So you know this place is connected next door of Food Bazaar supermarket. It's a small window. Something you could possibly miss. You can either wait at the window or have them text you when it's ready. They were quick and staff made sure food was extremely hot so we could enjoy. I ordered buffalo and Korean sweet chili chicken tenders. Chased by non alcoholic drinks Pocari sweat and milkis. Tenders were full of flavor and not dry at all. Drinks were real good too. Give it a shot and don't let the placement fool you read more

Rokstar Chicken Long Island City - Chicken Shop Near Me - City, New York

I got this chicken to-go and it was delicious. Here, they have a variety of different chicken styles (wings, tenders, whole chicken, etc.) as well as both dry rub and sauce. I got their mala dry seasoning as well as their hot soy garlic (on the side). The chicken was amazing. Not only was it super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, but it also wasn't too bready or dry. Loved the radish on the side as well. Will definitely be coming back. read more

Rokstar Chicken Long Island City - Chicken Shop Near Me - City, New York

We always order delivery from here, and it's always come super fresh and still crispy! My fave is the Honey Butter flavor, and then the Honey Garlic. Most recently we discovered that they took the cheese balls off the menu, which were super addicting. I really hope they bring it back! read more

My Review is solely based on their chicken tenders... Rokstar ??? I don't think so..... I finally hit this chicken spot this Friday night 6/13/25 Around 7:pm; I work in the area and have been passing this spot for some time now... FYI; Its not a store front / brick & mortar its set up like a concession in the parking lot of Food Bazar super market... A very nice & clean set up & there is plenty of parking... The Young lady at the widow was very polite & walked me thru their menu... I order a 6pc chicken tenders With their soy garlic sauce ion the side @ 17.99 1st; My tenders were not so tender in fact mine were tuff to chew... 2nd; The Breading; for me it was very bland no seasoning; FYI, I opted for my sauce on the side Soy Garlic Bbq ....... Also my breading on my tenders was falling off and mind you I ate them in the parking lot as soon as they were ready so we can't blame it on the steam from the bag.... I wanted to so Like this Korean chicken spot especially after reading all the positive reviews but for me, it was just ok ..... Would I return again? Yea maybe if I'm passing by & extremely hungry... Would I highly Recommend; Not really because Mad for Chicken, Bonchon Chickem & Kuku Chicken set the bar really high .... Their chicken & their soy garlic sauce hit different..... Give them all a try & let me know !!!! Thanks, Greg D & family read more

Probably the best Korean chicken I've had in awhile. I always get their boneless and have experimented on their sauces. I think the best combo for me is the spicy dry rub paired with Korean sweet chili and the jalapeño mayo sauces. I also recommend their fried kimchi dumplings which is fried to perfection in its crunchiness. It's a small spot outside food bazaar and you can only dine in at the food court, but I love close enough where I could order delivery and it's still hot and the chicken is crunchy without any sogginess, I highly recommend this Korean chicken a try! Especially because it's also halal for those with dietary restrictions due to religious beliefs. read more

Rokstar Chicken is a small booth outside of Food Bazaar serving Korean fried chicken which is also halal. It's made to order so it does take about 15 minutes for the order to come out but they will text you. There is a small food court inside Food Bazaar to enjoy the food. We got a five piece boneless combo that comes with a soda, coleslaw, and a choice of one side. The coleslaw is just cabbage but not bad tasting. The boneless chicken is juicy. Don't get honey mustard, it's too pungant. We also got some wings. The soy garlic was a bit salty but the honey butter was delicious. read more

Great chicken Personal favorite is the soy garlic - my dad's favorite is the hot soy garlic (actually pretty spicy, I can't enjoy more than 3 before I can't handle it) Always get the radish on the side If you can pick 2 flavors, you can get the Cajun seasoning (on all of them) and the dip! I usually get the dip on the side Pro-tip: pick up a beer from the food bazaar next to it and enjoy together! read more

