Chicken Shops near Fort Lee, NJ

“A great Korean fusion bar in the neighborhood that's passionate about good food!
I had a buddy over from Michigan who did not mind the snow, so with wife, we went to eat through snow BLIZZARD to JJ Dak Sunday evening as they were open. Inside was chic and cozy as I expected, and we were led to a rather smallish dining room on the side of first floor. Center area was for the bar. I've wanted to try JJ Dak for a while now, so we ordered up w/ pleasant server who explained the menu for us.
I. ATMOSPHERE (4/5) - Great vibe! Dimly lit with thoughtful biergarten style decorations galore, it felt warm, cozy yet stylish. Good for dates & drinks with buddies.
II. FOOD (4/5)
Squid Fries ($14, APP, 5/5) - Hands down the best food of the visit. Fresh squid w/ full flavor in light seasoned batter with mouthwatering ponzu mayo dip. Say whaaat? Wonderful with beer. We wanted to order one more if not for entree coming!
Fried Oysters ($??, APP, 3/5) - It was a special item, but unfortunately this was nothing special. Shouldn't have ordered, as it was prob to get rid of fresh oysters getting old (not on the menu). It wasn't like not fresh or anything but taste was just okay.
Nuroongji Dak ($45, ENTREE, 4/5) - This famous dish didn't disappoint! They lit it on fire for a show & added flame taste, and the dish was sizzling hot. Flavor was pretty good, though some parts of chicken wasn't seasoned through. But they give you 3 dipping sauces (honey mustard was my favorite!) for that so that's OK. This dish really felt like a treasure hunt for the 3 of us as we kept poking around and finding different ingredients. I wished that there was still a unifying sauce of some kind as meat felt a bit dry at times and variety of ingredients kinda floating on their own a bit. Maybe a splash of soya-butter? Nonetheless, this was really enjoyable to eat - we loved the cauliflower and the burnt rice (which we diligently scraped off the pan) on the bottom.
III. SERVICE (5/5) - Very attentive, on a Sunday evening blizzard night! Later they did get busy (it's like we brought the town here cuz adventurous and half-crazy people kept showing up in pairs through the blizzard to eat in. Was a bit funny)

I'm a fan of this place - especially for a drink w/ buddies I can't think of a more deserving place to go to in town atm than JJ Dak! I'll be back to try many other interesting menu items in the near future!

Parking: Free lot is tiny. Street parking galore but paid. Nearby mall parking (of other businesses) but they may ticket you during busy hours.“

“I'm convenient because I can order accurately on the Internet. They text me the exact time to pick me up, so I don't waste my time, and I can taste the best because the food doesn't cool down

Parking: I have never had any inconvenience due to parking problem. It is always convenient.“

“The staff is extremely patient despite the large amounts of customers. The cashier and entire staff were polite and respectful. Very impressed. Kyle and Kenny were super helpful.“

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

“This was my first time trying Dave’s Hot Chicken, and it definitely did not disappoint! I had the Dave’s #2 with medium spice, which was absolutely perfect. I’ve never had a chicken sandwich this good—huge compliments to the chefs!

As a pickle fan, I really appreciated the extra pickles—such a great touch. If Dave’s were to expand to more countries in Europe, I have no doubt it would be a huge success.

The only downside was that the location felt a bit messy and unclean, but given that it was during rush hour and it's a fast-food spot, it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, a fantastic experience—highly recommended!“

“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!“

“Chicken and french toast brunch is amazing“

“It was soo amazing for my first time! The chicken was so crunchy and warm with the perfect amount of flavor. And the Tteobokki was also really good. I enjoyed itt. The employee was very kind and heart warming, like ur welcomed to the place. U get more than what u expect for the price, def worth it. Not to mention the foods are decorated so nicely and appetizing?“

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

“The place was wonderful, we had a great time. The only sale appetizer from US$15-US$20.. The drink was strong enough for me.. 2 hours karaoke minimum for group of 4 or more. You can use YouTube karaoke on iPad or the old version from 2000’s.“

“Delicious and juicy chicken at reasonable prices. You eat the chicken with your hands with gloves so I might not go there on a date, but it’s great with friends. It’s very small and there’s not many tables. Not sure if they take reservations.“

