The Spicy Soy Garlic wings were CRAZY. Crispy, saucy, spicy but not reckless. Sweet garlic flavor hits and then the heat sneaks up on you. It's not crazy though Not soggy. Not dry. Just right. I was quiet the whole time eating because I was locked in. I'll be back for sure read more

The fried chicken is not bad but there are too many options in the area so idk if I would come back here. The ppuring is a little spicy while the sweet & spicy is not. The sweet and spicy is also a little too sweet. For the fries, I def do like a lot of snow cheese, but this is a bit too much lol, like I have blocks of cheese powder sticking to the fries. Price is very affordable for the portion tho. read more

Yam Yam Chicken - Ppuring Sweet and spicy Snow cheese fries - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Whenever I'm in NJ, this is my go-to chicken spot! Forget Pelicana, Kyochon, BBQ, or any other chicken place--I've tried them all, and this one is hands down the best! There's really nothing more to say--JUST GO AND TRY IT! The boneless sprinkles are a must-try, and the spicy chicken is perfection. I'm honestly at a loss for words--YOU HAVE TO TRY IT to understand why I'm raving about it. It's that good! I literally went three times in one week. Just a heads-up: there's no seating area, so this is strictly a takeout spot. Be sure to call ahead to place your order! During peak hours, the wait can get longer. read more

Yam Yam Chicken - BONELESS (half Sprinkle & half Hot Spicy) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

#1 Korean chicken place! On my second try on none other than Super Bowl Sunday at 6:30pm (aka too late), they delivered within 1 hour via Grubhub and won me over with their amazing chicken. Not sure why I didn't remember it as much first time around 2 yrs ago, but I'm glad I tried them again. Ppuring chicken (5/5) - Ordered whole chicken 1/2, and as many said, this is savory, sweet & with a hint of delicious kick that you won't expect. Whole chicken gives you good bang for the buck, though you need to break it up a bit. Loved it. Sweet & Spicy Wings (4/5) - Yes, this one has a nice kick with loads of awesome old-skool K-chicken wing yangnyum sauce. Still crunchy somehow under all that sauce! Nicely garlicky too. Snowing Cheese Fries (5/5) - Man, I know wife said it looks unhealthy and heavy but I don't care... fries were not greasy but full of potato flavor and dare I say chewy... with generous coat of that amazing cheese powder delivering the subtle sweet with savory! I really didn't think I would enjoy this as much as I did. Yes, this is heavy-duty fries. I only ate 5 hefty ones each time alongside the chicken. I'm feeling happy rn because I still got like 5 left in my fridge. Okay, it's definitive now - no one comes close to Yam Yam Chicken when it comes to K-fried chicken in this area! Bye bye don, pelicana, & bbq - it was nice knowing you guys. I'll be calling again real soon & you should too for your next chicken feast. read more

Great Korean fried chicken to take out. Prices are reasonable, chicken is fried well and their spicy soy garlic is actually spicy. Their powdered cheese fries are scrumptious. Orders are filled quickly. If you are in the mood for Korean fried chicken at a great price, you can't go wrong with this place. Their soy garlic, spicy soy garlic and any of their powdered cheese options are my favorites. read more

Never stop believing. This place does not look like much from outside the freeway, but it's a gem. Ordered wings spicy soy garlic and cheese drumsticks with the nice manager lady in the front. Both were juicy tender and crunchy. Best kfc I've had in the states! Enjoy read more

came here solely to try the bburinkle chicken which is apparently a very close dupe to one of the most popular fried chicken flavors in korea. It was salty, sweet, and savory all in one! A very stimulating taste but a but too sweet for me. I also got the spicy soy garlic which had a good enough kick on your tongue but not too spicy where youre crying at the same time. Chicken here is extremely affordable compared to other korean chicken but wasnt as crispy as id like it to be. Wouldnt be my first choice in korean fried chicken but my only choice if I ever crave bburinkle again! read more

