Serious EatsMay 24, 2013Questlove's fried chicken, dumpling, cupcake, and slushy shop in Chelsea Market. The fried chicken is good, if way overpriced, and the slushies are even better. Dumplings and cupcakes are a pass.
Gigi CJune 13, 2013The biscuits once butter was added was amazing..Popeyes better watch out.! The chicken was juicy and well seasoned although there is no cute way to eat it ladies lol!
Geoff KimJuly 11, 2013Find a friend. Share a box of (?)Questlove's fried drumsticks. Marvel at the crunchiness and juiciness of the meat. Die.
Mr. KellyMay 20, 2013I thought drumsticks was a weird idea but, hey what do I know. Hybird is a worthy challenger in the Best Fried Chicken conversation. The dumplings are fantastic. A must try.
Elizabeth EMay 17, 2013The Cheesed & Chard and Creme de la Crab dumplings are not to be missed! Great collaboration between Starr Restaurants and QuestLove!
Uche WSeptember 6, 2013More pieces have been added. No more dumplings. The biscuit with honey butter and the honey ginger lemonade are delicious
The New YorkerAugust 8, 2013“The clear standout on the menu, however, is the watermelon-jalapeño slushy: the definition of refreshing, with a bonus bracing kick.” Read more
Danielle CarrickMay 17, 2013Ginger honey lemonade will surprise you on first sip. It's very tart, very sweet and very good but too strong to finish.
ChelseaJuly 11, 2013New York Magazine Cheap Eats issue recommends two drumsticks ($7.50) and the truffled-egg dumplings ($7).
esther parkJune 12, 2013Questlove's chicken joint. Meh. Drumsticks are HUGE...so then you have to wonder....is this natural? Creme de la crab is delicious.
zanettaSeptember 3, 2013They gave up the dumplings to make room for other chicken parts. The chicken is excellent.
Jeanette PMay 29, 2013Pineapple red curry cupcake and honey ginger lemonade. The latter could use some vodka...
SyJune 12, 2013Nothing really to write home about apart from it's expensive for what it is. Chicken feels like it's GMO being so big and it's kinda meh. The crab dumplings were awesome but cheese/chive again just ok
Niffy SpectorSeptember 7, 2013As a Philadelphian (hi Questlove) and fried chicken aficionado, I wanted to love this place. I hated it. Chicken was greasy and soggy...no crunch! The biscuit was the only saving grace...very good.

"Amazing fried chicken. Got signature combo. Crispy spicy fried chicken was so flavorful. Shouldve gotten 2-3 pcs. Mashed potatoes were very good, kwa kwa bao was good but not as much as I thought."

"A really cool indoor market we found by accident after looking for food. There's pretty much everything you need and more in this place and a nice break from the rain/Sun depending on the season"
