A Lauded LEYE Sushi Chef is Launching a Delivery-Only Fried Chicken Spot

— Eaters who don’t want to go out will soon be able to order fried chicken and Asian-inspired sides from a lauded sushi chef’s new delivery-only restaurant. Naoki Fried Chicken, from chef Naoki Nakashima of Lettuce Entertain You’s essential sushi restaurant Naoki Sushi, will launch in August to deliver chicken with tobanjan dipping sauce, sides including yuzu cole slaw and panko-crusted mac and cheese, maki rolls and drinks, a rep says. Check out the full menu below. Nakashima’s chicken was previously available at the restaurant only on Sundays and Mondays for dine-in and to go. [UPDATE: The launch date has been pushed back from August 6 to sometime in August.]
