Thunderbird Korean Fried Chicken on Cook st

I really enjoyed everything! The food especially the chicken was excellent, the workers were so friendly and nice. And coming from a Korean, this place sold better chicken than Korea! My brother quoted that “it was the most delicious meal he has had in Victoria” I would definitely recommend and will for sure come here again!

Delicious for years! We’re finally writing a review after six years of enjoying ThunderBird chicken. Definitely the best in the city based on our thorough judging. We always do takeout so I have no idea how it is inside aside for paying at the counter, it looks cute and the patio is dog friendly! food is incredible. The portions are fantastic and the pricing is more than competitive. Yay good food!

I have tried Korean fried chicken in many different restaurants, but the chicken I had here was the most memorable. Not only was it delicious, but what stood out the most was the friendliness of the staff and the warm atmosphere of the restaurant. The chicken was incredibly crispy, and unlike other places, it was cooked all the way through, which made me really happy. Thanks to this, I enjoyed my meal even more and had a great time interacting with the server. In particular, I felt that the atmosphere of this place had a positive effect on the customers as well. Compared to other restaurants, the guests here seemed noticeably brighter and happier, perhaps because of the friendly service and cozy ambiance. With both delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere, my experience here was truly satisfying. If I get the chance, I would love to visit again in the future.

The chicken here is absolutely delicious, especially the Honey Gold flavor—it’s sweet, savory, and perfectly crispy. On top of that, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place if you’re craving tasty chicken and great service!

The chicken tasted just like back home in Korea super crispy and full of flavor. John was really friendly and took great care of us. The croffle was a perfect sweet treat. Can’t wait to come back!

We had original fried chicken, snow cheese fried chicken, cro-waffle, apple slaw, popcorn chicken poutine. The kitchen offered complimentary cheese balls as well. Food was mostly pretty good. The original chicken was the favourite. Super crispy with a good amount of flavour. I also liked the cro-waffle. The dish our table disliked the most would be the snow cheese fried chicken. It was just too salty. It seems that they just take finished original fried chicken and sprinkle additional flavouring. That powder just sits on the crust unabsorbed. So when you eat it, your tongue pretty much absorbs all that powder first. The poutine was good. Though next time, I would order popcorn chicken separately as the sauce ruins the crispiness. The kids finished the cheeseballs so they must’ve been pretty good.

We ordered the Snow Chicken for the kids, and they absolutely loved it! It had a sweet, nutty flavor that reminded us of Injeolmi—so delicious. The half-and-half option was great since we got to try two different kinds of chicken. The adults went for the Pa-dak (green onion chicken), and the sharp, tangy kick was just perfect. They were also very generous with the green onions, which we really appreciated. The chicken had no unpleasant smell at all—just fresh and tasty. It was a perfect dinner! We also loved that the menu offers more than just chicken, like burgers and fried rice—lots of variety! It was so delicious, we completely forgot to take any photos! The best chicken restaurant! My daughter said, lol

The best chicken I’ve had in Victoria! Crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The staff were friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back!
