Playful vegan fried chicken and burgers with quick, friendly counter service; great sauces and fun vibe, but milkshakes and portions can be inconsistent.
Taste Like Chicken delivers solid casual dining through convincing plant-based chicken texture and bold global sauces paired with friendly, efficient counter service. Inconsistent execution—occasional dry patties, sauce imbalance, and milkshake texture issues—prevents higher performance, while the small, limited-seat interior constrains the experience. Best suited for quick cravings rather than destination dining.
A small, neon-bright spot in De Pijp where the mood skews playful and upbeat. Counter staff are warmly helpful and food lands fast, with guests raving that the faux chicken is shockingly close to the real thing. One diner summed it up: "We blinked and our order was ready, and the sauces made everything pop." The space feels colorful and fun, though seats are limited and the music can lean clubby. The cooking leans globally sauced vegan comfort food—think gochujang-glazed tenders, truffle mayo on fries, and mashups like tenders on waffles. When it hits, flavors are bold and satisfying; knocks center on occasional dry patties, heavy-handed saucing, and milkshakes that need better mixing. It is ideal for quick cravings and casual hangs rather than linger-long dinners. For families, this is an easy win. The menu is stacked with kid-friendly picks like nuggets, fries, corn ribs, cookies, and sweet milkfakes. Portions can vary, so consider a box plus extra fries for sharing. No kids menu is listed, but the comfort-food lineup usually keeps little eaters happy.
