Fuku is David Chang's lively counter-serve haven for crispy fried chicken sandwiches and exciting sides, now with a dash of boozy fun.
"Fuku has been overhauled to include new menu items such as waffle fries, rice and beans, mac and cheese, and an all-day bone-in fried chicken program. Despite the exciting new additions, the bone-in fried chicken falls short in quality, suffering from issues like excessive oiliness and lack of flavor. The classic sandwich and sides like mac and cheese and waffle fries are strong offerings, but the fried chicken itself needs significant improvement to compete with established chains like Popeye’s and KFC." - Ryan Sutton
"On the off days I don’t bring my lunch, I look forward to the fried dark chicken bites ($3.50) at Fuku, covered in a thick, crunchy crust that’s laden with salt and flavorful spices. To make myself feel vaguely healthy, I pair them with a salad, which now that it’s spring is the scallion goddess version ($11), served with greens, green cabbage, radishes, asparagus, chopped egg, pickled red onions, wasabi peas, and scallion green goddess dressing. It used to be kale, which was a little unwieldy, but this version is a bit more refined, and the wasabi peas add a satisfying crunch and heat." - Eater Staff
