Chicken Shops near Cliffside Park, NJ

“I really wanted to love this place. This was my second visit, and while there are a lot of things they do well, there are still some areas that need improvement.

Food:
As a Korean, I thought the chicken itself was really good. It was crispy, and I liked that they offer so many sauce options. My favorites were the Sweet & Sour and Spicy Garlic. The Smoky K-BBQ, it was meh- it wasn’t sweet, spicy, or smoky enough and tasted pretty bland. The SOS Spicy was extremely spicy (Buldak-level), so keep that in mind if you’re sensitive to heat.

I’ve tried a lot of Korean fried chicken spots in NJ, and I’d honestly rank this as one of the better ones. My biggest complaint is the sauce application. The chicken wasn’t coated evenly, with a lot of bare spots, and they weren’t very generous with the sauce, so there wasn’t enough to coat the pieces that were left plain.

The Blooming Onion was tasty but a little too greasy.The dipping sauce was also meh. The Korean Corn Ribs were good, but the portion felt small for the price.

Service:
This has been the biggest issue on both of my visits. They gave me an estimated pickup time, and I arrived after that, but my order still wasn’t ready. I ended up waiting another 5+ minutes even though I was the only customer there.

I know it’s World Cup season and everyone wants to watch the games, but the cooks were watching soccer while cooking instead of focusing on the orders. It gave the impression that the kitchen wasn’t paying full attention.

Overall, this is a good spot with some really solid food, but it has plenty of room for improvement. I hope the manager sees this review because with a little more attention to consistency and service, this place could easily become one of the best Korean fried chicken spots in the area.“

“Great place, this place literally cured my cold with their sopa de pollo. Tried the beef strew today, also stellar. Only problem is they run out of food a lot..but I guess that's a good sign. :) Great food, highly recommended - at at the location on Broadway between 160 and 161.“

“The sliders are decent and large with a good varying amount of spice levels suited for anyone to enjoy. The hot mozz on the other hand, which is pretty viral, was a let down. It tastes really heavily like one of the red peppers, cayenne or paprika, and seems to just be known for a cheese pull.“

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

“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.“

“I never eat chicken breast because they are too dry, but I can say this is the best fried chicken I’ve eaten from a restaurant. Juicy not greasy I wasn’t tired after I ate the meal absolutely delicious!“

“we just stopped by the Wake Forest location! London was our cashier, and she was so friendly!!! she was smiling as soon as we walked in! Will definitely come back!“

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

“I love Bb.q chicken with all my heart. This is one of the best fried chicken places I ever tried. The chicken is ver juicy and fresh. I personally love the secret sauce bone- in wings but my friends like the honey garlic wings better. Give this place a try!!!“

“this place is amazing, bar is great and the karaoke is even better. Staff is super kind and understanding, they brought us popcorn and gave us extra time without asking, i highly recommend this place if you want to have a good time with friends. 5 stars.“

“Cozy and fun place to grab a quick chicken sandwich. Fries were good too. I will definitely go back because the menu is small and if every other item in there is as good as the chicken sandwich I am in for a treat.

The chicken was the right kind of crispy and the fries were perfect. The owner and staff ate very friendly and it is obvious to see that they put love in their work.“

“French fries are seasoned to greatness! Rice is nice and tangy! The chicken, ohh the chicken… It is fabulous, the chicken is spicy, sour, flavorful, and soft. It’s like curry with lemon and peppers and hot sauce on it. Fabulous. 10/10!!“

“My absolute go to! I’ve been coming here since they opened and I have yet to be disappointed. I crave their burgers daily at this point…. Lovely customer service as well — I’ve only had pleasant experiences! So glad this is in my neighborhood.“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“Naan was lightly buttered and crispy, perfect for accompanying the flavorful curry, highly recommended“

“First time I went the sandwiches were really good.

Got the tropical island chicken sandwich which was juicy, and their burgers are juicy too.

The strawberry milkshake was pretty good as well.

However second time I went the sandwich wasn't as good as the first time.

Still recommend, its a nice burger place in the area.“

“OMG. I wasn’t expecting the flavor explosion from this place. Even though they only serve one protein (guess), they knock it out of the park. The chicken, seasoning, and onion arrived at the table. Slipped a glove on and dug in! Ouch… it was so damn hot. After getting over that initial shock, the first piece went into my mouth… heaven! So then I expanded to try it with the seasoning… heaven-squared! As I continued devouring the chicken, my son pointed out, “try it with the onion as well.” Ok, that blew my mind… heaven-cubed! I am definitely coming back even with the crazy parking and the congestion pricing for out-of-towners.“

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

“I've had a lot of chicken sandwiches... some might say too many. Let me just say that Twinz has the absolute best chicken sandwich I've ever had.

Juicy, flavorful, spicy (to your preference), and beautifully textured chicken in every bite. Their sliders are mouth-watering good. I hope they never change their recipe or way they do business. Phenomenal. 10 out 10 food.“

“I spoke with the owner after an issue he was very professional, and this is my follow up.

He suggested the chicken tenders and it was very fresh, I also saw a couple order the fish and it was fried to order —it looked so good. Honestly I’m very grateful the owner was able to make it right. Will be coming back again!

The sauces are also really good, and they have my favorite bbq sauce on hand, try their special sauce!“

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

“I am on a low grain and sugar diet, so I order their chicken only in large size. Can pick 2 kinds of chicken - I ordered roasted and poached. Also comes with some cilantro & cucumber, 2 kinds of sauces, and dark soy sauce.
Both types of the chicken are delicious! And large is a lot of chicken! I usually make a salad and top it with chicken and use the sauces as dressing. One dress is lime, and other is more herbal, both are the most delicious Thai style sauce you can find in NYC! 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.“

“Great spot with dilectable chicken etc and good drinks at a fair price but goddamn they need to put a few rugs down or something because it's probably the loudest restaurant I've ever been in and I'm not even that old. Disregard if you prefer to dine on an active jetway or at an artillery range but otherwise yeah bring your listening horn like Beethoven had or plan to communicate by passed note.“

“Only the best Chicken Shop in NYC 🥰“

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

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

“One of the best places to get delicious Puerto Rican food!“

“Surprised to find decent Xinjiang food in Manhattan.

