Double Chicken Please

Walking into Double Chicken Please after Superbueno (#12 in the world, no big deal) could have been intimidating, but it more than held its own. The hosts were fantastic. Shout-out to the hostess in the Moncler puffer who runs that door like a benevolent air traffic controller. Kind, attentive, efficient, and somehow warm while managing the chaos. We started in the Free Range section where the vibe is lively and the popcorn chicken and cucumbers are the ideal salty, crunchy companions to the playful drinks. The servers were sharp and present without hovering, which is an art. Once we moved into the Coop, the night leveled up. The cocktails are inventive and food-inspired in a way that actually works, not just for the gimmick. Samuel treated us like long-lost family, generous with his time and genuinely engaging, which made the whole experience feel special rather than transactional. Ending on the key lime pie was the exact right call. Creative, high-energy, and genuinely hospitable. Double Chicken Please is absolutely worth the visit and the return trip.

What a cool vibe!! I was not excited for a 9:30 reservation.. and am soo glad we had this experience. Apparently a very difficult place to get into and I can understand why. They put so much effort into creating every single drink and the chicken was delicious as well. We mostly had mocktails, but they were all soo unique and delicious. Nothing i have ever experienced before from the Japanese cold boodle to the burnt toast. There was no bad drink. The spicy cucumbers were soo addictive. I couldn’t stop eating them. The spicy popcorn chicken with honey was perfect. The mochi chicken sandwich was also soo delicious. Definitely recommend giving that one a try! It was a great experience, atmosphere and service.

I finally got to try Double Chicken Please in SoHo, one of the top-tier bars in the world, and it truly lived up to the hype. I went on a weekday and lined up right after they opened. Since the bar is always fully booked online, walking in at opening time was the perfect way to get a seat without a reservation. While waiting, the staff served us hot tea, which was such a nice touch especially in the winter. The vibe inside is cozy, inviting, and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. The cocktail menu is creative and fun, divided into “appetizers,” “entrees,” and “desserts,” just like a food menu. We ordered three rounds so we could try each section. The cocktails are delicate, complex, and thoughtfully crafted. There were a few flavors we personally couldn’t get into, but overall, the experience was definitely worth it. We also ordered some food to pair with the drinks, and it matched perfectly with the cocktails. If you want to experience a bar that ranks among the top ten in the world, I highly recommend giving Double Chicken Please a visit.

arrived at 5pm to a looong line, we waited approximately 30 minutes , left our number and waited another 1hr for a table the hot honey chicken sandwich and popcorn chicken were delicious and served promptly. the cold noodle cocktail was well balanced, but the key lime pie cocktail was a bit too sweet. the atmosphere was nice but it can get a bit loud in there

Really glad I got to finally stop by. I walked in early without a reservation and they sat me at the from bar by default. It was fine, but nothing on the menu was overly interesting. I asked to head to the back bar once I finished my drink, and they were very accommodating. The drinks back there were incredible—I couldn’t pick a favourite I wish I could have tried all of them.
