Our Story

Kai Eatery started in Auckland in 2016 as a night market stall. As there was a minimal existence of restaurants from Taiwan, Kai decided to build an eatery that showcases Taiwanese cuisine. It all began with the XL Fried Chicken. Beautifully marinated on the inside, generously coated on the outside and fried to perfection each time. Due to the markets being in different locations every day, they searched high and low for a permanent home and eventually settled in 1 Rutland St, CBD. Now Kai Eatery is open for 8 or more hours a day to serve the best Fried Chicken and much more!

At Kai Eatery, we don't skip on the good stuff. We use 100% chicken breast in our XL fried Chicken and 14 secret ingredients that marinates our chicken, then with specific production techniques to ensure we produce juicy, tender and flavoursome fried chicken!
