Don Chicken 돈치킨 리버에지

I’ve been to Don Chicken several times now, and it never disappoints. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the flavors are always spot-on. I always order the rose tteokbokki too—it never gets old. The place is clean and cozy, and the staff are super friendly, which makes every visit a pleasure. Definitely one of my go-to spots!

I’ve known about this place for about two years since moving to the area — it’s only six minutes from my home. By pure chance, I missed my NJT stop the other night and ended up getting off at River Edge, which isn’t far from where I should’ve been. It was warm out, I didn’t mind the walk, and I figured this was finally the perfect moment to try Don’s. I ordered a small crispy chicken with a side of hot/spicy sauce. Walked the remaining 15 minutes home, ready to finally see what the hype was about. The chicken was crispy, but the flavor just wasn’t there. The dipping sauce tasted like something I could’ve mixed myself with the BBQ and hot sauce I already have at home — definitely not worth the extra $2. Overall, the food was mediocre, but it was late and I was hungry, so I kept going. Th

The chicken here is incredible—super crisp, fresh, and cooked perfectly every time. The sauces are next-level good (seriously, I wanted to take a bottle home), and the owners are some of the kindest people you’ll meet. I’m attaching a photo but honestly… it doesn’t do the food justice. I was too busy devouring the chicken to take a decent shot 😅 Highly recommend if you’re craving Korean fried chicken done right!

This is me and my family’s go to fried chicken place, their spicy soy garlic is my personal favorite and my non-spicy fam members love the regular soy garlic chicken. The drumsticks are huuuuuge! So don’t get disappointed by the less number of drumsticks than the wings order. Oh and I would like to include that their fries are so good! Perfectly crispy on the outside but mush in the inside with the right amount of seasoning. Definitely recommend going here. They also have a large selection of ramens that you can make by yourself as they have self serving stations inside the restaurant.

We order from here all the time for family gatherings and they never disappoint. Definitely one of the better chicken spots in Bergen county. On Super Bowl Sunday they were unfortunately overwhelmed and I ended up deciding not to wait around for my order. When I contacted them the next day, they went out of their way to make things right for me, which I definitely appreciated. Will definitely be back to support our local chicken joint!
