My partner and I came by overlord chicken after I mentioned repeatedly that I would like to try their fried chicken & mala tang again. Service is good, more self service leaning, you just go and order at the counter and cashier will bring the order to you. The mala tang process goes, grab a bowl, pick out desired items, choose broth & spice level, they will weight, you pay, they prep and bring it out. Their selections for the mala tang is less than before and is now 19.99/LBS, with a 0.9lbs minimum. We got the traditional spicy level 2 and it was solid, not too spicy and good to enjoy and even drink the broth. We also got one spicy chicken leg and 2 drumsticks. The chicken were all very crispy and juicy. Not SUPER flavorful as I would've liked but good enough to stand against other standard fried chicken spots. It was clearly fried and made fresh though, as it was piping hot. We would definitely come back again, it was solid semi fast last night "comfort" food.

Wanted to get malatang so came here. options are wide but quality could be a little more premium since they're currently charging $20/lb (01/26). I would want more higher options for that price. got their Tomato base with spicy level 3 and Bone broth spicy level 2. both were good but the bone broth one is a little bland. Spicy level 2 and 3 are both spicy so be careful. Also got their Combo #4 chicken, comes 4 ways which is a great deal and great amount. also really good flavors too. young lady in the front doesn't speak much english, so anything out of her script, she won't understand. Food takes about 20 mins to come out during 6-8pm so be prepared to wait a little. Tables inside are limited so grab a table after you order

It's all about the food here at Overlord which is very good. Known for their fried chicken, this is an absolute must. The menu is diverse so feel free to be adventurous. While parking is limited, you can find street parking in front of the restaurant and on surrounding side streets. Service here is friendly and the restaurant itself is intimate. Definitely get a whole fried chicken and some sides. Really really delicious. It's BYOB here too, so if you want to to enjoy some...bring some.

This is the 5th time here . Today the girl server didn't understand English or her brains just not there . When ask to order she look blank I ask to eat in she look blank . Obviously her mind is somewhere else . I walk out . No time with deal with ppl like that . Walk down Vietnamese noodles place much better service and great food .

Mixed bag... We came here because a rave review from a YouTuber. Good news is their Combo #6 is a great deal which is more than enough food for 3 for less than $60. This comes with popcorn chicken, strips, sandwiches whole fried chicken fries and drinks. Out of all of the food, chicken sandwich is hands down the best. Crispy and moist and even has a hint of heat. One of the better sandwiches out there. Popcorn chicken is ok... Nice balance of meat and coating. Same for strips. Whole chicken came out temperature hot. Skin is very crispy and meat is moist. What's wrong? No flavor at all in the skin or meat.. as if trying to reduce the sodium for the meal. Very disappointed. Fries is ok.. Took a while to get the food and AC was broken. Summer months will be brutal. Recommend take out. The place is new so decor is nice and clean. Interesting.. most of the diners opted for their make your own soup (btw is by pound and minimum is $20).

Drove along Kapahulu Ave and noticed the signs for Mala Tang at 'Overlord Fried Chicken'. We wanted to try and found street parking - a stall available right in front. It was our first time there, so we took time to figure out the picture menus and concept for the Mala Tang. Slight language barrier with the worker but we ordered 2 bowls of Mala Tang with fried chicken & sausages to share. Asian bottled drinks available in the fridge. Casual seating area available to eat there. We waited as our food was freshly made to order. I had the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup... spice level 2 was perfect for me - slight kick. Hubz got the Spicy Bowl with rice... spice level 4. Bowls were great... and the standout was their Fried Chicken - perfectly seasoned and fried with a beautiful crispy coating. No wonder they are called 'Overlord Chicken' - their chicken is truly supreme with masters in the kitchen. We enjoyed the fried Taiwan Sausages too. All in all, a wonderful 1st experience here, and we would definitely return.

One of my FAVORITE restaurants! I personally love mala and anything Chinese herb (numbing sensation) so I was happy to find out that they reopened in Kapahulu. The restaurant is joint with the Overlord Chicken. Parking is available on Kapahulu or we usually find a spot on Date street and walk over. The ingredients seem to be fresh every time we go in and the service is quick and friendly. They charge you by the weight (you choose what to put in your soup) and for a pretty big amount, we were charged about $20 per person. I definitely recommend this place if you enjoy Chinese hot pot!

