Impeccable! It's a chill atmosphere. The Korean sandwich is the best for sure. I wouldn't get the Nashville chickwich--a little bland and too much ranch. The fries are crazy crispy and warm. Perfect fries actually. The coleslaw is a nice add too, not necessary tho. Very juicy tho. read more

After passing by this place all the time, we finally stopped in for dinner on a Saturday evening. We were seated immediately, and it seemed like a chill, family-friendly vibe! I had high expectations, but I had to dock a star bc even though the sandwiches were tasty, the chicken was a bit dry and tough for both :( considering the steep prices, I expected more from the sandwiches. The truffle fries were phenomenal though with a generous heaping of cheese! read more

It is instances like this where I wish I could give half stars, because this is a solid three and a half stars. I do not understand why this restaurant is only open for dinner on the weekdays. It is weird to think about considering the output of what they are offering. Unless there is some component to the cooking process that waits a long time, being open for brunch on the weekends seems bizarre. But I digress. The two menu items I ordered here were the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich and their Chicken Ramen. I know, two meals at the complete opposite ends of the spectrum. The chicken sandwich is good, as the chicken is moist and juicy, not super hot by any means, but it is incredibly messy to eat. Without the heat, it feels like a simple southern fried chicken sandwich I could get at nearby Jacob's Pickles. Speaking of which, it does come with a side pickle, which is nice, as it helps aid in the digestion of this sandwich easily. The ramen is a little questionable. The broth is not too heavy, but the noodles in it are too gummy and the rest of the meal seemed rushed. I did not feel this was a bowl of ramen I should be getting here. This is not the place for it. $50 for two menu options is the norm for Upper West Side dining, so consider that before taking the 1 train to eat here. All things considered, I stand by my rating. read more

I had heard about Chick Chick once, in passing, about two years ago, and it wasn't until recently that I finally got the chance to try it. My friend and I came here at her suggestion, and I was so glad she recommended it. Chick Chick blew me away with its flavors. While my friend ordered the chicken sandwich (which she liked), I ordered the gochujang half chicken. The chicken was crispy and coated in a sticky gochujang sauce that was both savory and sweet. It was delicious, and I ate it happily. The chicken was topped with crushed peanuts, which I think would have been better had it been topped with roasted garlic instead. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my order and would get it again. We also ordered the truffle parmesan fries, which were the best I've ever had - and I've had plenty of parmesan fries in my lifetime! The grated parmesan was particularly precious. It had that wonderful slight funk with a hint of umami. It was so good, I didn't want to waste a single morsel. Although I did have my eyes on their mochi donuts, I was so full by the end of the meal that I vowed to return for it. Chick Chick, save a seat for me - I'll be back. read more

Fast and delicious, and I know they have a Michelin bib - meaning they are supposed to be "good food at a moderate price," but its still hard for me to justify 3 chicken tenders for $18 as moderately priced no matter how tasty or well-sauced. Not sure I would eat there regularly, but it was a tasty treat. The service was great, the staff was friendly, the table was small & kind of cramped (especially with big winter coats), so I might get it to go if you live nearby so you can sit comfortably. read more

Oh boy. This sandwich was DECADENT. The fluffy, airiness, and crispness, of Korean fried chicken never ceases to amaze me. The Upper West Chicken Waffle Sandwich was so good. Two of us shared, and it was definitely enough to satisfy us. I think if you are one alone you would have no choice but to take a nap afterwords LOL. Eating the acidic pickles, with the creamy/fresh slaw, topped with the salty bacon, all on that sweet spicy gochujang chicken and blanketed in a sweet sweet waffle was like biting into a piece of heaven. You really took this bite by bite to soak in the flavors. This is where I wish I was born a cow so I'd have three more stomachs to stuff with chicken. But alas. The spot is cozy, dark, with neon lights. They have these two person booths, which probs the narrowest seat on earth, but other than that it was a nice warm spot to be on a cold winter night. read more

Chick Chick - Upper West - Crispy Waffle Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - New York, New York

