Don Chicken Manhattan / 돈치킨 맨해튼 — Restaurant in New York

I forgot to snap a picture of the soy garlic chicken, but my husband absolutely loves the chicken from here! We’ve tried every Korean chicken spot around NY/NJ, and we can confidently say this is the one you’ll fall in love with. It’s more of a take-out place than a restaurant, especially since there are only two tables available.

What really surprised me was that I live in Staten Island, so we had to take the chicken to go—about an hour and 30 minutes of travel. Even after that time, the chicken stayed fresh and crispy! The sauce was perfectly balanced, not overly tangy or saucy, which I think is just right.

Now, let me tell you about the main reason this spot is my go-to: the tteokbokki! It’s hands-down the best I’ve had anywhere. That sauce is incredible—I wish they sold it on its own! I’ve already been here twice and have never been disappointed. I can’t wait to come back and enjoy that perfect sauce with rice cakes again.

Came here with a few friends after seeing their grand opening sign. We got the cheese snowing, sweet & spicy, hot & spicy, as well as some fries and cheese sticks.

The menu offers a great variety, with options that cater to both spice lovers and those who prefer milder flavors. The portions are generous, making it great value for money, and the staff is always friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. Would 10/10 recommend anyone wanting to try Korean...

This is a solid Korean Fried Chicken spot in LES. The wings are crispy and cooked fresh. The soy garlic is the perfect balance of sweet n savory. The sweet & spicy has more of a thick sauce and has the perfect blend of both flavors. The sweet potato fries were fresh & crispy and tasted really good. The mozzarella sticks were okay I didn’t have the same experience as the other items in terms of the crisp. No cheese pull :(. The place is small but they bring out the food fast so service is on point. The guy at the register was definitely friendly and gave suggestions...
