It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that Fat Daddy US shared the news on its official IG that they were officially closing their doors effective 05/06/2026. :( Our household looooooved the wings from Fat Daddy US. We'd order wings at least several times a month!!! They legit had the best wings we've ever had! Well, IMHO, when the wings were smaller like from a chick...when they switched to ginormous wings, that's when I wasn't as big of a fan cuz I saw the chicken fat, hence the name Fat Daddy, but we still loved it. The skin was always crunchy without ever feeling oily. The meat was tender and juicy and had a nice flavor to it. All in all, it always tasted very buttery for all the right reasons. The staff were genuinely soooooooooooooooo nice, especially the darker gentleman with the ponytail (?) and accent and the really cute Taiwanese girl with beautiful porcelain skin. Always soooooooooooooooo accommodating to their customers. Just very sad that our favorite spot in the food court is gone. :( read more

I usually don't care for fried chicken but dang, this place makes it pretty good. Super juicy, bigger then average and they dont fry it til you order it so the wait can be long sometimes. (i warned you) the corn nuggets are fire as well. A little pricey, but then again, what isn't anymore. read more

I love this place! Everytime I go to haven city I have to resist going here because I like trying the different stores at Haven City, but I go back to Fat Daddy and it's never been a miss. They always fry their chicken to order so the wait is always longer than your usual fried chicken places, but be patient , the chicken is worth it. Honestly, just give it a try, the chicken is the juiciest you'll ever have and it had that classic Taiwanese taste, IYKYK. read more

I had a good experience at Fat Daddy (West Covina). I ordered the G Pai - Boneless Thighs ($12.49 - 2 Pieces). It arrived big, steaming hot, and moist. Its skin is crisp & flaky. It resembled a giant popcorn chicken. (Important: Cash is not accepted. Bring card or contactless payment.) I arrived at Fat Daddy (West Covina) on a rainy Wednesday (around 11:55AM) . Parking is easy on a rainy weekday. Usually, the big lot is very competitive. Service is non-existent. The displayed sign proudly claims, "This is a cashier less store." Customers order on a self-service kiosk. I appreciated how the self-service kiosk does not require a cell phone number, and I liked how it printed paper receipts. Staff calls your receipt's number when the order is ready. My order took 16 minutes and 47 seconds. It's a lengthy wait. I appreciated the G Pai - Boneless Thighs ($12.49 - 2 Pieces). It's thick, tender, moist, and steaming hot. The outside is crisp, flakey, and well-seasoned. The meal felt fresh and clean. Its also big! I left full. They provide small spicy powder to shake on top; however, customers need to purchase sauces if interested. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Regarding ambiance, Fat Daddy (West Covina) is located inside the Haven City Market. It's a vibrant, eye-catching food stall[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still, Fat Daddy (West Covina) shares the ambiance of the popular Haven City Market. The location is very clean; there's many inside and outside tables; and there's many flatscreen televisions with the Spectrum Sportsnet Channel. Its common to see basketball and/or football playing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]In addition, the location has customer internet with password; the information is taped on the walls. There's also upbeat, festive music[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Fat Daddy (West Covina). The meal is filling, clean, and fresh. If you enjoy chicken, this is an easy recommendation. 4.7 out of 5 read more

Good Taiwanese fried chicken joint inside the food hall, although I fail to taste any 'Taiwanese flavor' in either the chicken or the breading. In fact it tastes rather bland without chili powder. To me Taiwanese chicken means the fried basil popcorn chicken. Be that as it may, their chicken is fresh and made to order, and may take as long as 20 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fortunately you're free to roam around the vast food hall and order drinks and desserts while you wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Jollibee has nothing to fear. read more

I have ordered from Fat Daddy at Haven City West Covina (WC) a few times now. My first visit was with a couple of my dear college friends during soft opening... it was their treat in celebration of my birthday... thank you for the tasty meal! My second visit was on their Grand Opening Day. It's definitely one of my favorite spots at Haven City WC. Highly recommend!! Their fried chicken was the B*MB! The skin was crispy by perfection. And it's not oily at all. The chicken meat was super tender, moist, and juicy. Chicken pieces were huge. Seasoning on the breading was light, simple, and flavorful. It's like no other. Just SO GOOD! Regular and sweet potato fries were okay. Next time I would just get fried chicken only. Self-ordering is done easily via the kiosk. Prices are slightly on the higher end, but worth it since you're getting quality fried chicken. Wait time may be long as they make every order to order. You're getting freshly made fried chicken every time. Please be patient. It's worth the wait! Trust me on this one. When your order is ready, they'll call your number. Staff was friendly and pleasant. Condiments are available on the counter... grab what you need. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sit where there is availability in the food hall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Get ready to take your tasty bite! read more