Hands down, some of the best Korean fried chicken there is! Perfectly crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside, sauced to perfection! The see fried rice cakes paired so well with the chicken bites! The waffle and chicken sandwich were phenomenal! Everything from the crunch of the slaw to the umami of the cheese, the sweetness of the pickles and spice from the sauce played so well to the crunchy chicken, soft waffle, and crispy bacon. There is absolutely nothing I would change about that UWS sandwich. When you're there, don't sleep on the kimchi mac and cheese! The kimchi cuts through the richness of gooey cheesy pasta , making incredibly addicting. Definitely will be retuning to try their fried rice and salads! read more

Yum yum! Got the chicken sandwich and it was so crispy and satisfying. The chick chick sauce is also so good! If you're not a fan of honey mustard, then this might not be your thing. But 10/10! Service was really good! Fast, friendly, alert, and didn't rush you. There's no AC, ya'll. It was hot. Bring your handheld fans. I also sat in the booth and those seats are tiny and not very comfortable. They also only sit 2 people? Maybe the ones in the back could accommodate more. But honestly, just sit at the bar or on one of the stools. It's also a good spot for small groups. This is why I took a star off :/ But food: 10/10. I'm excited to come back and try the other menu options! read more

I have come twice in the span of less than 3 weeks so that's a good sign. The first time I went I ordered the ten wings with the Korean Sweet Gochujang. The first time I came these wings were perfect the crispiness the amount of sauce just excellent. Yesterday when I order the same wings they were good but not as crispy. They were fine but my first visit was better. Then I ordered the biscuit on both of my visits and both times; I loved the biscuit. Yesterday because I had more people I was able to order more things such as the street corn, the truffle fries and the chicken sandwich. The street corn was good and off the cob which made eating it easier. The truffle parm fries were good and my niece loved them. I think they were fine nothing to reorder. Let's talk about this Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. This sandwich was amazing the chicken was crispy, flavorful and well seasoned. It was spicy but not overly spicy which did not allow you to enjoy the food. The white sauce with the sandwich helped to balance out the spicesness. It was quite delicious and I definitely recommend this spicy sandwich. For my niece the sandwich was too spicy for her but I was able to enjoy it. The service was great; they were really friendly and the food came out fast. The place is nice, small, and cozy. I recommend this place fully and there booths are small. read more

5/5: TLDR - Perhaps on the pricier side depending on what you get, service was a bit of hit or miss and a bit small but when it comes to the food you can tell the craft is there! Ordered: - KSG Sandwich: 5/5 - The sandwich is a mess. Like in the way that you won't find a clean finger to use until you wash your hands. Do not recommend if this is a date or you're trying to impress someone but it was really delicious. I would've thought given the size of it it would've made me lethargic but it being made the way it was, it doesn't leave you heavy at all! A good choice - Biscuit: 3/5 - Was raved by the server. I thought it was a fine biscuit. Nothing to write home about. - Fries: 3/5 - Just...fries, also nothing to write home about. Service: 3.75/5 It was just fine. I think it was giving me the same kind of energy of someone who was new so they felt a little trepid? They never really checked in on us that much and our water wasn't refilled until it was well past empty even though at this point there aren't that many customers in the store. I'm only one to notice the lack of water because I am just a generally thirsty person. Ambiance: 4/5 Its a cute spot! It is small though so during busier times I'm sure you could expect a wait! It is an open kitchen as well and a bar next to it so if you get hot easily definitely don't sit at the bar. I would still recommend this place if someone was in the area! read more

Amazing chicken sandwiches here! We ordered the thai sweet chili chicken sandwiches and truffle fried rice. Food came out super quick and the star of the show was the chicken sandwiches. It was big enough that the bun couldnt cover it all and super juicy and crunchy! I dont usually like pickles but the pickle they gave was slightly sweet and refreshing. The truffle fried rice was also really good with the truffle smell/taste noticeable with each bite. I also liked that the fried rice wasnt too greasy. The only reason I took off one star was because there was this sewage smell - maybe because we were close to their bathroom in the back? Not sure what it was but it did take away from the dine-in experience. Would love to come back and get their other chicken sandwiches - probably for take-out! read more

