Jason Brew: Great atmosphere, great cocktails and of course the fried chicken is top notch. The specialty chickens are great, but for your first time I think it's best to go with the original
Kyle Fowler: The original waffles and fried chicken were awesome. Great music and a lively atmosphere.
Chop Suey Club: Very juicy fried chicken, super eggy waffles paired with blueberry & lemon & mushroom butter. Delicious.

Caroline: Bangkok street food. Thai-style fried chicken and a grilled flank steak with basil fried rice. Drinks come from Anthony Bakery, formerly of the Aviary
Aaron Easton: I tried mushroom curry and Thai style fried chicken. I love it.
Ernesto Gutierrez: Looking for a date spot, this is the place. More ambiance than cuisine, the highlights were the crab fried rice and the fish. The ribs, calamari and fried chicken were fine but not worth the visit.

Omer Zach: Order the scrapple waffle (but don't Google what scrapple is). The fried chicken was also good, mainly for the liver parts.
Amanda Rella: Grab a seat on the patio outside. Japanese fried chicken with ranch dressing is untraditional but a must. The chicken paitan is hands down my favourite ramen dish.
Sam Logan: This place is definilty worth a visit. Great traditional ramen AND interesting "American" ramen dishes. The fried chicken is bonkers good. Funky, hip decorations too.
Mikahla Vicino: This place is stylish as heck. The backroom is cozy and modern, and you get plenty of space to relax. Definitely get the fried chicken sandwich. My favorite drink was the mango sticky rice.
Cocktail Guiden: The hottest, most exciting and fun cocktail bar in NYC is Double Chicken Please. Their cocktails are food inspired, like the delicious Red Eye Gravy, served with prosciutto! On the top 50 bars list!
Līllië ʕ´• ᴥ•̥`ʔ: Japanese Cold Noodle, Key Lime Pie, both chicken sandwiches

AmateurConcierge: Solid ramen offering with a nice fat, al dente noodle. Liked the garlic heavy fried chicken as well
Angela Wen: Lunch special is great, choose a salad or karage fried chicken side. Loved the spicy tonkatsu ramen which comes w half egg. Regular does not.
Kendra Borowski: Delicious ramen and really friendly service. Try the ginger or yuzu shoyu. Also those cucumbers are intensely flavorful. It's pretty busy and the tables turn quickly
