“I went to Dave’s hot chicken I ordered my food didn’t look at it until I got home and got someone else order but I wouldn’t go back because it was a 30 minute drive was upset bout not getting what I paid for.“

“The workers were incredibly friendly. Great personalities. The place is very clean. And the food was very good. Flavorful chicken. The sides are a lot of fried foods too, but those were still very good. Nothing felt overly seasoned either, so you can enjoy eat thing you get without what you ate before overpowering your taste buds.“

“Dave’s Hot Chicken is a great place if you love spicy food. The Reaper hot burger is insanely hot but full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The chicken is juicy, crispy, and fresh every time. Portions are good and the taste really stands out. Not for the faint-hearted, but a must-try for anyone who enjoys serious heat and bold flavours.“

“Went to this location to get my Korean fried chicken and cheese balls yesterday everything was so good! The chicken was super crispy and flavorful, and the cheese balls were perfectly gooey inside. The staff were friendly too, and the service was quick. Definitely coming back again!“

“Foods and drinks are delish😋 Great ambiance and service!“

“This is hands down the best chicken in the area! The breading and crispiness were absolutely perfect—light, crunchy, and not greasy at all. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the sauces were completely on point—each one complemented the chicken beautifully

What really makes this place stand out is the owner’s incredible hospitality and customer service. You can tell they truly care about their customers—friendly, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. It feels like you’re being treated as a valued guest, not just another order

If you’re looking for amazing chicken and a warm, customer-focused experience, this spot is unbeatable. Highly recommend!“

“Came with 5 people including myself and the room was extremely spacious. They have English and Japanese songs too if you don't know Korean songs (so no one is left out). They also have a phone in the room where you can place orders and they bring everything in a timely manner.“

“I tried their boneless heaven and it was so crispy outside and juicy inside. You get to pick different flavors and my favorite was soy garlic and sweet & spicy. Every bite was so delicious and I would rank this place #1 in bergen county. You really gotta try their wasabi coleslaw! It’s so addictive. Foods were great and staffs were friendly. I highly recommend this place and will definitely coming back for sure!!“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“TLDR: fried chicken here is awesome, I prefer the salted egg yolk but all of it is good

I got the two legs of chicken with salted egg yolk and I got to enjoy the salted egg yolk flavor on fried chicken with very crispy skin and juicy meat. I do miss the size of the brooklyn location but the food still hit the spot“

“In todays economy, 15 bucks for half of a delicious roasted chicken, a side and a drink kind of feels like a steal. Fast and good service and very much appreciate the gloves they give you. The chicken is literally fall of the bone good. Highly recommend!“

“Halal Chicks is hands down one of the best spots around! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite hits the spot — from the juicy chicken to the perfectly seasoned rice and sauces that bring everything together.

The employees make the experience even better. They’re always friendly, respectful, and go out of their way to make sure your order is exactly how you want it. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their work.

The service is fast, the portions are generous, and the whole place has a positive, welcoming vibe. Whether you’re grabbing lunch or stopping by late at night, Halal Chicks never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“The chicken here is out of this world! Even if you order using delivery services, it is worth every penny. The chicken is perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. The sliders are large, so one combo was like two meals. This is my new favorite restaurant!“

“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“A friend recommended this place and we decided to try them out for my fathers birthday. We ordered their fried chicken spicy and regular, coleslaw, Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes. Everything was fresh. The chicken was seasoned to perfection and was very juicy. Customer service was incredible they even called me hours later to make sure the food met our standards. Highly recommend!“

“Nice chill atmosphere serving Khao Mun Gai, steamed or fried. Classic style with soup on the side. Super nice staff who know the cuisine. Fast service.“

“Món nào cũng ngon , sẽ quay lại tiệm .“

“Royal Chicken was amazing! The chicken was great, super flavorful and perfectly cooked. We took it to go for a party and it was the first thing that was gone. The guy at the front was amazing as well, very friendly and helpful. Definitely ordering again!“

“The Best place!! The best meatS and seafood“

“Wow so so good. I wish I took a photo. I got the stir fry noodles but am excited to try more. Way better than a lot of other noodle options near by. I love the relaxed, hands off approach Asian restaurants have unlike that review from Jeff below.“

“Good pit stop to have while venturing around nyc.. plus it’s hormone and antibiotic free!“

“you think your grandma is in the kitchen. you really won't believe hiw good all the food is.“

“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“Dropped in for just a snack and got the Crab Rangoons which for some reason I feel are so hard to come by in nyc. These were great! The filling was smooth and had nice flavor, and the dough was very very crispy which is what makes or breaks a rangoon for me so I was happy about that. My only gripe was that the amount of sauce was sooo small and definitely not enough!

