Cute Jolly be in times square. Very packed. Not enough seating but it's Times Square so we can't say anything about it. The food is pretty standard to other Jollibee. Don't really have any complaints. The bathroom was clean and it was well stocked with toilet paper. The line wasn't too long and the wait wasn't too long. read more

So, is Jollibee the best fast food fried chicken in the world? The original is crispy, juicy, flavorful dark meat...quite good! The spicy is a little off. The gravy is watery without that overly gelatinous consistency and a little less savoriness than usual. That sweet spaghetti is not terrible. The macaroni and cheese is a pass. Mashed potatoes seem reconstituted...not good. The pies are similar to other fast food restaurants...terrible. The Ube flavor is unique. The Cole Slaw tastes fresh. The pineapple drink is refreshing but very sweet. In all, solid original fried chicken but would pass on much of the rest. Packed well. Delivery is fast. If this is what you are looking for, look no further. read more

OH YEA BABY 10 piece me REAL quick. I wasn't leaving New York without this delight! My mouth is watering again as we speak. This was so delicious. Spicy, JUICY, crunchy, flavorful. Like huh? This location was clean & organized. Last time the one I went to in TimesSquare was basic, but we took it to go. At this one we ate here & it was comfy. Slightly tight space, but it's very manageable. The gravy is the holy grail. Im convinced it came straight from heaven. Okay im done before I write a book about this chicken Thank you! read more

Good place to get your jollibee fix. Unfortunately there is not enough seating. Highly recommend the chicken sandwich.

All we got were 2 pies. The service wasn't very fast. There were seats since we went at around 10 pm. It wasn't too loud at that time either. read more

I love Jollibee because it is always fried fresh and they use only dark meats so their fried chicken is always juicy. I would recommend the spicy one though because the original is not as great in my opinion. The pie is also awesome. I love it! read more

It's a standard fast food restaurant, but the chicken sandwich is surprisingly good. I can see why it's so popular across many countries. Servers are pretty fast. Vibes are a bit sad especially on a cold day but it's a fast food restaurant. read more

I've eaten at the Times Square location twice back in 2018 and 2019 and the Roosevelt location once back in 2024. I absolutely love the Times Square location, I got the spicy chicken and it was crispy, juicy, and had just the right amount of spice. I honestly thought that Jollibee was one of the best fried chicken spots I've ever had in my life. If you get the gravy, I highly suggest dipping the chicken in there for extra flavor. Their pineapple quencher was too sweet though and so was the peach mango pie. And then, a few years later, I tried the Jollibee in Roosevelt, Queens and I don't know if it's because my taste buds have changed or if the location was different, but the chicken didn't hit the same as before. I was disappointed because I was looking forward to eating at my favorite fried chicken spot again. I understand that they were busy though but the chicken just wasn't that flavorful. However, I got their ube pie and OH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZING!!! Honestly, one of the best things I've ever eaten, I thought I was in heaven after my first bite lol. I definitely prefer it over the peach mango pie. Oh and I also got their spaghetti, I actually liked it. I know some people aren't a fan of it since it's sweet or whatever but personally, I didn't think it was that sweet. It paired well with the chicken. read more

Jollibee - 10pc Chickenjoy Bucket - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

Fried chicken is the best assuming you don't have to wait for it. The past two times I used the GrubHub app for pick up and each time trying to get the order has been chaotic Yesterday I had to wait 20 minutes to get anyone to even speak with me and the order was sitting there. Very disorganized and people working there didn't really seem to know what was going on. Also, by the time I got my food, it was cold and soggy. You guys should work on a better pick up process. You have pick up boxes but it's not being used. read more

I discovered this Jollibee location after my doctor's appointment. There was only one group dining inside. There was also a lot of homeless loitering in front of the store. I order the half and half combo - one regular chicken joy and the other is spicy with french fries. The fries portion was generous. I ended my meal with the ube pie, which is not sold in the Times Square location. Service was so quick, and this location has the area where you pick your own drink. I was happy that I was able to eat in peace and enjoy the meal. The spicy chicken definitely had a kick. I had my meal early in the morning around 10:30 am to avoid the lunch rush hour crowd. read more

