KaiKai Chicken Is Opening a Second All-You-Can-Eat Korean Fried Chicken Joint in Brisbane's South

Time flies when you're having fun and eating fried chook, which means that it's now five years since poultry buffet restaurant KaiKai Chicken first opened its doors. Since 2017, it's been asking a crucial question in St Lucia: why did the fried chicken fan cross Hawken Drive?

The answer: to eat all the greasy chook they could handle. The eatery has helped Brisbanites solve the eternal query faced by hungry chook fiends everywhere, too — aka whether to have one finger lickin' good piece, several, or more than anyone should actually admit to. It serves up an endless array of poultry in a dozen different flavours, plus all-you-can-eat fries, rice, other sides and desserts to round out the meal. A la carte orders are also available, but who wants that when there's bottomless fried chicken at arms reach?

To indulge in all of the above, likely while wearing your stretchiest outfit, you've needed to head to Brissie's inner west — but come April, you'll also be able to venture south. An exact launch date hasn't been announced yet, but KaiKai is opening its second yellow-hued store in Springwood, complete with its beloved all-you-can-eat fried chicken buffet.

That means that you'll have twice as many spots to hit up for the chain's affordable — albeit hardly healthy — $24.95 bottomless package, which includes those 12 flavours of chicken, six types of loaded fries, steamed rice, mashed potatoes and gravy, bread rolls, and cinnamon jelly doughnut sandwiches for dessert. Also on the menu at the new Kaikai spot: a $75 option that also includes a 90-minute alcohol package spanning bottled beers, mimosas and soju jugs.

If it sounds too good to be true, we're here to tell you that it's a clucking reality — as it has been in St Lucia for half a decade now.

That said, visits to Kaikai do have a time limit. Just like sipping that aforementioned bottomless booze, flocking customers are asked to get their chicken fix within 90 minutes due to the demand — and, let's be honest, after an hour and a half of seeing how much chook you can feast upon, you're probably be ready to fly the coop anyway.

Find KaiKai Chicken's new store at 3/25 Watland Street, Springwood sometime in April. We'll update you with an exact opening date when it is announced — and you can head to the chain's Facebook page to keep an eye out for further information in the interim.
