Kyo Chon: Chicken Like I've Never Had Before

This post is really close to my heart as it is also close to my tummy. My all time favorite food since I was young was chicken. I remember one time when I was about 5 years old when I became sick and my mom attributed my sickness for not being able to eat chicken for 1 day, so they brought me to the nearest fast food chain with a fried chicken and ta dah, I became well. Clearly, as a Medical Doctor, I know that was impossible. But then I must say any chicken dish especially when cooked fried had been a personal favorite of mine and will forever be my comfort food. 

So when Kyo Chon finally opened it's doors in the country, my mom knew that she had to buy me one and have me taste it. But I just had to try to dine here and have the overall experience of this restaurant at its Robinson's Ermita Branch.

The Ambiance     4.5/5

We went to eat there for early dinner so the place was not that crowded when we arrived. It was not a fast food restaurant since there is this casual dining experience. We felt relaxed, at home and at ease with the surroundings. However, come dinner time, the place became packed and as expected the place was so noisy. Since the tables were close to each other, it was easy to hear the conversation of the table next to you without even trying.

The Food     4.6/5

The choices were limited and as expected contained mostly chicken dishes. I am a chicken lover so I had no problem with it. Here is the copy of their menu:

And these are what we ordered:

Galbi Chicken Steak with Kimchi Fried Rice     Php 280

Galbi chicken steak and salad     5/5     Good for 1 pax

Kimchi Fried Rice     5/5      Good for 1 pax

Single Honey Series     4.5/5     Php 149     Good for 1-2 pax

Potato Wedges      4.5/5     Php 150     Good for 1 - 2 pax

Plum Sparkling Tea and Yuza Sparkling Tea     4/5     Php 70 per glass

The Service     5/5

Service was great! From the time we entered the restaurant to the getting of orders, serving of food and giving the bill, everyone was efficient and fast. I have nothing more to ask.


The Budget     4/5

The price shown on their menu are inclusive of 12% VAT with additional 5% service charge. So our total bill was ~Php 760 for 2 persons having an average of Php 380 per person.


The Verdict     4.5/5

Being a chicken lover, I just felt that it's slogan was right! It is the chicken like I've never had before! Go and try it for yourself and tell me what you think.


Continuously enjoying a benign life,
