Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Arnold's Fried Chicken at Tampines West CC presents a mixed bag.

The fried chicken itself often receives praise for being juicy and flavourful, with a well-seasoned, not-too-thick batter.

However, this positive is frequently overshadowed by significant operational issues.

We note consistent complaints about extremely long wait times, particularly during peak evening hours, with some customers reporting waits of up to an hour for both dine-in and delivery orders.

This suggests a struggle with managing high volume.

Beyond the chicken, side dishes appear to be a major point of contention.

Reviews frequently describe the mashed potatoes as powdery, sour, or unfresh, and the coleslaw as bland or poorly portioned.

The fries are also often criticised for being tasteless.

While the chicken might hit the mark for some, the overall experience seems to be hampered by slow service and inconsistent side dish quality.

We'd recommend managing expectations for wait times and considering other options if the sides are a key part of your meal.

Best for those who prioritise the chicken above all else and are prepared for a wait.

What customers say

Arnold's Fried Chicken receives mixed reviews, with many customers praising the chicken itself for being juicy, flavourful, and having a good batter.

However, common complaints revolve around long waiting times, particularly for delivery and during peak hours, and the inconsistent quality of side dishes like mashed potatoes (often described as sour or powdery), coleslaw (small portions, bland), and fries (tasteless).

Chill place at Tampines west CC. Chicken was nice, many food deliveries to handle hence you need to wait 40 minutes when dining in around evening time. Otherwise I have no issues waiting for nice frie…
