I usually have no issues with this KFC but today for the first time both myself and my partner had issues with extremely tough chicken in both the rice bowl and burger. I got two fillets in my rice bowl, the first one was fine and the second one was tough and hard to break up with the fork. My partner got the chicken burger and was complaining it was tough and we were trying to physically pull some of the chicken out with our hands to see why it was so tough. Not sure why the quality seems to have dropped with the fillets here but i wanted to highlight this so it gets resolved as I don’t want to stop coming here.

We ordered the new Pickle Burger specifically to try the advertised crispy freeze dried cucumbers. However, the burger only had two small regular pickle slices, and there were no cucumbers in the fries at all.
We were not informed about this when ordering. We understand they might have run out, but it should have been communicated instead of serving something that does not match the menu.
Very disappointed, as we were really looking forward to trying the new item. The experience was ruined.

Response from the owner

We appreciate your feedback regarding communication and will ensure this is addressed. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to provide you with a better experience in the future.
