Ang sarap ng spicy chicken at na-curious kami sa "chemical" na sinasabi. Gusto pa namin i-try yung iba pangfoods sa menu. Okay naman service ng staffs. Thumbs up babalik ulit kami. :)

We were all surprised to get 3 three thigh part chicken, waffle, and a bowl of rice which seemed like it was good for two people. They might be changing back the cuts of their chicken next time. Value for money and with Gold is so worth it.

I remember going to Makati just to get their chicken. Now, they have a branch near me.

Food is still good with wider variety of sides. ❤️

In terms of fried chicken, bad bird's one of the best I tasted. Their sweet potato waffle is also good, just mildly sweet unlike usual waffles. Their grilled porkchop paired with honey mustard sauce is also a must-try!

Thanks to Zomato Gold perks! Dined December 1, 2019. Buy 1 get 1 on food! Worth it! ❤️❤️ Bad Bird has really been one of my go to Chicken Place since from century branch. Happy they opened here at Rob Manila. Compliments to consistent serving of enormous crispy flavorful chicken from skin to meat with your choice of hotness/spice (safe, spicy or chemical). Each side all goes well with the chicken specially the corn & cheese! Wish they could opt not to require rice on their plated meals for people who doesn't eat much rice like me. Serving on this branch was not that good considering there's only 3-5 group dining during my stay serving time was bad 30mins for the meal without even notifying us it would take that long also it was hard to call their attention when I was claiming the bill. This could be improved though.

This is our second time here at Bad Bird and it never disappoints. Most recommended dish was the Umami Fried Chicken because it has very generous serving and very sumptuous marinade and crispy skin. Second most recommended was the Pork Belly Sandwich, pork belly was very soft and the combination of different ingredients in one bite explodes in your mouth in every bite.

I’ve been meaning to try this out but I usually decide not to, but today I chose to do so.

I didn’t expect their chicken to be this huge! It’s very much worth the money. I wasn’t able to finish it at all. Plus, it’s very crispy and juicy at the same time. Very yummy! Absolutely delicious! I ordered the safe one and it still has a certain spice kick which is sooo good! My meal came with corn and rice, all for 340. Not so bad!

The only downside for me was the iced tea because it doesn’t taste anything like tea, it’s too sweet for me. But then I guess it boils down to preference.


Will definitely go back and try some more dishes.

We used Zomato Gold in this restaurant.
We ordered
- - Gochujang Wings which was too salty for my taste
--4 cheese Noodles which reminds me of udon noodles. Thick and chewy. :)
--Corn with mayo and Bonito flakes. Yummy!
--Pistachio cream bar. It was coated with white chocolate and placed on top of a chocolate sauce. It was overly sweet so you just need a few bite to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Service: Only 1 service crew attending to customers during that time. So we had to stand and go to her if we needed anything.

Overall, we were happy with our lunch because of the Zomato Gold 1+1 on food.

Would recommend this place if you have Zomato Gold - with the discount, it’s pretty worth it. We had the chicken with waffles and chicken with torched cheese and corn. The chicken was good (!!!), the waffles were interesting (they’re made with sweet potato; not like a usual waffle but definitely not bad), and the torched cheese and corn was ok lang (it was basically creamed corn with some cheese on top). A little pricey without Zomato Gold but the flavors are good and portion sizes are pretty big!

Go for the Kimchi Bacon Rice!  This is one thing that I will definitely order again from Bad Bird. Service was fast too!

If you're the type who likes creamy and milky ice cream, their merry moo's selection would satisfy you. But if you're not huge on creaminess and milkiness then you can pass this selection.

This is the first time I tried eating here in this branch. Well, the place is nice where you can definitely bring your friends to hang out and enjoy. We just ordered the Umami Spicy Fried Chicken = Love the Texture and the tenderness of the Chicken! The only downside of the chicken is it's not fully cooked inside, maybe a few minutes more would do. But overall, good!

You can never go wrong with Bad Bird! Specially if you have Zomato Gold.

The perfectly crispy, super tasty, and extremely juicy umami fried chicken is one of the best fried chicken in the metro, the sides they serve are pretty good too! A lot of people swear by their dirty rice but my favorite is the torched corn and their waffles. The steak is very tender but lacks on the beefy flavor. Another one of my favorite dish is their pork belly burger, its one of the most flavorful and juicy sandwhich!

