    3 piece tenders, fries, and variety of sauces ($1-$1.5 each).
    Jillian B.

    Would place closer to 4.5, but rounding up! My husband and I chose to share some tenders and fries, and since it was our first time, we ordered a variety of sauces as well. My favorite sauce was the white BBQ, followed closely by the Truffle cheese. Husband's favorite was combining the Harlem heat and bleu cheese. Tenders were breaded perfectly and had a fantastic crunch while still moist. Fries... who doesn't love a good waffle fry? Definitely more a takeout joint - there's 2 booths and a few counter seats, and we saw quite a few pickup orders while we munched. Would recommend!

    Tried Tender Crush for the first time, via delivery. You can get chicken tenders that are fried or grilled, or crispy chicken sandwiches. There's a variety of spicy and non-spicy dipping sauces to choose from. I chose the 32nd St BBQ, which came with 3 fried tenders lightly coated with a Korean BBQ sauce, sesame seeds, scallions, and cilantro, with a lime wedge and buttermilk dill dipping sauce on the side. The outside of the tenders was crispy and not greasy; the inside was tender and juicy. They were delicious and I liked that the tenders were not skimpy in size. I got a small order of the Tribeca Truffle Mac, which came with breadcrumbs on the side for you to sprinkle on top (tasted like smashed Ritz crackers, they were so nice and buttery). I enjoyed how the American and cheddar cheese went with the black truffle flavor, and the breadcrumbs provided nice texture. The Mac had the small shell-shaped pasta which were nicely coated in the cheese sauce. I also got a small order of the Chinatown Broccolini (tried to make it healthier by getting my veggies in). It came with slivers of garlic, bird pepper sauce, scallions, ginger, soy, and cilantro. The broccolini looked spicy with all the bits of red bird pepper clinging to it, and it was spicy but tasty. I would would recommend this spot if you have a hankering for chicken tenders or sandwiches.

    Delicious, flavorful, juicy tenders! Take it from a big chicken tender fan, these are awesome! We got the chicken tenders and truffle Mac to go and traveled 20 minutes with it and it held up great! Still warm, didn't dry out at all and the mac and cheese held up well too! The sauces were delicious and creative. Can't wait to try it again.

    My family and I were visiting New York and prior to our trip I saw JaRule post this place and decided to give it a try. My son is a chicken tender head so I knew he would enjoy it. The young lady who took our order and the owner were very nice and welcoming. We ordered a bunch of food and their signature slush drink ( alcohol slushies) everything was fresh and delicious. The owner expressed the great lengths he goes through to make sure the food is fresh and prepared to the customers liking. I appreciated that. We were given samples of the slushies so we can decide which one we wanted. There was strawberry margarita one and another they named the Amber Rose. The Amber rose was good and strong. The place is small however there are a few tables to sit and enjoy your good if you're not on the go. Definitely would go again when visiting New york

    I had a day yesterday. Spent the morning with my mother and then my doctor appointment and then it was time to treat me. My knee was killing me but it didn't stop me from making it to this place. And I'm so glad I did. Everything was good. I loved my drink it was a perfect mix Frozen Honeycomb featuring Amber & Opal Honey Botanical Whiskey.and I can really see me buying it and secondly those crispy chicken didn't have to be so damn good lol. I wanted to take some.home.but it would not have made it. I cannot ot wait to go back and bring my broke best friend and get something else on the menu. I had a good day bum knee and all.

    STATEN ISLAND CRUNCH SANDWICH $10
    Lauren L.

    Small fried chicken shop that specializes in all things chicken. They have straight chicken tenders, and also chicken sandwiches. I went for the Staten Island chicken sandwich, which was about $10 which I thought wasn't too bad. It was a pretty small size, but it was tasty and had good flavor. The only option when you walk in is to order it at the kiosk in the front. Our food though took a good 20 minutes for it to come out since I think there was only one person working in the back overall not bad for the price.

    To Start Off The Interior Is Heavily Inspired By NYC. From The Menu Options To The Decor. It's Vibrant And The Whole Restaurant Is On Theme. All The Chicken Is Freshly Cut And Fried. The Tender Dogs, Chicken Sandwiches, Truffle Mac & Cheese, And Peach Coconut Slushie Are Must Try Items. Plus They Have A Variety Of Sauces. Thank You To Matt For Helping Me Out. Service Was A Really Good. This Is A Spot To Check Out In Soho.

    We are from the Midwest and my family wanted some chicken! This place was so perfect. Crispy the way it should be and the sauces were amazing.

    Best Tenders in NYC , hands down !! Love the sauces and the whole concept. They live up their sister location Black Tap. Tenders were very juicy and fried just right. Loved the sauces , favorite was still the Blue Cheese and Sweet Chili in my opinion. Definitely try the Coconut Mango and their Black and White Soft Serve. Service - 10/10 Ambiance- Dope Parking - Street

    The space is small but that's NYC. I had 3 chicken tenders with BBQ sauce and honey mustard and the ice cream tender with strawberry sauce. It was so good! Would def go back again!

    This is the new chicken spot from the Black Tap team, that is as good as Black Tap was when Black Tap first opened, so definitely go now for some great chicken tenders. The fries and sandwiches are excellent too, so this is a perfect place for a quick meal of higher quality fried chicken.

    Hot Crush Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Revanth R.

    Spicy chicken sandwiches with an extra twist. Food: - Hot Crush Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Excellent. Toasted bun, crispy and moist chicken patty, crunchy toppings, and spicy sauce. Flavors and textures work really well together. Spice level is just enough without being overbearing. - Harlem Hot tenders - Good. The tenders were crispy and plenty of sauce added on top, but this probably wasn't the right flavor choice for me. Service: Great. They have two digital ordering machines that were easy to place the order and food was ready in about 10min minutes. The togo bag they give is high quality tote style with their logo on it. Ambiance/Vibe: Great. Relatively small place. There was limited table seating and some bar seating on the side. Highly recommend eating the food right away while hot since crispy chicken doesn't taste the same after it cools down. Cost/Value: Great. $10 for a chicken sandwich is excellent value for the flavor and quality. $12 for tenders seems a bit expensive and wasn't as filling as the sandwich. Visit again? Definitely. Easily one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches I've had.

I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

I surprisingly enjoyed Pineapple Thai Basil, which had the classic fruity flavor, but also a freshness from the basil, which was pleasant. You can sample as many flavors as you want. Not that many indoor seating options, but you're not too far from Herald Sq to grab an outdoor seat. Perfect post-dinner dessert spot if you're in the area!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
