I saw a review of FUKU a couple of months back and saved it in Google maps as I am a literal chicken head and had to try this spot. Happened to be randomly cutting through the catacombs under Rock Center today and came across the fuku shop located near the entrance to Top of the Rock. Now as a NY'r I would never come this way as it's bonafide tourist trap so I was surprised when the halls were practically empty and FUKU was LINE FREE!! OMG!!!! I promptly popped in perused the menu and grabbed a sweet and spicy chicken sando and was pleasantly surprised at the taste, freshness, and hardiness of the sandwich. The bun was super fresh which and the sandwich wasn't overly saturated sauce which made it a perfect balanced combination I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied for the day by 11:45AM!!! Will definitely pop in again to try another sandwich or will I get the same one? Hmmmmmm

Amazing Food, Amazing Service, Amazing Atmosphere. Spicy food is a requirement in my life. Fuku has now been added to my Takeout NyC list. My favorite is the chicken bacon ranch. I heard the cashier say “CBR sando”. I just love their nicknames for their menu items. I can’t wait to try the knockout sando. Hope it doesn’t knock me out 😂. Now I’m excited about these loaded fries. Those fries were “bussing bussing”.💥 I think that’s slang my nephew use when food is really good. They had the shortest cutest little manager there that was nice enough to pack my order nice and neat for takeout. I’m excited about my next visit.

I really want to write a positive review, because the food is excellent, but I find it difficult to do so in good conscience. While the food is probably some of the best fast food fried chicken you will find, the combination of exorbitant pricing (even when location is taken into account) and poor and slow service makes this a fairly unattractive option. For example, yesterday, there was a line with about 20 people. I have no problem waiting, understanding it will take time to get through orders. However, during that 20 minutes, there were only 3 people waiting for orders and only 1 additional order was taken. None of the 3 got their orders. I decided to go elsewhere because I needed to get back to work. Several times, I have also been charged for upgrades and not received them (sweet and spicy chicken on the dirty fries being the most common, while only receiving the regular chicken, which is a cheaper upgrade). If speed and service get better, I will be happy to amend my review in the future and provide more stars, because this place has the potential to be so much better.

This sandwich isn't better than other fast food chicken sandwiches. It's a little dry and a lot pricey. But it's definitely not the worst sandwich I've ever had.

I really enjoy coming into the roc location Chrystal ,Ms Gail , Trent and Carrie are always putting a smile on my face. Food is amazing and the music always is a breath of air from our elevator music in office !!

Came here for the first time for their free sando promo. Soo was very nice, helpful and recommended a good tea for me based on my preferences. Will definitely be back to try other menu items!

Chrystal, Jayden and Ms.Gail were excellent and their hospitality was off the chain. It was closing time and they treated me with patience and my food was on point. It’s way better than Popeyes!