It was just around opening time on Labor Day Monday and everything was slowly opening up. I wanted to find something that can be shared with a group and I remembered fat daddy having really good fried chicken wings. When I came over I was confused at first but decided to order via the kiosk. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was clean and you can see the kitchen right away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's lots of signs and one said order here but it was a wall of menu photos? I'm glad they displayed the menu all over the walls, makes it easy to order when there's a line and you don't have to decide on the spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I saw they had a $5 drink and fries, then ordered their 24 piece wings for $19.99. The total and optional tip was around $30. I didn't get a receipt despite asking for it to be printed? I also didn't get a device that vibrates when the order is ready for pick up, instead I entered my phone number and just had to wait. Wasn't sure since I didn't get a confirmation text that order is being prepared or ordered but I trusted the system! I took a photo of my order# on the kiosk screen just in case I entered the wrong phone number... Luckily around 16minutes I got a text! I went and they nearly packed my food in a bag with chili powder and I grabbed forks before I left. It was hot and crispy! Small wings but very crispy skin! The fries was a mix of sweet potato and crinkle cut fries which my toddler enjoyed. Loved that after we finished our drink we asked for a refill prepared to pay a fee and they didn't! Nice! read more

The Taiwanese-style fried chicken cutlet (Boneless Thighs G-Pai) was way better than Jolibee. The outer batter was super crispy, and the boneless thigh was tender and juicy with a large portion that really filled me up. Waiting 18 minutes was totally worth it. It would be perfect if the serving speed got a bit faster. 比Jolibee更好吃的台式炸雞排。 外層麵衣炸得極其酥脆，去骨雞腿嫩又多汁，份量大有飽足感，等待18分鐘是值得的。 如果出餐速度改善的話就完美了。 read more

Haven City Market has plenty of good options, but if I skip Fat Daddy, I instantly regret it. Their Taiwanese-style fried chicken is some of the best I've ever had. Supposedly there's milk in the batter--doesn't sound thrilling, but whatever it's doing, it's magic. The coating is always perfectly crispy and packed with flavor, while the chicken stays juicy and tender. Pro tip: get the boneless thighs. Life-changing. The sides deserve just as much love. Their fries are the best of the lot--a mix of sweet potato, regular, and crinkle cut, all fried to that perfect balance of crispy outside and fluffy inside. The seasoning is this savory-sweet combo that makes them addictive. Honestly, I inhale this meal so fast I never get a picture. I'm like an animal. People probably stare. Fair warning: this chicken comes out molten hot, so pace yourself unless you want to scorch a lip. But seriously--this place is five stars every time. read more

Great service, Usually food court restaurant charge for refills, Daddy from Fat daddy just saw me holding my cup reach out his hand and asked "what flavor?" We got 24 pc and fries. The chicken is a bit on the smaller side but it is Soo good tender and flavorful, we got non-spicy but Daddy gave us some red chili pepper for the group. Thanks daddy, you'll see me back soon read more

Fat Daddy is located inside the West Covina Haven City Market. I've eaten here multiple times, and the chicken is perfectly crispy every time. This time, I ordered the wings and fries. Both were freshly made, crunchy, and delicious. Every time I've gone, I've devoured my chicken before I remember to snap a picture. I enjoy their chili powder, but you have to ask for it. It's not always consistently spicy, but it's nice to sprinkle on the chicken. You order on a kiosk, and they message you when your food is ready for pickup. Since the food is made to order, be prepared for a bit of a wait, especially since they are popular. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are plenty of tables inside and outside of the Haven City Market where you can enjoy your food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I didn't mind at all for the waiting time because the taste and the quantity was great. The chicken was very crispy from outside, juicy and flavorful from inside.

I was lured in by the Taiwanese fried chicken samples, which were tasty enough to get me to place an order. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience didn't quite match. The menu is mostly fried snacks, and everything ends up feeling pretty heavy on the palate. Nothing we ordered really stood out. The fries lacked any crispiness, and the chicken itself tasted wet and a bit greasy rather than crunchy and fresh. The flavors were also fairly one-note, which made the whole meal feel even heavier. Overall, this place is maybe a 3 star spot at best. I didn't find anything I'd come back for, and I'd probably pass next time. read more

