    half-and-half, soy garlic and spicy soy garlic
    May W.

    The place is airy and casual. Happy hours during weekdays. 10 giant TVs hanging through the ceiling. Good for large parties. I ordered a medium combo, which comes with five drums, ten wings, and a side of large radish. I chose half-and-half, soy garlic, and spicy soy garlic.

    Avocado chicken sandwich

    Here it is, 10/06/25. I am mad for chicken in Bayside. Why? If you have ever eaten at this restaurant, you will understand why. I walked in and there is a landscape of picnic tables and booths. one section of high top near the full bar and the lighting is dim. we were escorted to a booth. Scanning the dining area, they have several monitors or televisions displaying sports. I did not go to the bar but judging from a distance it appears to be a full bar. My plus one and I ordered 20 wings split evenly with flats and drums. The concept of double fried chicken made me think it may be too hard, but it works. The wings were absolutely D'licious. We ask for the GOLD sauce which was sweet. OMG! I am making a declaration and that is. if you want buffalo style wings, Mad for Chicken is the only place to go. We also ordered sweet potato fries and that dish came with ketchup and spicy honey sauce. I also ordered the avocado chicken sandwich. It came without any sauce. It was bland so I dipped the sandwich into the honey sauce, and it paired perfectly. If they start to serve the honey sauce with the avocado chicken, I will look for royalties. The things that I was unpleased with are: 1. The seat was very worn. My mother called me nice nasty because I find sitting on unclean or torn seats very uncomfortable. So, I sat on the very end. 2. I think that blowing your nose in public is very distasteful and inconsiderate. Needless to say, I took the remainder of my food home. Totally turned off behind that. 4. I think the waitress abandoned us, we were waiting for a very long time for the check to arrive and the take-out boxes. Someone else brought the check to us along with the requested take-out boxes. Besides the needed improvements and the distasteful customer, I enjoyed the dining area, the vibes that were echoing R&B flavors the interesting decor, the popcorn served at the beginning, and the casual ambiance. I will come a third time and more.

    Never been to this location, and I'm not sure why. Maybe because it's on Bell and there are sooooooo many options here. But here we are, late at night, closing out the bar and kitchen and I'm glad we did. It was quiet on a Tuesday night, and most of the place was ma vacant. We grabbed a booth in the back. Even though we were those last call customers, the staff were patient and apologetic when they told us they ran out of bulgogi. Understandable, again, as it was the end of the day. We ordered a few things to split including a chicken bowl, chicken tenders and sweet potato fries. The soy garlic was spot on and the sweet and spicy sauce had a great balance here. Shout out to them for having Shirley temples on the menu and for packing one to go for me. Maybe it's time to frequent this location more!

    I came here the other night with two friends and were promptly brought to a nice big booth. I've ordered from multiple Mad for Chicken locations in the past, including this one, however this was my first time eating inside the restaurant. I have to say, I really am a fan of the ambiance, the space and especially the service. Our waiter was enthusiastic, attentive and quite chill. I love that they give you a pitcher of water as I def tend to get thirsty when eating wings and other salty/spicy foods. I also loved the complimentary bowl of popcorn too (which they kindly refilled for us). We shared the chicken bowl with white rice, an order of chicken tenders and an order of sweet potato fries. At first I thought we might need more food for the table, but once everything came out, I was quite pleased with the portion size. Everything hit the spot. Great flavors, tasty dipping sauces, and a nice crunch to the chicken. I can so see myself coming here to watch the next big game on tv or perhaps even a UFC fight. 5/5 place in my book!

    I went there because my friend said there are vegetarian options. I tried the vegetarian chicken bowl with quinoa and the taste was phenomenal! I would go back again for that bowl! Good service. Relaxed vibe.

    Stopped in for lunch with two friends. First of all, parking lot in back is great! Second, friendly servers. Free seasoned popcorn - garlic powder, curry and salt. We all ordered special combos. I got the 5 wings with truffle fries. They tasted really good and I finished it all. I don't usually eat it all but somehow, today I did!

    Mad for Chicken doesn't disappoint. The service is always nice and the food is delicious. I've been here several times and I always get their chicken. I love the tenders and the wings. I like their selection of sauces. I had chicken tenders and the sauces I had were hickory BBQ and Buffalo. I enjoyed my entree and the Parmesan truffle fries. The restaurant wasn't very busy for a Saturday night. I'll definitely be back soon.

