I ordered from here a couple times and all I could say is AMAZING! Very very tasty chicken! Classic Korean and Wildfire Double Crunch were the greatest and most unique flavored fried chicken I’ve ever had. Best part was how fresh and hot everything was! I definitely would love to eat from here again. Unfortunately, I’ve been trying to order from here every time I go to New Brunswick, but their phone line just keeps constantly ringing and no one answers the phone. So I decided to go to the store and see what’s going on. When I went, the store was completely closed and had a note on the door that just said«InBoston is temporarily closed.» It didn’t say why or more importantly, when they’ll open up again. I tried to see if they had any info on their website and I sent them an email(to the email address on their site), but the email address didn’t work. Therefore, I took away one star for lack of communication. I just hope my favorite place in New Brunswick didn’t close for good! Here’s hoping next time I stop by New Brunswick I can enjoy some of this amazing chicken again!

Would give zero if I could. THEFOODISDELICIOUSBUTTHEDELIVERYSERVICEISABSOLUTELYTERRIBLE. I ordered delivery on May 6th(a reward for myself after a long day of Finals). First off, the man who picked up(Alan? Not sure) sounded annoyed and like he didn’t want to be at work, which I dismissed thinking that he was having a bad day. Placed my order and after 1HOUR I called the place to check up on my order. I was told by the same man who took my order that my food just got out and will be out for delivery now. FINE. After an ADDITIONAL30 mins I called again and apparently my food was still there and the Zoom(food delivery service) was no where to be found. The man didn’t seem concerned or apologetic for any of this. After an ADDITIONAL10 mins I called and asked if I could pick up my food. I was told that I couldn’t for some BS reason. After an ADDITIONAL10 mins I called to see if the driver was finally there and Alan(???) said driver was on his way. Mind you he still sounded annoyed, clueless of how to fix the situation and most importantly, UNAPOLOGETIC!!! my food FINALLY gets here on the 2 hour mark. Zoom driver didn’t apologize and neither did I when he left tipless. I called the restaurant once more and demanded to speak to a manager to get a refund $ 36.74 for this craziness(I don’t know why I didn’t sooner(facepalm)). Alan said he’d take my number and have a manager call me tomorrow. WAITEDALLDAYTHENEXTDAYFOR A MANAGERTOCALLME. NOTHING. Like always, I had to initiate fixing their mistake. I called and spoke to someone who referred to himself as «the manager for right now» and he said he would forward my message to the actual manager when s/he is in the next day. AGAIN, WAITEDTHENEXTDAY. NOTHING. So I called AGAIN& spoke to my favorite, Alan(still not sure of his name but he recognized me and said«yes I remember you from a few nights ago») as I was bringing him up to date about me chasing down a manager that I don’t even know exists or not, he cut me off and said that the manager initiated a refund already. I was gullible enough to believe it so I stopped bothering him. Update: it is June 1st almost a month since I’ve placed my order. Still NOMANAGERCALLOR A REFUND. I’ve called the establishment maybe 6 times each week since and my calls don’t even go through anymore so I think I may have been blocked. The only way now for me to get my money is to make the drive up. GOODJOBINBOSTON UPDATE: STILLTRYINGTOCALLBUTNOPICKUP.

This place has amazing wings! Price: There is a lunch special that runs until 3 P.M. that includes 6 wings, a soda, and a side of rice. This should do well to fill most people and the price is around $ 7 – 8, so relatively affordable especially when compared to other eats on Easton. Food: There are two flavors of wings: soy garlic and wildfire. Wildfire is meant to be the spicy option and it definitely has a kick to it but it is not overwhelming or overburdening. Spice enthusiasts may be discouraged but they shouldn’t be. The wings are juicy and the sauce actually tastes good and has a hint of garlic to it. Soy garlic wings are likewise juicy and the sauce tastes very good although a bit less pronounced than Wildfire. Nonetheless with both flavors you get flavor with every bite and not just in centralized areas. The rice leaves much to be desired. The fried rice contains what seems to be grilled or sauteed vegetables. However these vegetables are often charred and overwhelming and can leave a bit of a burnt and salty taste to the rice. The vegetables themselves seem to be natural and big [not from frozen bags or anything] so thats a plus. The white rice is a bit dry and bland. Overall: Great wings. This place is definitely worth eating at for their wings alone as they are juicy and delicious. The rice wasn’t great but I still enjoyed the meal.

