M.

All I can say is 3 words "Tender, Seasoned, Delicious" Flavours are their and it's just mouth watering. Customer service is on point and store is always tidy. Come here to get a feed every here and their, it's just so good. Would highly recommended the "Seasoned fried chicken and the Soy honey garlic" Spicy is also delicious, I love spice but someone who can't handle spice do not get spicy it is "Spicy spicy x3"

v.

The best Korean Chicken in South Auckland. Tender, crispy and the sauce just perfect. But unfortunately they just have boneless and never had bone in available as the choices on the menu which $2 more expensive. Suggestions to the shop to take out the bone in choices from the menu if they’ve never been available.

H.

Let me tell you one thing it's a must try if you looking for something different then KFC or McDonald's. Today we went to Takanini store and to start with perfect customer service. We tried Soya honey and Clasic chicken. Unfortunately they were out of stock for Bone in so we tried their boneless option and was really worth it. We tried half and half option which cost 38$. The quantity is enough to feed 3 hungry friends 😋. But I would say try their hot chicken option. I have heard a lot about it and will try next time but both of the above option were a bit sweet on taste. Overall 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

M.

ORDERED: 2x Soy Honey Garlic Chicken & Rice 1x Chicken Bowl 1x Chips 1x Wedges PRICING: Paid about $48 for that. GREAT food and definitely has to be tried. Has its own taste and not like KFC or those roast shops. Will definitely come here again

D.

Best fried chicken in South Auckland. Super crispy & perfectly seasoned. Love the coleslaw & chips aswell. Their hot & spicy chicken is pretty hot but addictive. 🥵🔥. You must try their crispy chicken dish it's full of flavour & everyone will love it.

D.

Never knew this place existed till I drove past it one time and saw the picture in the window saying Korean premium chicken (I think 😂) and since then always wanted to try it and finally did twice and Dayumn that’s some delicious chicken!!! Best chicken ever by far. Definitely recommend 🤤

A.

I ve tried all of Korean style's fried chicken in NZ. This is the best and the closest taste. Highly recommend!!! suit with cold beer. Also, Wonderful staff and the kitchen looks really clean.

A.

Best prepared, seasoned, cooked and served chicken - super tasty! Team members are very friendly, you can expect the same great service every time. The lady called Jasmin is fantastic!

M.

Premium Korean fried chicken in South Auckland! The best hands down. They offer boneless fried chicken & fried chicken pieces. I suggest you order the boneless! When you order the boneless chicken you will select which flavour you want (example: soy honey garlic or hot sweet & sour) and then choose either half a chicken (feeds 2) or whole chicken (feeds 4). You then select your sides (for the main menu this is purchased separately) chips or rice? And I highly recommend you get a side of pickled radish too because it helps cut through the fried chicken! My go to is the creamy onion boneless fried chicken, with rice & radish as my sides!🤤boneless chicken comes in bite sized pieces of crispy fried chicken with your chosen flavour in a sauce to coat the fried chicken🔥🤤if you want something small on the go or want to try it out on a budget, grab one of their chicken meals which is a chicken & rice bowl (for 1 person) which is also so good! Their staff are always so friendly and during the lockdown we have always placed phone orders prior to picking up which is handy. Papas Chicken is always our go to for fried chicken now!🍗🍚🥢

S.

Chicken is delicious, but abit expensive for the portion sizes but over all tastes good. Recommend to those who haven’t tried it.

N.

Worth the drive for our all-time fave combo half half soy and cheese onion chicken. Friendly staff and fast service. Must try.😀

N.

Best fried chicken around! Meals are yummy. Value for money. Cook meals on order so it's always fresh. Our fave local.

R.

I had the chicken bowl and I have to say this was my first from Papas Chicken. This dish is great. It had plenty of vegetables, a decent amount of tasty crispy chicken and with just enough rice to make this chicken bowl a tasty meal.

J.

Absolutely mouth-watering, my partner and I stop by here at least every 2 weeks to get x2 honey, soy, garlic chicken on rice - the BEST! We love Papa’s Chicken 😄 You have to try it for yourself.

L.

What can i say !!! best spicy korean chicken in town ?? visited few times already and same consistent taste- Looks like a family owned business and very dedicated team members. Pricing is reasonable and if you are in a rush- call them and order prior. i found the 12$ chick/rice meal very valuable. Keep it up guys.

J.

The chicken pieces all cooked through and still juicy. Their coleslaw is yum but for me the sauce on the chicken is far too sweet.

T.

Sauce is amazing and chicken is crispy. Even with the sauces, crispness lasts for a long time. For one portion, size is quite huge so even good to share among 2-3 people. Perfect to go with a beer. Highly recommended.

H.

pretty yum chicken but bit pricey for portions favourite is the seasoned chicken, tried the spicy and it was unbearable love having salad wraps with these yummy

M.

Absolutely delicious chicken freshly made before your eyes- amongst a small yet snazzy environment. Great customer service and excellent chicken! Best chicken in South Auckland. Yes I said it, SOUTH AUCKLAND! ❤️

A.

