Tried Chunky Boss in Chinatown for the first time, and overall it was a solid experience. I ordered the chicken cutlet, which was served hot with a nice, flavorful seasoning. The meat was juicy--not dry at all--which was a pleasant surprise.The service was a bit on the slow side, but the staff was friendly, and the wait wasn't too bad considering the small space. The sign says "famous chicken chop," but what I got was more of a cutlet--maybe I missed the chop option, or that's just what they call it. Not necessarily a spot I'd rush back to, but definitely worth a try if you're in the area and craving some crispy, well-seasoned chicken. read more

My kids and I have always wanted to try this place. We came in during a weekday afternoon and found it be semi-busy. It took a good 7 mins before I could get counter service because the woman at the register was both taking orders and putting them together. Not sure what the other staff member was doing, but sure wasn't trying to help. It took some time to get our order. The family combo came out fresh. The chicken and the fries were hot and crispy. While good, it's not something I would go out of my way for considering how slow the counter service was. read more

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. read more

[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? read more

CHUNKY BOSS - chicken cutlet - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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. read more

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! read more

CHUNKY BOSS - Sweet chili chicken filet - Fast Food Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

GET READY FOR CHUNKY The chicken is bold and delicious. It's the perfect bite. The chicken comes in cutlet, sandwich, chicken fingers, and chicken popcorn. It is also conveniently located inside of the Tiger Sugar store front. You can always order a combo meal that includes fried chicken, fries, and a Boba tea drink. The menu is really simple. They offer delicious juicy fried chicken. I love that I can order just a chicken cutlet in a paper sleeve. How cool is that? No bun just delicious boneless chicken. It comes in two varieties: Crispy and Sweet Chili. I loved both. The sweet chili really stood out for me. You can even enhance the fired chicken by adding powders. The available options are original, classic pepper, spicy, cheese, plum, makauy, or curry. I loved the spicy powder but I always like my food spicy. There's also dipping sauces available. The mango was my favorite. It went great with the popcorn chicken. The fired chicken sandwich is huge. The giant chicken breast just hangs over the edge of the bread. It takes several bites before you even reach the bun. It is this type of meat to bread ratio that I love on a sandwich. It comes with a honey mustard sauce which adds a nice flavor to the sandwich. This is the second location for this delicious Taiwanese fried chicken. The first US location is in NY. The chicken is locally sourced in the US and they pride themselves on servicing a juicy chicken breast. According to Chunky Boss, size does matter and according to their motto. It's Chunky or Nothing! read more

Chunky Boss shares a space with Tiger Sugar and although there are two tables inside they will most likely be occupied by those waiting for pickup orders. There are several kiosks inside to place your order and there are separate pickup areas for Chunky Boss and Tiger Sugar. We went on a Saturday evening and it was pretty crowded and dirty. I peeked over and watched the worker preparing the food. I was appalled that he used the same gloves to handle the raw chicken and the packaging for the cooked chicken. Hubby and I both had the crispy chicken cutlet with cheese powder and ordered a popcorn chicken for our child. The chicken was crispy but could have been cheesier. I probably wouldn't come back just because I was disgusted by how dirty it was and poor food handling. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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!!! read more

A 20 minute wait and $15 for the worst chicken sandwich I've had in Chicago. Chicken was undercooked (somehow) breading was flavorless, and the "sweet chili" was just a dab of Mae Ploy on top. Cannot stress how much you should not waste your time and money on this read more

This was a terrible experience. The place especially the Chunky Boss side of the establishment was dirty and unkept. The chicken is where the real nightmare began. Tough, greasy, and nasty. Was not sure if it was actually undercooked. I ate literally 5 percent of the chicken and threw it away. $13.00 tossed into the garbage. read more

Chicken was nice and hot! My one caveat was that we had to pay extra for a tiny cup of sauce. Since the chicken is so big, a friendly suggestion would be to increase the sauce you provide to your guests. Also it would be helpful to provide more napkins as well! read more

