This is a nice small spot in a plaza full of different food stores. The service was good and it took about 15 minutes to make. I didn't know what to expect but these wings were solid. I asked for a large hot and spicy wings and asked for it well done and a side of fries. The reason why I won't give this place 5 stars is because they should have a level rating for their spicy wings. I expected it to be a little hot not too bad but THESE are hot. It's almost a challenge to eat it and they provided no type of sauce on the side which is diabolical. I was about to get through about 7 wins before tapping out because my lips were on fire and I was breaking a sweat. Maybe I'll try to finish them off tomorrow. If I would've ordered the original and if it was cooked well done like these were I feel like it would've been at least 4.5 stars but the no sauce definitely drops them a little. I do recommend them but I would stray away from the hot and spicy or if you do try it's at your own risk. 4 stars read more

Great korean fried chicken with a couple unique and tasty options. I think the coating is a little too thick, maybe because of the extra potato crunch. They have pretty good dipping sauces as well but you have to pay - we like the kbbq and their 101 sauce. Ddukbokki has fish cake and some chewy glass noodle. I think the rice cake is a bit overcooked and the 101 one would probably be better than rose cuz it is more on the sweet and fatty side. It is pretty spicy for me. At this location, there are only 2 outdoor tables for dine in. read more

There isn't much ambiance since it's basically a robot and its friendly helpers! I got the Dirty Chicken and Rice (hot), even though it reminded me of Patton Oswalt. A very friendly man handed it off to me to take home. It was spicy, creamy, and crunchy and overall very satisfying! read more

After hearing so much about the innovative cooking robot used here, I decided to try 101 Chicken. As promised, my chicken was perfectly prepared, moist and tender on the inside, and a crunchy batter on the outside. I tried the garlic flavored boneless chicken. The portion size was better than expected, and it came with a side of pickled radish. Anther nice touch was including gloves with the napkins and utensils for "no mess" eating! Having tried other Korean chicken establishments, this is one of the best! read more

We ordered and ate their original Korean boneless chicken. It was a bit dry and very crispy. We also ordered French fries which were insanely delicious. Not my favorite Korean fried chicken however, it was very clean and very nicely served. I loved that the fries were not soggy but crispy and crunchy. The chicken needs to be more tender and juicy. read more

Delivery Order: Absolutely loved their Fried Chicken. Super crunchy on the outside but inside was soft and juicy. Did not try anything else from their Menu but would definitely order from here again. read more

101 Chicken - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

To start the service was very lackluster. The gentleman working the counter was very awkward and short (in words). Especially as a new place, wouldn't mind some insight on the menu and options. Chicken: honestly didn't like the batter/breading at all. Not sure how this won in a competition. I got the dry spiced wings that weren't evenly coated. So some wings had heavier seasoning but some barely had any. Disappointing to say the least. Hot take: don't think they'll be open for long. But with robots operating, who knows. read more

101 Chicken - Korean Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

We were very excited to try this new Korean fried chicken shop in Fort Lee! It's in the plaza that's separated from Fort Lee Main Street, on the other side of the highway. The restaurant is small and mostly a takeout place. There is a kiosk to order from, a counter and one large high top table. The whole place smells like fried chicken. They have a robot that dunks the chicken into the friers and fries the chicken for you. My kid got a kick out of watching the robot do its thing. We had the soy honey chicken drumsticks, which had just the right level of sweetness. The skin was nice and crispy and it felt like it was fried by a person and not a robot. We also had fries, which were... standard, but a good vessel for the sauce. My suggestion would be to call in advance and order, or order on your favorite food app. We ordered in the kiosk and it took 35 minutes for them to make our order! They felt bad and offered us water and added some of the 101 sauce as well (which tasted good, by the way, similar to a certain fast food burger chain in California), but 35 minutes is just way too long. read more

I've been here few times. I think they don't preseasoned the chicken before frying it. Once you get pass the sauce chicken is super bland. The original wings tasteless, almost no seasoning. read more

After moving away from Fort Lee, I haven't really tried too many new places and instead stuck to my usuals (MDNH, BCD Tofu, Busan, SRG, etc.). But I heard good things about this new fried chicken place located right behind where we used to live. It's located on the south side of Washington Bridge Plaza on the same line as Kung Fu Tea and the sushi place, where the Chinese takeout place used to be. There isn't much space for eating in, but they did manage to squeeze in seating for up to 8 people max. Plan accordingly. We ordered our food at the counter (there's also an automated kiosk), and sat down to wait. After a few minutes our order was ready. The chicken came out hot and crispy, and the cheese balls were excellent. As far as the dipping sauces go you've had similar spicy sauces elsewhere, so I was drawn more to the 101 sauce and the Truffle Mayo sauce. My son ordered the 101 Potato Crisp sandwich, but I ended up being too full to try a bite of it this time. The service was great, and I look forward to coming again, the next time I'm around this way and find myself in the mood for some good fried chicken. read more

