The Essentials

Our most famous double-fried, made to order, boldly sauced flavors. Always satisfying, iconic picks that keep the crowd coming back for more.

  • Yangnyeom half chicken, ten boneless pieces in a red gochujang glaze with scallion and sesame, on a black plate.

    01

    Yangnyeom Half

    Gochujang, garlic and a little sugar, brushed on the second fry so the crust stays a crust. Sweet at the front, hot at the back.

    $25 10 pc - feeds 2
  • A whole chicken on a long black platter, one half glazed dark soy garlic brown and the other half bright red gochujang.

    02

    Half and Half Whole

    A whole bird, one half soy garlic and one half yangnyeom, because nobody at the table agrees. The second sauce never costs extra.

    $38 20 pc - feeds 3 to 4
  • Dolsot bibimbap in a hot stone bowl, vegetables in wedges around a raw egg yolk, steam rising.

    03

    Dolsot Bibimbap

    Stone bowl, straight off the flame. Press the rice into the sides and leave it a minute - the crust on the bottom is the whole point.

    $18 Feeds 1
  • Grilled chicken and scallion skewers on a black plate, glazed and charred at the edges.

    04

    Dakkochi

    Chicken thigh and scallion off the grill, glazed twice while it cooks so the sauce catches and chars at the edges. The one to order while you're still deciding.

    $14 3 skewers - feeds 1 to 2
  • A Korean corndog on a stick, crusted in cubes of fried potato and dusted with sugar, on a black plate.

    05

    Korean Corndog

    Half mozzarella and half sausage, rolled in potato cubes, fried to order and dusted with sugar. Pull it apart slowly and the cheese comes with it.

    $8 1 skewer - feeds 1

Our story

From the streets of Seoul to W 32nd

It started with a craving: crispy, double-fried chicken and a cold beer at the end of a long day. We wanted to bring that feeling to NYC - the kind of place where the food is simple, the vibe is easy, and the memories stick.

Here, the rule is simple: nothing gets fried until you order it. No heat lamps, no shortcuts. Just chicken the way it's meant to be. The room's small, the noise grows after nine, and the fryer line is always in sight. That sizzle? That's the sound of good times.

We're on W 32nd because this is where the city comes to unwind. Walk-ins welcome. Put your name down, grab a beer, and we'll find you.

Reviews

The Word on W 32nd

*****

"Waited 20 minutes and would wait 40. Still crunching three pieces in, which isn't something I can say about anywhere else on this block."

Dana R.

*****

"Got the half and half so we'd stop arguing. The soy garlic won. The radish is free and I ate an unreasonable amount of it."

Marcus T.

*****

"Loud, bright, packed at 11 PM on a Wednesday. Exactly what I want from a chicken and beer place. The Late Shift lager is dangerous."

Priya S.

****

"Red Hot is genuinely hot, not novelty hot. Order the Double Fry with it. No reservations so go early or go late."

Kevin O.

*****

"They tell you the wait when you order instead of pretending there isn't one. Small thing. Changed how I felt about sitting there."

Alina W.

*****

"Chimaek for Two is the move if there are two of you. Whole chicken, two sauces, two drafts, and you're still out under fifty."

Josh L.

*****

"Snow Onion is the sleeper. Everyone went for the red first and then spent the rest of the night reaching across the table for mine."

Renee C.

*****

"Came for the chicken and kept thinking about the corn cheese. We ordered a second skillet and nobody at the table argued about it."

Tomas B.

****

"Bar seats only on a Friday, which is fine, you're looking at the fryer line anyway. Roast House porter with the honey butter is a strange call that works."

Sam D.

*****

"The corndog is eight dollars and better than it has any right to be. Get one while you wait. That's the whole tip."
