A friend of mine had been talking about this fried chicken place, boasting that it was different from any other chicken place I knew about. I did not know what to expect, but I am glad I tried this place. Shawn's Chicken is a ~Chinese~ fried chicken joint featuring classic choices of spicy or regular chicken. My friend ordered the 3 piece spicy combo and I ordered the 2 piece regular combo. I think the prices are average - the 2 and 3 piece are just a dollar apart so it's probably more value to just get the 3 piece combo. The chicken is prepared fresh on the spot. The skin is very crispy and delicious! There is also a faint seasoning in both the regular and the spicy chicken that makes it quite unique. I can't put my finger on what that flavour is but it's distinct and very Chinese haha. The meat inside is tender and juicy, perfect all around. There are a couple bar seats to dine in but generally I can see people taking it out to eat for the most comfort. I will be back! read more

The axe chicken is a huge fried chicken thigh. Very crunchy and meat very juicy. Very mild in terms of flavor. Great for ppl trying to avoid excess salt but want fried chicken. Easy to navigate parking lot but usually pretty busy. Enter Shawn's chicken from the parking lot (it is not inside the food court). read more

Very juicy chicken with a blend of nice Chinese spice flavoring on the chicken skin. I definitely prefer this fries chicken over a kfc or churches. I tried their half and half and both the original and spicy version taste about the same, but just one is spicy as the other isn't. read more

As a fried chicken lover, I really enjoyed the fried chicken from this Chinese spot in Richmond! All of their fried chicken is prepared fresh when you order, & boast crunchy & crispy batter with plump & juicy meat! They often have promos where you can get a free gift with a family or combo meal purchase. I also like their juicy chicken burger & fizzy lemonade soda. Overall a great spot for fried chicken if you're looking for something different from the usual Korean fried chicken. read more

Ordered the 4pc to-go and the chicken was fresh and juicy even eating it 25mins later! The skin was crispy and not too oily. One thing that is special about Shawn's fried chicken is that they remove most of the bones in the chicken thigh so there was so much meat and it was easy to eat. The spicy chicken has Chinese style spice powder on the outside. Overall a great alternative on par with getting Church's Chicken or Jollibee but with a Chinese twist. read more

2026.01.10. Shawn's Chicken is quite good, not overly greasy, nice taste. I order their middle wings joint six pieces CAD 10, original flavor, or plum if I can get it. Credit cards accepted, allow ten minutes for your order to be ready. Highly recommended. Free WiFi. read more

I can't look over the fact that my chicken burger seemed very lightly cooked. It tasted ok and I did not get sick but it tainted my experience. I would have otherwise gone for a "4" I went here because I follow a food blogger that rarely steers me wrong and to be fair, I got a chicken burger, not just the plain chicken which is normally my thing. I went for the spicy and found the flavours decent but not super complex. I would only go back to get the chicken by piece, the burger was nothing special. read more

Juiciest Chinese Fried Chicken in Richmond. Their chicken is a well-known specialty snack that started in Beijing in the 1990s. What sets them apart from other places is that they marinate with 20+ different Chinese herbs to remove the smell of meat, enhance the flavor, and add extra moisture before deep frying. You can taste the distinct flavour & can get it spicy if you prefer. I tried some of their food: - Axe Chicken, Spicy $9.95 - 3 PS Chicken $14.95 - Fried Chicken Wings, Spicy, 3PS $9.95 - Chicken Burger $8.75 - Popcorn Chicken, Plum Sweet $4.95 - Regular fries $3.95 - Yam fries $5.95 - Plum juice $3.75 - Lemonade $3.75 It's a worthwhile fried chicken spot to check out! My fave items were the Chicken burger and Axe chicken. read more

What's cool about Shawn's place is they've got loads of choices. I tried the Axe Chicken Combo, Chicken Burger Combo, Chick Wings, and Chicken Popcorn. Each was a whole new flavor adventure. And having Plum Juice and Lemonade with the food? Perfect combo! Those drinks just made everything taste even better. This location is just a takeout place, their service was really fast. We got our order ready within a couple of mins. Overall, it was an amazing experience! read more