Also had a Thai Tea which was not too dense and rich, it was more of a refreshing and lighter, yet still creamy thai tea which was exactly what I needed in the moment so it hit so well.“

“Amazing food and especially amazing service. Perfect spot for a late night get-together with friends to grab a very enjoyable bite. If you’re lucky, you’ll get yourself caught up in an honest, heart to heart conversation with some of the nicest workers you’ll meet.“

“I’ve been to many Thai restaurants around the world 🌍 , in New York 🗽and also in Bangkok 🇹🇭 and the KHAO MAN GAI , the classic poached chicken is a very much a THAI dish as Singaporean 🇸🇬 dish as it comes from the East. There are many street food places in Bangkok 🇹🇭that specialize in KHAO MAN GAI and its considered a traditional Thai 🇹🇭 food. To find an excellent poached chicken in Bangkok 🇹🇭it’s a mission so to find one , in the east village is a beautiful and tasty surprise. I had the KHAO MAN GAI - poached chicken 🍗 and the Gai Yang- grilled chicken 🍗. The chicken was tender and juicy , was cooked perfectly and it’s the same for the grilled and the poached, the sauce was spicy 🌶️ and reminded me the streets of Bangkok 🇹🇭the rice and the soup as well were rich, perfect balanced and delicious. The restaurant stands tall on delivering the promise of her name. Authentic Thai 🇹🇭 food. The place is small and warm , simple , the staff is welcoming and friendly, and the reasonable price ( 18$ for the set ) makes it A MUST in New York today. Come as you are and fast 🇹🇭🇹🇭“

“So I’ve always heard about Dave’s but never been till today, first off the service I received was beyond exceptional Dylan M took my order not only did he service with a smile he took time to figure out what I like and suggested what I should get and he was right it did not disappoint I also received my order from Angel H who also provided me and my friend service with a smile he told us how to mix are sauce for the best flavor. I truly appreciate top notch service with a smile it’s very rare now a days, the service alone will have me coming back again!!!!!“

“Amazing meals at reasonable prices.“

“Food is good. Especially if you love chicken tenders. But you definitely need the sauce to make complete. Unfortunately service was bad. I hate to say it. No please, thank you and any type of politeness when taking an order or giving your meal. Unfortunately every employee was chatting with another co worker. Food took a very long time to come out. Sadly won't be coming back to Astor. I hope it improves on customer service.“

“Ever since the new owners took over, this place has really stepped up! The store is spotless, the BBQ chicken is crispy and fresh, and the lady at the front desk is always so friendly. You can taste and feel the positive changes — definitely the best spot if you’re craving fried chicken!“

“For a place in the middle of a block, it just shines through the chicken was absolutely tender fell off the bone season properly. Had a salad with it. That is an artist beautiful put together did take out which was very fast. The rice beautiful the beans were kidney beans and prepared beautifully. You mix the rice and the beans together and use your spoon and you have a wonderful dish. a chicken is spectacular. Got the Kona cola which is delightful and very hard to get goes very well with the meal. Definitely a must place for everybody to go to much better than the Supermarket chickens. Of course they have many other things on the menu and I’m sure that they were just as equally good come on by say hi and the way we go.“

“convenient, flavorful, quick, easy“

“I want to say this place was great in food, vibes, and coziness. This is a great definition of a mom and pop restaurant.

Firstly the food.
I had the bulgogi bento. The bulgogi looked, smelled, and tasted amazing. It had the normal bulgogi flavor with that nice hit of smokiness almost like wokhay from Chinese cooking. I loved each bite as the smokiness hit my mouth and nose. The sides of the bento was good too, the dumplings were nice and crunchy with a nice but just a tad bit bland filling, tho to be fair the filling is fairly standard for korean dumplings. The kimichi is what I prefer, which is the more freshly made kind. And the rice was cooked as I expected from a Korean restaurant, which is good. The salads were fine again its a salad, but it was nice that they added kale to the salad adding this bit of variety. The salad dressing was sweet and a bit tangy, mostly sweet which I do like since I have a sweet tooth.

