I had come and ordered takeout from here a few times... and tonight's experience was unlike any other. It was my first time doing karaoke and I honestly don't know that I would do it again. We booked a karaoke room for an hour for 6 people on a Thursday evening, and while the singing was fun, the service was below subpar. When we arrived, we did not have a full menu available to us in the room, so it took a few mins to get our order in. Our server kept close tabs of every minute in karaoke, but not the food. It took over 60 minutes to get our wings! Apparently there was some sort of mix up in the kitchen & while we were understanding, what threw us for a loop was that even though our wings were DELAYED, our server was hesitant to offer complimentary time in our karaoke room while we waited. Right at the 60-minute mark, he was quick to offer two options - our wings to go or a table in the dining room. In the end, we had to negotiate an extra hour in the karaoke room since our food took SO long to come out. When paying the check, we were surprised to see a charge for food we never ever received! I'm super disappointed that they tried to take advantage of us, when we were very understanding of their mix up. In my opinion, servers could use a lesson or two in customer service. Never in my time in hospitality, have I ever behaved in the way they did. read more

Visited this spot for the first time and frankly it's a decent location, as NJ doesn't have a lot of Korean Fried Chicken spots. I dared to try the cauliflower wings (half & half), which actually wasn't bad. Both flavors was good, although I personally like the spicy better (just make sure you can handle it, although it won't be too bad if you're used to spicy food). Garlic fried rice was okay, but not the best. Also seems like they don't give you a side of pickled radish at this point, but maybe that's because we're in Jersey. Also the kimchi fries weren't what I expected. What the fries were crispy and tasty, they just give you a tiny cup of kimchi cheese sauce. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I expected the fries to be way more loaded. I ordered for pickup and it did take a lot longer than expected. I also felt sorry for the hostess, who was running around trying to help. There also was 5 people just standing around chatting, but the music was just a tad too loud to hear anyone trying to get their attention. I'm sure dining in would be a chill vibe, but can still have that and have it all together yk? Last thing is I definitely asked for bacon mustard sauce and heard them confirm over the phone, a bit annoyed they forgot that! read more

We have been coming to Roosterspin for years now - probably our favorite spot in Westfield. We all shared the honey butter rice balls, bibimbap, japchae, and regular size of the soy garlic wings. We have been coming here for a while and always get the honey butter rice balls without fail. The crunch on the outside and chewy texture on the inside is perfect and we love the sweet taste. I would pass on the bibimbap next time, it was kind of bland and the crispy rice was burnt instead of golden. The japchae was the star of the meal. So much flavor, perfect cook of the noodles, and thin beef. If I wasn't sharing dishes, I would get this all for myself. Lastly, we got the regular size of soy garlic chicken, which was 12 pieces because they were out of the big drumsticks. The crunch was great with perfectly cooked chicken on the inside. I don't like that they charge extra for sauce but honestly this meal was such a bargain. A meal for 4 under $100 at a nice restaurant is rare. The service was fine, refilled our water on time but our waiter could've been more attentive overall. Ambiance is always great with a retro vibe and cool lighting. read more

I have been coming to Roosterspin over the past several years. Have been turned away in the past on a Saturday for party of two because we didn't have reservations! Made reservations for party of 4. Always get the mango salad It's lightly dressed- always ask for extra dressing on the side. Charged $3 for extra dressing :( Dressing is amazing though. Enjoyed my honey butter rice balls Dynamite shrimp And hamburger sliders. Daughter really enjoyed the chicken sandwich with fries Had to ask for ketchup 2 of us got our entrees And the other 2 had to wait a bit to get their entrees. Serve wine. Love the music selection! Our server Kelly. Parking on site adhere to meter details. read more

I like the spicy original chicken wings. I thought they were tasty with a little kick. The non spicy ones didn't do anything for me but that's just a personal preference seeing as how I like spicy food. The chicken had a nice crisp to it which was nice. The other two dishes we ordered were just mediocre. Needed more spice and flavor. It was a bit on the bland side. The service was friendly and attentive the first half of the meal by the time the second half came our serve was no where to be found. We were the only table at the restaurant at this time and our server was busy chatting with a customer who came in either to sit at the "bar" area or was waiting for take out. I don't live in the area so I won't be back but If I did live in the area I might give it another chance if I run out of other options. read more

