Soy garlic chicken is fire. Would definitely be a lot better if it came with some pickled daikon radish to cut back on some of the savoriness read more

My husband and I stopped in on our way to an event in the area based on reviews. It's a very small place with no indoor seating. However the service was friendly and quick and the chicken bao and mayo chicken bowl were very good. If we are ever back in the area, I would try more items from their menu. read more

Chicken is delicious and juicy, made hot and fresh to order. The soy garlic chicken is amazing. No space for dine-in, but perfect for lunch or dinner pick up. Service is great, food is ready pretty quickly and the staff is very polite and friendly. read more

Chickenple is an excellent place for lunch takeout! Yelpers didn't let me down when I was looking for a tasty lunch spot in the area. Those chicken buns were perfect: the chicken was juicy and tender and had a nice crisp while the bun was soft and fresh. The sauce on top was a nice mix of sweet and spicy. The chicken pops meal was a good price for the amount of food you get: an ample amount of chicken, rice, and a salad with a tasty dressing. I loved everything, but the chicken was definitely a highlight. Since it was cooked to order, it was fresh, hot, and crispy. I love how it wasn't greasy either! I'll definitely be back when I'm in that area. read more

Chickenple in North Arlington, NJ, earns a solid 4-star review. Their specialty, the Korean fried chicken wings, deserves special mention for being extra crispy and flavorful. The fries were just average French fries, lacked salt. My preferred flavor is the salt and pepper wings, followed by the tasty soy garlic, though the sweet & spicy was a tad too sweet for my liking. The chicken buns were also a highlight, featuring a delicious sauce that enhanced the overall experience. While there's room for improvement on the sweet & spicy wings, Chickenple remains a commendable choice for those craving top-notch Korean fried chicken in North Arlington. I got it DoorDash so I can't say anything about their service and atmosphere read more

I have to go with a solid 3 stars on this place. Even a 3.4 stars. It's not drop dead phenomenal and it's not horrible. This place is literally floating around in the safe part of the pool. Definitely good enough for a local establishment but I wouldn't tell my buddy who lives 40 minutes away he needs to come here. You see where this is going I think. We got the XL order of wings (20 wings) for a family of four, I got the shrimp bun (which came with 2) and a side of fries for our youngest, of course. Let's start with the shrimp bun. It was a shrimp tempura on the equivalent of a Chinese bao, piece of lettuce and some type of sauce. I ate one of them and was honestly uninterested in the second one. The shrimp was ok. Nothing special. I'm not a big tempura person but not against it. The bao was a little too sweet for me and the sauce just wasn't for me. I can't put my finger on what kind of sauce it was. As for the wings, we got half sweet and spicy and half soy garlic. Wings had a nice crunch to them. The downfall was the fact that there was just too much sauce on it. I personally think it was unnecessary and would've been better and tastier with less. The sweet and spicy was a great combination. Somehow just as the heat kicked in after a bite, it was immediately countered with a sweet sensation. It offset each other perfectly and was very tasty. Again, I wish they didn't put so much on it. The soy garlic was very good. My wife actually enjoyed this one more than the sweet and spicy. Flavor was very good but would've been better if there wasn't so much sauce. I'm pretty sure you're getting the gist that they could've held back on the sauce. There was a salt and pepper rub as well that we didn't try. Wings were crunchy but would've had a 20 time crisper exterior if it wasn't smothered with sauce. Service was excellent. Man at the counter was very polite and food was ready at the promised time. Major points for that. Lighten up on that sauce and this place easily moves up to a 4.2... In my opinion anyway.. read more

Solid and reliable option to get some kickass wings and baos. We have been here now a couple of times since our first visit and I must say, food is really good and consistent. Bae loved her baos, and those wings are really good. Definitely a place not to be missed when in the area. read more

No in dining (looks like pre covid it was available). It was fine, not the best I've had. No pickled radishes like traditional Korean fried chicken! The pork buns were tough and super bbq saucy read more

We had the garlic wings which were tasty, the sweet and spicy wings which were not as good in my opinion. The chicken bun was delicious and the sauces well balanced in flavors but the beef buns were too sweet for my liking. Over all pretty decent spot if you like breaded fried wings. I prefer mine without the breading but it's always good to try something new. read more

Excellent wings! Ordered a 20 pc. salt and pepper flavored, and was not disappointed! Crispy on the outside and tender inside. Flavor was not overpowering at all. Will definitely order again! read more

Ordered delivery - chicken and steam buns are delicious! Definitely ordering again in the future

Delicious and fresh food every time. We have been there so many times and they are so consistent with both their service and food. Highly recommend! read more

What took me so long to try this place?? Buns buns bunsssss. Go for the chicken! I got two orders of those and probably should've gotten three. I hate sharing. I can't wait to try the shrimp, I'm sure that's delicious too. They're not soggy, the sauce is justttt right too. I also got the chicken tender plate. That's boneless Korean style tenders with rice and salad. I would stay away from the sesame dressing, it wasn't my favorite. I can't even be mad at it though because everything else was so good. The sweet chili sauce is delicious too. Lastly I got some good old fries. They're really good, everything in the bag just filled my car with an aroma that can't be described while I was driving home. Just go and do yourself a favor. They also have a sign explaining how long it takes to prepare each item. So be patient guys, it's worth it. They're making it fresh! If you're eating in, they actually have a big space. A few tables in the back and a huge tv. The worker wasn't the friendliest but hey I walked in at 8:30 so I wouldn't be that friendly either to be fair. I would definitely recommend this place. Having great food this close by is dangerous. read more

