Chicken Star

A pretty good place to get Korean fried chicken. Chicken Star also has all of the sides that typically come with it, including some really tasty pickles.

I went with my friends to this place. I must admit it was a very good experience here. The personal are very friendly! The food were very delicious 😋 We all had different kind of food and everything was excellent! Also the tea 🍵 was fabulous. The atmosphere could be a bit more warmer…..

Came here for a late lunch after exploring Bishkek’s centre. Friendly service, unique menu and great flavours. I had the katsu burrito which was amazing! Thought the portion was initially small, but was proven wrong after eating it! I would definitely come back again if I was in the area! - Matt | @mattsnextsteps

Loved this place. Food was out quickly, tasted great. Delicious iced tea. Great service.

This was the first restaurant that I visited while in Bishkek and if it’s a sign of what is to come with other places in the city then I’ll be very impressed. From the moment I walked in the girls were super friendly & spoke English very well. I went for the classic friend chicken, home cut fries & a local beer all where great. I have to say the Korean spicy sauce was awesome. This place is super international & everything can be found in English, you can also come here just for a coffee too.

KFC upgraded. This place serves some really good korean fried chicken and korean food. First, the tteokbokki. Now this wasn’t really authentic tteokbokki, but rather their version of a contemporary rice cake dish. The Chicken Star version was closer to an Indonesian Gado Gado — coming with vegetables and a spicy peanut sauce that went well with the rice cake. Next, the fried chicken. You get a choice of whole cut chickens or the chicken breast (and others). We tried the 2 spiciest levels, and both were great. Be warned, however, that the spiciest level is indeed SPICY. It’s the same as the double-spicy budak. Upon successful “completion” of the spiciest level, the staff will reward you with some alternative milk cocktail that soothes your tongue. Lastly was the grilled cauliflower. This was a bummer. Honestly a little too hard and undercooked. Beer was good too. All in all, a great place.

Not sure if this place is affiliated with Chicken Star in Almaty but hey! Equally good. Thumbs up for the teokbokki, thumbs down for the cauliflower steak. Level 3 Korean spicy fried chicken was good. We got the half portion which we felt was enough for two. Level 5 was CRAZY SPICY. That’s a lot coming from two Southeast Asians. We were sweating and tearing and cursing. Not for the faint hearted. English menu was helpful. Staff is friendly and kind, even gave milk to my chilli-sweating partner.

This is the kind of place that makes very happy an average foodie like me. I just had the super delicious Lunch set A, which is varied and generous in size. Especial mention to the chicken breast and tokkochi. The caramel milkshake was also really good, perfect balance of chocolate and caramel (and I am a big fan of milkshakes). I could not resist trying also the honey cake, which was also wonderful. Very kind and attentive service and quite cool casual atmosphere. Having lived 7 years in New York, I could see this place rivalring with the bests of this kind. I will definetely come back to try more dishes, and wish long life to this place, to keep making happy more people like me!
