Really enjoyed this place…read more Service was amazing. It was one young lady pretty much doing it all at the front during lunch. She greeted, took orders brought food and provided the check for all diners at the location. I was impressed with the quick service. Ambiance was a dark but comfy. It was hot out but it was comfortable cool inside with low lights though plenty of light shining in through the window. Food was amazing. That might have been the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The sauce was crazy good! Loved they had vegan options for my partner. Would come again in a heartbeat.

I've already been to their newer location in Roslyn so it was nice to try this one in LIC. The staff was very friendly and I was seated promptly (made a reservation ahead of time just in case, and lucky I did. It was literally the only table available)! Yuzu lemonade was very refreshing and I almost didn't finish it since I was stuffing my face! Loved the broth in the cold noodles and it was just simple but comforting. On a hot and humid day, it was perfect! The garlic fried chicken was tender and juicy, did not disappoint. We asked for gloves and they happily brought it over. And last but not least, the grilled beef Galbi was excellent. Great texture and well marinated. I enjoyed it very much. The place was packed and I could see why. Short walk from the local train station so totally easy to get there. The menu had a lot of drink options both alcohol and non. It's a great spot for a casual night out!

Birdbox isn't your typical restaurant--definitely giving ghost kitchen vibes, but don't let that…read morestop you. The food delivers big time. I had the Claude sandwich with the chicken claw, and it was amazing. The claw doesn't have much meat, but it's super Instagrammable and a fun touch. The sandwiches themselves are fat, juicy, and insanely crispy--exactly what you want from fried chicken. Only downside? The sauces are $1 extra, and the portion is pretty small, which felt a bit steep. But if you do get one, make it the Money Sauce--a sweet honey drizzle that seriously elevates the sandwich. Would I order again? Absolutely. Just be ready to eat with napkins nearby--this is messy, indulgent goodness.

I've been wanting to check out Birdbox for a while for the claw attached to your chicken sando. If…read moreyou're coming here, you've probably seen it and here for that too. I was surprised to find that it's a ghost kitchen. You walk behind the coffee shop and order from a kiosk with many other restaurants to order from as well. My order took 15 minutes and within the estimated time frame that they gave you. Once my order was ready, I clicked to open via text and the locker popped open with my bag --viola! I ordered the Claude the Claw ($18.99) with medium spicy sauce on the side. The sandwich is pretty huge. I like how they wrapped the sandwich around the claw sticking out from the bottom. I did take it out of the wrapper for the picture, but suggest you keep the wrapper on as it gets messy to eat. The spices and flavor is delicious and the chicken is crispy and tender. It's a great Nashville hot chicken sandwich overall. While the claw is insta-worthy, it's not quite worth the extra $4 (plus you can't really even eat it, so it's all for show). I'd suggest getting the claw for your first time, but I'd get the regular sandwich in the future for the lower price.

I got my food within minutes. You have the option to place your order at the register or kiosk. Finding a seat took a moment but there really was plenty of seating.

"Matter of fact, I'll take four chicken fingers!"…read more You can't visit NYC without hitting up the massive, neon-lit Raising Cane's flagship location in Times Square. This location has cute Raising Cane's merchandise. The energy inside is wild, but the real question was: does the food actually live up to the massive hype? I came straight here chasing that legendary crispy, saucy bite--and it did not disappoint. The chicken fingers were piping hot, incredibly tender, and practically standard-issue vessels for that iconic Cane's Sauce. The classic crinkle-cut fries were solid, but the real sleeper hit is always that buttery, pillowy Texas toast. When you assemble the ultimate bite--chicken, sauce, toast, and a fry-- it's devine. It's fast, it's chaotic, and it's a total Times Square experience. If you're looking for a quick, comforting, and undeniably crispy late-night bite in the city, this flagship location delivers exactly what you're craving. The staff is top notch and the DJ kept the energy going!

