I had a great experience here. The food was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The portions were a good size and the prices were fair. The staff was friendly and the place was clean, which made it even better. I would definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal. read more

Jollibee - Fast Food Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Went inside and really wanted to get the collab meal with FFXIV and of course good food. The food does NOT disappoint! Everything was hot and fresh, and their chicken in the sandwich was AMAZING! I rather go here than Chic-Fil-A inside QCM's food court around the corner! Also, they were VERY hospitable! Good mannered, even gave me a lot of napkins as it gets messy handling the chickenjoy. They even catered towards my side interest of getting me a clean box for collector's purposes; they went above and beyond by not only giving me a flattened clean box, but also packaging the other foods in smaller containers and bags to keep the current box holding them CLEAN! Summarily, they are VERY hospitable and their food tastes amazing! I would love to come back again on my next visit in the area for a good Peach Mango Pie as a snack, or get a meal for a good lunch or dinner. Highly recommend! read more

Jollibee - FFXIV Collab Box Meal: Chicken Sandwich, Chickenjoy piece, French Fries, Peach Mango Pie, Blue Raspberry Aether with Crystal Boba - Fast Food Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Been wanting to try Jolibee for a while so happily I had an appointment nearby and got a two piece meal with biscuit and a side of mashed potato & gravy as well as the pineapple drink which was 50 cents extra. I happily paid extra. It was a small cup with lots of ice.... Food came fast.. Plenty of seats available but I had a late lunch around 2:30pm. Convenient to the Woodhaven train station on the R line. I took a nice walk so just hopped on after ordering another meal for hubby. He got the 2 piece (half regular, half spicy) with adobe rice . I also got one each of the ube and peach mango cobbler to try. read more

I am an unabashed fan of Jollibee's Chickenjoy. Every time I hear about a new location anywhere near me (or an area I visit) I make it a point to check it out. When I saw them building up this new location over the summer I was eager to check it out, and this past week I was finally able to do so. This (relatively) new location is located on Queens Boulevard on the same block as the CityMD. They gutted and renovated this space, so it looks very new. When you enter a Jollibee statue greets you (and is a fun photo op!). The counter is beyond that where you order then move off to the side to wait for your order to be assembled. There is plenty of seating and it is not squished together. I'd be happy to eat in he restaurant but today I was taking my order to go. I ordered enough for five people to eat that day so my order was big. Given that, I was very happy to see my order get assembled amazingly quickly (I had about three people in front of me on line). I did not wait long at all and I was very impressed. I am happy to report that the food is every bit as good as the ones I've had from other locations. The chicken was crisp and wonderfully tasty. The mashed potatoes are fantastic and their spaghetti dish is a real treat! I also love their Mango Peach pie as it is prepared the way McDonalds used to make their pies when I was a kid (read: they fry them). I am very happy Jollibee's has come to Elmhurst and I look forward to visiting again! read more

Depending if you have a car or not this location is a nightmare or not... Parking is very difficult! Food is the same as the Woodside location including the service time..... Slooow! Be patient and enjoy. Love the gravy & fried chicken. My favorite is the peach pie! read more

This is the newest location of the Filipino fried chicken chain. I've been to their other Queens location in Woodside a few times before. This one is much bigger - about double the size. They offer the same great taste. I'm a fan of the fried chicken, which is very crispy and just as good as Popeye's in my opinion. Their sweet spaghetti is also delicious and another solid choice. Their menu is a little more diverse than American fried chicken places though. You can also get adobo rice, burgers, peace mango pies, pancit palabok, and more. I would avoid going to this location during the weekends though. It's way too crowded at that time. read more

