I had a hankering for some OG yangyeom Korean fried chicken one night and placed an order through UberEats for their soy garlic boneless set. First looks were so promising - the sauce glistened invitingly, the pieces looked plump and juicy, and the aroma coming off the box was driving me mad. I could tell at first bite that this wasn't it. The batter was thick and had absorbed a lot of the grease, making each bite drip in an unlovely manner. The pieces that were more batter than actual chicken were especially hard to down. It looks like I'm on an island with my experience since there are so many rave reviews. Since a lot of positive reviews are coming from those who dined in, I wonder if the textures and flavors of my order suffered during the delivery process. As for me, I'm still on the hunt for excellent Korean fried chicken in Northern NJ. read more

I came from New York City to get food from here. I ordered the food literally when I left the Bronx and it's been almost 40 minutes and it's still not ready... I have two young kids with me and it's ridiculous... This should never should've happened. I specifically ordered it earlier so that this would not happen because I was with my young kids. There's no one to even really contact because everything is so automated here. read more

Absolutely love it here!! Every single option I've tried on their menu has yet to disappoint, typically finishing every morsel of food that comes my way! I will say, though it is a chicken spot, the shrimp burger is my hands down favorite. If you haven't tried it yet, go there as soon as possible! The location is small, but cute little area in the front to eat if you want, the staff is extremely friendly, the only problem I have is limited parking, but not anywhere near a big enough deterrent from coming back. Absolutely recommend! read more

This review is purely on their boneless Heaven medium box. Going in, I expected one thing and came out with another. I expected the boneless chicken to be like any other Korean fried chicken joint. The chicken to be nicely breaded fried and smothered through in sauce. What I got was a box of fried chicken drizzled with sauce - not enough to coat all the pieces. It would've been better to have the sauce on the side and just dip it like I would a chicken nugget. The sauces were good but ultimately the current set up leaves some pieces with no sauce. My favorite sauces were the classic soy garlic and sos Korean spicy. Overall I'd probably recommend you selecting something else on the menu as this entree was a pass for me. Service on the other hand was great. The guy working was friendly and even offered more sauces to us but I suppose that normally would've cost extra. read more

Found this random hole in the wall joint while looking for some Korean fried chicken. Got like a box of 5 different boneless wings box. There must have been like 25-30 wings for $20. Great value. The sauces are amazing too. Particularly the citrus honey - it's their best flavor. Would def like to try it on their fried chicken itself. Their other sauces were great too. Box comes with a side and we got fries and just standard fries. There's a couple small tables in an enclosed outdoor section and some stools. read more

This is a small little gem I found through a Yelp NJ post on instagram. Everything in the post was true- & as the post said, do not leave without trying the fried chicken!! My co-worker and I were in the area and decided to take advantage and visit Bloom Chicken. The inside is small, with a covered porch-like dining area that is intimate, casual and cozy. When you go in there is really only room for the kitchen and ordering area. We ordered our food and the man who helped us asked if we were staying. We were, and it was a cold and rainy day so he helped us with setting up a heater near our table and was very attentive and polite, it really felt like making us feel welcome was his # 1 priority. My coworker ordered the beef bulgogi cup bap which had thin sliced bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, corn, pickled onions, & a fried egg to top it all off. She really enjoyed it, the rice had a kick and she's sensitive to spice but had no issues! I ordered the bulgogi burger and it was unlike anything I've ever had before! The mesh of flavors was amazing and the side of fries were perfectly seasoned, hot & crispy. It was a little messy but let's face it, messy food usually tastes best! We didn't want to visit Bloom Chicken and not get their chicken, so we split a small order of the boneless crispy wings in the soy garlic sauce. *chefs kiss* they were saucy, crispy and my word the portion was GENEROUS! read more

