kai eatery

boy this place did not disappoint! it was my first time that i tried kai eatery and got thexlfried chicken hot n spicy and it was truly the biggest juiciest tastiest fried chicken i have ever had. got that along with the peri peri fries as a combo and it was filling. very satisfying and definitely will go back for more.

update:

tried their originalxlfried chicken today.

it was exactly the same with what i tried in taiwan-- crispy outside and succulent inside. yummy like always.

one thing that stops me from visiting more often is the price-- $9 for a piece of large fried chicken is a bit pricey for students.





finally got to try this taiwan style chinese food. i think their signature menu is thexlfried chicken, but i've tried it multipel times at taiwan so i ordered something else instead.

the braised pork on rice: the diced pork belly (more like pork belly mince) is nicely braised in soy sauce, with some marinated green vege on the side. and normally there's some tofu in the bowl , but today they are out of tofu so the stuff offered a drum stick instead. it's very nice of him and i would like to go back to try the one with tofu on the side next time.

the taipei gua bao: hands down for this one! what a high quality and delicious bao! for me it's better than many restaurants & bars. the pork belly is melting in the mouth! and the vege is very fresh! super yum!

matcha& redbean bao: amaaaazing! it melted a bit on the way to home. but the taste wasn't affected by this! the deep fried bao was very crispy, and the matcha ice cream matched perfectly with the redbean.

the periperi chips& the latte were average, not bad, but not as amazing as those food i mentioned above.

service was very friendly.

would definitely recommend their baos!

the dish: fried chickenxloriginal + peri peri shoestring fries
will probably put me off the majority of asian fusion restaurants. the fried chicken, served in trulyxlservings, was much too sweet for my tastes. the bread-crumbing was weird again with an almost doughy texture underneath the crisp outer. the shoestring fries on the other hand were well done. a solid punch on the peri peri saltiness without overpowering spice. fries themselves were crisp but the texture was off - the interior of the fry seemed almost frozen but the flavour masked it and made up for it. value was average - large portions for a hefty price. overall, worth a try but beware the asian fusion taste.

absolutely adore thexlfried chicken 😍 huuuuuuge (like legit bigger than my face) piece of crispy, perfectly spiced, juicy chicken, served in an innovative package to keep hands clean. have had their chicken several times, in different forms, and never been disappointed. the menu looks exciting, so will keep returning and trying new stuff ❤

have been wanting to visit this neat food truck for a while, the aromas are so enticing.

finally tried the salt and pepperxlchicken today and my goodness! the flavours are insanely good with glorious texture.

essentially a huge slab of delicious, crunchy chicken, i was very happy with my purchase!

the container is great, too. you can tear off bits as you go, keeping your chicken accessible and hands clean!

in love with their chefs specialxlfried chicken and kumara fries!!! the chicken is so thick and juicy and the crunchy seasoning on the outside tastes so amazing! definitely my favourite fried chicken place!! they are so friendly too!
can't wait to try everything else!

first off, impressive and innovative packaging! i ordered the originalxlfried chicken and the taipei gua bao. fried chicken was xl-sized indeed, crispy and juicy meat inside. deliciously seasoned! taipei gua bao was amazing - the pork belly was so tender and it melted away in my mouth, perfectly complemented by the soft steamed bun, crunchy peanuts, and salted vegetables. it was around an 8-minute wait, but i was the only customer. service was amazing, the lady was upbeat and friendly and made sure i knew how to make the most out of the packaging. highly recommended!

finally got to try the popular kai eatery! thexlchicken is to die for! so crunchy and spicy 😋
next time will have to try a few of their drinks and the gua bao

nice and juicy fried chicken. best fried chicken ever! everyone should go. i lovexlfried chicken and kumara chips. so nice so yummy. great place!!!

this is the best place for me to have a afternoon snack with friends in city after uni. their signaturexlfried chicken is super good,especially their charcoal flavorxl🥰. also kumara fries is my favorite sides to go with the chicken. highly recommended kai eatery.👍

tried the famousxlfried chicken (in original salt and pepper flavour) + 1 layer drink combo (strawberry and mango smoothie). the chicken was tasty at first, but it gets too salty towards the end and the drink tasted nice, not too sweet, but there were still big chunks of ice so it’s not fully blended. anyway, would love to return and try their bao.

tried the famousxlfried chicken with chefs seasoning and kumara fries. both had the same type of addicting, sweet, savoury flavour. those kumara fries were life changing. fried chicken was tender and delicious, though a tad too oily.

we tried thexlfried chicken with chef’s special flavor, super yummy! we both love it, this is the best in auckland! will come back try more later.

we triedxlchicken + drink combo and rice bowl with pork belly.
nice food and generous portion. it will be great if we can have more comfortable seating, especially if you bring your kids along.
we will definitely come back if we are around the area.

i ordered the heihei bao but sadly i got the pork 😔 i still ate it but it was alright. it’s lacking with flavour but the pork belly is really nice. i wish they gave me the right order as i always come here and get thexlfried chicken 😊 i wanted to try something new but sadly got given the wrong order 😔
