Since it was our first time there, we wanted to try different flavors. Asked for the sauces on the side so we could try each others and they readily agreed. Loved the different texture and taste of the batter. The fries were nice and crispy, though a bit over salty for me but fine for the rest of my family. The drinks were a nice palette cleaner as well. Will definitely recommend and come again if we're in the area!

Came her after being influenced in bloody Instagram.. but pleased we did. We had the original and the hot chicken and shared fries. Really filling, juicy chicken and nice and dry coating. Staff were super friendly. Will definately be back.. we spied the salad and the burger and they looked good

We ordered the the Po Boy sandwich- one hot and one Smokey. Both were so tasty. Chicken is easy to bite through which is good in a sandwich so it doesnā€™t get too messy. We also ordered the shoe string fries with cheese sauce- massive portion.

Upon entry you'll notice straight away the comic book theme. The restaurant is spacious and clean and depite the night time theme of the murals, the space was brightly lit.

With a huge selection of fried chicken flavours, a great selection of sides, if you wanna try a bit of everything, opting for the 'Tasting Box'.

We got the 'Blue Cheese' and 'Kimchi'. Both chickens came in considerably large portions and was served nice and hot. The oil was drained well and the outer layer was really crunchy! You could taste the creaminess and scent of the blue cheese in the sauce but the smell of the blue cheese was subtle as opposes to the strong smell blue cheese has. The 'Kimchi' fried chicken was layered with generous amounts of kimchi inbetween the chicken pieces. Despite this, the kimchi didn't end up too warm or soggy so as you take a bite of the chicken with the kimchi, you get a nice crunch and a good hit of coolness and freshness from the pickcled kimchi.

The combo comes with Hush Pupppies, Hand Cut Fries (all with their own dipping sauces) and a fresh salad which all paired well with the chicken as extra carbs and the salad was refreshing for when you feel like a break from the fried foods.

Overall The Coop is a great place for large group gatherings, for sharing and is definitely a place for a more upgrade version of fried chicken. They have a large range of options of Chicken that should be able to suit everyone.

I tried their original chicken, and the smokey chicken both were super delicious! And their fries was really great too. I was afraid that their chicken would be oily like all the places that serve fried chicken in the city but not at all! So it's safe to say that their fried chicken is the best !
And their staff are really nice and polite. I will definitely eat there again.

I've always seen this place when I'm in Takapuna, but because the lighting inside was so dim, I always assumed the place wasn't open. I ended up finding this place through Zomato and decided to come (not realising it was the same place).

The first thing I saw was one of the staff sitting on the sofa/couch chairs, he said hi, but we were served by another staff member behind the till. Odd but not really a big deal. The guy behind the till was really friendly and patient with us, and I also loved how the order numbers are written on the squeaky chicken toys (these ones don't squeak though which was a little disappointing but I can imagine how irritating it would get if they did). The place wasn't very busy - there was only one other table besides us, however, when we left the place was packed which was good to see.Ā 
We definitely ordered a little too much here for two people, but everything on the menu looked really yum, so we ended up getting what we couldn't finish as takeaway. The fried chicken wasn't all the same size, so we ended up with bits of juicy chicken and some slightly overcooked/dry pieces. I loved the hush puppies - they're like cornbread but in cute little bite-sized pieces. The chicken sandwich we got (Kimchi) was also quite good. I'd recommend getting one of their sandwiches to share + fried chicken or sides because it's quite filling!

Chose the tasting box for $45 to share between three as we werenā€™t that hungry.

Immediately gravitated towards Blue cheese dressing and the cashier recommended to try the Vietnam dressing which didnā€™t disappoint!

Worth the price minus the hush puppies which were on the stale/ dry side.

Nice place, surprised it wasnā€™t busier.

Had the Po-Boy (sandwich) with the Vietnamese chicken filling. Was hungry so hoped it would be enough, and it was!

