I see big chicken I get big chicken. I think Chunky Boss made the social media rounds a while back and I was finally in the area to give it a try. It's located inside a small combo store with Tiger Sugar. There are several digital kiosks to order from and about a 10 minute wait for a giant slab of chicken cutlet as it's made to order. Now onto the chicken itself. It was just as expected - huge! and piping HOT with a generous amount of their classic pepper powder sprinkled on one side. It was surprisingly juicy and tender at every bite. read more

Chunky Boss 129 E. 45th. St. New York, NY 10017 Fried Chicken Cutlet with Boss Fries Spicy Chicken Cutlet In the east section of NYC is a Taiwanese chicken joint that shares its lease with a bubble tea shop. The packaging and insignia is the icing on the cake (metaphorically speaking). The appearance of the box and the wax paper really caught my eye. It only gets better when you taste the chicken. It's hot, thick and juicy to the core! You will savor each and every bite. For a small charge, you can order dipping sauces such as sweet chili. The only minor downside is the side dish. When I originally ordered boss fries, I was expecting something unique and out of this world. But, it's basically another fancy term for French fries. It doesn't hurt to choose one of their delicious bubble teas to supplement your meal. If you are on the go and need a quick meal, grab one of these cutlets while you can. But, make sure you arrive between 11:30 AM to 4:30 PM because these cocks are only available during a 5-hour span every day. read more

Chunky Boss - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

This Chunky Boss is a small store that shares it's space with Tiger Sugar. Inside the store there are only few stools to sit and dine. The menu has the cutlets and popcorns, and combos for those come with fries. Some of the flavors I wanted to order were not available at that time. After ordering, it took them about 10-15 minutes cook the chicken. I was so surprised how huge the piece of cutlet was, almost had never seen a piece chicken that large. The chicken had such a pleasant flavor. It was moist and soft inside. Fries tasted average. read more

I can only speak to the chicken because that's the only thing I ordered, but man it's really tasty. I'm impressed with how they're able fry such huge cutlets and still keep them incredibly juicy. If you're a fan of Taiwanese fried chicken, you'll like food here. Recommend: Crispy Chicken Cutlet with Classic Pepper flavor read more

Chunky Boss - Chicken cutlet with classic pepper flavor - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

I've tried the cutlet here twice. The first time I ordered the sweet chili & it was nothing special. The 2nd time which was today, I ordered the spicy cutlet. There was no spice in that cutlet whatsoever. You can't advertise someting as spicy and don't have type of spice on it. Yes, the cutlets are big but there is nothing special about the flavor. The chicken itself is clearly not seasoned because when the coating comes off, the chicken is very bland. The fries were decent but not enough to make me visit again. read more

My first time in the city and based off recs online we decided to give this place a try. I ordered the chicken cutlet combo and really enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly- the flavor was great and the crisp was spot on. I also really enjoyed the fries- they were sweet and salty which was def unique but a hit. The boba was good, nothing spectacular. The restaurant is very small with only a few barstools against the wall and got quite crowded while we were waiting for food. read more

Chunky Boss - Chicken cutlet with fries - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

Fun name and fun decor: I utilized the place for the pastries to eat as I walked around: advertised as authentic Taiwanese treats, they were warm and eggy and injected with chocolate cream freshly for me. I love the Tiger in the window. I didn't even realize they had chicken until I saw this review: I was just seeing the bakery in front of me; come to think of it, that explains the giant chicken nugget sculpture on the wall (I thought it was a pastry?). Nice service read more

Note: It's only open for a few hours 11:30-2:30 every day. My friend mentioned this place by Grand Central and it has a whole chicken cutlet. For $16 you get a combo which includes drink (select from the ones with stickers on the menu), chicken cutlet (sandwiches sell out early), and fries. The chicken cutlet with plum powder is larger than my hand. It's sufficient for a meal and truthfully I didn't need the fries with the chicken cutlet and drink. I decided to pick the signature black sugar boba and pearl milk with cream mousse since I didn't have time to examine all the drinks. This is one of the popular drinks and it's one of Tiger Sugar's known drinks. Second time I didn't want black sugar boba and picked lychee black tea with bursting boba. I will try a different powder maybe pepper next time. Give it a try if you are in the neighborhood. read more

I had to check this place out as my colleague told me that this is a new up and coming spot to check out. Apparently, it's all over social media, too. The place is right near where we work, so I had to go during lunchtime to get the fried chicken cutlets. It's located inside the iconic tiger sugar place. The sign isn't that large for chunky boss, but when you see the sign for tiger sugar, you can't miss it. I was a bit confused as to where you go to order as there was no one to direct you nor a sign. But there's only one way to order the chicken it's with the register inside. The tablet outside is only for tiger sugar. It's quite busy inside. Everyone is either waiting for their food or on the line to order. The menu is simple to understand. You can either order individually or in a combo. The chicken sandwich combos, from what I understand, get sold out fairly quickly, so if you want that, go when they open. The drink that comes with the combos are the tiger sugar ones. The chicken cutlets itself are huge, and the fried batter isn't too thick. I got the spicy one, and it was just tangy. I wasn't asked about the powder, so I forgot to get one with my order. They do give out ketchup packets, too, if you ask for those. Shared the fries with my coworker, and it comes with cheese sauce. All in all, I would go back to try another chicken cutlet flavor. read more

