Debasaki Japanese Style Chicken, Flushing, NY – Part 2
My apologies for the delayed post! I will continue from part 1 and show you some of the dishes that I have tried at Debasaki.
First thing you must keep in mind when you’re seated is there is a red button, shown below, that you must press in order to call the waitress. If you don’t do that, you’ll end up sitting forever until you wonder why no one is showing up. I think that is unique because sometimes I don’t want to be rushed and want to call the waitress when I’m ready. Already this is a good sign of a good restaurant experience!
Debasaki Call Button
When you’re seated, the waitress will immediately bring you their complimentary Coleslaw which has honey mustard and mayo for the dressing.

Kimchi Fried Rice w/egg
This kimchi fried rice has spam in it! Yes spam and I was definitely excited! I know it might sound disgusting, but it actually went very well with this spicy dish! Sometimes you need that soft texture to balance out the hard texture of the fried rice. The egg made the dish even better, so I would highly recommend to try this!

Debasaki Fried Chicken and Gyoza
Japanese style fried chicken topped with sesame and sweet sauce. Now the question is, which is the gyoza? The gyoza is actually the ones on the right side with the drumette! I have never had gyoza in a form of fried chicken and thought that was odd. I love fry anything so I was not ready to dismiss this!
Sample of Debasaki Gyoza
Wait! What is this? There seem to be bok choy in my boneless fried chicken-gyoza, but it sure as heck does not taste like it. It tastes sort of minty, but it just looks so much like bok choy. Does anyone know what this is? Maybe the flavor of the bok choy is distorted when this was fried? Anyways, the outside of the gyoza tastes sweet, as I am sure it was glazed in honey, and the sesame made the skin very enjoyable to eat. The combination of these flavors as well makes a good first impression of a fried chicken, but I was not feeling this minty bok choy, but otherwise it tastes good! I took it out and finished the rest of it because it tastes so good!
Inside of Debasaki Gyoza
This is the vegetable gyoza and I really like this! The skin is fried perfectly and the combination of the skin, chicken, and vegetable is amazing.
Complimentary Pickled Radish and Jalepenos
Debasaki Gyoza w/corn stuffing
The corn is sweet without drying up! This honestly not my favorite stuffing because of the sweetness, but it is still worthwhile to try!
There is also one with shrimp which I love! Who stuffs fried chicken with shrimp? That’s just genius and I love it!
As for the fried chicken itself, it tastes exactly like the gyoza with the exception of the stuffing.
Debasaki's Pictures of Food
Overall this is a great meal! My only gripe about the restaurant is the location. It is outside of Flushing and it is located nearby a zillion clubs/bars in here. It looks like a very shady area at night, so I would recommend you to come here with a group of friends.
Now I’ll leave you with the city’s health inspection report!

wow looks amazing!! I never had that before or even heard of that. I know in chinese dishes, we stuff bitter melon and chilly pepper, but hey why not chicken?! that’s genius!
did you neuter ur kitties yet?
Thanks for the post, I’ll have to check this place out. I can’t be sure until I try it but from the looks of it the “bok choy” is actually sesame leaves.
Hi, I’m doing a write-up on their gyoza wings for our next issue and I have the answer to your question about the dark vegetable filling- sesame leaves.
