Back home I've tried southern chicken, soul food chicken, Viet chicken, you name it. This place is some major competition. I was initially worried because you go downstairs into this place. But it is cool on a hot summer day, and well, there's a LOT of seating. But we still had a 5 minute wait at 12:45pm. Not such a long wait. First off, customer service is unbelievably awesome. Everyone tends to you and gets your order in immediately. Drinks were on our table in the first five minutes of sitting down. Orders were taken one minute later, and we were eating within 15 minutes. 15 minutes!!!! So... Mac n cheese. Yum. Coleslaw. Yum! And the chicken just falls off the bone... I grabbed one with my fork and it just started to fall apart. So that was already tantalizing me. Then when I put a piece in my mouth... ugh!!!! The herbs and flavors!!! I couldn't believe it. I have had a lot of chicken in my life and travels. In as many as 20 countries visited, this chicken is hands down the best I have ever tasted. Guys, I've been to many bbq joints in the Midwest and southern US. This place is unreal. So, if you're visiting say, the British Museum, walk on over to this place. You will not be disappointed!! I'd write more, but I gotta go!!!

I…read morehave to say that I'm always wary of popular hangouts, such as Bone Daddies, Tasty Burger and Tram Shed. The latter, for example, did in my opinion not live up to the hype that they'd generated. (Good PR, but no substance really.) Chicken Shop was another place where I'd heard so much about and so I finally had to give it a try. It was a Thursday evening and we were quite early and so ended up getting a seat right away. (20 minutes later, there had already formed a substantial queue.) It was just the two of us and we chose to be seated at the bar. In fact, this is what I'd recommend to everyone, as you can watch how the chicken get grilled, chopped up and sent off to their respective "owners". What really convinced me of this place is the chicken, which was perfectly marinated, juicy, charred to perfection...and the sides and condiments that came along with it, were complementing it nicely. I have to say, it's not cheap, as you order the chicken and the sides separately, but then again the taste is worth it. I also really liked the decor and I felt super comfortable. Somebody had really thought about how to turn a dark basement into a livable and exciting space. (It's definitely part of the hipster family, but that's alright ;-) On top of that, I thought our waitress was just too sweet and so my overall experience was very positive. I can, however, see that this might not be the perfect place to hang out with a large group. It gets really crowded and so the staff might be quite keen to get you in and out of the establishment as soon as possible. My recommendation: go to the Southampton Arms about 300 yards away. It's a very cozy pub. Tip: If you live nearby, order the chicken to take-away and enjoy it from the comfort of your sofa! Beware to not drip the juices on the fabric though ;-)

Those of you eagle eyed readers of my reviews will note that my Yelp secret is that I like KFC…read more I've even made a special trip to Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc restaurant in Napa Valley specially for fried chicken night in my quest to find the best chicken ever Hence, my excitement at the recent plethora of chicken places opening up in London to offer choice amongst Nando's and cheap KFC wannabe fried chicken shops At Yelp Ramen Club 6.0, Andrew M, Rob H and I concocted an excuse to visit Chicken Shop in Kentish Town - the fact that we like eating chicken! Andrew M kindly set up the UYE and yesterday, a group of 12 hungry Yelpers and friends descended (literally) on the Chicken Shop for lunch As noted in previous reviews, it's the most obvious signposted restaurant, an irritating trend I've noticed with new London restaurants. Anyway, there's a discreet sign on a flowerpot and yesterday, they had a Chicken Shop bag tied to the door handle. In case, you're still struggling, they're located under Pizza East or you can just follow the smell of roasting chicken like Andrew did yesterday! You then descend into the basement where you'll find a roomful of patrons tucking into spit roasted chicken. The simple menu is available on the menus on the walls to peruse and salivate over if you're waiting for a table The open plan kitchen allows you to see the whole chickens being spit roasted though the smell wasn't as strong as I expected in the restaurant - perhaps they're pumping it outside to attract more customers! Seating is available at the kitchen counter or tables Ordering is easy - you decide whether you want a quarter, a half or a whole chicken. 4 sides are available - chips, corn on the cob, coleslaw and salad of buttered lettuce and avocado. Hot sauce and smokey sauce are available on the table Eating in a group enabled us to order everything - yay! The chicken arrived commendably quickly but when you serve 400 covers in not the largest space, turnover is important. The spit roasted chicken comes in a tin plate with a wedge of lemon to squeeze over it. So, where does it fit in the pantheon of great chicken? The chicken is definitely juicy but the marinade flavour doesn't really penetrate that far from the skin into the meat My favourite side was the corn on the cob. My least favourite were the chips which weren't that interesting. The coleslaw wasn't drowned in maynnaise which was good My favourite part of the meal was in fact dessert. Once again, we were able to share the 3 desserts on offer. There was a very deep filled apple pie, which was served out of the pie dish at the table with the waitress. The lemon cheesecake was lovely and light but zingy. The chocolate brownie was velvety and chocolatey. They all came with ice cream and cream - when you're offered ice cream, cream or both as an accompaniment, there can only be one answer! This was a great way to spend a Sunday lunchtime - with Yelp friends sharing good food. However, as this place is called the Chicken Shop and I can only give the chicken 4 stars out of 5, it has to be an overall 4 star rating

Being on our fourth day in London we had already explored a lot of the Buckingham Palace area and…read morewere heading to Drury Lane to see a show. Using Yelp as our guide we discovered Chicken Shop and couldn't have been happier. The downstairs restaurant had a different feel to it, like we had found a secret place away from the crowded streets above. The ambiance had a very rustic feel to it, with unfinished wooden walls and wooden tables and chairs. We were seated immediately (Sunday afternoon is a great time to go) and the service was spot on. Our waiter quickly went through the simple menu with us and made some recommendations based on our family size. The menu is structured for family style dining, with lots of shared main and side dishes. For a family of four we got a half a chicken and three sides (two mac and cheeses and fries) and there was more than enough food for us. The chicken was moist and seasoned so that you didn't need anything on it (but the sauces on the tables were tasty) and the Mac and cheese was homemade with additional parmigiana cheese. The fries were standard but went well with the garlic mayo that they provided. After the main meal we ordered the deep filled apple pie and chocolate brownie (which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and heavy cream) and both were out of this world, freshly made and a great topper to the meal. Highly recommend this place for a quick lunch, a longer dinner with friends or family, or even for take away. The prices won't break your wallet and the food is fresh and delicious. The servers were very attentive and helpful and if I am ever in London in the near future I will definitely be coming here again.

They offered thighs chunks and breasts. I ordered the breasts. They came out super piping hot in a few minutes and they call your number to pick up. There is nowhere to sit down and there is zero ambience. You pick up your chicken and then you go eat it in the street outside. The breast is flattened and extra crispy and was definitely good. I would prefer a table to sit out but that's not the way Chinatown rolls. No matter what time you walk past this place there's always a line. Give it a go.
