Monster Chicken Hagley

Yummy chicken if bought in the restaurant itself. Ordered on uber for the first time and it was disappointing. My order did not look like the one on the app. My order didn’t even have corns as expected for $26 on uber - totally not worth it.nnGood fries though

Visited last weekend and there was a handful of parking spaces available when got inside the interior looked clean, and there was plenty of tables available to choose from.nFor drinks, I ordered coke and a oreo milkshake. The milkshake came in a little mason jar, and oreo flavor was diluted with milk, so was pretty mid.nFor food I ordered the Monster Platter which includes 2 choice of fried chicken garlic and parmesan, 4 garlic bread, potato fries, cabbage salad, aioli and monster pickle.nThe chicken was delicious and flavorful and all the sides complimented each other. The only criticism I had was the pickle wasn't chilled, came out room temperature. Beyond the service being average, I left very satisfied.

We visited Monster Chicken in Christchurch and tried their Chilli Bang Bang Hot Korean Chicken and waffle fries. The chicken wasn’t as spicy as we expected for a “hot” option, but it was still tasty. The waffle fries were nice too. The place has good indoor seating and is worth a one-time visit to try something different.

OVERALL: 3-starsnWe dined here on Saturday night, April 19. This casual, family-oriented restaurant is not new to us, and it typically offers a good experience. When we arrived, the establishment was nearly empty, but it quickly filled up, along with the noise levels, which is to be expected. Therefore, if you are looking for a quiet spot to enjoy your meal and engage in conversation without having to shout across the table, this may not be the ideal choice.nnFOOD: 3-Stars for tastynThe portion sizes are usually generous and reasonably priced. However, we found the Garden Salad, priced at $14, to be quite disappointing on this occasion. For an additional $9, you can add a crumbed chicken breast, but what we received were just FOUR thin slices served alongside the salad. I almost asked for the rest of the chicken!nnATMOSPHERE: 1-star as music was too loudnConsidering the family-friendly atmosphere, it can get quite loud - this may not be suitable for those who are epileptic or sensitive to flashing lights. At one point, the music was excessively loud, which was quite unpleasant and uncomfortable for our epileptic person. However, since there was a birthday celebration at another table, it felt inappropriate to request a lower volume.nnSERVICE: 1-star needs improvementnThe staff could certainly improve their attentiveness. It appears as the restaurant gets busier, their focus shifts primarily to taking orders, delivering food and neglecting to refill drinks.

The chicken here is sooooo yummy, it is extremely flavourful!nnThe mango bingsu was also quite delicious, just make sure to share it with 2-3 people as it is quite a generous portion - unless you think you can manage yourself!!nnThe kimchi fried rice was also really yummy, the spring onion pesto was unique and added a nice flavour to it!
