    Fried,  no ketchup
    Caroline N.

    This is the original location, when Jollibee opened in NY. Now there are multiple Jollibee locations throughout the city. Been here so many times, I find the pasta in the chicken spaghetti a bit too sweet for me. I used to come here for the halo halo, when I needed a treat or have a craving since it was the perfect size. Now, I come for the peach Mango or ube pie or if I'm thirsty, the coconut dream. It still gets crowded during the weekend lunchtime and the employees are always friendly and worth a smile (usually). There is a bathroom, which is always a plus!

    Man, Jollibee is not the same no more Been coming to this location for years and way before the hype. Everything has went downhill. First off, no spicy chicken. Came here 3 different times through out the year and each time, they say no spicy chicken at this location. WTF!!!! Came today and no surprise!!! No spicy chicken today either. Why not???? What made them stop making the spicy chicken?? Second, the peach mango pies are so tiny now. What happen!!!!! Looks like Jollibee is doing the same as McDonalds. They just cheapening everything. This is a sad day that the once delicious Jollibee is no more.

    Jollibee's has the best fried chicken out of all the fast food chains hands down. Order fulfillment on the other hand has been on a gradual decline since a few years ago. I think it's because they've started doing online orders from their app and food delivery sites in the same kitchen space. It seems to me that they might be overwhelmed with not enough space to complete all the orders in a timely fashion. Last visit, I placed an instore order and had to wait over half an hour for my food. This time in order to avoid that I placed an order within the app half an hour beforehand. It was 3 when I placed the order so the lunch rush should've been over. Once I got there, the app said my order was ready but staff couldn't find my order at the pickup area or the counter pickup. They went back to the kitchen to find out why so many people's orders were delayed and it turns out my order actually wasn't even ready yet supposedly due to an app glitch? So in the end, the order took almost an hour to be ready...PSA if you plan to place an order, do it at least an hour beforehand because if they can't even meet the hour quota, then they really need to work on the speed of completing the orders on time. There's been a couple of times where utensils or food items are missing from the order so be sure to do a quick check before leaving the store.

    I have been seeing reels on Jollibee for a while on social media. I always wanted to try it so after my nail appointment I walked to a nearby Jollibee. I ordered a 3pc chicken. They don't have wings so I asked for 2 thighs and a leg. I got 2 sides which I picked French fries and white rice with gravy. The combo came with a biscuit and soda. The place was packed with people. My food came out fresh and hot. I sat down and put on a movie and was ready to dig into my chicken. The chicken is crispy and juicy. The gravy was phenomenal. I dipped everything in the gravy. Everything was so freaking good. I can't wait to go back for more. I ate everything!

    For me, not many cravings hit as hard as fried chicken. Unfortunately, in NYC, I feel there is a lack of high quality restaurants serving this southern staple at a reasonable price. Hence, most normal people without an expense account tend to resort to fast food chains like Popeyes or KFC. Well, there is a better option that's been serving the Woodside neighborhood for nearly 15 years. Jolibee is a Filipino fried chicken chain situated in the heart of where their people live. Luckily, they serve everyone else too, so I love stopping here once in a while to get my fix. Tbh, I am not a sides person because nothing really blows me away at any of the chain restaurants. Same goes for Jolibee even though their sides are much more unique compared to competitors. Doesn't matter because I'm here for the chicken. Speaking of those delicious pieces of poultry goodness, their version is always consistent. The batter is not greasy like Popeyes or too thick like KFC. Instead, it's perfectly crispy with a thin coating of batter. As for the meat, it's juicy and flavorful every time. Not sure if they brine overnight, but that would be my guess as to why it's always so good. Is this the best fried chicken I ever had? Of course not. I can't compare it to my favorites such as Hattie B's in Nashville or Willie Mae's in New Orleans. However, when you need a quick fix and don't want to overpay for simple home cooking, then I feel like Jolibee is a very good option.

    First of all, the chicken is over brined which resulted in the chicken being very salty and some of the meat looks bruised from underneath. But this is not the main issue. We got two buckets of fried chicken, 1 being spicy and the other one not. We must hit the lottery or something since all 5 people who ate jollibee that day got food poisoning that lasted up to 3 days with diarrhea, bloating and some nausea. We also got some sides, mashed potatoes( tasted oddly floral, cant explain it), fries, cold slaw (this one tasted disgusting, why is it so sweet???). I would not recommend the fried chicken here for health concerns. The chicken also tastes below average for all the jollibee hype. Im starting to think they're selling unhealthy injured chicken with all the bruising on the meat. Please go to Popeyes or anywhere else to save yourself from shitting your guts out for days.

    A true Filipino staple! I went on a Saturday afternoon so it was pretty packed, though I managed to get a seat. I've had Jollibee before, and the spaghetti is not my favorite (had it with pineapple juice and it was a disaster for my tummy, but the crispy chicken is definitely fire.

