Chinese Chicken Burger (チャイニーズチキンバーガー)

  • Signature

The number one seller and the reason people queue: three pieces of karaage fried chicken coated in a sweet, savoury and slightly spicy glaze, with lettuce and mayonnaise in a bun. The founder says it married his mother’s chicken dishes for guests with the American burger. Sticky, crunchy and very moreish.

The story

Ō Ichirō has written that when guests came to the house, his mother would welcome them with her chicken dishes, and that the burger is that home cooking “married” to the American hamburger. It was developed as a Chinese-style burger to set Lucky Pierrot apart from the national chains, and it quickly became the shop’s most popular item.

About Lucky Pierrot

  • Japan
  • Since 1987
  • $

Ō Ichirō opened the first Lucky Pierrot in Hakodate, at the southern tip of Hokkaido, in June 1987. He named it after a circus he remembered from childhood: a pierrot is not the star of the show but keeps it going, and “Lucky” was added to chase away the clown’s sad image. Every branch has its own theme, from a merry-go-round in a forest to a room full of Santa Claus figures, film posters or Elvis memorabilia, many from the founder’s own collections.

About seventeen restaurants, all in and around Hakodate in southern Hokkaido.