Locally there are a few chain KFC places in the area, but the name seems to suggest it's different... "chicken-plee"? "chicken-pleh"? "chicken-ple" that rhymes with "apple" (somehow???) hahaa So, I had to try their KFC! Street metered parking but abundant parking in the garage across the street. Plenty of seating inside. As with all KFC, took about 10-15mins to fry up. I ordered a small soy garlic wing 5pcz with a cole slaw side. Wings weren't skimpy, howeverssss... they were battered well & appears its got that Popeye flaky crunch. Sadly though, the gooey sauce which appeared like orange duck sauce was drizzled onto them and made the wings soggy. And the cole slaw had a tang that was off, had flavor but had an end taste that tasted slightly metallic. Honestly, I've tasted better KFC. But this could be the place if you don't got any other options! read more

Ordered through Uber eats and delivery was quick. I ordered the sweet and spicy wings and the chicken spicy mix bowl. The wings were sticky and delicious! The skin was cooked perfectly, although it was drenched in sauce they were very crispy without being soggy. As for the chicken spicy mix bowl, I wish there was an option to specify how much sauce you want on it. My wall had way too much sauce for me which made it A bit over powering to eat. Overall I would order from this place again. I see why there are so many good reviews. read more

Convenient if you want a Korean Fried Chicken joint. They seemed tk never really disappoint the few times I went there. People are friendly, food was hot. I usually get the soy garlic sauce on my chicken. I've also gotten the spicy chicken bowl before and that had a lot of sauce on it. It was also very filling. I happened to have seaweed snacks at home, so I ate it with the rice and it was the bomb dot com. I do recommend if you're in the area. read more

the best korean fried chicken wings! I like the size of the flats and drums. they are a little but smaller than the regular chicken wings you would get from restaurant chains, but it is so tender and flavorful. I did wish it came with some pickled radish or some sort of side. Their plates/bowls are also good -- the bulgogi and Dak Galbi are my favorite. I have also tried the beef mayo bowl, also good. The shrimp and chicken buns are my mom's favorite. The buns are soft and the sauce that goes on the shrimp/chicken is sweet yet savory. No issues with service. The lady that's there when I pick up my order, always welcomes you with a smile. read more

I got the Dak Galbi since I was craving sweet potato fries. They serve it with the chicken on top. They also have a side of white rice and salad. The chicken was cooked well and marinated nicely. I wish the portion size was a little bigger since I was still hungry for more. I think it was priced a little high for the portion size as well. I will try the wings next time but be aware they make everything fresh so there is a slight wait. read more

This place is just ok relative to what is offered in other areas, but it is a decent option if you're feeling Asian cuisine. A twenty minute wait proceeds all orders, as I would believe none of their food is pre-made. The lunch combo offers more than enough to fill you up, and if it doesn't, there are plenty of small bites to add to your order. The buns were filled with flavor, but the chicken wings did not follow the expectation. If I had to go back, I would order more buns and ditch the wings (soy garlic atleast). The wings had more of a ginger taste than a garlic one, and it was a bit overwhelming to finish. Skip the wings, or get a different flavor, or just get the buns. read more

Ordered takeout. Food was delivered on time and nothing was missing. We got the salt and pepper wings, fries, chicken buns, and beef buns. Everything was delicious. Wings were slightly battered or coated and extra crispy just the way I like it. Fries were crinkle cut and packaged well so I didn't have many soggy ones. Buns were heavenly. The chicken one had a sweet and spicyish sauce while the beef one had a sweeter sauce. I cannot wait to order from here again. read more

This is probably a do-able Korean joint in my area. If you're craving it without expecting a lot.. then get food here. We got shrimp&chicken buns, Korean friend chicken and chicken cutlet. Let's start off with chicken cutlet because that's what threw me off. Don't ever put a salad in the same container as hot food. It will become soggy and soupy like. Shrimp&chicken buns.. well It could've been better. The buns were soft but the could've at least added coleslaw not a piece of lettuce. The chicken itself.. well. It was soggy by the time I got it and it lacked flavor. I thought Korean fried chicken was supposed to keep its crunchiness? Maybe it's because the container they decided to put it on.. but still ‍ read more

So my review is based mostly on the food because my husband picked it up, so I never got the chance to visit the store or interact with them. So, the shrimp Buns were eh. One order came with 2...so perfect to share but it was literally a shrimp tempura in a bun with lettuce, red onions and their spicy mayo sauce. I didn't find anything special about it. I think they need to add more umph in the sauce because it wasn't spicy at all. It wasn't bad....it just didn't wow me. As for the salt and vinegar wings....well they were good....but I'm not raving over it. I did love how it wasn't greasy, it was crispy and the seasoning was good. If you like breaded chicken, they had a good balance on the breading. Eat it with their white rice.....can't go wrong with chicken and rice. My kids had the boneless chicken wings and I DID NOT LIKE THEM and they didn't either. They were VERY dry. I wouldn't order these again and pick up from Bon Chon....it was nothing close to them. The fries were nothing special either. I know the place is fairly new but I'm not sure if I'd come back. read more