Shawn’s Chicken - a tray of fried food - Food Court Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Got a chance to visit Shawn's chicken located in Richmond! Located next to the empire centre this little plaza has everything from parking, to grocery stores. Shawn's chicken is a hidden gem to me because who knew such a delicious fried chicken store was right in this plaza! It's close by to Parker place and within walking distance of Aberdeen centre! Their famous bigger than your face fried chicken leg lives up to the standard, this place does not disappoint! The huge portion of chicken and wings made me so full and wanting more, I'll definitely be back. surprisingly, they are open till 1am (except closed on Tuesdays) to satisfy your needs. Here are some of the things I tried: -AXE chicken (super huge definitely recommend) -chicken wings spicy (whole winglet is fried!) -2 piece chicken leg original (so juicy and tender!) -1 piece chicken thigh (spicy like sichuan pepper that is available for burgers!) -popcorn chicken (plum sweet is so good but there's original and spicy option too) -French fries and yam fries (yam fries are super soft) -plum juice (more on the sweet side) and lemonade soda (very refreshing and sparkling, carbonated drink!) read more

Shawn’s Chicken - Axe chicken - Food Court Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

We're about making healthier choices, usually steering clear of deep-fried chicken skin. But get ready for ' to change the game! Nestled in a cozy corner at Empire Center in Richmond, this gem hails straight from the heart of Beijing, known as (永顺炸鸡). Here's the secret: they marinate their chicken with over 20 different Chinese herbs. This not only banishes any meaty odours but also elevates the flavour and adds a burst of moisture before taking a crispy plunge into the fryer. Prepare to be amazed - the skin is incredibly crispy (yet not oily), and the meat stays tender. We're used to ordering KFC for parties or movie nights, but now, we're considering replacing it with CFC - Chinese Fried Chicken! We indulged in their Family Pack and their Fried Chicken Wings, opting for half and half (half original and half spicy). The spicy option is a must-try for spice lovers (on the milder side), but the original is just as great, letting the chicken flavour shine through. To wash it down, we paired our meal with plum soda (slightly too sweet for our taste), but it's a unique twist to try with CFC. Trust us; Shawn's Chicken is a crispy revelation you don't want to miss! Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: Eatery Kids: 4/5 Yay! They have a non-spicy flavour. Presentation: Parking: Tips: * accepts online ordering at shawnschicken.ca * can order original, spicy, or half-and-half flavour. * stay open late. Late-night cravings? No worries! * have 4-seat bar bench or outdoor options. * cook fresh and hot, wait time 10-15 mins - TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT! Would I Return: Yes ‍ read more

Best fried chicken i ever had. Like it more than Jollibee and Church chicken. My friends seems to like it more too. We ordered both from church and shawn. read more

This place is hidden in a corner near Parker Place. It only has bar seating that can accommodate 7 people. We came around 9:30 pm and unfortunately all the chicken pieces were sold out except the Axe Chicken, chicken burgers and popcorn chicken. We ordered the original Axe Chicken which was an oversized serving, Sichuan Pepper Burger, Spicy Burger, fries, and Spicy Popcorn Chicken. We ate there. The Axe Chicken was soooo juicy and it had super crispy and crunchy skin. The burgers were the same, just delicious and freshly cooked! Our orders took 15 minutes but it was worth it. The fries were good too. I'm glad we found this place. We used to go to Church's chicken but the quality of their chicken is the worst now so I'm glad we discovered Shawn's Chicken!! And Shawn's Chicken is open until 12 am! They also accept credit cards! A must try. read more

Shawn’s Chicken - Spicy flats and 3-pc meal combo with fries - Food Court Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

This was like the fried chicken version of Taiwanese popcorn chicken with a bit stronger curry taste. The chicken was crispy and mostly importantly not dry. read more

This spot was very unassuming but surprised us in a good way! Very small shop, with just 4 bar seats. We tried the chicken wings, Axe Combo, & 3pc Combo. This allowed us to try the different 'cuts' - including the wings, thighs, drumstick, and leg. Each were done extremely well, from the seasoning, the breading, the tenderness, and the crispiness. The plum soda and lemonade are made in house. We preferred the lemonade more but this is strictly subjective. Price points are competitive and very affordable. Overall, would highly recommend and will definitely be back! read more