Jollibee - 2pc Chickenjoy Meal Deal - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

Jollibee is my favorite fried chicken! The chicken is moist, crispy, and flavorful, and the spicy version is actually somewhat spicy compared to say Popeyes or KFC. It blows other fried chicken out of the water. It's a Filipino chain that's now expanding into more cities in the US. There are two in Manhattan, with another one set to open in Grand Central this summer. The quality of the chicken here can be inconsistent - sometimes it's a bit dry, or the meat bland/under-seasoned, but when it's cooked as it's meant to be and comes out piping hot, it's the best! Some of the sides are distinctly Filipino style, like the Jolly spaghetti (yes the sauce is supposed to be sweet), palabok fiesta, and the aromatic adobo rice, so embrace them as they are. The candy sweet pineapple quencher will tickle the limbic senses of childhood nostalgia. And while I have not tried the pies, I am intrigued by the ube and peach-mango fillings. The wait can be a little long during lunch & dinner hours (which I try to avoid), but nothing like the endurance sport of waiting on line at the Jollibee location inside the American Dream mall in East Rutherford NJ. read more

I was craving something sweet so I came here to get an ube pie and a peach mango pie. Love the crunchy fried pie shells!! The fillings for both were sweeter and more artificial tasting than I remember though. read more

where to even begin, the food was 100 out of 10. Amazing fried chicken. I highly recommend trying this. It's some of the best fried chicken I've had from a fast food place. If not the best service was alright. The interior was fine, but the focus is this food. The chicken was so good. The mashed potatoes amazing the gravy spectacular the pies phenomenal. The spaghetti is different but it's amazing and the pineapple crunch was pretty good. Highly recommend it. I want one closer to me. read more

Jollibee - Jolly Spaghetti meal - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

It's a few years since I've been able to return to the Philippines, and I remember being excited when the first Jollibee opened in NYC, in 2009, to huge lines, and yes it took me 15 years to finally have a chance to eat at one, but it is the best fried chicken out of any chain that I've tried, and the flavors of the spaghetti instantly took me back to Manila. It felt like a typical fast food experience. Walked in, read the menu, chose the special, paid, stood in the waiting area with my receipt, collected the food when my name was called. We ate inside, and people watched. Chairs and tables were fairly comfortable. read more

Jollibee - Single piece original chicken and spaghetti combo. - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

I was craving some spicy fried chicken from Jollibees that was next to Port Authority and was so disappointed to find out they did not have any in stock around 5:00 pm on a Saturday. There was also only one person at the register while there was a big line, so it really took us over 20 minutes to get the food that we were ultimately not satisfied with. read more

Jollibee - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

Went to this location for the first time. Located on the next block from the Port Authority Bus Terminal and not far from Times Sq area. Seating available in a small area in the back- I think 6 tables (some for 2-4 people,1 maybe can fit 6). 1 lone table in the front. Service is good. An error in my order was corrected right away. Menu is missing palabok, which I was informed they didn't have at this location. Got the 1 pc combo with spaghetti ($9.99) - spicy chicken drumstick, skin is crispy but not the battered part (maybe I am not like most but I am not into the gravy); spaghetti was enough amount for me, sweet, cheesy sauce, but lacking hotdog bits. Combo is a filling meal for me. 2pc- combo is $12.99. Adobo rice was nothing special, a little dry, so won't get again. I told my son that the Ube pie is plain with ube paste filling, but he wanted to taste it, and he agreed that it is. I prefer the peach mango pie better. Both with a crispy pie shell. read more

I was told I HAD to try this place, so I did. I could tell that the food would be really good had I not gotten partly raw chicken leg and thigh and mango peach pie with raw, gooey dough on the inside that's still stuck to my teeth. The outer pie crust was so light and crispy and delicious. The pie filling was delicious but very runny and running out of the pie, thinner than the gravy they have. Perhaps there's a problem with their fryer and temperature gauge or that particular location. It was a shame. People will get sick if they keep serving raw chicken! read more