We went to Westfield the other day to walk around and window shop but then decided to grab a cold drink or cocktail because it was so hot outside and I happened to find this place on Yelp. I loved the whole vibe of this place upon entering and the bartender/server was very soft spoken and friendly. We sat down at a table and ordered a half bottle of chilled Sauvignon Blanc and it tasted splendid and was perfect for cooling off from the high temperatures outside. I wish we would have been hungry on the day we went though because the menu had some great options and their food looks great. We will be back soon to try more drinks and your food, don't worry! Thanks :) read more

On Christmas Eve, my family and I checked out Roosterspin in Westfield, NJ. We booked a jazz room for karaoke. There was a minimum spend for our group. They allowed us to substitute their food package for drinks and desserts. We enjoyed singing Christmas and New York themed songs, sipping on Winter Spiced Sangria, and snacking on Mochi Ice Cream and a slice of Chocolate Cake. read more

Love the vibes here. Came at an 4pm which is an odd hour to eat so we got the whole place to ourselves. We tried the bulgogi sliders. I thought this was well done but could be more juicy. The flavor was there and pairs well with the red pickled onion. 4/5 The kimchi fries I recommend you pass. Actually pass if you're expecting actual kimchi on the kimchi fries like other places. This was just regular seasoned fries and sauce on the side. But if you're expecting just regular fries this is good. 3/5 Double fried chicken- like any other Korean fried chicken but boy were those drumstick massive. It came pipping hot so it was perfect. I did half and half. Normally I like the original soy more but I think the spicy was a tad better here than their original. 4/5 Lastly had the spicy Tuna roll. Gotta love the sauce on top. Can't go wrong with the one! I recommend. 5/5 I actually wanted to try the ramen taco but as of this review it is out of rotation so they don't have it on the menu. read more

This will easily become a go-to spot. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcome. The place is a little cozy, but that is a good thing. The waitress we had was amazing I wish I could remember her name to shout her out. Now the food. The dynamite shrimp is f...ING amazing. Crunchy on the outside and melt in your mouth soft in the middle. We ordered the vegetarian rice because my wife doesn't like scallops and calamari, but it was still great enough that I ate it. The wings.... omg, the wings. Although I would have liked a bit more spicy, the wings are perfect. Great sauce, amazing crunch, and tenderness of the meat are beyond great. read more

This is a fun little place and a fun part of town. We tried several things, including the chicken wings the fries with kimchi one of the sushi rolls and some rice noodle dish. All of it was very good. The French fries with kimchi sauce were actually just french fries with a little bowl of kimchi type sauce. I was expecting it to be maybe over the fries, but it was actually very good that way. Definitely an interesting place and worth a try. read more

it was alright. the wait took literally 35-40 minutes for our food to come out. for it to be MID. the crunch was fine but not to die for. very gentrified menu, waited all that time waited for food that did not impress and did not FILL us either. Pricey, not big portions, taste wasn't up to par. Wouldn't return read more

A relatively unique menu and atmosphere that's definitely a "vibe", as the kids say, make Roosterspin stand out from others you may consider for a trendy meal. I had the double cooked fried chicken (drumstick only option) and...it was perfect. Really some of the best (if non-traditional) fried chicken I've ever had (I'm 41 y/o to give you an idea). I opted for the non-spicy version. The outside was crispy and the meat was flawlessly cooked, juicy without any pink. The sauce was present but far from overwhelming, more like a glaze, with subtle, complex flavor the sophisticated palate will appreciate while remaining accessible to the crowd. Service was good but the place was empty when we went so how it's like during rush I wouldn't know. The place was well staffed though. Prices brought fair to good value for what's offered depending on what you order. If you eschew animals or are plant-only then beware there's a dearth of options for you. There's a few but you'll order salad and scallion cake and you'll like it. Even if they want to be meat-forward it would be nice to warn prospective diners of the limited choices. The only real negative was the lack of a liquor license. Beer/wine were served (the Sangria pitcher was fantastic). I'd take off only 1/2 star for this if I could because it may not be their fault they can run a liquor license. If you like fried chicken, just go. read more

