Top quality chicken and speedy service Chicken was super juicy, tender, and fall off the bone. Well seasoned and paired great with the gravy. The spaghetti was savory with hint of sweetness. Great pairing together Seating may prove difficult to find given this is the times square location, very popular with tourists. But on a good day out, you may be able to find seats outside in the shared space. Staff are professional and service was relatively quick for lunch rush on weekend read more

Jollibee (Located in Times Square) 1500 Broadway New York, NY 10036 Chickenjoy Perfect Pairs Combo Meal: 1-Piece Fried Chicken Jolly Spaghetti First and foremost, do not rely on an iPhone GPS to locate the Filipino restaurant because it will cause confusion. The fast food chain is located on Broadway between West 43rd. Street and West 44th. Street; it is next to Carlo's Bakery. Fried Chicken: This is undoubtedly one of the tastiest pieces of chicken. The meat was tender, juicy, and moist. It was covered with crispy, crunchy skin. I was initially reluctant to supplement the gravy with the chicken, but I quickly realized this was an excellent combination. Jolly Spaghetti: Originally, I never would have considered eating spaghetti as a side dish to the main course. As soon as I took a bite, I immediately realized I have been missing out. The tender noodles were smothered in a sweet tomato sauce with chunks of ground beef and hot dog slices. Shredded cheddar cheese was generously sprinkled on top. Each bite sent my taste buds to heaven and this The employee offered me a complimentary cup of tap water with the meal. I was extremely grateful for this gesture because a lot locations discontinued free tap water. The inside was very well kept with a decent amount of seating. As a bonus, Jollibee opens at 9:00 AM if you wish to get an early jumpstart on lunch. Although I really enjoyed this meal, I found out after the fact that I could have gotten a better meal deal. For the same price, I could have ordered a 1-piece Combo, which includes 2 sides and a biscuit. (The only catch is if you choose the Combo, both sides are served in smaller proportions; the Chickenjoy side was a single larger serving). The food combinations were unique, but this is overall a great fast food restaurant chain. Next time, I will definitely explore the Combo meal deal! #jollibee #jollibeetimessquare #jollyspaghetti #chickenjoyperfectpairs #jollibeefriedchicken #jollibeemidtownsouth read more

Came here for a bite to eat while me and my boyfriend were in time square and we were pretty happy with our experience. Service was pretty fast and our food was good. This was our first time having jollibee's and we enjoyed it but both agreed that it wasn't amazing or anything super special. The fried chicken was pretty good, gravy was great, biscuit was good, and the spaghetti was interesting. The sauce was very sweet and reminded me of bbq sauce. read more

Came right before lunch and there were already a handful of seated customers. Ordering is fast. They have kiosks, you can use the app or order in person. Pretty seamless process. Got the 10 piece chicken and an Ube pie. Love their chicken and how it still is delish even after I bring it home & air fry. Ube pie is good and not overly sweet. Nice that they sell merch in here as well. Recommend coming on off hours as it can get busy in the Times Square area. read more

I came to this Jollibee for an episode of a new Youtube show I'm doing, and it was kind of fun as I hadn't been to Times Square in years. Most New York residents don't set foot in the capital of consumerism unless there is family in town or they are going to the theater. I'm guilty of this myself. But this trip made me realize I've been too harsh. Between bites of fried chicken, spaghetti, and an Aloha burger, I observed families from all over the world being united by being completely overwhelmed by the flashing lights and an endless sea of people. As I saw these families experience the Crossroads of the World for the first time, it brought me right back to my 1st trip to New York with my Mom when I was 13. I was in awe. It was my first little jolt of culture shock. I felt like I was setting foot in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory when I first walked into the Times Square NBA Store back in 2009. This 2025 Jollibee trip brought me back to a time when I was the purest form of me, largely untouched by the stressors and responsibilities that come with adulthood. It's good to get in touch with that younger version of yourself every now and then, just to check in. Are you making little you proud? As I try to get more and more comfortable with being myself in front of a camera, I found Times Square to be a major security blanket. Eating food in front of a camera is about the least crazy thing you can do here. And for that, I am grateful... The Jollibee Chicken Joy is also straight GAS. As advertised.

