We’ve made it a bit of a tradition to visit Chunky Chook weekly or at least fortnightly. It’s truly become our go-to comfort food spot. Their fried chicken is the ultimate treat: super juicy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside. It reminds us so much of Jollibee’s Chicken Joy, which is why we’ve been raving about it to our fellow Filipinos who are missing that nostalgic flavour from home.
What makes the experience even better is the warm hospitality. The owner, is hands-down one of the friendliest people we’ve come across. He’s always so pleasant, welcoming, and genuinely kind. You can tell he really cares about his customers.
Our favourite combo is the Dinner Meal (fried chicken with rice and mayo). If you’re craving a taste of home or just love properly done fried chicken, Chunky Chook is an absolute must-try.

Wow. This place truly was so so wonderful. I was visiting from out of the country and was unsure what to order. The owner was so helpful and kind. Truly a wonderful experience. In addition, the food was delicious!!! While in new Zealand I visited Auckland, Christchurch, Rotorua, Wellington, and Dunedin, and this was one of my favorite places I stoped to eat. Wonderful family owned restaurant. Definitely try the donburi.

Delicious takeaway shop for fried chicken! Tastes good but doesn’t make you feel sick like some fried chicken. Enjoyed takeaway to nice Te Atatu peninsula view for dinner.

The chicken is really nice! Must try the butter honey one! So tasty! Would definitely go back again! For the price is so worthy. I can even finish the whole one.

Delicious friend chicken and chips. Burgers are cheap and good quality. We travel from across west auckland to have this. Way better than kfc. I wish it was closer to us. Friendly guy on the counter that gives great recommendations.