“We had the chicken fingers combo and a soda. The fingers were actually biscuit-sized chunks of succulent boneless chicken with thick breading lol 'Glad we had the crispy medium dry rub with the roasted garlic dip so that the chicken didn't get soggy. I was hoping the spice would be something unique. It was basically Lawry's seasoning which I do like, however, the fries were heavily doused in this spice and mixed with the chicken batter. Due to how overwhelming it was, that one meal was enough for two ppl (and my husband has a big appetite) which came with a side of coleslaw that was ok. Great music, vibes and restaurant name. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but I bet it's amazing if you stopped in here while you were rolling ;)“

“Clean and well organized business. The girl at the front is friendly and good at her job. The best Philly Cheesesteak! I have also tried the Chicky Fries combo and that was excellent. I also like the Chicken Cheesesteak sandwich. Can’t wait to try their Wings as I just heard great things from my co-worker!

“Ordered the number 2 fried chicken and the spring roll. The fried chicken was super crispy in the outside and tender in the inside. I think the batter they use for the skin had those crispy cereals to make it crispy. Added the red sauce on top and it was a cherry on top. The broth was also very flavorful and delicious. Great way to wash down the meal. The spring roll was ok. I don’t really like fried spring roll but we ordered to try it. I think dipped with the sauce is good but personally it was eh for me. However my bf did like it so I was say it’s decent. The order came super fast and nice customer service. Would definitely come back again.“

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

“First of all, the food proportions are amazing (i got full from just eating half). The chickies and fries platter are a must try from this place. The man behind the counter recommended to drizzle some green sauce over it, and it was so savory and delicious!!! The burgers and sandwiches are also sooooo good. Each time I went, the guys behind the counter were always friendly and cordial. 10/10 recommend“

“I found this place on google and I came because the pictures of the chicken looked so good. The chicken did not disappoint. It was super tender and all the different sauces are so good. I would order the 1/2 chicken because the 1/4 chicken is not really that big but besides that I loved the food. The french fries were really good too!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“Phenomenal. I can’t get over how sweet the lady who attended us was. This is the first restaurant I’ve been to where i felt as if the food was truly made with love. The food itself was absolutely delicious, and the price was very reasonable. My friend and I ordered the fried chicken, tteokbokki, and bulgogi kimbap. The portions were perfect, we finished ALL of it (and licked our fingers clean). Their plates are also so cute if I may add. I will definitely bring all of my friends here when they visit Teaneck.“

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

“Their fried chicken is always crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Whether you go for the soy garlic or the regular, you can’t go wrong. The quality is top-notch, and you can tell they take care in making every order fresh. Service is always quick and friendly, and the new owner, James, is amazing! He really cares about the customers and makes sure everything is just right. If you’re looking for the best Korean fried chicken around, this is the spot!“

“I really appreciate that Fevy’s offers halal chicken for Muslim customers, and the quality is top-notch. You can tell the chicken is fresh from its texture and cleanliness. The fried chicken is incredibly crispy, and the buldak chicken with cheese was absolutely delicious, though be warned—it’s quite spicy! The portion sizes are generous as well. The kimchi fried rice was decent, but it had a strong sesame oil flavor that might not be for everyone. The fries were a highlight—crispy and fresh. The iced tea, however, wasn't sweet enough for my taste. I also tried a sauce that was labeled as spicy, but it leaned more on the sweet side, which wasn’t what I was expecting. It would be great if there was a way to sample all the sauces without having to buy each one separately. The service was friendly and enthusiastic, which made the experience even more enjoyable.“

“Our family's go-to Korean chicken place!! It never disappoints us. The chicken is always perfectly crispy and light. ???

With so many incredible flavors to choose from, we always go for the half & half option. Our favorites are the "Soy Garlic" that is sweet and savory(my son's fav) and "Cheesling(my fav)"!! coated with a light dusting of cheesy goodness that melts in your mouth.

If you're a fan of loaded fries, you need to try the Cheesling Fries. They' are topped with the same delicious cheese powder as the chicken, and when you drizzle their secret sauce on top...omg..this combination is so addictive! ?You will find it hard to stop eating. Must try!!“

“First time here. We went here after blue man show. Chicken was great. We got chicken strips and fries. There was a line but only waited a minute. Staff was friendly and helpful. Cost was average. May have to try them again at different locations.“

“Absolutely fantastic!!! I was impressed from the first bite to the last. This restaurant earned a return visit when I'm close. Every dish features fresh elements and careful presentation. Staff handle requests quickly with a friendly attitude. I'm promoting this place to all my contacts.“

“Love it hot and spicy nice“

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

“A good place to stop in Chinatown and try the Vietnamese dishes from this small restaurant. Prices are around ten dollars and card payment is accepted (with an additional surcharge).

