    - Service was excellent: staff is extremely friendly and very helpful; fast and attentive - Cute, clean, cozy joint with decent amount of tables suited for small groups, but tables can be joined together for larger parties - High chairs and boosters are available, but be careful when pushing your toddler in while on a booster--table frame has a rather thick bar running across the bottom of the table top (had to switch her to a high chair instead as her thighs were getting squished) - Interior wall lined with different varieties of ramen noodle packets: it's a "self ramen bar"--didn't try it but assuming you take a packet and cook it yourself at the stations by the microwave - Food was fresh and HOT: chicken drumsticks were saucy, cripsy, juicy and piping hot--be careful with that first bite; pork katsu was also crispy and tender, but the pork itself wasn't flavorful, the sauce had a nice tang, which the kiddos really enjoyed

    Original wings
    Matt K.

    Ordered the original 10 wings with Sweet and Spicy sauce on the side. Idk why I never thought to do sauce on the side to preserve the crispiness lol The wings were crispy, yummy, and not greasy like some other places. The yangyum sauce was also good! I feel like it's hard to find good yangyum sauce, but Don Chicken did it right. The chicken came with pickled radish as well. just be careful that the lids are tightly shut so they don't leak when picking up.

    Korean fried chicken . First time here and I liked it . I wish they had a 6 or 8 piece lunch :) 11 piece was a little too much .. even with drumsticks they have 5 piece meals . Tried garlic soy chicken and it was good .... taste was awesome . I also got the spicy chicken .. and it was good . They charged 1.50 or 2$ for rice. Wish they include a rice bowl with this ... Parking is too small. They just have parking for 3-4 cars .. Overall we liked it . Good one ... 15$ lunch.

    Boneless chicken and soy garlic chicken

    Ordered via Uber eats. We decided on the boneless chicken and the soy garlic chicken. Both were very good so no complaints. The soy garlic flavor was on the lighter side so it's different than other Korean fried chicken soy garlic flavor but not bad. We will definitely order from here more often.

    The closest Korean Fried Chicken place near my house that is always delicious. If you live in Bergen County towards Route 17, there is no need to go all the way to Fort Lee/Palisades Park to satisfy your Korean fried chicken craving. The wings have a sweeter flavor compared to typical southern style chicken but if you get the spiciest option; make sure to have water ready. I recommend trying the snowing cheese french fries too while you are there.

    When it comes to Korean fried chicken, the competition is fierce in Bergen County. There's no shortage of options from Bonchon to Pelicana to Boom Boom. Don Chicken is the latest challenger and unfortunately, doesn't quite reach the level of the upper echelon establishments. I tried the soy garlic, snowing cheese, and sweet & spicy wings. I also got snowing cheese fries and onion rings on the side. The chicken wasn't bad, but didn't really stand out either. The flavors were familiar and the taste was fine, but didn't quite have the oomph to set it apart from other KFC joints. The fries and onions rings were below average. Overall, I don't think Don Chicken is bad. I just don't think it offers anything that would entice me away from the Bonchon's and Pelicana's.

    food is really good and the service was very fast and friendly! sweet and spicy was my favorite flavor for the wings. not overly priced. will definitely be a new regular spot for me!

    Good korean fried chicken. I think the best in the area. Service is always pretty quick and they have really juicy, crispy chicken. Sometimes they run out of certain things on the menu when you order late though. My favorite is either the plain crispy chicken or bburings (sweet, salty korean dry rub). The saucy chickens always get a little too saucy/wet for my taste. Warning! The spicy is pretty spicy. Can't really go wrong whether you get the wings, drumsticks, or whole chicken at this spot.

    Cheese Snowing French Fries
    Marites C.

    I was really in the mood for (k)orean (f)ried (c)hicken, but unfortunately my go to spot is closed during the covid crisis. I saw the really good reviews and decided to order a 10pc soy garlic, 10pc sweet & spicy, & cheese snowing fries. They don't offer smaller portions so I had no choice but to order 10pc each. My favorite flavor from any (kfc) joint is the soy garlic, but the soy garlic flavor from Don Chicken was completely lacking. It seems like they're cheap with the sauce & drizzle it on like syrup. The sweet & spicy flavor was too sweet for my liking. It tastes like a sauce from something you would get at the chinese spot. What I don't get is is that why are the sweet & spicy wings covered in the sauce, but the soy garlic isn't? I've never had snowing cheese so I didn't know what to expect, but I thought it was going to be on the salty/tangy side. Instead it was sweet-ish. The only thing I enjoyed was the radish that it comes with. Don't get me wrong, the crispness of the chicken was on point, but the flavors just didn't hit the spot. I literally had to throw a lot food out which I don't like doing. I would not come back here. P.S- They have a tiny parking lot in front of the store. There are like 4 spaces, but I believe you can park on the street.

    Spicy Soy Garlic Chicken Wings (spicy it is) and Sweet and Spicy Sauce Chicken Wings
    Alin C.

    I last reviewed another Korean fried chicken wing spot to see the difference between the two. Must I say, holy chicken, these were gooood. The batter on the wings at Don Chicken was especially nice and light. I didn't feel gross after eating them at all, instead I was floating on cloud 9. Wings ordered as follows; - spicy garlic soy - hot and spicy - sweet and spicy - original The cabbage slaw that is served with the wings is a great side to have. Interior: Don Chicken is fairly new to the neighborhood. It has great lighting and is fairly clean. You also have the option to order out to enjoy the deliciousness on your couch! Tips: Don Chicken is BYOB! Such a plus!!

