    Tender crush....Its a nice spot to get a quick bite. Menu is not overwhelming small and to the point.... It's serves Chicken tenders with your choice of different flavors and comes with different dipping sauces.... So if your waking around in the area take a peek inside and grab a 3pc with fries.... Next door is another good spot....Same owners I believe....

    Tried Tender Crush for the first time, via delivery. You can get chicken tenders that are fried or grilled, or crispy chicken sandwiches. There's a variety of spicy and non-spicy dipping sauces to choose from. I chose the 32nd St BBQ, which came with 3 fried tenders lightly coated with a Korean BBQ sauce, sesame seeds, scallions, and cilantro, with a lime wedge and buttermilk dill dipping sauce on the side. The outside of the tenders was crispy and not greasy; the inside was tender and juicy. They were delicious and I liked that the tenders were not skimpy in size. I got a small order of the Tribeca Truffle Mac, which came with breadcrumbs on the side for you to sprinkle on top (tasted like smashed Ritz crackers, they were so nice and buttery). I enjoyed how the American and cheddar cheese went with the black truffle flavor, and the breadcrumbs provided nice texture. The Mac had the small shell-shaped pasta which were nicely coated in the cheese sauce. I also got a small order of the Chinatown Broccolini (tried to make it healthier by getting my veggies in). It came with slivers of garlic, bird pepper sauce, scallions, ginger, soy, and cilantro. The broccolini looked spicy with all the bits of red bird pepper clinging to it, and it was spicy but tasty. I would would recommend this spot if you have a hankering for chicken tenders or sandwiches.

    Delicious, flavorful, juicy tenders! Take it from a big chicken tender fan, these are awesome! We got the chicken tenders and truffle Mac to go and traveled 20 minutes with it and it held up great! Still warm, didn't dry out at all and the mac and cheese held up well too! The sauces were delicious and creative. Can't wait to try it again.

    My family and I were visiting New York and prior to our trip I saw JaRule post this place and decided to give it a try. My son is a chicken tender head so I knew he would enjoy it. The young lady who took our order and the owner were very nice and welcoming. We ordered a bunch of food and their signature slush drink ( alcohol slushies) everything was fresh and delicious. The owner expressed the great lengths he goes through to make sure the food is fresh and prepared to the customers liking. I appreciated that. We were given samples of the slushies so we can decide which one we wanted. There was strawberry margarita one and another they named the Amber Rose. The Amber rose was good and strong. The place is small however there are a few tables to sit and enjoy your good if you're not on the go. Definitely would go again when visiting New york

    I had a day yesterday. Spent the morning with my mother and then my doctor appointment and then it was time to treat me. My knee was killing me but it didn't stop me from making it to this place. And I'm so glad I did. Everything was good. I loved my drink it was a perfect mix Frozen Honeycomb featuring Amber & Opal Honey Botanical Whiskey.and I can really see me buying it and secondly those crispy chicken didn't have to be so damn good lol. I wanted to take some.home.but it would not have made it. I cannot ot wait to go back and bring my broke best friend and get something else on the menu. I had a good day bum knee and all.

    STATEN ISLAND CRUNCH SANDWICH $10

    Small fried chicken shop that specializes in all things chicken. They have straight chicken tenders, and also chicken sandwiches. I went for the Staten Island chicken sandwich, which was about $10 which I thought wasn't too bad. It was a pretty small size, but it was tasty and had good flavor. The only option when you walk in is to order it at the kiosk in the front. Our food though took a good 20 minutes for it to come out since I think there was only one person working in the back overall not bad for the price.

    To Start Off The Interior Is Heavily Inspired By NYC. From The Menu Options To The Decor. It's Vibrant And The Whole Restaurant Is On Theme. All The Chicken Is Freshly Cut And Fried. The Tender Dogs, Chicken Sandwiches, Truffle Mac & Cheese, And Peach Coconut Slushie Are Must Try Items. Plus They Have A Variety Of Sauces. Thank You To Matt For Helping Me Out. Service Was A Really Good. This Is A Spot To Check Out In Soho.

    We are from the Midwest and my family wanted some chicken! This place was so perfect. Crispy the way it should be and the sauces were amazing.

