I stopped by a food bazaar at 221 Manhattan Avenue for shopping purposes. While inside, I found Rockstar Chicken, a food place that caught my attention. Deana, an employee, welcomed me with a smile and suggested I try their chicken sample infused with soy sauce and garlic. The flavor was indeed impressive. Deana then showed me the menu and explained the various offerings, including specials and sauces. She highlighted the unique seasoning blend sprinkled on the chicken's exterior. Her professionalism and courtesy were notable. The distinct taste prompted me to order the chicken nuggets, coleslaw, and French fries with Parmesan. The side entrance being closed did not detract from my experience, as the food made up for it. Deana's introduction to their dishes was great, and I was satisfied with my purchase. I will definitely revisit with some friends. It definitely earned 4 stars from me. Alwayspositive read more

Service: 4.8/5 Food: 3.5/5 Price: $ (under $20) Pretty slow business. Tucked deep inside the 24-hour Food Bazaar, but not sure if it's also 24hrs. Good deals for decent KFC (Korean fried chicken) + a good variety (including non-chicken options). Would satisfy the craving + exceeds expectations for "grocery store" fried chicken, though not particularly impressive on it's own. Woman worker was helpful + thorough. What I Ordered: 4PC Boneless Combo - Chicken: salty + peppery, coupled with the Korea Sweet Chili (their version of yangnyeom?), quite spicy, I couldn't handle - Coleslaw: a little bland, not tangy, still provides a good relief between the wings - Cajun Garlic Fries: wing sauce overpowered their flavor, shoestring fries is a plus, not crispy, actually a little stale read more

Food is good but not being able to order whenever you want is a bit frustrating. They close on Fridays and Saturdays sometimes Sunday... it's sort of chicken you can only eat during the week if owners permit... unreliability is the reason for 3 stars read more

Tucked inside the Food Bazaar, you have an unassuming small Korean fried chicken operation. This Rokstar location is better suited for takeout than sit down since there's only two tables. For my visit, the woman working was easy going and helpful. It was a simple order on my end. I got the fried chicken tenders and truffle fries. I rapidly suppressed the thought that this meal isn't helpful for my cholesterol. So getting past that, I loved the enriching crispiness of the chicken and fries. Surprisingly it wasn't as oily as I had anticipated. I'll order from here again, without a doubt! read more

I had chicken from Rokstar Chicken a couple of times and the food never upsets or disappoints me. Just the wait time though, which you have to wait for like around 10 minutes because every order is made to order so they need to prepare and cook the food for every order. It is not premade so you know your food is fresh. I got the famous chicken sandwich with 1 side and 1 drink. The staff lets you add a flavor to the chicken sandwich and I got it with Cajun garlic seasoning, which is a dry seasoning. When I got the sandwich, I was surprised at how much Cole slaw was in the sandwich. Should have gotten the Cole slaw on the side. Did not really like how the wet Cole slaw was all over the sandwich and it was a lot. The chicken was very chunky and thick though! Lots of meat! Got fries on the side and added honey butter seasoning and it was so good! The fries were sweet and a hint of herb like taste! So good! There were many fries too! They give a lot! I got the Pocari sweat drink and it was another dollar more because I never tried it before even though I'm Asian. I know it's weird and I thought the drink was very small! I thought it was plain sweet yogurt drink and did not realize that it was fizzy! I finished it in a few sips so they should try to make the can size bigger. read more

Affordable and tasty Korean Fried Chicken! Pros: - We had the Soy Garlic Chicken Wings + Onion Rings + Coleslaw and Korean Sweet Chilli (non-spicy) Chicken Wings + Honey Butter Fries + Coleslaw combo meals. Large portions and everything was on point and flavorful. The chicken is fried well and the meat is tender and juicy. The Honey Butter Fries are addicting! We waited about 10 min to pickup the food (They text you when ready). - Friendly staff - Located inside a large Food Bazaar supermarket with a parking lot, you can get groceries and an affordable and delicious meal on the same trip! Note: - Better for takeout, as this place only has 2 small tables and 4 chairs. read more