As far as a fast food restaurant goes, Jollibee is one of my favorites. Along with many people I'm sure, I have been waiting for this location to open for quite some time. They have been in construction for what seems like forever. Well, they finally opened last Friday 8/22/2025. After one week in operations, I was able to take my family there last night for dinner. When we arrived, there was a line of about a dozen customers, but it moved quickly. There were about 4-5 servers at the cash register handling orders, while there was a separate online order pickup area. Behind the counter was the open kitchen where we saw 10+ workers prepping and making our food. Another 3-4 servers were walking around the dining area helping customers and cleaning up. From the moment we arrived till we received our meal was under 10 minutes. For a store that's just opened, they were extremely efficient. Let's talk about the food. If you never had Chickenjoy, then where have you been? Jollibee is the Filipino's version of Popeyes. Comparatively speaking, I believe their fried chicken is on par with Popeyes and possibly better in some regards. One thing in particular I like is the taste of the meat due to whatever brine or marinade they use. Another thing I notice is how it feels slightly less greasy than Popeyes. In the end, both products are good, but I am currently leaning towards Chickenjoy by a hair. Fyi, this location only sells both regular and spicy Chickenjoy in buckets of six pieces individually or with sides. No bigger buckets are currently available. An interesting note I took away from yesterday was that I prefer their original Chickenjoy over the spicy. That's unusual, but for some reason, it tastes juicier and more tender every time I had both. Can't explain it, but I have thought this way for a while now, so I will continue to observe this trend. Another interesting part of Jollibee for many customers is their assortment of unique side items. This location does not have Palabok, but does carry their popular Jolly Spaghetti and Adobo Rice. I personally don't love any of them, but dunking the fried chicken in their delicious gravy is certainly different. I don't prefer it myself, but will do so every once in a while. What's better is to use it with the fluffy biscuits. That I really enjoy. Lastly, when it comes to their sweets, we thought both Peach Mango Pie and Ube Pie were yummy. The Guava Quencher was pretty good, while the Guava Freeze didn't have as strong of a guava flavor but still tasted good. A pretty strong finish to an overall wonderful meal. read more

It's not often that I get to eat Jollibee, so whenever I do get the opportunity, I get excited. When it comes to fast food chicken, I often go back and forth between Popeyes and Jollibee as to which I prefer more. For me, there are several Popeyes locations within two miles, so it's more readily available. So when this Jollibee location opened up a few months ago--just under five miles away--I wanted to check it out. I finally had the chance to visit. The interior was clean, similar to other Jollibees, but the customer service was terrible. How many times do I have to say my name and show my phone to confirm my order? By the time the third person asked--with a nasty tone--I had to tell them I already showed the first two, and one of them even looked like they were packing my food. If it had been busy, I might have understood, but there were only five of us waiting for food. The attitude felt completely unnecessary. As I mentioned, the place is a bit under five miles away--not the easiest trip. So when I got home and opened my bag, I was even more annoyed to find my order was incorrect. I clearly ordered Adobo Rice, but instead, I got Steamed Rice. Sorry, but going back on the Van Wyck to the LIE is not an easy drive. If you haven't tried Jollibee yet, I still say give it a shot--but be cautious about this location. read more

Jollibee - Jolly Spaghetti - Fast Food Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

This was my third visit to this Jollibee, but the first time ordering takeout -- and unfortunately, it was a frustrating experience. We placed a big order: Chickenjoy in both Original and Hot & Spicy flavors, complete with their iconic flavorful gravy that instantly reminded me of home in the Philippines. We also got the Jolly Spaghetti with its distinct sweet banana ketchup sauce and red sausages, plus the Palabok, which was flavorful and satisfying on its own. So food-wise? No complaints. Everything was just as delicious and nostalgic as I expected. But the takeout packaging -- that's where things fell apart. For an order that cost over $80, all our food was handed to us in a plain brown paper bag with NO HANDLES. The buckets of chicken are bulky and heavy, so carrying them in those bags was a nightmare. I noticed several sturdy brown bags with handles sitting near the prep area, so I asked for one. The staff said those are only for online orders -- and if I wanted one, I'd have to buy it! What really annoyed me was that no one mentioned this "option" or extra fee when I placed the order. With the amount I spent and the size of the food containers, the least they could do is provide bags with handles for free -- especially since this branch is located right by a subway and bus station in NYC, where most customers are commuters. My child helped me carry the food, but we both had to hug the bags to keep them from ripping. It was stressful and awkward, and honestly ruined the excitement of surprising the family with a big Jollibee meal. So here's my takeaway (no pun intended): If you're planning a large takeout order, think twice -- it's not travel-friendly at all. Jollibee, I love your food, but for the prices we pay, please invest in proper takeout bags with handles. Your customers (and their arms) will thank you. read more

