    Great little Taiwanese "fast food" or "snack" joint. We first encountered their little stand in the heart of downtown flushing inside one of them "mini malls" with small individual food stalls. This full restaurant on Bell Blvd took a while to open but the flavors are the same as what we loved in Flushing. Plus, they now some typical Taiwanese rice and noodle dishes as well. All super flavorful.

    Legend Chicken's 2nd location recently opened in Bayside. I've been (many times) to their Flushing location which is a teeny tiny stall inside Foody Town food court and was happy to see they have expanded to a bigger space. They are still currently in their soft opening stage and are offering an (abbreviated) Tasting menu all this month. They have also teamed up with Fortune Tea and have an expanded boba tea menu. We ordered: Legend Pops ($8): one of their most popular items is their fried chicken pops so I was glad to see it on the tasting menu. The chicken was lovely; was breaded nicely, seasoned well, and the meat was moist and tasty. Curly Fries ($7): perfectly fried, crunchy exterior and nicely seasoned. While I did enjoy this, I don't really know why I got it! You can get fries anywhere; I really should have gotten their Blood Rice Cake instead. Lo Ba Bun ($8): this Taiwanese Pork and Rice Bowl was a deal at eight bucks. It consisted of braised minced pork over white rice with a hardboiled egg and thinly sliced pickled radish. The minced pork was very tasty and not too fatty. My only complaint about this dish was that they were a bit stingy with the meat. Lots of fluffy rice but not enough meat. They currently only accept cash so plan ahead. Also, they are running two soft opening promos: get a free Jasmine Green tea with any $15 purchase or purchase a Snackbowl for $18.88 (Legend Pops, Fries, Jasmine Green Tea and Mochi Donut) Will definitely be back once they are out of their soft opening stage to try their expanded menu.

    Yay! So happy to see the legendary Legend Chicken come to the Bayside area! Taiwanese Fried Chicken snacks are a special little corner of the food world and whenever we miss our beloved trip to Taiwan, we think of Legend Chicken. But now we don't have to trek all the way to busy Flushing! It seems like they're still in the process of working out some menu and operational kinks - service was a bit slow and awkward but the food was just as we'd expected. Their signature Legend (Chicken) Pops were fresh and crispy and great. They also have other items like the Braised Pork over Rice (Lo Ba Bun), along with snacks such as Curly Fries, Blood Cakes etc. I couldn't get a photo of the Menu and can't recall if they had quite everything that's at the Flushing location but we'll be going back again soon! PS - They also have Fortune Tea drinks.

    Legend pop with spicy seasoning was delicious. Beef noodle soup was great as well. I give the beef 10/10 very flavorful and tender.

    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.

    Highly recommend the Korean fried chicken here. Unlike other places, the center of the chicken is…read morewell seasoned. It is a bit more self-service as you will have to ask for water and napkins. 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.

This was my second time here, and the food quality was lower than my first visit. The pig knuckle wasn't as soft or flavorful as I'd hoped. The salmon salad, which I loved on my first visit, felt a little dry this time around. The tom yum seafood with rice noodles was the star dish of the afternoon -- sweet, flavorful, and packed with a generous amount of seafood. Keep in mind this dish is only available on weekends. I'd come back a third time just for the tom yum soup. Service was good and the staff were attentive. Note: you order and pay at the register, and the waitress brings the food to your table.

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" :)

The chicken was incredibly crispy on the outside while staying juicy and tender inside. The soy garlic flavor was perfectly balanced not overly sweet or salty and every piece tasted fresh. The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean with a relaxed atmosphere that's great for both casual dinners and hanging out with friends. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. If you're craving authentic Korean fried chicken with great flavor and texture, this place is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.

    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.

In the morning after stopping by the Resort World New York by car, CL seems to be within reach and we seized the opportunity! We arrived at 11:25 AM shortly after it opened. Only two people in front of us and we finished placing the order by 11:30 AM. We were told there would be a 1 to 1 1/2 hour wait before the order could be ready. So, we lounged at the nearby Starbucks for an hour before returning -- a highly recommended option! After 1.5 hours, I asked for my name. Nothing. 1 hour 45 min, nothing. 2 hours, nothing. We thought this was ridiculous and confronted the ordering counter. Alas, they realized our "receipt" was lost. They promised to fulfill it right away; however, the next batch of ribs wouldn't be for another 20 minutes! It's turned out to be a total nightmare - 2.5 hours of waiting, with the 104° record heat to boot. I was plotting to slaughter the review as I waited; fortunately, the guy at the ordering counter knew how to make it right by giving us additional portion of proteins. So was the food worth it? Not with that amount of waiting but it was good. The dark chicken meat was moist and tasty. Chicken breasts were customarily dry, but the magical green sauce more than compensated for the dryness. That green sauce made this whole meal stand out for sure. It had massive amount of cilantro and garlic as far as I could tell. I'd like to think of it as Asian pesto. Although it's a "chicken" joint, everyone in my party unanimously preferred the ribs - uniformly tender and easier to eat. Oh, remember to grab some plastic gloves on your way out!
