    This might be the city's best spicy chicken sandwich. Chef David Chang takes succulent thigh meat, dredges it in an habenero batter, fries it, and places it on a butter-slicked bun with tart pickles. Read more

    Order the star of the show, The Fuku fried chicken sandwich, add lots of Ssäm sauce. Congratulate yourself, you just ate the best dark meat chicken sandwich of your life.

    This is the only location to grab the Fuku bites. These are chewy, spicy, crunchy improvements to the classic chicken nugget. It's also the only place you can sample Mission Chinese Fuku fingers.

    Have a saam sauce michelada at the bar while you wait for a table to open. Then order a Juicy Lucy, a mini fuku sandwich, and fries. That's just for you. 🍺🍔 🐓🍟🇰🇷

    Where a barebones menu of a spicy fried chicken sandwich, fries, salad and a cookie are the extent of the offerings in the East Village, the new outpost features an expanded "walk-in menu." Read more

    Perfect casual dining spot in midtown, but very tiny. Juicy Lucy burger was great, and the fried chicken sandwich perfect. The real star of the show though was the pork flatbread, absolutely amazing.

    A bar above David Chang's chinese/southern food fusion restaurant. The food at the bar is excellent and faster and more affordable than Ma Peche, the full restaurant. Also, the happy hour is great!

    Sadly, the Juicy Lucy is gone. However, it was replaced by the awesome MP Burger, with bacon onion jam that made my belly very happy.

    The menu is pretty limited, but the spicy chicken sandwich is delicious. It's a simple, no frills kind of place. If you are in the mood for dessert try the dulce de leche truffles.

    For the name and price, you can't beat it. Super delicious, good proportions, and alcohol is cheap too for NYC. The spicy wings are SPICY, I mean to die for spicy, be prepared.

    Oh my glory! Spicy Nachos, mission chicken tenders, chicken sandwich. All amazing. And the tenders are freaking out of this world spicy.

    Space is really small and was quiet at dinner time. Chicken sandwich was great, no surprise there. Flatbread was good and the fried chicken bites were good too.

    Minime fried chicken sandwich - it was so good that I was tempted to order second one! However, alcohol beverages have room to improve

    Fuku fingers are the best of fuku chicken and tingly mala Mission Chinese spices. And it's white meat! 👌🏼

    The minime fried chicken sandwich is a must get! The chicken was super juicy and a relatively large portion too. Comes in a cafeteria style aluminum bag and tray.

    The nachos are out of this world. Go later for lunch to avoid the crowd and hopefully get a table!

    The MP Burger was delicious! Bacon jam + juicy burger. I was visiting from Atlanta and found the fried chicken sandwich underwhelming.

    the mission chinese chicken fingers are incredibly spicy. delicious, but it's definitely a shared dish. it's hard to eat several!

    Great happy hour cocktails 5-7pm daily $7. The Koreano (Spicy Chicken Sandwich w/ Daikon radish) was over-cooked but I'd get it again.

    It's priced awesome. The chicken sandwich and fries are dope. And grab a dessert at Milk bar on way out.

    Hidden inside Ma Peche, this location has a loaded fries not on the menu at the original Fuku. They are EVERYTHING.

    The fuku fingers change flavors all the time, but remain the must-have item on the menu.

    The juicy Lucy and minime chicken sandwich are great! Wasn't too impressed by the nuggets, though. Would skip those and go straight for a sandwich.

    Incredibly salty (and that's after a night of drinking). Chicken sandwich is good but I'd rather have Chick-fil-a.

    the mini me is good, but everything else we had (mission chinese fuku fingers, szechuan flatbread, and the fries) was SO salty. i felt like i was curing my innards.

    Go to the original Fuku instead. This place may have more menu items (a plus) but the chicken sandwich here does not rival the other location.
