The story
At the Lan Zhou Shi KFC on Huo Che Zhan Dong Lu, the Colonel’s menu takes a distinctly Chinese turn. Reviewer BANKII, in their global KFC taste test, highlighted local exclusives like whole fried chicken and mala chicken ribs, praising the chicken’s tenderness while noting it didn’t quite match the quality of Five Star Chicken in Thailand. The branch holds a solid 3.8-star rating, reflecting its reliable fast-food foundation.
Beyond the viral whole bird, the lineup includes Crispy Chicken, Original Recipe Chicken, and a Chicken Burger, along with a promotional variant. For travelers craving a familiar logo but an unfamiliar menu, this outpost delivers precisely that: KFC’s core competency wrapped in regional flavors, served with the chain’s dependable efficiency.

KFC in China has unique items like whole fried chicken and mala chicken ribs, with tender chicken but not as good as Five Star Chicken in Thailand.
Dishes mentioned
Whole Fried Chicken
The chicken is so tender. Picking it up nearly makes it fall apart. Super tender. It doesn't feel like fried chicken. Is it even fried? This is the thigh part. Let me pull it. It's so tender it comes apart easily. Look at this! The bone just came off like this! Overall, the chicken is tender, but it still can't beat Five Star Chicken in Thailand. It has a nice chili smell, though.
Crispy Chicken
The skin is just like KFC in Thailand. But in Thailand, the flavor is stronger. It's hot. The powder is nice. But the spicy wing powder is more like mala. So hot! So juicy! Look! Wow, the chicken meat! Great! Look at the chicken meat. The skin is good. The chicken is so juicy! Look! Awesome!
Original Recipe Chicken
It's really tender! It's like the one in Thailand. It really is.
Chicken Burger
The bread is so soft. Just like in Thailand. Like in Thailand.
Chicken Burger Promotion
It has 2 pieces of chicken instead of bread, with sauce, pineapple, and bacon inside. Let's try! It's good, but a bit strange. It's not like pizza. The sauce is similar to Thousand Island. Sweet and tangy, a bit weird but good.