    Keep hearing about the Mad for chicken . Decided to give a try .I was not disappointed. Many different favors to choose from. I decided to try soy garlic spicy. must say warning ! you gotta have a stomach for spicy. I have to water down quite a few glass of beer with it.

    The restaurant bar area is sticky and not clean. They also have a B grade. I used to go here all the time and I could've gotten sick. See pics for violations. Disgusting! Do not go here.

    Bulgogi eggs Benedict
    Angela L.

    I'm always worried about going to Mad for Chicken because it takes a while to make the wings. But we got there when they first opened. They got us seated right away and gave us menus along with water. It's a very large space with lots of large screen TV's. I got the bulgogi eggs Benedict from their brunch menu and my daughter and husband split the wings and drumstick combo. The curry flavored popcorn was pretty good and helped to stave off the hunger. We finished off two bowls. My food came out first and it was ok. The bulgogi was the best part. One egg was cooked well while the other was over cooked. The biscuit that the eggs and meat were sitting on was hard and tasteless. The salad wasn't bad. But overall I was disappointed with my meal. The wings and drumsticks however were great: hot, crunchy, and full of flavor. The fries were fine. So maybe stick with the wings and drumsticks. They were the best part and the wait was not that bad this time. One other minor complaint. At the end of the meal our waiter disappeared and we had to flag down someone else to get our check.

    We visited Mad for Chicken on Valentine's Day just to have some drinks. Jason was working the bar but quicker made it clear that he is not a bartender. He proceeded to assist us and what a great time and rinks were had. Thank you Jason we will be back.

    Medium MFC Signature Combo (~$28) & Fries (~$5)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Medium MFC Signature Combo (~$28): 5 drumsticks and 10 wings; half spicy soy garlic and half golden BBQ Fries (~$5 - weekend brunch price): served with ketchup and spicy mayo Aya's take: This Mad For Chicken location is super spacious with plenty of seating. It has a rustic vibe and the lighting is pretty dim inside. We were a large party but our waiter did a good job at cranking out our orders in a timely fashion. The Medium Combo is perfect for sharing among 2-3 people. The Korean fried chicken is absolutely delicious. It's crunchy, crispy, and juicy. The sauce is lightly coated equally on every piece of chicken which helps it maintain that crispiness I love. The half spicy soy garlic and half golden BBQ was a good combination as they had different flavor profiles. The spicy soy garlic is savory and has that umami flavor while the golden BBQ is slightly sweet and tangy. I loved the pickled daikon they give which was the perfect palate cleanser. The Fries are also super crispy and complemented the fried chicken well. Hit the spot and kept me full for hours!

    Not as good as other Mad for Chicken locations. Place wasn't super crowded. Chicken took a long time to get to the table but it still wasn't hot. Chicken was over fried, rendering the outside a very dark brown. Meat inside was a bit tough and dry. All franchises do not serve the exact same quality. The other location in Queens are much better. Decor. A large space, sports bar type atmosphere with lots of dark wood. Television screens showing different sports programs are all throughout the dining area. Some nice booth seating, fills up the back of the restaurant. Restaurant overall is very dark, with dim lighting. Tried the toppoki, which is braised rice cakes We asked it be mild, but it was still too spicy hot. Not sure if it was a mistake or that's just the way, mild spicy is. The hot and spicy eaters at the table ate it up. They have added seafood boils to the menu. Didn't try it. I see most customers ordered fried chicken. So that's what we did.

    Ask the Community - Mad for Chicken Bayside

    I saw an AYCE menu poster on the window. What is included in the all you can eat menu? How much is the all you can eat menu?…

    Anyone been to both Flushing and Bayside location recently? Which place makes better chicken? I've been to Flushing and it was good. Bayside is new so I don't know if the cook is good. Are the chicken breast 100% chicken breast? Or mashed nuggets?

    The same exact quality in my opinion.

Last time I was in town, I tried ~$100 worth of Pelicana Bayside, which ended up being a solid choice. Everyone loved it. This time, I checked Grubhub, Uber Eats, Google Reviews, and of course Yelp! Don Chicken Little Neck was the closest spot with the best reviews. I also noticed there's a Manhattan location, as well as several NJ locations (Ft Lee, Pal Park, Englewood, etc.), which is usually a good sign. I ordered a Soy Garlic combo (6 wings, 2 drums) + pickled radish for pick up--and yes, the aroma driving home got us salivating so much that we didn't bother reheating and just dug in. An obvious rookie mistake, but it still hit the spot. The drums were HUGE. For anyone new to Don, I highly recommend skipping wings and going straight for drumsticks (more bang for the buck). Next visit, new flavor. Perhaps spicy soy garlic.