I tend to be a bit wary of restaurants with gimmicks, so when I heard that a robot chicken spot was opening up I was a bit skeptical. Ultimately, when I decided to give this place a try, the robotic arm didn't have much of an impact on my experience. Just a fun piece of machinery that fries chicken and is something to tell your kids about. Both the quality of the chicken and the crunch/texture of the breading are very good. The prices are comparable to other chicken spots in the area. The interior is cozy, but very clean and modern-looking. However, neither the breading nor the chicken is sufficiently seasoned. Both the original and potato crisp are very bland by themselves, to the point that some kind of dipping sauce is required. The main issue is that all the flavors I've tried so far (Soy Honey and Garlic Crumble) are excessively sweet. Maybe the intent was to get customers to purchase the dipping sauces which, if true, is a fact they should advertise more. The chicken sandwich is just okay. The fillet is a bit thinner than other chicken sandwiches I've had, but I think that's mostly due to the abundance of great chicken sandwich places in this area. The cheese balls were good though. Overall, it was a bit of a lackluster experience. Though I'll be sticking with my usual chicken joints for now, considering they only opened this year I may be back in the future to try again. read more

This review is about Ridgefield Park location which for some reason is not on Yelp. There is no other place in NJ/NY that reminds me of fried chicken I ate when I visited Korea. I tried most flavors and loved all of them. Their chicken have thick crust that maintain the mouth feel even when getting cold. How do I know? While I always try to pick up my fried chicken orders ASAP, last time I was late when I picked up from here because I couldn't imagine they could have my order ready so fast and still tasted like freshly cooked. So the chicken I got was not as warm as I used to love (MY FAULT), but that time I loved them as much. Miracle! Before 101, contenders of my favourite Korean fried chicken was: Peck Peck in Teaneck Choongman in Ridgefield Tore-ore in HMart Ridgefield (This is the only location that I know of this Korean chain. Another miracle why they keep this location open.) read more

Was a pretty big hype in some parts of the korean community. Maybe my expectations were high as a robot fries your chicken and this was a winner from some kind of korean competition. To be honest... nothing special... in my opinion. The chicken itself is very soft and moist so good for the chewing. Also had the 101 potato crisp but it just tasted like the Dorito chip chicken. Overall it wasn't but didnt really meet my expectations. read more

Chicken is not good and I read the reviews on this place before ordering and the dude that said it was garbage was spot on.

It was garbage. ordered through Uber Eats. The delivery was the only thing that was correct & good. We took a few bites. Went right in the garbage. Disgraceful read more

heard the news said a robot Fried chicken restaurant just want to chick it out is better than a human chef. So I ordered the potato crips outside is very krispy but the meat is kind of taste less. Probably need to salted better if u see my post one more suggestion a skinless chicken wing might attract more customers. read more

TL;DR Food: fave Korean fried chicken in the area. Service: Efficient. Not the best, not the worst. Ambiance: Clean, well lit, typical Korean modern. These reviews are so surprising! I've tried multiple Korean fried chicken spots in the area, and this is definitely my favorite. At first, I thought the robot arm was gimmicky, but after trying different flavors at the different times I've been here, the chicken is cooked consistently and juicy every time unlike some of the other places I've been to (some obviously reheat and the meat becomes way too dry and rubbery). One of the reviews mentioned that the Soy Honey is too sweet for them. It's really all preference, but it's still my favorite flavor they have (I've tried 4 different flavors so far). Giving this 4 stars because I could do without the cheeseballs and the rosé tteokbokki but the chicken is spot on! read more

Overpriced. Charges $3 for ONE dipping sauce. Place is usually empty, don't think it'll last. Chicken is okay. Nothing bad but nothing great. read more

My new favorite place for Korean fried chicken! The Potato crispy chicken was crisp, but not too rough or thick on the outside and tender on the inside. I have a 5 yr old who finished half of the box himself. I really liked the Potato crispy with the special 101 sauce. My husband's favorite was the Supreme. The sauce has that traditional side of the Korean spicy sauce, but with an extra kick. Hard to describe, but it is definitely the menu we will continue to get. Very happy! The delivery came on time and the chicken was still hot. read more

My wife's order of chicken and waffles oddly contained cinnamon to which she's sensitive. The counterman made no effort to credit her for the unacceptable order. I'm quite sure my wings were likely cross-contaminated. read more

Wanted to try out this new restaurant but so disappointed. Order the 101 potato crisp award winning chicken and this is the worst chicken I have ever had. They put some pink artificial powder outside the chicken and it is sweet and sour which make the chicken taste very weird . The chicken is very crispy but inside is very bland. The seasoning doesn't penetrate deeply inside. The pink powder outside make the chicken flavor so weird and does not fit with the crispy potatoe. $2 for the sauce is ridiculous. read more

Unfortunately I did not take pictures of my food but I ordered 4 different flavors of their wings (supreme, hot & spicy, sweet & spicy, and soy garlic), 2 rose tteokbokki (one with cheese and one without), 1 potato crisp chicken sandwich, and the french fries with garlic. Overall, all of the food was quite good. The chicken isn't the super crispy type and it has more of a sticky sauce. It was pretty juicy even thought I picked up the food a bit later than I should have and the sauces tasted great. The soy garlic wasn't the type I enjoy / am used to but the other flavors more than made up for it. The chicken sandwich was tasty and juicy and not dry at all. My friends and I killed the french fries although I wish there was a bit more in there per order. The Rose chicken tteokbokki has good flavor but the rice cake isn't the best texture-wise. Overall, I wish I could give the place a 4.5 stars but I will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

service was really good! they gave us a free yuzu ranch dressing, which was honestly so gooodddd!!! the chicken was crispy and flavorful, not too salty, just right. the seating area is kind of small, but tbh it's not a kind of "sit in" restaurant, more like something you would bring home and enjoy! read more
