    It’s been a while since I had KFC, but the quality has really gone down hill. The fries were dry and soggy. Not fresh at all. The chicken were a bit small for my liking. There are way better restaurants inside and outside the zoo. One of the staff working there was pretty friendly so 2 stars or else would have rated it a 1.

    Halal certified restaurant and the outlet here is big - lots of seating areas. I find that their food here taste so much better than the other outlets that we have tried so far... Is it because partly due of the Zoo being one of Singapore's Tourist Attraction? Food quality is so much better. We ordered the Zinger burgers, 3pc Chicken set, Cheese fries, whipped potatoes and all taste so good. We were lucky that we came on a weekday and don't have to go through the hassle of queuing up. Really happy that the whole family enjoyed their dining experience there.

    As expected serviced by Chinese, rude people, don't care about your customer at all. Asked for 3 peaces meal, charged for 3 and gave only 2 peaces and later told I asked for 2 peaces and asked to pay for 3rd peaces. Watch out if you are foreigner.

    Clean, efficient and spacious fast food joint. Always a childhood memory to have KFC after playing w the animals at the sanctuary nearby, especially baby chicks.

    I was impressed that they don't serve straw, but I got a shock when I told the cashier staff I only need one spoon (he gave me two spoons for my mashed potato and coleslaw), the staff simply pick up one of the spoons from my tray (which was untouched!) and thrown into the bin next to him. KFC needs to educate the staff more about saving the earth especially when you work in the zoo as the whole Singapore zoo approach is reduction of plastic to save wildlife.

    Went to the one near Kidzworld. No regular fries the staff said but there is cheese fries. 😂 They cordoned off one part of the restaurant because it it "reserved for an event" which I think they just don't wanna open so they don't need to clean it, squeezing patrons to just one side if the venue

    Closes same time as the parks.. what is the use of having a food counter outside the park area when you dont wish to serve the customers coming out of the park after park closing hours

    Worst kfc outlet I've ever been to, rude customer service by Amruta. Showed her annoyance for a simple request of water. Almost all food options were unavailable. Pieces of chicken found in fries.

    They obviously have manpower issues even on weekdays at offpeak hours. U can queue for an hour and still not get ur food. But since it’s one of the few dining areas in the zoo they have no incentive to improve

    One of 2 KFCs in the zoo ( the other one is inside the zoo on the far opposite side ). Food is started KFC fast food but crowded because this is one of the few cool air conditioned places to have a meal. 3 star for food, +1 for strong air conditioning

    The manager had a bad attitude and all the workers to. they close the shop at 6:30pm and do not take orders 1 second after 6:30 even if u in the line going to order they will tell u when u get to the front that there is no food for u and u must leave the shop. I would not recommend this place to anyone because of the attitude from the workers.

    Perhaps we were hot and hungry after walking around for 3 hours, but the food here seemed better than most other KfCs. The chicken and fries were fresh and crispy, and were delicious. We went for the Colonel and the Zinger value sets. Though they did not look like the ads, the meals were good.

    Zinger burger was cold and meat is very hard, like rubber! Fries are crispy. Nothing to eat at zoo, no choice! Food outside zoo entrance is expensive and bad taste! Full your stomach before going to zoo!

    Plenty of seats even though it was a saturday. Loved that the fries was hot and generous amount of cheese and mayo. Chicken was ok too. One of the better stores out of the other options which are expensive and dont look really appetising either.

    (Translated by Google) The most expensive and unpalatable KFC in the world is here. The bread is dry, the chicken legs are firewood and there is no gravy, and the French fries are dry and powdery. I don't know how long it will last. (Original) 全世界最貴最難吃的KFC在這裡,麵包是乾巴巴的、雞腿是柴的沒肉汁、薯條又乾又粉不知道放了多久。

  • 3/5 Sue G. 2 months ago on Google New
    The last time I ate KFC was like a decade ago. Since it’s a special zoo day hence decided to let the kids try. The overall taste of the KFC meal from the chicken to the mash potatoes to the coleslaw was so poor versus how I remembered it many years ago. The fried chicken hardly have much flavor. The mash potatoes gravy was plain in taste and the same for coleslaw. Disappointing indeed. Only saving grace was the burgers. Decent in taste. Don’t think I will have KFC anytime soon.

  • 4/5 Bob T. 1 year ago on Google
    First time trying KFC, tasted overall great, but it kinda smelled a bit.

  • 3/5 Nobita C. 1 year ago on Google
    From a big restaurant some years ago, to the small eatery with outdoor seating, I personally feel this place remains relatively the best option around here. I always come here for my favourite Original flavoured chicken thigh pieces..