Very tasty, great flavors, tons of crispy tender chicken pieces. Asked for extra chiliā€™s and I got them, nice and hot.

Will be back for another Po-Boy soon.

Saw these guys at the fried chicken festival a few weeks back but didnā€™t get a chance to try. Now it has been back to back weeks eating here! Lol. The coop has not disappointed me yet! I love my spicy fried chicken... and the spicy jerk chicken was on point! Blood orange iced tea, and breaded colliflower. The portions are decent sized, and their thick shakes look great! Great consistent service from the team there. Highly recommend.

Loved this place! Fantastic crispy chicken which remains crispy even after a trip to the microwave! The fries were yummy as well, and the salad was interesting with a little bit of kimchi on top. My friend thought the thickshake was way too thick- his straw got blocked at one stage- but I didn't try it, so no problems for me!!

I will definitely stop here again, delicious chicken, yummy fries. The staff are also very lovely, there was a problem with the pickles I ordered so he gave us fresh hushpuppies for free, even though I hadn't complained or even noticed a problem. The hushpuppies were so crispy and yummy.
Thank you for the delicious lunch!

Came here for lunch with colleagues and it was great - good, fresh chicken served with decently made sides, especially the salad. The Harissa was a favourite of mine.

You can tell this place is great for the evening takeaway, and given the proximity to the beach, that's not a bad idea either.

The Coopā€™s fried chicken is really tasty and a nice option for people who are gluten intolerant. Iā€™ve tried three flavours of chicken here (kimchi, original and harissa) and they are all really unique and tasty! Being a fan of fried chicken, you canā€™t taste that it is gluten free or skinless, it tastes just like fried chicken should taste. You donā€™t feel sick after eating this like you do with KFC. I also really like the Po boy, the ice teas, chips and milkshakes.

They have really tasty Jerk Fried Chicken that is tender, juicy and crispy. You also have options of different sauces if you were wanting a different flavour profile. They also have sides like chips, corn on the cob or hushpuppies. Ordered at the counter and was handed a rubber chicken with a number to take to a table.

I went with the original Jerk Chicken with the hushpuppies. The chicken is nice but not very spicy. The hushpuppies were nice with the corn and the chipotle mayo, and again it wasn't very spicy.

Friendly service and really tasty fried chicken is a good combination for a nice place for a snack or meal.

Okay. Letā€™s get straight to the point. Jerk chicken. This has been the juiciest jerk chicken I have ever had! Now, no one can ever tell me jerk chicken is supposed to be dry. We had hot wings which was too hot for my tastebuds, but it was too good not to finish it. My husband liked the hot honey chicken which he loved too much he did not want the night to end. My sister had kimchi chicken. The texture tasted weird (maybe because Iā€™m not a fan of kimchi) but Iā€™d still give it a 5 for the chicken. We didnā€™t even pay much attention to the sides because we were overwhelmed of the chicken. šŸ˜Š

Shakes. The first thing that caught my eyes is chocolate oreos & peanut butter. My husband loves both peanut butter and oreos so this shake felt like it was made for him. My sister asked if they could make her just chocolate oreos shake. And they did. My husband finished his first cup of shake even before he started eating the chicken. Then he ordered his 2 cup. They use crunchy peanut butter!! Crunchy peanut butter! I have never seen my husband so happy for a shake! Haha!

Ambiance. Itā€™s a nice cozy place to hang out with family or friends. I would say the place is instagram-worthy. šŸ˜Š

I would definitely be going back for another round of hot wings and try out other chicken flavours.

Went here with my sister and tried the $49 tasting platter. We got the chicken in original and franks and swapped out the hush puppies for corn. We were both very impressed as I am coeliac and my sister has pregnancy allergies, so GF and DF. The chicken was very good, preferred the original over franks as there was just a little too much sauce. The chips were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The corn was cooked perfectly and very sweet. The salad was ok, just nice to have some vegetables on the table. The staff were great and very welcoming. I am going back this week because I loved it that much!