First of all, not kids friendly. The menu and ambience are both great for besties hang out or date night. I personally do not recommend for family gatherings, especially with kids. Hard to find things that is either not too spicy or just simply enough for kids. Food and drinks are average, I think they are going for the Korean Fusion vibes. I love Korean foos, but this place does not convince me to return. read more

Came here COMPLETELY at random. We decided to leave for dinner with absolutely no destination in mind, only an area where we would look. Found somewhere to try, but when we parked we saw this place tucked in the corner. Walked in and loved the decor & the vibe. Medium sized venue, that has that hidden gem feel. Dim mood lighting, smooth music, & friendly staff. They also have Karaoke rooms in the back. I went back there & took a look since they weren't in use. We ordered the Half & Half Wings (1/2 Soy Garlic, 1/2 Spicy Soy Garlic), Snowcorn Roll, & Bulgogi Sliders. Everything was excellent. Glad we didn't waste our random outing. Such a great choice & a new go-to spot. Grades: Wings: A+ Snowcorn Roll: A+ Bulgogi Sliders: A read more

Super solid Korean food option in the area. It's my go to whenever I am craving dolsot Bibimbap and Korean fried chicken. I've been here four times and have order those dishes each time :). Definitely be forewarned that the spicy fried chicken is very very spicy, definitely not for the faint of heart. Meanwhile, the dolsot Bibimbap is the best you will get in this area, so delicious!! My other go to item here is the sangria, where you can bring a bottle of wine and they will make the sangria for you. Doesn't matter if it's the cheapest bottle you have, they will make it delicious. The space is beautiful, love the glass bottles and well decorated. Service is always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend read more

Why has NJ been sleeping on Roosterspin? Literally some of the best wings I've ever had in NJ, maybe even East Coast!! I stand my ground. It's off the beaten path but it is so worth it! Everything I ordered were knockout dishes -- kale salad (omg), the scallion pancakes (done perfectly), and the miso ramen was sooooo full of depth and flavor. I can't wait to go back for those wings though! Wings are not pictured because I was too busy devouring them. Phone did not eat first. read more

Long wait for our reservation and when we finally got seated we had a long wait for a server. Had to ask for menus and then long wait for dinner' . Flavorful food was the only saving grace yet everyone's entree came out at various times and some appetizers came out with entrees one person didn't get entree until everyone was finished eating . Don't know if it's poor kitchen timing versus inadequate service, but timeliness was not in our favor for anything tonight. Food is very colorful and beautifully plated with amazing flavors. Just wish they could get their act together for service. read more

Came here on a weekday for lunch and had the restaurant to ourselves. The Sliders 10/10: delicious! Beef was high quality and fresh. The pickled onions gave it a nice layer of flavor Steak Fries 9/10: so good, so hot and very very thick! Dynamite shrimp 7/10: had a nice kick and texture to it but could have used a little more sauce on it. Chicken sandwich 5/10: wasn't a fan of the sandwich as much. Too crunchy that the breading was hard Snowcorn Roll 5/10: way too much rice, throws off the balance of the roll. Plus the rice is a little damp. I'm guessing with oil to make it sticky but it definitely throws off the roll as a whole. read more

10/10 a million times over ! First time here, and I'm so happy with the food, the service, and the atmosphere here. The sushi - DELICIOUS, the fried chicken - finger licking good (we got it in soy garlic sauce), and the garlic fried rice - yummy all on its own (no need for extra soy or anything). Our servers name was Alejandro - such a nice young man. Definitely coming back ! read more

Every time we return to Rooster Spin, it feels like coming home and that's largely thanks to Alejandro. Over the years, we've moved in and out of New Jersey, but no matter how much time has passed, Alejandro always greets us like we never left. On our most recent visit, not only did he remember us, he asked about our move and made us feel genuinely welcomed back. It wasn't just good service it was human, warm, and heartfelt. He even invited us to a special event at the restaurant, making us feel like part of the Rooster Spin family. That kind of attention and care is rare, and it's exactly why Rooster Spin will always be a must-visit for us whenever we're back in the area. Also, let's talk about those crispy wings I mean, come on. Absolute perfection. Crunchy, flavorful, addictive. If you haven't had them yet, you're seriously missing out. Shoutout to Alejandro for being the kind of person who makes a place unforgettable. Rooster Spin is lucky to have him. read more