Chunky Boss sweet chili chicken cutlet is freaking amazing. The cutlet is huge, bigger than my hand and feels heavy. The sweet chili flavor is delicious and saucy, and the breading is very crispy. I went here two days in a row, first time after a 5k with friends and second day after work. The inside is pretty small and only two seats which is ok. Most people pick up and leave. I think the place needs to upgrade their air conditioning though, it was a hot day and felt hot inside. read more

Chunky Boss - Sweet Chili Chicken Cutlet - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

If you're in the mood for massive, juicy chicken cutlets, Chunky Boss is the spot! I ordered the classic pepper powder cutlet on my first visit. The chicken itself? Perfectly cooked, super juicy, and packed with protein--a definite win in my book. However, the classic pepper flavor wasn't really my vibe after a few bites. It's not bad, just not the right choice for my taste buds. That said, I'm definitely coming back to try a different flavor--I have a feeling my banger is still waiting for me on the menu. See you soon, Chunky Boss! read more

Chunky Boss - Classic Pepper Powder Cutlet - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

Just casually eating a big piece of fried chicken cutlet down the street is literally my vibe lol! I love the concept of being able to conveniently eat a piece of protein without getting your hands dirty or using any utensils! Crispy chicken cutlet - 8/10 It is literally a chicken nugget but enlarged. It is very juicy and was made to order. Nice thin crispy crust and it was so easy to eat. I got it with the classic pepper powder which was not spicy it was more simply like black or white pepper to give it some flavor. Spicy chicken cutlet - 7/10 I don't like the spicy chicken cutlet that much because the spiciness comes from a sauce on top of the chicken and it makes the paper all wet and not convenient to hold and eat. The spiciness was also classic pepper powder flavor but it was kind of sweet and hot. Not very spicy at all. Golden Chicken Fingers - 8/10 Classic chicken fingers. Its the cutlet but finger form. Same crust and same flavor. Also, service was excellent! They guided us through the menu and advised us on how to order. They also have a window where you can self order if you feel antisocial. The chicken did take a while to get. It took about 10-15 minutes for the chicken to get fried. It is very small in there and there are only high chairs so it is not convenient to eat there unless you are by yourself. Kind of cramped. Overall, I enjoyed this place! I love the concept of the chicken and they were very fresh and juicy. I was so full I could barely finish 1 chicken cutlet. Definitely worth it! read more

I was delighted this afternoon to finally see Chunky Boss appear as an option on Ubereats. I took advantage of their availability and finally tried their chicken, french fries, and boba tea combo. $20 for the meal seemed a bit steep, but when I opened the box after it arrived, I understood why. They give you a giant slab of chicken, probably enough for 2 people. But once you take a bite of that juicy, peppery cutlet, you won't want to share with anyone else. The seasoning of the classic pepper cutlet was zesty and slightly sweet. It complemented the tender and crunchy chicken well. The fries also had a sweeter taste to them, probably due to the seasoning rubbing off on them. The fries were good, but the chicken was GREAT. I would definitely have it again. The other amazing perk that comes with your meal is getting to select a medium drink from Tiger Sugar! It's been too long since my last brown sugar boba from them, so I opted for one to have as a nice dessert after my savory meal. My only regret is that I didn't try Chunky Boss sooner! read more

Came here for the infamous fried chicken patty. We got the spicy version. It came with sauce to make it "spicy". I thought it was going to be in the seasoning but that's my bad. It took 10 min for the chicken to come out. It was piping hot. You could see the steam. Glad i tried this spot out. $9 for the chicken solo. read more

The Chunky Boss location (shared/combined with the Tiger Sugar boba shop) is quite small. There are a few high stools at the counter for seating, but it can get crowded quickly. The chicken took a bit longer to prep than I expected, but it was worth it because the chicken cutlet my boyfriend and I ordered was piping hot and fresh, and tasted so so good. Although the exterior is fried and crispy, the inside is juicy and tender chicken. Tasted great, although be sure to have a drink with you because it definitely makes you thirsty. read more

The food (chicken) was so good, but the decor and inside can be improved. We came in the late morning and there was already a small line of people waiting for their orders. There's not a lot of room inside as it is also share with boba options. There isn't a lot of seating inside at all. We got the classic pepper powder and it was sooo good. I will definitely be back for more! read more

Came for the chicken cutlet. It was huge and crispy. Had a spicy flavour one. Best to eat while hot. Chicken was soft and easy to chew. Convenient to eat on the go. Fries were good. Order a combo can have a brown sugar milk. More like a whole meal. Goes well with the milk tea. Have to be careful while hot. Service was good, for telling me about having a drink. The store has a huge design of a chicken cutlet, which is artistic. read more

Giant chicken cutlets are one of my favorite items at night markets in Taiwan. So I was very excited to give this place a try. I'm happy to report that the chicken cutlets here are very good. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's as good as the ones I've had in Taiwan, but it's pretty darn good. This place shares a location with Tiger Sugar. So you can get a lunch combo that includes chicken cutlet and a boba. Service is a bit slow, as the chicken is made to order. So get there early. read more