Yam Yam Chicken is my family's favorite take out chicken location! We have been getting take out whole chicken from here since it opened years ago, when the price was $20. Now it is $24, which is still a great deal considering other chicken places like BBQ and Don Chicken are $28+. The staff are friendly, and the chicken is prepared quickly after an order is placed -- it typically takes 15-20 minutes. Yam Yam is a must try! (Our favorite is the soy garlic flavor.) read more

This place is up there with all the others. So satisfying...crispy, hot, flavorful sauces. Will be at the top of the list whenever a fried chicken craving hits. read more

Even when the Ridgefield/Edgewater area is saturated with Korean food choices, this modest and down-to-earth Korean chicken restaurant delivers a formidable alternative to the other glitzier establishment of like. We tried the spicy soy garlic, sweet and spicy, and bburrings flavor. The bburings definitely takes the cake -- the sweet cheese powder mixed with onion and garlic coats the chicken like sweet manna from heaven! I love spicy food and still found the sweet and spicy chicken still giving a pleasantly surprising kick! The lady served us with a joyful chatter and allows us to have a mix of flavors in the same box when you order the larger 10pc quantity. The deliciously succulent and crispy mix of the selections are also priced at around 20% lower than other similar restaurants, and with no less of a quality! The place has a "small chinese take-out" vibe with minimal no-nonsense decor with a few poster and Korean periodicals sprawling for you to peruse while you wait for your order. Don't let this fool you -- it's the food that counts! Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area next. read more

I have been a loyal customer here at Yam Yam Chicken since 2012. It has always been so delicious and the service was great. Living in Philadelphia, me and my family would always stop by here whenever we were going to New Jersey or Boston, but in the first time in 13 years of ordering here, I have never experienced such poor quality chicken. The chicken was not fresh at all, the sauce was bland, and it was not fried well. It was so stiff and tasted horrible. The ambiance was much cleaner and better than before, but the chicken did not live up to my expectations. read more

The basic-style chickens are strong; the complicated ones (snow cheese, ppurrings) are junk food disguised as chicken. Stick with the classics and it's a good spot. read more

The food here is simply unbeatable for original Korean fried chicken. I love how they make it slightly spicy which is just enough to balance the flavors. I've tried pick-ups and delivery (Grub Hub) and they are always on time! read more

Yes, another review for Yanm Yam chicken ^^ There are sooooooo many Korean style chicken places, and many with the famous franchises. I have been a fan of Yam Yam for more than 5 years, and the quality of their chicken & service has been very consistent. It does not have many types - compared to Pelicana & BBQ Fried Chicken, but we always order the regular style ~~~ Crispy, Soy garlic, spicy, sweet & sour ^^ read more

We ordered take out for small boneless crispy chicken and boneless bburings chicken without not really knowing for sure what bburings was. Interesting coating of garlic, onion, and cheese and it came with a white bechamel sauce on side. I prefer crispy one more but it was good to try something new. The chicken was wonderful and hot. I didn't need gloves but would come back in a heartbeat. Definitely much much better than Bonchon. I was disappointed in the Pelicana in the NJ area so far so I am glad I tried Yam Yam! read more

First takeout in over 6 weeks and the chicken ends up being bloody and raw inside. Very disappointed. Will have to call and complain tomorrow morning. I said enough.

Let me tell you first - I have tried numerous chicken spots and each places have their weaknesses and strengths. Personally, this place has everything. First, the sprinkle one is just amazing. BBQ chicken has something similar, called cheesling. Compared to theirs, yam yam chicken's sprinkle is a lot more refreshing with the parsley/herb they put in. Second, again compared to the BBQ chicken's secret sauce, yam yam chicken's sweet and spicy is so much better. I personally think BBQ Chicken's secret sauce has greasy taste. After few, I kind of get sick of the taste. However, yam yam chicken's sweet and spicy one has just right amount of spiciness and sweetness. As a Korean with a particular taste in chicken, this is a 5 star k-chicken!! I am going back today to celebrate my weekend a bit early read more

Best priced and tasting wings in Palisades Park. Original crispy wings is always the default. Only downside is you have to pay for sauces.

