Rc2702 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 First time I had a Chesters grill was about 3 hours ago. Hands down better value better taste and bigger quantity than ha Dow and KFC. 240 baht for a 5 pc meal of tasty grilled chicken some cheesy fries amd 2 large soft drinks, frieswhich were a bit too salty but overall versus KFC and ha Dow I'd go with Chesters every time. Never heard anyone mention this place before, I seen em about they never appealed to me but damn that chicken was the best I had from a fast food joint since arriving in Los. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I will try them next time, thanks for the info. I admit to being very disappointed with KFC here. Buy a family meal bucket, and get a miniscule bag of fries, actually counted them, and it worked out at five and a half fries each......17 in total !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickb Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Chesters is good, IMO, because it serves grilled chicken, not deep fried like KFC. 5 Dao rotisserie chicken is pretty good also. But I don't like thier fried chicken I'd much rather eat grilled than the greasy fried chicken. And, KFC wins the cheapskate prize for giving the smallest amount of french fries with each order. No one compares favorably to McD's for french fries quantity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosm Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 The fish and chips from Chesters surprised me. Was really good, wish i could find out what fish they use and if anywhere sells in frozen.... would buy a boat load to take home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpcoe Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Chesters is good for what it is: inexpensive, but decent, semi-fast food. I've never seen/heard of "Ha Dow" ("5 Dao"?) Is it a chain, too? Throughout Thailand, or only regional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlosm Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 'Dow' means 'star' in Thai. You can find their red cubicles at most decent petrol stations. ( 5 star ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 I seen a few good chicken questions here and I always take note so when I ate their chicken yesterday I was surprised I never heard this joint mentioned before. This grilled chicken they do is really very good. I'll never touch KFC again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdBellSmokeAndBooze Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Is the chicken really grilled or grilled ala thai with oil ? Even when they grill something they cannot avoid painting sh*t on top of it usually ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grilled chicken is reminiscent of that chicken joint called nandos which I know from uk and a nandos style chicken kills KFC and ha Dow and at a more competitive price point. Surprisingly tasty chicken and good portions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I regularly buy their “ Black Chilli “ ( I think that’s what it’s called ) bucket for 199 baht, 5 pieces of chicken, 2 cokes and fries.The fries are a bit on the salty side , I think they advertise as cheese and salty egg fries !! but are still good.The Black chilli gives it a good Mexican taste .Try it RC I think you will like it.

It's a forum about THAILAND, not Saudi, good grief, and yes, many ?most of us are here because of the girls. Some of course come for the temples and the golf 555555555 As for the OP, there's a difference? It's all just chicken with a bit of something on the outside. I just get whichever shop is cheapest.