I love ordering from this place.. shop is clean, even the kitchen. The staff are friendly and during lockdown, they have a good system for orders.

A.

The KFC here is off the hook good. Go to fav is the seasoned boneless with chips and radish. Fast, hot & delicious every time

L.

This place offers Korean fry chicken. Crispy and hot spicy both are tasty. The taste is very different compare to KFC. Korean spicy souce is sweet and spicy (be careful that is very hot maybe 8 of 10). And, this chicken is much dryer, not have lots of juice. Each piece contains full of taste in meat. Price is $18/half chicken, $34/whole chicken. The place is tidy and clean, currently follows COVID 19 protocol contactless order and pick up. There are lots of parking available. It's busy place, good to place order and then pickup.

J.

Excellent chicken. Seasoned Boneless is recommended! Even made the left overs into a donburi!

E.

Good food, fresh and made to order. Was a bit disappointed as most of the items on their menu was sold out by lunch time - on the bright side, it shows how great their food really is!! It is well located and among other takeaways, theirs seemed the busiest. I would recommend the hot and spicy for those who love spicy food, it hit the spot! The prices are fair with sufficient quantity, friendly staff and good service. Surely recommend to all.

J.

Pretty solid spot! If it's just as good next time I'll change this to a 5 star. Spicy chicken is on POINT! Honey Soy chicken is Fantastic! Crispy chicken is Fabulous! The kids loved their meals too. Finally a Korean Fried Chicken spot in South Auckland. Definitely going back! _____________________________________________________________________ Went back on the weekend and ate in... super enjoyable and the food was fantastic!!!

E.

Great customer service, very delicious chicken and generous portion sizes. I'm very grateful that we have delicious K-fried chicken here in South Auckland!

S.

Absolutely delicious if you like chicken. You have a choice of boneless chicken or normal chicken. And the white creamy sauce is delicious

b.

Lovely food, alwyas great customer service but the store could do with a bit of a clean, other then that love it !

N.

Highly recommend! Amazing tasting chicken for such an affordable price!!!

T.

Been here a few times and the chicken is always delicious! Ordered the honey soy, seasoned, & sweet chilli 1/2's Although really tasty, it's a bit pricey at $19-20 for each half box with a small bowl of coleslaw. Rice is not included & costs extra. Wouldve given 5 stars if they included rice for the price they charge. Was a 30min wait for me so best to do a phone order.

S.

Ordered the Hot Spicy Chicken and the Hot Sweet And Sour Chicken, both tasted amazing, Hot Spicy Chicken was pretty spicy but also had a nice sweet flavour to go with it. The Hot Sweet And Sour wasn't spicy but still had a nice sweet flavour, would recommend this place to everyone Update: Tried the Soy Honey Garlic Chicken, this is my new favourite flavour, its nice and sweet, might be too sweet for some but just perfect for me. This was the best flavour they have.

A.

DELICIOUS 😋 First time visiting today, and this will be our new spot for sure. I tried the seasoned chicken on rice. nice sweet flavour with a mild kick of heat. paired perfectly with rice and coleslaw. My son got the half crispy chicken boneless. This was delicious super crunchy and nice and juicy meat inside. My husband got the chicken bowl with cabbage. He enjoyed this and I had a bite super tasty nice portion of veggies and chicken. 10/10

S.

They cook to order which is really good, as you receive your meal really fresh and hot. Their chicken is so tender and juicy. I dont mind the wait, as their chicken is extremely good. This would be one of my favorite restaurant that sells fried chicken.

A.

Perfectly cooked crispy, moist korean fried chicken. Perfect portion

B.

Best meal I have had in a while, just perfect! Sorry KFC... Papas chicken is where it's at!!

A.

OMG YOUVE PUT ME OFF KFC 😆😆😆 MY FIRST BITE WAS LIKE A TASTE OF HEAVEN 👀❤❤❤ ILL BE BACK 😁 WAS MY FIRST TIME HERE TODAY ,AS MY GRANDAUGHTER WHOS ONLY 10YRS OLD SUGGESTED I GO GET ME SOME POPPAS CHICKEN🙂 . AND YUP IM GLAD I DID VERY SATISFIED INDEED.

G.

A.

It's amazing! Great service, great food. All in all, Amazing! They Honey Soy Garlic is the best

S.

Nice boneless chicken in honey soy & hot & spicy with side of Radish..

A.

Wish they had a bigger plate but next time I'll just get x2 because it was that good 💯❤

S.

Best fried Chicken I have ever had!! Will be a regular spot for me now, totally worth the drive if not local to the location.

S.

This place is amazing. The food is delicious, the meals are a perfect for one (they’re just normal servings which I like) and the prices are really good. The chicken is just juicy and crunchy. We eat here at least once a week. Totally recommend.

A.

So many people recommended Papas chicken to us so we gave it a shot. WOW! We got the half serve of Honey Soy Garlic Chicken and it was amazing, not a single piece was dry. Will certainly be back to try more.

