Popped into Citifield this weekend and got to check out David Chang's new concession Fuku. The menu is very light. Only options are: Fuku Fingers, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Fries, and Cookies.
I will say with all certainty, these are the best fries and fingers you will eat in Citifield. The chicken (both fingers and sandwich) are pretty spicy, so if you don't like spice you will not enjoy. The fries are nice and well done and much better then the other versions you can get through out the park.
Expect a long line that moves somewhat fast. I think we waited 15 minutes and that line stretched to the bridge.
Sitting in section 102; lucked into having Fuku right upstairs to go to at any point. Big fan of the Momofuku spots in the city, so this was a no-brainer, especially with no line.
Ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich ($11) and one of each cookie they had ($3.75 each). The sandwich is smoking hot (temperature) and has just enough kick to lend some credence to its name. Didn't even need to add the sauce that it came with – that juicy. As for the cookies – a little on the hard side, but the corn flake marshmallow had an interesting flavor profile. Compost cookie was the best, an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink type that works well together.
A little bummed they didn't have the crack pie or other dessert options on the menu. Food is good though and even worth the ballpark markup.
Ballpark food has gotten much better over the years and this is a prime example. For a pricey $18.50, I had a spicy chicken sandwich and some fries. The fries were very good. The chicken was tasty but it could have been spicier. Also, it was a little over done. It was not juicy at all, but rather a little bit tough. However, the flavor was still good and it was much better than a hot dog.
Be prepared to spend a couple of Hamiltons if you want to eat here, but it should be worth it, for the most part.
Going to Citi Field, we had a lot of choices with regard to food when the Marlins took on the Mets on July 4th. On the way, we were debating between Blue Smoke and Fuku… but in the end we in the mood for some good chicken sandwiches!
(!) WHERE: Section 102, behind right field near the Shea Bridge
(!) WHAT WE ATE: We each got a chicken sandwich, large coke, and shared fries for a grand total of $45. Stadium prices, man…
(!) HOW IT DID: Chicken sandwich was good and the ssam sauce gave it a different kick compared to other chicken sandwiches. Know that this isn't super fresh–as our friendly cashier got our food she scooped up the wrapped chicken sandwiches from a pile. Fries weren't soggy but they were a nice mix of soft and crispy; they were just right! The chicken sandwich, I'm guessing, is dark meat. There were times when I worried it was undercooked but hey, two days later, I'm fine. And I may have mistaken chicken for pickle in that case. All in all, for what we paid, (I think $12 a sandwich), I don't think it was otherworldly or say, better than Shake Shack's or Chick-Fil-A's offering… but again… this is, at the end of the day, stadium food prepared under different demands.
(!) TIDBITS: Stack up on ketchup cause we ran out and were too lazy to go down and refill; Fries + ketchup + ssam sauce is a winner.
I'm aware that they have another venue in the city but this location happened to be in the stadium and I couldn't pass up the opportunity. Boy was I fooled. I should've known better then to try such a famous sandwich at a ball park. The spicy chicken sandwich is $12 (sandwich ONLY) and they made them in batches and after would package them in foil bags which caused the bread and chicken to be completely soggy. You can see in my image that I posted that the bread itself was pruney, wrinkly and soggy AF. The flavor is there but the delivery was poor. For a $12 sandwich I believe that they should be made fresh and to order instead of in bulk, especially if you only 3-4 items on your entire menu! Give me my money back!
Been dying to try this place but the thought of standing outside on a long line with a bunch of know it all hipsters was not something I was willing to do so when I heard Chang was opening one at the home of my beloved Mets I was excited. On a cold and rainy April Tuesday night in Flushing there was no line at all at what I have read has become a quite popular stand (Why do people line up so long for Shake Shack? There are plenty of Shacks around. Try something else people!) there was no line.In less than 2 minutes I had my sandwich and side of fries. Overpriced? Of course! Its Citifield, getting ripped off is part of the experience, however it was a very enjoyable sandwich. The chicken was quite spicy and flavorful with the house made pickle slices.It was served with a cup of Ssam sauce. The chicken peeking out of the bun. The bun itself was my one issue. I am not a fan of those lifeless potato buns that Shake Shack has made popular. Felt a better bun would've made the sandwich perfect. The fries were outstanding, crunchy outside, soft inside and dusted with this addicting spice mixture. Another great option at the ol ballpark. Oh and the Mets won. Perfect night.