The Coop Fried Chicken

Found through Zomato on one of the many lists on the app, this one being Fried Chicken in Auckland. Really grateful to have found the list and tried this restaurant.

Hot Friday evening in Takapuna time for interesting food. The restaurant was a little quiet considering the time but we entered anyway. We were warmly welcomed by the young man working there (off to a great start). Ordered placed with the young lady behind the counter (again very friendly). The work area is rather open which I like.

Two chicken dishes and two iced teas.
One blue cheese and one harissa. Both were excellent, the level of ā€œcrispynessā€ was superb and well seasoned too. My only gripe (personal preference) is the sauce is too much. You are making an awesome chicken let that be the show of the star. I will merely ask for sauce on the side next time. The crafty ice teas (lemon, cucumber, mint and spiced apple crumble) were both refreshing and perfect for the summer weather.

There is more on the menu too try and I will happily return.

The food was great! We ordered the Poā€™Boys (Original & Blue Cheese) with chips as sides. The fried chicken was so flavorful! But, it was the CUSTOMER SERVICE that wowed us. The duty manager made sure everything was going well and happily switched our chips to unsalted when I told him that it was a bit too salty for me. He also gave us complimentary apple iced teas (which are yum too). It was a very pleasant dining experience :) Thanks, The Coop! šŸ’›

Me and my partner tried the tasting box with the original and the honey sesame chicken, both were juicy and tender with a flavorsome crunchy coating. We also shared the apple crumble ice tea and a chocolate shake, both were amazing so on our way out we got a strawberry shake to go, delicious. Great service, Great food.

Staff are very friendly which is always a plus. Big thumbs up for being environmentally friendly. Drinks come with paper straws and wooden cutlery is served. The fries are out of this world, only reason I would give a 5 would be if the chicken had more taste. The jerk chicken was not jerk. I was looking forward to the taste of jerk chicken but sadly was just like a grilled chicken taste. Not the zesty hot taste you get from jerk.
Kudos though for having a great menu and healthy choices.

Decided to try this joint for lunch! After walking by and seeing this joint pop up and now finally opened.

Ordered the Harissa Po boy, and impressed with the portion size!

Generous servings of fried chicken and salad filling. Really enjoyed the corn long bun! Chicken was fried nicely, crispy outer and moist meat. It was a very delicious Po boy however I felt it was a little overpriced at $18.

Other than that I would come back for more when Iā€™m in the mood for some good Po boys. Tempted to sample just the fried chicken!

We ordered the $49 Tasting Box opting for the Original and Harissa jerk fried chicken. The chicken was light and crunchy on the outside but juicy and succulent on the inside. The harissa paste was delicious, but I would have preferred a bit more as there was only a few drops on each piece.

Unfortunately, the rest of the meal did not live up to my expectations as the salad was a bit bland and boring, the hand cut chips were also quite bland and dry, and the hushpuppies didnā€™t appeal to me either. This was also quite pricey for fried chicken but I found it acceptable considering they use free range chicken. I also appreciated how they were very conscious about being environmentally friendly as all their packaging and cutlery were cardboard.Ā 

However, the amazing service was able to make up for any issues I had with the meal as they were extremely attentive, friendly and you could tell they truly cared about their customers. So because of that alone, I donā€™t think Iā€™m able to give a rating lower than 4. Since theyā€™re just starting out, I hope theyā€™re able to fine tune everything within the upcoming months and become a well known spot in Takapuna.

We tried the tasting box getting the original and Frank's chicken options. Highly recommend upgrading to their shakes/iced teas!
What surprised me was how good the hushpuppies (deep fried corn bread) tasted! Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside with a kick provided by the jalapeno.
If you like spicy fried chicken, definitely get the Frank's option (original flavour covered in hot sauce). They also have Frank's and Kataia hot sauces table side if you're feeling adventurous.
Staff were incredibly friendly and went through the menu and offered recommendations.
There aren't many seats so come early during busy periods!
Everything they use to serve food is recyclable! Wooden utensils, paper straws!

