. I’m a sucker for a proper Taiwanese-style fried chicken, and this place did not disappoint. The chicken cutlets are massive—literally bigger than my face—perfectly crispy on the outside and unbelievably juicy inside. The plum-flavoured one was a game-changer, slightly sweet and tangy, balancing out the richness. The signature spicy chicken was addictive, packed with flavour. Even the wings were top-notch—crispy, well-seasoned, and super satisfying. Definitely pairing this with bubble tea next time!
Authentic, juicy , and fresh. I’m not a big fan of fried food recently but this is not greasy at all, I highly recommend the plum one if u wanna get some Taiwanese speciality
It is absolutely delicious. I was so surprised by the portion size as well; you literally get half a chicken. This is a must-try.
One of my favourite fried chicken restaurant because the chicken is so flavoursome and juicy. The fried chicken as a crispy exterior and it is not greasy. I really like the taste of pepper across their chicken products. They have casual seating upstairs where you can wait for your order number to be announced. I will be trying more items on the menu at my next visit.