Delicious crispy chicken with tantalizing sauces, that just hit the spot. Haven't had any of their bowls yet but they use quality ingredients in their dishes. When your in town it's def a stop you need to make. read more

So they have gone. I'm quite broken up about it, to see the place is closed permanently. I truly enjoyed all they had to offer. Now, Carlito's in Lyndhurst is sketchy as well. However, there are other fine restaurants around, but Chickenple was my favorite. Nobody made fried chicken like them. Nobody. read more

They are open again. I ordered for my son (he never had them before) and he said the food was excellent and he would be going back. I'm in SJ and wish they had a sister store in the area. They do have a new number 201-991-1295. I ordered for my son through Grubhub and they delivered. Enjoy! read more

I just visited my favorite Korean fried chicken restaurant again, and as expected, everything was excellent. Their super crispy Korean style fried chicken wings in their incredible sweet and spicy sauce are so good that I regularly drive 30 minutes just to eat that one item. Tonight I got a taste of something new. Yes, I had the wings, but the owner also offered me a sample of a new item he's planning to add to the menu - a batter dipped, fried, hard boiled egg in a steamed bun, w/cabbage, spicy mayo and okonomi sauce. As with the other steamed buns on the menu they will come two to and order. I don't know what the price will be, but I imagine it will be in same range as the shrimp, chicken and beef buns that are currently on the menu for $5.95, and I really hope this does make it onto the regular menu, because it was delicious. My first thought was, "Why would I want a fried hard boiled egg bun, when I could have a freshly made shrimp tempura bun for the same price?"... then I tasted it. The egg inside the batter was perfect. I wish I could make a hard boiled egg that tasted like this. It was boiled just to the point where it wasn't quite fully cooked, and the heat from the deep fryer does the rest. The result is a smooth and creamy center with an outside that's just firm enough. The batter gives it a wonderful crunchy shell that stands up to the spicy mayo and okonomi sauce. Fresh cabbage and a fluffy steamed bun round out the affair. As you can see from the picture it is a bit messy, so wash your hands first, because you will be licking your fingers; trust me on this. If you get to Chickenple before this item appears on the menu, be sure to ask for it. read more

I would definitely suggest ordering a head as food is made to order. The flavors and portions are plentiful. I will definitely be back. It's s small place so I can imagine nights and weekends it gets packed. Not sure if it's a BYOB but next time I go I will make sure to check. There is street parking in front of the restaurant and a parking lot across the street. I had the soy garlic chicken wings and shrimp buns. Soooo good! They're also on Grubhub for delivery as well. read more

I decided to order from Chickenple on a lazy day in with some friends and wow, I was impressed! We ordered chicken buns, beef buns, a bulgogi plate, sweet and spicy wings, and beef spicy mix bowl. Overall, I really enjoyed the food. The bulgogi, beef buns, and beef spicy mix bowl were absolutely delicious. The wings were saucy and seasoned perfectly. My only complaint would have to be that the chicken buns had a bit too much sauce and not enough lettuce/red onion, so it literally felt like you were just eating chicken and sauce. Overall, a good experience! read more

Wings were amazing. I got the sweet and spicy ones and it came out perfect and super crunchy. I also got the shrimp buns and they were so good as well. I would definitely come back here for the wings and buns. I also had the spicy beef bowl which I thought was okay. It might've been because I got the spicy wings and so the flavors were kind of the same. The place was clean and the food came out fast. Looking forward to trying more things from the menu in the future. read more

One more reason for a born and bred Brooklynite to trek it to New Jersey. I placed an order on the phone with a patient gentleman, since they closed at 9:00PM and it was 8:15PM. I ordered a combo of 5 drumsticks and 10 wings for $15.95, which is honestly a great deal compared to prices in New York City. I also got an order of sweet potato fries (!!) for $2.50, which came with a yummy sweet sauce. You have a choice of 3 sauces: soy garlic, sweet and spicy, and salt and pepper. I opted for the soy garlic, and my friend just barely made it to pick up the order at 9:00PM. I didn't even get the take a picture because I was so hungry that we just dug in which honestly NEVER HAPPENS. It just smelled so good, and they were amazingggggg. The drumsticks are HUGE. I don't think I could've finished an order of these by myself. The fried chicken is still crispy even though it's doused in a ton of yummy sauce. The sweet potato fries hit the spot as well. 10/10 would recommend/come back! read more

I've only eaten here once. Decent spot if you're craving Korean style wings especially in this area. Price range is very doable, it's as if they have lunch special prices all day. Food is made fresh so make sure to call ahead if you're on lunch or in a hurry. They have a sign letting the customers know approximately how long it takes to cook specific orders. We ordered pops plate (soy garlic boneless chicken, white rice, and a side salad) and beef spicy mayo mix bowl for less than $20. read more