I usually order two pieces of fried chicken in a fastfood meal, expecting that they might only serve me two measly wings.

But Bad Bird exceeded my expectations; their chicken cuts are huge, and they’re flavored in the crispiest and most flavorful breading. Each bite is an explosion of flavor, paired with their numerous side dishes and flavored rice. If there’s one thing that I found wrong, it’s that the photos in their menu underestimate the sheer size of their chicken cuts. Well worth it!

One order of their umami chicken can be shared. Spicy will always be my fave flavor. They have awesome sides too. I've tried their dirty rice and kimchi, it was good, but my all time fave would be their sweet potato waffles. The maple syrup really goes well with the spicy chicken. Also, really worth your buck with Zomato Gold 1+1.

We just happen to pass by this restaurant as I initially thought of having dinner at Coco Ichibanya. But since we haven’t tried this one yet, we opted to dine here instead. We ordered the weekday set meals good for two with this option; boneless chicken thigh, bbq pork belly, macaroni salad and hush puppies which is like corn muffins and we added iced tea chocolate plus cheesecake bar. The chicken and pork belly is really good paired with the black pepper sauce! They also have unlimited rice because why not? They have huge servings. Will definitely come back to try their best seller, the Umami chicken.

The resto mainly offers chicken based on its name. A new & different taste and approach to our favorite chicken. Everyone should try their chicken! Also, this place offers variety of desserts and salads! I really love their salad, especially, Ceazar’s salad. I’ve been here twice, will visit here again soon.

Dinner earlier was at Bad Bird. Enjoyed their Bites of Bird - chicken wings glazed with Black Honey, providing a sweet and sour blend, and their House Nuggets with that Black Pepper sauce on the side, giving the right amount of oomph to elevate the dish. #feedingkeane

It was my second time to dine. The first was in Megamall, and it never fails every time. What just made it a 4 was I was never asked by the crew what part of the chicken I prefer. I never like the leg part, like ever. 

Overall, the taste of the fried chicken and the grilled chicken was the best. What made it all special are the sides. My fave is the eggplant which until now it got me all wonder how did they make it that delish.

Tried thier newly formulated Sweet Potato Waffles with Chemical and Safe Fried Chicken.
i love the waffles you cant really tell its made from sweet potato, the taste is just right with a bit of syrup and butter for the perfect chicken and waffle combination.
the chemical wasnt too spicy for my liking jist the right kick of spice.
the hush puppies was just ok, nothing too special
macaroni salad - was a bit bland needs a bit of kick of salt to it
but over all enjoyed our dinner.

The umami chicken, salmon and dirty rice were flavorful. We unlocked 2 gold when we ate. One of the servers, Sarah, was great. She was very attentive and gave us the opportunity to upgrade our order, which made our 1+1 much more worth it. They also allowed us to take home the leftover, which is left to their discretion.

I have been seeing this in Megamall but just had the chance to try this in rob ermita. Ordered the set meal for 2 (set a: grilled chicken and belly with hash brown + macaroni salad) , grilled pork belly and home made ice tea.

Overall the food and prices matched the expectations. Yum! I just find the hash brown balls dry. The macaroni is good. The grilled meats are well seasoned and properly grilled. The iced tea was legit home made and freshly brewed. Refreshing!

Highly recommended! Also, Unli rice is a big PLUS!

Last time I ate here, I tried the set meal of 1 pc. chicken with dirty rice and pickles. The serving size was actually fairly big for one dish, which made it worth the money. If you're not really big on rice, you might even be able to share this with someone if you just order it with 2 pcs. of chicken. Really liked the dirty rice since it had a few bits of tofu and chicken innards. Aside from that, I liked the eggplant agedashi thag we ordered as an appetizer. Overall, I liked the food and the staff were pretty accomodating.

Loved the food here! We ordered their Lemon Salt Fried Chicken priced at P240 and it was really good. I also loved the Pepper steak priced at P590 (not bad at all!). Wasn't able to take a photo since we were hungry and realized that we forgot to take a photo haha! Overall, we had a great experience, superb service & fabulous food!

