Just moved here from VA, and all we have there for Korean fried chicken is Bonchon. So with going from a standard like that, I’d say Chicken Factory is about on par, if not better than the flavors of soy garlic or the gochujang spicy chicken like Bonchon. If you haven’t been to Bonchon or Kyochon, going here is definitely great option. Coming back to try more of their actual Korean cuisine

Me and my boyfriend had the garlic soy chicken. Honestly probably the best chicken we’ve ever had. Amazing! So much food too! Definitely worth the price.

Being an «as long as it’s fried» chicken fan, I really wanted to love this place. Stopped here after a long day. Despite the Unilocal warnings, I didn’t order in advance. After a 25 minute wait, my half sweet and spicy and half soy garlic wings were ready. You can only imagine the anticipation as I walked back to my apt. A few bites in of each and I was disappointed. The flavor was average, the chicken besides the skin was bland and some parts were soggy and didnt have the crunch Korean fried chicken is famous for. Sadly, it wasn’t worth the wait or the cost. I’ll stick to BonChon on Newark Ave in JC or even Cluck U Chicken right on Washington for my fried chicken fix.

We just finished moving and were starving so we decided to try it out. The photos looked so delicious… but the food was subpar, overpriced and took forever to come out. –The bibimbap(rice mixed with vegetables) came in a plastic bowl half empty. I dumped a crazy amount of red sauce after my first bite because it was just so bland. I would not recommend ordering it! You’re better off with just rice. –The fried chicken looked pretty good, but it was just alright. Again not much soy garlic flavor. We were all starving, yet the three of us couldn’t even finish an order of chicken and rice. I would much rather take the 20 mins path ride to ktown than eat here again.

The worse costumer service !!! The girl who takes the orders over the phone(iyeska) is very disrespectful rude and nasty to costumer.!! My self and a friend ordered lunch from here a few weeks ago, the order was completely messed up, when we called to let them know there was an error she filed out and cursed us out saying«we placed the wrong order«Like really? I think I know what I want to eat!!» I then has ask to speak to a manager! She replied she was the«Manager» WOW!!! I was very unhappy and refused to pay for food I didn’t ask for along with poor service !! Also the chicken was extremely cold yuck!!! I sent the food back and took my business else were, my friend and I enjoyed chicken at BonChon !!! Much better!

Not bad. Fast and friendly service. But I have bu far had better korean fried wings. These weren’t terrible, a little dry and salty, enjoyable enough, but I would go elsewhere. As of yet, nowhere tops Café Soho in Philadelphia as far as wings go!

Delicious chicken wings. Korean fried chicken is one of the best tasting treats you can have, it’s truly an experience that is unlike any other. I’ve gone here several times,)usually after some drinking is involved). I have friends who live in Hoboken and we always bring back an order of two of the spicy garlic wings. These things are amazing, super crispy and spicy and leave you wanting more. Definitely the most addicting chicken wings I’ve ever had. As for the prices… Not too friendly. They have two choices, small for about 13.99 or a large for 20 and change. A small is more than enough for one person who isn’t extremely hungry, but it definitely isn’t cheap. Best bet is to get a large and split it with drinking buddies. Also, calling ahead is a smart idea because these wings aren’t cooked until you order them, so you could wait 20 minutes or more for their food. They are open decently late and the people are pretty friendly. If you want amazing wings that will definitely leave you wanting more, look no further.

The worst service ever. You ask to speak to a manager and they tell you she’s not in at the moment. But it’s strange someone has to be in charge. Do not leave menus in a building 2.6 miles away from you guys if your not going to deliver. Just because the food is great the service can be horrible. Stop hiring unprofessional people to answer the phone. They should know what everything is on the menu. I’m sorry but for service you guys suck !

To start off this is a awesome Korean chicken but Only four choices for you to order of how you get your chicken… boneless, sweet and spicy, soy garlic, or both in one order.(Wings and/or drumsticks)…you also have side orders of fries or rice…*rubs hands togeather* lets get to what I got? I got to taste both soy garlic and sweet & spicy… my preference As a fat kid is the soy garlic but that’s just me! Lol… of course the pricing is Hoboken eatery prices… but you get the bang for your buck at this joint, trust me from a chicken head like me Ctfu… A Must try that is something different from the usual crowns, kfc, Popeyes chicken you’re used too!

Good for korean cravings during lunch hours. They make a good bibimbap and fairly ok wings. Lunch menu is pretty reasonable. Excellent service, I was 50 odd cents short on cash and they didn’t take credit card below $ 15, but the staff was nice enough to waive it.

We love the chicken. Half and half but this one time. Burnt rice. No chicken factory. Just NO! And how the heck do you even burn rice on a rice cooker? Congrats on doing that but next time just scoop around the burnt parts.

When Chicken Factory first opened, it was a definite 5 star, but over the last few years its really gone down hill. I honestly feel its more of a 2.5 star but Ill give it 3 because its the only option in Hoboken and Unilocal wont let me, When it first opened, delivery would take about 1.5 hrs and was great, but I feel they probably got a bunch of complaints and decided to sacrifice quality for speed. I also feel the quality of the chicken itself was much better when it opened. I still occasionally thrown them an order when I want a fried chicken fix, but it nowhere near some of the great KFC places in the city. Sadly back in the day I would put it up with the best.

Best wings in Hoboken. This is korean fried chicken in all its glory. I always go for the Large order 50% spicy, 50% soy garlic. Compared to other Korean Fried Chicken places, I feel like the spicy version here is more bearable. My only complaint is that it doesn’t come with free korean radish — which all the bonchons i’ve been to usually include. But honestly, you cannot go wrong with these wings.

Pretty awesome Korean Fried Chicken. This place was a gas saver when it opened up during my time at Stevens. My friends and I no longer had to make a drive to Fort Lee for BonChon to get our KFC fix. The food is made to order, as is the case for most KFC places, so you’ll have to wait a bit unless you call in advance. They serve other Korean food too, but I haven’t had any of it. The service is pretty good and the lunch specials are a good deal. The place is clean and has outdoor seating. And they deliver if you’re lazy. Overall, it’s a good, unique addition to Hoboken.

My first visit and I liked it. Chicken Factory has Korea Town style takeout/delivery chicken. I chose the boneless chicken with half hot sauce and half soy/garlic. Both were very tasty and please note the spicy is not for wimps. The service is polite and efficient; expect to wait a while for your order but in my opinion, that means it’s likely being made to order and that’s a good thing. $ 11.99 for a small order is not necessarily cheap, but there was plenty of food, and you can save half your order for the next day. There is some seating, yet it looks like the majority of their business is out the door. I’m sure the wings are equally popular and I will try them on a future visit. I’m not a regular for fast food chicken, but Chicken Factory will certainly satisfy the occasional craving and I’d recommend giving them a try.
