I have been here soooo many times whether eating in or taking out so let me help you get that 5 star experience. Quality: 9/10 I can only speak for the Korean dishes and not the seafood boil, but everything is flavored deliciously and cooked well. Variety: 10/10 there's an overwhelming amount of choices on their menu and you have the seafood boil options. There's also a large beer and cocktail selection. Atmosphere/Cleanliness: 8/10 you feel like you're walking into a wooden lodge upstate about to have an indoor picnic by the fireplace until you see all the flatscreen TVs everywhere. Keep in mind it gets a little loud on game days (no UFC fights tho). Multi-stalled women's bathroom. Service: 8/10 they give free ramen packet flavored popcorn for the table and frequently came by to ask if we needed anything and the food came out really quick. On busier nights tho it might be hard to catch the waiter's attention. Price: $30/person including tax and tip for theses 5 dishes and sodas Tips: Always order their SIGNATURE wings (only soy garlic or spicy soy garlic), yes their traditional wings offer more sauce choices, but the wings are breaded/fried a little differently MUST ORDER: Kimchi fries and Kielbasa bites Soda refills are $1 read more

I haven't been here in a while but it seems they're rating has gone to a B ): They did add a brunch menu which looked interesting but seems like people aren't gravitating towards this restaurant anymore-it was pretty empty on a Saturday. Also now that the grocery store shares the parking lot, it is an AWFUL parking experience. Would rather pay the parking on the street. read more

Hit up Mad for Chicken Bayside for the first time and picked up 20 drums (soy garlic, spicy soy garlic) + (4) radish to bring to a potluck event. Order was ready per scheduled pick up time, and everything was neatly packed in durable yet attractive bags & boxes. Parking (free) was a breeze, thanks to the convenient rear lot shared with Walfood (Chinese market), etc. The parking attendant gives you a card which you get stamped/validated. Payment was also convenient since this particular location, as well as Forest Hills and Astoria, are part of the InKind network; whereas the Flushing (157th & Northern) location is not. The food was a huge hit. I'll def be coming back to this particular location, perhaps happy hour next time, mainly due to quality and convenience. read more

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. read more

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. read 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! read 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! read more

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.

Mad for Chicken Bayside - Nasty - Korean Near Me - Bayside, New York

First time at this chain. I'd heard about it when it was new, and that it was quite popular. However this location was empty when we arrived on a Sat night (it did pick up, but didn't get crazy). Chicken was tasty. Although too different to other KBBQ chains. Buldak was a little too spicy to enjoy the taste, so next time I'll stick to less spicy options. But the other flavors were good. Service is great. They give flavored popcorn at the start which was really good. Parking can be a hassle, but we lucked out and got a spot quickly (metered). read more

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. read more

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! read more

Consistency. 10 years later, the chicken still taste exactly the same. I love soy garlic! My kids love the twister potato chips. Flavorful that sauce isn't necessary but it comes with it anyway.

I really was looking forward to returning after a great happy hour. However, in regard to dine in, it was unsatisfactory to the point that it warranted a review. The first problem we encountered was the lack of coherence when our waitress was taking our order. We had some orders that required some substitutions, and understand that sometimes subs can't be made. However, this was never communicated to us, and we found ourselves with our meals made incorrectly not following sub requests. The second problem was that one person's order came 15 minutes before the rest of ours. We were a party of 5. This is not acceptable if we are all trying to eat together. I understand if a meal may take slightly longer to come out, but it shouldn't exceed 5 minutes. The last problem was how long we had to wait for our check. We waited another 15 minutes after managing to wave down (not) our waiter. It was not even packed. The big problem is the service. Our meals were delicious, which is why the review is not a one star. I hope that the service improves, as I would like to sit down and enjoy a meal, but for now, I'll stick with the happy hour at the bar. read more

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. read more

Wings are good but not better than BonChon but definitely still a good option. I do like this location better than the one in forest hills and the staff here is pretty cool. While I waited for my order I waited at the bar with a drink. The bartender whose name I think was Adrian was very welcoming and followed my instructions when making my off the menu drink. Definitely coming back being that the bar is an added plus over BonChon and their menu selection is bigger. read more

Mad for Chicken Bayside - Soy Garlic Wings...ALL FLATS - Korean Near Me - Bayside, New York

