The service attitude was extremely bad. The chef didn't see my order. The long-haired woman at the front desk even said that the chef didn't see it. She didn't even apologize. She was initially told to wait for ten minutes, but she waited for twenty minutes before I got the message. It didn’t take my order at all, which is great!

[Update: August 24 2024]

- What do you know? New members spend $30 or more and get $10 off, plus the additional 15 or 20% off ??? Membership is free.

- order online and get 15% off. Walk-in gets 20% off.

- they will send you SMS the estimated time your order will be ready ???

- recommend buying one flavour each order. They don't label what flavour their chickens are if you buy two or more flavours. You will be scratching your heads what flavours they are.

- the meteorite chicken wings were pretty good, although we will not order it again. It's kinda pricey for a mid-wing, costing at least $2 each.

[August 18, 2024]
- Chirpyhut is one of the best deep-fried chicken restaurants in GVA, far better than KFC or Popeye's. Everything is made to order, not precooked and warmed under a heat lamp like KFC or Popeyes's.

- We ordered the $37.99 8-piece "Drumstick & Thigh Combo." It also comes with a basket of freshly cooked French fries, a small container of mashed potatoes with gravy, and a can of cola.

You get to choose one of eight different flavors, including one mystery one called "含笑半步癲" or "Exclusive Flavor." Non-Chinese speakers would be clueless about the phrase; that's understandable. Even for Chinese speakers, not everyone has heard of it unless you are a Stephen Chow 週星馳 movie fan. ? But instead of "含笑半步癲," the movie uses "含笑半步釘." To know what it means, check out the movie "唐伯虎點秋香." A funny AF movie.

- We very seldom see anyone dine in for whatever reason. Most people appeared to have called ahead and then come to pick up their orders at a later time. We should have done that too, but we dined in this time.

- 20% off if you dine in or take out. No discount if you ask for delivery. Our $37.99 order after the 20% discount came out to $30.40.

- Honestly, the $37.99 price tag isn't worth it. There is a cheaper option: $6.99 for two drumsticks. Eight pieces will cost less than $28. Pretending that eight drumsticks are the same as four drumsticks and four thighs, that means the basket of French fries, mashed potatoes, and a can of cola cost $10? We can live without them. Next time, it will be drumsticks only!

- We should have asked for takeout because it takes 15-20 minutes to cook and another 5 minutes for the chickens to cooldown or it will definitely scorch our lips and mouths. It was extremely scorching hot. We should be able to immediately dig in after the walk home without the need to wait for 5 minutes. ?

- the chickens were perfectly deep fried. And the "pepper salt" was great! The pepper salt was sprinkled on the skin or batter. The meat inside was quite bland, though. We don't eat the skin, but we peeled the skin with our mouths, thus leaving some pepper salt on our lips. That way, the bland meat can have a little taste too.

- The counter lady was quiet but not without compassion. Seeing me looking around for napkins, she brought a stack to my table without me asking for it. Then, seeing we were finishing up, she came over and asked if we needed a takeaway box for the unfinished chicken. We said no, but she added, "It's free." We replied, "Thanks. No need. We live nearby." Unlike what others say, she was helpful, just not very talkative. Asian girls, quite understandable. ?

- We'll be back on a regular basis for sure!

The Black Meteorite chicken (spicy version) tasted so savoury! It’s smoking hot and juicy on the inside despite the charcoal-like exterior. It was well worth the visit, however I wish there were more for the price.
The server was very kind too. We were provided gloves and a sanitizing wipe for our convenience. The 20% discount for dining-in was the cherry on top.

Black meteorite wings 黑隕石雞翅 is cooked with spicy squid ink seasoning to give it the color.
Chicken Gristle 鸡脆骨 had multiple flavors to choose from.
The flavors was done well and skin was crispy with the meat still moist. Will definitely return on a game night to eat with beer ? take out

Parking was a bit of a wait in the small plaza ans the dine in area is small which is why I opted for take out

It's so slow that if you want to eat it, you have to wait 25 minutes for it to be cooked, and the waiter also takes his time.
