Unassuming fried chicken shop in Lisle St. They have a range of options of fried chicken and also bubble tea. You order the chicken you want and then a flavoured powder to coat it with - so much choice! I had the popcorn chicken and the chicken skins, both delicious although the chicken skins were definitely too rich for me. Next time looking forward to the \volcanic\ cheese-stuffed chicken breast!

I just ordered the crispy chicken breast with a selection of powders. The chicken was delicious but differed to my high expecations in two ways. 1) The batter is deliciously starchy, all the batter that is between the crisp outer layer and then meat is this amazing chewy texture. 2) The outer layer was not as crisp and the inside was not as juicy as I had expected. It is still very crispy and juicy but just not as extreme as other examples I have had. I benchmark perhaps to more on the bone style chicken. But I've definitely had moister breast. I guess you sacrifice moistness in order to have the amazing batter to meat ratio that you can only get with a flat shape. I deduct a star for the following reasons. The patrons did not let me upgrade my chicken breast to a chicken breast popcorn chicken option after ordering, which was really annoying to me and I wasn't offered any reason just no and told to go outside. Also there's no salad or pickle option. Perhaps it is not traditionally served with Taiwanese fried chicken but I do appreciate something to cut through the rich chicken besides more fried food and bubble tea. I also wish the powders were a bit spicier.
Really good fried chicken. I always get the bubble and chicken combo when I'm at Leicester square because the bubble tea actually taste on par with the other chain stores. In fact good friend used to be a bubble tea store before a few years back. Only thing is when I ordered it last time - a guy took my order and he seem to want to rip me off few extra pounds because people tend to just tap their cards and go without looking at the price. Being the cautious person I am, I check what I'm paying first and saw that he charged me extra (especially covid everyone is just tapping and going without checking) hence why minus a star.
Salt and pepper tofu is really nice 5 you got really decent portion and you can pick your own seasoning from over 10 options! Very swaaaag. Gizard is very swaaaaag back to taiwan straight away looool if you are laowai then maybe u won't like it hehehhe And taiwan is not China!bbbbn free China Long live Roc!!!!
The fried chicken is just great. I love getting food from here. The bubble tea is different every time as I have no idea what is going on when I order it, but it is always delicious. Be prepared to look for a bench to nibble it as there is no space inside.
