I had the best beef burger of my life at Yoyo’s, very clean and nice ambiance, my kids loved the milkshake.
I really enjoyed my meal! I got the smash & tender plate with hot chicken. The YoYo sauce was delicious. All of it was delicious, really. The burger was substantial and the chicken was juicy. I’m now curious to try their chicken sandwiches, which are very reasonably priced (fast food spicy chicken sandwich prices are out of control!). Also, the woman working was so kind! Although it was my first time there, she made me feel like a valued customer, which is such a rarity for counter service/takeout spots. Great customer service is enough incentive for me to return. I’ll be back!
Amazing food! The burgers are delicious, the milkshakes are incredible, and everything we tried tasted great. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend Yoyo Chicken! 🍔🥤🔥
Our first time, definitely not our last!!! Warm greeting and nice smile the minute we walked up to the counter. The food was delicious!!! We each ordered a double smash burger and split a large order of waffle fries. You won't be disappointed. Yoyo sauce is awesome!!! See you soon!
My kids have been begging to come here and I’m so glad we did! We ordered a variety of meals with chicken, hamburger and macaroni and cheese. Food was hot, portions were perfect and the staff was friendly. Pretty much everything you need for a good quick meal.
Best place for halal food in valley stream, all communities i saw there,
Delicious spicy chicken & excellent smash burgers. Also the service was exceptionally friendly & helpful
Came here for lunch. Amazing chicken sliders and waffle fries. The wait was not long and staffs here are friendly.
The burgers are great, and the chicken is seasoned perfectly.
First time stumbing across this highly rated spot & boy!! They did not disappoint!! The flavors are amazing! It all looked sooo good & tasted even better that we had to get more after trying the mix plate with both chicken burger and beef burger. Those waffle fries taste EXACTLY as they look!! Yum yum! The fact that it's all HALAL was the cherry on top!! The cashier was so friendly & the restaurant was clean & a very cool spot. Highly recommend! ♡
This place is really nice. The food was amazing! Cant wait for the drive thru to start working.
i’ve been here give or take five or six times in the last three weeks, every single time I come the customer service is amazing and the people are very friendly, the food is always good, and it is the ideal stoner food for the area, I would definitely recommend it to anyone to try at least once. If you are not into the “junk” Food world i wouldn’t bother wasting your time looking for a salad. 5/5 and a great addition to the area.
First time here. Delicious Waffle fries and chicken. Staff are also helpful, patient and friendly!
First time me and my guys ordered from here 100 percent thee absolute best. Chicken sammy on point. the yoyo sauce was on a different level. huge pickles. slaw to yummy all in all outstanding. smash burger was go good. delivery time better and faster that stated. Will return soon thanks again
First time here. Went around 10pm: The food is fresh, great comfort food choice! Everything had just the right amount of grease, seasoning and texture. I had smash burger, mild and original tender and of course the waffle fries (they’re Great). Service was friendly and accommodating. Food was ready in 5 min! Worth the wait when it’s busy…
Decided to check this resto out as we were in the area and was looking for a place to have dinner in. Tried their rice bowl and burger plate + milkshake. Food was great! Tastes great and was served hot. The milkshake was creamy and really good. We ended up taking half of our food home as we were stuffed! Staff were friendly and helpful. I did not rate atmosphere because when we arrived the tables were all on the sides as their staff was mopping the floor and cleaning and it seems a lot of people are ordering/picking up for to go and it may have been a slow day. But highly recommended to try out if you're in the area and hungry.
I absolutely loved Yoyo Chicken! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. Great atmosphere, great food, and an overall excellent experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it!
Amazing experience. You will get your bang for your buck. The manager is a GEM. Very kind and Sweet. Great job MoMo for taking great care of my kids. I really appreciate the hospitality and food. My kids favorite was the Mozzarella sticks. I love the buffalo wings. 5 stars.
Someone brought this for my and they way that chicken and waffle fries are seasoned and fried perfectly this my new spot now thanks for a great meal
Very well done!!! From the clean atmosphere, the very friendly staff and the delicious yoyo chicken sandwich, this place def the best chicken sandwhich out there.
The crispy chicken platter was delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. The waffle fries were just as crispy and hot. Yo-yo has become one of my spot for a quick go to meal.
