Peeps Gang Jeong
Chris S.

My friend had been raving about this place for a long time and I finally tried it. Unfortunately I was underwhelmed. I had higher expectations and was let down. Not that I didn't enjoy it. In facts I only have one complaint and I'll admit it's more of a preference issue. I got the gang jeong chicken which I was told was their specialty. Well, it wasn't for me. It wasn't gross or anything. It tasted fine in fact, just didn't do anything for me personally. I normally prefer spicy and more bold flavors. I actually do have a sweet tooth. Unfortunately this sauce really just did nothing for me. It barely had flavor for me and the sweetness wasn't much. Again, this could be a personal problem. As for the chicken itself, it was good. Decently crispy and fresh. It was good chicken. Peeps in my opinion isn't one of the best Korean fried chicken spots in the city. I've had others that I felt were better. So much so that I'm surprised at the rating this has on here. It's good chicken, nothing more, nothing less. I think different sauces could elevate it. I'm open to coming again.

Peeps Padak (Scallion Chicken)
Simon W.

One of my new favorites! How is it that I just found out about Peeps Kitchen just now!? First off, let me just say no matter what fried chicken you choose, it will all be so tender and juicy, there is no bad fried chicken here. I personally go for the thrilling padak with the fried-crunchy-for-days chicken breast with dijon mustard-soy on the side and julienned scallions is my favorite. If getting this to go, the pro tip would be to put the fried chicken in a bowl when you get home and pour the sauce over it and mix well. Top with the sprinkled julienned scallions for a perfect padak. The Gang Jeong version with the house sauce is also a favorite. This sweet and spicy topped with sesame seed and almonds is a great contrast to the original. I have yet to try their chicken burger but it's on my list to try soon! There is no onsite seating but this fried chicken won't get soggy so not to worry. Get your hands dirty at home! Finally the owners are just beautiful people serving up fantastic delicious food with a smile on their face every time I walk in no matter how back breaking it is to run a business as a small mom and pop in the world today. Give these lovely people a smile and a break when you walk in and wait outside if possible because it's tight inside. Order ahead and wait patiently, great food is worth the wait!

Service: ?/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: takeout only Mom + Pop run / hole-in-the-wall / hidden jem of a place. Solid Korean fried chicken, great for groups! Ordered 2 large combos to feed 5 people + we had so much leftover, everyone got a second meal out of it. Tip: I think the combos used to come w/ pickled radish, but not anymore, you gotta order it on your own! What I Ordered: - Combo B: stayed crispy even after a commute. juicy + I think the thighs come de-boned - Seasoned Fries: skip it, dry, stale + no flavor - Sweet Potato Fries: soggy, no other flavor besides its natural sweetness - Kimchi: fresh, not spicy - Scallion Ginger Sauce: tasted a little like honey mustard, my fav so far - Soy Garlic Sauce: classic - Sweet + Spicy Sauce: actually quite spicy (for a person w/ low tolerance) - Extreme Hot Sauce: I did not attempt, but friends said first bite was unexpected

The chicken was very crispy, and fresh - piping hot. Fun, casual atmosphere at their new location.

Gang Jeong Box
Moeka S.

We got this delivered because our friends recommended this place very strongly!! We got medium size chicken thigh (6pcs of big thighs) and Gang Jeong Box. The chicken was crispy and delicious. And the sauces were delicious, too. I was just expecting more punch and oomph to the flavor, but some of the sauces were difficult to tell what the MAIN PUNCH flavor was. Loved the box deal but kimchi, too, I feel like could've had more flavors too it. The chicken were great but I feel that the flavoring could've been more bold!!

Peeps Gang Jeong Peeps Padak (Scallion Chicken) Tteok Kkochi

Good portion- got two regular sizes as a delivery order. enough for two people to eat it as a meal twice. Overall good food- (1) peeps gang jeong is a bit too sweet to me as a standalone dish. Personally would have appreciated a slight spicy kick. (2) peeps padak has a good crunch and pairs really well with the scallion. I would consider ordering again. Tteok Kkochi was all right. My companion really liked it. Fair to try once at least. Thought it was a bit pricey at first but its a relatively large in size so made sense for NYC.

My favorite Korean fried chicken in all of NYC. First off, Peeps Kitchen is run by the sweetest couple ever. They are the friendliest, warmest people you'll ever meet. You can really tell that their food is a labor of love, and you'll taste it in every bite! Like all the other reviews mention, there's no seating, so make sure to call ahead of time. They also don't start serving chicken until dinner, so plan accordingly. For lunch, they exclusively serve bento boxes (I have yet to try them, but it's definitely on my list). Now to the chicken--the glorious crunchy chicken that is Peeps. The crunch is just absolutely insane. If you get sauce, definitely ask for it on the side so that your chicken doesn't get soggy. After the crunch comes the tender, juicy insides, so fresh and delicious. The texture of their chicken is an experience in and of itself. Their soy garlic sauce is perfection, and if you want a little bit of a kick, they have a couple of spicy options. You also MUST get their tteok kkochi (fried rice cake w/sausage skewers). The texture of the rice cakes is incredible. Crispy around the edges but super chewy and soft on the inside. The sausage is also always grilled perfectly, and the spicy sauce that comes on top is delectable. It's also a perfect snack to eat on the go! Peeps is just THE place for Korean fried chicken.

