Chicken Insider is the best place for a real taste. As a Korean, I can say the real authentic one. The chicken was insanely crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful inside — exactly the texture we expect from real Korean fried chicken. The sauce had that perfect sweet-spicy kick that keeps you reaching for the next piece without even thinking. The price is super affordable. Given that the place is located on Upper East Side, i believe the owner is super is nice and generous. It’s genuinely strong Korean-style chicken and side menu(Korean rice cake) 떡볶이 that satisfies the craving properly. Bold flavors, generous portions,
I stopped by Chicken Insider and the chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The seasoning wasn’t too heavy, so it was easy to enjoy without feeling overwhelmed. Portions were just right good for eating solo or sharing a few items with friends. The staff were friendly, and ordering was smooth, plus the place felt clean and comfortable. Overall, a solid spot I’d recommend if you’re craving good fried chicken.
My favorite spot on the UES❤️ The fried chicken is amazing, the menu is wonderful and the food never disappoints! Richa and Kalpana are incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! Such a great team overall✨
I dislike free items for reviews big time. You enter a place that’s rated 4.6 and while it is good food, it ain’t 4.6/5 stars. Loved the fries, super fresh, perfect consistency, but could have had a tad more seasoning. The chicken Sandwhich was a bit of a disappointment. The chicken needs more brining and flavour, the salsa was nice but it felt too little. Portion/price was on the smaller end imo.
Quaint eatery! The chicken wasn't the best I had but it's decent. Theres a restaurant in Brooklyn called "Garlic to the Chicken" that has chicken varieties that just seem larger and more....robust. If that makes sense. The chicken here seems to come from chickens that are bred in a way they have less meat on their bones. For example, in comparison to Garlic to the Chicken, the bites of the wings and legs here didn't leave your palate with meat but rather more fried skin and oil. However its still good. The atmosphere is okay with plenty of seating and good pop music. I think it's K-pop. The staff were cordial. They bring you your food if you're eating in and utensils which I thought was a nice hospitable touch. The truffle fries were average. They need to add more garlic and truffle sau