Ding ding fried noodles were quite authentic, just a bit salty. Lamb pilaf wasn’t greasy, which I liked. Lamb skewers were tender and not gamey.

Service was okay but a bit inexperienced — had to remind for water.

Overall, good food, service could be better.“

“We’ve been obsessed with this place for the past couple months, the food is amazing I highly recommend it! The salito fries, cheesesteak and the mixed platters are my forever go to! If you’re ever close to this place please check it out!! ❤️“

“I got chicken over rice for $12 hands down best deal I’ve had in all of NYC as a foodie. It was my first time experiencing halal food so I asked bunch of questions to the guys at the line and they were very chill; they described all the toppings that I pointed to and gave me a GENEROUS PORTION. Chicken was well seasoned and tender, rice was also seasoned and chickpeas and hummus were decently fresh; everything tasted good even on the next day. This fed me for easily two days! It was truly amazing that I can get chicken,rice,fries(shocking for me) and veggie of choice for only $12 was so impressive. I’m definitely going back.“

“Honest review- during my sit down at restaurant the owners and guy at register were kind people -that always goes a long way!
Food: fresh, nicely battered chicken it didn’t seem that the oil was sitting there all day- super fresh not too salty or heavy meal. I also ordered no salt on fries -that was accommodated for. Best fried kitchen that I’ve tried in the Ny/NJ area and I like the Korean twist with the sauces you can ask them to put on side. This is the type of business that local community should support given the way they are not trying to overdo it n keep it tasty at same time.
I happened to be passing thru town and saw the reviews- it’s worthy to become a restaurant chain/franchise. And it’s good prices there is no reason not to try this place especially if you’re close by. Best of luck to your business!“

“Love this place! The owner is super cool and the food is delicious! 10/10 taste and customer service every single time!“

“Wow! This was incredible. A whole chicken and two generous sides for $70 is an amazing value, especially considering the quality. These are the kinds of places that make you want to cook at home less often. If I lived in New York, I’d easily be eating here a couple of times a week. I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back.“

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

“heard about this place on youtube for their special steamed thai hainanese chicken (small) for $6.50 in cash and it was SOO worth it. i substituted the ginger rice for regular white rice since i got scared the ginger might super prominent but heard it’s a good taste so will definitely try it when i visit new york again! the only thing i wished was definitely maybe a little bit more portion of the chicken. (i enjoyed it a lot) there was more rice than chicken ratio which i didn’t mind too much, but 1-2 more pieces of chicken would’ve been perfect! the sauce was amazing too :D

my friends and family ordered the fried chicken— they all quite enjoyed it and said the batter of the chicken was delicious!

if you’re ever looking for something cheap and a place that isn’t TOO busy if you catch it at the right time then for sure come to this one. small business too! please support! 🤍“

“I've eaten at many Korean fried chicken places across Bergen County over the years, and this was hands down the best. The flavor was incredibly authentic and reminded me of the original Korean-style chicken I grew up with. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and every bite was packed with flavor.

After trying so many places, I can confidently say I've finally found my go-to chicken spot. This is where I'll be coming from now on. Highly recommended for anyone looking for truly authentic Korean fried chicken!“

“late review but great vibes all around! I stopped in to grab some food and watch the second-to-last Knicks game on my phone, and the atmosphere was awesome. The night crew was friendly, the food came out fresh, and everything was on point.

The manager had amazing energy and was a huge Spurs fan, even though they ended up losing that night 😂.

Food was a solid 10/10, service was great, and the team made it a fun place to be. Keep up the great work. I’ll definitely be back! 🙌🔥🍗“

“Amazing meals at reasonable prices.“

“Seating is limited, get there early.
Got the chicken sandwich. Chicken was tender and very good. Wish I'd gotten the spicier sauce; the sweetness of the plantains would have paired excellently with a stronger kick. Also got the squash soup, which was good; but was too full from the sandwich to eat very much. Sandwich is very filling, so keep that in mind when ordering.“

“the waffles 🧇 were delicious and the toppings were a added pleasure service was friendly and the place was clean I suggest everyone to add it to their bucket list You will be hooked !!!!“

“Fries were great. Chicken was superb. Super crispy (though leaned on the dryer side). Top bun was toasted to perfection, but the bottom could do with a bit more. All were not big enough deals to affect my delicious meal. My one major qualm was the pickles. Why sweet pickles? I have never met anyone who sits down and craves sweet pickles over yummy, crisp, cold dill pickle. Minus one star for that.“

“They were short staffed but the owners were so cute and attentive as possible. We had a larger group and ordered several items which were all delicious. The flavors weren’t extremely different from each other, even the spiciest wasn’t that spicy but the crispy outer layer of the chicken was perfect along with the tiny hint of spice. My personal fav was the galbi kimbab. Please support this local business! They even let us turn on the tv to play the Knicks game. What more can you ask for?“

“The roasted chicken bowl was tasty, the rice had a good flavor too. The chili lime fries had a wonderful flavor and were nice and crunchy.“

“convenient, flavorful, quick, easy“

“Every time I come here they take my order in less than 20 seconds and somehow it comes out in less than 20 seconds like as soon as I get to the front of the line my order is done like its absolutely incredible and the workers here are really nice :)“

“Peppa is open for takeout, clean food awesome“

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

“Delicious! Dine in was awesome!“