This place is probably one of the best unknown/hole in the wall places here at Rutgers. If you love wings, and if you are familiar with Korean double fried wings, then this is a must stop. The soy garlic wings are delicious. You definitely can’t go wrong with them. They have a great glazed wing as well. Crunchy and full of flavor. I will definitely be coming here every time I’m in the area.

A little gem hidden among Easton! This place is everything that any hungry college student and young adult with a ravenous appetite for wings could ask for. To try to describe in words how good their wings are is an injustice, but I’ll try my best. I’ve been an aficionado of flavor fusion for years, but when it comes down to wings nothing is more delicious than southern spices with a snap and a crunch attitude as you take a bite. Inboston goes above and beyond. Combining Asian bbq fusion into a flavor profile that will just blow your mind. I mean, they keep it simple, and that’s how any food place should be. I believe that if a restaurant has a menu bigger than the size of my palm, then they are having a food identity crisis. At inboston, a simplistic menu and a friendly staff help you decide what to get because picking out food shouldn’t take as long as a midterm. The wings itself offer a delicious level of flavor enlightenment that no other wing place in Easton even comes close achieving. It truly offers that hot off the fryer, snap, godly crunch that any southern gentleman and gall has been looking for years right here in the north east. How good is this place? Good enough to take on the some of the best wings South of the Mason Dixon. In all, if I could give them ten stars, I would. It’s just soooo good and truly a diamond in the rough.

I love coming here for korean fried chicken! Besides the chicken wings, the strips are really good too and the chicken fried rice is unique! There’s a bit of a sweetness and kick to it from chili but nothing overpowering! Definitely love all the food options here especially the lunch deal, which is very affordable! Try all the sauces because each one is great!

Great wings! I love the soy garlic flavor! What’s funny is, I actually stumbled upon this place when I got lost trying to look for parking in the area. It’s a bit pricey but so worth it. Can’t wait to eat here again~ Update: I recommend getting the lunch special! Very worth it!

One of the best wing places I tried! The wings can be pricey, however if you order a rice bowl with 10 wings it can definitely fill up two people! I love their classic Korean wings that are mildly glazed! Also, I ordered the chicken teriyaki rice bowl which is definitely filling for 2 people and definitely worth the price! For my taste, I believe the spicy glazed were too spicy for me, however if you like spicy food you should get the spicy glazed. I would want to try out their lunch box special in the future! If you want to try some good quality wings definitely check this place out!

tl;dr: Soy Garlic wings were cool, but the Wildfire Strips were Spicy but delicious. Pretty decent French Fries as well. Today I went to inBoston for the first time. While walking down Condict St I was a little puzzled as to where the place was but once you see it you’ll know it. Asked the employee what he’d suggest since it was my first time there and he said the soy garlic was popular. I decided to order a lunch box with the soy garlic wings and fries. But I wanted to know how other flavors tasted as well so I got the Wildfire Strips as well. Both chicken flavors were good but the wildfire stood out more. Definitely spicy but if you like heat then it’s a good choice. I will definitely go back to inBoston… Korean wings off Easton Ave? What more can you ask for?

I ordered delivery for 4 people. Small order of every wing and tender selection. They were alright. Seemed to be more batter than chicken in the strips and the double fried was very dry. On my order they did not pack any of my side orders except radish. Not very happy with my missing sides. When I called back to speak to someone the person was having a side conversation about my order thinking I was unable to hear. He was mocking the fact that I was upset about my missing sides and made an excuse saying since I ordered online he was unable to confirm my order. Uhm, but on the online order my phone number is a mandatory field I must supply so why was he unable to call me? The employees here seem to not know customer service. I’d advise training before being put to work. Common curtesy works as well.

5 stars for the best Korean wings I’ve had in the states!!! Their wings remind me a lot of the ones I’ve tried in Korea– juicy, meaty, and tasty! My favorite is the mild glazed wings, which has the perfect amount of sweet and spice, and plenty of meat. Another good one is crispy bites– although, it can get a bit greasy. The radish and cole slaw that comes with the order are also very delicious. I can’t speak for service/dining in since I always order to go, but definitely try their chicken! I’m sure you’ll go again and again.

