    Chicken sandwich
    Ziltoid The Coffee Snob C.

    I rarely review a place twice and when I do a few years have passed in between the reviews but making an exception for an exceptional place. I have decided these are my favorite chicken sandwiches in all of Queens possibly all of NYC. They have a few different ones and have trouble picking my favorite. They still have some of the best affordable deals and family packages available in the area.

    Chicken Wrap
    Julie T.

    Ok, I'm updating with an item I haven't had before: the chicken wrap. You think you know what a chicken wrap is? Not THIS chicken wrap. It's STUFFED with fried chicken pieces - YES! So good! And service is with a smile as always. She's the sweetest human ever.

    Chicken Wings Side
    Jack M.

    I got the crispy chicken sandwich meal with a side of chicken wings and a drink, and I chose the dark meat for my sandwich. The star of the show was definitely the crispy chicken both on the sandwich and in the wings it was expertly fried to a beautiful golden brown, maintaining a fantastic juiciness that's often lost in the frying process. The sandwich itself was a bit basic, however, with just their unmemorable bread and a slightly odd, sweet mayonnaise that didn't quite hit the mark. If I were to offer a suggestion, it would be to explore different bread options, perhaps something with a bit more texture or flavor to complement the chicken, and to consider a more traditional or savory mayonnaise. The service was excellent the girl behind the counter was friendly, nice, and helpful, which always enhances the dining experience. The place itself is a small shop on a quiet street in Forest Hills, with maybe eight tables, and they seem to do a brisk takeout business. It's a good spot for some well executed fried chicken, and I'd recommend giving it a try, but maybe skip the mayonnaise.

    Super Chicken Sandwich
    Tania C.

    Thanks to the facebook forum we were able to try so delicious food. The super chicken sandwich was super big, served on a soft sesame bun with Lots of great flavors, juicy and delicious. The nuggets also had great flavors and I can't wait for my son to try it. It definitely will be a hit. It was similar to a McDonald's nugget but crispier and juicier. The restaurant itself was very clean and had some good tunes playing. The owner was so pleasant and sweet. Hubby and I will definitely be back.

    Thank you note from PAPA Chicken.

    I picked up a paprika chicken sandwich last night at around 8:30 pm for my husband. He's ordered several times before that-- his favorite is the paprika chicken sandwich-- (with a choice of either white or dark meat). They made the chicken after my order was placed. The order was ready in about 10 minutes. If you choose to eat there, there are some comfortable booths for dining in. The portion size of the chicken is so large it spills over the bun, making this sandwich a shareable snack or if you're super hungry-- just devour the whole thing! If you take out your meal, be sure to request sauce on the side (so your chicken stays crisp and the bun doesn't get soggy.) Everything is packed well into a vented box with napkins, additional ketchup and...a handwritten thank you note which is a sweet and warm gesture! I hope you enjoy your visit to Papa Chicken as much as I did.

    First time here and will be back. The food was so good and portions were huge. Did chicken sandwich with 2 sides. If I knew how much food, I would have done 1 side. Didn't take picture of food because it smelt so good, I jumped in too fast. This was a nice touch, getting this note. I highly recommend this small local business.

    I don't usually write reviews, but I couldn't resist writing about this chicken sandwich. The chicken was very large, 7 inches long, a delightful volume, very juicy and impressive. The soft bun with plenty of sesame seeds was also to my favorite, and I felt satisfied after eating it. The chicken sandwich in the menu picture is small, but I am sure it will make you twice as happy.

    Salted Crispy Chicken
    Bingquan C.

    Pass by today and wanted to give it a try.. order a fried quarter leg. It is extremely huge and hot... it is the best quarter leg I have ever had...

The service here is extremely unbelievable good.. the lady infront is so sweet and adorable.. ops, don't tell my gf.Good try and will be back with my girlfriend

We were greeted with a complimentary popcorn, which was delicious! The waiter was also incredibly attentive to our table and made sure to check on us occasionally. The ambiance is dim, kind of like a bar restaurant without too much noise. It's a great spot for a date night out. We ordered 20 pieces of wings, half with soy garlic and the other half with mango habanero, tteok-Bokki (with cheese) and truffle fries. I personally do not handle spice very well, however the mango habanero was surprisingly good and not too spicy. In my opinion, I thought the tteok-bokki was spicier but not too spicy to the point where I couldn't take a second bite. Although I have been to many other Mad for Chicken chains before, this is my first time in the Forest Hills location and also my first time publishing a review for this restaurant. I would totally come back!