Times Square had burgers... I chose Jollibee like a grown man with taste and zero fear Tried the KATSEYE Special KBBQ Chicken Sandwich Combo and I'm calling it now -- best fast-food chicken sandwich in the game. Crispy, juicy, smoky-sweet, and absolutely undefeated. Then I went full send: ube pie (criminally good), ube coconut freeze (rich, creamy, coconut magic in a cup), and that sriracha dipping sauce? Dangerous. I'd put it on my resume. They call it the McDonald's of the Philippines, but let's be clear -- this place has its own lane, its own swagger, and its own flavor universe. The service is outstanding, Loud, proud, purple, crispy... This is officially the wackiest, jolliest place on Earth. #jollibee #timesquareeats #fastfoodking #nycfoodie #foodreview read more

During vacations/trips I enjoy checking out a variety of food spots including fast food offerings that are unique. Maine is not a state that has a lot of chains besides the typical huge name ones. So for planning our NYC trip Jollibee stood out as a spot we had to try. I have seen many things about this place mostly on YouTube and other social media. Almost always positive things that have made me want to try it even more. I was a bit concerned thinking to being in Times Square the wait time would be absurd. To my surprise we ordered at the kiosk and our order was done quicker than many who ordered before us. The longest part of our wait was for our drinks, they seemed to struggle to have Diet Pepsi and their specialty drinks ready. It did seem chaotic for the staff to manage all of the orders. I will suggest getting it to go as the seating is extremely limited and during our visit they were all taken and swarmed when free. The crowds waiting for the orders took up most if not all of the other space available. To get a full experience we tried ordering a variety. My wife got a three piece combo with a side of mashed potatoes. I got their deluxe chicken sandwich with a side of their spaghetti. The chicken in both manners was incredible with the perfect crunch and not dry in any way. The chicken sandwich was huge compared to many other chains. Side wise the mashed potatoes seemed way more fresh with potato skin throughout it. The spaghetti was definitely unique with a sweeter sauce and hot dogs in it. My wife was not the biggest fan while I enjoyed it at least in the small portion. Only knock from five stars down to four is due to the location and the fact it's located in Times Square and the chaos included with that. Food wise, especially for fast food was phenomenal, a new favorite fried chicken spot! read more

I just wrote my review for the Jollibee in Delano, CA... it's only right I write one for this one-- my very first Jollibee experience. I've gotta say, it wasn't very memorable and nothing to rave about. They were super busy, of course, being in Times Square and all so I don't fault them for that. They were actually pretty quick with getting our order out... We didn't wait too long but it was a minute to find seats, even for just us two. I asked my Filipina friend what I should try and she said the ChickenJoy meal so that's what we got. Also added in one of their spicy chicken sandwiches. We got it with the biscuit and 2 sides-- mashed potatoes and Adobo rice. She specifically told me not to try the spaghetti so we avoided that lol and of course told us to try the pie. Because he placed the order, and he's not big on desserts like me, he did NOT order the pie on our first visit! Shameful (but that's what made me visit Delano). The food was mid, honestly. Yes, the chicken was good but it wasn't so good that I feel the need to go back. The sandwich was better... but not the best. I did appreciate the sauce and the fresh jalapeños though. Always prefer fresh. Mashed potatoes and gravy was basic. Just how you'd expect it to taste. & the Adobo rice I actually enjoyed (I'm a rice lover) but it's not something I would call delicious and tell you it's a must-have. Basically, this visit was a womp womp without the pie(s). Sorry, if it weren't for the pies... I'd probably never think to stop back here if I didn't absolutely have to. read more

Jollibee in Times Square is always an adventure! Since it's in the middle of Times Square, parking is obviously tough, so I recommend public transportation. Inside, I do wish there was more seating because this place stays packed, but that just shows how popular it is. We got the spicy chicken bucket, and it was delicious. Tender, moist, and with the perfect spicy kick. It also came with gravy. Service is fast and efficient, even with the crowds. We usually place a mobile order to skip the long lines, but there's also a kiosk by the entrance that makes ordering convenient. Overall, great food, quick service, and worth the visit...just be prepared for the Times Square chaos. read more

Jollibee is a popular Filipino fastfood restaurant. This branch is located at busy Times Square. Went here twice on two different days - one in the afternoon, the other in the evening. Depending on the time of the day and how busy it is, food can take a bit to be served. When it's busy, there may not be enough seats/tables for everyone. Got the fried chicken and spaghetti meal. The Chickenjoy fried chicken was juicy, crunchy and flavorful. Perfect with the gravy! Spaghetti was good. There is no pancit palabok in this branch. On the other night, got the Aloha chicken sandwich, deluxe chicken sandwich, and peach mango pie. Sweet and savory, the Aloha chicken sandwich had crispy chicken, bacon, lettuce, cheese, and pineapple. It was good! Peach mango pie was great. It can be very hot so be careful not to burn your tongue! Would have given this place a 5 if they had palabok and if there were more seats. read more