  • 1/5 PAZ 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible unfriendly, food was not fresh and the restaurant dirty... They don't even sell water... Its the most terrible KFC i have ever been.

  • 4/5 Yingying 1 year ago on Google
    KFC located at Singapore Zoo - Food is served quite quickly but price is abit more pricey. They have an eating area that is outdoor so it can get abit warm. Overall it’s a good place to have a quick bite.

  • 5/5 Green J. 1 year ago on Google
    Surprised by the bad reviews here. Perhaps we were lucky. The food at this KFC outlet at the kids play was fantastic! The original chicken was served hot - they were crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The fries, coleslaw and whipped potato were good too. In fact, this outlet possibly serves the best original KFC chicken in Singapore. Perhaps because of the high footfall at this outlet and that we visited during the busy lunch period, the food was served fresh and hot. The only drawback is that the place is always crowded and getting a table may not be as straightforward.

  • 3/5 Kayla M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good location to get something to eat while you're at the zoo. The day we went there was almost no line despite the food court seating area being very full of people. Be aware this location is a little more pricey (not by a lot) then a location not in the zoo. And they don't have the full menu as they didn't have a special item that I wanted that was on the main restaurant menu outside the zoo area.

  • 2/5 Jiawei H. 10 months ago on Google
    Chicken gave me ghonnorea and syphillis, dry and moist, tender and rock hard. Delicious and putrid. Would give the strongest recommendation! To the toilet

  • 1/5 Kelvin L. 7 months ago on Google
    If I am able to give 0 star or even negative star I will do it. The management never see the problems, for years they are still the same. Long queue with short staffed, air con spoil. No self ordering station.

  • 1/5 Felix F. 5 months ago on Google
    Worst KFC I've seen in my whole life! In this certain branch, they got no Hot Wings, Tenders or anything else KFC is famous for on the menu! Just Burgers, Fried Chicken Breast and Fries, nothing else! Either way you shouldn't go there after 4 p.m. Although they close at 6 p.m., they usually run out of chicken by that time and only sell Fries after 4 p.m.! Can't recommend this KFC branch!

  • 1/5 Devika D. 4 months ago on Google
    Food was out of stock and when we asked for water, the worker at the counter replied back in an annoyed manner. As if it was absurd to ask for a glass of water. She was plain rude.

  • 4/5 Thom I. 5 years ago on Google
    This KFC is fully controlled by the Zoo, so new burgers or any new menu items and promotions may not be available right away. Good big place. Food is as per usual KFC, will not disappoint.

  • 3/5 Jongbae J. 4 years ago on Google

    I Would Said It's Fine,But So Many People Like You Scolded. But Everythings Fine But.....CAN YOU SERVE US BREAKFAST FROM 10 A.M./8:30 A.M. TO 12 NOON? But Overall,The Service Is Great!

  • 3/5 Hussain M. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice to find Halal restaurants mentioned in the zoo map. I was surprised to know that KFC here is halal. Anyway, same as any other KFCs. Space is wide but in weekends it is hard to find a table.

  • 4/5 Sharath R B. 5 years ago on Google
    This KFC is right at the entrance of the zoo. While this is strategically placed to attract customers the place seems always crowded and one has to wait for sometime to get their food. Nevertheless, after all of the walking in the zoo, this is a nice place to have a meal.

  • 1/5 Sebastian S. 5 years ago on Google
    Fastest fast food restaurant on earth? Waited for over 30 minutes in queue to order food.

    (Translated by Google) The front desk clerk had a bad attitude, the chicken was dry and it was really not tasty! (Original) 前台服务员态度不好,鸡肉很干,真的不好吃!

  • 2/5 Andrei S. 3 years ago on Google
    If possible, pack your snack and avoid going to KFC. The meat in the burger does not look like meat, nor it tastes like meat. If you are really hungry just get some wings. Overall, lunch was awful, had to throw much of it away.

  • 3/5 Chris P. 4 years ago on Google
    very crowded most of the time. old outlet with 90s decor feel. menu is different from other KFC islandwide so don’t expect getting the current promotional burger/chicken here.

  • 1/5 Alvin W. 6 years ago on Google
    Worst KFC ever!

  • 2/5 Gontaro 6 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately the worst KFC I've been to (several times). Understaffed on weekends, long lines and waiting time, food is prepared so much in advance that its always soggy and lukewarm when you get it. It's OK to keep you alive after hours of running around with kids, but that's about it.

  • 4/5 TETSUYA Y. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Open at 10:00 on weekdays. Please note that you will not be shocked here before opening the zoo. Open at 8:30 on weekends. (Original) 平日は10時オープン。動物園開園前にここでショクというわけにいきませんので、ご注意ください。週末は8時半からオープンしています。
