Pecking House

8.2/10Chinese

AI-generated summary

Get the . Ultra crispy chicken on squishy milk bread with pickles, and people call it a top in the city. The by the piece is also very good, but that is where the complaints land, mostly the price and a newer format that big sections instead of pieces. Cornbread and dirty rice are the sides people name.

  • replying to u/dreamboylnshibuya: Pecking House was on my list actually, I hear to get either the chilli or extra hot. I might go with the latter.

    I’ve been to PH many times and I can’t recommend the chili enough.

    they served me undercooked chicken which was one thing but the worst part was the attitude of the staff there. They were super blase about it with no apologies or even really acknowledging it.

  • Really like this place but the Chinatown one I’m probably not going back to since everything was bad… from the soggy bland fries to the bland chicken. Their Brooklyn location was always great though

  • I absolutely hate hate hate the new chicken format at Pecking House. Who fries an entire big section of chicken all together, rather than cut into pieces? They wanted to do something novel and IMO it's so unsuccessful.

  • replying to u/whatsmyalterego: Stunning! Would love to hear your thoughts on Pecking House - it looks super good. Happy to hear all your recs, thank you!

    Pecking House was absolutely amazing, definitely some of the best fried chicken I’ve had. Their chili fried chicken was really flavourful and fragrant, not overly spicy. Perfectly juicy chicken too (we all had dark meat).

  • It's a perfect sandwich. Texture/flavor of the chicken is perfect. The cooling balance of the kewpie/pickles. The texture of the milk bread.

  • replying to u/hardwaregeek: Pecking House. Nothing like destination worthy fried chicken and fantastic sides

    the chili chicken was absolutely dominated by chili flavor, like to the point you might have just as well been eating sauce by the spoonful, the potato salad was serviceable, and the salted egg chicken was... I guess just not for me
