I was finishing up an errand in Lake Success and in the mood to try a new KFC (Korean Fried…read moreChicken) spot. Last time I was in town, I tried ~$100 worth of Pelicana Bayside, which ended up being a solid choice. Everyone loved it. This time, I checked Grubhub, Uber Eats, Google Reviews, and of course Yelp! Don Chicken Little Neck was the closest spot with the best reviews. I also noticed there's a Manhattan location, as well as several NJ locations (Ft Lee, Pal Park, Englewood, etc.), which is usually a good sign. I ordered a Soy Garlic combo (6 wings, 2 drums) + pickled radish for pick up--and yes, the aroma driving home got us salivating so much that we didn't bother reheating and just dug in. An obvious rookie mistake, but it still hit the spot. The drums were HUGE. For anyone new to Don, I highly recommend skipping wings and going straight for drumsticks (more bang for the buck). Next visit, new flavor. Perhaps spicy soy garlic.

However, the flavor is amazing and is easily one of my favorite spots! I usually get the soy garlic. But I had the ppuring last thing, and it tasted like the sour cream and onion pringle seasoning. Not my favorite since I can't get the flavor out of my mind.

My favorite food was their fries and great choice of dipping sauce. Their fries are crispy on the outside and very pillowy and soft on the inside.

They are a little on the sweet side but we definitely enjoyed the flavor and highly recommend it.

This update is for the Door Dash driving. I wish I could leave a half star…read more I ordered from Kokio Chicken & Beer using their delivery method which is Door Dash. I paid for a quick delivery of 30 minutes instead of the standard time 45 minutes to 1 hour. The food arrived within 1 hour, so I was ripped off for that. The driver never contacted me to let me know that he was at my address, instead he left it in the salon. How can you make a food delivery to the wrong address and think that's okay. The hair salon has chemicals flying around and a lot of people in the shop. This is totally unacceptable. I don't know who went in the bag. I have trust issues with my food being delivered to the wrong destination. I will never, ever, ever, ever , use Door Dash again furthermore I will never order anything else from Kokio Chicken & Beer. Angrily.... Inspire more, Yelp more!

It's easily missed if you don't pay attention. There wasn't much pedestrian traffic either. Business is mainly depends on spread of words from returning customers. Right opposite from the cafe is Jmart Chinese grocery store which is convenient. Cafe closes 6 pm daily. Self service. No tips needed. Service: wait staff was very friendly. Food time was quick. Owners stopped by the table and started conversation. It was karaoke time when we walked in. Food: - their milk tea was highly recommended to us. So four of us tried the hot and cold milk tea and hot milk tea / coffee combo. All of them were very rich in flavor and smooth, exactly what a milk tea should be. $4.75 for a 12 oz hot milk tea is reasonable. - French toast with peanut butter: Love the syrup that it came with. It has a distinct refreshing flavor with delighted sweetness. Definitely different from other syrup from other places which is just pure sweetness. Owner told us the syrup was imported from England. Highly recommended! - turnip, fish ball, rice roll: 3 in one bowl. Portion is enough to share - scallion chicken: It was recommended to me also. It was indeed very tender and flavorful. $24 for half a chicken with one quart of soup. Conclusion: will definitely return. Even just stopping by to pick up a flavorful milk tea which is cheaper than a sugary bubble tea.