That chicken waffle chicken sandwich tho. I couldn't stop thinking about it even after gorging myself on so much Chick Chick food . The balance of salty and sweet, crispy and soft is just right . In terms of shareables, I recommend the tenders, the fries, the truffle rice, AND the "Heavenly Crispy Chicken Bites - Sweet & Spicy" - because they come with the yummy rice cakes . The service as friendly, efficient and warm. The seating at the booth feels a bit claustrophobic so if you are someone who needs space - probably take a bar seat . read more

The inside of Chick Chick is set up like a very narrow diner. 10 diner counter seats. 5 or so tables and more counter seats by the window counter too. The place was Michelin rated in 2022. We ordered super tenders with the sweet gochujang sauce, heavenly crispy bites (popcorn chicken bites) sweet and spicy, 2 sides of white kimchi slaw, 2 sides of pickles, truffle parm fries and a K&Q by Christine salad too. $93.63 The truffle parm fries are good, crispy and thin. The salad isn't too bad, heavy on the Parmesan slices, but still an interesting blend of tastes and textures too. Can't decide if I like it or not. Lots of quinoa it. Not a big fan of the white kimchi slaw, more creamy than I was expecting. The heavenly crispy bites with the rice cakes is really good. The rice cakes are nice and chewy and the sweet and spicy sauce makes it really good. The chicken is tender and perfectly cooked. The chicken tenders are decently sized. The sauce is good too. Had thought the waiter meant 3 big slices of pickles, not 3 spears of pickles. They are more sweet, was hoping for dill for some reason in my head, but I didn't ask either. Service was attentive and good for us. The heavenly bites was by far the best part of our meal. Solid 4. The rest of the meal was average. read more

Quality has gone way down. I'm sorry to say. And like many places, pricing their customers out of actually being able to afford it. Seriously a three piece tender, KFC sandwich and fries for $60+? It's good, but not $60 good. Oh and the fries were $14, and we got like 10 fries lol. Yeah, sorry. I'm out. If you don't like money, come here. read more

Not worth the price. It's hard to justify "premium" fried chicken when the quality is poor--large, soggy (not at all crunchy) drumsticks with tough meat and an abundance of blood vessels, DRENCHED in honey. We placed a takeout order and paid upfront, thinking we'd head home, but ultimately chose to sit at one of the many empty tables inside. The only "service" provided was a pitcher of water for us to pour ourselves. Despite receiving no additional service throughout the meal, we were still asked for an extra tip at the end simply because we ate inside. Overall, a disappointing and overpriced experience. read more

Yum! I thought this place was delicious AND had great value. I was able to split a 1/2 chicken order with someone and we still had leftovers for $16. Ordered the Soy Garlic flavor and I liked all of the crispy bits on it. We also ordered a side of white kimchi slaw. My favorite hack is to pour some of the fried chicken crispies on top of the slaw for a sweet and savory dish. The service was great and attentive. We visited close to closing time so the space wasn't too crowded. It was perfect for being able to chat at a normal volume with my group. I'd return here for a group visit! read more

I ordered delivery, which arrived about an hour late sadly. But the food was still good -- the chicken tenders still a little crispy. Really enjoyed the wings with the gochujang and peanuts.

Such a fun spot! In all honesty, I'm not a *huge* fan of fried chicken. I typically feel incredibly lethargic after eating large amounts of it as an entree. So I was a bit wary of coming here when my friends suggested it. But I ended up pleasantly surprised by the food! I think Chick Chick may have changed my mind about fried chicken. We ordered a grape soju cocktail and 2 half chickens: 1 with soy garlic sauce and 1 with sweet gochujang sauce. This was more than enough for three hungry people. Each piece was coated in a generous amount of sauce, and the skin somehow wasn't soggy--each bite had a delightful crunch to it. The gochujang wings were great and the soy garlic ones were just fantastic. Two of us ended up ordering small bowls of rice to eat with the chicken. I recommend eating the chicken with rice; it really elevates the dish. Super fun, cheap place to grab a bite with friends. We will definitely be back again! read more