The YoYo Chicken Platter was delicious. Service was quick and professional. I wouldn't think this was a franchise because of how warm and friendly they were. Will be going back.
Great customer service and extremely helpful I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The food is amazing.
Absolutely amazing! The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous for the price. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean, and my order came out quickly. I've tried a lot of chicken places, and YoYo Chicken is definitely one of the best. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending it to my friends and family!
Beyond delicious! 🤤 ever since I tried their food I always make it a point to stop by when I can. 10 out of 10 service. Great staff, good food, clean space. I would recommend them to anyone to come by and try their food and milkshakes !
This place is out of this world, a must try for every newyorker, their Mac bowl and plates are exceptional. You will not find anything better . Their Yoyo sauce is a must try. 😋
Was here first time today... For sure will be coming here more often. Everything was freshly made. Tasted fresh and delicious! 🤤👌🏽 Now looking forward to try more from their menu. Highly recommend it 👌🏽☺️🤙🏼👏🏼
The young man at the register was super kind and professional. A lady came in asking for a soda and I was willing to cover the cost, he told me not to worry about it and gave it to her anyway. Service was great and food was super tasty. The wrap is huge and the smash burger is really tasty and flavorful.
Yoyo Chicken is a true local gem! I stopped by after a long, hot day and cooled down with a refreshing drink, an incredible chicken sandwich, and delicious waffle fries. The atmosphere is unmatched—it genuinely feels like you’ve been invited to a friend’s house for a home-cooked meal. You can tell how much pride they take in their work, from the cook deep in focus in the kitchen to the host who makes you feel like family. She told me I just missed a huge wave of customers, and given how good the food is, I'm not surprised! We chatted about the restaurant's fun, creative name (even if the neighborhood kids playfully tease it). Watching the host chat with those kids over a meal was heartwarming; it’s community at its core. When I think of chicken now, I think of Yoyo Chicken!
I had been curious about Yo-Yo Chicken for a while because the shop always caught my eye, so I finally decided to stop in—and I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, Mohammed, the owner, made me feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to meet someone who is so passionate about what they do. He truly cares about the quality of his food and making sure every customer leaves happy. His kindness, authenticity, and attention to detail really stood out and made the entire experience even better. The food was absolutely outstanding. Everything was cooked fresh, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. The menu has something for everyone, and based on what I had, I honestly believe you can’t go wrong with anything you order. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was clean and inviting, and the overall atmosphere made it a place you’ll want to come back to. If you’ve been thinking about trying Yo-Yo Chicken, do yourself a favor and go. Supporting local businesses like this is easy when they consistently deliver incredible food and exceptional customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a genuinely welcoming experience.
Took a long time to get our order tonight - honestly I think the workers didn't notice, considering they were talking quite a lot in the back. Others were having to wait a while for their food as well. Maybe they weren't expecting that volume of orders. They appeased some of us with free drinks or ice cream, thankfully. They did the right thing, so I'm giving them a good rating. The food is pretty good, the yoyo sauce especially. They give you a lot of food as well, so you definitely won't leave hungry. You can't go wrong with chicken over rice, or even the burrito. Just prepare to have some food leftovers.
The lemon pepper wings are so flavorful. The fries are also so crunchy and a perfect amount of spiciness would definitely recommend trying!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Went in with a few friends to go grab a bite and I was astonished. The food was absolutely delicious. It was fresh, hot, and perfectly crispy. Everything tasted so amazing. Excellent customer service and great food. The manager, Ronaldo, who was incredibly helpful while also making the whole experience easy and enjoyable. I had a great experience at YoYo Chicken.
I came in as a first timer and left pretty satisfied. The cashier, Emily, was a nice person, showed me all the options on the menu (an absurd amount of things btw) and was overall a good vibe. She was awesome, and the food was good too. Very good.
Got some takeout from here yesterday for the first time. We tried the wings and each of us had the YoYo Smash and Tender Plate which comes with waffle fries. The wings were crispy and tasty. I could not finish the food in my plate. Pricing reasonable. There was plenty. Good value for the money. We'll go back at some point, Liked the YoYo house sauce , too.
The food presentation and taste was amazing tonight, I got crispy over rice.
