Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits

The atmosphere here is pretty depressing. The lighting of the restaurant is not very bright. Sometimes there would be leftover food on the tables and floor. It’s gross. The service is pretty quick. The food is alright. If you need a quick grab-​and-​go, this is great for that.

for a popeyes in chinatown, this place is not bad. the staff makes the ordering process fast and smooth. as long as you’re ordering chicken, you get your food immediately. there is usually a staffer walking around cleaning, wiping tables. chicken is consistent and good, taste the same as other popeyes. there is a refill soda machine for those who drink a lot. there are also TVs showing NY1 with sound. the bathrooms are not the cleanest and need to be buzzed in but are passable. I like popeyes chicken and think this store is better than the canal st location. on the negative side, there are some sketchy clientele will go to this popeyes.

As far as Popeyes goes this one was one of the best if not the best I’ve seen in the country. And I’m from Popeye country (New Orleans)
Food was fast and super hot !
Service was fast and friendly with a smile
Very clean with someone constantly cleaning the dining area.
Pricing is on point and not hiked up compared to others in visited
Keep up the good work !

Customer service is okay considering it’s a fast food joint. Sometimes the customer service drops when its busy. They make you pay 25 cents for extra sauce which is a little weird or no sauce at all if your meal isn’t a combo. Food is good most of the time.

The food here is always just at average. It’s never really hot. Typically lukewarm. Sometimes you go to a Popeyes and your food is pretty good; it just never is here. On top of that, this is SoHo/​Chinatown/​TriBeCa and they keep raising the prices roughly every two months or so. It’s kind of just not really worth it unless you just love Popeyes or you’re one of the locals that they give free food to often… I’m not one of them so I am admittedly salty about it.

*Chicken Tenders have the perfect crisped skin and very tender meat.
*Choose from 6 different sauces! I got Buttermilk Ranch.
*Cajun Fries tastes a bit bland.
*Biscuits are fresh, buttery, and delicious.
*food came out super fast. The cashier takes my order, while another dude puts the meal on a tray, so it is ready the second I got my change back.
*lots of seating!

TL;DR Standard Popeyes.
I’m just going to tell you that I’m probably going to give every popeyes 5 stars if I go there, unless they defecate on my food and scream at me. When someone talks to me about fried chicken my first thoughts are Popeyes and korean friend chicken.
I have no idea why this place has such low ratings on Unilocal,but I guess people don’t want to admit that they enjoy corporate fast food joints over 3 star michelin restaurant food unless they are called Shake Shak.
You can’t beat the crunchy skin that cracks when your teeth penetrates the fried breading. The sound itself gives the food 1 star. As the teeth sink deeper and perforates the skin, the juice caught between the fried skin and the chicken meat cascades towards your tongue. The second it hits your taste buds, your tongue will feel like it went through an entire semester of soul food 101. The chicken meat itself is just the right amount of salty. It’s also some of the most tender chicken. It’s like each chicken went to a massage parlor and had a happy ending. Popeyes is the only place I ever enjoyed eating chicken breast.
I have not tasted a better traditional fried chicken in my life, and especially not for it’s price. Not at sweet chicks, not at kfc, not at home, point to me where you think the fried chicken is better… I dare you. Korean fried chicken need not apply, because that’s just a different category.
Testimonial:
«I’ve had momofuku fried chicken and I still rather eat popeyes»
«[popeyes] more expensive [than kfc] cause you gotta pay for that quality»
I’m bout to go on a one man mission to eat and rate each popeyes in NYC. I bet I would give them all 5 stars.

you want fried chicken? come here.

This Popeyes Chicken is on the money their service is great food is hot and have some hot Asian chicks working here

Typical fast food joint, but somewhat crowded, probably because it’s located in Chinatown. I came in to find the line almost out the door, but was surprised by how fast it moved and how fast the staff worked. They were pretty nice, too. However, the biscuits I ordered were really salty.

It’s just ok. It’s fast food, friend chicken, mash potatoes, etc. It’s a little messy, the service was fast. The location is convenient. The food was just ok

Popeyes is so disgusting. I just wanted to curb my crave for chicken. I honestly like KFC better. I know what I’m getting up front and if you can find a KFC selling spicy chicken you hit the jackpot. The spices are packed within the meat, not the skin plus it’s actually spicy. My spicy chicken from Popeyes tasted like regular chicken. An old person with a low tolerance for spicy foods could handle what I ordered. Another thing I don’t like about Popeyes is the fact that their rice and beans were once rice, hog maw and beans. Back when they actually HAD the actual ingredients online. That’s a very important ingredient that should be SPECIFIED. I guess hog maw and beans don’t sound as appealing as rice and beans yeah? Well now it’s just ham hocks. I have friends who are vegetarians smh. Anyway two starts for the biscuits and honey and how quickly the line moved.

I love Popeyes. This one had fair service and stale fries. Popcorn shrimp weren’t entirely fresh either.

At first it was alright, but now its like they put two pounds of salt, they are really not thinking about the people who have high blood pressure, we like to eat, but don’t want to have a stroke after or during our meal. Salty, Salty and Salty.

I don’t frequent fast food establishments regularly but sometimes the urge for fried chicken trumps all. Popeyes is near the office and on the way to the train station. I stopped in at 5pm on a friday to see the establishment was nearly empty but had a good supply of chicken on hand.
I am not a fan of the sides so i just ordered a box of chicken and a side of biscuits. Its quick, cheap and tasty. I am a sucker for the crispy skin.
I think we all have a weakness for fried chicken. And Popeyes is the only fried chicken chain i will go to.
This place is pretty busy at lunch time.

Chicken is definitely hit or miss at this location. Sometimes it’s great just like elsewhere, but sometimes their chicken is unbelievably greasy and overcooked which tastes nasty.
Even though no Popeyes location has green beans on their menu, they all do have it, and it is my favourite side anywhere! Get it with gravy and you won’t be disappointed!

Popeye’s in Chinatown?! What else is next… Dallas BBQ?
I was really surprised to see that this opened in Chinatown. I have nothing against Popeye’s, but Chinatown has A LOT of food to offer. The last place I would go to is Popeye’s.
Why did I come in here?
Honestly I was thirsty and had to take a piss.
Thank you Popeye’s for your Hawaiian Punch and Flushing Toilets!

The first time I came here, I was nastily told that they ran out of crawfish after a new batch just came out by their general manager — Jacqueline. So I asked when will a new batch of it come out (I was actually speaking to the cashier that was talking to me while the general manager stood next to him) and she bitched in our faces «NO NO WE HAVE NO MORE WE RAN OUT I JUST TOLD YOU THAT». Well excuse me. When popeyes says they «run out» of something you assume it’s because they have just sold the last of what they just made, not that they had no more in the back.
I feel sorry for the guy she screamed at, what a total bitch. Chill the fuck out. I live nearby so this store would be a convenience for me. Because of this incident I rather take my business elsewhere, to the one by the Manhattan bridge or even the other one closer to the Lincoln tunnel. It’s inappropriate to be screaming like that, and if she has shit with her fellow employees and coworkers, she should be taking care of that in private — not in front of me.
