Rokstar Chicken Douglaston

The food was delicious. We purchased the hot soy chicken and chicken tenders. The hot soy is HOT, but sooooo tasty. The wings were big and cooked very well. They have the option of sauce on or sauce on the side.

If a place makes Korean style wings I’m there. First things first of you don’t have to wait 20 minutes or more for them then they’re not good. Rockstar is no exception. Worth every minute. The picture doesn’t do it any justice. Bring a wet napkins and enjoy. Fried perfectly and tasty. Get a side that has some acid to cut the fried goodness. I’ll be back to try the chicken sandwich.

I decided to try this place on a whim and now, I might be a regular. There is not other Korean fried chicken places around here and better yet, it is right inside of a supermarket. The convenience in addition to the taste definitely makes me want to revisit again. The chicken is made fresh per order so it is perfectly crispy and juicy. There are a variety of sides that you can try and they even have chicken sandwiches. I will unquestionably be back to try more of their items because I have yet to be disappointed!

My first impression: it was just another Korean fried chicken place and it was more expensive than other places. So when there was a special going on, I finally gave it a try.

I liked that the portion was generous, that it made it worth the price. Although chicken did not seem to have base flavor underneath and moo was a bit bland, overall taste was decent. But here's what I did not understand. The sauce was not enough. When it says Korean sweet chili sauce, I expect the chicken to be fully covered, but it was only a drizzle. If it was only this amount, they should not be charging extra for the sauce (it seems from the reviews, some customers did get a lot of sauce? Hope there is some kind of consistency).

I'm all for supporting small businesses over franchises, but I believe that there must be something (like taste, price, etc.) that makes them attractive to be competitive. On that note, Rokstar lacks that attractiveness and I probably will not come back unless there is some kind of improvement.

The food was so good. The truffle oil fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the truffle + parmesan combo was really good. The soy garlic whole chicken was also pretty good and came with large pieces. My only critique would be that the soy garlic sauce was a bit too sweet, overall great though.

The cashier was also dressed as Santa (came on Christmas) which was pretty neat
