Kwik Cup

Kwik Cup is a Korean spot at Essex Market, and their piece de resistance is the fried chicken. Both their garlic soy and spicy options are excellent, and even though the chicken isn’t super crispy, you get a huge portion for $15 that’ll be your new favorite weeknight dinner or weekend lunch if you live in the area. You can also get saucy, gochujang-covered tteokbokki and bibimbap from this counter-service spot, but definitely focus on the chicken.