My friends and I ordered 3 different flavors: Wildfire, Soy garlic, and Miild glaze. I really liked and enjoyed all of their flavors: Very«koreanized» Sauce! Wildfire: Literally, one of the spiciest chickenI have ever experienced! It was spicy, yet it was very addicting. Couldn’t stop eating! Soy garlic: As a typical Korean who loves fried chicken, I really liked their flavors. But it was bit greasy. Had it been less greasy, would have much appreciated. Mild glaze was amazing. I thinj they tried to mimic the sauce of one of the korean traditional snack called: tuk-kochi. Was very sweet and enjoyable. Overall, I really appreciated their food. However, I think they should work little bit more on their customer service. I would have given 4 stars if they had been«less aggressive» with the phonecall.

A well hidden place with exploding flavor! It is hard to find — you will need to look closely as it is not on Easton avenue. The double-fried chicken is excellent, and is better than boomboom chicken in my opinion. All fried chicken orders come with pickled radish and cole slaw. I highly recommend the WILDFIRE.

Extremely happy that a place like this has moved into the area. If you’re familiar with or a fan of Bonchon this place is similar. I got the chicken fried rice bowl along with 10 mild wings. My meal and a can of ginger ale totaled a bit over $ 20 which seemed a little pricy, however everything was absolutely delicious. The food here is made to order so I’d either call ahead or be ready to wait. I’ll be back to give them more of my money.

This franchise hails all the way from Boston, and for good reason. These wings are the real fuckin deal. I ordered the modern double fried chicken with soy garlic sauce and I’ve never eaten a wing so crispy, dry, and saucy all at once. The double frying method turns the sauce into this molten glaze. Yeah. I’d come here right now.

I was visiting the NB area, trying to figure out which place to eat to re-live my old college days as a RU student. Luckily, found this small spot tucked away right off of Easton. Inboston is one of those korean fried chicken establishments like Bonchon and Mad for Chicken. Although I ordered just a chicken fried rice to keep me semi-full, I was impressed by the menu and wished I ordered more. This place is one of the reasons why I feel bitter towards current RU students… they didn’t have awesome places like this when I was in school!

This is a new wings spot right off of Easton that opened up not too long ago. The flavors of these wings such as soy garlic and wildfire are banging! The only thing with the wings is that they have too many bones making it slightly difficult to eat. The restaurant is very small. There are only 3 – 4 tables. Most people order to go or delivery. The staff is very friendly and very on top of all orders.

inboston is a hidden gem because it’s literally hidden on condict street and it’s a gem of deliciousness. their store front looks clean and simple as well as their interior. they have limited seating but take-out seems like the popular option for college students. we had the opportunity to try a few things off their menu. so let’s talk about food! their chicken tenders were crispy and flakey with a good balance of breading and chicken ratio. it’s a good idea to have the sauce on the side for dipping. we got the modern double fried wildfire and it was really great! perfectly crispy with a nice kick to the face. it’s pretty spicy but the flavors are solid. my dad had some leftovers many hours later and he still gave the stamp of approval and raved about it! the modern double fried soy garlic is a great alternative if you can’t handle spice. has a nice balance of sweetness and garlic(YUM) to it. the classic korean crispy wings were the ones to tug at my heart strings. enjoyed the crisp and simple flavors of the chicken. with any chicken order, you get coleslaw and pickled radish. they’re a great supplement to the chicken. it cuts the spiciness and the sweetness when needed and it also adds extra flavor profile for the crispy. the coleslaw in particular is worth noting. I haven’t tasted anything like it at other chicken places and was pleasantly surprised by it. my friend also ordered the chicken teriyaki rice bowl which was very tasty. their service was friendly and quick which is ideal for a take-out joint. you’ll find their portions to be quite generous. i’m disappointed that they didn’t have a place like this when I was in college. RUSTUDENTS: consider yourselves lucky to have a joint like this! take advantage of it!

–Small chicken spot hidden in a side street. –3 to 4 friendly guys working in the kitchen. –About 3 tables that can seat 4 and bar stools to sit on while u watch tv. –Great smelling atmosphere while you wait for a tasty korean fried chicken. –Hard to find parking, I suggest call 30 min before picking up and double park the car. Or get it delivered if youre in their delivery radius. –Menu consist of different types of sauces and diff parts of chicken you can order. They also have rice bowls, fries, etc.