Quality here tastes better and cleaner than all other kfc places in the area(take out menu says customers can tour kitchen to check their cleanliness). This is my go-to korean fried chicken spot and I'm surprised it doesn't receive more business during the week. Parking might be slightly inconvenient, but usually I can find a spot relatively easily.

    What a neighborhood GEM!! Kuku Korean was fantastic! Fresh, tasty food at reasonable prices!…read more We (6 of us) were in the neighborhood for a Valentine's Day celebration and searched Yelp for a good ethnic restaurant in the area. We came across Kuku Korean and said YESSS, this is the place to go! The only wrench in our plans was that Kuku Korean doesn't take reservations; not even on Valentine's Day! They warned us that they expected to be very busy that evening, and to expect a wait. Ok, we made plans to go, but also made a Resy with another restaurant close by, as a backup plan in case there was a long wait for a table. But really, Kuku Korean was our preferred first choice. After our V Day event, we rushed over to Kuku Korean to see what the wait time was for a table for 6. It was just after 6pm, and the stars were aligned for us, because we got the last large table available! Woo Hoooo! Happy Valentine's Day to us!! We quickly cancelled our Resy with the other restaurant (sorry!) and perused Kuku Korean's fabulous menu. Our MENU (shared by 6ppl): ~ Seafood Pajeon ($24/large): Crispy battered pancake made with green onions & seafood (mussels, clams, squid, and shrimp). This was phenomenal! So much seafood and such a comforting dish...get this! ~ Veg Japche ($21): Stir-fried Korean vermicelli with Kuku soy-garlic Japchae sauce and assorted veggies. This dish was also available with various proteins but we opted for Veg since we were ordering other meat dishes. This dish was so flavorful and delicious. ~ Kuku Bibimbap ($24): Seasoned vegetables over rice, topped with a fried egg. Served with Kuku spicy bibim sauce. Again, you have the option of adding protein to this dish but we kept it veg. Another great dish! ~ Pork Galbi ($28): Char-grilled Pork ribs marinated in Kuku sauce, served with sauteed onions. Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. The pork was cut in thick slices, which was surprising, but wow, this was phenomenal! So tasty and lean, and just delicious. ~ Beef Bulgogi ($33): Sauteed thinly sliced beef rib-eye marinated in Kuku sauce with mushroom, Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. Another phenomenal dish. Bursting with flavor. -- Spicy Squid ($28): Stir-fried squid in spicy Kuku gochujang sauce, onions, hot pepper and carrot. Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. This squid was prepared perfectly; not over cooked nor rubbery! Great dish. - Ban Chan: generous unlimited servings; fresh & delicious. These 6 dishes, plus Ban Chan was perfect for 6 ppl to share. We finished everything and were fully satisfied. Every single dish was delicious and we ALL said we wanted to return to Kuku Korean to repeat some dishes and try new dishes. Customer service and atmosphere were great. The busser staff did an amazing job and were even more attentive than our server (who we only saw twice)...kudos to the bussers! They were so hard working, with a smiling, friendly attitude! Give them a raise! Looking forward to a return visit to Kuku Korean...hopefully SOON!!

We ordered waffle fries and asked for ketchup. When the bill arrived, we were shocked to see a **$2 charge for the ketchup**. At no point were we informed that there would be an extra charge. Not only was the lack of transparency frustrating, but this is also the **first restaurant in my adult life** that has charged for ketchup with an order of fries. It's not about the $2--it's about the principle. Charging for a basic condiment without letting customers know beforehand feels petty and leaves a bad impression. We genuinely liked this place, but this experience has made us rethink whether we'll be coming back.

The fact it was in a common neighborhood made it even more enjoyable of a visit! Now to the sandwich..This sandwich itself DEFINITELY lives up to the hype! It really is the REAL DEAL!! Maybe they should change the name to "Da Bomb", because it's that's good! However, through no fault of anyone, this is the learning experience I take back for my next visit: 1) Extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Potato Salad IF extra hot peppers! 2) Bring reusable containers for your sandwich, especially if you're not going home/ hotel right away. Next visit, which will be my next visit to NYC, I intend to try the roast beef and turkey hero, extra lettuce, tomatoes, onions, hot peppers. Overall, I still rate 5/5. They do a fantastic job here. Service is awesome, food is fresh, and the amount of food they offer for the price is well worth it. Definitely worth visiting again and again!!
