Customers come for the Spicy Chickenjoy and the familiar Filipino flavors, from sweet-style Jolly Spaghetti to Burger Steak with gravy. Folks also call out the peach mango pie and even ube ice cream with pastries as fun treats, plus rice bowls for a fuller meal—though one person found the Asian chicken bowl a bit too spicy. A few diners mention the chicken as halal-friendly, which draws in groups looking for that option.
Diners enjoy the lively, colorful setting right in Leicester Square, with lots of seating (including upstairs) and kiosks that keep orders moving. Many say the food still tastes “like back home,” and that homey comfort is a big reason people keep returning. Staff are often described as warm and helpful; one guest specifically praised Mr. Arthur for going above and beyond during a busy period, which really lifted the experience.
That said, customers also mention the trade-offs of a popular spot: lines can be long at peak times, and service can feel stretched. Some folks mention order mix-ups like missing chicken pieces or sauces, while a few got lukewarm or less-crispy chicken and even a drink without ice. Others wish palabok were on the menu, and a couple of diners felt the gravy was thin or the sauces were unremarkable. Overall, people come for the crispy chicken, sweet spaghetti, and taste of home—although the crowd and occasional inconsistencies are part of the Leicester Square Jollibee experience.
