👍👍 I’m really not person who write a review. But i felt like i have to write here after trying this afternoon. I just moved to the UK from South Korea 4 months ago and have been disappointed with Korean restaurants in London. However, my life has been changed after trying fried chicken here. I can say... People often mention chicken, fried, Korean, fries, crispy, good, garlic, nice, Chicken, spicy,

    I’m really not person who write a review. But i felt like i have to write here after trying this afternoon. I just moved to the UK from South Korea 4 months ago and have been disappointed with Korean restaurants in London. However, my life has been changed after trying fried chicken here. I can say that fried chicken here is better than the ones in South Korea. If you wanna try real-authentic Korean Fried Chicken, here is the place. Guys working there were also super friendly and nice. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Korean Fried Chicken, ordered the half and half, one normal and one spicy it was so crispy and well seasoned. What fried chicken should be like! All the sides were tasty aswell, all washed down with a few bottles of Soju. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Highly recommend 👌 look forward to coming back. A*

    The best KFC!! Honestly get cravings to keep coming back to this place. Sometimes the wait can be a bit long during busy periods but it’s worth the wait. I pretty much always order the chicken wings which are so crispy and also large! Can’t fault the food. Both this branch and the Burlington Road branch offer the same level of food. See you soon!

    We went yesterday just before the dinner rush. Service was lovely by the girl who served us. The spam fries is one of a kind… we only ordered the 6 pieces of fried chicken wings which came out large as we were told accompanied with a bottle of soju and coleslaw. Everything was so tasty… the only fallback was having to wait almost 30 minutes for our fried chicken. Still, hands down the best KFC in all London for me 🥰🥰🥰

    it was so grandiosely advertised on social media that we expected the restaurant to at least look a bit appealing. Food was tasty, presentation not so nice, portion size is big. The staff would always have to be hunt down to talk to them, they were all in the back.

    A nice small place to visit with great tasting food. Service was quick and all staff were super friendly. Would suggest making a booking before visiting as it can get busy. But definitely worth trying. The chicken was crispy and a generous amount, with flavour going through the outer coating and into the meet.

    The best Korean fried chicken I've ever had! Had the half and half - plain and spicy glazed. The coating was so crispy. Also had the mozzarella sticks, cajun fries and spam fries which arrived in an adorable re-used spam can. All delicious. They were out of the plum soju and Cass so we had the peach and Asahi instead. Lovely atmosphere and friendly helpful staff. Can't wait to go back and try the garlic soy next time.

    Chick and beers are Very cosy and authentic chic Korean style. Staff are amazing and very customer oriented. Chicken are succulent. You can choose different style of choice and even half and half combinations of style chicken. I love the coleslaw that is light and tasty and not over power with heavy sauce. Chips was so tasty ,hot and fresh. I try their soju grape,strawberry flavours very chill and nice. They have quite some choice of tap beers . I think having a Korean tv that will be even awesome.their expresso is very nice as strong and dark consistency even for a single shot expresso. Fry chicken is my favourite with soya garlic sauce

    Really good experience. The chicken was crispy like you'd get in Korea and they let you do half soy/garlic and half spicy, unlike in Korea where you usually just get half fried and half yangnyeom (spicy). Staff were lovely! Spam fries were good and so were the potato fries! However next time I will get the fries without cajun seasoning as this will compliment the chicken better (we didn't know which fries to choose as usually we don't eat fries with fried chicken in Korea) Chicken was tasty, plenty of sauce! Made to order so it was fresh! Overall satisfied and will come back again! Hope to see other seasoning/flavour options in the future but we enjoyed it!

    Outstanding Korean fried chicken. I've been coming here consistently for nearly a year and have always had a great time. The waiters are friendly, the consistency of the dishes is impeccable and the flavour is just right. My go-to order which I strongly recommend includes: a half and half portion of wings (garlic soy and spicy), onion rings, and spam fries. I find this to be enough food for 2 people with a medium appetite. For bigger eaters the whole chicken half and half goes pretty far.

