NeNe Chicken's menu offers a wide variety of deliciously marinated Korean-style fried chicken that’s crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! You can choose from our classic range or try something unique like snowing vegetables or bulgogi. Each piece is full of flavour, so we recommend pairing it with a side of cheesy mayo chips, Korean salad, or tornado potato! You’ll also love our refreshing drinks to quench your thirst.
Staff has given verbal assurance of halal status. From the management: 'The chicken that we source comes from a halal certified supplier and all of our stores have that certificate. If you wish to see it please ask for the manager and they would be happy to show it to you. Furthermore, none of our sauces, marinades, bastings or preparations contain any alcohol whatsoever.'

Avoid this store and go other store. The Issues: Food Quality & Safety: Upon taking my first bite, it was immediately clear that the chicken was not fresh. It tasted as though it had been pre-cooked days prior, and the sauce could not mask the stale flavor. Out of caution for food safety, I had to discard the entire order. Dismissive Management: When I called the store to report the issue, the male manager on duty repeatedly dismissed my complaint, stating that the chicken "looked fine in the photo." He ignored my explanation that the issue was the taste and freshness, not the visual presentation. Lack of Accountability: The store refused to issue a refund. While the monetary value is no longer my primary concern, the manager's complete disregard for customer feedback and food hygiene standards is alarming.
