So you wouldn't be surprised to hear that WingStop has wings - and oh boy are they good!…read more We went for the garlic (and something) wings, mango and habanero wings, Korean tenders and (obviously) some chips. I felt like this was the perfect amount of food for 2 people to prevent any unwanted food babies and food sweats. Service was great! The guy at the till gave us an extra bottomless drink for free, but that have just been because we spent ages trying to choose which combination of sauce and spice and chicken we wanted (there is wayyyy too much to choose from!). Can't compete with the Brewdog across the road, mainly due to the lack of pints. It was also way too bright - kinda ruined the mood a little, felt a bit too fast-foody.

Nice place. Delicious wings and the location is very centric. Staff is friendly and kind.read more

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.

I live in South Carolina so I know my fried chicken…read more Prior to visiting the Coqfighter I had heard good things about it, but being in the UK I kept my reservations as to how good it can be. After visiting, I can say that it is undoubtedly the best fried chicken you can get in the UK, and rivals most fried chicken spots in the South. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The crunch was out of this world. Even though we were full, we kept eating because of how good it was. I don't know how they do it but it's perfect. A must visit if you're in London.

My food was good not necessarily flavorful but when you add sauce it made up for it. I can say I came here twice during my stay in London.

Also the restaurant is so cute and tiny I'd definitely recommend small groups or solo dinning.

Dine in would be best for solo diners, couples or small groups since it's not huge. They have an app that you can get and from the signage there are some deals you can take advantage of as well as special flavor offerings that are available for a limited time. We opted for the seven strip meal to share and it came with seven pieces of chicken, fries, a drink and two sauces. The food came out fast and was hot and fresh. The sauces didn't impress us too much, but the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It was a great portion for two people to share. The person who helped us was friendly and efficient and it allowed us to get in and out of the restaurant quickly.

Bf got chicken sandwich and he said it was really good, soft bun that holds well, nice and crispy well seasoned chicken patty with moist meat. He's also got chicken wings here before and said they were really good. I got 6 chicken tenders not realizing how big the pieces were going to be. The chicken was well seasoned, super moist even if white meat, nice meat to batter ratio, super Big Crunch. 4 different dipping sauces you can buy for 50p (mayo or ketchup free next to utensils) Bathrooms are fairly clean. Cucumber salad reminds me of a Korean cucumber salad of a bean paste but this one was sesame and I believe peanuts. Little salty little tang and nice fresh chunks of cold cucumbers. Very crunchy. Staff is nice and patient even though I couldn't really make up my mind. Would definitely recommend or go back if I'm ever in the area again

The workers…read morewere so so kind, and this place was so busy that my friend and I thought it would be a good idea after a long day of walking down Oxford st....but nope. We decided to go with the "spicy" chicken tender meal, which consisted of some "Cajun" spices being thrown on top of some already cooked regular tenders. It made the chicken so gritty, I was very disappointed. It was also $16 for that meal??? I understand it's a nicer area but for that quality that was beyond excessive. Definitely will not be coming back to this place next time I'm in London. Side note: I was here in February 2020 but have found myself very overdue to leave a review.

About 2 months ago, i went to a restaurant where I encountered a very painful and distressful…read moreexperience where I felt bullied. They took my phone to "repair" but until now, countless tries of contact them and i still haven't gotten my phone back. This is what happened. I was at Cookhouse Joe, SOHO brunch, on Monday (28 July) for dinner with my friend. It all went well until a waitress dropped a knife on my mobile phone and leg. The screen on my mobile phone cracked as a result the phone is not usable anymore, but fortunately for me, my leg was alright. The waitress immediately apologised and said that she will pay for the damages. I'm using a mobile phone that do not have an office in London and therefore no service centre. But after that, the manager told us that the restaurant will be responsible, however they could not offer any form of compensation as it was too late at night (9.05pm) because they could not get in touch with the boss. We then told the manager that the waitress offered to pay and there was no need to contact the boss. When we spoke to the waitress again, she said she will only pay for repairs but as I was using a Xiaomi phone, I told her that they didn't have a service centre in London and I need a phone as I didn't want to be uncontactable. She then asked us to give her a minute. We told them that I need a phone immediately or at least the next day as I am here alone and my family contacts me everyday to make sure I'm okay. So we suggested that they got me a spare phone or a new phone. Next thing we knew the manager came to us and shouted that "I already told you to come back tomorrow, and now you are making my waitress cry" and started chasing us out of the restaurant. While chasing us out, he sure didn't forget about the bill and demanded that we pay for the dinner before we leave. We called in the police but they mentioned that as this is a civil dispute, they could not get involved. We also contacted the embassy for advice but they referred us to the police, so we are back at square one. We went back the next day to get things settled during the time stated by the manager, as he said the boss will be around during that time. When we were there, all he told us was "the boss doesn't sit around" waiting for us to come. He also started calling us names like stupid and said that we were trying to blackmail / threaten them. I have never felt more threatened by a person! Not only was my phone damaged and unusable, my friend and I were bullied and insulted. I have a recording of him calling my friends and I stupid, at least twice because my friends posted a bad review online. He said that, "We can't be going into a restaurant and just expect cash like that." He also chased me out and said that I was trespassing his restaurant and that I wasn't to step foot in the restaurant ever again. He took my mobile phone and mentioned that because we didn't pay for our bill of 30GBP, they can only try to repair my 150GBP phone and won't guarantee until we paid. The whole experience has been seriously distressing and traumatising.

My male colleagues at work kept going on about this place that the wraps are "really really good"…read moreand also "Serena, you would love it!". Somehow I failed to believe them because they had recommended some places before and it fell short of my great expectation. Nevertheless, I did decide to try it. That week, I was craving Arabic cuisine but didn't want to go that extra mile. So, I took their advise. It is a cozy restaurant in a one way road, off Oxford street almost opposite "The Plaza". It is quite dim inside, with tables at the back and benches at the entrance. I ordered the lamb wrap and it was amazing. It was the closest I could get to authentic Lebanese food, the garlic sauce hit the spot. Memories of home kept flooding my head. Every table is treated to a bottle of something which at first, I thought was a bottle of wine! To my disappointment, it was just water... Good, keep customers hydrated! Pros: -Good for small groups -Quirky -Great food and lots of it! -Close to the high street -'Green man' pub just opposite Cons: -Slightly pricier meals on the menu but it's London. -There's not enough space in my belly to finish the food. -Can get very busy and packed. Advise: -Please do visit and try it yourself!

You don't want to see me eating those at home, where there are no strangers around - it's like a real festive season.
