Review: 4 Fingers Bonchon Crispy Chicken @ Ion Orchard

Excellent appearance, Crappy Service!


We were attracted by the appearance of the store and curious about how crispy it could actually be. So we ordered the 6 pc chicken, with half and half teriyaki/hot flavours (Soy garlic was out of stock). The guy who took our order had a "couldn't care less" attitude, there were 3 large bags of garbage placed right next to the chiller, and the kitchen (or what we could see of it) was a mess.

The decor was actually pretty cool, with LCD TVs, funky wall paper, fancy queue pager thingy and an interesting table with foldable chairs attached. I believe the concept was indeed quite a good one...

... But operational execution was seriously bad. We (and 3-4 groups before us) waited at least 15 minutes for our food! For a fast food outlet, that's really unacceptable. I should have been halfway through my food in that amount of time!

Food-wise, it was indeed super crispy, and I actually liked the spiciness of the hot wings (teriyaki - not so much). In fact the wings were so crispy they tasted like chicken wing flavoured chips! Not cheap though, $7.95 for just 6 pcs of drumlets/wings

I really hope the owners could look into cleaning up their operations, I will definitely not wait that long again. It'd be a waste to see a good concept go down without a fight.