Thank you coop, finally a chicken restaurant in takapuna I can tempt my gf away from bird on a wire. We got the meal for two and everything was really delicious. Chicken was crispy and succulent with a good range of flavours (we got kimchi and vietnanese - both excellent), salad was refreshing and yum, but surprisingly the hushpuppies were the bomb and could easily rival miss clawdy's. Plus the thick shakes were thick and yummy (definitely not diet friendly). You know it's good when half way through eating your already picking what your getting the next time. The restaurant is nothing flash, simple and modern, and the service was excellent.

We had the tasting box and tried the Kimchi and Vietnam flavour fried chicken. Loved them both!! The chicken was so tender, no bones and super crispy. My favourite one would be the Vietnam as it was so tasty and refreshing.Ā

Eating fried food always makes me feel guilty afterwards. Yet, I would still come back to here.

These guys use free range chicken and although itā€™s fried, it does not have that greasiness to it but very tender and juicy. The kimchi flavor is my favorite and together with the iced lemon tea is such a perfect match. Very refreshing!

Music was a bit loud but a good playlist so that can be forgiven. The service was 10/10. The staff was approachable and very attentive.

Would definitely come back to try out their Po boys and other favors soon.

After hearing about this new fried chicken place just opened in the neighbourhood and uses Turkā€™s chicken, I couldnā€™t wait to check it out. I ordered the tasting box to share with my wife and my 3 young daughters. The food that was severed was more than enough to fill all of us up. I got to say, itā€™s definitely value for money!
For my two chickens, I ordered the Smokey and the original. They were juicy but not greasy. I cannot stand oily food. The girls loved their thick shake and canā€™t stop raving about it.
Overall, the food was tasty and nice dƩcor. Service was great, and we would come back to try it again for sure.

Heard about this place from a friendā€™s insta and when I saw the fried chicken, I had to try it out ASAP.

Apparantly, this place was only opened a week ago too.

This place was booming when we arrived at about 6.30pm-ish for dinner.

We decided to go with the ā€œTasting Boxā€, which we chose the ā€œthe Originalā€ and ā€œHot Honeyā€ boneless Chicken Thigh. We also swapped the soda beverages for the ā€œChocolate Shakeā€ and ā€œLemon + Cucumber Iced Teaā€.

Food: 4.5/5.
- Chicken was soooooo tender and juicy. I deffs enjoyed the Original Chicken more, as I found the Honey in the Honey Chicken a little too strong in flavour which over-powered the chicken slightly + rosemary herb was quite subtle. The sauces with the chicken complemented it very well.
- Hushpuppies were absolutely amazing. Balls of deep fried cornbread yummmmm.
- The Shake was bomb.com! Creamy and chocolatey, a treat that is worth all the kilojoules. The Iced Tea was less sweet than I anticipated it to be, what personally prefer and found it refreshing. Could do with abit more fresh cucumber slices though.
- The Agria fries were delish. Chunky and flavourful.
- The Salad was meh. Lacked Flavour.

Price: 5/5. $45 for Tasting Box, a nice variety of the ā€œessentialā€, perfect for those first-timers and donā€™t know what to get. Good price and turns out to be about $10 cheaper if you were to get individual items off the menu.


Service: 5/5.
Very attentive and welcoming. She took her time to ask how the food was which I thought was top notch service.

Atmosphere: 5/5.

Canā€™t wait to go back to try all the other types of chicken šŸ˜

Original Chicken thighs ($16) were delicious; well seasoned and juicy, and about the right portion size for the price. Side salad (extra $5) was high quality and went perfectly with it. They seemed to be struggling with the demand and it was a long wait for lunch considering the menu is quite simple, otherwise I'd give it 5/5. Understandable though since they have only been open a week.

