Crispy Burger East Village

Walked by, was feeling like a slice of pizza or something i can grab and go. Their sign said crispy chicken sandwich is a must try. Yeah, it is. Damn that was good. Will come back when i go to 10th street sauna again.

Chicken is made fresh on the spot (like breaded etc. when ordered) so you know it’s legit, the owner focuses on chicken quality foremost in the meal so chicken fans rejoice!! It is very flakey and perfectly seasoned, definitely a must try, they take their food quality seriously!!! Sorry we didn’t take a picture of the food, it was too good so we scarfed it down immediately :)

I was traveling in china in May and really missed the fried chicken in the neighborhood. I was so surprised that I found this place. I got the crispy chicken burger and 3 piece tenders. The fried chicken is exactly like the one I had in china! It's so crispy and tender. The meat is juicy and when you tear it, the meat just cames off easily. The bun is soft and ingredients are incredibly fresh. They make everything to order so when your food comes out, it is piping hot. The lady in the front is so hospitable and nice. The store is open by a family and the service is phenomenal. This is my second time here and I will keep coming back. I can easily say the fried chicken here is easily one of the best I’ve had in NYC.

((4.25 stars)) did a pickup order from Crispy Burger for dinner back in December, 2024--i know, i know i type slow or life happens or some mix of events prevents you from getting things done on time. anyway, this very much is a fried chicken place--fried chicken by the piece (wings, thighs, breasts, or drumsticks) or nuggets, fried chicken burgers, and variety of sides like fries. onion rings, and more. they do burgers, grilled chicken sands as well as fried fish sandwiches but the focus is on the fried BIRD! little bit of wait when i went to pick up my order but i do think the food here is made to order, so it's not like they are just warming up pre-made food. and the from-scratch approach makes for a good Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which is what I ordered via a food app. the sandwich is accurately described on their menu as "fresh hand breaded chicken, with secret mayonnaise, and lettuce on a buttered toasted Martin's potato bun." the chicken piece is super crispy because it is heavily breaded and really locks in the seasoning's flavor and juiciness of the chicken. the flavorful fried chicken patty is anything but dry bc they are using dark or thigh meat, i believe... i opted for the spicy option which just adds a little bit of heat and additional flavor but it's still fairly mild heat-wise. the mayo or aioli sauce couples nicely with the fried chicken piece along with the crunch of the lettuce and the soft toasted potato roll. overall, a good satisfying sandwich that is a cut above the rinse-and-repeat of an okay chicken sandwiches from huge fast food places. the staff isn't very chatty, but they seem busy getting your food ready as quickly as possible. the space is really really small but colorful and cleanly maintained. there weren't any tables and chairs when i was here bc it has more of a delivery/takekout vibe. overall, this place serves enjoyable comfort food via a menu that centers around fried chicken and ain't nothing wrong with that!

Hit late at night after going out. Fried chicken sandwich was very crispy and hot. Not much flavor without the sauces tho, but it costs extra for sauce. Not as good as Jollibee or CFA
