    First time in this place, looks like there are pretty good selection for the menu. Excited to try it since I'm still waiting for my food while writing this. Service was good since there isn't much people around this time.

    Interior

    While the interior was bright and new and their touchscreen ordering system is neat; their food is subpar at best. The spicy crispy chicken sandwich wasn't dry but wasn't juicy neither. The batter was on it was just average. Sweet bread buns was a nice touch and the cole slaw wasn't too overwhelming. There wasn't much sauce on the sandwich but it was like a mildly spicy barbeque sauce. The small waffles on the waffle chicken sandwich were OK, but the drizzle of condensed milk over the whole thing makes it very sticky to handle. The chicken soup was way overcooked. Everything was nearly a dissolved mush and the broth tasted more like a vegetable soup.

    We gave them another try during their official opening weekend and they're definitely more organized but the food is still subpar. CHICKEN: We ordered the deluxe crispy sandwich due to their bogo deal. Unfortunately the chicken was not crispy at all. The cole slaw in the sandwich definitely adds some flavor and texture to the sandwich which I appreciated but probably wouldn't get it again. FRIES: The sweet potato fries were great though hard to mess up. Overall, our two visits ended in disappointment.

    Solid fast casual spot for a chicken sandwich. We ordered the classic chicken sandwich and a fish sandwich. I have to say the fish sandwich impressed me the most. It was crispy and light and it's not often that there's good fish sandwich. The chicken was ok, it wasn't as crispy and not hot either. The sauces carried the meal but not as impressed.

    Had high hopes...but chicken was tough and dry frys were really greasy, "homemade" sauces were mid . Service was fine. The place itself was pretty cool though.

    The chicken wasn't as crispy as I would hope from a crispy fried chicken based shop. Also the fried Oreos are downright soggy. I live next door so traveling the ten feet from their storefront to my apartment shouldn't result in this.

    Malden Center has changed and grown a lot since I was growing up there. The food scene especially, with tons of new restaurants popping up every year. I was excited to see a new fried chicken place, and went there for lunch today. There's a counter, but I used the touch screen at the front to order. It was very easy, but lacked product descriptions and used stock photos. When I saw the digital signs behind the counter, I felt like I had missed out on certain items because they weren't on the touch screen menu! I ended up getting popcorn chicken and fries. My food came out 10 minutes after I ordered. The restaurant was mostly empty, but at least I knew they weren't just microwaving my food. The place looked kind of bland and half-finished, with three small tables and only one real decoration, a neon sign that read "Who touched my chicken lol" When I opened my box in the car, I was initially disappointed. The chicken looked so pale, I was expecting mush. But looks are deceiving, because WOW. Juicy, flavorful, and so freaking good from the first bite. The "Bam Bam" sauce was incredible, like a pineapple chili hot sauce. The fries were good, cooked great and tasted nice. I wasn't expecting the food to be so good, but I'm very pleasantly surprised. With a little clean-up, and another minute in the fryer, this place could be one of the best places in Malden for fast casual chicken lovers like myself.

    Couldn't wait to try once I saw the sign go up, fantastic service, great food at a good value. We tried the spicy fried chicken along with both spicy and regular tenders All were moist, tasty with an awesome crunchy coating!

    Fried chicken and cole slaw.
    Gaillymac M.

    Oh. My. God. This is the most delicious and perfectly fried chicken I've had in 40 years on earth. My only complaint is that the fresh and crunchy cole slaw need a bit of acidity - maybe some vinegar - to balance the richness of the succulent chicken. 11 stars out of 10!

    Poorly managed with lack of costumer service of FOH. Around 30 min wait for 4 orders of fried Oreos!! Don't even bother by! $25 straight to trash!!!

    Jay's Pizza and Ice Cream, based on initial impressions, seems to be a no-frills, pizza, subs, and…read moresalad place. This sort of corner establishment seems ubiquitous in New England. They offer counter service and a paltry few seats for dine in (maybe 3 bar stools at another counter and 2 small tables with 2-3 chairs). The establishment has clearly optimized for to-go orders. The establishment's name belies its menu of momos (dumplings) and small selection of Himalayan-Nepalese-IndoChinese fare. I went specifically for the momos, priced at $13.99-$14.99 for 10 pcs. Pricing varies based on filling (vegetable, chicken, pork, or beef) and preparation style (steamed, fried, in soup, or with chili). The portions, both size and pricewise, seemed similar to those at restaurants. The momos themselves came with regular orange chutney and a spicier chutney. Overall, the momos seems reasonable. I do wish the filling had more aromatics; the absence of cumin made the steamed ones indistinguishable from other East Asian dumplings. I also tried the fried ones out of curiosity. They came deep fried rather than the pan fried style of potstickers / gyoza. I'm biased towards steamed dumplings, but I'm glad I tried these out regardless.

    **Alegria Bowls - A Burst of Happiness in Every Bite!**…read more I used to walk by Alegria Bowls on Main Street and always wondered what the hype was about... and now, the only thing I regret is not going in sooner! "Alegria" means happiness in Portuguese, and let me tell you, that's exactly what this place delivers. Their specialty? **Acai Bowls** - straight from Brazil, these delicious bowls are packed with fresh ingredients, and you get to customize them exactly how you like! From acai to milkshakes and ice cream, everything is made fresh, and you can even add fun Brazilian treats like **Serenata de Amor** chocolate (a delightful caramel chocolate that adds the perfect touch to their ice cream ). I tried the **strawberry milkshake**, and it was absolutely *delicious* - super fresh, creamy, and worth every sip. Yes, it's on the pricier side, but the quality and freshness of the ingredients make it totally worth it, in my opinion. **Food**: 9/10 **Pricing**: 6/10 (a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for!) **Ambiance**: 7/10 (fun, welcoming vibes with a bubbly font that adds to the charm) If you're craving something fresh, healthy, and oh-so-yummy, do yourself a favor and stop by Alegria Bowls! You won't regret it.

While there are a ton of pre-made options, I was looking for a more simple bowl so opted to make my own. I got a bowl with strawberries, bananas, kiwi, and mango, and you could tell all the fruit was actually fresh. I also put granola and peanut butter in my bowl. Unlike most places, the peanut butter was drizzled on the top which was a nice surprise. My only suggestion would be to have an option of how much you want drizzled on top since it was a little heavy for my own preference (still delicious). The staff was friendly and even delivered your meal to your table. While there arent a ton of seats inside, we had no issues finding a place to sit, even with another family there. I would come back here and be open to trying other items on the menu as well.