This was a wonderful late(ish) night place, however, there is a lack of parking. There's street parking but that's always a hit or miss. They were completely empty when our party arrived, but that was worked out in our favor as we didn't realize how small the dine in area was. We were able to push almost all of the tables together and fit our large party of 25 people. There are so many options offered and we ordered a bunch of options to split amongst the table family style. We also got the build your own spicy hot pot which was delicious! Unfortunately, you also have to walk outside to the back of the restaurant to use their bathroom which isn't super clean, and as it was late at night, I needed someone to walk with me around the corner for safety.

+ I've been following them since the Oahana Hale and McCully Shopping Center days. Great to see that they now have their own restaurant with an expanded menu including fried chicken and Mala Tang + Free street parking along Date St, or metered street parking in front of the restaurant on Kapahulu. + Build-Your-Own hot pot / Mala tang / noodles is a lot of fun. + Choose your own numbing and spicy options. The soup is always hearty and warming and flavorful even with the non-spicy or mild options. + Popcorn chicken is tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. + Nice and bright and clean ambiance. + Speedy and attentive services. + Reasonable pricing

The Official C.

Overlord Fried Chicken isn't just a name, it's an attitude. If you don't know what you're looking for, you'll walk right by. Tucked into a spot with serious dive bar energy with loud flavors and great tastes, this place feels like the kind of place you stumble into at midnight and never want to leave. The kitchen here is a straight-up flavor laboratory run by mad geniuses in aprons. The fried chicken is not just fried it's baptized in flavor. Perfectly crisp on the outside, gloriously tender on the inside, and seasoned like someone dared them to go too far and thank God they did. You can go classic, get lit with the hot, or go full Overlord and let the spice obliterate your taste buds in the best way possible. Their crispy, spicy, juicy excellence comes in steaming hot with serious intentions to conquer your hunger and burn your tastebuds. But wait, it gets better. The dumpling soup here is criminally underrated. Big portions with insane flavors! This is not the place for a polite salad. This is where you roll up your sleeves, destroy a plate of wings, sip something strong and cold, and leave wondering what just happened (but in a good way). Come hungry. Leave conquered. All hail the Overlord.

* Food poisoned* 4am in the morning and still in the toilet:( Went here around 11pm with co-wokers after a busy night of working. I ordered a comb 2 which includes a chicken sandwich, fried chicken leg, a French fries and a soda. I asked for spicy for my sandwich and fried chicken legs. After first bite of the sandwich, I realized that it's not spicy at all, so I asked the guy, are these all spicy? he said yes, and I told him it's not spicy at all. Guess what? He just ignored me and walked away. So I left no tips for him. ( I was gonna give cash after eating) Never come back again, not just because of food poisoning, but also because of bad service, and the way they handle the situation.

Today I got to try the Choose Your Own Noodles Soup for $19.99 per pound and it was fun and tasty. Also, the service was very friendly and helpful.

I like spicy hot pot and fried chicken. I like spicy food

We did a takeout yesterday, just to try the fried chicken wings. My wife had to wait awhile due to the chicken is made to order. Luckily I had a metered parking outside since I don't think they have parking. The order took about 12 minutes, and my wife mentioned the cashier was friendly and gave her a bag of chicken nuggets to try. The chicken wings were nice and crispy, moist, and hot. The only thing wrong was it was very spicy. When we had them for dinner we ate the wings with rice, so that made a difference on the spice level. The menu didn't mention the chicken was spicy or could be ordered mild. We would come back but next time ask for a mild chicken. The restaurant is clean since it's kinda new to the area. read more

New place on kapahulu. Inside is very clean.Their overlord chicken is really crispy and good flavor but not a lot of meat but if you like skin it's for you. They provide gloves for you to pull apart the chicken yourself. Their chicken sandwich is good just like Popeye's. Their popcorn chicken is crunchy and good especially with their spicy powder. The only bad item on their menu is their spicy chicken. This item was like the left over parts from the chicken every piece had bones in it and wasn't spicy. I thought it was just a spicy popcorn chicken but no it's grilled and put in sauce. I wouldn't order that again but everything else was good read more

When they first opened they were amazing. . . I had gotten the overlord whole chicken.... But tonight I got fries and 2 sadwiches and nuggets. Nuggets have no sauce options...the spicy chicken sandwich was almost microwaved hot... these are thighs so the meat is very ...red and stringy.. no real flavor.. fries were salty and had a weird random taste .50 per nugget wasn't anything special. I really wanted to love Overlord ... seriously if you want a really good fried chicken sandwich... oddly enough and hate to say it but Jack in the box across from them makes a killer dank ass spicy chicken ...for less money less wait...even better than popeyes.

