Fortune Fried Chicken’s Thai flavours are MIA - Review - London - The Infatuation

"Fortune favours the bold and, coincidentally, we favour fried chicken, which is exactly what you’ll find at this quick and casual Bangkok street food-inspired spot in Spitalfields Market. Fortune Fried Chicken’s menu is a medley of som tam dressings, pickle-crowned fried chicken burgers, and larb salads with, you guessed it, fried chicken. But outside of the nam jim dipping sauce, any Thai flavours are MIA. If you’re in the area, you should stop by for one thing and one thing only—the golden, crispy pineapple pie slice. photo credit: Heidi Lauth Beasley Food Rundown Fortune Fried Chicken Burger The rice flour coating on the fried chicken has a subtle crispiness that will speak to anyone who’s into a panko crunch, but this is one sad bun. And frankly, the watery salad is of a similar melancholy disposition that even, old faithful, pickles can’t save. photo credit: Heidi Lauth Beasley Fortune Fried Chicken While we’re into the crispy rice flour coating, the inside of this chicken is pretty dry. You’ll need to lean heavily on the tangy nim jam sauce for a flavour boost. photo credit: Heidi Lauth Beasley Pineapple Pie A pie with the sunshine spirit of a piña colada. We have mentally marked this dessert for the next time the weather is being British and we need a dose of fruity, fried sugar. It could be hotter, but so could we. photo credit: Fortune Fried Chicken" - Heidi Lauth Beasley

The food was delicious and I really recommend the chicken wings (originally style) nim nam Thai style. Very tasty. The ice tea goes really well with it. It’s a takeaway spot so be prepared to try and eat standing up. Can’t fault the quality of the food

The Nam Jim sauce is good, but more on the sweet side, it would benefit from balancing the sour and chilli heat. It was definitely not spicy even though the menu gave it a 2 chilli heat rating. That sauce doesn't cling to the wings as it's watery. I did have to return my initial batch of wings because they were bloody inside. Service was friendly and they made a new batch. Whole wings are notoriously difficult to cook because of the inside joint not getting cooked as quickly as the outer.

Really good fried chicken wings and tenders. Shake shake fries are a must too!

Absolutely delicious fried chicken i ever had in London. I ordered a spicy Bangkok burger and half fried chicken, and it was perfect in the test, quality, and quantity. The price list is also reliable. Highly recommend this place.

I went back twice more in the same meal. That’s it. That’s the review. Okay fine, more details: this Thai fried chicken is dangerously good. Shatteringly crispy on the outside, insanely juicy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned with that addictive Thai balance of salty, sweet, and just enough heat to keep you thinking about it hours later. I told myself I was done after the first serving. I lied to myself. Then I ordered more. Then—against all logic and self-control—I ordered it again. No regrets, only happiness. If you value your willpower, don’t come here. If you value joy, cancel your plans and order the chicken. I’ll absolutely be back (and yes, probably multiple times in one sitting again). 🍗🔥

I'm always keen to try out a new chicken place and walking through Spitalfields market, was pulled in by the 50% offer as this place has recently opened. Order the Spicy Chicken Burger and the Fried Half Chicken. Service was relatively quick though finding a space to eat in the bustling Spitalfields wasn't! The burger was indeed spicy but the sauce didn't have that much else going for it - analogous to a chicken shop burger sauce with more heat. The chicken burger itself was fine, not the juiciest and little flavour in the coating. The half chicken was juicier than the burger and cut up into handy bite size pieces. While the skin was recently crispy, there again was just no flavour in the coating. Or indeed the chicken itself. Very plain. The flavour was heavily reliant on the additions that were added on top of the chicken and the accompanying vinegar dressing which was indeed delicious. It was a good munch at half price but nothing special. However at full price it leaves a lot to be desired.

Ordered some tenders from the fortune team. I’v honestly never had such a good tenders! They serve it with a homemade chili sauce with is a perfect match! 12 out of 10 for them. Team is really welcome and efficient as well. Hardly recommend!

Tried this fried chicken spot recently. The fries were cooked well—crisp and hot—but surprisingly bland despite the heavy seasoning. The chicken itself had good flavor, but it was nearly undercooked and lacked the expected crunch. The breading was so thin it barely felt fried. A bit disappointing overall.
