Original tenders (lemon cheese and honey mustard sauces)
Michelle L.

Overall a solid spot for a chicken sandwich in Ithaca. I am in love with their cute packaging! I split the original tenders and spicy chicken sandwich with a friend. I preferred the sandwich. Though the chicken was strangely stringy... I thought I was getting chunks of cartilage or something, but it turned out that the chicken just had an off-putting texture. I could not chew parts of it which made it difficult to eat. I enjoyed the actual seasoning of the chicken though! The tenders were good, but again the chicken had bands of impossible to chew bits. Nice and crisp though. I liked the sauces. Honey mustard is what you would expect, and the lemon cheese sauce was surprisingly sweet but paired well with the chicken. They give you gloves which come in cute little packets so you don't get your hands dirty which was nice. Maybe we just got a bad batch of chicken... I will likely return a 2nd time and will see.

I visited Ninja Chicken & Friends after seeing rave reviews and decided to grab some quick shareables for a picnic, opting for their takoyaki and popcorn chicken. They seemed to have a bubble tea promotion too (if you get an entree, then you could get boba for a measly dollar). The wait was longer than expected. Here's a quick review: * Popcorn Chicken ($6.50) Pretty good, though my friend said it used to be better. Loved the variety of flavors and toppings. A solid 3.5/5. * Takoyaki ($7.95) Not the most authentic - seaweed instead of bonito flakes - but decent if you're not a purist. A 2/5 for me. I've heard good things about their drinks, especially since they use real fruit, so I'll definitely try that next time. For now, I'll give this spot a 3.5 out of 5.

How cute is this!!!?? French fries and chicken sandwich with a milk tea!

I ordered through uber eats and was so impressed with the packaging, the milk tea (had boba) and the yummy quality and size of the meal. The chicken had a nice spice and although it wasn't crunchy, it packed some nice flavor and was nice cuts of chicken. The fries were huge and I loved the fact they even sent a little packet of gloves. The highlight for sure was the tea. Rich but not too filling. Smooth and an equal flavor of tea and milk with tons of boba! The cup it came in made it so much fun too!

I tried the sweet potato zang zang special bubble tea. I thought it was really good. You have to…read moremix the paste smeared on the outside of the cup into the milk but once it was mixed in, it was a nice flavour and not too sweet. The pearls were chewy and cooked well. There are lots of drinks on the menu and most of them can be made with non-dairy milk and with the sweetness and ice levels adjusted. I had no choice but to visit them during BU move-in weekend which was the only weekend I was in Vestal and it was, as I expected, very busy. I don't usually like to order online but I did this time to save some time and that was definitely a smart move because the line was very long. I was frustrated though because I saw what I was pretty sure was my drink get prepared and set on the counter and then sit there for like 5 minutes because there was no one attending to the online order drinks. When someone made a drink for a customer that had ordered in person they would hand that drink to the customer and then immediately run back to making the next order so I couldn't ask anyone because they were always busy. I mean, it's fair that they were working hard to keep up with orders but I just wanted someone to take 5 seconds to hand me my drink.

Disappointing slimy "bubbles (boba)". Also the tea served warm. My 1st time ever to experience…read moresuch a sub-standard bubble tea. I would not recommend it.

The worst Korean food I have ever had. Potentially the worst meal I have ever had (and I'm not a…read morepicky eater). My mom is Korean and my dad, though Chinese, grew up in Korea and speaks Korean fluently. Needless to say, they both know what good Asian food should be like. Well, they came here ~3 years ago and told me not to come because the food was bad. I guess curiosity eventually killed the cat... I came here with a friend and we split the tangsuyuk, sundubu jigae, and the donkatsu. Everything was horrible. Honestly, the best thing was the miso soup. The ban chan was also bad. The sundubu jigae tasted like water and the seafood was rubbery and overcooked. The tangsuyuk was dry and the sauce was too watery, nowhere near as thick as it should be. The sauce too was bland. The donkatsu was also dry and flavorless. I would not recommend at all. Please go somewhere else... anywhere else.

Bleh why have they regressed :( It was good when they first opened, and then it became acceptable…read more I would go if we have a larger group and are focused more on the company than on the food. The quality is choppy, and there are some things that you would only know is askew if you've been to Korean places in Koreatowns or in Seoul. E.g., the dumplings in the army stew were overcooked and the soon dubu can come out lukewarm (their reason was "we didn't want to scald you" but we order stone pot things for the hot sizzles). Overall good in a pinch, but I would only go if it's the most convenient option.