Honestly it is so disheartening to give Jollibee a 4 star rating because I think it partially had to do with my ordering. So to start off, the staff was extremely sweet and they all had a smile on their faces and were super patient as I was trying to decide what to eat. The store was nice and clean with bright lightning and multiple places for people to sit and enjoy their meal fresh. We tried the Guava refresher which was soooo good. It was super refreshing, not too sweet and the guava flavor was nice and pungent. Definitely a must try! The fries were okay but I wish they were a little bit crispier. The jolly spaghetti is always a favorite for me so I had no complaints other than wanting more (but I did get it as a side). Then moving over to the disappointing part of the meal. The Korean Bbq was a new flavor that they were promoting and I believe it was for a limited time only so I had to try it. Huge mistake, I should've just gotten their regular chicken with gravy which would've been delicious as it always is. The Bbq flavor was just too sweet and had no smokiness or kick of spice. My boyfriend and I both hated it and ended up taking off the skin (the best part) so that we could at least enjoy the chicken. Then we finished off with the classics peach mango pie which is my favorite and the ube pie which I thought was just okay but that was just a personal preference since I thought it tasted kind of like cheesecake and I do not like cheesecake. My boyfriend enjoyed the ube pie so he finished that with no complaints. Overall, I will be back again. I just don't know if I can trust anymore different chicken flavors. read more

Ordered the combo (~$20 for 6 big pieces of chicken and 2 drinks), 2 appetizers, ube pie, and mango pie. Chicken (original)- skin was crispy, meat was juicy. A bit salty though. The gravy is addicting. Couldn't finish the chicken so had some leftovers... was still good the next day! Drinks- lychee iced tea & guava iced tea. Both were super sweet. I preferred the guava over lychee, but had to dilute both drinks due to the high sugar content. Apps- mashed potatoes and fries. Small portion of mashed potatoes with lots of gravy, tastes okay. Fries were so so... kind of soggy and flavorless. Pies- crispy with decent filling. I preferred the mango over the ube. Service- nice, fast, and efficient. The place was super busy with tons of orders, but we didn't have to wait too long as they have a large team in the kitchen, taking orders, and assembling completed orders. Interior: bright and clean, with tables that can fit larger groups. Overall, the chicken was the best item we ordered. I'd definitely go back for that and maybe the pies. 3.5, rounding up. read more

While I would like to say good things about this place, I think I'd had to give it another go here. I'm so happy to see this place finally open and glad to see it has a even bigger space than the one in Woodside. I came in pretty early on a Saturday morning (like 30 min after it opened), the decor is cute and spacious. Thinking I was only going to get a peach mango pie, it would be a quick and easy seamless process as I've seen the amount of pies on hand (and employees). No. I was the next in line, and there was two cashiers. One was handling another customer (which she forgot her wallet in the car) and I made eye contact with the other cashier. He did not look happy to be there. He walked away as for the other employees whom I made eye contact with. I had to wait for the one who is with the other cashier to take my order. Mind you, there was another person behind me waiting. Only then when the line behind me kept getting longer, (3+ people) did the one who's taking the customer (I would assume is the manager or something) asked out loud for someone to take the next guest. Anyway, I liked that there was 2 options of pies to choose from (never heard of the Ube pie- will try next time). And I like that there is options here that the Woodside location doesn't have. I will update my review when I come back here again! read more