Service is decent and modern decor with plenty of seatings available. It can get crowded during lunch and dinner time though. Can't go wrong with Jollibee's fried chicken. They exclusively use dark meat and the juice just gushes out of each and every piece of their chicken. Spicy version is also a bit more flavorful and who doesn't love a little kick. Dip the skin and the meat in the gravy as well for the heavenly combo. Decent mashed potatoes and fries. Wash it all down with the Pineapple Quencher and end the meal with a Peach Mango Pie. read more

Friendly and quick service. Jollibee is one of my go tos for fried chicken, especially because I love drumsticks. I didn't discover it until recently and I realized I was missing out on a lot! Seasoned, crispy and juicy chicken paired well with mashed potato gravy. Fries were warm and crunchy but could do without. Spaghetti sauce was too sweet, wasn't a fan. Peach mango pie and ube pie were a hit, just happened to be a lil more hollow than I expected. Lychee Iced Tea and Dragon Fruit Sunset were refreshing (actual small chunks of dragon fruit were used). Lychee Iced Tea wasn't as sweet as the latter. Jollibee has won me over, I'm definitely coming back! read more

Jollibee - Unlimited soda at the Jollibee 36th St, New York! - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

This was my first time at Jollibee after raving reviews from friends who have them in the home countries and I am so grateful that it did not disappoint. Starting with the food: YUM. I got mild fried chicken and it was large and crispy. I liked the inclusion of the sauce which I used every now and again to switch up the flavor so it didn't become so monotonous. Great addition! The spaghetti. God knows I'm still thinking about it. I was, understandably, worried about getting spaghetti from a fast food fried chicken joint, but it was the best decision I could've made. Absolutely delicious. But be warned that it does contain sausage and that could be pork, so verify that if that's something you don't eat. My least favorite part was the pineapple juice. Too watery. The service could've been better. Could've been faster in terms of giving you the food after ordering. The staff in charge of that seemed very confused at times. Looking forward to returning! read more

Jollibee - 2-pc Chickenjoy with Jolly Spaghetti and pineapple juice - Fast Food Near Me - New York, New York

If you are Filipino who's craving Jollibee, the chickenjoy won't disappoint. The spaghetti serving is also big. For a two-piece chicken with Spaghetti and Pinaeapple juice, you will pay around $15 (already including tax). The location is around the busy part of 8th ave as it umis very close to Port Authority and also about seven blocks to Penn St. The ambiance inside though is great. The AC system is excellent so it would be nice to hang out and dine in around hot days. Service is top notch. The servers are friendly and polite. They are also very accurate with preparing the order. read more

You hear about this place, that people love it outside the US, so I tried it. Good stuff. The food was good, its popular for a reason. For the price, its a good place to grab lunch. This location in particular moved things along pretty well, had seating while I was there, and was clean. I'd go again. read more

I don't understand how this place is even still opened. I walk and already no air conditioning, red flag number 1. I get to the front and order my food no issue and the sitting there waiting for 20 minutes and then a guy calls me over and he is now saying they are waiting on tenders. Mind you 20 minutes has already gone by. So, finally after almost 30 minutes the tenders come out, and then I realized, the drink they gave me was the drink they made like 25 minutes ago while they were waiting for my tenders to come out. So now I have spent my entire lunch break for a water down drink and sub par chicken tenders. Thanks Jollibee, I'll make sure to go somewhere else next time! read more

As a Filipino American, I'm duty-bound to report that this location brings all the classic Jollibee flavors, which may be all you need to hear. But for a fast food chain, the staff seems totally lacking in urgency. There was only one register open when we arrived at 1 PM on a Saturday, and it took us 8 minutes to get to the front of the 6-person line. Then it took another 10 for us to receive our food. There also isn't enough seating in here. Patrons had moved all the chairs around to accommodate their variously sized parties, which isn't ideal; at least two of the tables I considered only had one seat apiece. I went rummaging for another chair and was rebuffed by patrons who were holding them for companions who were waiting at the handoff plane. I considered standing at the shelf at the entrance, but that's no way to eat messy food, and anyway abandoned trays of food wrappers still needed to be cleared away. Finally, the menu is real confusing. A 3-piece chicken tenders costs less than 50% of a 6-piece chicken tenders. A side portion of spaghetti is listed on the menu, for $4, but the entree size, which costs $6, isn't listed. read more

