Harlem’s HungryDecember 30, 2017Food was delicious#halfbird moist and flavorful. Gotta try the waffles. The chicken and waffle combo is not bad but the chicken piece given is too small. Great vibes and superb staff.#newhome#harlem
Yasmina BackströmFebruary 11, 2016Greatest place for chicken in nyc! Great ambiance, amazing food and good prices! Do not miss this place, it is a gem in Harlem run by Swedish chef Marcus Samulesson!

Block to Block NYCSeptember 28, 2015We loved the bartenders. One made us special cocktails for our anniversary. We also had the Mac & cheese and the crispy chicken sandwich. Both delish. Wednesdays are $5 wine nights.
Jesse BagelsJuly 8, 2015Soul food fusion? A bit strange. Try it if you're into that though. The red velvet waffles were delicious, but the fried chicken they came with was more akin to schnitzel. Pork tacos weren't worth it.
Lady SmileJuly 11, 2016Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! It's a must try if you like BBQ& Rotisserie. The sandwich for take out was the bomb! I was obviously pleased. Been there about 4times and have yet to be disappointed.
Kimberly JamesApril 2, 2015Open just an hour and the staff are on point. Ask them anything about the menu and they can describe it like they've tried it. Great spot, great vibe. Def worth giving it a shot. Swediopian was yum!
The New YorkerJune 2, 2015Marcus Samuelsson's new place is "a lively, endearing but painfully unsubtle homage to Harlem through the decades, from the graffiti on the rafters to the sneakers dangling from the sprinkler system." Read more
Adrian PhillipsAugust 27, 2015They do a good job at roasting a chicken, but the highlight for me was the vegetables that have the chicken oil drip on them. Also the fried catfish sandwich was a mouthful of friend flakey tastiness.
Rachel MercerJuly 9, 2017The chicken and waffles are to. die. for. They're testing new recipes and so far blueberry is bomb! Always pair with a Frose.
Kevin VengNovember 5, 2015The food is amazing and the team working there are so cool! Always sweet and very welcoming! Probably my weekly spot to go for dinner!
Alex FishJune 22, 2015You know going to a Samuelson location you are in for a good time and good food. While this is a chicken joint, New Jack Fried Rice is awesome
Afi Yellow-DukeJuly 6, 2015Funky decor, great service, and awesome food. The chicken and waffles and the ying yang fries are great. Don't forget the cocktails, either!- Robyn GrierMay 16, 2015Rotisserie chicken & notti beans were phenomenal, definitely get the jamerican sauce. Comfortable diner style seating & cool decor, reasonable prices. Awesome.
Sabrina MajeedJuly 4, 2015Get the hot and messy sandwich if you like eggs, avocado, bacon, and peanut butter and wish those things were one.
Micah ChilesJune 1, 2015Great value for the half chicken and veggies. We couldn't get enough of the green sauce.
Their rotisserie chicken is great and I love their chicken sandwiches, but the chicken and waffles is, by far, my favorite.
They have changed their menu several time and each time lost the best items. Now they want to uncharged for $2 swaps of greens that used to the menu. So we bounced and went next door.
UyennieMay 17, 2015really awesome menu. had the the chicken, meatballs, and rice... thumbs up across the board.
Steven Sharpe JrOctober 12, 2016Love the vibe here! Everyone is super friendly and make great recs. I can't wait to come back here
Peter IkladiousJune 12, 2016Great selection of chicken based dishes. Fried chicken check! Noodle dish great! Great for kids
Amy MaMarch 10, 2016Super hip and quaint! Food was solid and server was a really friendly guy. Will definitely be back :)
AlexJune 8, 2015rotisserie chicken is super moist and the papaya salad is so refreshing. the interior design is A+
Tiffany LangstonFebruary 12, 2016I love the vibe and the decor. Food is flavorful, but service can be hit or miss. Great cocktails
abdulnabyJune 1, 2015Half chicken and veggies were a good value. Sticky, maple glaze. A bit on the dry side for my taste, but flavorful. Veggies were crisp.
Danielle SigJuly 14, 2015Everything was pretty awesome, my favorite was the hot & messy. A perfect mix of ingredients
Joshua GisigerNovember 13, 2017Food is delicious. The music is lively and there is a ping pong table
Jase EngSeptember 7, 2015Good atmosphere and delicious food. Service could use an upgrade. Portions smaller than expected.
Matthew SpectorJune 17, 2015C. Chavez boasts fermented tortillas and Marcus's amazing pulled chicken. Can't miss.
Adrian LNovember 16, 2015Chicken and velvet waffles are awesome but could use a better beer selection.
Simone MontanariJuly 12, 2015Their chicken wings with gorgonzola dip are one of the best thing on earth.
Jae WatkinsOctober 16, 2015The atmosphere is so cool. Food portions are small for the neighborhood but tasty
Felix SalmonSeptember 17, 2016Rather shambolic. Couldn't find our reservation -- or any white wine. Both the food and the drinks were too sweet. Seems like a formulaic and none too well-executed "concept" from a celebrity chef

"Iconic Sichuan destination. All apps are fire but the crispy eel is addictive. Dan Dan noodles, mapo tofu, kung pao chicken are favorites. Come with a group and order the entire menu."
