Open Tue–SunOur Story
Crunch Republic first opened in Christchurch in 2013 with one simple mission:
Serve ridiculously good Korean fried chicken.
Every piece is marinated, coated and double-fried to create the crispy texture we're known for. We then finish it with one of our signature sauces, made to keep you coming back for more.
Now we're proud to bring that same flavour, crunch and quality to the Ashburton community. Whether you're dining in, picking up or ordering delivery, we're here to satisfy your chicken cravings.