The grilled chicken is AMAZING!!! I could probably eat an entire one in one sitting, it's so crazy good. I also had a taste of their popcorn chicken, chicken tenders, and spicy battered wings. I personally don't like food that's greasy, so I wasn't in love with the fried stuff, but I thought that the batter was very crispy and good, so I would still recommend it to someone who enjoys fried food.

Waikiki Chicken In Paradise

Nothing against Waikiki Chicken in Paradise, but I'm not going to lie - I had no idea the mini food…read moretruck park they're located in even existed, let alone had them on my list of bookmarks. However, after having to abandon our original dinner plans, we were no less intrigued after randomly stumbling across this place. While they may not have been our first choice for dinner, coming here was far more appealing than eating fast food or at the nearby IHOP! Although seeing so many folks at this mini food truck park may have been what caught our attention, it was the boxes of fried chicken on nearly every table that swayed us to try Waikiki Chicken in Paradise in particular. After skimming the menu, it wasn't hard to see why they were such a popular choice - everything on it sounded great. Granted, that's not overly difficult when there are only eight items to choose from, but tough to argue with the likes of fried chicken loco moco, fried chicken curry rice, fried chicken sandwiches, chicken & croffle, and fish & chips! Since we saw how big the portion were and didn't want anything too heavy (read: sadly, no loco moco or Japanese curry), we opted to split a FRIED CHICKEN RICE PLATE ($16.95) which came with a Fried Chicken Cutlet over White Rice with Mac Salad & Green Salad. Funny enough, despite already having a sense of how much food they give, I was still surprised by the generous portion size. As for how it all tasted, this was great. The breading on the chicken reminded me of Popeye's (though, without the spice), the batter was crispy, and the chicken itself was rather moist. As for the sides, the mac salad was pretty good, but the salad was a little heavy on dressing. If there was one thing I could change about our order, I think I'd want to see how it would taste with a sauce or glaze. At the very least, I'd definitely go with a different dipping sauce, like their Pineapple Ginger, Lilikoi Mayo, or Guava BBQ, as the Honey Mustard we went with tasted a bit generic. Of course, we could've solved both problems if we had gone with the Fried Chicken Loco Moco or Fried Chicken Curry Rice instead! I guess I'll just have to wait until the next time I'm in Waikiki!

I personally like the K chicken wings for the variety and higher meat to skin ratio but my husband really likes the K chicken wings. The skin is shatteringly crispy and flavorful and the meat is juicy. Their honey shoyu sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and salty. You can also request the sauce on the side. I've also had the fried rice which was decent and generously portioned. We once had a complimentary house salad given to us which was unexpected kindness. Overall they do a great job serving up a delicious craveable food that keeps us coming back!

I ordered the K-Crispy Chicken "Whole Pieces" and really got ripped off…read more Out of the 10 Piece box, only 3 pieces, 1 leg, 2 wings were complete pieces. They actually cut in half 5 pieces of the Chicken Backs and each 1/2 counted as a piece of overcooked chicken jerky! I also got a 1/3 of a breast section with bones and not even a 1/2 of a thigh. That totals my 10 pieces. More bones and excess crispy flour then consumable meat. NOBODY gives a Chicken back (or 1/2 a back)! Not Popeyes, not KFC or Zippy's who will remain my Favorite because I will only get ripped off the 1st time, never again. Additionally, they make you buy the sauce, the reason is due to no seasoning on the over floured bread...but it IS Crispy! The Chicken tenders were overcooked and REALLY Chewy around the edges. Just a LOT of breaded Crispy with no flavor, what "Chef" doesn't even use salt? Really, if you're going to risk testing this food, PAY for some sauce! I hope the Owner reads this and realizes that ripping people off by selling broken pieces that most Chef's throw away because they have so little meat on them, isn't going to keep him in business. The profit margin may be up while folks are trying it, spending their hard earn $$$'s, yet not coming back will be the ultimate demise of this business as many other have come and gone doing the exact same thing, not putting themselves in he patron's position. Ask yourself this: When was the last time you saw a bowl of whole chicken pieces and immediately grabbed one that was back bone chopped in half?

