Don Chicken Pine Brook (Montville) — Restaurant in Montville Township

1st time trying the food here and well it’s very overpriced for the food that is overall…..Eh.

The guy behind the counter was excellent great service and had patience with me when I was asking a bunch of questions about the menu items and didn’t try to rush me or do other things while I decided what to choose. That’s why I give him a definite 5 stars, he didn’t make any suggestions but I won’t criticize on that.

I ordered a 5 piece drumsticks ($14.99) and cheese sticks (6 or 7pc mozzarella sticks for $7.99) total came to $24.50 and wow what a total rip off in my own opinion. I definitely would’ve been happier at chick-fil-a for the amount I spent here, but hey it was my 1st time so it is what it is. The chicken was fried great but the sauce was not what I was expecting. I was expecting more flavor but in the end just wasn’t wowed but the meal. Just eeehhh. Not great not to terrible either.

HOWEVER!! what was terrible while I was sitting inside eating one of the workers from the kitchen walks into bathroom. Literally not even 20 secs walks back out of the bathroom and back to the kitchen. Absolutely disgusting there is no way the guy washed his hands before returning back to work. I literally heard the toilet flush and he walks out of the bathroom while you can hear the toilet still filling back up. So just because of that I rate this restaurant with low, and most likely will not return. I used to work with the food and health department and I’ve seen some crazy things behind the scenes. Washing hands is key especially after wiggling and waggling and wiping your...

Yesterday was my first time visiting Don chicken and I was nothing short of blown away from my experience.

First, the food. The price per person is reasonable and the quality was perfect. I'm apprehensive when taking food to go, especially when it is fried, as the packaging typically causes the food to get soggy before even getting to try it. Despite the 15 min ride home, the chicken was still perfectly crispy and not to mention flavorful. While ordering, Paul was even nice enough to give honest recommendations (which were all great!)

Second, the atmosphere. Don chicken clearly cares about the cleanliness of their estabolishment. From the front counter, drink fridge, tables, and floors; everything was neat, organized, and felt well maintained.

Third, the environment! When we were waiting for our order, Paul was nice enough to engage in friendly conversation with us between customers coming in to pick up their orders. At one point, I happened to notice a set of microphones. I asked what they were for and Paul happily replied that they got them for occasional karaoke sessions. Seeing my excitement, he offered to let us try it out!! It was the most entertaining experience I've had waiting for my food!!

I would absolutely come back to Don chicken in the future, especially to eat at the facility! Thank you again, Paul, for the...

Well, it is a perfect example of a hidden gem. bringing Korean flavor to the area. it is a Korean fried chicken franchise tucked away on the side of a small strip mall- if you don't know, you will miss it.

We ordered- Gimmari- seaweed wrapped around glass noodles, dipped into a batter that crisps up deliciously when deep-fried Soy Garlic & Kalbi (K-BBQ) Wings - half & Half Fries (because my wife was craving for it)

wings were crunchy, crispy, tender & juicy- pieces of freshly fried chicken.

They offer eight choices of Korean Fried Chicken- Choose between wings, boneless, and drumsticks in different serving sizes or on a platter

also, a lunch special during the weekdays - $14

Fact: Korean chicken is double-fried to lock in that extra crunchy & juicy flavor- it's their way of cooking

The ambiance is simple and super clean. The receptionist was super friendly, letting us know what else to order. Parking: ample off-street parking lot
