Love there grilled chicken salads. The fried chicken and the many side dishes they offer are good as well. This place is always clean, fully staffed, and has quick service.
It's the BEST fried chicken I've had in all of New York. It's always hot, juicy, and delicious. The perfect amount of seasoning, and never greasy. The biscuits are sooo good! Also the rice and beans, mmm. They use basmati rice, so. You know it has to be delicious. I've never atr anything that I didn't like here 🙂
3.5, rounded down because there is not one thing on point about any of the sides I've tried. And their version of a Philly Cheesesteak is whack.
However, hands down the single best fried chicken I've ever had in Astoria….and top five I've had in NYC.
Stoopid cheap, though every piece always thoroughly cooked (though never dry), always moist, and with perfectly crispy skin. And that flavor!!! It's something about those Moroccan spices they add into the batter that makes me think they may also mix in some meth. Seriously. Cannot stop at two pieces.
AND it's equally good the next day, be it cold or reheated. And the skin even tastes good cold (yup…gross…don't care….eatin' it!).
Plus, they deliver, y'all! Give 'em a whirl!
Sketch it up and try not to get stabbed. The chicken nuggets are actually really good. Breaded well and crunchy compared to the wafer thin crusts on McDonald's nuggets.
It's funny, when I get a craving for fried chicken, it's not KFC. Popeyes I can admit to, but places like Palace Fried Chicken are great because they fry their crust so differently. It's thinner with less of a flaky shell and just as crisp. I think they pressure fry their chicken.
Anyway, it's late but not that late, 10:45 I am here and ordered a late night snack and the guy was awesome, easy to order, no this and that, I didn't have the coins for the measly 17 cents and he let me go. That's great, I would have given him a dollar and he break the change but I love when people are not fussy about a few cents like this guy did, just awesome service.
Great that they are open this time of night to cater to some desire for fried chicken, though I guess it is close to closing time.
Thanks for some very flavorful, I can taste the herbs and spices, crispy chicken.
Been coming here for years and I think it's better in the morning when it is more fresh. But then again maybe it's not the morning when it's fresh batch.
Sides are average, plain and all but the chicken is good. They have other stuff on the menu but I don't go for that, just your tasty chicken please.
Too bad there are no rest room and the seating is basic run of the mill but that's okay by me.
PFC – they do chicken WELL!
I was on this NEED for fried chicken, and after finding out that the KFC listed on yelp in the area/the KFC I remember from childhood has been closed for a long time now and has changed into a bank, I turned to Palace Fried Chicken. The chicken itself would give the place five stars – the skin is thoroughly crispy without being overly breaded, and has an ethnic spice to it that makes it more interesting than your run of the mill KFC. However, the sides are TINY, and taste BAD.
Come here, get the chicken and as Daniel Tosh said in his show, go to the grocery store to pick up some sides, makes it a little classy.
think of KFC on crack.
my sister was adamant on eating fried chicken and we were actually looking for KFC in the 'hood. However, the nearby KFC was CLOSED DOWN (now amalgamated bank) so we settled for PFC. oh, oh oh, thank the LORD he directed us to PFC
1) eat the chicken and nothing else.
a) the sides we ate :mac n cheese and mashed potatoes were a tad bland and sometimes a bit nasty
2) the chicken is badass.
a) a PFC chicken leg will kick the crap out of a KFC chicken leg. think double the size.
b) the seasonings… oo oo good! a bit spicy and def. not breaded by some uninspiring white-bread concoction
3) not bad prices!
a) got overly and grossly full from sides, 1 chicken leg and 1 thigh.
b) 18 bucks and change for mac n cheese, 2 mashed potatoes (micro sized portion tho, but because they were nasty tasting, it didnt matter) and 12 pieces of glorious chicken.
4) decor: ugly
a) may be obvious, but 'll type it out anyway. not the hottest date spot in town
well now, why does it deserve 4 stars despite all of these negative qualities?
go ahead and eat some of their chicken if youre in the neighborhood. you'll agree with me soon
go with G*d and he will show you the way to amazing PFC chicken.