When Fat Daddy Fried Chicken first opened in West Covina, I was more curious than eager to try it. Even though I am from Taiwan, where this brand originated, I had only heard of them and had never tried their food before. In Taiwan, they are known not just for fried chicken, but also for offering a variety of tasty fried snacks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The West Covina location is inside the Haven City Food Court, a trendy, big screen TVs with live sports show, modern style food court that's becoming increasingly popular (and of course you pay more for the food and experience).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] On my visit, I noticed the menu was limited compared to what typically find in Taiwan. After ordering, I ended up waiting more than 20 minutes for my food. While it's true that the chicken is cooked fresh to order, which results in a crispy exterior and juicy interior, the overall experience wasn't particularly memorable. For a wait that long, I was expecting something a bit more special. The flavor was decent, but not outstanding compared to other fried chicken options. One of the main reasons Fat Daddy is popular in Asia is because of its competitive pricing and solid quality. However, in the U.S., the pricing feels steep for what you get, especially given the long wait times and limited menu. Overall, I appreciate the brand trying to make a name for itself here, and I truly wish them success. But based on my experience, I gave it 3.5 stars. It's worth trying once, especially if you are curious or want to support them. In the most recent visit, I noticed the menu price has been changed, and I would love to return and give it another try sometime. read more

Delicious Taiwanese fried chicken. Was recommended by someone who really enjoyed them in Taiwan. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I think this place is a victim of its location in the Haven City Market. It's located in the far left corner of the place by the bar so if you don't enter from the left side, it can be overlooked or by time you see them, you'll already ordered somewhere else.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff is friendly and welcoming. I will say, the wait is a bit long, but the food is fresh. If you plan on ordering from here, I'd recommend ordering here first then walking around, ordering at other places. I think what we had was delicious. This chicken isn't too overly battered and had the right amount of crisp. Buttery, milky, juicy and not too greasy . They have spices you can get on the side if you'd like your food a bit spicy, but it definitely doesn't need it. The mix fries was decent. Not as crispy as I would have liked. The food is perfect to share. From my understanding, and I've never tried the original in Taiwan, it's not as good. Most likely with anything that's brought over to the US, lack of available ingredients and resources affects the flavor. Would I get it again? Of course, if I'm the mood for fried chicken. read more

This chicken was FIRE. The breading is a bit different than Fried Chicken at fast food spots but it definitely hits. Perfectly crispy and the chicken was super juicy. I ended up getting a 6 piece of fried chicken which gave an assorted selection of 2x thighs, 2x wings, and 2x drumstick. I also tried out some fried fish balls which were great but also nothing super special, I would stick with the chicken. I would totally get this again. Note - You can expect to wait 30-40 minutes for the food to be prepared. Everything is made fresh and depending if there is a long line or not it could take about that long. read more

The chicken is phenomenal, but you have to be extremely patient as it does take 15-30 minutes. When busy sometimes a bit longer. I keep coming back though. One issue I had was that the three piece order usually has a drumstick, a thigh, and a wing. I don't know if a wing (drumlet and flat) constitutes a full piece, but that's up for you to determine if it's worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the vibe of Haven, though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Wow, the chicken here is a MUST GET. I am not typically a fan of fried chicken as I feel they are too greasy and heavy. NOT HERE! Their chicken is definitely more Taiwanese inspired as the batter has that same light milky-buttery taste to it, yet it's not too oily/greasy. It has the perfect crunch on the outside without being burnt, yet the chicken on the inside was juicy and super tender. The wait is a bit long ~ 30 minutes, but it is indeed worth it so long as you are not in a hurry. We tried both the Original Fried Chicken and the Yuzu Pai. Both had the same wonderful texture and juiciness. The only difference was the Yuzu one had a bit of a citrus ZING to it. Both come with a side of sauce(s) - I believe sweet and sour and some srichacha-like sauce. I tell you ... these chicken are best eaten without additional sauces. That's when you know they are made right! read more

Fat Daddy chicken was hands down the best chicken in West Covina, until they changed something with the product. The smaller piece wings and drumsticks were perfect. First time having chicken that didn't make my family feel queasy after. Always felt great. The switch to larger pieces changed everything about the experience, adding too much meat density. What my mom always loved about this place is that the chicken would almost melt in your mouth when the pieces were smaller. The larger piece switch was a little tough and not as enjoyable. Fat Daddy, if you're out there--don't give up. Do what you did before, just in a different location and be a part of the community wherever it is you go. read more

Fat Daddy Fried Chicken offers juicyyyy crispy Taiwanese fried chicken. Every piece is moist and packed with flavor, even the white meat pieces. We love getting the 6 piece to share between 2-3 people. Even if you're ordering 6 pieces, if one of the pieces are on the smaller end they will throw in another smaller piece to compensate. I also appreciate the spice shakers in the front with small containers so you can add a little kick to each bite. You can either place your order using their kiosk or place it online via their website. The chicken is fried to order and typically takes about 25 minutes. This shop deserves 5 stars for their consistently delicious chicken and customer service. read more

