Hungry dinners have the option of customizing their chicken order based on three spice levels: safe, spicy and chemical for those who want the extra kick on their plate. Aside from the Waffle Plate, Bad Bird also offers the Corn and Coleslaw Plate (PHP330) which comes with a corn on a stick dusted with kewpie mayonnaise, cheese and bonito flakes, togarashi and kimchi coleslaw, while their Dirty Rice Plate (PHP330) features fried rice with bacon, chicken liver, tamago and bonito flakes with kimchi served on the side. Dinners have the option of ordering individual chicken pieces or any of Bad Bird’s Korean and Japanese-inspired side dishes.
Lines can get really long during regular meal hours and weekends, so diners can expect a 20-minute wait for the food. They currently does not accommodate take-outs or to go.
Probably the best thing about biting into a piece of Bad Bird chicken is tasting the savory flavor of the breading, mixing with the succulent meat inside. Often times served piping hot and fresh from the deep fryer, the chicken pieces complement the side dishes very well.