Amazing chicken and even better smash burgers. Food was quick and fresh and hot. Prices totally reasonable and the food is top tier. Owner really nice guy, too.
I had an amazing experience at YoYo Chicken in Smithtown! The food was fresh, 🔥hot🔥, and packed with flavor. The chicken🍗 was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the waffle fries were seasoned just right. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect. The restaurant was clean, the service was fast, and the overall atmosphere was great. If you’re looking for delicious fried chicken, burgers, and excellent customer service, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The best fries ever. The smash burger was perfect, the staff is very polite and friendly. Definitely worth the visit. ♥️
Yoyo Chicken has great food and amazing organic beverages. Everything tastes fresh, and the service is absolutely amazing. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and makes the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’d recommend!
Crispy chicken and flavorful waffle fries. Highly recommended
I prefer halal meat, so before this spot, Yo Yo Spot, my go-to place whenever I craved burgers was Holy Cow. But ever since I tried Yo Yo Spot and ordered their double beef smash burger, it’s honestly the best halal burger I’ve had. At Holy Cow, the buns sometimes overpower the burger because the patties are smaller. But here, the buns are a bit smaller and the beef portion is much better balanced. It was absolutely delicious and beyond my expectations.
Staff was very polite, fast, and knowledgeable. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean. I liked that you could see into the kitchen. And the food was delicious! We got Plates and it was a lot of food for one person.
Clean place. I had Jalapeno smash burger and it was really good. Fries could be more flavorful. Overall it’s a nice place worth to try
Staff is always kind and helpful. I love their burger platter deal, always flavorful and filling. We tried their new burger burrito and fell in love— thank you!
Excellent food and great service. Order was not too expensive for the portion i got. Chairs/tables are a little small and tight but space was limited anyway. Very clean and spotless, kitchen looked hygenic. Nice music playing. Food was delicious, smash burger w/ bacon is delightful and smooth. Chicken tenders were spicy and properly seasoned. Fries were crispy and sauce was good as well. The guy at the front recommended oreo milkshake and it was also tasty and washed everything down. Overall i would come back soon
Yo-Yo Chicken is easily one of the best spots I’ve tried recently. The food is consistently fresh, hot, and packed with flavor—especially the chicken, which is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. You can tell they really care about quality and getting things right. The menu has a great variety, so whether you’re in the mood for something classic or want to try something new, there’s always a solid option. The portions are generous too, so you definitely get your money’s worth. On top of that, the service is quick and friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s the kind of place you can go to regularly and never get tired of. If you’re looking for good comfort food that actually delivers on taste, Yo-Yo Chicken is 100% worth it.
This place was amazing. Great everything!! Chicken, Burgers, fries! Slamming!! Good portions. Fair price.
Great staff, always have a great attitude. great tasting food as usual !!! Love it !
I stop here alot on my way home, the medium heat chicken sandwich with extra slaw is consistently delicious. Anything you order always come with a side of sauce. The service is friendly and engaging. And its open late, 2am on weekdays 3am weekends. I look forward to my next visit.

It’s the little things by a that makes dining an experience. He was polite and made sure to see if there was anything I needed. Great vibe great food!!!!
Amazing food and really tasty! Try the Yoyo chicken plate and grilled chicken over rice everything is a 10/10!!!
YOU !! Really have to come eat here the chicken sandwiches and burgers are sooooo good !! Here in Deerpark gabby took my order and she was super helpful and sweet ! This is my favorite chicken spot in a very long time !!! Next time I’m gonna get their shakes
I had such an amazing experience at YOYO Chicken! Everything we tried was honestly top-tier — the milkshakes were rich and perfectly blended, the chicken was super crispy and flavorful, and the smash burger was juicy and cooked just right. The tenders were also delicious and fresh. On top of the food, the service was great and the whole vibe of the place made it even better. You can really tell they care about quality and customer experience. Definitely one of my new favorite spots — I’ll 100% be coming back again! Highly recommend 🙌
First and foremost, the food ABSOLUTELY SLAMMIN’!!! Second Dona made the experience all that much better!!!! if only every Mom and Pop Restaurant had such dedicated employees….
