My friend from work put me onto Don Chicken, saying it's one of her favorites. So I've ordered from the DC in Verona a couple of times already and I agree with her. Huge portions of very good Korean fried chicken. Each time I ordered, I had leftovers for lunch the next day (and the food stays). I've tried crispy, soy garlic, and snowing cheese. All good, but my favorite order would be soy garlic wings with a side of rice and pickled radish. Fries and onions are fine, but it's just too much fried for me (taste preference). I stick with plain rice and radish to balance out the bold flavor of the soy garlic sauce. I liked the bulgogi beef bowl, but the kimchi rice just wasn't my thing. I like kimchi on it's own, but the kimchi rice was a little too much for me. Maybe if I ordered add-ons to the bowl, it may have worked for my taste preference. Yeah, you can customize; some ingredients are free, some are upgrades. I also like their choice of sustainable (biodegradable) takeout/carryout containers. Good for the earth and also never had any spillage while in transit. read more

We've been here a few times and the staff has always been super friendly and welcoming. Frequently sending out extra items. As for the chicken, the orders are huge, two people may finish a small order if it's drumsticks as they are all full size pieces. I have tried several flavors and they are all rather good, with the spicy actually being very spicy, which is a change from everyone else's pedestrian spicy. read more

When it comes to delicious food Don Chicken doesn't Cluck Around. We're talking about Chili Heat - Sweet Cracklin - Lick Smacklin - Crispy Juicy - Super Flavorful Chicken!! On my last visit I picked up a combination of Wings and Drumsticks that were drenched in their signature Sweet and Spicy Sauce which were amazingly delicious in every way. They were totally on point with that tangy sweet heat and flavored nicely plus the texture offered a solid crispness to each and every tremendously tasty bite. They also serve up some outstanding Coleslaw here as well. It's never too sweet or loaded with vinegar like some other places but just the right amount of flavor which makes it the perfect Side Dish of my choice to go with these amazing Wings. Also worth mentioning: be sure and enjoy these super saucy sticky Wings where you have access to a sink or at least some wet-naps. Once you indulge yourself, this sweet and spicy sauce gets on everything and napkins are completely useless. While traveling I dug into my order and now my entire truck is covered in sweet and spicy sauce not to mention all over my beard, Lol. I'm definitely not complaining just pointing out some friendly advice people. I actually don't mind that super sticky deliciousness hanging around, it's a nice reminder that I ate at Don Chicken Come And Get Your Munch On!! read more

Don Chicken - 'Chicken' burger NOT! - Korean Near Me - Verona, New Jersey

I was so excited that there is a Don Chicken in the area, since I used to always drive to Bergen, which I believe is the original location. With this branch, I was worried about the quality compared to the original and it did not disappoint!! I think the soy garlic chicken is top tier as well as my husband who lives spicy foods. He usually is the type to always choose spicy. The soy garlic chicken is so perfectly crispy, juicy, and tender and the 20 wings is perfect to share between 2-3 people. We also ordered the green scallion chicken for takeout and though the pieces were big, and crispiness was good. The flavor was lacking and they provided enough sauce for only about 4 pieces to be used with the sauce. The sauce definitely helped, but there was so little sauce that the chicken started tasting quite bland without the help of the sauce. However, we decided to drive back to get sauce realized they were supposed to give us two sauce, but they only gave one and the one sauce cup we got was accidentally a smaller sauce cup used for something else. Lastly, this location is in the downtown so parking is scarce, but there is metered parking nearby. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, this location has a few tables for self-seating, but it definitely has a more takeout vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would recommend getting this to go. This will definitely be a go-to for korean fried chicken! read more

Great Korean chicken, nice people. Menu is getting larger. More yummies. Eat in or takeout.

