Their buttermilk chicken is a must try! I was able to try it on my first visit. But on the second one, we got the Cajun Butter Roast Chicken. It was okay. I like that they served it with brown rice. And perfectly seasoned for me -not too overpowering cajun taste. The servers were very thoughtful and extra nice for having asked us if the food was okay. Their Chicken Po’Boy sandwich is good for two! I just can’t finish the whole thing on my own.
Another must try is their corn muffin. So good 😊
So, yesterday, I have decided to eat my lunch here at Kettle because I heard that their Buttermilk Fried Chicken is good. So, I ordered the Original BFC Solo that includes the following: One Muffin, Brown or White Rice (that you can also substitute with another muffin), Gravy and side salad.
The Chicken was surprisingly tender (well, small for the price TBH). It was so good and buttery but not oily while the skin was crispy. The gravy adds spice to the chicken and more flavor. I opted to have brown rice instead of white.
The muffin was something I could consider great and worth it really -- tender, generous in corn and filling. The side salad was just okay, nothing special really but nonetheless, what I just did not expect was the size of the Chicken.
The service was really good but not excellent either.
First bite and I just died 😭 truly the best buttermilk fried chicken in town!! Worth the travel everytime I go here. Brought my friends here from Seoul and they told me it’s really THE BEST! Also one of the gems here are the macncheese and my all time fave truffle pasta! Can’t go wrong with the combination of the chicken and the corn muffin. It literally melts in your mouth like WOW!!!!

Another of EDSA Shangri-La's very good restaurants, Kettle is a best place to just have a chit-chat with friends and family. Again I had to meet a friend, a College one. I just learned she's working around Bulacan so I invited her with me being the host again, oh the irony. Initially she wanted Ramen, something close as well to her place so I agreed. However she, for some reason, suggested EDSA Shangri-La. I immediately said "okay", though it was pretty much favorable for my part, besides I'm the host for crying out loud.
I've been rooting for Kettle for sometime. I really loved the idea of Buttermilk Chicken partnered with something like pancakes, waffles or for this case muffins. I arrived first and estimated a good 15 minutes before even getting a table. Anyway I ordered for their classic Buttermilk Chicken with three servings of muffins and a helping of gravy and some good honey. I also ordered Truffle Gorgonzola Pasta, Kettle Club Sandwich and a Carafe of Lemon Iced Tea.
The Buttermilk Chicken was really good. It's boneless, not dry and goes well with either their gravy or together with the moist muffins. You'll have to slather the muffin with honey to give that kick you'll never expect to go well. They even had this Nori Fried Chicken Matcha Waffle, I'll try it next time. Their club house sandwich is surprising. Served in some crispy, strings of potato fries, their sandwich is packed with fillings which per my only complain, is quite messy to eat. I loved burgers and sandwiches, but the one thing I really hate is the messiness of eating them. There's only select few restaurant that I know how to handle this well. This one doesn't though, albeit it was still really delicious, I'll give them that. I find the string fries negligible. I didn't actually mind them until we almost finished the sandwiches. I didn't like the Truffle Gorgonzola Pasta. I believe Gorgonzola is some type of cheese and I really didn't like the taste and smell of it. It was good like a basic Carbonara pasta but didn't strike me well. Lastly was the iced tea. Sorry but, despite there's nothing in the Menu that says it's a "house blend" how it taste still matters. I feel like I'm only drinking a regularly mixed commercial iced tea (you know what I mean). My friend shares the same sentiment when we went hunting for a watering hole after we ate in this restaurant.
Maybe we ordered few wrong meals but overall it was pretty decent. I would love to go back and try their other dishes to adjust my previous experience. The place is cozy, not too packed and clean. Their staff is quite attentive and properly stationed on spots where they could easily spot their patrons when asking for help. That's a good point.
First time at this place. Went there during lunch with my co-workers. Presentation, quantity, and quality are all good! Staff are friendly and the ambiance is just right. It was a nice experience.
Good service and polite staff.
The food was quite good and looked really great for photos and instagram. The met for the short ribs were very tender but i found the sauce to be too sweet. The fried chicken was amazingly tender and was of a very large portion. The hredded fries were great too especially if you are going as a group.
Fried chicken and cornbread are delicious. Enormous chicken is good for sharing. Gravy and spicy honey portions could be more generous than the thimble size caps.
I went here with friends. The staff is very friendly and attentive to our needs. I really love the bright lighting and the ambiance of the restaurant because it produces good photos for social media use.
Their fried chicken is the best! We also had truffle pasta and the vodka pasta. Tastes heavenly. Words cannot describe how tender and juicy their fried chicken is.
They also gave us a complimentary dessert, in which it was immediately consumed because of our voracious appetites. I would like to visit this restaurant once again.
I love fried chicken. I love it since I was a kid and I never outgrew this favorite food of mine :D which is why when I've read reviews and seen pics of the buttermilk fried chicken of Kettle, I made sure to try it asap. And I have no regrets! The BFC is crispy, tasty, tender, and very juicy. It's everything you'd like your fried chicken to be. The serving size is huge too. The corn muffin that comes with it is also tasty on its own! We ordered ceasar salad as well and it's equally good. Service also did not disappoint as the staff are very friendly and accommodating.
The buttermilk chicken is very good. It passed the test of two very hungry kids. The pasta with salmon was tasty as well but a bit pricey. But we shall return here.
