"The first time I tried this spot I realized my hunt for the best Korean fried chicken was over: the gang jeong (sweet glazed fried chicken) and padak (scallion chicken) are immediate hits, and even the classic fried chicken drumsticks are expertly butchered so the skin soaks up more batter for maximum crispiness; the chef-owner often throws extra chicken-skin crispies into the box, which make perfect beer snacks, and his background running Korean fried chicken franchises in Korea shows in the technique." - Irene Yoo
"Korean fried chicken, done well, should still have some crunch to it after a few minutes in a takeout box — and the containers of boneless fried bird at Peeps never disappoint. This Greenpoint restaurant has no indoor seating, so count on a well-oiled takeout and delivery operation slinging orders of fried wings and glazed gangjeong chicken. Place orders for pickup online or over the phone to avoid a wait outside the shop." - Eater Staff
"Peep’s Kitchen is one of Greenpoint’s best-kept secrets. The small, family-run shop specializes in Korean fried chicken. The gangjeong preparation, pictured here, is stir-fried in a sticky, sweet sauce, then topped with sesame seeds and sliced almonds, but the padak is also good: It comes without sauce and has shaved scallions on top. The small restaurant does not have indoor seating, but it’s a great takeout option in the area and serves its food on most delivery apps." - Emma Orlow
"Stop by Peeps Kitchen for some serious fried and glazed chicken, with wings that come with sweet and spicy, soy garlic, or “extreme” sauces. It’s easy to pick out the restaurant from its blue mural depicting chicks grazing in chef’s hats along McGuiness Boulevard. There’s no seating, but the restaurant is located a short distance from McCarren Park and delivers on most ordering platforms." - Eater Staff
"I’d count this takeout counter in Greenpoint among underrated spots that haven’t quite gotten the buzz they deserve." - Eater Staff