Everything was great!! Amy was so sweet and helpful and made us comfortable and was super patient, everything looked so good and we didn't know what to get. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We loved that there was enough seating for our group of 8.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everybody enjoyed their food and I'm still eating my leftovers. Can't wait to go back again! read more

Small, casual restaurant that does mostly takeout but they have a few tables to dine in. The chicken comes out in a cute basket and they don't skimp on the toppings. The staff is friendly and they bring out the dishes to your table. We ordered two dishes that were big portions split between two people: * Green Onion Chicken 9.5/10 - The chicken was super crispy and the sauce on top was very flavorful. They loaded on the green onions which helped cut the grease of the chicken. * Cheese Ddeokbokki 7.5/10 - The ddeokbokki sauce was too soupy for my liking, but the flavor was nicely sweet and spicy. It comes with cabbage, fish cakes, and a boiled egg. Overall, I would definitely come again and check out their other locations too. The food was delicious and perfectly satisfied my fried chicken craving. It was around $50 for two people, which is a little high but I would say it is on par with other Korean fried chicken places of similar quality. read more

I've been to the Don Chicken in Palisades Park, and I believe the food here is on par with the other location! My friend and I got the Ddukbokki and a small Soy Garlic Chicken. Neither of us eat a lot, so the portion we got was enough! The small came with around 10 pieces of chicken. The soy garlic chicken was flavorful and delicious. If you don't like spicy food, I would highly recommend the soy garlic flavor. We also got the spicy rice cake which comes with a boiled egg, cabbage, and fish cake. I thought the rice cake was chewy and a little spicy, but not unbearable. It was very good and I would highly recommend this dish to anyone who likes spice! The style of the restaurant was mostly takeout with a couple tables to dine in. The owners were friendly and accommodating. I would highly ask the cashier or front desk for gloves if you plan on dining in. The chicken also comes with pickled radish which I love! It goes well with the chicken and cleanses your palate. read more

Don Chicken - Fried Chicken, very crispy - Korean Near Me - Verona, New Jersey

I like Korean fried chicken but know that not all Korean fried chicken joints are created equal. This was our first time at any Don Chicken, and it was a respectable version, just not our fave kind, which is thin and crispy. We had their sweet and spicy (vs hot and spicy) whole chicken and were struck by how quickly the order came out. They have complementary white radish but not slaw, which I was gravely disappointed about. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although there are a number of tables and chairs, most of the orders were clearly for pickup during the short time we dined in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And without the usual distraction from k-pop blasting off flat screen tv or the vibe of having other diners, we sat there and ate a whole chicken like it was our life's mission. Parking is tricky due to the busy location and limited shop front parking spaces, so street parking may be the best bet, as it was for us. read more

OMG!!! I got the soy garlic chicken and it was perfectly seasoned, perfectly fried, and the perfect amount of sauce on them. I asked for them extra crispy and they were still juicy good. Some of the best soy garlic wings I've had all year!!! read more

After posting my review, the restaurant reached out to me personally and apologized for the mistake that was made with my order and offered to re-make my entire order at no charge, which I think was a very gracious and generous way to address my complaint. This is the kind of gesture that makes me appreciate a business owner that's willing to please their customers. I'll definitely patronize this establishment again. read more

Wow. Just wow. Are the words my father hasn't stopped saying from the restaurant to the car. Being a once picky eater, you have very high expectations and sometimes don't even bother trying something because of the ingredients. I ordered the Fried Chicken Rice Bowl, I saw the sauces and I was skeptical. But oh my goodness! IT WAS GREAT! The chicken was crispy, juicy, and tender. The sauces were a perfect touch, and cabbage and rice were a good combination for the meal. You need a big appetite for this place because the portion does not disappoint. With the wonderful employees, and marvelous owner. I left with a smile on my face, and a full tummy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seats are comfortable, and you just feel at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Rephrased by me, don't live until you've tried Don Chicken. read more

Very, very expensive and the food was mediocre. I've been to other competitors and the food was much much and the portions were much better.

I frequently order from here and usually get the soy garlic whole chicken and fries. They're always perfectly fried and taste great. The complimentary radish is also so delicious! The staff is friendly, and I'm always satisfied with the service. read more

Everything is new so the food is uber fresh. K- style chicken with delicious soy garlic crack chicken. Went a little adventurous and tried the snow chicken, which is fried chicken with grated cheese. The first bite was amazing but as we were finishing the cheese with the fried chicken was way too heavy. I would recommend it but recommend getting it small when you have a mid/large party because it is delicious but very heavy. The staff are super nice but they are very new. You can tell. So if your in a rush order ahead... on that note, all the chicken is fried to order so it would be beneficial to order ahead of time. Over all 9 out of 10 read more