I made the decision to try Yoyo Chicken, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was pleasantly crispy, and although I typically do not enjoy waffle fries, they were also quite crispy. If you have not yet visited this establishment, I highly recommend that you do so. I will certainly return.
Amazing food highly recommended 🌸
First time eating from here and won’t be the last . Food is very flavorful , not salty and reasonable priced compared to other popular burger and chicken places . I tried the chicken sandwich and burger combo with fries . Delicious ! Also had the bbq wings , also delicious ! Didn’t eat inside so I cant comment on the in store experience but everyone was friendly .
Came here on the grand opening, and one of the best sandwiches I had by far in the city. I already been to their other location and everyone had high energy and vibes here! I LOVE YOYO 🐤🧡
The foood looks amazing!! Haven't tried it yet but moe and Jay were so nice to help me bring my huge milkshake order to my car! Ill post another review after I eat!! 😋 Update: I got the single smash burger with extra yoyo sauce it was sooooooooooo goood
Yoyo Chicken, yo this meal was superb and spot on!! Oh man the burgers was deliciously seasoned well, along with the fries, fish, and chicken...I'll be back doing my live review. Thank you for your spectacular customer service!!!! Please people stop by better than BK, McDs, and Wendy's...
Food is amazing as always, place is clean and food is halal , Alhamduillah I always enjoy at yoyo chicken ! Will be back! All staffs are kind and service is outstanding, polite and friendly people!
The first time I ate here. I felt like the menu was so overwhelming, but the staff was so very helpful of it being the first time there of what to order. And how to try a little bit of both, but I would have to say the food overall service atmosphere is amazing. Their chicken and their beef are like cooked to perfection to make you like. Wanna keep going back for more? We had one of the burger with the chicken. With the fries meals combos, it was delicious. And also, the prices were very decent and they opened late. When I mean late past 12am
The hot chicken sandwich was fantastic, 10/10. I also had the Double Smash burger with extra pickles and extra caramelized onions, also fantastic 9/10. I will be coming back for both items without a doubt, well done!
one of the best places ive gone to for delicious crispy chicken tenders and waffle fries. they were fried to perfection and we enjoyed the good crunch. id recommend the lemon pepper chicken tenders, they were delicious. i also liked the smash burger a lot, you get a lot for your money at this place. also customer service was 100000/10, the cashier was really kind and wonderful, she checked in during our meal and asked us if we enjoyed the lemon pepper tenders because she had recommended the flavor to me while i was ordering. definitely coming here again!!!
Kamy suggested me the YOYO Chicken Mac Bowl and it was absolutely delicious. He really helped me find the best food opinion to my liking. I would definitely come back for this.
The food is very delicious and not very expensive and the staff friendly , you should go.
The food was very delicious and the staff was very friendly thank u♥️♥️♥️♥️
I wish i could review this more this food is amazing 👏 would come here with my entire friend group
I got the mix platter and some wings. The waffle fries and chicken sandwich, excellent. My burger was overcooked. Had some chewy hard bits. The wings are good. Personally I prefer my wings to have more flavor even without sauce. My granny said it was the perfect amount of flavor for her.
Really good wings, especially the honey flavor! Tenders were super crunchy and fresh. Fries weren’t my favorite, but the place is clean, looks nice, and I’d come back again.
Great halal place for take out. I recommended the triple Jalapeno Jack, Best burger!!! If you like chicken wings, I recommend the Lemon Pepper wings with Yoyo sauce, so yummy. I always get these two things from the menu with fries and a milkshake.
The food was amazing. Had the mixed box chicken sandwich, smash burger and waffle fries. It was my cheat day so I went all out. I thought these were slider sized sandwiches but they aren’t, they are definitely a good size. They were so good i didn’t want to stop eating even though I was full. And less than $20 for the box (and i substitute for jack cheese and added jalapeno and pickles). Both Food and price made me happy. Will definitely revisit.
YoYo Chicken really did their thing 🔥 I’m big on flavor and they did not miss. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and seasoned perfectly, not dry at all. Portions are solid, prices make sense, and everything came out fresh. The vibes were good, service was smooth, and you can tell they care about what they’re putting out. If you’re outside looking for a spot that actually delivers, this is it. I’ll definitely be back 🍗💯
Need one out east!! Whenever I’m in the area it’s my treat, I’m obsessed lol. Also not pictured was the fruity pebbles milkshake, so good!!! Staff is really nice. Store is spacious & really clean!
