    Sweet Thai Chili Chicken Sandwich
    Kirstie C.

    These are the crispiest chicken wings I have ever had in my life. Even though the plane, chicken wings are a little unsalted for my personal liking they are cooked to perfection. Highly recommend especially the chicken sandwich options.

    This was the perfect afternoon snack ! I enjoyed all the things I ordered and that garlic fried chicken smelled so good I couldn't even wait to get home to eat it (opened it in the car) It was delicious ! That spicy garlic chicken was good too but very spicy ! The kimchi bacon fried rice was good and I also ordered a strawberry lemonade (so refreshing) It seemed like a mom and pop shop, the woman was veryyyy sweet. Its not a place to sit and eat tho . But I cant wait to come back I wish I knew it was so good before I ordered ... I wouldnt have only ordered 8 wings

    Really juicy and tender wings with a ton of flavor!

    We popped in here for a quick bite and were blown away!! The fried chicken pieces themselves were huge, cooked perfectly and SO flavorful! We got the half hot half garlic and the hot had a real kick to it and was a unique delicious spice, and the garlic was really great too very garlicky and just perfect. Couldn't decide which we liked more! We also got the side of radish which was suggested by the person taking our order and it went perfectly with the spicy wings, went well with the garlic too but especially with the spicy. We will def be back! This place is just excellent! We also saw a chicken bowl someone else got and it was a huge portion of chicken - seems like a great deal and would make two meals!

    I always walk past this spot and finally decided to stop in. The person behind the counter was really nice and answered all of my questions. I got the beef bibimbap bowl and is was delicious. The beef was tender and the Korean veggies were divine. Can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu.

    I don't eat meat... however if I had to choose a place to eat some chicken, this is the place. Trust me. I purposely don't come into this area because I know it's a 50/50 chance I'm going to dive into some KFC here. I'm a tough critic and 5 stars is not easy to get with me. You will love it. Live, love and laugh - SHA

    Very limited seating but there's a few high seats by the window for a quick indoor bite. Food came out roughly 10 minutes after we ordered. The food itself was super good. I personally got the beef bibimbap, but I had a bite of the chicken and the flavor was phenomenal so will likely get the chibop next time. The bibimbap also came with a small side of kimchi, which I loved. Everything was a bit pricy but the portions and taste do make up for it. I will definitely be back to try other things in the menu :)

    Super big portions of food that comes out steaming hot! The service is friendly and the spot is small with about 4 chairs by the window. I noticed a customer that was eating what I assumed to be the japchae and it looked amazing! I'm excited to try their other menu items on my next visit.

    TASTY GOOD!!!!

    Looooooooovin it! From the crispy chicken to the tots to the sauce! And you can't beat the service!

    The curry fried rice and chicken tenders will live in my mind rent free. Generous portions, big bang for your buck. The crispy fried chicken was juicy, crunchy, & didn't feel as oily as regular fried chicken - I'd recommend giving them a quick air fry if you're doing take out. The curry fried rice was super flavorful & nostalgic, a must order for me. Easy kiosk system to order and service was nice & fast. Seating is limited (~4/5 bar stools) so mostly a takeout place. Still dreaming about this place, I'll definitely be back next time I'm in NYC.

    Come to Nara chicken for the best chicken sandwich of your life. Stumbled on this spot after pivoting from Lindustrie due to the line and am so grateful I did! Food takes 10-15 mins but they're frying up the chicken fresh. Sandwiches are MASSIVE! Highly recommend the Thai chicken sandwich. Flavorful with fresh and pickled veggies and the juiciest chicken.

    Penny W.

    All of the food is so delicious and well made with generous portions! The chicken is crispy and juicy, the sauce is amazing, even the bowl tasted so fresh and well seasoned! I don't really post reviews often but this place deserves it

    Good fried chicken and bibimbap but I got a stomach ache after eating it. I'm unsure why. The fried chicken was delicious!

    Hands-down the best chicken I've ever had in my life and I'll die on that hill. I had seen this…read moreplace on social media and wanted to try it. When I visited New York a second time I told my girlfriend we had to go here. We had eaten a lot earlier in the day and I still insisted we come here because we didn't have much time left and I really didn't wanna miss out. The kimchi chicken sandwich was phenomenal, and the wings were out of this world. The sandwich in particular was so saucy which made it overall so flavorful. The wings are exactly what you'd expect and more - perfectly crispy, crunchy, and juicy. Was I full from our earlier meals? Yes. But stopping by here on our last night was the right call. Generally I'm easy to please, but when I went back home and asked my peers from NY what they thought about this place, they agreed that it was definitely good! It's unfortunate this location closed down but I'm glad there's still other locations that are open. I just hope they're still conveniently located when I plan my next trip. I literally don't stop thinking about this place when it comes to chicken, their name really fits!

    Service: 4.5/5 Food: 4.2/5…read morePrice: $$ ($20-30) Finally tried this place after like 4 years. Huge space that was completely empty on July 4th, probably bc everyone else was bbq-ing. I think owners are a Korean wife + white husband duo, which would explain the menu options (korean fried chicken + seafood boil). Not sure if it's true for just this location or the entire franchise. Solid fried chicken + fries whose crispiness stays for your trip home (at lease a 30 min commute). Tip: order sauce on the side so you have plain + sauced wings. What I Ordered: - Wings: on the smaller side - Sweet + Spicy sauce: indeed a little spicy for my weak tolerance, needed to pace myself - Soy Garlic sauce: classic - Sweet Potato Fries: soggy + plain- no seasoning (other places have cinnamon sugar?) - Truffle Fries: fragrant + crispy