Once again, the chicken here is amazing but the wait is abysmal. Who wants to wait 20+ minutes for a simple chicken sandwich? It seems like they have a lot of employees here but they have some operational challenges because it's the same situation every time I visit. Today was Santa con and it's Saturday so it might have been exceptionally busy but this was the worst I've seen it. They should have common items like chicken sandwiches ready made but it seems like everything here is made to order. They really need an operational revamp. read more

Honestly, Jollibee is my FAVORITE fried chicken chain, ever! Their chicken is super crispy and the meat is so juicy. This is the only spicy fried chicken that is actually SPICY. There's this spicy kick to ever bite. Every time I'm in New York , I must get Jollibee or I'll go back home regretting it. LOL My usual order is the 2pc with 2 sides. My sides would be adobo rice and of course, their spaghetti. The spaghetti is not the American version. They use their Filipino ketchup, Jufran. It could be sweet for some, but for me, it's perfect haha. The adobo rice have these little minced beef in it. Super flavorful. TIP - always dip your fried chicken in their gravy. Their gravy so good I could just sip it as soup LOL Overall, I sound like I'm hyping them up too much but reality, I am! It's that damn good. Did I mention that the staff is super nice? And most of all their location is super clean. read more

Jolly Me at Jollibee. Filipino fried drumsticks and thighs makes a jolly me. Then add on some gravy with rice, thin noodle palabok and sweet spaghetti. What a wonderful meal this made. For dessert a must try pie with flavors or banana & langka or mango & peaches. Warm gooey inside with a crispy shell that is reminiscent of the McDonald's apple pie. Customer service excellence depends on which location you go to. I would rather go out of my way for this NYC Jollibee rather than return to the Jollibee I pass everyday at JSQ in Jersey City. Will definitely stop in again at this location to bring home a bucket of chicken with delicious sides. read more

Apparently, we come to dine-in at this jolibee before or after watching a Broadway show. And this is the only Jolibee location that we have visited at the moment. This Jolibee was usually busy during the times that we have visited (i.e around 5pm/6pm). We have waited between 15-30 minutes to get our food here and it was a bit annoying since this is a fast food restaurant. Nevertheless, we haven't been disappointed with their fried chicken and the fried chicken was always juicy and delicious every time. We also like their Jolly Spaghetti. But, we didn't like their chicken tenders and i recalled that it was a bit dry. Seats seems to be limited. Luckily, we were able to get seats every time that we dined here. Many people usually ordered Jolibee to-go. I also appreciate that the staff wiping down and cleaning the dining areas after when people leave. read more

Can't argue - the chicken is good. And fyi - the coconut pineapple pie has a red line made with what i am told is food coloring so they can tell their pies apart. However - service is still questionable. Expecting a line and slow service, we ordered online so the food would be ready by the time we got there. We arrived and had to wait just a little bit, then it appeared ready for us to just eat, BUT, we were forced to look at it because it needed to be checked and given to us in "order." "'That's my order, can I just take it?' 'No ' We weren't sure what that order was as people who were ordering, after we had already been waiting, received their food before us. We waited a good 10 minutes as our food just stared back at us on the counter. Regardless, I can't say no to Jollibee. read more

Wow, wow, WOW. Or shall I say wowowee. When I heard Jolibee opened in Times Square I knew I had to support. This place stayed true to its core, and I'm so happy it did. Came through Sunday afternoon and ordered the chicken joy with jolly spaghetti meal and aloha burger a La carte. Also ordered the mango peach pie and the coconut pineapple pie. It was delicious and fresh, and the workers were super friendly, wishing us a "jolly afternoon." We spent $18, which is incredibly affordable for Manhattan and also had leftovers. Bravo, Jolibee. Also very happy they had clean bathrooms. 5/5 Food 5/5 Value 5/5 Service read more

I have been wondering and wondering if the hype over jollibee was justified and today I finally got my answer. And that answer is yes!! Jollibee may very well be one of my favorite fast food joints from now on. The chicken is so crispy yet juicy and the gravy pairs so well with it. The spaghetti is on the sweeter side which I love. The macaroni isn't that special but macaroni is always good. I also tried to peach mango pie which I thought was okay. read more