    I was recommended this place and it did not disappoint! We got the whole chicken (half signature fried and half spicy glazed) with a side of chips and Soju! The chicken was delicious! The service was great, very friendly staff! Service was a little slow but I believe it’s because we arrived just before they closed for lunch!

    Fried chicken but not Korean fried chicken 3.5 stars Average fried chicken but for sure not Korean fried chicken. Selection of the different chicken flavours is quite small. The menu also shows that the owner might be not Korean (radish charged extra). Food: We ordered the spring onion boneless chicken (325gr/£12.5) and the garlic soy chicken wings (4pcs/£11.5). The spring onion chicken was ok but the garlic soy was way too salty. Waiting time: The restaurant was pretty empty (2 other tables were occupied) but waited 25 min from ordering to receiving. Here they could improve. Service: ok beside the long waiting time

    Spam fries are surprisingly delicious and the crunch was perfect! However, I personally think the chicken could be improved, the sauce and crisp was great but hope they could have boneless thighs choices and more sauce choices.

    Obscenely crispy and juicy Korean fried chicken. It’s good value too - a whole bird is just over £20 which fed two of us with leftovers. It’s very customisable with glazes ranging from soy to spicy. Worth the trip to New Malden alone.

    Surely the best fried chicken (Korean or otherwise) in London. You have to wait as everything is only cooked after you order it but the fried chicken is stunning. Very light, grease free batter and the marinade has turmeric and other spices in it. Just mind blowing lying good..please don't take away. Just eat there

    Loved Chick and Beers! Amazingly crispy and flavorful chicken, with a great selection of beers. The staff is friendly and the vibe is cozy and welcoming. Definitely recommend for a casual, tasty meal. Can't wait to go back!

    Got the half fried and half glazed as well as the spring onion chicken. Really loved the glazed garlic soy chicken but it was a bit too sweet. The fried chicken was slightly dry. But overall it was good fried chicken. Staff were really friendly which made the experience really nice. The portions were also big.

    Really delicious chicken and great portion sizes for the price. The glazes were slightly on the sweet side for us (we ordered the spicy one) but the chicken itself was amazing quality and super crispy. Would definitely go back!

  • 3/5 Chris t. 11 months ago on Google
    Food: Honestly I was expecting more. The chicken was really bland. The only one that tasted good was the glazed one. Service: The staff member that served was very nice and welcoming, very polite too. The only let down was that we were waiting for about 30 minutes for our food, and we were one of two tables being served. Atmosphere: It's a nice little hangout spot, good to go with friends and family for the sharing factor. They were playing Korean music, (kpop etc) and that was a nice touch Overall: For the price I was expecting a more full bodied flavour, and better service.

    The atmosphere and service at this restaurant are commendable, creating a pleasant dining experience. However, when it comes to the taste of their fried chicken, it falls slightly short, just surpassing the standard set by KFC. Additionally, during my visit, I noticed that one piece of the glazed chicken was served cold, leading me to suspect that it may have been pre-cooked.

    My friend and I visited this Korean fried chicken place last Saturday.(30th April) All the tables were taken when we got there(around 17:00), the waitress let us sit at the bar to wait, and luckily we didn’t wait for long to get a table, right after we finished discussing about what to order, no more than 10 mins. The place is small but quite busy, and we were surprised that there’s only one waitress serving all the customers. The waitress was really nice and sweet, and we got our drinks and food very fast. We were extremely satisfied with the quality of the food, I’ve been to South Korea many times, the fried chicken was authentic, so crispy like the one you can get in South Korea. I particularly love the two small pots of dipping sauce they provided, which makes the fried chicken even more tasty. The drawbacks are 1. They sold out all the Korean beer. 2. The chilli sauce fried chicken was too sweet, it would be even better if it tasted a little bit spicy. 3. They somehow didn’t provide a small portion of pickled radish, usually in a Korean fried chicken place, that comes with the friend chicken you order, and we also forgot to ask about it. Overall, I really enjoy my first experience dining here, can’t wait to visit here again soon!

