What is Mochiko?
Mochikoもち粉 is a type of glutinous rice flour (or sweet rice flour) made from mochigome which is glutinous short-grain Japanese rice. It is sometimes called Gyuhiko 求肥粉 or Daifukuko 大福粉. Known for its sticky and chewy texture, mochiko is primarily used to make Japanese pastry and sweets.
Is this chicken gluten free?
Yes, however we work in a kitchen that serves gluten-based products. Although we do not use gluten in the preparation of the chicken itself, we do prefer to top the chicken with gochujang mayo (our gochujang contains gluten, malted wheat flour) and we will only ever serve King’s Hawaiian Sweet Rolls for our sandwiches (also contains gluten). If you want the chicken to be gluten free, just remember to click the “no gochujang mayo” button when ordering and you will be Gucci!
Why only Polar brand sodas?
Brah, This is Marlborough. If we had a local soda pop company, we would rep it for sure. Polar is a Worcester based brand and we’ve taken our local pledge #508.
Why do you only have one smoothie?

How is this chicken better than other fried chicken?
Not better, just different. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, however we take this chicken game way too serious. We want to get 1% better every day, we want to make amazing happen for you at mealtime. This is why our menu is small, it allows us to focus on doing one thing. Killer fried chicken!
Why are you only on Grubhub?

I want a Chicken Breast or Chicken Wings but I don’t see any options for that?
We only sell thighs, we will only ever sell thighs.
Why is this named Mochiko Hawaiian Fried Chicken?

Why put egg & potato into a Macaroni Salad?

Why is your Hot Chili Sauce so goooood?
The secret ingredient is gluten-free fish sauce. I know, it sounds weird…Not weird, delicious!
What is Kewpie mayonnaise?
Kewpie is a little different than American mayo, because it's made with only egg yolks—not whole eggs—and with rice or apple vinegar and no added salt or sugar. It's bottled in a slim red-and-clear container, with an emblematic baby for its logo. But the real secret to Kewpie's cult-following is a healthy dose of MSG (flavor enhancer).