Ordered take out and OH EM GEE. I could've have gotten better wings! IMO, much better than Pek Pek chicken or Bon Chon! I placed my order online and my husband went to pick up and they made it FRESH while he was there. At first I was like, what's the point of ordering online if they're just gonna cook it when he's there? But trust me, well worth it! I would suggest calling them directly to place an order rather than ordering online to save you some $$! The wings had the right amount of crispiness and the chicken was SO juicy. I ordered them plain with the sauce on the side (lots of options) and a side of fries. I'm a crispy French fries kinda person so the crispiness of EVERYTHING was straight up my ally! They have other food options as well and I'll definitely be going back to try their shrimp burger...and all the other menu items as well! Highly recommend ! read more

Delicious food. Period. Killer! And the portions on the sampler are bigger than you think!

I've been to this place three times and each one the food has not been good, it has been outstanding! Here is why: A) They vent their boxes. You have to let the steam escape so the food doesn't get soggy. I unexpectedly had to wait 25 minutes to eat after I picked up my order and the fries were still crispy AF. Other businesses, are you listening? B) They don't skimp on the flavor or portions. I've only seen a shrimp burger a couple of times on other menus but never this thick and well-balanced. The coleslaw was so good, just a hint of heat but great wasabi essence. C) Service is always super friendly and enthusiastic when I pick up and there's a nice vibe in the shop. I've gotten their fried chicken, monster chicken sandwich and now the shrimp burger. Trying to make my way through the menu so their bowls will be next. read more

As a lover of Korean fried chicken, any time I drive by a kfc place that I've never tried before, I add it to my to-do list. I finally had the chance to try Bloom Chicken and I can confidently say that I'll be visiting this place on a fairly regular basis. I got a large boneless chicken box, which comes with five varieties of boneless chicken, plus fries. It was plenty of food for four people, and the chicken was excellent. It was juicy, flavorful, and tender. I also tried the kale salad, which was good but not a must-get. read more

Bada Bing, Bada Bloom! A definite must try in my book. Everything was delicious and freshly made. The Shrimp Burgers are made with fresh shrimp that the chef chops up every morning. Thick, juicy and flavorful shrimp patty topped with wasabi coleslaw, lettuce and drizzled with garlic aioli. The Drumsticks are juicy, crispy and oh so tender. Every bite, scrumptious. The Bulgogi Burger oozing with korean style marinated thin slices of tender beef, cheese sauce, lettuce and drizzled horseradish aioli. The french fries were crispy and flavorful. A perfect companion that is included with the burgers. Portions were very generous. Customer service with top notch. Definitely coming back for more. read more

Stopped by this place more than a few times and haven't tried the fried chicken yet. Don't know why, but each time, I visited, I wasn't in the mood for fried chicken, but I was in the mood for a rice dish. I tried both the bulgogi with kimchi fried rice and the spicy chicken cup bap. Both were pretty good, although the bulgogi with kimchi fried rice was a bit better. I usually don't eat kimchi fried rice with bulgogi, I eat it with white rice, but the combination was pretty good. One of these days, I'll be back for the fried chicken. read more

The Korean BBQ and soy garlic wings here are delicious. Got twenty wings of each along with their wasabi coleslaw which had a pretty nice kick! The bulgolgi burger was huge and came with a decent amount of fries that was good to even share among four of us. I prefer this over bonchon and put this right up there with BBQ chicken/don chicken. Really enjoyed this! Parking is a little tough but I parked in the Popeyes and walked over to realize they do have a very small lot on the back side. Ordered and waited about 20 mins. I was surprised their radish side was purple but still good. read more

This place is SO GOOD. I wish I had taken a picture of our order but trust that I'll be back to update this review with some. There is some half-indoor-outdoor seating but overall you're better off ordering the food to-go. We ordered the Boneless Heaven Medium which is a box of their boneless chicken with 5 different sauces organized in a box with five different rows. I also got a side of fries with it as well. We got Soy Garlic, sweet & Spicy, miso bbq, and citrus honey. This chicken was sooo crispy and juicy. highly recommend and will be back for sure!! read more