I love this why you must ask there fresh food great customer service and the best food they make it fresh out of any yo yo chicken I would choose this one
I've been to a few of these yoyo chickens and the food is always amazing. Super crispy waffle fries and amazing smash burgers. But you can't forget their signature chicken sandwich. I'm not sure if the guy made a mistake but mines came with two chicken patties. No complaints here! And they definitely bless with that yoyo sauce
Came here Saturday night with my boyfriend after a really long day and it honestly hit perfectly. I ordered the smash burger and tender plate and everything was so good. The burger was juicy with crispy edges and full of flavor, definitely hit the spot. The tenders were cooked really well and the waffle fries were fresh and crunchy, not greasy at all. One plate per person was more than enough, we left super full and satisfied. Sanya took great care of us and made sure our food came out on time and that we had everything we needed. She was very helpful and attentive the whole time. The food came out fast and fresh, which made the experience even better. Overall the food was amazing and really fulfilling, perfect comfort food after a long day. Definitely coming back again.
Amazing new food spot in Ridgewood !! I had the Jalapeño smashburger (double), waffle cut fries and the Cookie Butter milkshake and i was really satisfied. everything was good, perfectly cooked, and that milkshake was amazing. nice and prompt customer service as well. i’ll definitely try their chicken next time. highly recommend
10/10 will definitely be back!! My friends and i came last night and got the chicken tenders, sandwiches, smash burgers, loaded fries bowl , strawberry dragon fruit drink and rice pudding with strawberry ice cream on top! all were phenomenal, i’ve had the sandwich before but the loaded fries , smash burgers, drinks and rice pudding were too good. the sauce is really good too, get extra!! dragon fruit drink was fresh and so was the mango one! the owner was kind and gave us samples, and when we received our food he gave a complimentary rice pudding with strawberry ice cream! it was amazing, the rice pudding was the best i’ve had and the ice cream was fresh with real strawberries, it also had a drizzle of honey and a biscoff cookie!!
Their chicken is some of the most juicy and crunchy… it has a special seasoning I can tell because it’s not a typical chicken flavor however it’s not some way off flavor it definitely gives fried chicken flavor … tonight I opted for just a chicken sandwich because I got off late … I greeted the guy behind the register and i started telling him how much I liked the chicken and he gave me the brilliant idea to give them a google review lol 🤣… I agreed however I was hungry and said to myself that I will make sure I do it another time because I was gonna buss my sandwich down … now the sandwich has already came with sauce but as I was eating I was like dang I could use some extra sauce … I went in the yo-yo chicken bag to retrieve the pregnancy 🤰🏽Test I bought and to my surprise there was an extra cup of sauce 😊… that’s when I knew I had to produce this review Tonight‼️
Ordered on uber eats and it came very quickly. I got the burger and tender meal which was delicious. The fries were great too. My wife got the yo yo waffle smash which was the smashed burger meat on the waffle fries with their sauce which she really liked. The fry sauce is great too. Loved the food and will definitely get again. Highly recommend.
Just came to give this place a shout out because it’s my first time trying it and they’re brand new!! The food was fresh, delicious, and ready on time. I was tended to by a young lady who was super sweet. I love that they have their own fresh made drinks, we got the mango refresher which was soooo good. We ordered chicken wings, Mac and cheese, and grilled chicken over rice with yoyo sauce. No complaints whatsoever plus the prices are great so we will 100% be back!! P.S… they read the notes, I asked for caramelized onion for my rice bowl and got a generous serving of them!! I also added hot honey and that was super delish.
This place BLEW MY MIND. The service is beyond outstanding and the food took me out of the world. I got a free rice pudding and discount for next time because of an issue with the grill. The staff are so friendly and hospitable. Never have I had service any better than YoYo. This is my new go to spot and I’m bringing my friends. Although the prices can be a little high here, this restaurant is as perfect as it can get! UPDATE: I came back recently and spoke with Abraham, one of the managers. He mentioned the team had seen my earlier review and were so happy to read it, which truly made my day. I tried the biscoff milkshake this time... it’s easily my new favorite item on the menu! Abraham also kindly upgraded it to a large and offered a discount for my next visit. The thoughtfulness and genuine hospitality here keep me coming back.