This spot is a classic fast-food joint, and the fried chicken is definitely the standout--it's crispy and well-seasoned, which I really enjoyed. I'd say that's what the place is best known for, along with the spaghetti. The spaghetti itself was just okay; the sauce is on the sweeter side and includes hotdogs and cheese, which might not be for everyone. I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, so I'm glad I finally did. The biscuits, fries, and peach pie were all just average--nothing particularly memorable. Honestly, I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again, but it was fun to experience it at least once. If you like spicy food, the spicy chicken is very spicy, which is a plus for heat lovers. The restaurant's decor is pretty standard fast-food style, but the service was a highlight--prompt, friendly, and attentive. For a New York location, I was also impressed by how clean it was inside. Overall, it was worth trying, but not a must-visit for me. read more

Even though everyone was so tired and ready to go home, their attitude was dry but welcoming, idk how to explain that. Honestly came in here feeling nice and hungry lol. It was literally my first time trying them too. But this is more like a popeyes, I would say a little better. The chicken is not overly greasy. Although, I love popeyes fries but these were unseasoned and basic yet still delicious. They have seats where you can sit down and enjoy your meal. For the most part food is given pretty quickly, which I'm sure is pre-made. I do love that they have the pure honey for the biscuits, YUMMY! read more

A taste of home with a heart We had a late-night visit on 11/12 and were absolutely delighted by the excellent service and high-quality Chickenjoy and spaghetti combo--comfort food at its finest! The highlight of our experience was Martin, the supervisor/manager, who went above and beyond to make sure our orders were correct and that we felt truly at home. His warmth and attention to detail made all the difference. There's a joyful feeling that comes with every Jollibee visit--not just because of the food, but because of the people who value you, make you smile, and remind you of home. Kudos to Martin and the entire staff for making our night so memorable. Salamat, Jollibee Times Square! read more

This was my first time trying Jollibee and it was DELICIOUS! The employees were so friendly at this location. It was also a very clean restaurant. * 2 pc Chicken w/ fries: 4.5/5 - The chicken was so fresh and juicy. It was falling off the bone. I was so impressed, especially because it was from a fast food place! The fries had no seasoning on them; however, they still had good flavor and were nice to have after eating the spicy chicken. * Katseye Korean BBQ Sandwich: 5/5 - I wish there was a Jollibee near me and that this wasn't a limited time sandwich. It is so yummy. The perfect amount of sweet and spicy. The cucumbers and cilantro add a perfect balance to the sandwich. Definitely worth trying!! read more

I finally caved and tried Jollibee fried chicken at times square. It is soooo much better than KFC or Popeyes. Their chicken is all dark meat, so drumsticks and thighs. My 3 piece combo came with a side of fries and a biscuit, along with a cup of gravy! Dunking dark meat chicken in gravy just took things to another level! The mango peach pie was delicious as well. If you haven't tried Jollibee, I highly recommend it. This location is at a great location, and you'll have to take public transportation to get there unless you wanna pay a boatload for garage parking. Right off the times square metro station. read more

price - $30 including tax food - 5/5 service - 4.5/5 ambiance - 4/5 overall, the food was AMAZING. if you dip the chicken into the gravy, it tastes SOOOOOO GOOD. theres so much flavor in the mixture of chicken and gravy too! the spaghetti was also super good!!! it is a little heavy so if you decide to get this, i feel like it would taste the best if youre really hungry!!! the passionfruit ice tea was good but it was a little on the sweeter side but the ice was able to water it down a bit to dilute the drink. overall, this was an amazing experience in terms of food. for this location, its definitely a tourist attraction so its pretty difficult getting a seat unless youre extremely lucky. the staff were moving fast and we got our order relatively quick. i love their interior design and colors as well!! it is a bit loud there cause its a fast food restaurant, but i highly recommend! read more

I had the premium chicken sandwich combo. The location is fine. It's clean and it has enough tables. The staff was fine. The chicken has great seasoning. The size is plenty. The chicken is very juicy and somewhat crispy (in the 90% percentile of all chicken sandwiches). It was made to order, which meant that it was hot to the last bite. Maybe the mayo was too much. The fries were fine - nothing amazing. I would go back for sure. read more

We waited way too long for a frozen coconut drink. Their machine was broken and took forever to fix. The spaghetti tasted very sweet (used to the tangy and savory sauces) and the adobo rice was mushy and bland.