Bloom Chicken - Soy Garlic wings with Fries - Korean Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Completely blown away by all the Korean inspired flavors in the chicken wings and boneless wings. Everything I ate was absolutely delicious. The wings are a must try. The boneless wing sampler box had 5 flavors ( soy garlic , sweet and spicy, Korean BBQ, SOS Spicy, and Citrus Honey) with a side of dumplings or side of your choice. I got the Large and it was way too much for 2 people. I also tried the Monster Spicy Chicken Sandwich which was also tender crispy fried chicken with spicy sauce, cheese sauce , lettuce , pickled onion , and Horseradish Aioli , truffle fries on the side were fresh and crispy also with white truffle oil , and Parmesan cheese. Coleslaw on side was fresh and crunchy. Must try the wings here. Friendly , fast service. Not much room to sit , maybe 6-7 seats. Seems like mostly takeout. Would also like to try their other location in Verona NJ. read more

I had the soy garlic boneless chicken lunch combo with truffle fries (or regular fries -- both are very flavorful). The chicken and fries were perfectly crunchy, not soggy. I also tried the rose creamy rice cakes, but personally, I didn't like them -- they had a weird, pungent taste. I'd definitely prefer the regular spicy rice cakes instead, which taste much better. Overall, it's a good spot to order lunch from! read more

Great fired chicken. If you like dark meat this is your place! There flavors are all really good and I love that they have the sample meals. The sides are also very good. Place is super small inside so I'd definitely recommend bringing it home and eating. The workers are very nice in there. The dumplings are very good also. Prices are very fair. I just wish they had an option to substitute for white meat. read more

This place is FANTASTIC. I ordered food for delivery so I will only be reviewing the food...which was absolutely delicious. I ordered the boneless chicken, fries and a side of their pork dumplings. Everything arrived fresh like it was just brought from the kitchen. Boneless chicken had a generous portion, plenty to have leftovers or to share with someone else. Fries were cooked very well but the dumplings were the game changers for me. They are fried so I just assumed they would be a little soft (due to delivery) but they were not. They had a great crunch to them and I'm not sure what kind of sauce they came with but it was distributed equally on all of the dumplings and elevated the dish significantly. Everything was very well seasoned. I would not hesitate to order delivery from them again. read more

Guilty little pleasure on occasion.....fried chicken isn't the healthiest, of course, but I love the boneless over rice. I've tried the sesame garlic, hot & spicy , and citrus honey; all are addictive. You say to yourself I will only have a couple bites and then you keep going back for more. Small location, friendly staff, with a diverse, flavorful menu which sould hit the spot for multiple tastebuds. read more

Probably the only thing that outshines the food here is the incredible customer service! We've gone to the owner's other locations locally to us, and Sean impressively remembered my wife and me! At their other locations, the fried chicken was easily our favorite we've ever had. And having it at this location, is DID NOT disappoint! Even though there are a number of places to get Korean style fried chicken near us, I will always choose bloom chicken wings not only for their incredible taste, but the high class service! Even though we ordered takeout, this chicken is too good to not eat right away! read more

Delicious place to get Korean fried chicken in Hackensack - very crispy and enjoyable texture overall. The fries were also good! The hidden gem was the butternut squash soup.

Placed order online through their website at 12:45. I showed up to pickup at 1, nobody was working the counter and the two "chefs" didn't speak English. In the 10 minutes I was waiting for someone to come back, I watched flies land on the cutting board used to prepare chicken, the worker then proceeded to place the cutting board on top of the trash and then back on top of another cutting board used for chicken. I thought this was an episode of kitchen nightmares...the location is a hole in the wall with the front and back door wide open with no AC. FLIES EVERYWHERE. read more

