We ordered the wings and did half spicy and half soy garlic, the corn dog with cheese and the vegetable bimbimbap. The chicken was delicious and I actually accidentally ate a spicy wing and it wasn't terribly spicy. The corn dog was pretty good. I only had one bite while my family fought to eat the rest. The vegetable bimbimbap was also good but could use a tad more flavor. Yes, I did add the bean sauce it comes with but just wish I didn't have to use so much since I'm not the biggest fan of the bean sauce. The place was pretty empty when we came for dinner around 5ish but they seem to get a lot of take out orders. The staff was nice and service was good.

The food was very fairly priced and the portions were huge. We got the pork soup dumplings, pork fried rice, szechuan chicken (which came with white rice), and pad see ew (which though not listed comes with pork, chicken, and shrimp). Everything was solid, but our favorite was the fried rice which had a ton of flavor. I liked the veggies that were in the chicken dish but there were just way too many of them compared to the chicken and I wasn't crazy about the sauce. The pad see ew wasn't made the traditional way I've had it with soy sauce and oyster sauce. It had some sort of orange sauce that tasted closer to a sweet and sour. It wasn't bad it was just not what I was hoping for. The soup dumplings were solid, no complaints there. And the fried rice was great, lots of flavor. Overall, I liked this place especially for the price but I'd probably order different things if I went back.

I found parking down the block and walked over to the restaurant. It seems like more of a delivery spot because there was no one inside sitting at any of the 5 tables. It's a fairly good size space, very simply decorated, mixed with a cool wall resembling a curio cabinet of treasures. I chose a spot in the middle and went to the restroom which was clean and simple. I noticed there were a lot of takeout orders, from delivery services to local folks picking up their regular dinner. I looked over the menu and decided on salt and pepper wings and an order of shrimp. Fried Rice came out first and it was delicious. I even tasted a hint of salted egg yolk mixed into the egg mixture friefried up with the rice that signature crispiness with the little saltiness.... fantastic. The salt and pepper wings were different than the ones i'm accustomed to though the flavor was amazing.It didn't have the fried garlic, peppers, chilis, and onions that i'm accustomed to being in the dish. They were still flavorful, juicy and crisp and I could tell they cooked them fresh.That was much appreciated. I ended up taking half of my food home because I was stuffed.Thank you Msm Ellen and the Crown Garden crew for a tasty solo dinner.

The ambience gives you an experience that that you're stepping into a the owner personal home kitchen. The open concept of the kitchen lets you not only see what they doing but your able to interact with them as they make you're food. The Buffalo-Hone Sandwich is a must have and please make sure you get Court St. Fries. As you're biting into the sandwich the juices that flow out will drop onto the fries making the flavor blast more the moment you bite into it.

Happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised! Almost everything we ordered was delicious! Both Korean Fried Chicken orders had good flavor and great for sharing. I rarely see Soy Ginger as an option (usually it's Soy Garlic) but I like the slight sharpness it added to each bite. The Seafood Pancake was crispy, loaded with seafood, and paired nicely with the ponzu. The Slow Loris Roll was incredible! The rice ratio was just right, there was a good variety of fish and it was all fresh, the avocado and sauces added nice creaminess, and torching the roll was the cherry on top. The Spicy Bulgogi Fried Rice with Cheese was super savory, the sunnyside egg was cooked perfectly, and the portion was solid. I didn't care for the cheese and honestly could've done without and not noticed. It did need something to cut through the richness. I did enjoy the Beef Galbi much more! It is brought to the table sizzling and smelling amazing. It's savory, sweet, and smoky. I like that it's paired with kimchi & rice making this is complete meal. All in all, I was impressed with everything here! We were also a large party (7 people) yet everything was served correctly and in a timely fashion. Definitely recommend stopping by!

The best way I can describe this little hole in the wall is a chicken shack in the middle of a…read morebackyard which happens to have seating. There's also a Mexican spot in case you don't want tacos here or something as well as a bar in the same weird location. I would call it bizarre but also fun. The first time I came here was soon after they were supposed to open and the guy wasn't there and as there is likely still only one person working there, you might need to get another lunch instead. The menu here is jerk chicken related options including a chicken taco (what) along with some Asian inspired sides of all things (even more what.) The jerk chicken I had was moist but it lacked a bit of spice to be truly called jerk chicken outside of the skin. It was perfectly fine. I also ordered a side which was the soy-glazed rutabaga with charred scallion and chili dark sesame which was $7. This messy delicious side dish was better than the chicken being much more well flavored with a bit of heat in back and plenty of sour and sweetness. I also had an iced tea which was $3 which was slightly fruity and it was fine also. I find rating and writing about this place a bit weird as the side was good enough to be at a really good restaurant. If the jerk was as good as the side, I would recommend the place more. Guy in front is nice. Hope they do well but it's a weird location (at least it's close to Smith.) 3.something.

A couple of weeks ago, a colorful food stand appeared on the corner of Smith & Pacific, behind the…read moreBlank Street Coffee stand. The sign says YARDBIRD. That and the colors painted on the container (and also the menu) say jerk chicken. I like jerk chicken. I also walk by this corner 25 times a week, and I'm glad I finally checked it out. There's a nice deck back there, with a few mismatched tables, and classic rock blasting out of an old radio. It was 11:55 am, and although the sign said they opened at noon, the guy sitting out front in an apron was ready to go. His name is Alan, and he seems like a New York original, in the best way. Quick wits, no nonsense, ready with a joke, but also a little salty...but in the best way. I'd imagine it's his jerk chicken stand. I asked a couple of questions, and ended up getting a 1/4 jerked chicken with curry pickles, rice and peas, and greens. They're listed individually, but Alan gave me a bit of each, and said we could call it a lunch special. It was all delicious. The chicken was juicy and smoky. It was cut in three pieces (bone in, skin on) with some heat that creeped up on you. I amped it up with a generous amount of the mango hot sauce that Alan is justifiably proud of. The pickles were sharp and flavorful. The greens weren't collard like I expected, but brighter and raw. The rice and peas were a good base to cool it all down, but I squirted a ton of that hot sauce on them too. By the end of it, I was sweating a little from the spice, which is how it should be after you eat some jerk chicken. I'm gonna come back and eat it again soon.
