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.

By far the best chicken in Auckland! The meals are a good size and really great value. Tank is awesome! Def worth checking it out. I've been slowly trying everything on the menu and can't decide on a favourite as everything is just too good.

Google searched "chicken and Chips" near me while partner and I were out and about in that area, decided to stop in, didn't regret it. Got 2 dinner boxes and the chicken stayed hot and crispy all the way to Mairangi Bay! Fresh, and delicious! Will definitely be going again when I get the craving for some good chicken!

Chunky Chook makes some of the best crunchy fried chicken in the West! Reminds me of other chicken places in town, but closer to home (and just as good, if not better!).
Their chicken is really juicy and tender, with a really crisp battered crust. I do enjoy the flavours they bring to both the chicken patties (especially their spicy chicken burger) and the chips. Subtle but noticeable.
Always a great choice for lunch or dinner, and the amazing team there make it worthwhile.
