This is a nice burger joint in the heart of Chinatown. I loved how they have a grilled pineapple chicken burger, which is unheard of and unlikely on menus in restaurants. I was about to get that burger but I decided to go with a crispy chicken burger. The crispy chicken won my heart for the size of the chicken it came in. The sandwich was really big and worth my money. It tasted really crispy as the menu said. I also got fries along with a coke. The fries were thin sticks that came with a seasoning powder. The seasoning was mildly spicy and added a kick to the fries. Pretty tasty with it. The place itself was very nice and fancy with a nice stone wall decor in the back of the restaurant. The lighting was very nice and made the place very elegant. The place however was very quiet and there was no one there when I went there during lunch time. It did not really look like a fast food place with the nice seats and tables. It looked very high end for a fast chicken and burger place. The guy who helped me out with my order was very nice and assistive. He made sure that my order was correct and the way I want it. He asked me the type of seasoning I want for my burger and fries, which got me to like the place more since he really cared about my order. I'll definitely be sure to come back next time for their other burgers like the Peking duck burger, which I'm dying to try. read more

Order a standard Chicken Burger. Cripsy and juicy. The bun not your standard potato bun. More pita style? I would go back to try the other items there. They got something going for them. The guy at the counter did his job well. Ordered my item, made sure the item was what I wanted. Now the place is a little different from what I'm used to. What you would describe as u shaped serving area? I haven't ate in, but I can imagine the arrangement. read more

I wanted to like my first experience. It was recommended by someone who works nearby, who raved about it. Customer service was great, space looks really nice - different from your typical seating. The person behind the cash register explained the menu to me, which was very helpful. After deciding between the grilled pineapple chicken or the rattan pepper crispy chicken, I went with the rattan pepper, mainly because the purple cabbage made it look so appetizing. Got an additional popcorn chicken, instead of a combo that came with two wings. I ordered to go so I totally understand that the temperature will naturally be lowered by the time I got home. The biggest disappointment was the sad looking purple cabbage I got. What happened there? It's like you meant to put it on and then changed your mind or did you run out??? The photo on the menu for this particular sandwich was a decent sized amount. Anyhow, the chicken was decent but not over the top amazing, this extended to the popcorn chicken as well. I think I would've preferred nuggets but I will give it another attempt next time. Hoping this is just a one off sad ingredient experience. Next time I'll dine in and hopefully have a meal as advertised. read more

Cuci is a new outpost of a Chinese fried chicken sandwich mini-chain and it is SO GOOD! It's not expensive, about $7 for a sandwich and the quality is notably a tier above Popeye's or Chik-Fil-A The buns are freshly baked and are pillowy and delicious just in themselves, but the quality of the chicken sets them apart. The fried chicken comes in regular, spicy, or rattan pepper flavors and is pretty close to what you'd expect from a chicken sandwich, just with a bit of extra punch from Chinese spices. I think their signature item that really sets them apart is the pineapple grilled chicken sandwich. It's a healthier option that you wouldn't find at most fast food or fast casual spots, and it's honestly as good or better as the fried chicken. Super tender, juicy, and flavorful. The interior of the restaurant is also really nice, clean, and calm, more like a trendy sit-down restaurant than a fast food joint. read more

I've had the crispy chicken sandwich from the Brooklyn location several times before and it's always very good. I decided to get the crispy fish sandwich this time at this chinatown location and it was also good, but the chicken sandwich will always be my favorite. Price is great as well. Only thing is, I ordered for pickup through an app during lunchtime and I came to pick it up during estimated pickup time. But they were so busy, I ended up waiting an extra 20min for my one sandwich which was a waste of my lunch break. So be warned... order pickup way ahead of time just in case! But then you risk potentially having cold food if they're actually not as busy! read more

Going to be one of my go to places in Chinatown now. Everything tasted great and the hot tea was actually drinkable without being scolding hot. Chicken was great along with the Fry's crispy. Price for the combo includes everything so $13 for sandwich Fry's (or wings) and a drink. Seating might be a little hard depending on the time but cool design inside. Service was good and quick. read more

I hate posting negative reviews. My experience at Cuci Burger was anything but good, so I must. I ordered a Chicken combo and grabbed a stool. I waited fifteen minutes for what can only described as Burger King quality. The Chicken was fried in old oil as were the Fries. The end result was a minor stomach ache. To add to my aggravation the biz charged an additional 3% for a credit card. Next! read more

This relatively new place is a much welcome addition to the myriad of options Chinatown has to offer. They've got some of the best tasting sandwiches I've eaten. Truly freshly-prepared and you can immediately see, feel and taste the difference. A variety of choices on sandwiches but a bit limited on the drinks side. But hey, I come here for their sandwiches and I've been a regular ever since. The owner Mimi and the staff are very nice, friendly and customer-oriented adding up to one of the best dine-in and/or takeout experiences I've had. I would not hesitate to recommend this place for anybody looking for a quick bite. You will enjoy a good eat at a reasonable price in a clean welcoming place. What's not to like? read more