Now, I feel that I'm am a fried chicken expert, and if you want proof, ask me what my cholesterol level is. I love them all, Popeyes, KFC, Jollibee's, & Church's. I was a little apprehensive trying Fat daddy's at first, mainly because it was a little pricey, but also, never heard of them before. So when I finally did, I was very surprised. Very hot and fresh, crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside, flavor throughout and the seasoning on the outside, couldn't tell if it was season salt, or some type of asian seasoning. Whatever it is, it's very good and tasty. As far as the side dishes, the mix bag of fries and the mozzarella sticks were slightly above average. Haven't tried the rest...yet. This fried chicken restaurant can hang with all the other great fried chicken chains out there. 5 stars from me. read more

This place is actually famous in Taiwan so of course I had to try the Cali variant! Buttery, rich, flavorful goodness, just wow. You can't go wrong here for some fried chicken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Was here on a Saturday and the place was bustling![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered the 10PC combo along with some Taiwan beer. The chicken takes awhile to come out because it's made to order. I definitely prefer it that way here, as you get the full richness of crispy fried chicken and eat it while it's hot! You can order some Taiwan Beer here, go for the lychee or grape. It's more like a wine cooler than beer but goes good with the salty savory chicken. This place is a chain from Taiwan so if you're looking to try something different than Louisiana style or KFC, this is the place to check out in the SGV! Highly recommend it. read more

First time trying Fat Daddy. Huge fried chicken fan here and of course the Taiwanese always do good food. Got the G-pai filet combo with hash browns and a side of potato salad. Chicken was incredibly crispy and piping hot so be careful. Nicely seasoned and the restaurant provides additional spicy seasoning should you want to turn up the heat. Definitely heaving on the breading but it's light so you're filling up on the chicken and not the exterior. There was this spicy chilly-esque type sauce, which was fine but I wasn't a fan. Obviously this is a Taiwanese spot but Ranch or honey mustard would be perfect here. Hash brown was super seasoned. Very peppery. Potato salad was not bad. Kinda bordered on supermarket flavor, in my opinion, but freshly made. Overall not bad. G-pai was fine but I think I'd prefer the bone-in options next time. Food takes a minute to come out, which is expected for fried chicken so maybe order ahead. They have a big sign that says you're gonna wait at least 20 minutes so just be aware. read more

Hi-ya, so this place is inside the Haven City area--there are a lot of shops crammed into this place and they all have a lot of unique character. Fat Daddy has really tasty boneless chicken they use as free samples and they don't fret if people come and grab more than one. In fact based on the time we waited for our order a lot make a decision to order there after the samples. One of our party ordered from here and they had three pieces of crispy chicken and had fries and a soda. I think it came to like 14 or 15 bucks and he gobbled it up pretty fast. I asked him what was memorable and he said, it was just good chicken". The wait time was a little long, but everything is made fresh to order. So you will wait, but it will come out piping hot and worth it. read more

My phone pictures don't do this place Justice. I was trying to capture the juice dripping fried chicken wings with the right amount of crispiness but I will let you guys be the judge and order a 3piece yourselves. To put it in perspective, if you had Popeyes or Church's, it's often times a hit and miss, some places have there Chicken fried and sitting there under the lamp warmers for half an hour, so by the time you go at the leg and thighs, the piece of Chicken is tasting dry. So, you're wondering is this place a GO? Heck Ya! By far the seasoning and coating on the chicken, this has been by far probably one of the best fried chicken tasting experiences for me when compared with the likes of giants Jollibee (Sorry Filipinos), Popeyes, and Church's. Maybe if Al Baik from Saudi Arabia were to open a franchise here in West Covina, then maybe my top choice will go to Al Baik the legendary Middle Eastern Fried Chicken Chain, but for now, the Taiwanese Style 5 Spice Fried Chicken takes the spot at the top of my list (支持一下台灣料理，no bias** ;) ) On the service side, because it is fried chicken and cooked on the spot, it does take some time after you order, but pretty reasonable wait, roughly 10 minutes or so. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the ambiance? It's Haven City, if you've been to the one in Rancho Cucamonga then this is a exact replica but with more Asian nuances.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

New fried chicken spot located in the Haven City Market that is a popular chain in Taiwan. They are still in soft opening, and the menu is a bit limited. We ordered the 7 piece chicken combo which came with 2 legs, 2 thighs, 3 wings, 2 orders of fries (mix of regular, crinkle cut, and sweet potato), a potato salad, and 2 canned drinks of choice - we chose wintermelon tea. If you order on the kiosk, there is a quoted wait time of 25-30 minutes. Food came out fresh and piping hot. The fried chicken had a nice crispy skin with tender and juicy meat. Overall, this is a solid spot but be sure to order online, as the wait time is a bit long. read more