Ooouuu this place is gooouuud! I first heard about Rokstar from a few food content creators I follow, and since then, I kept hearing the name pop up! First, as many others noted, Rokstar is located inside Food Bazaar, which is great bc you can shop around while you wait - but note, your order might take a little longer since everything is cooked to order! Good wings in life take time, they say lol. When you walk up to the counter, there's a self-serve tablet you can use to place your order but someone was at the front and helped us out! We ordered the shrimp combo w hot Korean chili on the side and the fried chicken combo spicy, w soy garlic tossed. Unfortunately there are only two small tables so we had to wait ~20 min to get home to finally get to the goods. And by goods, I mean the good goods bc wow, even after traveling in 20 degree weather for over 20 min, somehow both the shrimp and chicken were still crOnchyyy! The breading they use on both was so crispty crunchity savory and delicious! Chicken was juicy, tender and crunchy, and the shrimp was plump, perfectly fried and so so soooo flavorful! Def recommend getting the sauce on the side for the shrimp bc it's so good with or without sauce! Unfortunately the fries didn't hold up as well from the cold + time, but the spicy Cajun fries were actually spicy, and the honey butter fries were a bit sweet initially, but delicious with ketchup and the hot Korean chili sauce. The coleslaw wasn't my favorite type of coleslaw but it's the kind of coleslaw you'd get in Korea, if that makes sense. There was a moment while we were eating where I got a strong wave of nostalgia, taking me back to summertime in Korea as a young girl, eating KFC next to a river after a long day of playing with my cousins. It's a testament to Rokstar really getting their flavors right! There's no shortage of KFC spots across all boroughs, of which have their own pros and cons, but I think Rokstar's sauce is what differentiates itself! So I don't eat a lot of KFC or fried chicken, but if I crave it, I'd def get delivery from here. Not sure if I'd travel for the chicken, BUT I would def travel for the shrimp! read more

Rokstar Chicken Williamsburg - Inside - Chicken Shop Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Amazing Korean fried chicken wings. Crispy skin, moist inside and well seasoned. You can find this little hidden gem located inside the back of Food Bazaar supermarket. There's usually just one person there taking the order while another one cooks. The food is perfection and the sauce is also so good. The menu has a few offerings but I chose wings for that night. I'd definitely come to Rockstar Chicken again. read more

We came here on a Sunday and ordered 2 combo meals. The attendant was extremely friendly and helpful. Ordering was easy for combo meals - pick chicken, sauce, sides, and drink. We had boneless with sweet chili and wings with soy garlic. I loved the food and portions were great for the price. I personally preferred the boneless as it was big and juicy. We also had honey butter fries. These fries tasted just like honey butter chips, so they are worth a try if you like them. This place is located in a corner all the way in the back of Food Bazaar. There are 2 tables with seating for 2 at each. All of the food is made to order here, so I recommend ordering before shopping if you plan on shopping. Food takes around 15-20 minutes to be ready. read more

I'. Ve been coming to this chain since they opened here in New York. I'm glad they're finally close to where I live. It still has the same vibe, as it's tucked into the corner of food Bazaar, my regular grocery store. The staff is always friendly and helpful. This location is no different from the others. Fantastic customer service and food. There are a few tables and chairs, if you want to eat before making final food choices. A full person makes better decisions in the market. I pre-ordered online and was able to pick up a few things inside of the grocery store while I waited for my food. It came out piping hot as usual, fresh and delicious. I tried the spicy wings with soy garlic and Cajun garlic fries. It came with coleslaw and a drink for $15.99. What a great deal! I'm glad to see you guys in the neighborhood! read more

We ordered via Seamless on a week night. We have all been under the weather and cooking was out of the question. It was nice to have a nearby option that had great reviews. Our neighbors had great things to say so we decided to give them a try. We ordered a classic whole fried chicken with french fries. The delivery was timely however, the chicken was nothing to write home about. it was OK. The chicken and fries tasted like it was fried in old oil. It could have been an off day so I will revisit. read more

Location is great, right inside the Food Bazaar! We got the combo meals and cheese balls. The chicken was decent in flavor and definitely reheats at home well. It wasn't the best I've ever had but it gets the job done! This is definitely a post-grocery dinner in the making. I was hoping for more fries though, we opted for no coleslaw so I assumed we'd get double fries. Overall, the portion was smaller than I'm used to. read more

Heaven who took my order was very knowledgeable and helpful. She was super friendly. Great face to have at the counter. She gave me her suggestions. I ordered the 5 pc chicken with the honey butter fries which there weren't much that came with the order - but the chicken was AMAZING! The Korean spicy sauce on the side was just OK - will try a different one next time. I would definitely order it again. Fresh. Juicy. Crunchy and tasty! read more

I've been meaning to try rokstar chicken for a while and so I got it delivered with a friend. I got the combo with honey butter fries and the soy garlic chicken. My friend got the spicy chili chicken. The chicken meat was great as its chicken thigh and so it was juicy and tasted fresh. The soy garlic wasn't the best I've had though. My friends spicy chili was really good and it was definitely pretty spicy. The fries were just ok. I expected more from the honey butter. read more