Whole Crispy chicken - half : 10.00 Good taste, crispy, has 5 pcs, side radish included Good supplement chicken of KFC or papajohns Recommend to take this with soda or beer. read more

Ordered the sweet and spicy whole chicken. Service was fine, I went near closing time so everyone was sorta relaxing, perfectly normal atmosphere. The chicken itself was really good and I enjoy whole chicken mostly for the chicken breast , was very glad they had it as an option. Price was very good! Only 10.50$ for what I had ordered. Would highly recommend. read more

Korean fried chicken at its finest. We ordered delivery and after a very long wait the food arrived and it was totally worth the wait. I think this place is super busy so expect a wait but trust definitely worth it. Only regret is we didn't order more. read more

After hearing about this place for a long time I finally went and cam confirm it is very good fried chicken! We got the crispy and sweet and spicy - personally I prefer my sweet and spicy (yangnyeom) to have a bit more spice but this one was still decent without being overly sweet. The crispy was really just that - amazing crunch but still easy to eat. They do have an expanded menu versus what's posted online (adding a pic of their menu board) complete with couple different types of fries (cheese snow=love), cheese sticks, pa dak, and so on. Prices are so reasonable too! read more

Oh my god such a fresh and crispy chicken place that wasn't too greasy or fatty! A late night food gem that we encountered and can't recommend the bbring, soy garlic, and sweet n spicy flavors enough! Def eat the chicken with the pickled radish for the full experience! read more

Ever crave KFC but wasn't sure if the craving was for the Korean or Kentucky variety? Well Yam Yam comes to the rescue as the good middle ground. Unlike most Korean Friend Chicken joints, Yam Yam adds a southern style breading to the wings here. Then they'll add the sauces to Korea-ify it. Flavors vary from Plain, Soy Garlic, Spicy, and Spicy Soy Garlic. Alright not the most extensive flavor choices but all very good. Chicken is very juicy and tastes marinated beforehand but that's just my guess. You can order wings, drumsticks, or a whole chicken including white meat parts. Orders come with marinated radish. Some tips: - Limited seating and this place is meant for take out but frankly, it tastes best the sooner you eat it because it's made to order. Eat it here. -They also sell some hot sauce containers for $1. Not necessary IMHO. - I like white meat chicken but that's not the all-star here. read more

Pros: 15 minutes for order pick up. Original crispy and soy garlic wings are delicious. Friendly staff. Cons: No deliveries and they don't have rice. read more

Would give it an extra star if I could... this place has been my go to for the past 5 years. I've tried korean fried chicken in Korea and this comes the closest. I highly recommend getting the soy garlic with sweet and spicy sauce on the side to dip. All chicken orders come with a side of pickled radish. (I always ask for extra and they are pretty generous) I wish they had a full restaurant so I could take my friends to eat there but unfortunately they only have a small table. So it's mainly for take-out. They do deliver if you live close enough. I usually just call and pick it up in 15mins. read more

Korean fried chicken is known for their crispy chicken, the sauce and the length of time it takes to prepare. Knowing that it takes 20 to 30 minutes, I called ahead for dine-in and was advised it will only take 10 minutes. 10 Minutes??? Whattt that's unheard of..but I gave them the benefit of a doubt they knew what they were doing. I arrived after 15 minutes after ordering and my food was packed up to go when I advised them twice on the phone that it was for dine-in. I paid for my order and advised them again, this is 4x that it was to stay and she stared at me like I had 20 heads. Finally, I just asked for plates, napkins, chopsticks and sat down on the ONE table they had. I ordered the 10 piece wings hot & spicy. I don't like my food sweet so ordering hot & spicy I was really hoping for that spice factor. Did I get it? Nopeee!! My chicken was not crispy, very garlicky, a little sweet and a little spicy, if that's what I wanted I would have ordered sweet and spicy. The wings were drenched in a thick sticky sauce that was not enjoyable. I just ate them since I was hungry but what bothered me the most was the lack of care for their customers. My fingers were soaked in the sauce and needed a bathroom to clean up, they advised me to go to 7-Eleven ...What!?!? I provided you business and I just simply needed to wash my hands and you're going to tell me to go to another store? Never again!!! You want great Korean chicken go to BonChon!! read more