I've been coming to Rokstar chicken since it opened at Food Bazaar. I usually get the tenders because I'm a "white meat" person. My choice of sauce is typically the soy garlic BBQ, but the Korean sweet chili is my next option. You can get it tossed or on the side, but I tend to get it tossed to avoid one extra step of dipping. Chicken tenders were HUGE and very juicy. White meat tends to dry if overcooked, but these tenders are not. The kimchi fried rice is delicious, too! It's not too spicy and has lots of flavor for each bite because the added spam is a game changer. Their chicken wings and drumsticks are good, too! The original is very juicy and well-seasoned. I haven't tried all the sauces, but the staffing are very friendly, so if you're unsure which sauce to get, ask them. If you can't wait to go home to eat it, the food bazaar has a sitting area inside, so you can eat it there. read more

Honest Elite Review... The good and the bad? Chicken 7/10 (soggy in parts but big portions) Calamari 3/10 (small portions and also soggy and oily no flavor) Fries 7/10 (not bad esp with the flavorings added Coleslaw 7/10 nice balance of greens and not too much mayo which I like. The Good: 1.There is seating inside of Food Bazaar next door so you can eat your food in peace. Multiple seating, free. 2. The Price for the chicken combo wasn't bad, I have the Boneless chicken in the sweet sauce (non spicy) and it was decent. It is all dark meat except if you get the tenders I believe. 3. Their blue cheese sauce was fantastic Bad: The Calamari was TERRIBLE. Soggy, and for the price of $12 for a small box it was not worth it at all. 3/10 The place felt very "fast foody" some people ate in their cars but they did interact me there was seating inside. I was really disappointed in the calamari being the way it was. Overall with the chicken combo we had it to share and felt full. read more

This is my second time coming here. I wanted to try another item off the menu. The service was great, but the chicken was the same. I got the five pieces of boneless chicken. Getting a sandwich is the samething as getting tenders and boneless chicken as its just two pieces of bread laid on top of the meat. Maybe wings are different from the rest. I did get a different sauce from last time, but in general everything was similar. Price point wise the boneless is a dollar cheaper. read more

Huge parking lot in a busy area. Seems like it's a dine out only type of place since I only saw a window to order. Wait was as expected. A classic combo meal was ready in 18 minutes. You get a text when it's ready. Chicken/sauce is spicier than average. read more

Rokstar Chicken Long Island City - Chicken Shop Near Me - City, New York

It looks unassuming from the outside (located in the Food Bazaar supermarket) but they have the best Korean fried chicken! The boneless chicken was crispy on the outside and veryyyyy juicy and tender. I also liked the fries as they were crispy and not oily. The only miss for me was the coleslaw, it was way too sweet for my taste. It took about 15-18 minutes for my order to be made so just factor in that time. read more

Ordered: 5pc Wing Combo Meal (~$14): Hot Soy Garlic with Cajun Garlic Fries, Diet Coke, and substituted Pickled Ginger Aya's take: I love Korean fried chicken and was super excited to try Rokstar Chicken. Located adjacent to Food Bazaar, there's no dedicated seating area but there are tables inside the supermarket if you wanted to eat it fresh The 5pc Wing Combo Meal is an incredible deal for the price. Soy garlic is usually my go-to flavor with Korean fried chicken but I decided to get the Hot Soy Garlic which I was warned would be spicy. And let me tell you, it was! I typically tolerate medium levels of spice and this was starting to get to me. The Wings are crispy yet drenched in the Hot Soy Garlic flavor. I ate it right away so the wings still retained the crispiness but not for long. The Cajun Garlic Fries also had a bit of a kick to them; I didn't get much garlic taste, it was mostly just the cajun powder. I also SO appreciate that the worker let me swap the coleslaw it typically comes with for pickled ginger. I love the pickled ginger as a palette cleanser and broke through a lot of the greasiness of this meal. Overall, it's an amazing deal, great flavor, and awesome customer service. Definitely recommend! read more

