Fried chicken spot run out of a permanent shipping container. There are always people but the wait is never long, staff is nice and cheerful, prices are accessible for most.
XL style fried chicken was great, had an almost cinnamon flavor, super juicy with good exterior crunch. The pork and chicken bao were also really good. Didn't try any of the teas but many people were getting them.
Highly recommended, near many of the universities, fast and easy, not expensive.
A good place for some lunch takeaway/ afternoon snacks with heaps of options.
The Chicken Bites were flavoursome and super crispy.
The Kumara fries were yummmm, well fried and coated with sugar.
Pork prawn and chive dumplings were juicy and tasty.
Overall happy with everything ordered. The wait wasn’t too bad and staff was alright.
Awesome drink and food, authentic Taiwanese style, especially deep fried chicken fillet. Amazing.. Similar ones you buy in Sydney Asian eateries. Try it out. The only down side of this pop up Eatery is that there is a bit of wait during peak hours but nothing undercover, so cen be windy and cold if its not a sunny day.
I came by and got some takeaway. I had a bubble tea as well as the bento meal. I quite like their fried chicken. Nice flavours and really crispy. I wasn't a big fan of the pork belly since it was a bit dry. The food did have to travel a bit so that might have affected the quality.
It is a nice place to grab some food and/or drinks.
For some reason held back from going here despite walking past it almost every day which I regret. The wait took awhile despite it being at off peak hours but it’s definitely worth the wait. I had a go at tasting the chicken bites deluxe and the 101 Bao bun. Both were incredibly tasty and well-priced. For the chicken bites I highly suggest pairing it with Peri peri as it added a small hit of spice at the end which made it extra savoury 😋. The bao bun was okay and the pork belly itself that was put inside was pretty dry from my experience. I would still suggest giving Kai eatery a try at least once or twice if you happen to walk past! I’m keen on returning again on the walk back to uni 👍
Had the Korean sweet chilli flavoured wings, they are CRISPY and super saucy. The guy was super generous with the portions. Amazing! Would highly recommend.
The chicken bites were juicy, and right heat. That’s the fried chicken which I love. The traditional Taiwanese fried chicken is my favorite.
Service was quick and straightforward. The XL Chicken flavours were tasty and perfectly spicy for me. I give it a 4 because the chicken was crispy on top but bit soggy on the other side due to oil not being dripped off the chicken completely.

For the record, this review is mostly entirely based on their sweet potato fries (for now; I’ll definitely be returning to try out the entire menu🤤) - but these fries? The best I’ve ever tasted in Auckland and I’ve tried a lottttttt of sweet potato fries here.
They were soft and fluffy on the inside, but crisp and crunchy on the outside and they were seasoned in such a way that angels were singing overhead in that the seasoning and batter went so so perfectly with the sweetness of the potatoes and just wow wow wow, 15/10 for the fries alone.
My friend had never tried bubble tea before so played it safe with the mango smoothie; I like the container that they put it in but it was icy, and watery milky, and probably wasn’t a good idea for the bipolar weather in CBD today. Probably would never get that again.
Also just wish they gave more fries bc I’m a hungus and your girl likes to eat😩
I know some people (like me) don’t care about meh service bc I know how rough the service industry is, and most places only care about just the food being good anyway, but service was also super cute so yay!
It’s a solid 4.5 stars. The chicken bites delux was delicious and portion was generous.
Lost 0.5 stars because of the service ... I understood they were busy, but service still lacked a little. I also had to pay the paywave surcharge because they only place the machine behind the window for covid purposes I think ? It’s not the cheapest street food either but overall decent Taiwanese food.
The food stand offers incredibly delicious food that one could enjoy day after day without getting tired of it.
Their fried chicken, in particular, stands out as a delightful departure from what you'd find in other establishments, even in comparison to popular chains like K*C.
That said, it's worth noting that their original beverages fall short in comparison to the excellence of their food offerings.
First discovered this at the night markets, then found a store here! I really like the flavoring of the chef's special, and now they serve their tea in bottles too! So good ~

If you want authentic Taiwanese XL chicken, go elsewhere! If you want a good meal overall, this is a solid choice. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our xl chicken, bao, and kumara fries. We got spicy seasoning on the xl, it was tasty and the batter was five spicey, which I liked but my gf prefered the traditional spicy mix without the five spice, found on other xl chickens. Also, the The last/first time I had xl chicken was in Toronto at the Taiwanese chain hotstar and it was easily twice the size and not as expensive, which is a little bit of a let down. The kumara fries were amazing though; the coating was so crunchy with a dusting of something sweet like powdered sugar. Totally worth it I think, and you get quite a few, good to share with something else or enough for a someones snack. Got the hei hei Bao, the chicken was really crunchy and the Bao was really nice. My only complaint with it is the lack of sauce; it wasn't the most flavourful siracha mayo I've ever had, and there was hardly enough to taste it at all. Also had two super thin cucumber slices on it that were laughable.