M.

I CANT WAIT TO GO BACK! I was on a rush so only got a snack box. The chicken was VERY crispy & not dry at all. Was yummy. Chips were crunchy on the outside & soft on the inside. Also got a coleslaw that was light & refreshing was great to have with the chicken. Thank you!!

M.

Delicious, crispy, juicy chicken. Absolutely recommend. I saw from the posts there was a wait so I called ahead at 5.00pm and ordered a half crispy, half seasoned and half soy garlic and an extra sauce. I asked to pick up at 6pm. I was driving and almost there when I got a call at 5.57pm to say my order was ready which I thought was awesome service. When I got there they had missed one thing however they got me to wait and I only sat for a minute and the rest of my order was ready. The two younger girls serving were really friendly and sweet even while it was hectic. I hope I can come in when it's less busy to thank the others for the awesome food. I finally got to share real Korean fried chicken with my friend and he was impressed too.

d.

I ordered boneless soy garlic whole chicken and wasn't what I was expecting as it looked like popcorn chicken. The sauce was a bit sweet for me but LOVED the coleslaw was fresh and yum! Kids enjoyed it. Will be back to try different flavors

H.

I've tried nearly all kinds of chickens and never got disappointed everytime I ordered. Usually had to wait around 15 to 20 mins(or less for chicken meal, or more if they are busy) but it always worth to wait. They always made to order, which makes chicken very fresh, crispy, hot and juicy inside. Hot spicy and Creamy Onion chickens are my favourite and loved their service.

j.

Amazing amazing food! Freshly cooked and so yummy! We have been back twice this week. The rice and chicken meals are great and not expensive. Super filling and the chicken is the best you will ever taste (crispy, not dry and not fatty). We will be back!

J.

Delicious Korean chicken and friendly service. Very popular and hope they keep doing well. Highly recommended.

B.

Best fried chicken ever!!!! Hot spicy chicken is on point......hot and spicy. They only make to order as well, so you don’t have stale fried chicken waiting in warmers, drying out, ready to be served to the unwitting customer. Highly recommend this place.

D.

We had the bone-in, crunchy fried 1/2 chicken. The pieces were like really, really fancy KFC. Think Homestead quality chicken but with a much lighter flavour. The absence of sodium was noticeable and made it so much more enjoyable. It was a little more expensive than KFC, but the meals are made to order. Expect to wait up to 20 minutes, but it sure is worth the wait!

K.

Awesome fried chicken, boneless option and great flavor/sauce selection!! Would highly recommend it

J.

Best Korean chicken! I Love the Honey Soy Garlic Chicken on rice, always crunchy and lots of chicken 😊

S.

Hot and spicy is super hot! Amazing flavour

A.

Soy honey chicken with rice was delish. So crispy!! YUMM

C.

Do a handful of things and do them well. That's what this place does. Their fried chicken is amazing. Excellent crunch. Juicy pieces that are never dry. You won't be disappointed.

J.

This place has some of the best Korean fried chicken in Auckland. The skin is super crispy and the sauce is sweet and spicy. Exactly what you are looking for if you want Korean fried chicken.

H.

M.

The spicy chicken is absolutely delicious! The spice levels can be very high, but it is very delicious.

R.

Food is great. But constantly sold out of thighs and drumsticks. After 5 separate attempts you would think one would stock up around dinner time, very dissapointing.

T.

The crispy and honey soy chicken are to die for.

Đ.

Good place to eat and chill. Chicken always fresh, nice authentic Korean flavour. Will come back next time. Highly recommended

G.

Good, if you have not had Korean chicken before. Serving size, small. Tried three times.

R.

Fresh as korean fried chicken. Get the soy. Wait time’s reasonable. Phone thru order if you want to prevent any potential wait time disappointment. Can’t wait to come back

N.

Chicken everything!!! All tasty and all need that pickled radish on the side. And wedges, don't forget the wedges

C.

Always freshly cooked and hot, almost a once a week thing for us. Nice range of flavours, beats KFC for me

DELICIOUS, by far the best chicken in south Auckland. Beats dry KFC by a mile.

Finally some crispy Korean chicken in South Auckland. Love the spicy wings with a side of coleslaw and pickle raddish. Highly recommend

a.

Not sure what I was expecting from a fast food joint, but the chicken was cooked well, but there weren't any distinctive flavors other than sauces between dishes.

R.

OMG. This is the meanest chicken joint ever. Better than the rest. And I mean it. Nom kom nom all day.

R.

The best hot and spicy chicken 😊👍

(Translated) The seasoned chicken is so delicious. If you want Korean flavored chicken, you should definitely go! It’s delicious even if you eat the leftovers the next day. Even with seasoned chicken, the chicken is very crispy. Prosper for a long time~~!! (Original) 양념치킨 너무 맛있어요. 한국맛 치킨을 원하시면 꼭한번 가보세요! 다음날 남은거 먹어도 맛있어요. 양념치킨이어도 치킨이 엄청 바삭해요. 오래오래 번창하세요~~!!