    Amazing Korean fried chicken! The plain fried one had a light and super crispy batter. The chicken was cooked very well - hot, juicy, tender and well-seasoned! The soy garlic one was also delicious. The Cajun fries had a nice spicy kick to it! All of them paired greatly with a pint of beer!

  • 5/5 Ryan O. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible experience. We had to visit this place during our short stay in London. We had a good feeling about this place in particular after seeing reviews and the photos of the chicken and boy did it live up to the hype. The Chicken has an ultra thin yet super crispy coating and the chicken itself is so succulent. We tried both the chilli and garlic soy glazes, both gorgeous of course. Staff were super friendly and accommodating as well. If you want Korean Fried Chicken in London this is hands down the place to come!

    Big portions was happy about it. The sweet potato fries I ordered was bit burned though. Original chicken is good ,garlic soya was okish. The chicken tenders with onion is nothing special. The Spam fries was ok.

    Alright here me now it was my little sisters birthday and before she goes off to uni we decided to try out this relatively know Korean fried chicken place called chick and beers in New Malden/Coombe Road branch. We had to sit in the outside part which was a bit depressing at first but that all changed when we were great by our amazing server Mj who was brilliant and made the whole culinary experience a joy. I got to try a lot of different things because I was with my siblings I got the half half (fried/glazed) with garlic soy, along with spam fries and a complimentary mozzarella sticks because my chicken took a bit longer than everyone else. I also got to try the Cajun fries and sweet chilli nuggets. Half Half chicken - garlic soy/fried As good as the half half chicken was which is like 15 pieces of chicken so don’t make my mistake and think you can conquer it all, you aren’t the Roman Empire. The normal fried chicken is succulent and well crispy but lacked flavour by itself and heavily relies on the sauce so I do recommend to always get it glazed or to do the obligatory dip in the sauce you get on the side. 7/10 Spam fries I have never had spam before so this was a risk me choosing to get these and I’ve heard that they are amazing but when I had them I didn’t understand the hype like they’re quite tasty, very salty though I wouldn’t get them again though. 5.5/10 Mozzarella sticks I did have high expectations because I’ve always thought you couldn’t mess up these but I was a bit disappointed they did have a decent cheese pull but the batter was not good. It was in need of serious salt because it lacked taste. Very underwhelming but it was free so I was happy about that, would not recommend . 3.5/10 The Cajun fries were very good, great portion, crispy, fresh, fluffy on the inside. I was pleased with it. Sweet chilli nuggets were hefty, unusually big for nuggets you could eat those with some fries and you would be good. My sister’s suggestion to make that just a bit better was to have two different glazing choices instead of one for the whole thing like the chicken. Overall 7.5/10 For more review check out my insta sjtalks_

    We ordered spring onion chicken strips in garlic soy glaze and sticky nuggets in a sweet chili glaze- both were amazing and I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Chick & Beers on Coombe Road is a perfect example of ‘less is more’. They have a limited but Fried Chicken first, focused menu which is executed consistently and perfectly. With Korean Fried Chicken that far exceeded already high expectations, I have simply concluded that this is the best place in London for Chicken. I didn’t try any of their beers but if their chicken is anything to go by, I'd guess that’d be amazing too. I have been to Chick and Beers Coombe Road on multiple occasions. It being almost an hour and a half journey for me is not enough to deter from having one of the most breath-taking chicken pieces and restaurant experiences money can buy in London. A special shout-out goes to the consistently friendly and attentive service at Chick & Beers, but more specifically to Rebecca who works at the Coombe Road branch! Pictured is a host of photos from multiple trips to Chick & Beers, including their famous Korean Fried Chicken, Croffles and Spam Fries.

    Amazing Korean fried chicken. Came here on a weekday lunch and the food here was reasonably priced(£7-8 per dish) and the food was cooked to perfection. Super crispy and freshly fried, presentation and portion was good. All you want in a Korean fried chicken shop. Must try!!
