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 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.

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.

Absolutely loved Oshin Fortune Fried Chicken. The chicken was insanely crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and packed with flavour — clearly made fresh and with care. Portions were generous, sauces were spot on, and everything came out hot and fast. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has a great vibe. Easily one of the best fried chicken spots I’ve tried — will 100% be back and recommending to friends.

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.

Real thai style fried chicken, okay the prices are high but that's standard for fried chicken in central london and this really stands out from the boring american style options. Deliciously seasoned wings with a slightly pickled tangy chilli sauce and the fries are amazing as well. Very friendly staff

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

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.

I absolutely loved the Bangkok Tofu Burger and fries! As a vegetarian, it’s not always easy to find a really good burger, but this one was absolutely amazing. The flavors were spot on, and the texture was perfect. It’s a must-try for any vegetarian looking for something satisfying and delicious. Plus, the location is great—easy to get to and has a nice vibe. Highly recommend!