The culinary experience was exceptionally delectable, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am confident that I will return for another visit in the near future.
Food was immaculate!! The team were very helpful on choosing my meal and friendly. The portions are huge and delicious. This is the best customer service I’ve had in a long time. Also, the milkshakes are heaven in a cup. Thank you Nasser, Moe and the cook they all had great teamwork. They need a raise! My food was ready in 5 minutes. Great eats. Highly recommend.
I went her for the first time and they had really good spicy chicken, the "very hot" version was delicious, especially when eaten with their signature sauce 🤤. Their waffle fries was very crispy and filling, the refreshers and strawberry milkshake was also very good. It's a very good halal fast food place that you should try. Their customer service was good, they were nice and pretty funny. They had a quiet and not su busy atmosphere, which I liked, it helped me and my friends to feel more comfortable.
Discovered this spot November 2024 & have been a few times since. Great prices & portions!! First time here, the owner/manager had a late night special of $5.99 for certain sandwiches like the grilled chicken & fish sandwiches that we ordered in addition to their tenders & smash burger. All were delicious!! The tenders are HUGE!! The size puts Raising Cane's to shame!! They're the same size as the ones used to make their chicken sandwiches. On another visit, I had their wet lemon pepper wings, they were 🔥! Great customer service, always consistent with their quality & quantity. Try their fountain Hibiscus and Mango drinks. Small in-dining area has only 3 tables. Food is made fresh to order so either order ahead or plan for a little wait if you walk in!
Amazing service. The employees are so charismatic and friendly and the kitchen looks extremely clean. Although you can’t sit down and eat I would recommend this place to everyone. I especially love their waffle fries and their chocolate milkshake. The milkshake is thick and creamy and you can really taste the chocolate. They also put whip cream on the milkshake and they sometimes give you a discount. The waffle fries are absolutely divine their equally crunchy and greasy texture just makes the whole experience amazing. This place completely blows away all my expectations and I would definitely go again. Their sauce is also amazing and goes with everything on the menu.
This is a great halal chicken spot. Staff was very friendly. This was my first time here. Manager offered us complimentary drinks and a side yoyo sauce to try. I ordered the six piece yoyo chicken tenders and a side of waffle fries. The tenders are nice and meaty. Super moist on the inside. I was given crinkle fries instead of waffle fries. Which is fine. Cheese fries were really good. The mango juice and the lemonade mixed with strawberry juice were delicious. Everything was made to order. Nice and fresh and flavorful. Definitely will be returning to try out their Yoyo plates. All around a good solid spot. They open until 3am on the weekends.
Delicious chicken spot in the neighborhood. There is huge competition lately. Lots of chicken spots opening around. This place also has burgers 🍔. Very delicious. The special sauce is great. I like the way the shop is decorated. Lots of graffiti style lettering.
Yoyo Chicken is a fast casual chicken place parked on East 14th Street--serving up menu of comfort/ fast foods like fried chicken sandwiches, fried chicken bowls, wings, burgers, fries, and more. it's a small colorful clean interior with a few seats by way of ledge + stools and lots of bright lights. picked up an order of Chopped Crispy Chicken over rice comes with waffle fries, pickles, and coleslaw. there's touchscreen ordering if the order counter is busy. my order didn't take that long to make after ordering by a food app. my order was packaged well. the food wasn't super hot in temperature, so i assume some of the food is pre-batched. i thought the chopped fried chicken ("crispy chicken" tasted fine...wasn't super crispy and most of the flavor seemed to come from the YoYo sauce which is pretty good. the rice was fine as well--not much to note as it does its job of soaking up the yoyo sauce and chicken flavor. wished the waffle fries were crispier, but who would complain about French fries that are cooked competently? not me. there's also pickles + coleslaw to add a cooling element to the platter. though nothing in the platter is all that spicy. the portions of everything from the chicken to the rice to the fries is plentiful--they don't skimp on the main items. to me, the chicken over rice scene has so many options in terms of brick and mortar and food trucks...that I'd probably opt for a sandwich or a Mac n cheese platter and pass on the chicken over rice, here, even though it's fine, just not all that memorable in terms of a meal option. the service is quick and efficient--so no complaints there. definitely YoYo Chicken is a good option to have when you want comfort food in the form of a fast casual meal, but i think in terms of the East Village...you have a lot of options, so competition is fierce when we are talking about everyday takeout options.
