A relatively unique menu and atmosphere that's definitely a "vibe", as the kids say, make Roosterspin stand out from others you may consider for a trendy meal. I had the double cooked fried chicken (drumstick only option) and...it was perfect. Really some of the best (if non-traditional) fried chicken I've ever had (I'm 41 y/o to give you an idea). I opted for the non-spicy version. The outside was crispy and the meat was flawlessly cooked, juicy without any pink. The sauce was present but far from overwhelming, more like a glaze, with subtle, complex flavor the sophisticated palate will appreciate while remaining accessible to the crowd. Service was good but the place was empty when we went so how it's like during rush I wouldn't know. The place was well staffed though. Prices brought fair to good value for what's offered depending on what you order. If you eschew animals or are plant-only then beware there's a dearth of options for you. There's a few but you'll order salad and scallion cake and you'll like it. Even if they want to be meat-forward it would be nice to warn prospective diners of the limited choices. The only real negative was the lack of a liquor license. Beer/wine were served (the Sangria pitcher was fantastic). I'd take off only 1/2 star for this if I could because it may not be their fault they can run a liquor license. If you like fried chicken, just go.

10/10 a million times over ! First time here, and I'm so happy with the food, the service, and the atmosphere here. The sushi - DELICIOUS, the fried chicken - finger licking good (we got it in soy garlic sauce), and the garlic fried rice - yummy all on its own (no need for extra soy or anything). Our servers name was Alejandro - such a nice young man. Definitely coming back !

Why has NJ been sleeping on Roosterspin? Literally some of the best wings I've ever had in NJ, maybe even East Coast!! I stand my ground. It's off the beaten path but it is so worth it! Everything I ordered were knockout dishes -- kale salad (omg), the scallion pancakes (done perfectly), and the miso ramen was sooooo full of depth and flavor. I can't wait to go back for those wings though! Wings are not pictured because I was too busy devouring them. Phone did not eat first.

Asian dining in urban setting. Food quality was good and so was the service. It was an enjoyable experience.

We went to Westfield the other day to walk around and window shop but then decided to grab a cold drink or cocktail because it was so hot outside and I happened to find this place on Yelp. I loved the whole vibe of this place upon entering and the bartender/server was very soft spoken and friendly. We sat down at a table and ordered a half bottle of chilled Sauvignon Blanc and it tasted splendid and was perfect for cooling off from the high temperatures outside. I wish we would have been hungry on the day we went though because the menu had some great options and their food looks great. We will be back soon to try more drinks and your food, don't worry! Thanks :)

Love the vibes here. Came at an 4pm which is an odd hour to eat so we got the whole place to ourselves. We tried the bulgogi sliders. I thought this was well done but could be more juicy. The flavor was there and pairs well with the red pickled onion. 4/5 The kimchi fries I recommend you pass. Actually pass if you're expecting actual kimchi on the kimchi fries like other places. This was just regular seasoned fries and sauce on the side. But if you're expecting just regular fries this is good. 3/5 Double fried chicken- like any other Korean fried chicken but boy were those drumstick massive. It came pipping hot so it was perfect. I did half and half. Normally I like the original soy more but I think the spicy was a tad better here than their original. 4/5 Lastly had the spicy Tuna roll. Gotta love the sauce on top. Can't go wrong with the one! I recommend. 5/5 I actually wanted to try the ramen taco but as of this review it is out of rotation so they don't have it on the menu.

This will easily become a go-to spot. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcome. The place is a little cozy, but that is a good thing. The waitress we had was amazing I wish I could remember her name to shout her out. Now the food. The dynamite shrimp is f...ING amazing. Crunchy on the outside and melt in your mouth soft in the middle. We ordered the vegetarian rice because my wife doesn't like scallops and calamari, but it was still great enough that I ate it. The wings.... omg, the wings. Although I would have liked a bit more spicy, the wings are perfect. Great sauce, amazing crunch, and tenderness of the meat are beyond great.

Came here COMPLETELY at random. We decided to leave for dinner with absolutely no destination in mind, only an area where we would look. Found somewhere to try, but when we parked we saw this place tucked in the corner. Walked in and loved the decor & the vibe. Medium sized venue, that has that hidden gem feel. Dim mood lighting, smooth music, & friendly staff. They also have Karaoke rooms in the back. I went back there & took a look since they weren't in use. We ordered the Half & Half Wings (1/2 Soy Garlic, 1/2 Spicy Soy Garlic), Snowcorn Roll, & Bulgogi Sliders. Everything was excellent. Glad we didn't waste our random outing. Such a great choice & a new go-to spot. Grades: Wings: A+ Snowcorn Roll: A+ Bulgogi Sliders: A

Super solid Korean food option in the area. It's my go to whenever I am craving dolsot Bibimbap and Korean fried chicken. I've been here four times and have order those dishes each time :). Definitely be forewarned that the spicy fried chicken is very very spicy, definitely not for the faint of heart. Meanwhile, the dolsot Bibimbap is the best you will get in this area, so delicious!! My other go to item here is the sangria, where you can bring a bottle of wine and they will make the sangria for you. Doesn't matter if it's the cheapest bottle you have, they will make it delicious. The space is beautiful, love the glass bottles and well decorated. Service is always friendly and attentive. Highly recommend
