Austin Chicken in Coquitlam | Cozy Spot for Crispy Fried Chicken

Inside Austin Chicken

Austin Chicken is a casual Korean-style fried chicken spot tucked into Coquitlam’s Austin Avenue strip, serving up crispy, juicy chicken primarily for takeaway or a quick sit-down. This isn’t a full-service restaurant, but more of a dedicated chicken shop where the focus is on freshly fried boneless chicken, rice combos, and a handful of sides designed to complement the main star.

The atmosphere inside is straightforward and clean, with a no-frills vibe that matches the fast-paced, grab-and-go nature of its menu. You won’t find a sprawling dining area or elaborate décor here, but locals appreciate the friendly and efficient service that makes picking up a meal or snack easy, especially during lunch hours or early dinner. The kitchen delivers consistently crispy chicken pieces, whether you order the original boneless or opt for varieties coated in sweet soy sauce or spicy flavors.

Practicality is key here—Austin Chicken’s menu includes combo meals with fries and drinks, as well as rice bowls with teriyaki sauce, making it a convenient option for anyone craving Korean fried chicken with some substance on the side. The addition of items like pickled daikon radish adds a familiar tangy crunch that helps balance the richness of the fried chicken. On the side, expect typical fast-food companions like fries, onion rings, and a noteworthy poutine for a local twist.

This spot suits those looking for a casual treat: families wanting a quick shared meal, office workers grabbing something satisfying between meetings, or anyone who appreciates the texture and flavor profile of Korean fried chicken in a straightforward setting. It’s less about lingering and more about enjoying reliably good fried chicken fresh out of the fryer. Austin Chicken is busiest around meal times but moves quickly, so even if there’s a short wait, it’s usually worth it for the freshly cooked pieces.

Overall, Austin Chicken fits a niche in Coquitlam’s casual dining scene as a local go-to for Korean fried chicken that balances crispiness and juiciness with convenient combos and familiar flavors, offering enough variety in sauces and sides to keep repeat visits interesting without complicating the core experience.

We popped in quick to try it, and it was so amazingly delicious!!! The chicken was so crispy, juicy and perfectly flavoured. The service was great they were super friendly and the restaurant was very clean. I’ll be back to try more items.

This is the best Korean fried chicken in the Lower Mainland. Moist and perfectly cooked with amazing flavours. This place is always on my mind.

Good Korean Style Fried Chicken in Coquitlam. Wish they had sides to go with the chicken . Deep fried chicken with fries is allot of oil. Nice to have something to pair it with. Got the reg. Chicken boneless and the spicy. Kids loved the reg. And I enjoyed the spicy. Wasn't too Salty or battered. The pickled daikon was nice to cut the oil with the pickled flavor, must get with fried chicken. Got to pay extra for it thou... For $55, 4 adults and 3 kids had dinner. Not bad value...

It used to be Chicko chicken, and I guess they changed to Austin Chicken. It was really good before but it's even better now from my humble opinion. I always wish they have some side dish other than just fries but wow now they have a chicken sandwich! I also ordered a poutine(I surprise they have a poutine too!) The chicken sandwich combo is such a bomber. One of the best chicken sandwiches I ever had. It's really simple sandwich that has fried chicken, sauce(their mayo base burger sauce and spicy yangneom sauce) and bun but the combination is real well balanced and there's a side drink too for only $9.90! Poutine was also good. Crispy and big portion for $6. Overall, they did real great upgrade. Definitely gonna come here more often than before.

This is true fried chicken made with high standards. It is more of a Korean type of fried chicken and is non greasy and very crispy. It is cooked perfectly and taste is light. You can taste the chicken!

So yummy and delicious and readable priced! Can’t believe we lived closer to here for years and never explored this place! Best KFC around the areas and best price! Flavours are up to par and their bone in and boneless ones are same price! We tried the combo with little spicy and cheese as well as the original. So crunchy and delish! Small issue might be parking but it’s worth all that if you want some yummy Korean fried chicken!