Rokstar has easily become one of my top spots to go to when I'm craving some Korean fried chicken. When I first tried it at the Douglaston location, I was in love so I'm glad that they're opening up in more locations! This spot was different in that they have a shop on the outside of Food Bazaar and it's more like a concession stand. All orders are to go, and they package it nicely so that the chicken remains crispy. However, if you do want to eat it right away, there's a food court in this Food Bazaar (on the left of the entrance) with plenty of seating. It is a bit loud with people shopping around, but you can enjoy the fried chicken fresh. I love getting their wings cause it's always big pieces that are fried to perfection. I tried their boneless chicken this time around and these were also huge pieces of dark meat that was very tender on the inside. My favorite seasonings/sauces have to be the cajun garlic, soy garlic, and hot soy garlic. They also recently came out with a honey butter seasoning that you can choose for your fried chicken or fries! It's everyone's favorite honey butter chips but paired with fried chicken! Make sure to try out the new jalapeño mayo sauce as well. It's not spicy at all and very creamy, serving as a delicious dip for fried chicken, fries, or even their other sides! Also highly recommend the sweet mozzarella balls. It has the best cheese pull and the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Plus, that crispy outer layer provides a great contrast in texture. It's now my new favorite side on their menu! read more

It's really hard to find perfectly crispy and juicy Korean fried chicken and Rokstar definitely delivered. Amazing on all ends - even their fries and fried shrimp were fantastic! I would say I wish they had more to offer, but it's obvious that having a small menu has yielded the great result of them having mastered a supremely tasty crunch and flavor (try the chicken tossed in their Korean sweet chili sauce!). Lest I forget the portions match the price. Love love love, they are staying on my monthly rotation! read more

First time, my bf brought some chicken from Rokstar as it was next to a singas pizza. He just thought, why not!? Plus it's halal! He ONLY brought a bucket of 20 piece chicken, which was sauced with soy garlic BBQ. He brought it home and it was still good! It wasn't super hot but still hot enough. The chicken itself was moist and was not dry at all. The batter wasn't super crispy but just enough that there are crispy pieces and you won't hurt yourself from eating the chicken. Yeah, your grandma can eat it and shouldn't have a problem. The outside layer of skin and sauce was SOOO good! It has such a sweet taste but not overly and sickeningly sweet. It really went well as a whole. We had singas but I just pushed those pies aside to devour the chicken. The second time was last night. We ordered the chicken with soy garlic bbq sauce, onion rings and kimchi dumplings. I'm not going to go over the chicken cause it was as good as the first time!!! To ensure there's some balance, eat the pickled radish. It's very good. The onion rings were good, they weren't super crispy since we ordered take out but it was still decent enough. If you threw them in the air fryer, they should crispy up nicely. The kimchi dumplings were BOMB! They were fried and came with 6 in an order ( I believe?) They have a kick due to the kimchi but they were very good. I'm happy they even offered kimchi dumplings since a lot of chicken places, don't. Just usual pork dumplings and whatnot. My bf said it was the best part of the meal. All in all, yeah. I will come again. The chicken is pretty pricey but I think this is deff good for those that practice Muslim and can only eat halal. This place is an option. Also, halal meats are pricey due to it's special preparation anyways. So..yeah read more

Had never heard of this fried chicken place. WE were driving and saw their gigantic, red sign at the Food Bazaar on Northern Bvd (around Steinway in LIC/Astoria area). Hey, it's fried chicken! We had to give it a go. To our surprise, the place is basically just a take out stall. No dining in. Oh, wells! Got a whole fried chicken and a side of fries. It was around $50 (sorta pricy if you ask me). You get to select two sauces for your chicken. We went with the soy based one and the sweet chili one. "Someone" chose to go with the Honey Butter Fries. The chicken was "OK". Def. not like Popeyes (overly battered), closer to KFC. The sauces... they were both sweet (as for many things with Korean marinade), not gonna lie, I hated the chili one. It, IMO, had a hint of kimchi flavor to it. The soy one was sort of a 5/10 when I first started eating it... but it sort of got addictive when I combined it with the Honey fries, lol! I don't think it was a great value, but I am still interested in trying their other fry flavors, mochi donuts and beef dumplings! =D read more

Fast friendly and delicious... loves the dark meat chicken since it's juicier. Usually will place an order first, then go shop around in the food bazaar market.. by the time we finish shopping, fresh hot delicious wing waiting for us nice and ready read more