The other bento was the shrimp tempura, I did get one of the shrimp tempura and it was good. The crunchy and breading was nice and you had the shrimp flavor that was still there.

Finally the tteokbokki. It was great. The rice cakes were chewy and soft and the fish cakes were soft and not mushy. The flavor of the sauce was great too, it had this nice umami to it and was the perfect level of spicy to enjoy.

The price for the food was also reasonable. Both bento costed roughly $18 each and the tteokbokki costed $12. They also had an interesting line up of drinks that was nice.

All this aside I want to also note how cozy and welcoming it felt. The lady that was serving us was very kind and caring. She even asked about how the addition of kale to the salad was because it was a new addition that they changed because people liked kale. I really liked that attention to detail. The store was medium sized with some odds and ends here and there but that added to the charm of the place.

I went on a Thursday during lunch time and it had a good amount of business via pick up but I was there alone with the person I was with dining in.

Overall as a Korean I think this place hits better then certain places in mind the food was good and the atmosphere was comforting.

I do regret not trying some of the other menu items I guess I have to return for some more.

For the sake of Google reviews I gave everything a 5. My personal score may be closer to a 4.4 which is high for my own personal score“

“Peppa is open for takeout, clean food awesome“

“The atmosphere and music at this location is awesome! The workers were really chill and nice too and gave me recommendations of what to get. Their sandwiches were delicious, I got the Nashville Hot and it was spicy and well cooked. Also their hush puppies are so good with their remoulade sauce. My friend got the wings and said they were tough though, so I would be cautious about ordering those.“

“I had one of biggest experiences in this Chik-fil-A. I lost my wallet and send message on instagram. The employee was so nice, found it. I live in Brazil, im in Flórida and i Will return tomorrow. They send me my wallet by UPS and offered to pay the value of transportation. Thank you for the person who found and for employees from Chick-fil-A! 10000 stars“

“Got this as takeout and was impressed. The chicken and corn were the stars of the show. One piece of feedback for the restaurant is that the salsa verde is labeled incorrectly on the menu. After trying the time I realized it’s not salsa verde, it’s Chimichurri.“

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“Very friendly staff and excellent food“

“Definitely one of the best roasted meat in I ate. Their beef with noodles are amazing. A must try if your in Chinatown NY.“

“There’s a reason Jollibee is known for having the best fried chicken in America — it’s perfectly crispy, juicy, and full of flavor every time. I even tried their new spicy chicken sandwich, and it was excellent as well. The food is always fresh, the service is friendly, and the experience is consistently great. Absolutely worth the stop.“

“Excellent food! This was some of the best delivery we've had in a long time. Definitely recommend the roasted chicken.“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“😃Great food, The chicken is delish“

“The guy working the counter seemed sooooo detached, uninterested. Not rude, just really detached. The chicken was delicious though, not dry, crispy, juicy, flavorful and the slaw, pickle and sauce completed it. I would like to go back if I lived closer.“

“Top 3 k fried chicken I’ve had in my life! Excited to try Sweetie’s after trying Peeps a few weeks ago. The wings were fried to perfection. Didn’t have that double fried (wet coat?) crunch like the heyday of BonChon about 20 years ago but it was a pleasant crunch nonetheless. I would say the crunch is close to what you would imagine Kentucky Fried Chicken’s would taste like based on the picture but unlike that KFC there is no disappointment! Sweetie’s has a nice combination of crunch that also crumbles softly.

My kid got the tteokbokki and it was a very decent sized portion for the price. Good flavor, they didn’t skimp on the sauce, and the rice cakes were not over/under cooked!

Theo rice bowls and jap chae both looked good but will have to wait till next time to actually taste them“

“My favorite chicken in New York City great spin on Indian Street food and the spice level can go off the chart on that big rowdy sandwich! What are you waiting for get your butt down here and have some of those delicious chicken!“
