Peeps Kitchen

- more like 3.5- take out only there's only a small bench outside- ten minute turnover- Jimbos bar is around the corner if u want somewhere to sit and wait- even the 'small' gives a quite large portion it was so big the top would not even cover it- the two staff members were very nice, courteous, and friendly they out up with all my dumb questions- food stays hot for a long time- I bought Gang Teong it was alright the lady said this was most popular she liked the Padak, better

One of my new favorites!How is it that I just found out about Peeps Kitchen just now!? First off, let me just say no matter what fried chicken you choose, it will all be so tender and juicy, there is no bad fried chicken here.I personally go for the thrilling padak with the fried-crunchy-for-days chicken breast with dijon mustard-soy on the side and julienned scallions is my favorite. If getting this to go, the pro tip would be to put the fried chicken in a bowl when you get home and pour the sauce over it and mix well. Top with the sprinkled julienned scallions for a perfect padak. The Gang Jeong version with the house sauce is also a favorite. This sweet and spicy topped with sesame seed and almonds is a great contrast to the original. I have yet to try their chicken burger but it's on my list to try soon!There is no onsite seating but this fried chicken won't get soggy so not to worry. Get your hands dirty at home!Finally the owners are just beautiful people serving up fantastic delicious food with a smile on their face every time I walk in no matter how back breaking it is to run a business as a small mom and pop in the world today. Give these lovely people a smile and a break when you walk in and wait outside if possible because it's tight inside. Order ahead and wait patiently, great food is worth the wait!

Service: ?/5Food: 4.5/5Ambiance: takeout onlyMom + Pop run / hole-in-the-wall / hidden jem of a place. Solid Korean fried chicken, great for groups! Ordered 2 large combos to feed 5 people + we had so much leftover, everyone got a second meal out of it.Tip: I think the combos used to come w/ pickled radish, but not anymore, you gotta order it on your own!What I Ordered:- Combo B: stayed crispy even after a commute. juicy + I think the thighs come de-boned- Seasoned Fries: skip it, dry, stale + no flavor- Sweet Potato Fries: soggy, no other flavor besides its natural sweetness - Kimchi: fresh, not spicy- Scallion Ginger Sauce: tasted a little like honey mustard, my fav so far- Soy Garlic Sauce: classic- Sweet + Spicy Sauce: actually quite spicy (for a person w/ low tolerance)- Extreme Hot Sauce: I did not attempt, but friends said first bite was unexpected

Amazing crunch on the fried chicken, great flavor all around, and super kind service. No place to sit inside as its very small, but a GREAT takeout option. That was some amazing fried chicken, solid fries and I'd recommend it!

We got this delivered because our friends recommended this place very strongly!! We got medium size chicken thigh (6pcs of big thighs) and Gang Jeong Box. The chicken was crispy and delicious. And the sauces were delicious, too. I was just expecting more punch and oomph to the flavor, but some of the sauces were difficult to tell what the MAIN PUNCH flavor was. Loved the box deal but kimchi, too, I feel like could've had more flavors too it. The chicken were great but I feel that the flavoring could've been more bold!!

Super fucking good. Spicy on the side not for the weak of heart. It is damn spicy!! Got me sweating. Amazing crunch

This is a take out only spot. Ordered the Korean fried chicken wings with the sweet and spicy sauce. Would definitely order the wings again! Wings were crispy and sauce was good. The only drawback is that you have to pay for the sauce separately. One of the top places in the Greenpoint/Williamsburg area for Korean fried chicken wings.

I saw peeps kitchen from a reel on Instagram claiming it's the best Korean fried chicken so as a Korean chicken lover, I had to try. I got the peeps gang jeong and the fried chicken thighs with soy garlic and sweet and spicy sauce. The woman owner was very friendly and she told me the past three days, they have been really busy. I wonder if it's because of that Instagram reel? Who knows. The store is very bare bones. it's only two people working there and you can see the kitchen right there. There is a bench outside you can sit in if you need to wait though...and we had to wait like 40 minutes due to how busy they were. That's fine. The chicken is a tad bit more expensive than bon Chon and bb.q Korean fried chicken but it was delicious. The soy garlic and the sweet and spicy sauces were on the side but tasted great to dip it in. It's very similar to other Korean fried chicken places. The gang jeong is the highlight of the meal though. It ended up being a bit cold due to the commute I took but it was very flavorful, the garlic was a nice addition, had great sauce and was nicely crispy. I wish it was closer, had seats and was cheaper....but no complaints at all about the food. When I ate it on the subway, a guy even came up to me and asked me where I got that due to how aesthetically pleasing it was.

My favorite Korean fried chicken in all of NYC. First off, Peeps Kitchen is run by the sweetest couple ever. They are the friendliest, warmest people you'll ever meet. You can really tell that their food is a labor of love, and you'll taste it in every bite!Like all the other reviews mention, there's no seating, so make sure to call ahead of time. They also don't start serving chicken until dinner, so plan accordingly. For lunch, they exclusively serve bento boxes (I have yet to try them, but it's definitely on my list).Now to the chicken--the glorious crunchy chicken that is Peeps. The crunch is just absolutely insane. If you get sauce, definitely ask for it on the side so that your chicken doesn't get soggy. After the crunch comes the tender, juicy insides, so fresh and delicious. The texture of their chicken is an experience in and of itself. Their soy garlic sauce is perfection, and if you want a little bit of a kick, they have a couple of spicy options.You also MUST get their tteok kkochi (fried rice cake w/sausage skewers). The texture of the rice cakes is incredible. Crispy around the edges but super chewy and soft on the inside. The sausage is also always grilled perfectly, and the spicy sauce that comes on top is delectable. It's also a perfect snack to eat on the go! Peeps is just THE place for Korean fried chicken.

Gangjeong chicken is so good and the people who work here are the nicest people ever. Love them and the place