    I seen great reviews about this place and I wanted to check it out while I was in the area. First time having this chicken and it was crispy like the others said. I had the soy garlic and sweet spicy and man I agree with the other yelpers who made a review about it. Price was great and the chicken was worth every penny I'm not over exaggerating neither. I know good chicken and I know the smell of good chicken but the taste isn't something I can explain to you. Go go go and try it out yourself. Won't regret it. Crispy , nice and hot , well packaged. They also give you gloves to eat with so that you don't mess up your hands but see I was hungry and I didn't have time to go through the bag. I had to burn my upper lip lol next time I'll let cool down but not to much bc you must eat while in the middle of hot and warm to taste the great crisp. They also did a great job from not letting the wings touch just incase people don't like when they wings touch. I'll definitely be going back again soon I want to try the other wings but make sure you get the fan favorite ( soy garlic ( barely taste the garlic & the sweet and spicy ) you'll enjoy it !

    The prices were too high for Korean fried chicken and the taste was average. We were charged $37 for one whole chicken. Very disappointed.

    Today I was craving a broth or noodle dish. I've been searching through various Japanese, Korean,…read moreand Chinese spots, and honestly, there were only two places where I actually liked this kind of stew. However, this restaurant ( MIGAM) completely exceeded my expectations! Everything is made with high-quality ingredients, and they prepared my takeout order exactly as I requested. SPICY BRISKET JJAMPPONG It's a spicy dish, but since spice levels vary from place to place--and being Mexican, I'm used to spicy food--I didn't want to take any chances, so I ordered it medium spicy. They hit the nail on the head! It was absolute perfection. The broth was rich, thick, and packed with flavor--delightful in every single way. The portion size is so generous that it will easily cover two meals, and I'm sharing some with my husband. It came with four sides (banchan), including kimchi, and I can honestly say it's the best kimchi I've ever had in my life--and I've tried Korean food both in Mexico and here in the U.S. I first visited this restaurant in Tenafly over a year ago when I believe they were just starting out. Back then, I met a woman who I believe is the owner. I am so glad to see they still maintain that same phenomenal quality! They cook with such attention to detail that I no longer have to worry about looking for another place to get this kind of food. Thank you so much, blessings, and congratulations on the wonderful work and dedication you put into preparing the most delicious Korean dishes I've ever tasted. See you very soon!

It seems like they only really have two people on staff, so be patient! The staff is very nice and try their best. But especially if three or more tables are filled - food will take awhile to arrive. The menu has a lot of standard Korean fare - Korean pancakes, bibimbops, noodle soups (black bean noodles, jjampong, kalguksu) and stews (galbi tang, bulgogi stew). The seafood pancake has more veggies and seafood than pancake. I've had the galbi tang twice, which is also hearty and packed with a lot of goodies. Worth a trip if you happen to be wandering around the Tenafly area. We will likely be back.

    My girlfriend was craving some Korean soup on a particularly chilly night and quick research led us…read moreto Choi Ga. You order at the counter and then you're given a number. Once your order is ready your number is called and you pick up your tray of food. There is signage in the restaurant indicating that they are self-serve and that you shouldn't tip. My girlfriend and I ordered beef soup and a seafood pancake. The food was prepared fairly quickly and they called our number to pick up the food from the counter. The seafood pancake was pretty good. Very flavorful but I felt like it was thicker and more doughy than I prefer. I would probably skip this for the next visit. The beef soup was delicious as well. It was just the right temperature and it was salty and savory enough without being overwhelming. We went on a particularly cold day so the hot soup really hit the spot. The pieces of beef in the soup were super tender too. Continuing the self-service theme there was a water dispenser and there was even a dispenser of broth at the pick up counter. I liked that broth even more than the broth in the beef soup. I slurped up several cups of it. I'd certainly come back.

He was going back and forth to so many tables and still having convos with everyone. Shout out to JoJo! You can do hot pot, kbbq, or both. It's also byob, so that's great. They provide the same cups as all the other drinks. Limited slushies from their machine. However, my favorite section of this place is their banchan and other hot foods selection. There's marinated wings, japchae, kimbap, stews, stirfry, tteokbokki, etc. For dessert, there's soft serve and bingsu! FYI, they don't have those large vents usually above the tables during kbbq, so make sure you're not going anywhere afterwards that minds you smelling like bbq. Located in a shopping area, so plenty of parking! Definitely will be visiting again!

    Every year on New Year's Day, my friend and I meet up for lunch since we are the only ones in NJ…read more It's always an Asian restaurant since they're typically the only ones who are open. Neither of us tried the Moon yet so we decided to check it out. I was able to easily make a reservation via Yelp for 6 people for 12:30 (4 adults + 2 toddlers). For the most part, we already knew what we wanted to order, so we placed an order for the BBQ items and hot pot meats first. Only the meats are the items you need to order. Everything else, you grab at the buffet - including seafood, fish balls, veggies, and noodles. The BBQ items are just okay, but that tends to be the case with you have hot pot + BBQ. The hot pot beef was good but the lamb was super gamey, which turned my broth into a gamey lamb flavor, making everything else I cooked in there have a trace of that too. Bottom line - skip the lamb. As for the buffet, they have a lot of options. Aside from the typical hot pot items, they also have some Korean dishes like kimbap, japchae, kimchi, as well as some fried items. I don't think I liked the Moon enough for a return trip. It's also slightly pricier than other hot pot + KBBQ spots, so I think I'll check out some of the other ones next time.