Unfortunately by the time I got there they were pretty much out of everything except for the crispy chicken cutlet which is the main reason for going. The cutlet itself was fried perfectly, nice and juicy. The only issue I had was the seasoning was just a bit too sweet - this is the original flavor. read more

Nostalgic chicken cutlet, it was a popular snack originated from Taiwan, I had this when I was a teenager. I ordered the original flavor, glad the set menu also included the Tiger boba tea . The cutlet was tasty but the sweet potato fries were sad. The place was very small with a few countertop seats. The staff was friendly but unfortunately the wait time was super long. This is absolutely not worth the wait of 25 mins. read more

I went to find out what the hype was with this place after seeing so many posts on social media. After getting my order I can tell you it's worth the hype.

The chicken cutlet is very succulent and delicious in my opinion. It's a very huge piece of meat, I recommend getting the sweet chili sauce to compliment. read more

I wish I could give this place a 3.5 but I'll settle on a 3. Like many of you, I heard about this place on social media, so shout out to viral marketing. What I actually got was disappointing. The main draw is supposed to be the chicken cutlet. It looks nothing like I saw online. The best thing I can say about it is that it's very big. It wasn't too crispy or delicious, I had better and cheaper chicken elsewhere. The highlight of the meal was the fries and boba tea. The fries were crispy and slightly sweet and the boba tea was delicious. I'd give this place a 4 because the only problem I had was with the cutlet itself. Unfortunately since it's supposed to be the star, I'll leave the review at a 3. The only thing that was a miss was the cutlet, the fries, boba, and price were great. I wish it came with more fries. I'd come back for the boba tea but I think I'll pass on the chicken. read more

I was excited to see that a fried chicken cutlet place had opened in NYC, it's reminds me of the night markets I went to Taiwan as a kid. The place itself is pretty small and has a ledge with a few seats to eat at. It's shared with the tiger sugar boba place. I had the crispy chicken cutlet with the classic pepper seasoning. Food was fresh and service was quick. The cutlet was big, moist and crunchy, but could have used a tad more seasoning. Overall, a good substitute for a crispy chicken cutlet instead of flying to Asia! read more

This spot shares a space with the Tiger Sugar near Grand Central and serves up some yummy and tender chicken cutlets! I definitely prefer the spicy chicken cutlet which comes slathered in a sweet chili sauce that gives the cutlet a lot more flavor. The value here is pretty solid too - the cutlets are quite large, and if you get one of the combos you get the cutlet, fries and a medium Tiger Sugar drink for about $15! Whenever I've been, it's usually been pretty crowded inside the small store, and sometimes they sell out of cutlets before 2:30pm when they close. There is a counter with some seats so you could eat in, but space is a bit tight so would recommend taking it to-go. read more

The chicken cutlet came out piping hot (so hot it was hard to eat). It was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The spicy is just a sweet chili sauce, wish we got the original instead. The mango sago drink was so refreshing and delicious. Would definitely get again. read more

Since I am self proclaimed foodie I love searching on YouTube for the best food spots around the globe. One day I found a video on the Chunky Boss craze in New York and this was one of the reasons why our recent trip to NYC became a reality. Located a couple of blocks from Time Square you will find this hole in the wall with a very simple menu. We were lucky because on a typical day all items of the menu can sell out, so we ordered their famous fried chicken cutlets with regular and sweet potato fries. The staff were very friendly and gave us a free milk tea which was delicious and smooth. But the moment arrived for the fried chicken cutlets which were huge, and the taste was out of this world. This was the most tender, juicy and tastiest fried chicken I ever had. The exterior of the cutlets were crispy and each bite was bursting with flavor. The fries were also tasty and had a nice sweet and sour taste since they dusted it with a special Taiwanese plump powder. The price for the quality and quantity of our meal was a great deal. I am praying that Miami can get a Chunky Boss location one day. read more

Tbh, I've been wanting to try this place for like a month.. and I was a bit disappointed. The sweet chili fried chicken was not what the photos advertised and it was basically just the regular one with a little sauce drizzled on top of it. The chicken texture was good and the flavor was okay, but not amazing. The fries were decent but not anything special either. Service was fine and the interior was tiny. The drink was good though! Not sure if I'll get the chicken again. read more

The food, it's...fine. The drinks are great. The place is tiny, the service counter is 85% of the space. There's a narrow wall mounted counter with 4 bar height stools. Line may seem long but moves fast. Had the famous giant cutlet, fries and a lychee black tea. The chicken was HUGE, juicy with a slight crunch. I wish it was seasoned more. Besides the size, there was no wow factor. Even with the delicious mango and sweet chili sauce it was just ok. The regular fries were sweet which was not expected. The sweet lychee tea was absolute fire. There was a long line but it moved fast because most people were placing drink orders. Now the nice girls working there may have been in high school so I'm not expecting much but they def stopped calling numbers and leaving food on the counter to be discovered. We had to stop another couple because they took our food by mistake. In all not offended or impressed, it's a 3. read more