I had been looking forward to this and I am so very disappointed. My chicken sandwiches was undercooked and I hope I don't get sick from it. I took it back and they redid it and it still was bad. They have no other options for drinks other than Boba There were flies inside all over place, which is very annoying and troublesome read more

Wanted to love this but the food tastes SO artificial. Like whatever powders they put on the fries and the chicken.. just taste like chemicals read more

ordered with a kiosk and left a tip even though no one directly served us. got our number and sat to wait. it was over 20 minutes of waiting in this stifling hot dining room, with only one AC unit above the door that was held wide open. but went up to the counter cuz this was supposed to be a fast place and it wasn't crowded, to find that they "forgot about [our] order." to be fair they did say they were going to work on it immediately, they did still take 10 min to get it out to us. taste was alright but def not worth the price and/or the wait. read more

Overrated. Saw it on Instagram and wanted to try it. Very confusing to order at the store. Staff not helpful or friendly. Chicken cutlet was way too thick. It had good crunch though. read more

I came here about 9pm with two of my friends. Tables were dirty first red flag. Its late tho so we give it a pass. we had seen tiktoks/instagram posts im sure you all have seen hyping up this huge delicious looking chicken..... well this is not a sponsored post like those ima be real with you. i ordered the sweet chili chicken sandwich, picture shows it fully covered and coated in sauce right?, but you get it and its hardly sauced. I got the combo which comes with boba and fries which is cool but they don't give you many choices for the boba, not the end of the world. Got the lychee black tea iced was mid nothing special not bad not great. Also got fries and holy sh*t did i wanna puke. Not gonna lie they were hard to keep down the sandwich itself was a little sweet cause they didn't put much sauce if they did it woulda probably made it worse cause the fries were 10x sweeter cause they are seasoned with sugar on them for some reason. If you weren't diabetic you'll leave here with type 2 and if you are diabetic prime that insulin pen or you'll leave in a stretcher. There is no balance of sweet and savory here its all sweet i ordered the mango special sauce because on the sign out side it said mango hot sauce no commas so i thought it would be just that a mango hot sauce but no it was just mango to add more sweet to your already too sweet meal. When of my friends actually ended up puking when she got back to her apartment it was so much. But back on track you order on kiosk workers were doing there own thing only time they interact with you is calling your name when your food is done. (Im not a big people person so i don't care too much about that but some people do so ill put it here). Chicken sandwich wasn't huge like they hype it up to be. It was decent sized tho. all the food was hot and fresh so they did that right but personally for me i would not recommend it unless you are into super sweet tasting food but China town has way too gems to be going here IMO. Hope this helps you all and remember this is just my opinion/experience maybe yours will be better, best of luck read more

Chicken done right, cooked on order. Large chicken steaks, cooked right, excellent seasoning.

Overpriced but its a tourist trap so i get it. All the stars are for the actual nugget. Twas delicious. But be forewarned.... This place has like ZERO sauce for your newborn baby sized nugget. Staff was nice enough. Hands off because you order from a touchscreen kiosk. Crowded and room for maybe 4 groups of a few each to sit at small tables. read more

So I like the food but their owner is a petty person. I won their opening day contest of being one of the first 5 people to purchase on opening day, something that was repeated on day 2 as well. I was given a card with my name on it handwritten and they took a photo on my picture ID. I get a free meal once a week for 1 year. The first month and a half I show up and give them my ID and order my food. The owner is now making it mandatory "her own rule not corporate" to have to have the card with me when I come to order. The back of the card states that the only requirement is to have a valid ID and to present it when redeeming my weekly prize. She is trying to make it harder for me to redeem the prize having to have a card that is showing wear and only has been 3 months. She is trying to make it so I can not redeem this to I am sure save money on something that is clearly a corporate mandatory prize for all franchisees. Once I am done with my prize I am not going back. read more
