Koala Moa Rotisserie Chicken is one of those places I've driven passed countless times, always meaning to stop and try it. Finally that day came and I gave it a try.

Although they also serve ribs, the main attraction here is the rotisserie chicken that's cooked outside the restaurant on huge, charcoal grills. You can usually see the smoke and smell the deliciousness blocks away.

Naturally, I got the chicken. A Large Plate gives you a half of a chicken, a scoop of corn, and two scoops of rice for $8.95 with a medium soda for $2.00 more. So $11 and you have a pretty decent sized lunch that would fill up most. A Jumbo Plate (with a whole chicken) is available for $13.95 and smaller options are available too as are combo chicken and rib plates.

The good news is that the chicken is excellent. Super tasty, moist, and perfectly cooked. Almost as if they've been doing this for years, which they have of course. As for the sides, eh, average at best. The corn tasted like it was straight from a can and the rice was a bit mushy. Still good, but nothing special. Next time I'll just get the chicken without the sides or substitute a salad instead.

The interior is pretty old and outdated and some updating and new paint would go along way here, but it's clean so that's all that really matters to me. The staff was also and friendly.

Will I eat here again? Absolutely. Am I dreaming about eating here again? Not really.