Definitely NOT A KOREAN CHICKEN PLACE. If you come expecting Korean chicken, you WILL be disappointed. The only reason this place gets two stars is because our waitress, despite her super off putting 2 inch nails that threatened to contaminate our food with god knows whats underneath them, was incredibly kind. Chicken double fried has an awesome texture but the flavor is not there. It is bland on the inside so we asked for extra sauce to which we were offered ketchup, spicy mayo, or bacon something or another for a dollar. Paid 5 dollars for pickled radish which was NOT AT ALL Korean style, had some curry spice on it. All the food items, for a place that harps on having authentic Korean food, was not at all even Korema sounding, nothing tasted Korean, especially the chicken. I would not recommend. read more

Roosterspin - Large order of Spicy Soy Wings - Korean Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

In the heart of Westfield downtown and stone throw away from the train station, plenty of parking spaces. Came her midweek for dinner and were seated right away. Ordered cauliflower wings and Kimchi fries on the menu, both were crunchy and crispy with a hint of spice ( just the right amount ). Lots of other dishes like Ramen tacos, Loaded bowl and rolls stood out on the menu, but did not end up ordering. Portions are big, so be prepared to box some back. Overall fun place, nice decor and vibe. Makes a good hangout with friends. They also have a karaoke place at the back that can be reserved. read more

We went here for dinner to celebrate our son-in-law's birthday. We enjoyed their fried chicken Korean style. Crunchy, moist and delicious. The mango salad is deliciously and freshly made, taste great. The kimchi fries is out of this world! Sadly, on weeknight that we're there, they only have two servers, one is doing the bar orders, too. They serve mostly non-alcoholic drinks. Only wine and sangria are being serve with alcohol content. This place is good for romantic evening dine-in. It's clean and inside decor is outstanding. Lots of parking space after 6 pm. It's next to the Westfield Train Station. Servers are friendly and helpful. We're coming back for sure. read more

I thought the food was decent! The fried chicken was double fried and very tasty! I like spicy food and the spicy soy garlic sauce lived up to it!

The rice is specifically a seafood rice and it is so well seasoned I could go on and on. If your in the area I 100% recommend visiting read more

Originally found this spot while searching for ramen. Made the reservation when I saw how good the fried chicken looked. This place was kinda hard to find initially, being in the train station parking lot at the end of a row of buildings. The fried chicken is Perfect. Large order came with big pieces and crunchy skin. We ordered half sweat half spicy which was smart in hindsight since the spicy ones were really hot. The ramen was just alright. The pork strips made it edible, but it overall kinda tasted too fishy for me. Maybe due to the fish cakes. One thing I wish I knew prior to arriving was that alcohol was only byob. They have mocktails to order, but being virgin drinks they seem overpriced being charged as normal cocktails. All the food we ordered was good, but the twice fried chicken is truly what would bring me back. read more

Amazing Korean fusion restaurant in New Jersey! Stop by for fried chicken or twists on Korean classics. My friends and I started with the Kimchi Fries, then the Mango Salad, and lastly the Chicken and Waffle. Everything was very freshly made and crispy! The fries were well-seasoned and the kimchi sauce was nicely tart and salty. The mango salad was well balanced with many different textures, though we wished the mango was a bit more ripened/soft. Finally, the chicken was deliciously crispy and not super oily! However, the rice waffle wasn't my favorite texture, a bit too chewy and sweet for me. Overall, we had a great experience here at Roosterspin! The service was extremely kind and quick. The portion sizes were large too, though prices were a bit high. Would definitely reserve ahead of time if dining at peak hours since there is very limited seating. My friend has also had great experiences with the party karaoke packages in the past- be sure to try! read more

Roosterspin is a hip restaurant in westfield. It is almost always super packed, and they have a back with rooms to do karoke. I have been here a few times and really enjoyed the experience.

Just went to Roosterspin on Sunday before the storm, nice quiet place and great vibes. Food: I ordered the new Spicy Soy Garlic chicken sandwich with cilantro-jalapeño slaw.