    Omfg! I finally get the hype. As I'm typing this i'm salivating. Spicy is too much for me even with my decent tolerance level. Crispy crispy flavorful chicken. There's usually a long wait. Forget trying to order doordash/uber eats on super busy days. I got the "unable to fulfill your order" on a Saturday lunch period. I haven't gone into this restaurant yet, maybe someday. I hope they open up more stores and keep this quality going. Kids ate my pies so i can't write reviews on those

    Juicy and crispy

    I could already smell the fried chicken 3 blocks away on my way to pick up my order. Yep Jollibee is best known for its fried chicken which is known as "chickenjoy". It's a Philippines-based chain with 1500 restaurants worldwide, but only 71 in the US. Even in the NYC area there are only 4. So it is still up and coming. We first tried their spicy chicken sandwiches. I would say it's better than Chick-fil-A. What I like about them is the buttery buns and the fact that the batters are not very salty. They absolutely need to put more of that spicy sauce than a tiny dab of it though! We liked it so much that we went back the second day for their Anniversary Bucket. It's 12 pieces of joy for $25. There're 6 drumsticks and 6 packs over 2 buckets and came with 2 cups of gravy. The drumsticks were exceptionally juicy. The backs are OK, being mostly batters. Their mobile app, on the other hand, is a total fail. We tried ordering separately on our respective phones but none of us could get through the payment process. We gave up. It's a bit better after switching to online order using the web browser; still, our attempts kept getting rejected because the restaurant are so backed up that by the time we were ready to submit the order, the pick up time became invalid. We literally changed our pickup time from ASAP to 1:00, 1:30, etc when we first started using the app. By the time we finished ordering using the browser, the available pickup time became 3:00 and 3:30 our 2 orders! The next day when I tried again for the Anniversary Bucket, and the pickup option was removed for this location because it was totally swamped. We ended up ordering directly at the restaurant. Food was 5 out of 5, but the ordering process was a nightmarish 1 out of 5. Tip: There is a motion activated faucet right next to the fountain drinks. Very convenient to wash your greasy hands.

    Is this place permanently closed? I just walked by, and it was boarded up with a "closed" sign on the door, and there were construction workers walking in and out. Hope it's just being renovated and isn't closed forever.

    They posted a sign they would be closed from the 20th for three weeks. I posted a photo of the sign already. If you click pictures then menu, it shows the sign as a menu

    Do you guys have halohalo yet?

    What happen to the breakfast joys?

    Mhm? What happened to them? I love their egg salad recipe(https://sweetandsavorymeals.com/classic-egg-salad-recipe/) with diced celery, chopped pickles, and herbs to enhance the flavor and texture.

    Are they still open with this coronavirus going on? What is the business hrs on weekend?

    They're open to go only. Not sure about the store hours

    No it’s not

    Is the chicken still halal?

    Prob not. My best bet is that it's not....

    Do they serve chicken breast/ white meat?

    Went for the first time today. No white meat chicken. Very odd. Not interested in that type of chicken. Others may, but not my favorite, so I won't be eating there.

    Did they change the spicy chicken recipe? I got it today, and it wasn't spicy at all! What happened to the spicy powder they used to sprinkle on top?

    Yah sadly!!! I want them to bring the old spicy powder back !!! I'll sign a petition

    Raising Cane's keeps its concept incredibly simple, focusing almost entirely on chicken tenders,…read morefries, Texas toast, coleslaw, and its signature sauce. We walked into a bright, clean, and energetic space with a fast-paced atmosphere that reflects how popular the chain has become. Even with a line forming at the counter, the staff kept things moving efficiently, and the operation felt well organized considering the volume of customers coming through the door. The dining room has a casual, functional energy, the kind of place where the focus stays on getting a satisfying meal rather than lingering, and the open kitchen adds a layer of transparency to the process. We went with one of the tender combos, which is really the reason most people come here in the first place. The chicken tenders were juicy, freshly cooked, and had a crispy coating that held up well without feeling overly heavy. The coating had a good crunch that stayed intact through the meal, and the chicken itself was moist and tender throughout. The real standout, though, is the Cane's Sauce. It adds a tangy, peppery flavor that works perfectly with the chicken and honestly ties the entire meal together. Between the tenders, crinkle-cut fries, and Texas toast, it is a simple meal, but one that is executed consistently well. The toast is buttery and soft, and the fries are solid enough to hold their own alongside the main event. One thing we have noticed is that the chicken can occasionally feel a little greasy depending on the visit, especially if you are ordering a larger combo. For some people that may not be an issue at all, while others might find it sits a bit heavy afterward. That has varied from visit to visit, but it is worth mentioning because the meal is definitely on the richer side compared to some other fast food chicken options. The coleslaw provides a lighter contrast, though it is a fairly standard version of the side and does not stand out the way the chicken and sauce do. The staff during our visit were friendly and efficient, and the restaurant was well maintained. Food came out quickly, and despite the limited menu, there is something refreshing about a place that focuses on doing one thing rather than trying to offer dozens of different options. The simplicity of the menu makes the decision process easy, and the consistency of the meal across visits is a big part of the appeal. Raising Cane's delivers a satisfying chicken tender meal with quality chicken, a great signature sauce, and consistently solid sides. It may not be the lightest meal around, but when you are in the mood for crispy chicken tenders and a straightforward comfort-food combo, it is easy to see why so many people keep coming back. The meal is familiar, filling, and hits the right notes for what it sets out to do.

The Cajun seasoning completely covers the fries, which I like (give me -all- that seasoning!), so it's got really good Cajun flavor. The sauce added some sweetness to the fries.