I dunno if it's because this location is in Times Square but I paid almost $30 for the meal I had. Sure it's a hefty one but eh, it shouldn't have been more than $23 but that's my small complaint. I like how Jollibee is expanding throughout the NYC area. I recall when there was just one and that was in Woodside, Queens. Since then there's one in Jamaica that opened 2 years ago. One in midtown that I remember opening in late 2018 and I don't know when this one in Times Square opened up but it also looks pretty recent as well. It was pretty crowed, then again, it is in the city but it didn't affect the service or the quality of the food. Speaking of which I got my usual staple of a 2 piece w/ Adobo rice, which also came with a biscuit which is new and also something I could do without...the biscuit was the weaker part of the meal as it looked and tastes like the basic biscuit of KFC. Back to the meal, that along with the gravy which is always welcome to the meal and I decided to revisit the Double Aloha Burger, which I always call the "Big Kahuna Burger", for those who have watched Pulp Fiction, IYKYK. Jollibee chicken and rice always hits so good but the winner was the burger, as well it should be, that joint was almost $10 alone. It was a bit on the messy side, but the sauce, the texture of the beef, bacon, bun and that pineapple slice, It's like none other. I truly enjoyed my meal and it scratched my itch of wanting to have that burger after the last time I had it which was almost 4 years ago. read more

Jollibee - 2 piece chicken meal with two sides (steamed rice and spaghetti) - Filipino Near Me - New York, New York

Well first off, we don't have this place in ATL. It's not good to me. I had the 2 piece combo for $14.99. I wanted spicy chicken with Adobe rice and spaghetti. I was charged extra $1.50 per side. When I inquired, the manager stated that I should assume it will be more since they are premium sides. When I stated that was nowhere on their menu, he said idk i didn't create the menu. So anywho, the meal was $20.13 and I didn't like none of it. The spaghetti is sweet, the rice dry and flavorless. The gravy they provide helped. The pineapple drink was even weird tasting and the chicken pieces were super small. It's a one and done for me. Happy to say I tried it, I'll stick with Popeyes tho. Happily. read more

Tried this place out in the Philippines and was excited to have it back here! Didn't disappoint, quality was leagues ahead of other chicken fast food you can get in Manhattan. Nomz: Started with the basics and had a 2 piece, 2 sides meal. One piece spicy and one piece not, both were juicy and perfectly cooked with the spicy not being super noticeably spicy. Had mashed potatoes and white rice as my sides and wow those mashed potatoes came with gravy and were some of the best mashed potatoes I've had in a while, hit the spot. It also came with a separate side of gravy so I added that to my rice and yummmm. Service: There seem to be a lot of complaints about this in the reviews but maybe they upped their game. Cashier was super nice and manager was on top of every order and also super nice. Wait was a about 15min after ordering but I mean it's Times Square people. Ambiance: Set up like a fast food place, ordering counter and spaces to eat. Nope or Dope: Dope, this place is good quality stuff, can't wait to go back and try more sides! haha. read more

Jollibee is probably the most underrated chicken fast food restaurant in my opinion. It's a Filipino chain which has recently expanded rapidly in the United States with location in the northeast, Midwest and west coast. Jollibee is primarily known for its fried chicken and chicken sandwiches, but they also serve burgers, "burger steaks" and Filipino style spaghetti. Not many fast food places can boast that they serve spaghetti and rice as sides. I think that makes Jollibee especially family friendly because you Can eat it as a quick meal on the go but also take it home for a sit down dinner. This was my third time at Jollibee and my first time at this location. I usually go to the one on 8th Avenue but I can say that my experience at this location was much better. I ordered on Ubereats and my sandwich was ready much ahead of the scheduled pickup time due to a problem with their ordering system. I explained the issue to the staff and they made me a fresh sandwich so that it wasn't cold. They also took note of the issue with their ordering system to prevent it from happening. My sandwich was ready in a matter of minutes and I was able to enjoy. The Jollibee chicken sandwich is easily one of my favorite chicken sandwiches of all time. I dare say it's better than Popeyes (yes, really!). Every time I have it, it's so juicy. I don't know how they make it so good. I had my sandwich without mayo with just lettuce and tomato and it was still bomb. When possible, I would probably make the effort to come to this location instead since it's not too far from the 8th Avenue store. read more