Tteokbokki is considered street food and its literally rice & fish cakes. And they give you 3 pieces of ginmari. No reason it should be $19. Then for rosé flavor, which is literally just adding heavy cream to the sauce, is an extra $6. Then we ordered the 10 wing + 5 drumstick combo and we asked for half/half sauce assuming half of the 15 pieces are one sauce and the second half is another sauce. First off, they charge you $2 for sauce, which is fine but tell me why they charged us $2 FOUR times. So $8 total for sauce bc they separated the 10 wings into 5 and 5 and put one sauce each and they charged $2 each for that. And then they separated the 5 drumsticks into 3 and 2 and put one sauce each and charged $2 each for that. So total for 10 wings & 5 drumsticks was around $44. I've literally been to every korean fried chicken place on northern blvd and never have they separated the chicken like that and charged the sauces that way. Like why are you charging us for sauce 4 times when it is one single order of chicken. Never coming back here. Its a legit rip off. On top of that, they charge you for to-go containers, which is free at every restaurant. They just charge you exorbitant prices for literally every single thing here. We spent $85, not including tip, on tteokbokki, 15 pc of chicken & an order of fries.

Owners stopped by the table and started conversation. It was karaoke time when we walked in. Food: - their milk tea was highly recommended to us. So four of us tried the hot and cold milk tea and hot milk tea / coffee combo. All of them were very rich in flavor and smooth, exactly what a milk tea should be. $4.75 for a 12 oz hot milk tea is reasonable. - French toast with peanut butter: Love the syrup that it came with. It has a distinct refreshing flavor with delighted sweetness. Definitely different from other syrup from other places which is just pure sweetness. Owner told us the syrup was imported from England. Highly recommended! - turnip, fish ball, rice roll: 3 in one bowl. Portion is enough to share - scallion chicken: It was recommended to me also. It was indeed very tender and flavorful. $24 for half a chicken with one quart of soup. Conclusion: will definitely return.

Bonchon faces stiff competition in the Bayside area. At one time they were the only "game in town" Now there are other Chain and Mom and Pop Korean fried chicken places popping up everywhere giving them competition.

It's like that 80's movie "Honey, I shrunk the kids!" In this case, the wings! As a longtime Bonchon fan. I also question whether my fix justifies the cost as generous portion sizes are no longer the norm, but the prices have gone completely off the rails. Bonchon also decided to phase out and limit its chicken promotions. Bonchon's culinary strengths remain intact though. The double fried chicken retains its iconic crunch, and the soy garlic sauce continues to strike a perfect balance of savory and sweet. I'm afraid Bonchon's pivot toward premium pricing and away from generous promotions reflects a challenging balancing act and risks alienating it's fan base. Come on Bonchon! Do the right thing. Bring back generous portions and reduced prices! Make Korean fried chicken great again! "MKFCGA" :)

Staff greeting and welcoming you with a warm smile when you walked in. Ordered at the counter, would take 10-15 min to make the sandwich. Ambiance wise = Love the hipster comic-styled wallpaper. Super genuine staff and great service as well. Can pay with cash or card, but there's a small service fee being charged for card. Besides getting the Angry Nonna Sandwich ($15.50), also ordered the regular fries that came with spicy mayo ($6.53) + a Krave It pineapple pop soda ($3.96) to wash everything down. Staff brought everything to the table even though it was only self serve. 1) Angry Nonna Sandwich: The mildly spicy sauce was delicious and savory. Chicken parm was seasoned well and not salty. Bread could've been a little more crunchy imo. Portion size was plentiful and definitely enough for a full meal. 2) Regular Hand Cut Fries: So many widely-cut fries and more fries than I'd imagined for a single order. Worth it! Size wise was like those halal rice platter in aluminum foil container. I got full midway but still finished the whole thing. Fries were definitely freshly prepared and made. Could've been just a little bit more crispier. Spicy mayo was the perfect sauce to dip the fries in. 3) Krave It Pineapple Soda: Refreshing to taste with the sandwich & fries. Don't need a bottle opener to pop off the sodas. Just need to twist it off yourself. Easily done! Their sodas are made of cane sugar. The fizziness felt good against the back of my throat. I plan to keep going back whenever I'm in the area by myself or with friends. Would recommend this spot to other Yelpers, family and friends. They're opened to late hours everyday.