I went with a group of 6 and we sat in their little outdoor/indoor shed. It was comfortable enough. Food is definitely worth it for Jersey. Wings were crispy and juicy. Loved that they have tons of flavors as options. Truffle fries are definitely worth. Service is great. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. Ask for their medical profession discount! I forgot to ask for myself but I won't forget next time because I would go back. Thank you for reading! Enjoy! read more

We had a dinner to go to in Rochelle Park, NJ, and amazingly hit very little traffic so we got to the town 40 minutes early. What is a Yelper to do with time to kill? Try out a 5 star rated restaurant of course. We have had some mediocre KFC (Korean fried chicken) experiences lately so when I saw this place had 5 stars, I had to try it and I am so glad I did. The wings here are very good! They remind me of Yetnal in Queens, which is a big compliment. Very juicy and pretty meaty. If you are in the area, this place is worth a stop. Parking is a pain though because even though there is parking in the rear, it is tiny. And the inside seating is also tiny, so takeout is probably best option. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. We ordered through doordash and the food tasted great so I can't imagine how much better it would be in person. I got the monster chicken sandwich. The chicken was sooo soft and tender. A little kick that you got used to but absolutely delicious. I took a bite of the shrimp burger which is almost like a shrimp tempura in a patty shape. Very unique and delicious. Definitely check it out, I have leftovers for lunch today since the portions are large. Super excited for it pt 2! read more

So so good. We ordered take out and tried 4 different types of wings. We also ordered plain wings, just in case we wanted to dip it in a sauce we liked the most. They were all yummy. I do think the wings should be labeled because we ordered two different types of wings separately to distinguish which was the one we didn't like, but they tasted exactly the same, or perhaps we were given the wrong sauce one of the times. We presume it was the miso wings. read more

Glad this place opened up recently near my sisters house about 5 minute drive away. Will definitely been ordering here from now on. I've tried 5 other Korean fried chicken spots in Bergen county so far, and I would have to say this one is the best tasting and affordable. Not to mention this place is super clean, fresh made to order, I waited about 3 minutes for them to fresh fry the fries because Sean (Shawn?) wanted them to be piping hot before packing. Super friendly staff here, very welcoming and personable. The wings are perfectly seasoned, the meat itself is flavorful as they were probably brined beforehand. The crunchy texture is enough to soak the sauce but not get soggy at all, even after driving back to the house to eat. My favorite wings were the soy garlic wings. Not too salty but best flavor. Get the cheese for the fries! Reminds me of carnival cheese which is the best. And most surprising of all was the butternut squash soup. I mean I was SHOCKED how damn good it was. If you don't like butternut squash this will convert you like religion. Incredible. Best $7 spent lol read more

Staff/owner works extremely hard to make this place a success. The online pickup orders from hospital staff and neighborhood customers were nonstop on a weekend. In-house sit-in diners were minimal due to limited seating. That goes to show the carryout option is a HUGE success. Usually, takeouts are generally deemed as a "last resort" or "no choice" route but can never compare to the freshly-made on the spot sit down way. THIS joint has proved itself to double down on carry-outs, and flew way above five stars. read more

Discovered this place on Uber Eats and have been ordering from them ever since. Their portions of generous and their Korean fired chicken is delicious. The breading is a little thicker than what I am use to but the flavors are there. The tenders are juicy and portions are huge. The small can feed two people. The kale salad can feed a family. The cheese rice cakes were meh. Still need to try their sandwiches. Hope to one day visit the store and dine in but so far delivery have not disappointed. Food arrives hot and it tastes delicious, can't really ask for more than that. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! I always come back for the shrimp burger and boneless chicken. The shrimp burger stays juicy and crispy, even after a 30-minute drive home. The soy sauce boneless chicken is a must-try--it's my kids' favorite, and we love mixing it with the crispy option and a side of SOS sauce. Perfect for movie nights with beer--you won't stop eating! If you don't like sauce-tossed chicken, get the crispy with sauce on the side. Also, their crispy spicy rice cake (not too spicy!) is a hidden gem. Definitely worth trying! read more
