Food was pretty decent but the customer service could be a bit better. We were waiting for a while (which is fine, and expected for any foodservice establishment), but as we were waiting, my boyfriend decided he wanted kimchi mayo. Went up, asked for it, cashier must have misheard as wasabi mayo and then tried to insist that my boyfriend said wasabi mayo. Regardless, when it came time to ring him up, cashier put both sauces in a bag and charged him both and made a comment about how he "threw in" the kimchi mayo when he had initially asked for wasabi mayo (he had not). Then at the end when we got our full order, the cashier gave us a large bubble tea when we had initially asked for a small. I'm not sure what ratio is used for the drinks but the large just barely tasted like taro at all. When the guy handed it to us and we were already saying thank you for the food, he kind of made it a point that he gave us a large and not a small, as if expecting a thank you for mitigating a service delay.
I work a food service job so I'm very critical on customer service and I just really wasn't impressed with how these minor issues were navigated. My boyfriend is much more relaxed in that aspect, and just paid for the sauces and called it a day, but I just really didn't like those...
Read moreThe Cheeky Chicken in Union, New Jersey absolutely blew my taste buds away! I ordered their crispy chicken over rice with pickles and coleslaw and wow — it was out of this world. Honestly, for delivery food, this was one of the best meals I’ve had in YEARS. Everything arrived hot, crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell they really care about their ingredients and how it all comes together.
I wasn’t expecting much because let’s be real, most delivery food is just okay. But The Cheeky Chicken is in a league of its own. The crispy chicken was perfectly seasoned, juicy on the inside, crunchy on the outside. The rice was flavorful, the pickles gave it that perfect tang, and the coleslaw balanced it all out. It’s rare to get that kind of balance and quality from a delivery order.
I’m already placing another order today — going for their crispy noodles this time because if it’s anything like yesterday, I know it’s gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
If you’re in Union NJ and looking for amazing chicken, rice bowls, crispy noodles, or just something delicious and different, don’t sleep on The Cheeky Chicken. This place deserves way more attention. 10/10,...
Read moreOk ok. The chicken here is pretty good. Had the cheeky wings box soy garlic with rice, also came with pickled radish and coleslaw( little dry not a lot of flavor in the coleslaw.) also had the honey butter fries and the mango refresher with lychee jelly. So 1. Chicken. Delicious crunch and flavorful had it with the Rose sauce. Spicy and sweet. 2. Fries. Something different. Love the honey flavor would prefer it a little more crunchy. 3. Mango refresher. Really sweet but delicious . Everything came out in a pretty quick but if you're in a hurry order ahead of time. Philip helped me out and answered all the questions I had. Knew what he was talking about. The restaurant was clean and really like how simple and clean the facility was, they have bar seating on the wall but no tables. Plenty of parking. though I think they need more visibility on 22 because I don't think you'll see cheeky unless you're looking for it so that's my suggestion. I will definitely be back and looking forward to trying out all their other flavors and...
