UWS Korean Eatery Named Among The Hottest New Restaurants Of 2021

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — New York City has seen a surge in restaurant openings in recent months as the city continues to reopen from the coronavirus pandemic, and a recent list from Eater NY just named an Upper West Side newcomer as one of the best restaurants to open in 2021.

The Korean eatery Chick Chick, located at 618 Amsterdam Avenue at 90th Street, was named by Eater editors as one of the "15 hottest new restaurants in Manhattan" to open in 2021.

Chick Chick, best known for its fried chicken and ramen, had its soft opening on the Upper West Side at the end of March. It took over the space previously home to Coffeeberry, which closed at the end of 2018.

Here's what the Eater editors have to say about the UWS newcomer:

"Chick Chick’s chicken-centric menu runs the gamut from crispy Korean fried chicken to chef-owner Jun Park’s more subtle take on Nashville-style hot chicken. Altogether, the restaurant is a can’t-miss new addition to the Upper West Side."

Chick Chick serves up brunch options on the weekend, lunch options Monday through Friday, and a dinner menu seven days a week.

"Chick Chick is about bringing good food and good company together. Owner Chef Jun Park’s two most favorite food is fried chicken and ramen," reads an "Our Story" section on the restaurant's website. "He is excited to share his favorites with NYC’s Upper West Side neighbors."

Outside of fried chicken and ramen, the eatery also offers fried rice, sandwiches, salads, and wings.
