Lizzy SaxeJuly 13, 2015Fantastic micheladas, legit sandwich with great pickles, and pretty good fries. Will be back soon.
Christine HaMarch 4, 2016Solid spicy fried chicken sandwich reminiscent of Chick-Fil-A but with gochujang sauce. Multiple locations. 🌶👍🏼
Alexandria IfillDecember 6, 2015Chicken sandwich was good. Fries seasoned really well. Have the orange creamsicle to finish. Oh and the only take cards NO CASH!
David BrahlerJuly 13, 2015Get the chicken with a side of fries to stay but order a back up sandwich to go. Trust me. You'll want it.
Chicken is nice and crispy, but still juicy and well seasoned. Not the least bit spicy though, and ssam sauce is overrated. It's more sugar than chili.
WEI WEIDecember 19, 2015Wonderful fried chicken sandwich. Great for a quick bite then hopping to other places around
Andrew WiebeOctober 21, 2015Go on a weeknight at a random time -- perhaps after a couple adult beverages in the area. Chicken + Tecate = dream drunk food for me. Doesn't hurt that it's David Chang's place.
Casey SchoonoverJuly 8, 2015Spicy chicken sandwich is on point! Try it with the pickled daikon for more of an Asian flavor.
Spicy chicken sandwich is all you need. Drizzle some Ssäm sauce on top and you're golden.
Charley ToddOctober 10, 2015Literally inspired by chikfila, spicy and delicious. Also potato wedges were nice complement- Mathew JenningsJune 17, 2015Gotta get that chicken sandwich. The flavor is incredible. Didn't find the fries or the salad particularly inspiring.
Slather some ssam sauce on your already-spicy chicken sandwich. The fries are also insanely good.
Chris GampatSeptember 30, 2017Dat spicy chicken sandwich is dope. Put more of the spicy sauce on it and ask for daikon.
Kit&kafoodleNovember 24, 2015The fuku strips are pretty damn tasty with the JD sauce and ssam sauce. Love it.
CarolynJune 28, 2015The sandwich is fantastic, and the salad is an unexpected treat. Good fries, too
Matt EdwardsJanuary 5, 2016Get the sandwich and the fries, combo is pointless. Fries are heavily seasoned but pretty great.
Silas MorriseySeptember 6, 2015The chicken sandwich is always great, but the spiciness seems to be in flux, as if the recipe is constantly being modified.
Harry RaymondFebruary 10, 2016Lives up to the hype. Chicken sandwich is spicy and delicious. Card only.
Chez OngApril 22, 2016Go Koreano with the Chicken Sandwich! The fries weren't wedges like most of the photos here though--they were thick cut and meh. Skip the fries and get one of their Milk Bar desserts instead.
Sean SmithFebruary 11, 2018Chicken sandwich with ssaam sauce is so good. Staff were incredibly nice.
Sherie SwerdlowFebruary 10, 2016Wasn't as good as I anticipated. But still a good sandwich at an incredibly low price for NYC.
Joseph "KWEST" CruzOctober 28, 2015man, that spicy chicken sandwich with the ssam sauce is serious!!! .....
David SchorrJune 13, 2015I found the sandwich did not live up to the hype. It was a good sandwich. Definitely not close to the best I've ever had.
Lorenzo TaylorAugust 24, 2015The Spicy Chicken Sandwich is just as great as everyone said it would be! Do it!
Cynthia LinAugust 2, 2015Dark meat lovers rejoice. Avoid lines and get room at the standing bar if you come before noon on weekends
AriJune 18, 2015The sandwich is definitely worth the wait. Juicy and spicy but not overwhelmingly so
Jastine KhoNovember 6, 2015The chicken is humongous. Still prefer chick fil A though- at least there are seats there
Andrei KryssovFebruary 4, 2016I liked the fries even more than the sandwich. But the sandwich was great!- Chad HornerJune 13, 2015they don't cheat you on the chicken here! the sandwich is overflowing with it. currently only one sandwich on the menu, but rumor has it there are more to come
Cory McCollumSeptember 29, 2015It's slightly overrated in my opinion. I would rate Bobwhite's over this for overall taste, and Chick-fil-A over this for value. That said, it's decently cheap for a David Chang experience. Try it.
