    Crispy Chicken Cutlet
    Anthony D.

    Located in the Tiger Sugar bubble tea store, they have a separate counter on the right hand side. You can still order from the kiosk for both. We ordered the Crispy Chicken Cutlet and it was HUGE, so don't expect it to be a snack. It was surprisingly juicy as well, definitely a pretty good place to stop by if you aren't sitting down for a full meal. It did take a minute for the food to come out though.

    [FOOD] For 10 bucks the chicken cutlet is GINORMOUS. I was kinda shocked how big it was. It was thick and crispy too. O: You can definitely eat this for two meals with rice. [SERVICE] Standard. [PLACE] This place shares a spot with Tiger Sugar. They have some tables for seating. [VERDICT] I like chicken cutlets so I am biased and will give this a 5 out of 5. Where else in Chicago can you find a giant chicken cutlet?

    We got the deep fried chicken cutlet smothered in sweet chili sauce and don't get me wrong. It was good, but it was extremely messy. The chicken is pipping hot which is always a good thing, you can tell it was freshly fried but the sauce was coated and spilling out of the container. The container is very poorly decided and the chicken is still super hot so it's a little hard to carry the chicken. The flavors are good though, but the execution was disappointing. I also had to ask for napkins but they kept only giving me 1 even though this chicken was SUPER messy. Overall tasty, but not worth the hassle in my opinion.

    Chicken cutlet and popcorn chicken

    The chicken cutlet is a generous size and juicy.The popcorn chicken is also good, but not as good as the cutlet. The breading isn't amazing, but it's pretty good. They fry to order, so you might wait a bit for your freshly fried chicken. You get to choose one flavor seasoning powder to go with your chicken. My friend and I got the spicy seasoning, which was a nice addition. While the chicken cutlet was well cooked, I noticed they did cut it open to check if it was cooked. I'm glad they made sure, but I hope they can improve their frying skills so this isn't necessary. Alternatively, at least a food thermometer would make a smaller hole. They're sharing a space with Tiger Sugar, so you can order chicken from the same counter that you order boba. I would come back for the cutlet if I wanted a big snack or a light meal!

    A day in chinatown Chicago being the foodies that we are! Started with a meal from here & we shared the huge chicken nugget (we cut it up to share as seen in picture), fries, and a Boba drink from tiger sugar chicago all for around $17! It was super tasty and next time I'll have to try out their different sauces!

    The Chunky Boss is a convenient hub for your fried chicken and fries combo. I particularly enjoyed eating the sweet chili fried chicken and sweet potato fries as they are reasonably priced and a sizable piece!

    Me & my girlfriend decided to finally stop by after this place started going viral on social media. We got the combo that comes with a big piece of chicken, tenders and fries. The chicken is as huge as they say it is lol. One thing to note is that you have to pay extra for sauce and it comes in a tiny container. We found it difficult to dip the big chicken in the container and for having to pay extra for sauce it just wasn't enough. The chicken is cooked fresh and hot and as a result be prepared to spend some time waiting for your meal. The food came hot and and the chicken was juicy. We also got some boba from Tiger Sugar which is located within the same area. We do recommend getting the combo if you plan to share food with someone to get more bang for your buck!

    Decent. Small space. Tasty food yet requires more quality control. Plum seasoning is great with the mango sauce. Service is fine for such a fast food busy place.

    Melanie W.

    My friend really wanted to try this place for a quick bite since we were not that hungry. She ordered the chicken cutlet with spicy sauce, and I ordered the popcorn chicken with plum. The cutlet and the popcorn chicken both were huge portions, and the seasoning still lacked flavor. The service is slow as well since they share with Tiger Sugar and everyone orders from the kiosk.

    Chunky definitely describes what you get! Cutlet is about the size of my face. Some seats inside though it can get competitive if it is busy. If you get sauce I might not recommend walking around with it since the sauce drips out the side. The sweet thai taste was okay - though the crispy cutlet is the way to go since you can choose the spice to put on it. The store does a good job telling you this, but please know that it takes time for them to cook them fresh. Do not expect it to be super fast food. Would add a star if the taste was a bit better on the sweet thai and I got a holdable carton that did not leak all over the place.

    My second time here and was as good as the first time. The chicken cutlets are huge and freshly made. I enjoy the pepper seasoning with mine. So fun to order and eat while walking around.

    I love the chicken here!!!! This place is always a go to when I'm in the area. Chunky Boss has self service kiosks to allow you to place your order quickly. The chicken is cooked to order but the wait isn't too bad. There's seating inside & outside, but I decided to sit outside as it was a lovely day! The chicken is very flavorful and the sauce options accompany it very well. Definitely stop by to try this place, you won't be let down!!!

    By far the worst fried chicken I ever had. Super soggy and not good at all. I order a cutlet combo with a boba. The only thing that was good was the boba from Tiger sugar. So so so bad Will not be coming back for the fried chicken, but will be coming back for boba ONLY!

    See all

The interior was extremely clean and well kept and the workers were so kind and helpful. They continuously came to our table and asked if we needed anything else and even refilled our drinks for us. It was definitely something I wasn't expecting at a McDonald's. We ordered in a Kiosk which was very easy to use and similar to any other McDonald kiosk. But what made this specific location unique was that it had items from other countries. I think this menu rotates throughout the year but when I went, I got the samurai burger from Malaysia, the winter fries from France, and the Mcpops! I also got a McChicken because you can't go to McDonald's without getting one of those. The samurai burger was good but it honestly tasted like a gyudon bowl in a burger. The winter fries were so addicting an really tasty. The McPops were honestly underwhelming. It's definitely worth trying if you're there but it's not anything special.

The service is very welcoming and family oriented. We ordered three steak tacos and one steak huarrache. My boyfriend said the steak tacos were decent. They did bring them out pretty quick and I don't think they were as fresh as they could've been. My order of the steak huarache came out a few minutes after he received his food. My meal was fresh and delicious. The steak was seasoned perfectly. It was not overly greasy. The cheese was delicious. The beans were the perfect texture added onto the base of the huarache. The huarache was a bit more tougher in texture, but it held up very well with everything loaded on top of it. I enjoyed it! I will absolutely be coming back. The sauces were good too. The ambience of this place was very chill. You can relax enjoy your food slowly if you want. I highly recommend stepping out of your comfort zone when ordering they do have all sorts of different types of meat & entrees to choose from. Diversify your pallet.