Rokstar Chicken Long Island City - Cajun Spicy BONELESS - FULL - Chicken Shop Near Me - City, New York

Want to share my experience with Rokstar chicken. We ordered whole boneless chicken and got spicy because it was recommended that it was popular to general public. But I DO NOT recommend this. The spice level was too high and it's normally not this spicy. My gf and I ended up staying up all using the bathroom. This was TRULY the single most regrettable consumption ever. The consistency was not correct as we've ordered from Rokstar in the past and at same spicy level. So this brings me the concern of how consistent are they? We can't trust this and cannot have the chance to experience this again. But the service of getting the food was no issue. And the restaurant atmosphere was fine and the packaging of the food was fine read more

I had totally not expected this location to have been in a shack in a shopping center parking lot with no seating and that I'd be eating my chicken on the sidewalk at like 9pm but it was an experience indeed. The girl at the register was absolutely stellar, extremely bubbly and warm and answered all questions with a smile. She was probably the best part of all this. Some of the menu is actually now halal which was why I was so eager to come and try some legit Korean fried chicken. The food actually took a while coming out to the point I thought maybe they were slaughtering the chicken fresh in the back or something. Jokes aside, it came out piping hot. My only gripe about it was that despite the chicken being hot and crunchy, the bun was cold???? That took me totally by surprise. Would've loved if it was warmed up a little and softened or toasted in the slightest. The cold and hot feeling of the bun and chicken was not so satisfying. I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and they for sure delivered on the spice. I was very pleased with that. The coleslaw was slightly sweet and so well diced it was slipping and sliding out the bun. As for portion size, it was a big burger indeed and I was very pleased with that. I think I might've just gotten the wrong menu item because it definitely didn't impress me. Flavor wise it just sorta fell flat aside from the level of spice. I will definitely be back to try their other chicken and hopefully will have the chance to rate this higher. read more

Located in the parking lot of the Food Bazaar supermarket LIC, this was a pleasant find late in the evening when craving some Korean Fried Chicken. We ordered the full order of wings (20 pcs) with Soy Garlic sauce and it was so tasty and delicious. The sauce is on the sweet side with a hint of honey flavor but savory as well. The wings were a medium sized wing and contained very light batter on the outside to soak up the delicious sauce. Fries were good too but a little pricey for $5.99. Orders are made fresh so can take 15-20 minutes but you can pop in to the supermarket while you wait. They text you when the order is ready. Will think of stopping by for a snack again when in the LIC area. read more

It's ok, but could have been better with better portions. Service was ok. Ambience is fair in a parking lot.

I've seen this place for the longest time while walking in to Food Bazaar and finally decided to make an order online to go while shopping. I ordered the 5 piece dark boneless (spicy) with Hot Soy Garlic BBQ on the side with fries. First of all, the turn around time was great because it was ready in less than 15min. I'm going to chalk that up to it being the middle of the day because there were occasions the line trailed at 10-20 people. I did not get the food as soon as it was prepared because I was still shopping however, the chicken still had some crunch to it and was not soggy. The spice permeated through each bite! I'm glad I got sauce on the side because I was able to adjust how much flavor without it possibly being drenched. The spicy was sweet, hot, and spicy! Not a burn your mouth spicy but a nice heat with flavor. I had shoe strong fries but there other options available on the menu. Again, not super crunchy/crisp because of the time it took me to pick up my order but still tasty and not mushy. Cole slaw gets no rating from me because I don't care for cole slaw, lol. They do not sell the sauces individually (yet). My wife spoke to the gentleman at the counter who said it is something they might be working on. The gentleman at the counter was very nice and professional. From my view in to the cooking area everything appeared clean with no observable unsanitary conditions. Price point wise, I don't know how often I'll be making a trip but, you definitely got a fan here. read more

Not sure if this place is just totally different than it's other location that has four stars but this one was lackluster. The best things were the plain tenders. Fried well definitely get the sauce on the side. We had ranch (not great) and spicy ranch (slightly better) The fries had seasoning but weren't flavorful The boneless wings are thighs but we're hard to cut through with all of the sauce and weren't cleaned well a lot of the connective tissue and fatty parts were still there same goes for the sandwich it's the same meat maybe it would have been different if we didn't have the sauce on it. The bread was soggy the coating was soggy just not a great experience. With all of the rave on the Douglastons page about the boneless wings I definitely expected something to write home about but this was not it at allllll. read more

Takeout Korean fried chicken at its finest. Spicy with soy garlic glaze. Crispy and delicious hours later.

