金春禧的一个差评：

一点不正宗，特意来吃枣庄辣子鸡，结果做成了新疆大盘鸡，竟然内脏一块都没有，还敢自称一只整鸡，竟然收费118，真是坑！！！

Yīdiǎn bù zhèngzōng. Tèyì lái chī zǎozhuāng làzǐ jī, jiéguǒ zuò chéngle xīnjiāng dàpán jī, jìngrán nèizàng yīkuài dōu méiyǒu, hái gǎn zìchēng yī zhi zhěng jī, jìngrán shōufèi 118, zhēnshi kēng!!

Not authentic at all. I came here specifically to eat Zao Zhuang Spicy Chicken, but it turned out to be Xinjiang Big Plate Chicken, without any internal organs. They still dared to call it a whole chicken, but charged 118. What a rip-off!!!