OK, I'm finally ready to give my review!…read more I moved to Little Neck earlier this year and have been coming to Marathon Cafe pretty often. I was ready to give it 5 stars after my first few visits, but I wanted to try as many dishes as possible before rushing a review. After several visits, I'd confidently give it 4.5 stars. Here's everything I've tried and what I'd recommend: Beef Macaroni with Egg: A million times YES!!! Believe the hype because it's every bit as good as everyone says! It's the ultimate comfort food. The cellentani pasta is an elite choice, cooked perfectly al dente and coated in a sweet, thick, tangy tomato sauce that's flavorful without being overly acidic. This is an absolute must order! Creamed Corn with Fried Fish: Don't knock it until you try it! The creamed corn is thick, smooth, and naturally sweet, while the fish is perfectly crispy without being overcooked. It sounds like an unusual combination, but somehow it works incredibly well together. Tom Yum Seafood Noodle Soup: The broth is tangy, slightly sweet, and very comforting. I personally would've liked it a bit spicier, but it was still delicious. It also comes with large shrimps and mussels. Rice Rolls with Fish Balls & Turnip: A Cantonese staple done right! The rice rolls are soft and bouncy, served with the perfect balance of peanut sauce and hoisin. The turnip is tender, and everything comes together really well. Bolo Yau (Pineapple Bun with Butter): The pineapple bun is warm, fluffy, and flaky. Honestly, it's delicious even on its own. The thick slab of butter melts quickly, which makes it a little too oily... Drinks: The iced Hong Kong milk tea and the red bean ice are classic Cantonese staples. You really can't come here without ordering one. What I wasn't crazy about: Lava French Toast: Too crunchy and slightly burnt. It tasted over caramelized, with just too much going on. Not for me! Thick Egg & Spam Sandwich: Nothing special. It was pretty bland, and honestly, it's something you could easily make at home. Not worth the $7. Scallion Chicken over Rice: I don't really understand the hype for this one... The poached chicken itself was a little bland and could've used a little more salt. The ginger scallion sauce usually makes this dish, but here it did the opposite. The scallions were chopped too thick instead of finely minced, so all I tasted was scallion, nothing else. :/ Fried Pork Chop & Cheese with Curry Sauce: It was just OK. I wasn't a fan of the curry sauce. What I would recommend instead is ordering the fried pork chop on the side with their pepper sauce. I paired them together myself, and it was much better! For now, I've tried everything that was on my list, but I'll definitely keep coming back for my favorites. One thing I really appreciate is how consistent they've been with every visit. The portions are generous for the price, and overall it's a place I'd highly recommend if you're looking for solid Hong Kong style comfort food.

What happened to Bonchon? I love your crunchy soy garlic wings, but recently noticed the wings have…read moredrastically shrunk while the prices steadily rose. Bonchon faces stiff competition in the Bayside area. At one time they were the only "game in town" Now there are other Chain and Mom and Pop Korean fried chicken places popping up everywhere giving them competition. The soy garlic wings are still my favorite flavor as they deliver that sweet and savory crunch. What has got me baffled is the size of the wings which have drastically shrunk. It's like that 80's movie "Honey, I shrunk the kids!" In this case, the wings! As a longtime Bonchon fan. I also question whether my fix justifies the cost as generous portion sizes are no longer the norm, but the prices have gone completely off the rails. Bonchon also decided to phase out and limit its chicken promotions. Bonchon's culinary strengths remain intact though. The double fried chicken retains its iconic crunch, and the soy garlic sauce continues to strike a perfect balance of savory and sweet. I'm afraid Bonchon's pivot toward premium pricing and away from generous promotions reflects a challenging balancing act and risks alienating it's fan base. Come on Bonchon! Do the right thing. Bring back generous portions and reduced prices! Make Korean fried chicken great again! "MKFCGA" :)

Happy 250th to America, we wanted to go somewhere with no crowds at 730pm before all the fireworks…read moreshows began, and it was only 20% full here. The service was really good. We were asked by at least 5 servers if we were ready to order. Our 1st time here since it was formerly a Pizzeria Uno's. Our expectations were neutral. With all the DWI checkpoints expected, we had diet Cokes (no alcohol tonight) the bulgogi cheese fries, a large kimchi and the large drums and wings combo. Bulgogi cheese fries were crispy, crunchy and surprisingly good, not greasy. Large kimchi was served in a papercup, minced very finely, but ok, no complaints. Wing and large drums with the non-spicy garlic soy sauce were crispy, fresh, perfectly fried and juicy. Also not greasy, with a good crunch. Only bump here was the 85-ish degree interior temperature, HVAC woefully inadequate and supplemented with a single large standing fan for an approx 5,000 square foot space. Heat made the bare wooden picnic table tops very tacky and marginalized the eating experience. Also beware of the parking lot attendant whose abruptly confrontational demeanor may be alarming if you're not a native NY-er, otherwise just another rich cartoon character. Surprisingly satisfying chicken. Stick to the marquee fried korean style chicken and you'll be pleased. Just under $100 all-in for 2 people, no alcohol.

Especially the "Desi Boy" slice and the "white truffle chicken cutlet" slice. I also have to mention their vodka slice with sesame crust Everything in this place is high quality, even their regular slices. Their sandwiches are pretty incredible too, and you can tell that the bread is fresh made in house-- you don't feel bloated or overly stuffed after eating them! The owner is super friendly and even gave us a couple extra slices to try to complete our "pie" when we had already ordered a small variety of slices. The staff are all very friendly and it feels very comfortable and less stuffy than some of the other pizzerias in the area. Happy to give this place my business. Give them a try, you will be back for more!
