Tucked away in a Yishun industrial estate, ICG Chicken & Burger has quietly earned a 4.9-star rating on Google Maps from over 900 reviewers, a score that would make any city-centre restaurant envious. For those willing to venture into Yishun's industrial side, the reward is fried chicken, burgers and Korean-inspired comfort food at prices that feel like a different decade. The stall sits at 2 Yishun Industrial Street 1, unit #01-11, and has been running as a neighbourhood secret for several years, with the recent surge in Google reviews finally pushing it onto the radar of foodies outside Yishun.
What to Order
The menu at ICG Chicken & Burger is built around three pillars: fried chicken, burgers and Korean-inspired comfort food. The pricing is accessible enough that you can build a full meal for four without breaking the SGD 70 mark.
- Fantastic Four Party Set (SGD 63.90): Loaded with fried chicken, burgers and sides, a feast for four. This is the order that most regulars recommend for first-timers because it gives you a sample of every section of the menu.
- Hawaiian Pizza (SGD 18.90): A surprising menu item for a fried chicken joint, but the reviews are consistently positive. The crust is hand-stretched, the pineapple is balanced by a smoky ham, and the cheese pull is real.
- Ginseng Chicken Soup (SGD 13.90): A Korean comfort classic, hearty, restorative and unexpected in an industrial estate. The soup is simmered for hours with a whole chicken leg, ginseng root, jujube and garlic, and it is the order that draws the most repeat visits from the lunchtime Yishun Industrial crowd.
The Fried Chicken
The fried chicken is the headline order at ICG, and the reason the 4.9-star rating holds up. The chicken is marinated overnight in a buttermilk and Korean spice blend, then dredged in a seasoned flour and double-fried to order. The result is a crust that shatters when you bite into it, with juicy, well-seasoned meat underneath. The chicken comes in original, spicy and soy-galbi flavours, with the spicy version carrying a real kick that builds as you eat. A 6-piece box runs around SGD 14.90, and a 12-piece box runs around SGD 27.90, which is what most tables order for sharing.
The Vibe
This is not a polished Orchard Road eatery. ICG Chicken & Burger is a neighbourhood gem in the truest sense, casual, affordable and run by people who care about the food. The space is a simple industrial-unit setup with a counter, a few tables and a self-service water station, and the kitchen is visible from the counter so you can watch the chicken being fried to order. The overwhelmingly positive reviews speak to consistency and quality that keep customers returning, and the staff remember regular orders after a few visits, which is the kind of personal touch that drives the high ratings.

Why the 4.9-Star Rating Matters
A 4.9-star rating from over 900 Google reviews is statistically remarkable, especially for an industrial-estate stall with no marketing budget and no social media presence. The rating reflects consistency across hundreds of visits, with reviewers consistently highlighting the freshness of the chicken (fried to order, never pre-cooked), the value for money and the friendly service. The location in an industrial estate is a real differentiator, the rent is lower than a mall unit, which lets ICG keep prices low, and the industrial setting means the lunch crowd is a mix of factory workers, office staff and foodies who made the trip up from town.
If you are planning a visit, the lunch peak between 12pm and 1:30pm is the busiest slot because the Yishun Industrial workforce descends on the stall. Come before 11:30am or after 2pm if you want to skip the queue, and the dinner service from 6pm to 8pm is noticeably calmer than lunch. Parking is available along Yishun Industrial Street 1, and the stall accepts both cash and PayNow. The Fantastic Four Party Set is the order that most first-time visitors go for, and it is the one that explains the 4.9-star rating more than any single menu item.