This must be the worst fried chicken I've ever had. As a Korean who loves Korean-style fried chicken more than anything, I am utterly offended. I came here because it was recommended but it will be my first and very last. The worst possibly quality chicken known the mankind. Full of digestive tracts running all over the chicken and the fried chicken was full of chicken hair everywhere. Filthy and disgusting, not well cleaned or cooked. And no, it did not taste good either. Dry and bland. I would eat any KFC or Popeyes over this. You could not pay me to eat here again. read more

Hannah K was super kind and the food was so good, I came here with my friends and the order was efficient and tasty!! Thank you!!!

This was my first time having Rokstar chicken. Sat next door in Food Bazaar to eat it. My husband mentioned it's very popular on TikTok so we gave it a try. We ordered a half order of wings with sweet chili sauce (sauce recommended by staff). It was steaming hot and crunchy. Meat was juicy. BUT the sauce was really underwhelming and a bit too slimy. I think we just ordered the wrong thing... Sweet potato fries were bland and despite having eaten them right away, they were already soggy. Overall opinion, it was not worth the 15-20 minute wait. I probably won't return again. read more

Rokstar Chicken Long Island City - Sweet chili WINGS - HALF - Chicken Shop Near Me - City, New York

Your first thought when walking by this spot might be, another Korean fried chicken spot? I know, it seems like there's one on every corner these days, and trust me, I know because I've tried most of them. This spot just hits different. We got the whole chicken in two of the traditional KFC flavors (Korean Sweet Chili and Soy Garlic BBQ) and they did not disappoint. I love how they don't overdo the breading the way some spots do, and I don't know what they're doing to the chicken but it's so juicy with a perfect amount of crisp when you bite into it. The amount of breading and level of frying is obviously a highly controversial topic that can make or break relationships so we may want to agree to disagree, but I think something we can all agree on is that the chicken here is damn good regardless of how much or how little breading they use. The chicken sandwiches were also a must-order, and if you're a chicken sandwich enthusiast you won't want to miss Rokstar's take on this classic entree. The same delicious chicken that I just mentioned, except this time there's cole slaw drizzled on top, all nestled in a pillowy soft bun. It's a take out spot only (or delivery of course), but there is a food court right next door in the supermarket where you can sit down and enjoy everything, which I'd highly recommend because you want to eat this when it's fresh. Don't walk, RUN. read more

Food was horrible. Ordered Chicken tenders sauce had no flavor and the chicken was such bad pieces. How can you promote the sale of chicken tenders but the pieces you sell are all dark meat gamey balls of chicken. Also the water there I bought was labeled Poland spring but it was tap water it smelled like the most tap water I've ever encountered. Scary don't know what they are doing with the water there. Me and my GF were both spooked by that. Never would go here again. Staff was great but food and water quality BAD. read more

I decided to order this for dinner after shopping at Food Bazaar. It's not a sit in place so you do have to take it to go or order for delivery. I ordered the 20 piece wings with the sweet chili sauce and an order of fries. They said they would text me in 15 minutes or so. I found the chicken to be okay because it was extremely sweet for my taste. But I do look forward to trying the one without the sauce to see if that's better. read more

I ordered a small order of wings tossed in hot soy garlic sauce & a small order of chicken strips tossed in hot sweet chili sauce, to-go. And then I killed time at food bizarre next door until I received the text that everything was ready to pick up. I wanted to try the chicken while it was fresh & crisp so I tried both the wings & strips in my car before I drove home. EVERYTHING was soggy. The wings were covered in breading that went to mush. The tenders were also mushy and the chicken was tough. Everything was slippery & mushy, not crisp at all. Really disappointing. read more