First time ordering from here and we're going to make it our "go to" place for fried chicken. Hidden gem, hole-in-the-wall, mom and pop shop - definitely worth the price! Did I mention affordable? And!! They send a pair of gloves so you can enjoy it with minimal mess to your person.... depending on how you choose to devour. Ordered crispy and soy garlic wings. Great not-too-thick batter, but just enough to keep it nice and crispy. Not overwhelming in flavor for the soy garlic. Plenty of the radish side dish. Honestly...they had me with the gloves. ^_~ read more

MY FAV KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN PLACE! Their original with sauce on the side is the best. I wish they had a few more things on the menu for sides though.. Sometimes, I want to indulge in just more than just chicken wannggss.( Yes, I spelled it with an 'a' on purpose.) TIP: get the honey mustard and spicy sweet sauce and mix half and half for dipping. You're welcome. read more

/TL;DR I LOVE THE CHICKEN HERE! If you haven't tried KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) you cannot call yourself a foodie. /ATMOSPHERE None. There's basically two tables to sit at so plan to take it home. /FOOD It's basically fried chicken with different sauce choices. /SERVICE I mean, if you're going to eat there, I'm sure they'll accommodate. Just don't expect them to come by and give you water or something. HOW TO READ MY REVIEWS: 1 Star - Does not approach edible. Enter at your own risk. 2 Stars - If I'm in the area, I'd pick something else. 3 Stars - I would stop by if I happen to be in the area. 4 Stars - I would pick this place out of other places nearby. 5 Stars - I would go out of my way to dine here. read more

So yum! Just had some take out here and even the ride was 20 minutes by the time we started eating, it was still very crispy and fresh (we asked for sauce on the side) Chicken was super crispy and marinated nicely inside and very fresh...no old or mystery chicken taste. We asked for the sweet and spicy sauce on the side to keep it crispy and it was yam yam for sure Still not as good as my all time favorite Cheogajip in flushing but still pretty amazing read more

Best Korean style chicken in NNJ. If you haven't ordered yet, you need to call them now.

Not bad but definitely not fabulous either. I was promised the best chicken wings ever by my wife who was telling me that her friends were saying it was really good and somewhat affirmed by its 4-star yelp rating. My wife called ahead to order and was surprised to learn it only takes 15 minutes to prepare the order. Upon picking up the order though I wasn't particularly impressed with the smell coming from the restaurant nor the smelling coming from the box as we were driving back. The chicken wings looked disappointing small and I was equally unimpressed with the most delicious wings in the area. That's not to say they were bad, they were just very ordinary IMHO. Wouldn't discourage folks from coming here but definitely manage expectations. read more

Its a small take out chicken similar to Bonchon, BBQ, and Boom Boom around the area. But the only one that doesn't start with a letter "B". Delivery and Prices are also simliar to the Chicken Takeout businesses mentioned above, but the taste I have to say beats all three places. Its less greasy, and more crunchier than Boom Boom and Bonchon, but I guess you can't really beat BBQ's olive oil fried (i dunno how that's done) chicken, which just makes it sound more healthier. The price is moderate but definitely less expensive than Bonchon's chicken and the wait time is less dreading than BBQ and Bonchon's. Parking for all four places (bonchon, bbq, boom boom and yam yam) are sort of a nightmare, but since majority of them do not deliver, I guess you have to sacrifice something if you want some good chicken. read more
