Bad Bird Philippines Menu Prices 2026
Before you queue up for their famous fried chicken, it helps to check current Bad Bird Philippines menu prices, since this isn’t your typical fast-food chicken chain it’s a smaller, food-hall-rooted concept with a distinctly umami-forward take on fried chicken that comes at a slightly higher price point than mainstream competitors.
Bad Bird started as a stall inside Century City Mall’s Hole in the Wall food hall before expanding into standalone branches and food-market stalls across Metro Manila. It’s built its identity around a single hero product Umami Fried Chicken, a ramen-broth-inspired take on fried chicken with a rich, salty, savory breading supported by a short but distinctive menu of Asian-leaning sides, curry rice bowls, and comfort-food extras.

Prices above are sourced from Bad Bird’s official online storefront at The Grid Food Market (their Rockwell/Power Plant Mall stall) and may vary slightly at other branches like SM Megamall or Robinsons Place Manila, particularly for chicken buckets and larger set meals. Delivery platform prices can also run a bit higher due to markup, so treat these as a close estimate rather than a fixed number across every location.
About Bad Bird Philippines
Bad Bird was founded by Charles Paw, who also runs other restaurant concepts in Metro Manila, and it built its early following through its original stall at Century City Mall’s Hole in the Wall food hall. The chicken’s signature feature is its umami-heavy breading, often described by diners as tasting close to concentrated ramen broth a distinct departure from the usual sweet-and-savory or spicy fried chicken formulas common in the Philippines.
The brand has since grown to a handful of branches and food-hall stalls, including SM Megamall’s Fashion Hall and The Grid Food Market at Power Plant Mall, while keeping the menu relatively tight: fried chicken in a few formats, a small selection of curry rice bowls, and Asian-inspired sides rather than a sprawling menu of unrelated dishes.
Popular Items To Try
- Umami Fried Chicken – the restaurant’s namesake dish, praised for its crunchy, intensely savory breading, though some diners find it on the salty side
- Dirty Rice – a seasoned rice side made with tofu and liver, frequently ordered alongside the chicken
- Boneless Fried Chicken Curry Rice – a heartier rice-bowl option for those who want the chicken without bones to deal with
- Umami Chicken Skin – a crispy, snackable side built entirely around the chicken’s signature seasoning
- Mozzarella Kimchi Tots – a fusion side pairing kimchi’s tang with melted cheese, less common among competing fried chicken spots
- Hamburgreat Set – Bad Bird’s burger option for diners who want something other than fried chicken on the plate
Deals, Promos, and Discounts

Price and Value for Money
Bad Bird sits a notch above typical fast-food fried chicken chains in price, generally landing between ₱500 and ₱1,000 per person for a full meal with sides, based on reported dine-in spending. That premium buys a distinct flavor profile you won’t easily find elsewhere in Manila, though it also means Bad Bird isn’t the budget option if you’re just craving fried chicken on the cheap.
Is Bad Bird Worth Trying?
What separates Bad Bird from the wider field of Manila fried chicken spots is that it built an entire concept around one very specific flavor idea umami-forward breading rather than trying to be a general comfort-food menu with chicken as one option among many. Reviewers consistently zero in on the same trait when describing the chicken: it reads almost like concentrated broth flavor baked into the crust, which is unusual enough that it tends to draw strong reactions in either direction.
Feedback is fairly split on saltiness specifically some diners love the intensity and skip the accompanying gravy entirely, as the brand itself suggests, while others find a full portion too salty to finish solo. Portion size gets consistent praise, with reviewers noting that a single order (2 pieces of chicken) is generous enough to share between two people rather than something meant purely for one. Given that Bad Bird has kept a relatively narrow menu rather than expanding into unrelated dishes, it comes across as a restaurant that’s confident in doing one thing well rather than a jack-of-all-trades comfort-food spot.
Dining Experience and Service
Bad Bird operates through both standalone casual dining branches and stalls inside food halls like The Grid at Power Plant Mall and Hole in the Wall at Century City Mall, so the format varies by location some are sit-down with full table service, while food-hall stalls are more counter-order and communal seating. Takeout and delivery are widely available through foodpanda and other platforms across most branches.