Jollibee - Wall decor - Fast Food Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I was so excited that a new Jollibee opened near us. I love their mango peach and ube pie. I miss their halo halo though. Inside there is some seating. When we went that day it wasn't crowded. I got the chicken joy with palabok and guava drink. The chicken as usual was hot and juicy. I don't know about its authenticity but I like the palabok and always get it when I'm there. The guava drink was very sweet but had a strong guava flavor. My daughter got the lychee drink which tasted better i thought. As usual, the meal was finished off with a deep fried mango peach pie. Yum! read more

Amazing! Happy with this location and so happy that it's finally open! This branch is clean, vibrant and welcoming. Their fried chicken (both the original and spicy) blows all other fast food places out the water. A huge shout out to their peach mango pie - delicious! Service is kind, patient and friendly. Although, I haven't tried their burgers - I do recommend stopping by and trying some of their other food items. You can't go wrong. read more

It's been some time since I've been to a Jollibee. I've been on my review quest of several restaurants so it doesn't leave me much room to revisit any of them, whether I've enjoyed my time there or not and I've been waiting for this location to open up for some time and the moment I realized it filly opened, I wasted no time to show up. The location itself is nice and spacious with the Jollibee mascot kinda front and center, then again ol' Jollibee is usually the most visible being in any given location which is something you don't see nowadays from any other fast food joint, a mascot with presence, panache, aura. Jollibee got that in spades and then some but enough mascot glazing, lol. Place is spacious, clean and service is pretty orderly. It's a fast food joint, I don't expect premier service but it should at least not suck and I've never had a bad experience with the 5 Jollibees I've gone to so props to the staff. On to the food. Jollibee had a promotion going on with a female band called Katseye which Korean BBQ Chicken was the focal point of the promotion so I went with a 2 piece of that, along with my favorite side from there Adobo Rice and an Angus Cheeseburger. The Chickenjoy smothered in Korean BBQ sauce (YOU HEAR THAT POPEYES? SMOTHERED! NONE OF THAT LIGHT GLAZE NONSENSE WITH YOUR SAUCED CHICKEN WINGS!), sorry about that, lol I digress, that sauce, was delicious but damn it was mighty overwhelming. The heat from the KBBQ Chickenjoy beat me down, but I managed to finish it. If you're a fan of the bomb fire heat, you're gonna love it. Adobe Rice always hits though I admit, I'm so used to putting the trademark gravy on it so it was missing a little something to make it perfect. The Cheeseburger was pretty nice and is an affordable premium burger though to be honest, I prefer the Aloha Burger (aka Big Kahuna Burger) more. I'll be venturing near Queens Center mall for Christmas shopping so I might come back here soon. read more

On our way into the city, we needed to get some dinner before a show. We found a Jollibee right off the LIE so we decided to try it. Of course, there is no parking so we were dropped off to pick up the order. It is a well lit space with plenty of seating. We waited a few minutes for our order. This location doesn't offer chicken tenders so went with a bucket of Chickenjoy, mash potatoes, biscuits and peach mango pie. Oh my, the chicken pieces were big, juicy and delicious! The mashed potatoes had pieces of potato in it. Biscuits were very good and the pie was yum! Now I can see why they have such huge following! read more

I am so glad they opened this location. The spicy fried chicken is the best, it was so juicy. The ube pie was also delicious. The service was great as well.

Ate here today after work as a paraprofessional at P.S. 12 Q. I had brought and ate the 2 fried chicken combo that it tasted quite delicious and amazing. The service there was also attentive and super fast. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time. read more

I ordered takeout and my food was ready in just 10 minutes--super quick service! The food was fresh, and the chicken was perfectly crispy, consistent with other Jollibee locations. I'll definitely be coming back to this location since they're so efficient, unlike some other spots where the wait can take a while. read more

Happy to see the place is finally open! I don't know if I was just extra hungry but everything was spot on. Ordered the 6 piece chicken, angus deluxe burger, adobo rice, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and guava freeze. Spicy chicken was juicy, crispy and just the right amount of kick. Angus burger wasn't too shabby. Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were good and tasty. Adobo rice was the best side. Lastly that guava freeze was so good! All in all a great spot to get your fried chicken fix. read more

Best chicken sandwich in New York , crispy and juicy, and service was excellent ambient. Excellent everything is the best.

