Kyedong Chicken At Cafe Hanover Is BonChon On Steroids

kyedong signs

This site has previously had reviews of fried chicken noodle soup and other items from the Korean portion of Cafe Hanover at Hanover Sq. & Pearl, but for some inexplicable reason we’ve shunned the Kyedong chicken. This brand of Korean fried chicken is advertised in a poster in the window and in panels on the wall behind the front counter where you pay. Sandwiched between offerings of pork belly for $40 and whole chickens, there are portions of chicken at Midtown Lunch-friendly prices. Click through to check out the behemoth lunch box it comes in, housing equally oversized pieces of chicken.

Oliva Gourmet Gets Into the 99 Cent Slice Game

Oliva Gourmet on Broadway (btw. Vesey & Barclays) seems to court the tourists with promises of plentiful seating and alcohol, since it’s right by the stop for those double decker site seeing buses. Now they’re courting the rest of us with a 99 cent plain slice. The signs don’t say there are restrictions on when the slices are offered, and it has to be better than the 99 cent slice at Papa John’s at Maiden Lane & Nassau. Now if only the other $1 pizza shops would trickle further down Broadway. Joey’s Pepperoni Pizza, I’m looking at you.

Banh Mi Saigon Gives Fast Food A Good Name

The stars aligned one day when I had to head up to Little Italy/Chinatown, and just so happened to be right across the street from Banh Mi Saigon Bakery on Grand St. (btw. Mott & Mulberry). It turns out this site has never done a proper review of the place, although it did fare well in a Banh Mi Battle Royale that Daniel conducted. I am never one to turn down a cheap sandwich, especially if it’s from a combination jewelry store/banh mi seller. This works way better than combination Pizza Hut/Taco Bell. Read more »