    Best Tenders in NYC , hands down !! Love the sauces and the whole concept. They live up their sister location Black Tap. Tenders were very juicy and fried just right. Loved the sauces , favorite was still the Blue Cheese and Sweet Chili in my opinion. Definitely try the Coconut Mango and their Black and White Soft Serve. Service - 10/10 Ambiance- Dope Parking - Street

    The space is small but that's NYC. I had 3 chicken tenders with BBQ sauce and honey mustard and the ice cream tender with strawberry sauce. It was so good! Would def go back again!

    This is the new chicken spot from the Black Tap team, that is as good as Black Tap was when Black Tap first opened, so definitely go now for some great chicken tenders. The fries and sandwiches are excellent too, so this is a perfect place for a quick meal of higher quality fried chicken.

    Hot Crush Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    Revanth R.

    Spicy chicken sandwiches with an extra twist. Food: - Hot Crush Crispy Chicken Sandwich - Excellent. Toasted bun, crispy and moist chicken patty, crunchy toppings, and spicy sauce. Flavors and textures work really well together. Spice level is just enough without being overbearing. - Harlem Hot tenders - Good. The tenders were crispy and plenty of sauce added on top, but this probably wasn't the right flavor choice for me. Service: Great. They have two digital ordering machines that were easy to place the order and food was ready in about 10min minutes. The togo bag they give is high quality tote style with their logo on it. Ambiance/Vibe: Great. Relatively small place. There was limited table seating and some bar seating on the side. Highly recommend eating the food right away while hot since crispy chicken doesn't taste the same after it cools down. Cost/Value: Great. $10 for a chicken sandwich is excellent value for the flavor and quality. $12 for tenders seems a bit expensive and wasn't as filling as the sandwich. Visit again? Definitely. Easily one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches I've had.

The chicken was fried perfectly; it crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful inside. The portions are generous, and although I paid almost $30 for dinner with rice, I still had enough left over for another meal. It's definitely pricier than many of the more affordable spots around Chinatown, but they're serving a more niche menu rather than the usual dumplings, noodles, or Chinese BBQ, so I think the price is justified. They also accept cards, which is convenient compared with some other spots in the neighborhood that are cash-only. The main reason I'm giving it 4 stars is the service. There was some miscommunication with the staff, my drinks were brought to another table, and they almost did the same with my food before I signaled that it was mine. The tables also weren't the cleanest and could've used a quick wipe-down between guests. That said, the restaurant is very small, probably only 10-12 seats, so space is definitely limited. Despite the service issues, I really enjoyed the food and would come back. If you're looking for something different from the typical Chinatown offerings, Peking House is definitely worth trying!

Nicely charred where it needed to be. The kind of chicken that makes you pause mid-chew and point at the plate like, okay, now hold on. The beans were killer. Full flavor. Rich. Comforting. Not an afterthought hiding in the corner of the tray pretending to matter. These had real presence. The kind of side dish that starts acting like it pays rent. Deeply satisfying. Very much giving do not overlook me, sweetheart. And the rice? Stand up. Seriously. The rice came in with backup dancer status and somehow turned into co-lead. Fluffy. Well-seasoned. Actually worth eating on its own, which is rare because a lot of restaurant rice just be there for emotional support. This rice had purpose. This rice had ambition. Service kept things moving and the whole place felt easy to enjoy. No extra drama. Just good food doing what it was supposed to do. The atmosphere had that low-key, no-nonsense energy where people clearly came to eat first and talk later.

Orders are made at the register as soon as you walk in, even for dine-in orders. I ordered grilled chicken with yellow rice and red beans and a side of sweet plaintains. The chicken was those flat, paper thin strips with grill marks all over. It was tender but not very flavorful. The yellow rice was good and the beans were fine. The sweet plaintains were the best part of my meal. They were cooked nice and brown and they weren't mushy at all. I asked for hot sauce. I was given a cold bottle of hot sauce from the fridge. The dipping sauce helped to give the chicken a little zing. Chicken Stop is a narrowly built restaurant with decent seating, dim lighting and fake grass walls. There was a large, flat-screen TV hanging from the fake grass wall, showing the news. The satellite music was an awful mix of soft rock and country/western. Menu prices are reasonable. I have business in that area now. I'll be dining at Chicken Stop again.