Ambience was nice (though there was only 1 song playing the entire time). Server was attentive, courteous, and provided suggestions. Ordered umami chicken and wings. Chicken was large. Sides and rice were small. Pork belly was very small (not worth it). The taste was good. Though i preferred the taste of the wings over the umami chicken. Price was a bit high for the serving sizes.

Tried their 2 pieces of chicken with sweet potato waffles and ordered the corn on the cob. Chicken and waffle was good. Putting bonito flakes on corn was genius. A bit on the expensive side though. Paid 600+ for a meal.

I love how this place gives you huge amount of serving. I recently tried their sweet potato waffle with 1pc spicy chicken for a change. 👌 I love how it balances the flavor of both dishes. But if I were to eat the chicken only, it's a bit salty for me. The potato waffle is so filling! It was really hard for me to finish everything.

The spiciness of the chicken at the second to mildest level makes me perspire. That says it best haha.

A bowl of their kimchi soup always hits the spot. Their sesame salad is a favorite also.

Not quite Kyochon for me but a great alternative.

My friends and I wanted to try something new and when we passed by Bad Bird we were intrigued therefore we tried it out. First thing we noticed was their interior which was simple but unusual in a good way. We ordered their "Bbq Plates For One" and I chose the Boneless Chicken Thigh. For the price of Php 290, it was worth it since the chicken was really good especially with the sauce and it includes 2 sides and unlimited rice. We definitely did not regret trying out Bad Bird for the first time.

A light 4 for this Bad Bird branch!
I'm a big fan of Lowbrow's food concepts and Bad Bird, and so I've dined at the original Hole in the Wall spot (which is still my favorite) as well as the ones in Serendra and in UP Town QC.

As usual, Bad Bird delivers with a solid crisp and bold array of seasoning to the skin followed by a juicy succulent bite of the meat. Love having the chicken at mild with the dirty rice and with the kewpie-bonito-corn as sides. I have to say though that Robinsons Manila branch might be of the weaker links so far. Chicken is a bit too done for my liking, and service isn't as smooth yet. Sure that I'll still be a Bad Bird regular, maybe just not at this branch :p.

So far okay naman experience namin here. Mabilis naman service nila. We love the food. Yummy yung Yakiniku nila. Inupgrade ko sa dirty rice. Nagcompliment naman sa yakiniku. I love the side dish din. Nakakafresh ng lasa yung pineapple and cucumber. We also ordered Crispy 2 fry wings with black honey glaze for my son. Malaki naman yung servings. Medyo pricey lang yung food nila.

OMG! Their food was amazing. We got big chicken part and it wasn’t the typical fried chicken in the market. It was very tasty and flavorful. We ordered for the Umami Chicken and we have no regrets at all. Plus they have friendly crew. Thumbs up!👍🏻

I have been very vocal about my affinity with Bad Bird (all restaurants from Tasteless and Low Brow). It all started when i saw the obscene amounts of herbs they use on their chicken (this was when they are still on the test phase in HITW) and the aroma that came after, i was caught in an umami trance.

Boy, i was really glad that the baddest bird on the planet is slowly spreading its claws in the Metro.

The newest addition (it was new when i visited and this is one of my backlogs) to the foodie destination in Manila. Yup, Robinsons Manila, y’all! It is about time that people from this side of the metro experience Umami Fried Chicken.

I visited Bad Bird multiple times and i used all adjectives synonymous to delicious in my reviews. What else is there to say...except that they have the best fried chicken in the Metro.

I got the usual...Waffle Plate with Chemical Fried Chicken and then some:

🌽 Sweet Corn & Cheese. This is the cheesiest x corniest appetizer of ‘em all. The marriage between corn and cheese is match made in corn x cheese heaven.

🐶 Hush Puppies. I love dem puppies! #CarbsIsLife

🍠 Sweet Potato Kakiage. I just said that i love carbs right? Anyway, this reminds me of Maruya (banana cue’s sistah from anotha motha 😂). Bad bird used sweet potato instead. I loved every bite.

🍹 Honey Yuzu Tea. Tea is always a good idea to waah down all the carbs.

