• Take-Out

“I mean it's fast food so I never expect much. The place was clean the food was hot and good. Nothing under cooked thank goodness. They were not cheap with the fries like most other places. My only complaint was the cashier didn't seem knowledgeable. Very sweet girl but not really helpful with answering my questions at all. I don't eat fast food often but usually if you order strips they automatically ask what kind of sauce, she didn't ask me so I was disappointed when I got back to work and realized that I had no dipping sauce and no there was no way I was walking back. Just a small tip to keep a customer satisfied.”

“I went to Dave's for the first time yesterday 7/5. We ordered through the kiosk.The service was fast, friendly and efficient. Even though it was very busy. I got the x men box. The food was good. I got the mild chicken slider. Mild was the right amount of heat for me. Hot but not to hot. One thing I'll note, each meal does not come with a drink. This is very puzzling. Other than that, we will definitely be back.”

“I have wanted to try this for a while. I do not live in Edison, was visiting and decided to try. I always see many people leaving with their bags looking happy. OMG! This chicken is fabulous. Crunchy, juicy, the garlic honey sauce is a great combo of sweet and savory. It was too much food for me at one meal, but it was just as good as a leftover. A few minutes in the toaster oven to recrisp and it was still great. People are friendly and efficient. I will definately be back when I am in town next.”

“We had dinner at Namkeen with our kids and had a fantastic experience. The service was amazing—friendly, attentive, and welcoming—and the food quality was excellent. We ordered the tikka-flavored Wing Bites, Smash Burger, Mac & Cheese, Chicken Tenders, Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, and Tikka Chicken Sandwich. Everything tasted great! The chicken especially stood out—it was incredibly fresh, juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. There was something for everyone, which made it a great spot for dinner with the family. Great food, great service, and an overall excellent experience. We’ll definitely be back!”

We tried door dashing one time and a dasher never came so we wound up going in person to pick it up instead but the chicken we ordered was sitting out for an hour, the staff there made us a FRESH batch to take home which we thought was so sweet. Fantastic service, we are so addicted. Kjun flavor is the jam”

“Basic takeout experience. I wish they had better vegetable options; my kids and I hate coleslaw, so we have to make a veggie side in order to have a well rounded meal. There's no seating inside, which is fine because we were bringing it to family, but I wish they had a drive-thru window so I wouldn't have to unbuckle my kids every time I pick up food there.”

I wanted my mix platter with broccoli and zucchini which is not in their menu, they were able to provide that for me. My son love their buffalo wings dip in sauce and hot wings. Their fried chicken is always fresh and delicious! I also recommend their cheesesteak, always fresh, hot and juicy! Vegetarian options: They can make you veggie sub, rice with veggies, Mac and cheese and more Parking: You can park in front of the store for curbside pickup or at the parking lot with many spots to park at. Kid-friendliness: They have seats where your little one and sit and enjoy their meal, kids friendly customer service.”

“I have been going to KFCs since they started and they have been around for at least 20 years +. And I love the menus. The chicken is outstanding and I love the biskits and the chocolate chip cookies. Prices are reasonable to. I’m disabled now so I’m going to have to get someone to go and use the drive in to pick up my food. I live right down the street at the Senior Tower West building at Plainfield Avenue and W. 7th Street. We are right here at the corner. It’s so easy to get there. It’s the best spot for that KFC cause it’s right on the corner and it’s right in a busy section in that area.”

Waspleasantly surprised from how busy it was inside to the large portion sizes to the quality and taste of the food. For those looking for a taste of Peru. This is the place to go. I got the Mussels and postponed (fried plantains) with the picante sauce, eve. Reasonably priced as well. Definitely will be back when in the area.”

“Jollibee is always one of our go-to comfort foods! 🇵🇭❤ The Chickenjoy is crispy on the outside and juicy inside, and of course we can never skip the Jolly Spaghetti. There’s just something about that sweet-style spaghetti that hits differently, especially when you’re craving Filipino food.”

“I have only eaten here once. I ordered a famous bowl but was a little disheartened to find that there were only four pieces of chicken in the actual bowl. In terms of service, the workers there were nice (they were even singing along to the song playing in the restaurant which got me to smile). As far as atmosphere, it's at a major junction point, so if you're looking for a place with a scene, you're not going to find it here.”

“I cant lie man this is some of the best damn fried chicken I had in a very long time This taste like somebody big momma made this. The biscuits where tough and the jambalaya was a little salty thats my only complaint Maybe yall should use less salt and a little sugar to cut the acid and tart tast. But otherwise that was so damn good chicken.”
