I used to love the oyster mushroom po boy, but the past two times I’ve ordered it, the mushroom is rubbery and undercooked to the point where it’s nearly impossible to bite through, inedible with the fried coating all spotty and inconsistent. The pieces of mushroom are way too large and they still contain the hard stem. Please cut the mushroom properly so that it cooks and fries properly too. Disappointed since I’m vegetarian and really used to love this sandwich.

The spicy chicken sandwich is out of this world! Perfectly seasoned and crispy, got it for delivery which took almost an hour and it was still fantastic!

Mid, oh sooooo mid. Maybe even, just…not good? Chicken dry and bland. Leaning hard on a mayo based sauce to provide any flavor. Caramelized onions and soy pickles on the classic were dull gummy afterthoughts. Really surprised because of the hype this had about a year ago. Pretty sad that this is on a “Top hits for Park Slope”. This is tiktok food.
Additionally, service vibes were just… sad. Do i need to contract someone to take an order? why don’t you have hot sauce at a chicken joint and it’s bland chicken? (no- i don’t want $4 mayo or duck fat). Y’all are riding on some years old support that you do not deserve presently.
2 stars because the Gem Salad was great and refreshing, but I didn’t come to a chicken spot for salad.

Pros: - chicken was crispy - cornbread was tasty - broth was aromatic - garlic and herb flavoring sauce for chicken was delicious
Cons: - all other sauces were bland - cornbread was slightly burnt - side hot sauce was somehow worse than plain tobasco - portion was small for the price point - rice was similarly bland
Seems to cater to a different demographic. Chili flavor was really disappointing.

Definitely a cool lookin restaurant. We ordered a bunch of different items from the dinner menu. Unfortunately this feels like poor execution of fusion food! The portions were good though. I see any other review that says the potato salad and cornbread was the best part of their meal and I agree. It was super busy so maybe that had something to do with the quality. I’m open to try again!

Fantastic fried chicken with Szechuan peppercorns. This is my favorite Chinese dish reincarnated as fried chicken. Great fried cauliflower so vegetative can be happy to Great sides too. Also, you gotta see the art in the bathroom.

Just okay, don’t get the cucumber salad, for the love of god.

Worth all the hype. Spicy chicken sando was amazing and the kale salad is a must. Staff was super friendly.
Fun casual spot to grab a bite before heading to a Nets or Liberty game! The chicken was my favorite! It was so flavorful and the spicy level was perfect for me. It was just enough to kick but not overwhelming the flavour. The sides are fantastic too.

Great little spot with excellent fried chicken and cauliflower. We also think the cornbread is one of the best I’ve had - it’s *delicious*. The chili chicken Sando was great, and we really thought the cauliflower was amazingly crispy and flavorful. Well seasoned, not soggy at all.

Am I missing something? The chicken was fine didn't really taste any particular nod to all of the flavors alluded to etc. The charred cucumbers are disgusting, one of the few vegetables I can definitively say should not be charred. There's also extremely limited tables and you have to rush to decide what you want before you sit down. Its not fast casual but maybe slow casual. And overall I just wasn't picking up any of the flavor combinations they were putting down, mostly because they were weak

I had the chance to try Eric’s spicy chicken in San Francisco during a special event, and I was blown away by the bold, flavorful heat he brought to the dish. Since we’re visiting New York City, we made the trip all the way to Prospect Heights to experience it again. The chicken here is incredibly tender and juicy, but the spicy flavor doesn’t quite match the unforgettable kick I enjoyed in SF. On the other hand, the salted egg chicken was a delightful surprise—rich and savory in all the right ways. My only gripe is the excess oil pooling in the tray containers, which detracts from an otherwise satisfying meal.
