    One of the other few halal spots in Flushing. The seasoning on the chicken is Chinese five-spice and a whole-lotta white pepper. This flavor profile was new to me and I really enjoyed it. We got the popcorn chicken in medium heat, I would argue it wasn't spicy at all for those who cannot handle heat. I wish there was a sauce to accompany the popcorn chicken as I found it exceptionally dry. Also got the breast cutlet to go. The cutlet was very oily and heavily breaded. You can choose either white or dark meat but it isn't clear on the menu. If I were to pick one, I would choose the popcorn chicken, as it is easier to eat.

    Ever since visiting Taiwan and having street food, specifically the chicken cutlet stalls, it's something I crave and can't readily find in the US. Saw Legend Chicken and immediately decided it was worth dodging all the massage ladies clearly seeking more than massages right outside. I got the leg cutlet because I like dark meat but the worker said the other cutlet is probably double the size and even though it's white meat is still really tender. Will have to try that the next time I'm in town but had my Taiwanese chicken cutlet craving satisfied here!

    Nothing bad persay but nothing special either. Chicken is good maybe a little on the pricey side but still tastes good. Service was quick but no seating as it's just a hole in the wall

    Hot Spicy Legend Chicken
    Carina H.

    The Spicy Hot Legend Chicken was more hot temperature-wise than it was spice-wise, which is rare and not a bad thing! You could see the heat coming off the chicken. Even wearing the plastic disposable gloves provided, my fingers felt the heat of the chicken. I would recommend using the wooden skewers. The chicken was juicy and tender. This is very much a grab-and-go spot, but there are some tables and chairs in the small dining hall.

    Glad they fix the menu with correct pricing, so no surprised up charging the chicken is very good as always. During the week there's lunch break at 2-3pm now. And closer on Wednesdays

    Legend chicken mild spicy with plum powder, legend pops Taiwanese style, broccoli, and green beans
    Farah M.

    Food was delicious. I loved the chicken. Even with mild spice level it was very spicy! So I recommend not getting it spicy at all. Instead get the plum powder. Also Taiwanese style was a little too garlicky for me but if you're a garlic fan go for it! The broccoli and green beans were also worth it! Service was normal. Not a lot of place to sit but thankfully was not crowded. It's definitely worth the trek to Flushing!

    Blood Rice Cakes

    Food stall with the stalls on the ground floor and a couple tables for seating in the back. The upstairs used to be seating as well, but is now employee only. They have a digital menu. Service was quick and friendly. The cashier said it would take 5-10 minutes and my order was ready in 5 minutes! Everything was packaged nicely in small containers with a couple skewers in each box. She put in napkins as well. I got the Legend Pops (popcorn chicken) with the hot level spicy. I was told it was very spicy, which was indeed very spicy! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Although I enjoy the spiciness, I think this would be better enjoyed mild or medium. The spiciness kinda takes away from the chicken. I ended up brushing off the chili powder and flakes, which sucks because it's 50¢ extra for the hot level spicy. I was craving some Blood Rice Cakes, so I got those as well. I went with mild level spicy. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, though a little on the salty side. It has a good amount of white pepper too, so if you're not a fan of that, then this is not for you. Decent spot if you're looking to grab and go. I would order in person, as food apps jack up the price, and it's not much of a wait.

    Pretty massive cutlet. It had some nice spices on it but some parts of it were a bit dry.

    Leg cutlet
    Jenny W.

    Hands down love their Taiwanese fried chicken! I usually get the leg cutlet and it's cooked to perfection. It always comes out super juicy and crispy. It's located in a store with bunch of other food stalls. There are limited seats in the back for you to eat the food. Highly recommend!!

    This place is hidden in the small food court. If you see yaya tea in the front, you're in the right place. Got their legend chicken. The medium hot is SPICY. My spice tolerance is really high so trust me, if you can't handle your spice, tone down. Big portion for the price (I think $14 something ). Thick cut of chicken breast, it has bones, so be careful. Lots of other snack and rice dish too.

    Leg cutlet! They even give you gloves and napkins to eat it with haha very thoughtful

    Made it to legend chicken! I got the mild since I'm a wimp at spice. The leg cutlet seemed to be the thing to get. My leg cutlet was nicely breaded and was huge! I liked the taste but the seasoning was too white pepper for my taste. My best friend who loves pepper loved this chicken so I'm glad she was able to enjoy it when I couldn't eat it anymore haha. Interested to see what other flavors food they have :)

    One of my go to spots whenever I'm in flushing. Their chicken was crispy and juicy. The meat is super tender and flavorful. For the size of the piece of chicken you get the price is extremely affordable.