P.S. The fried chicken with rice is delicious.“

“The snow onion chicken was really good , and a good amount of chicken tenders, big pieces, great sauce, also I tried the Mango bingsu it was really decent, the owner is very friendly she made everything front of us very clean, I really recommend to try it“

“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!“

“The chicken is really good! The honey garlic sauce is perfectly sweet and garlicky and the plain chicken is seasoned very well. The skin has an aesthetic crunch and isn't soggy on the plain but the sauce does make the skin on the honey garlic chickens a bit soggy. I ordered a whole chicken and the chicken breasts were quite dry but the drums were perfect and juice was spilling out when I took a bite. I would give the place a 5 if it weren't for the dryness of the chicken and sogginess. Overall the chicken is extremely good compared to other chicken joints and I would still give this place a try.“

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

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

“Peppa is open for takeout, clean food awesome“

“Loved this place! Walked by it a million times and never went in, decided to try it out recently and was very pleased with this local restaurant. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and fries which were both delicious and very generous portions. An added bonus was the friendly and welcoming service!“

“Don’t know why I always disregarded this place because it was local. It’s absolutely so good. Better than Cane’s. The special side sauce is VERY similar if not the same, but the chicken is better. Will be returning to try their drinks!“

“Amazing meals at reasonable prices.“

“The crispy spicy with the elementary spicy is A1. Truffle fries one of the best around and great service“

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

“Tasty food. I had 4 flavors of boneless wings. KRISPY, Honey, Soy, and Cheese. I will say Honey was probably best followed by Soy. Cheese was very unique, like a cheese doodle, but it's chicken. I like it, but you might not want that as a main dish, but a great side with some beer. Nothing wrong with Krispy. The boneless wings were very large, expect larger than a typical restaurant.“

“Food tasted great. Service was excellent and quick despite the crowd.“

“Had a double smash with fries. 100 percent recommended. this place is awesome.“

“I've been a loyal customer of Sweeties since it opened. I've loved their Soy Garlic bowl, Bulgogi bowl, chicken sandwich and french fries! The flavor and tenderness of the chicken is fantastic!
Just one suggestion: One time I recently ordered the Soy Garlic bowl and it came with I believe basmati rice, rather than the usual white rice it has come with when I ordered the previous several times. In my opinion, the classic white sticky rice takes the bowl to a different level, so hopefully they were just out that day!“

“Excelente servicio muy cómodo lo maximoo“

“This place is 100% halal live poultryAnd 5 star service call order and in person order….. This place provides you with very good service and good quality chicken. Always being approached with a smile and leaving satisfied with the duck and chicken I bought. So fresh and well taken cared of the chicken they sell.“

“Exemplary Service Above and Beyond – A Rare Gem in Manhattan

I want to take a moment to recognize the exceptional professionalism and dedication of Boris, the manager at Chirp’s 2nd Avenue location. In an era where customer service often feels rushed or impersonal—especially in a fast-paced city like Manhattan—Boris demonstrated what true commitment to excellence look like.

Our office had placed a large group order for 25 people through a third-party delivery platform. Due to a technical glitch, the order was never transmitted to the restaurant. We only discovered this after I called Chirp to check on the delay.

At that moment, Boris could have simply explained the situation, apologized, and moved on—which would have been entirely understandable. Instead, he immediately took ownership of the issue, even though it was not his fault, and told us, “I will take care of this for you.”

True to his word, Boris and his team swiftly prepared the full order—an undertaking that undoubtedly disrupted their normal operations. Not only that, he personally delivered the food to our office, ensuring that our team event wasn’t derailed. Our meals arrived hot, delicious, and everyone was happy.

This level of service is incredibly rare and deserves to be recognized. Boris didn’t just solve a problem—he turned a potential disaster into a moment of gratitude. His actions reflect a commitment to customer satisfaction that is all too uncommon today.

Thank you, Boris, for your integrity and kindness. You’ve earned loyal customers, and we’ll be sharing this story with others as an example of what great service truly looks like.“
