“ The best fried chicken on Vancouver Island, the best I've ever had in all honesty. The owners are also amazing people and I've always felt comfortable and happy at Nandas. Not to mention, very affordable for the amount and quality of food you get! Try the Gangsta sandwich! It's absolutely delicious ”
“ Keep it up. Don't stop being yourself because of someone's jealousy or framing. You are the best Korean fried chicken restaurant in the city in my eyes. I order from you several times a week. Keep making your unique fried chicken. Don't stop because of someone's jealousy. Because some people are just demons in human form. ”
“ One of the best fried chicken places I ever had! No kidding! Crispy skin, juicy meat, and it didn’t feel greasy at all!! Look at the food paper at the bottom when we finished then you know I’m not lying ”
“ A gem in a small town. Went to this place as it was highly reviewed and was not disappointed. Had the vegan chicken which was well spiced pieces of vegan meat. Also had the cauliflower fries which were crispy and tasty. Food mate had the chicken: Super crispy batter, tender chicken with moist meat. Batter didn't have spice but would go well with any sauce of your choosing. Mozzarella sticks had cheesy stringy cheese inside with crispy outside. All food came out hot! Each main is 15, apps were 6-7 each. Wish I wasn't rushing to make it in time for the ferry otherwise, would've enjoyed the service. The wait staff were pleasant and aimed to please. Small place but knows how to make chicken. Be careful with the sauce was spicy...not for the light hearted. Would request to use the batter to make deep fried oysters and shrimp. Serving local beer from Vancouver which had several types for all beer lovers. Overall: One of the top chicken places in the country...if you can get here, try it! ”
“ Me and my husband went for a date lunch wasn’t very busy for sit in so no reservation needed. Staff was nice and attentive. definitely recommended the specialty drinks they have from Korea. Chicken was freshly made and wasn’t greasy at all good crunch on the chicken. The mozzarella stick was nice and gooey and had a cheese pull to them well seasoned. Would definitely go back and seemed like it would be good for take out as well. ”
“ This is hands down the crispiest and most delicious chicken I’ve ever had! The 'Gangster Chicken Sandwich' is an absolute must-try. The kids loved it, and it brought joy to the entire family. Great beer selection too! ”
“ Super recommend! The chicken is so tender and juicy — it really tastes like they use fresh chicken, not frozen. The crispy coating is perfect, and the spicy option has just the right kick without being too spicy. The service is amazing. The girl who served me had a big smile the whole time and was so friendly and talkative. This was my first time visiting Nanaimo, and she even shared lots of great info about the city with me, which made me feel so welcomed. Definitely one of the best restaurants in Nanaimo. ”
“ Finally stopped in to try the Gangsta Chicken Sandwich, as it had been raved about to me by my brother. Let me tell you, it loved up to the hype. Juicy, perfectly battered and in an incredible sauce. Yummy hoagie style bun, a different sauce on the bun, pickles and cabbage. Fantastic. Seriously, and I am tough to please. Inside the restaurant is a little spartan, no music, and not a lot of atmosphere, but they seem to primarily aim for takeout. Try this sandwich. I wish I had a picture to show you, but I ate it too fast. ”