After seeing the delicious photos on Yelp, I knew I had to come try. This place was definitely worth the hype. You have to try the truffle Parmesan fries. They were super crispy, decorated with fresh shaved Parmesan, and held a lot of truffle flavor. It also came in a big portion so it was definitely worth it. The soy pepper chicken wings are also a must. Super juicy and crispy wings with smoky soy and pepper flavor. The chicken and French toast was ok. There was too much syrup and it overpowered the dish. The chicken wasn't very flavorful and the French toast was a little undercooked. The sandwich was amazing. I'd definitely come back to try all of their menu items. read more

My new favorite chicken sandwich shop in NY. It was everything you want, crispy outside and juicy chicken inside.

I still dream about it and need to go back soon. read more

I went to visit my friend on the UWS and since there was a baby involved, we thought it was easiest to order delivery. I searched Korean and this came up. Surprisingly, I had this place bookmarked already! I always enjoy checking restaurants off my bookmark list. We both went for the KSG-wich, which was essentially a piece of perfectly fried crispy chicken in a sweet Korean sauce. I was surprised that the buns did not get soggy from the delivery time. The French fries, however, did suffer as they were very soft. The delivery was fast and convenient via yelp. There was a delivery fee, a service fee and with tax and tip, which added an extra 10 dollars. read more

This is such a perfect lil piece of fried chicken. It was crispy without being bready and chicken-y without being dry (you KNOW what I mean. Sometimes chicken is too chicken-y, but don't worry about that when you come here!) Our wings were great, though go for the KSG wings over the hot honey ones-- the hot honey kind of just tasted like honey, which we were disappointed about. I absolutely adore breakfast sandwiches, and though this is a very unhealthy version of the breakfast sandwich, I enjoyed it all the same. They put maple syrup on the sandwich but somehow got it so that it didn't make the waffles soggy. I felt the cheese could have come more melty, though. For some reason it seemed like the sandwich had been sitting out for long enough that the cheese hardened and it didn't taste as fresh. All the same, if you like chicken and waffles, you'll definitely enjoy this sandwich. I didn't try my dad and sister's chicken sandwiches, but these babies are absolutely huge. They give you such a generous piece of chicken, and I've come to the conclusion that I don't think you could go wrong with any piece of fried chicken you get here. read more

One of the best places to get perfectly juicy and crispy chicken tenders. As a fan of Nashville Hot tenders, I fell in love with Chik Chik's version in one bite. In addition to serving up beautifully fried chicken they offer some interesting spins on classic side dishes such as the kimchi Mac and Cheese which everyone must try during their visit. The combination of amazing food, cute ambience, and friendly staff makes it the kind of place you have to grab a bit at while in the neighborhood. read more

Came by for some hot chicken on a rainy day in the UWS. It's a little hard to tell from pictures, but there's a number of small booths lining the wall + two tables for slightly larger groups. There's also enclosed outdoor dining in the front. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had the Thai sweet chili chicken sandwich, which was enormous. I'm used to chicken sandwiches being closer to palm sized so it was super surprising and satisfying. It was a little messy to eat since the bun didn't fit around the bread. Towards the end I just cut it up into bite sized pieces. I wish there were a few more cubes of radish or other pickles. I would recommend ordering a side to share with friends in addition to your chicken. Each entree item is more than enough for a meal, but it's nice to just have the flavor of something else to break up the meal. read more

So good. Chicken amazing. But really it's the biscuits that take the show. Drink too.

I've been meaning to try this place for awhile and the bib gourmand finally gave me that final push. The food here speaks for itself, everything is freshly prepared and hot out of the kitchen. If you sit at the bar, you can even watch your meal being prepared since the whole restaurant is an open kitchen concept. My boyfriend and I tried the crispy chicken bites with rice cakes, hot sandwich and chick chick fried rice. The chicken was incredibly crispy and juicy, with mouthwatering flavor and delicious sauces. The fried rice was a delicious spin on the classic kimchi fried rice and had great texture. Overall fantastic spot for fried chicken however you like it; sauced, plain, or spiced. read more