Amazing crunch on the fried chicken, great flavor all around, and super kind service. No place to sit inside as its very small, but a GREAT takeout option. That was some amazing fried chicken, solid fries and I'd recommend it!

Ohhhh the sauceeee   Peeps Sweet and Spicy Peeps Soy Garlic
Tati C.

I came once and that was all I needed! But I was def back for more it's worth the walk too. The food stays crispy and it's bursting with flavor. ESP with their option to choose 2 sauces on the side. Their gang jeong chicken is fried perfectly and topped with sauce or they have wings without sauce. I had their beef dumplings , banging The food prep takes a min like 45min so call ahead! Check them out! A lovely couple in the kitchen, giving you great tasting food and so sweet in person.

Wings
Theresa L.

This is a take out only spot. Ordered the Korean fried chicken wings with the sweet and spicy sauce. Would definitely order the wings again! Wings were crispy and sauce was good. The only drawback is that you have to pay for the sauce separately. One of the top places in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area for Korean fried chicken wings.

Decided to order from this Korean mom & pop restaurant after reading other Yelp reviews. Opens late in the afternoon till as late as midnite. The couple owner were very friendly and service was great. The restaurant is takeout only. It may look large from the outside but there was hardly any room inside to wait for takeout. Best to order online for delivery or to pickup. I decided to try the popular recommended dishes. I ordered the Peeps Gang Jeong (fried boneless chicken chunks glazed with house Gang Jeong sauce), Peeps Padak (fried boneless chicken chunks with shredded scallions and house Padak sauce), and the Tteok Kkochi (grilled sausage and rice cake skewer). Food took a while to make but worth the wait. Padak had no seasoning nor taste until mixed with the sauce which made it unexpectedly very tasty. Gang Jeong was also very good with the slightly sweet glaze. The Tteok Kkochi sausages were deliciously smoky and rice cake chewy; dipped in the plum flavored sauce made them even better. Portions were large and neatly packed. Overall, an enjoyable experience.

Most Asian…read morerestaurants in this neighborhood are fancy sit-downs, so it was exciting to see a quick, casual stop for Asian "finger food" (for a lack of better word) within my vicinity. Joju specializes in modern Vietnamese cuisine, serving meals like bahn mi, loaded fries, and rice meals. The menu recently added soy garlic wings, and since I am a fiend for Asian-style fried chicken, I of course had to have it. While all of the beverages looked tempting, especially their non-alcoholic soju refreshers, I needed caffeine to offset the afternoon slump that was about to follow, so I ordered a Vietnamese coffee. The wings were huge! It was notably crunchy, saucy, and juicy. There was a decent skin to meat ratio, (I so hate biting into a mouthful of breading), and the meal came out piping hot. It was clear the chicken had been fried per order. Those who know me know that I can't live without rice and would eat it with almost any meal, including fried chicken, so I did request it on the side, although the wings don't come with it. The man who took my order did me a solid and served it with mine, anyway. Good lad! I've been wanting to try Vietnamese coffee for a while now, and it was everything I imagined it would be. Sweet with a bitter backend - but not too bitter! I'm still new to coffee, and I pucker up at anything too intense. This was just right. My meal at Joju satisfied me, mind, body, and soul. I hope it is here to stay, and I hope that a shop like this is a catalyst for other quick Asian food stops to follow. Korean and Filipino restaurants - I'll be waiting!

Stopped by Lyly during lunch hour on a weekend and it got pretty busy! We ordered the shrimp rolls…read morewhich had 3 fried shrimps and I got the pho, which I asked if everything can be cooked especially the bean sprouts and it came completely cooked, which I was glad. I was so craving pho and Lyly really hit the spot for me. No wonder this place gets packed even on a random weekday lunch! Only thing is they only serve 1 menu entire day. The dinner menu IS the lunch menu. And there are no lunch specials. Which may deter some people. However the prices are not unreasonable at all. Even for lunch. Overall highly recommend !

I loved the cosy, small intimate vibes of this place. But I didn't feel like the tables were too…read moretightly packed together, which I very much appreciated. The decor is super quaint and definitely had that no frills vibe, letting the food be the star of the show -- no distractions. We started with the papaya salad (a must), veggie spring rolls, and the shrimp rolls -- all so delicious. The fried food was not too greasy, the papaya salad so fresh and crunchy. We all split the mains. If you don't get the crab noodles here, that's incorrect and you have to go back. I would go back here solely for this dish. The noodles were perfectly bouncy and the sauce coated everything perfectly, and the crab chunks were wonderful. I don't even remember the other dishes tbh. But I'll tell you about them -- branzino was a skip for me, curry was good but I prefer Thai or Japanese curry and this seemed like an in between. Then for dessert: Vietnamese flan. Like all flan, it's gonna be sweet as hell, but they do a nice job with the coffee flavour to help balance that out a bit.

I have been to another branch they have but this afternoon, I went to pick up a porcheta sandwich…read morewhich I always order from them. This time I added more olive oil on one side and heated the top cover part of the bread to make it crisp. This sandwich is big and has lots of vegetables in it as well. But this time I shared half of the sandwich and made my own salad at home. The place they have between Park Avenue and Madison had a sitting room in the back and a couple of tables outside with a cover on top. You will love their sandwiches and there is a line. It is definitely delicious. Very European style line as if I am in Italy.

I first found this place through TikTok, where people were hyping it up in Italy. I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.