It was a nice little place. Food was ok, I wasnt wowed. I only tried the mild chicken sandwich and Mac and cheese. I will go back and try smash burger. Place was clean service was fast.
Some of the best chicken sandwiches I have had. Much better than the chicken sandwich at the popular fast food places. Good service. The space is small but there is some seating if you don't mind the tight space. It can get cramped when busy. The atmosphere is OK. The first time I went there was a man hanging out asking people for money and to buy him food. This time it was mostly kids there. They didn't bother me so I stayed and ate. I think ordering to go is best. FYI. Even the regular chicken has a hint of spice
i ordered on uber eats and got the buy1 get 1 free and it was my first time ordering . the chicken was good. the fries was good . the cole slaw was goood.. the rice was disgusting. that’s why i gave a 4 star because everything else was so good but the rice tasted strange like cinnamon to me.
Pretty good food! If you like Dave's Hot Chicken mixed with Shake Shack, you'll get both here at around 80% of both. Prices are definitely high for the area, but if you need that fix, you could do worse.
Tasty chicken, waffle fries and cheese burger. Cheap eats, lovely. The sauce is fire too. Hala friendly! Highly recommend this location. It's on doordash also.
Absolutely love their food! I tried the chicken sandwich, waffle fries and Mac & cheese with a fruity pebble vanilla milk shake. The chicken sandwich and fries were perfectly seasoned and cooked! I even love their yo yo sauce! My milkshake was the perfect combo of sweet and tasty, also not too thick but also not watery at all! The service from the staff was amazing, there was this particular employee that stood out to me I wish I could remember her name, she helped me and my friend with the menu and even came to our table to check on us! I have no complaints! Definitely worth the visit here
I had one of the plates, a smash burger, a lemon pepper chicken sandwich, and a Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake with waffle fries. It was 3 of us and it came out to about 50$. The shake was pretty good, just a vanilla shake with cereal in it. The chicken sandwich was better than the burger. Chicken was crispy but tender. My daughter had the very hot chicken sandwich and said it wasn’t that hot. Wife had the chicken tenders and didn’t care for them much. Overall not a bad place to eat once in a while, definitely would go back. Cashier that rang us up brought out our food to our table and was nice. Overall not a bad place, limited menu options is why only rated 4 stars.
When I found out a new restaurant was replacing the quickly shuttered taco spot, I was happy. I was less impressed that it was a halal chicken place only given the fact that there is a halal Kennedy Fried Chicken across the street so it was something completely different coming to the area. I never heard of the brand until it came. It has a great location being right next to the b41/b103 bus stop heading to Kings Plaza/Canarsie. There is no seating but high counters along the window so you can stand and eat. It is a shame due to the space they have available. The person at the counter is generally nice and answers questions and gives recommendations. I think it has a range of items though if you go in person, you have to deal with the menu flashing too quickly on the screen to get a good glance of the options. Luckily they provide a paper menu. I ordered the chicken tenders (mild) as my first taste since I was planning to share with family. It comes with Texas toast and a yo yo sauce. I was informed that the spice options for tenders (original, mild, medium, hot, very hot, lemon pepper) were seasonings so you can’t order it separately. For sauces, you should order wings. The amount of meat you get from the tenders is decent for the price. The seasonings used were not my favorite and they were unevenly applied. I might have been better off getting it hotter or lemon pepper. The Texas toast was provided but it was underneath the chicken as to soak up the tender juice as opposed to being separate so I couldn’t judge it on its own merits. The yoyo sauce was decent and a great compliment to the chicken. This meal was similar in taste to me to Raising Canes. The Texas toast and sauce add ons definitely helped but while the chicken wasn’t as crispy as Canes, the juiciness and relative lack of flavor go hand in hand. I wouldn’t order the same thing again but I would be willing to order something else from the menu like the Mac bowl, burger or the fish options