Great spot specializing in various chicken-related dishes (both American and Asian inspired). I ordered the Tori Paitan Ramen (chicken ramen), which was very tasty. The noodles were cooked well and had a proper amount of chewiness. There were lots of tasty bamboo shoots in there. The chicken chashu was a bit plain and the seasoned runny egg was a bit too salty but other than that it was a very solid bowl of ramen. This was supposed to be the non-spicy ramen, but it was still a bit spicy (not too spicy though). I also got the Truffle Parm Fries, which had lots of parmesan cheese on top and was not overly salty like at some other places. They did cut them a bit too small though. The value here is okay - it was $20 for the ramen and $11 for the fries. The interior of the restaurant is kind of narrow with an open kitchen, but there is a decent amount of seating combined between the indoor and outdoor areas. The lady taking orders was friendly and the service speed was quick. I came on a Sunday night and there were several tables occupied, but still a number of tables available. Overall, Chick Chick deserves a solid 4 stars for offering quality ramen and fries. If you are a chicken-lover, ranging from classic wings to chicken ramen, then this is a great place for you. read more

Chick Chick came to my attention during a recent NYC trip, and I knew I would have to visit given my love of chicken tenders. I went during a winter evening, and luckily, there was not too long of a wait for a seat. There are a variety of chicken options on the menu including sandwiches, wings, and ramen. I ordered a set of three tenders with fries, and the tenders were sizable! I appreciated the batter's crunchiness and tender chicken, and the soy garlic sauce was flavorful (you have an option of selecting from a variety of sauces on the menu). The fries were a great addition, and the service was fast and efficient. read more

So, I have been off Yelp for a bit, and have been to this paradise of chicken for like 5-6 times in the past 3 years. I will keep this short: best chicken ever. Hands down. And I live at the Jersey Shore. Stumbled onto this place looking for a chickcn sandwich during the pandemic, during a downtime driving daughter to a Broadwak show, and wow - who knew cheese on fried chieken was that good. Been back for 2-3 dishes when in NYC. Once even DETOURED over the GWB taking daugther back to college in Rhode Island to get a fix. read more

I have been in NY for the last week and I decided to come here because of a friend who suggested that I go here. We came for lunch and we were the second group in. Service was good, no complaints. We were seated right away. Food - At first I was little sad about them not being able to provide two flavors when we got the 10 wing combo. The server suggested that we can have the sauces on the side, so we went with that. As soon as the chicken came out, the wings were juicy and there was enough crunch in every single bite. We decided on soy garlic and the Korean sweet gochujang for the sauce. Both were flavorful, but I would choose the Korean sweet gochujang over the soy garlic. I did over hear the server tell the group next to us that the sweet black pepper soy is their most popular. Overall, I had a great experience and my tummy was happy lol. When I come back to NY, I will be definitely coming back to try that. read more

Chick Chick received the Michelin Bib Gourmand award so I knew I had to check it out. I'm glad they called out this restaurant because I likely wouldn't have visited otherwise. As the name suggests, the menu features chicken in several forms, mostly fried. You can get chicken wings, chicken tenders, fried chicken on the bone, chicken sandwiches. In the non-fried category there's chicken ramen and fried rice. They also have a couple of salads on the menu. I do wish Chick Chick offered a side salad at a reasonable price. I could have used a break from the fried chicken and didn't want to pay another $18-$20 for a salad. Just a small portion would have been perfect. The service was prompt and the staff was attentive. Ordered: Chicken tenders ($11)- three large chicken tenders comes in the order. A sauce of your choice comes on the side. We opted for the soy garlic which was tasty. The chicken tenders are made with white meat chicken and the crust was crunchy but not too thick. I'd order these again. Chickwich ($14)- this sandwich was made with dark meat chicken- a crispy chicken thigh was placed on a mildly sweet bun with lettuce, pickles and cheese. There was a sauce that was a little sweet and tangy. As other reviewers mentioned, it was messy. It was enjoyable! We were excited for dessert, there was a green tea cheesecake on the menu. But the staff told us they don't serve it anymore so that was a bummer. If you find yourself in the area I'd suggest you check out Chick Chick. read more