Oh my sweet Bad Bird...please continue spreading your wings. You owe it to ze chicken loving perpz of the universe.

I used to go to Bad Bird at Century Mall in Makati, it was really good. It still is.

I was one of the soft-opening whitelisted guests for the Robinsons Manila branch to taste their food and in return give feedback instead if paying.

Their chicken isn’t dry at all, in fact, its crispy on the outside, and cooked to perfection inside. Their sides are also incredibly tasty and so far none of them have been over or undercooked resulting in any oddness in texture or taste. I would suggest something like their spinach side dish as a pallet cleanser and a neutraliser from all the flavour and potential oily feeling you get in your mouth. Goes together so well for me.

Its a bit pricey, but hell, its Bad Bird, if you want some MSG filled spicy fried chicken, I would definitely recommend this place.

Hooray for long weekends! (When are we having another one? 😝) Last June 15, I invited my mom for lunch at Bad Bird. I've dined at their Hole in the Wall branch a few years back, and I've never been back because it wasn't that accessible. 😢 So I was super glad they are now expanding, and now has 5 branches! 💖 We wanted to dine here at their Robinson's Place Manila branch a couple of months ago when it first opened, but never got the chance. So here we are now!

When we got there, there were plenty of empty seats, so we got to choose where to sit: of course, in comfy seats and well-lit areas (for the photos!) HEHE. After browsing the menu a bit, we decided to get the following:

✅ COLD TUNA & MANGO SALAD (Php 290) - ⭐⭐⭐
We wanted an appetizer that isn't too heavy, so we chose this. It was just okay though. It's similar to the usual spicy tuna sashimi in most Japanese restaurants, except it's less spicy. It had a slight saltiness that tasted a bit similar to tinapa (???), and was a bit off for the overall taste of the dish. The mangoes could have been sweeter. 😢 What I actually loved was the crisp sweet potato chips it came with. Super good and addicting! 💖

✅ FOR MAMA: CRISPY 2-FRY WINGS - GOCHUJANG BUFFALO (Php 280) - ⭐⭐⭐
These wings came in 3 pieces of wings, each cut in half. For less than 300 bucks, this wasn't bad at all! It comes in different glazes, but we chose this one for the spiciness. 😉 It was good! The glaze was tasty, though, it seems that they added something alcoholic to it (my mom said so, based on what she tasted). It also came with fries, which my mom enjoyed a lot. She wasn't able to finish it, so I had to eat two pieces of this, too. At some point, the oiliness of the chicken kicks in and you'll be looking for something refreshing to eat to cut the oiliness. 😅

✅ SESAME CAESAR SALAD + TORCHED CORN AND CREAM CHEESE PLATE (Php 320 - Single) - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I've had Bad Bird's Umami Fried Chicken a couple of years back, and I remembered how juicy and delicious each piece of chicken was. This time, I got the Spicy version -- and it's the best spicy fried chicken I have tasted in my life! 💖 The skin was crispy, and the spiciness seeps into the meat... Every bite was fiery but yummy! 😁 The Caesar Salad was okay, the lettuce leaves were fresh and crisp, and I loved how they used roasted sesame dressing on this! Competing with the chicken as the star of the show is the Torched Corn and Cream Cheese! 😱😍 I thought it would be super nakakaumay, but it wasn't! The cheese balances the spiciness of the chicken, and matches well with the sweetness of the corn! I'd definitely order this side dish again next time. 👌

Ambiance is good, and is quite flexible: thus, is the perfect place for: families, friends, and even couples! 👌There are some dimly-lit areas though, so, hello foodies, if you're reading this, make sure to choose well-lit areas so your photos will look nice. HAHAHAHA.

Service, on the other hand, was hit-and-miss, as most of the servers kept on huddling in a corner and talking with each other. 😢 It was quite hard to get their attention too. But, there was one specific server who has been consistent since we arrived and up until we left: Ms. Jovy! 😊 Her cheerfulness and attentiveness has won me over. Truly commendable! 👍

Definitely coming back to try more of their extended menu offerings... Or, I might get tempted to get their umami fried chicken again. It's that good. 😁🍗 Actual rating is 3.5⭐ overall, but okay, rounding up na nga. 😁