ZERO stars for service- this is a new location but you can clearly tell that every employee hates working there. The male cashier gave us bad attitude, not even welcoming Food- 3 stars and that's being generous- aloha chicken sandwich was nasty. It looked like it has been sitting there the whole night and chicken was triple fried. The fries were not fresh and you can taste the old oil being used. read more

This new spot is is always packed - but it's very clean and bright with good service. I got the bucket of chicken and the angus beef cheeseburger. Surprisely very good burger but on the expensive side for the size. The fries are not very good - sliced very thinly and soft. Jolliebee need to improve their French fries, otherwise do not bother ordering. The chicken was well seasoned, crispy, and comes with gravy. Due to the saltiness of the batter, I don't believe the gravy is all that necessary but it's an option. read more

In my 28 years of professional dining experience, never have I been to an establishment akin to the fast food giant, known as "Jollibee" When stepping into restaurant I was met with joyful colorful decor and also a few snippets of historical "fun facts" for this well known eatery, a nice touch to bring some knowledge into a world descending into illiteracy There was also a plastic rendition of their self-named mascot Jolliebee, gang leader to the group of other delinquent mascots. Staring into the cold void of his eyes and the soft yet bleak melancholy of his performative smile, I found comfort in a character that seemed to be pushed into a limelight he never wanted, but is prey victim to regardless as for the food...... I first had their frozen guava slush. As a kid I enjoyed this semi tart and bright flavor, it was my favorite so I was excited to try it. The taste was surprisingly strong and accurate but the sugar content was a little too strong for my delicate sensibilities. And to that I give a 4 out of 5 Next I had the Spaghetti..... this, my readers, has taken me on a purgatorial journey I never cared to go on and one I never deserved. Not only did I not order this abomination that descended against my taste buds and unfortunately my stomach, but it was a war on itself to which there was simply no victor. Why I had to internally question how much sugar they added to this dish, is something I will be asking god on on judgement day unless I survive this war of terror bequeathed to my intestines. Aside from sugared blasphemy there was a pathetic sense to serve the umami taste that we know and love from this traditional dish. There was ground beef and tomato sauce but they decided to try and get "creative" and add.... hot dogs.. which brought me back to my past lower class struggle meal recollections that I feel I should not have had to relive in a space such as this (or maybe, it might actually be the right move for a fast food place) After further research I found that they use.... and forgive me readers for this part.... they use a BANANA Ketchup as an additive to their sauce..... At this point I am now certain that the devil lives among us. The last hail mary I tried to perform for this meal was to add the side of gravy they had given. I am not a religious woman but I prayed to any entity that would hear me and found no solace in their eventual and foreshadowed silence. In the end it was a civil war where both sides seemed to be releasing haphazard bullets into the darkened night sky and into their fellow man. .... 3 out of 5 The chicken was really good though, I got a one piece with my spaghetti and it was a dark meat thigh 5 out of 5 for that. read more

Food is good. They are busy and they leave out some things a lot. They almost forgot one of my items till i told them but then when i got home they forgot my mango pie. I lost the receipt so customer service wont help me. Its just a pie but i got heated because of their customer service. read more

Ordered online today. Chicken is dark meat, and it tasted very good. Skin is crispy and meat is moist. Although I think the pieces are kind of smaller compared to popeyes. Had their chicken sandwich too, and Korean BBQ one (this one had a strong BBQ aroma and spicy. Mango peach pie always hit the spot. Fries were soggy, not good. Had their coconut and mango coconut drink, it was ok. Ordered came out quick. However, when I went the staff for a pick up, I used my phone to show a picture of the order number I had done on my laptop, but she wanted to see my name on the phone. I told her I order via my PC and I only took a pic of the order number. She said it has to match my name, WTF! Can she just check the order number instead? Can she be more flexible on this? That attitude i do not like.. she needs to be trained on her customer service . I could have given 5 stars if not for that. read more
