Chi Ken, the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Store, no longer coming to St. Mark's Place


[Photo from May 2017]

Chi Ken, the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Store, had been set for 58 St. Mark's Place. The signage first arrived in February 2017.

Apparently that's no longer in the works — a for rent sign is now up on the storefront here between First Avenue and Second Avenue...



Next door, Clay Pot, serving traditional Hong Kong style open-flame cooked clay pot rice, opened in February...

Chi Ken signage arrives on St. Mark's Place



The sign is up for Chi Ken, the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Store, at 58 St. Mark's Place...

As we noted back in February, Chi Ken sells a variety of quick-serve items, including milk tea, popcorn chicken and Crazy Jumbo Squid "that's bigger than your face."

A Chi Ken location opened in Sunset Park last summer. You can find the Chi Ken website here.

The adjacent space at the address here between First Avenue and Second Avenue will be home to Clay Pot, serving "traditional Hong Kong style open-flame cooked clay pot rice."

Chi Ken, the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Store, coming to St. Mark's Place



Two weeks ago, we noted that Clay Pot, serving "traditional Hong Kong style open-flame cooked clay pot rice," is coming to 58 St. Mark's Place between First Avenue and Second Avenue.

On Monday, signage arrived for a new restaurant arriving in the open space on the west side of the building — Chi Ken, the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken Store...

And here's a feature on the shop from last summer...



Hakata Hot Pot and Sushi Lounge closed here at the end of February 2016. (Hakata Hot Pot combined with sister restaurant Zen 6 the next block to the west at 31 St. Mark's Place.)

Natori closed at this address in November 2012.
