Allie I.Allie Ilagan: From chef Michael Solomonov, FedNuts has the masses clamoring for its blend of specialty cake donuts, strong coffee and Korean fried chicken. Be sure to arrive before noon; birds sell out in minutes.

Philadelphia MagazinePhiladelphia Magazine: Despite all the wild flourishes of color and flavor, the plain honey doughnut that comes alongside every order of chicken is still the best breakfast weapon in the FedNuts arsenal.

IanIan: They open at 7a...Chicken at 11...wings at noon. The chicken is worth the wait. Try the chili-garlic sauce The hot donuts are the best!