In my ideal world they would also offer a chicken option that is low carb too (e.g. not breaded, and grilled instead of fried) with the same sauce selection.

The Coop had just opened in Takapuna and my partner has been eager to try it since he works in the area. We decided on the tasting box and it is the best value for money, as it allows us to try various items on the menu. We both ordered original chicken since we wanted to know what the standard flavour tasted like. Ambience is cool and staff are lovely, very helpful with making recommendations.

Food came out quite quickly, chicken was hot, fresh and juicy. It had a nice spice to it - seasoned well, and the portion size is generous.

Fries are delicious, very fluffy on the inside. Chipotle mayo had a great, creamy flavour to match. Hushpuppies tasted good, had pieces of corn in it, almost tasted like a soft biscuit. Salad is standard but had apple which gave it a nice bite. The blood orange iced tea had a nice sweet flavour to accompany the bitter tea. A great pairing for the meal.

Overall, The Coop is an awesome spot to grab lunch or dinner and is definitely worth the money!

Hands down the best fried chicken I've ever tasted! The quality of the cuts and gresh ingredients are superior. Portions will feed you when your hungry or keep you snacking on the amazing flavors. I will never bother ordering chicken from any other restaurant again after eating here. Highly recommended and gets my five stars!!! Keep it up šŸ˜€šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

Discovered this great restaurant just casually while i was out on a walk through the area. Tried the Po Boy sandwich which had smokey flavored fried chicken. Really loved the sandwich and how the chicken was cooked. Very impressed with overall experience and would definitely be going back to try all the different flavors of fried chicken.

An impulse dinner treat led us to this new chicken place... Neat in black and yellow pillow accent, it was worth the short food order wait. Visit the place and enjoy...

Been here twice now and it hasn't disappointed either time. Staff were super friendly and the food is delicious. Good sized portions and the flavours are pretty good. Hot option could do with a bit more chilli though but that's just personal preference. Will be back.

One of the best fried chicken meals I have had in Auckland. The fusioned fried chicken satisfies different taste buds in any occasions. Other options are available if you are not looking for fried chickens.

Really spicy hot wings. The original chicken and hand cut potatoes are also really delicious. In addition, they have an arcade machine you can use while you wait for your meal.

Good chicken, good sides, good sauces, good spices. Cardboard and wooden plates, cutlery and cups. Very friendly staff. Our group got 3 Tasting Boxes, everyone enjoyed their choice. The banana milk thick shakes were epic, and the ice tea was refreshing. Sam makes the best shakes btw!

I got the original and harissa chicken. It was 10/10 however I was a bit disappointed by the sides. The fries were a bit too thick for my liking and the hushpuppies were too dry. Would definitely go back for the chicken though.

Been eating here for over a year and it's delicious! Best tasting chicken in all of Takapuna (and probably the world) the staff are lovely and the restaurant has really cool artwork. Not sure what else to say... I wish the milkshakes were a tad cheaper then I would get them more often. But overall, very good experience!

I've walked past this place several times but never had a chance to try it until last Sunday. My wife and I went and ordered the Original Fried Chicken, Hot Honey Fried Chicken with Shoestring fries smothered in cheese and jalapenos. Oh WOW!. It was good. We enjoyed every bite. I will try the Hot Fried Chicken next time. I have my eye on you!

Online menu says you can get wings in every flavour but it seems like they only come in one. The flavour they come in is just ok. The wings are well priced though whilst the chicken thigh pieces and combos are a little pricey. The thigh pieces comes in the rest of the flavours. We tried blue cheese and original and they were both delicious. Blue cheese was generous in topping. All the chicken had a crispy light and flavourful coating. Wedges were also well seasoned and delicious.

Awesome vibe and atmosphere. Top it off with freshly fried chicken and chips makes the coop one of my top choices to go to. Like it says, it is finger licking good. Definatly would recommend the original flavor. Will be back to try them all. Great team and service.