Good Chicken Waikiki

We planned a Valentine's staycation for the family in Waikiki and happened to stumble upon Good…read moreChicken inside STYX ASIA. When you're always on the hunt for great fried chicken, you can't really pass up a place literally called "Good Chicken" and they definitely lived up to the name! The establishment is cute and cozy with tables available for dine-in. As soon as we walked up, we were kindly greeted and a table was set up for us immediately. After getting settled into our hotel, we were starving, and everything on the menu looked incredible. We ended up ordering the Garlic Chili and the Honey Shoyu chicken. It was exactly what you want when you're craving KFC. The sauces were spot on, chicken had a perfect crunch in every bite and the meat was incredibly tender. To make our dinner feel like a complete, we also added a few other items to the table. We had the pork mandoo and loved that it was clearly homemade, you could really taste the difference. Those extra sides were the perfect finishing touch to the feast. To be honest, if it weren't for this staycation, we probably wouldn't have headed into this part of Waikiki, but I'm so glad we did. Next time we stay in the area, this will definitely be on our list of places to repeat. If you are in the Waikiki area and looking for delicious Korean Fried Chicken (and a Kama'aina discount!), look no further.

My favorite is the garlic chili chicken wings plate lunch. The rice is just right - not too much and cooked just right. It comes with a healthy green salad. I did try their kalbi plate and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was - soft, tasty, thin, easy to eat. This is my go-to place for potlucks - I order the 20 piece garlic chili chicken wing pan. But, like I said, the location - in Waikiki - is not great. I park at the Ross parking lot across the street for 2 hours validated parking (buy a 99¢ shopping bag and get the stamp) and walk over. One day I was running late, it was a Tuesday (senior discount day at Ross), parking was not existant so I had to wait and wait. When I told Jay (the owner) about it, he said that next time I can just call and they can bring the food up to my car on the street. Next time for sure!

After we finished eating, we sat there for quite a while before being told to pay up front at the small window. We ordered the meat jun, which came with rice and banchan. It was overly oily and didn't have much meat. I had the soy garlic fried chicken, and again, the batter tasted greasy. There was even an extra charge for pickled radish, which is usually complimentary with Korean fried chicken.

Overlord Chicken Hawaii is a glorious homage to the humble chicken, transforming it into a culinary delight that leaves your taste buds asking for more. This restaurant, with its modern decor, exudes an inviting ambience that is hard to resist. The moment you step into Overlord Chicken Hawaii, you're greeted by friendly staff who are not only well-versed with the menu but also genuinely interested in making your dining experience memorable. Their warm smiles and attentiveness add a personal touch to the dining experience. The heart of the restaurant, of course, is the food. The chicken sandwiches are a standout, so tasty that they easily trump any offering from their neighbor, Popeyes. The chicken is succulent, tender, and seasoned to perfection, nestled between the softest buns you could imagine. But the real surprise is their drink selection, specifically the mango drink. It's a tropical delight, a perfect blend of sweet and tangy that takes your taste buds on a refreshing journey. It's so good that one drink just doesn't cut it - I found myself buying a second one just to prolong the experience. However, the restaurant isn't without its drawbacks. The most prominent issue is the scarcity of parking. This makes the overall experience a bit strenuous, especially for those who prefer driving. It would serve the restaurant well to address this problem, either by providing a valet service or liaising with nearby facilities for additional parking. Despite this issue, Overlord Chicken Hawaii is a must-visit for any chicken lover. The food, the ambience, and the friendly staff make up for the minor inconvenience of limited parking. It's a place where chicken is not just a meal, but an experience worth relishing. read more

Ordered chicken strips, french fries and a soda for $10.50 and it was really, really good. Had the pleasure of meeting the owner, I believe he is the owner, great guy. This is a very much needed option for eating out. They have some great family deals as well. Everyone should stop in and help get these guys noticed and some business.

This BBQ chicken sandwich was extremely disappointing. In the past, the chicken was marinated and full of flavor, but now it tastes like it wasn't marinated at all. For $12.99, this was absolutely not worth the price. The sandwich was so basic that I could easily make something better at home. The lettuce was also in very poor condition - it didn't look fresh at all. This is not the kind of lettuce you used to use before. Overall, the quality has gone downhill significantly. I will not be ordering from here again. read more