I don't know if it was just me, this location or the food in general but I was not happy with the food at all. I got the $20 deal special which comes with 10 pieces of chicken (drums and wings) along with 2 sides, which I choose the Seasoned Fries and Korean Street Corn. The chicken was good, it was fried perfectly and crunchy but once you bite into it and the outer layer is gone it tasted like it had no seasoning on it. All the flavor was on the batter and seems like the chicken wasn't marinated at all. As for the sides, I was not a fan of the street corn since it just tasted like plain corn with cheese in it and the fries were ok. Usually korean fried chicken is good no matter where you get it from but I don't know about this francaise. I might try it again to see if it's the same but that's probably going to be a while. Besides the food, the cashier was very friendly and answered my questions and the place was clean as well.

But also get ready for some dry ass chicken. There's a reason why I only cook chicken thighs at home instead of breast. One is moist and juicy, the other is not. Fluffies was not able to make their chicken breast any less dry than I could. I had to drench each bite with sauce to mask the dryness. Remind me to only buy chicken sandwiches that use thighs only in the future. The crunch on the fry was a little hard, the sauce did work, but overall I felt like I ate saucy and fry rather than a chicken sandwich. The fries are aight. Very well seasoned -- that was the best part. But I felt like I was eating a toss up with each fry. Some had the perfect crisp on the outside, others felt stale? Like rhymes with the feeling of cold McDonald's fries, obvious not as bad as that but hints of that texture every few fries. It's like I got a fresh batch of fries mixed with an old batch of fries. The good fries were gooood. The bad fries were ugh. Maybe it's cause I went at 11pm but there was still a stready stream of customers. Coleslaw -- nothing special. Got it cause you gotta eat your vegetables for $2. This would be the first time that my slaw is so one-dimension in color though. Sandwich so underwhelming. Dat fry seasoning tho. Maybe I shoulda gotten the Mac/fries.

This KFC, or rather Korean Fried Chicken place, opened up back in April on 1st Avenue, with a new…read moreone having very recently opened on 2nd Ave and 73rd. I went here a while back to order lunch for takeout, and it was pretty good. After they opened, they added some specials ranging from $15 to $17, combining chicken with fries or dumplings, and I went with the sweet and spicy boneless chicken with standard fries, as you can also update the fries to the "spicy snow" version for an extra $1. The cashier was friendly. The sweet and spicy chicken is their version of Yangnyeom/양념치킨, and the combo came with a few moderately sized pieces. The breading was crispy, and the chicken inside was pretty tender. There was some sweetness, and it had a mild kick, though it wasn't as spicy as I prefer. The fries inside were OK. They had a good crisp to them and a good crunch, but needed a tad more salt. The fry portion was also much larger, so next time, I would just stick with the chicken. The free kimchi was standard and decent. This was a perfectly decent Korean chicken spot. If it were any closer to a Korean neighborhood, I doubt it would be doing well, but there is a distinct lack of Korean places nearby outside of the primarily takeout spot, which doesn't specialize at all in chicken. It fills a niche, and I would likely at some point stop in again to try their Korean chicken sandwich or their plain chicken to try more of their sauces.

I ordered the Sichuan Extra Hot Chicken, which came with two chicken quarters (a whole leg and…read morethigh). The chicken was fried perfectly; it crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful inside. The portions are generous, and although I paid almost $30 for dinner with rice, I still had enough left over for another meal. It's definitely pricier than many of the more affordable spots around Chinatown, but they're serving a more niche menu rather than the usual dumplings, noodles, or Chinese BBQ, so I think the price is justified. They also accept cards, which is convenient compared with some other spots in the neighborhood that are cash-only. The main reason I'm giving it 4 stars is the service. There was some miscommunication with the staff, my drinks were brought to another table, and they almost did the same with my food before I signaled that it was mine. The tables also weren't the cleanest and could've used a quick wipe-down between guests. That said, the restaurant is very small, probably only 10-12 seats, so space is definitely limited. Despite the service issues, I really enjoyed the food and would come back. If you're looking for something different from the typical Chinatown offerings, Peking House is definitely worth trying!
