KyoChon wings were really good. Got the half and half where 10 wings were garlic and 10 wings were spicy. The spicy wings were really good and really spicy. If you can't handle spice, don't get it

Wings have less breading than other places. The hot and sweet is decently spicy and flavorful while the soy garlic is blander than what I'm used to but somehow go well together. Wedges are a must!

Bonchon or KyoChon? It's Kyochon for me cuz the wings here can be very spicy - just how I like 'em. Bonchon can't reach this level of spiciness. When I want hot wings I want 'em HOT!!!!

I was pleasantly surprised. The spicy chicken wings are actually spicy! Whenever I get Korean fried chicken I always get all spicy coz the other favors just taste bland to me. Great dining experience!

Food is DELICIOUS! Honey wings are amazing! Splurge on the Strawberry Soju Cocktail - can't be missed. Plus they play KPOP videos on large TV screens!

Try all the wings. Sweet and got are spicy, possibly too spicy for most but sooooo good. They'll warn you. Listen to them and order them anyway.

Nowhere near as good (or as cool) as BonChon Chicken, but a decent alternative if it's too crowded or the wait time is too long. This place is good for groups, there is a ton of seating upstairs!

U have to want to go fattening to enjoy here. I went for the grilled chicken and it might as well have been from any deli. Also a side of vegetables means some iceberg… (1 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Hands down better than Bon chon or mad for chicken. The sal sal chicken salad with mango dressing is remarkably good. Cant go wrong with signature wings soy garlic style.

No matter how much spice you think you can handle, the spicy wings WILL be painful! Try the garlic/soy wings.
Dan GrissApril 7, 2012
the Garlic Soy Sauce wings were awesome. I don't know if its for just that kind or all but if you get "hot sauce on the side" BEWARE! For spice heads only. Flavorfull tho.

Always get the chicken wings. It's double fried goodness. Don't get spicy unless you can seriously handle spice. It's dangerous!
Simon LeungDecember 22, 2014
Rating: 3 Nice spicy sauce with a good kick. The wings were a little smalleaning there was not a lot of meat. Maybe not amazing for the price. Good for casual pickup of chicken.

While Bonchon soy garlic fries chicken wings is better than KyoChon's, I would choose KyoChon's grilled soy garlic wings anytime! I would go back for this...

Bon Chon Chicken competitor here! I would say Kyo Chon is equal in terms of quality, with a variety of different flavors to differentiate themselves.

The Korean fried chicken wings can carry a spicy kick. Be prepared to wait a little--these wings take time.
ChristianJuly 5, 2014
Wings were very crispy and tender. I enjoyed the spicy wings (WARNING: Pretty dang spicy) and the garlic wings but overall it was just alright. I still prefer Bon Chon.
Melissa NanquilAugust 22, 2015
Soy garlic wings are always the best! Their combos are worth the price, especially with the fries.
Alberto PerezApril 15, 2012
The wait was not long at all. The honey fried wings were awesome, very crispy. I'd recommend it. And yes the mens room did have digital displays of peoples eyes staring at u at the urinal...creepy

Got the grilled chicken salad which had quality ingredients & very tasty dressing, but amounted to a $11 appetizer for me. Grabbed cart food afterwards. Throw a piece of bread on the side or something

Wow, this place is way better than BonChon! More flavorful and spicier. One big con: the service is lousy and the wait is a bit longer (than BonChon). Anyways, it's the food that counts, right? :)

When you go in there is no one to tell you that upstairs is different to downstairs. If you want to sit go up for service at the table. If you want to stand order at the counter downstairs.
Jannette GJanuary 26, 2014
Very modern looking, great crispy chicken, and the adult soda is great too. Open until 2am
Rosa EstrellaMarch 2, 2013
They show k-pop videos!! Awesome! And give you wipes to clean your hands! I'm amazed and I haven't even had food yet!
Teddy LuApril 11, 2015
nice, clean restaurant. spicy wings are sufficiently spicy, but a little soggy. i'd like it to be crunchier.
JeremyMarch 11, 2012
The best designed restaurant I've ever seen. Be sure to check out the urinals (if you can). Def get the honey wings
Elizabeth QuispeSeptember 21, 2012
You can call for help from any of their tables. Their screens on the second floor show video from places around the world. Makes you wanna take the next plane out!

I only waited 6 mins. The Hot and Spicy wings are so tasty..but my tongue is burning. True, one of the wings was small. Love the garlic dipping sauce. They give you a wet nap and a plastic glove!
Marjorie DSeptember 11, 2014
The chicken tenders are really good. They're only lightly coated and the meat is fresh and juicy.
Maurisse JohnsonOctober 4, 2013
The wings are the best I've tasted. The drinks are really fresh especially the mango chu.
VictorDecember 26, 2015
They don't kid around, the spicy chicken wings are SPICY!
Craig CalderJune 12, 2013
Honey soy wings are my favorite. Ask for well done if you like 'em crispy.
Deanne WSeptember 1, 2011
I love the honey wings...I discovered KyoChon in the spring and will always stop in when in NYC...Hope they branch out to Chi-Town
BrittanyNovember 16, 2013
I've ordered sandwiches to go from here a million times for lunch and never realized they have a restaurant upstairs.
William ÁlvarezMarch 6, 2013
The restrooms are top-notch. Very futuristic. Worth the visit. And chicken is good too.
Sarah Maria Yousef-HartshorneApril 6, 2012
Get the wings and the pickled vegetables. Skip the fried stuff and the other sides. This is the good stuff.
MyraSeptember 14, 2016
This place is great. It's futuristic and I love all the screens.
Deepak ShrivastavaApril 8, 2014
Fast food chicken - k style. Except it took FOREVER to get my food when I was like the second person on line. Unlike Ny style - lazy staff.
Martine B.May 21, 2010
Hot and Spicy wings are so delicious, but only if you can handle alot of spice. I am a spice fanatic and my mouth was definitely burning for a little bit!
Sevcan U.July 9, 2011
Drumstick is way better than grilled chicken wings, the korean hite beer is also easy to drink, give it a try
✨Adrienne✨February 28, 2014
I could OD on their Soy Garlic wings and Honey wings. Yes, they are that good!
Tony XerriDecember 20, 2012
It's fine, but that's unfortunately all that it is. Pricey for the small portion as we'll and my sweet potatoes wedges we're soggy. Chicken on the other hand was deliciously crispy and flavorful.
VeroJanuary 28, 2012
If you like sweet potato then try the sweet potato fries they are great, cut round and not thick

Try the Soy Garlic/Ginger And Spicy Garlic Drums With Fried Rice Cakes - #amazingly #delicious #Fantastic
Ricardo MillánOctober 14, 2016
It's an awesome wing place. Share a combo with friends.

Soy garlic wings? ✅ #Yezzir Chicken strips? ✅ #Winning Awesome spot on the way to Penn Station!
William KurosawaDecember 16, 2014
My must-go when in NYC. Spicy fried chicken the way I like!
Shiva SinghNovember 22, 2013
The chicken steak is very good, and portions are generous.
HelenDecember 31, 2014
The rice bowls are good but overpriced for what they are and has way too much sodium. Chicken wings however are delicious of course.