    Sweet potato fries

    Yum! one of the tastiest Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken I've had in a long time. Counter lady was really friendly and ordering process was simple and quick. Wait time for my order wasn't too long. One order of the chicken was packed full and piping hot; comes with wooden skewers. Chicken itself was seasoned pretty well, though it would be nice to have a variety of sauces rather than just ketchup. The sweet potato fries was good too; not too oily was fairly sweet. Overall, nice stall located within this narrow Flushing food-hall.

    So far the best Taiwanese fried chicken I've ever eaten in NY. The turnip cakes are a must-try!

    Honestly, not sure why everyone rates this fried chicken so positively. With all the options in the…read moreNew World Mall Food Court, I never even considered this place whenever I'm here. However, my friends really wanted to try their food, so I obliged. We got a few items. The popcorn chicken was just okay. Too much batter and too little meat. The fried chicken wings were quite juicy, but not much flavor whatsoever. Same goes for the 3 for $5 deal where we ordered spicy. The chicken thigh had a tiny bit of heat, but overall bland. Even worse with the drumstick and whole wing. With high ratings, this was major a letdown. It took me forever to finally try this spot, and it's definitely one and done for me.

    Rating: 4/10 Date Last Visited: 1/17/2026…read more I ordered the Chicken Sandwich ($3). The sandwich was cheap, so I wasn't expecting much, and I didn't receive much. The sandwich is very small and looked a bit sad, but honestly, it was decent. The chicken itself was decent, but the sauce was good. I would need to go back and try their actual fried chicken, since I feel like they have better entrees than this. Also, it felt like the chicken sandwich was not fresh at all since it was already a bit cold when I received it. They're located in the New World Mall food court and take credit cards, which is convenient. Overall, I would not recommend the chicken sandwich here, but maybe I'll come back and try the fried chicken.

Great value too (for $50 you can get a family combo that includes a variety of sandwiches, wraps, wings, A WHOLE CHICKEN, fries, nuggets, cheese sticks, and a large soda!).

Seriously, don't sleep on the espresso drinks... you can save a few "bucks" by coming here instead and supporting this small business (hehe, see what I did there?). Clean indoor seating is available (small tables that fit about 4 adults). The girl at the counter is always super sweet.

My toddler likes her a lot and wants to play with her and visit every so often. The food across the board is delicious. I have pretty much tried everything here except a few of the appetizers and the pistol legs. The only item that I don't particularly like is the pumpkin pie, while it's tasty and has a nice texture I don't really taste any pumpkin. I hope this place stays open would really be a good staple and some added variety to the restaurants available in the few blocks of stores located in this section of 108 street.

    Dave's Hot Chicken in Fresh Meadows not only lives up to the hype but exceeds it with remarkable…read moreconsistency and bold, well crafted flavor. The Fresh Meadows location is right by Kohl's with ample parking. The standout hospitality began the moment I walked in. An employee directed me to the counter and helped me place my order, explaining the menu items. Another friendly employee ( I think his name was Alex) noticed my large order and personally helped carry four trays of food to the table, setting the tone for a genuinely great visit. From the first bite, it's clear this is far from ordinary fast-casual fare--the chicken is juicy beneath a perfectly crisp, non-greasy coating, and the spice levels are seriously dialed in, whether you opt for a manageable Mild or decide to take on a real heat challenge. I love that the chicken rests on the white bread which absorbs all the delicious juices. The menu is thoughtfully simple, focusing on sliders, tenders, and satisfying sides, all served fresh and hot. All delicious. The kale coleslaw is a triumph. So are the pickles. I despise pickles, yet ill eat all the pickles at Dave's. They're so good! And don't even think about skipping the Oreo milkshake, thick, refreshing, and loaded with real cookie chunks, it's the ideal finale, especially if you've embraced the spice. For anyone in Queens craving authentic, high quality Nashville style fried chicken, this spot is absolutely worth a special trip. Highly recommended, and to top it all, IT'S HALAL!!! WHAT?!?! AN ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER. PS. In an environment where bigotry is running rampant, this Muslim woman thanks you for making her feel a little more included.

I'm glad there is now in a location in Queens with a huge parking lot. The prices are not very cheap but they do give good quality chicken. You can control the level of spiciness you want and their combo comes with fries, chicken and bread if you order the sliders. The chicken is very moist and flavorful and the fries are seasoned nicely. I will be returning.
