Yes!!! thank you for existing. As a city to island transplant, I've been searching for good fried chicken.. I don't like K(entucky)FC, sorry.. i prefer churches but there are none close by.. so then I found lees, I was pretty happy about that.. But then... I found NANDA! and I'm happy I did. It's really good.. if you know Korean fried chicken, it's the good KFC. I liked the crispy and spicy, next time I'll try the regular and them tacos.. Thanks nanda!! read more

Nandas has always been great to me, im currently having the gangsta sandwich which is my go to! Whether you call for pickup order or dine in, the service is always great! This has to be one of my favourite chicken sandwiches/chicken in nanaimo, with great portions! Always a 10/10 for me:) thank you nandas!! read more

Sweet KFC! Do it, do it, do it! The chicken here left an impressionable taste coupled with an aesthetic touch that was hard to forget. I had the original and the Yangnyeom chicken. For your Basic Betty's, the Original is a solid choice. If you're wildin' like me then get the saucy Yangnyeom, which has a sweet and tangy taste with a bit of a kick. Korean fried chicken is nothing without all the sides. Opting for fries because it was cheat day, I got the yam fries and cauliflower fries. They were bomb in their own individual way. Yam fries resemble your traditional fries, while the cauliflowers were uniquely delicious. Atmosphere is great with a few quirks here and there. I found the fries in the mini shopping carts a riot. They have other noteworthy forms of presentation so make sure you order different things - the onion ring stack was definitely pleasing to the eye! Lots of tables and space, although it tends to get quite packed in the evening. read more

Food was fresh and delicious. The service was fast and friendly staff. The restaurant was clean.

This is a great little hole in the wall place just around the corner from the casino in Nanaimo. Friendly staff and wicked good fried chicken. Do yourself a favour and try the Gangsta Sandwich, you won't be disappointed!! read more

What a gem! Nice people, great service and the chicken is out of this world! Ordered 4 piece thigh original (this is more like 8 pieces), we ordered the yangnyeom sauce on the side and the ganjang chicken. Sides we ordered were the cauliflower fries, kimchi and pickled daikon. Our favourite was the ganjang chicken. This is boneless and crispy and the sauce is a sweet soy but not very soy like. Either way it was delicious. The pickled daikon was a nice bite in between the two different types of chicken. I would totally come back and wish this was close to home!! read more

Unreal chicken. This place has a small menu but their food knocks it out of the park. The chicken is fried but not greasy. The batter is thin, crispy and flavourful. read more

Well this chicken took us on a trip to yum town!!! Hubby, me and our 2 year old picky eater toddler just scarfed down the extra crispy half chicken and tators. We just arrived in town late after a long day of travel and staying at a hotel - hubby went out to find us food and what a lucky find! The extra crispy coating is ahhhhmazing! The chicken is so juicy! The tators were really good too and not dried out like most places. Both were cooked fresh for us even tho it was late. We could tell it hadn't been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. After every bite, our son said 'more' lol. Great prices too! read more

Delicious. Airy, crispy, juicy and flavourful. The gangsta sandwich is incredible. Love how the cabbage and pickle contrast the richness of the friend chicken. read more

Best fried chicken in Nanaimo! We usually order the crispy chicken for take out and it travels well and doesn't get soggy. It's also not greasy which is a huge plus! We haven't dined in because of covid, but the restaurant set up is very cute! read more

My son and I are Korean Chicken experts. We have had the very best from our Korean Grandma and from our travels to Korea and throughout the world. NANDA succeeded in providing some of the bast chicken we have ever tasted. We split the waffle and chicken dish and half a chicken cooked Korean fried chicken style. I would make this a must stop if you are ever in Nanaimo. Great stop before or after the ferry ride too. read more

Lured by the multitudinous reviews on their website after a relatively short existence, we lunched here recently. A somewhat quirky spot, but comfortable and friendly. Hands down the best fried chicken we've tasted in years. Tried both the crispy and my favourite Yangnyom chicken and were hugely impressed by both. Beware the Yangnyom sauce - it is so addictive I was tempted to return for dinner. Will be on our regular rotation, no question. read more

Nanda's yum yum Korean style crispy chicken is the best fried chicken I have ever ate. All other fried chicken places are dead to me. Do yourself a favor and go to Nanda's. read more

Fantastic little family run Korean chicken joint! Amazing authentic Korean sauce on the chicken, medium spicy, not too hot, some places make their Korean chicken too hot but this is great. Cauliflower is an amazing side, like a heavier style tempura, no cheese or filler, just a cauliflower flouret fried in a light batter. Even the white meat pieces were incredibly juicy. Will pick up again anytime I'm back on the island! read more

Great place for Korean Chicken. Great for take out especially. The chicken is great, but the restaurant does slightly suffer from not having many interesting side plates to go along with the chicken, would love to see this change. read more

Awesome chicken!!!!!!! We found this place and screamed full of joy, love it so much now going to pick it up every Saturday. Must-try place if you love chicken, especially fried one. Try the pickcled radish too! read more

My husband has been waiting forever to try this restaurant after seeing all reviews . We did take out today and had the crispy chicken with sweet and spicy dipping sauce and it was so delicious. Loved the crunch on the chicken and then you dip it in the sauce and it takes it to another level of sweet and spicy. Couldn't get enough and will gladly go back for more. Pricing is reasonable too. Sorry no pics I was in too much of a hurry to sample :) read more

I checked this place out yesterday. When I went in I discovered this was a different style of chicken restaurant. Definitely not KFC. Nanda offers Korean style fried chicken. And it is very, very good. The chicken was moist, tender and so tasty. They offer several different types of fried chicken. I tried the one with the sweet/spicy sauce. So good! A little pricy but great value. I ordered the half chicken and had enough left over to take home for a second meal. I'm going back to try the other styles they offer. My new go-to place for fried chicken in Nanaimo. The staff are very friendly as well. read more

Easily the best fried chicken in town. Friendly staff and the food has never disappointed