We decided to come here bc it's the only restaurant that was opened in Bayside at 10am (on the weekends), which worked out for us. The staff were very friendly & attentive. We were seated all the way in the back, there were lots of TVs- like a sports bar, and the music was great, maybe a little too loud (& dark). My daughter got the mac & cheese, and we got the spicy chicken sandwich with the dragons' breath sauce on the side as well as the soy garlic signature combo (fyi- chicken takes about 20 minutes). The (Kraft) mac & cheese was cheesy- she devoured all of it, the chicken sandwich was ok- nothing special, and the 5pc drumsticks that were in the combo were huge (like turkey legs). If I had known, I would've gotten the 20 pc wings instead. At least they were good though- perfectly fried, juicy & tender, but could use more sauce. And we really liked the old bay popcorn. I'll definitely try the spicy soy garlic wings next time. They also serve weekend brunch (Fri-Sun) and cajun seafood boil- I need to try those too! read more

I never received my entire order placed through DoorDash. After I contacted the restaurant to request the missing items, I was told that the only option was store credit. I refused, as I have no intention of ordering from them again. Not only was my order incomplete, but the food also tasted reheated. I was ultimately able to get a refund through DoorDash, but I will never order from this restaurant again. read more

Came for lunch and had the combo chix wings. I'd have to say it was good, just good. The drumstick sizes ranged from miniscule to mini turkey legs!

We were the only diners on a Wednesday afternoon. read more

It was about a 30 minutes walk from my house to Mad for Chicken - Bayside. Today, I came here for lunch. Phew, I was seated at a booth table toward the back of the restaurant. I was debating between the Kimchi Fried Rice and the Parmesan Truffle Fries. I wanted to eat something other than a heavy dish, so I ordered the Parmesan Truffle Fries. I told my server that I didn't order the Kimchi Fried Rice. Luckily, he removed it from my bill. The server should have brought the Kimchi Fried Rice back to the kitchen. Instead, he just left it there. He did finally take the Kimchi Fried Rice away. I was dissatisfied with the service. Complimentary Curry Popcorn Food Half & Half Signature Wings (Medium) - I ordered flats without the drumettes. The chicken wings were so flavorful. Parmesan Truffle Fries - crunchy and yummy I will stick with my favorite MFC location. read more

I am not a fan of dimly lit restaurants. My daughter's mac and cheese was in a bowl with a brim of dirt on it, which we didn't notice immediately, Once I advised the wait staff they immediately replaced it and said it wasn't dirt it was dust. Parmesan Truffles fries had very little parmesan. Wings well done and very flavorful. Kimchi rice was good as well. Drumsticks spicy but good. Wait staff nice and attentive. The greeter did more than greet and was very friendly. Although the place is spacious we were sat at a table that had more traffic behind it than we expected. There was no street parking as Bell Blvd is very busy. There is a parking lot behind the building. It was busy for a Friday night but no wait time for seating. read more

I have been to Bayside several times before and I can't believe I overlooked MFC! So after driving nearly 2 hours just for some delicious chicken, I made my way to Mad For Chicken. Our server, the bartender, was really sweet and quick to make sure we got our appetizers first and then our mains. She was very nice and recommended us getting the items listed and they did not disappoint. My friend starting off with their kielbasa and onions, which he loved. He described the kielbasa being well done and with this Smokey flavor and the onions definitely complemented the kielbasa. Then after, we both shared the kimchi fried dumplings. Which had this sweet and spicy sauce on them which worked perfectly with the fried goodness. I could eat them like chips if I could, even though I shouldn't. For our main entree, we ordered the LARGE wing and legs combo. Even though I throughly told the bartender we wanted a medium but honestly, I'm glad her mistake was a win win for us hahaha! Alright guys, MASSIVE chicken leg pieces, smothered with their soy garlic sauce and sweet and spicy sauce. Truly finger lickin good! I could not stop myself by stuffing my face with these delectable wings! Great quality too, the sauces we picked were the sweet and spicy and soy garlic, both recommended by our bartender and honestly were great choices. Definitely will give their other sauces a try next time I'm around! Oh yeah, the ambiance is great! It's like a bbq, roadhouse type of vibe BUT, chicken and beer equals a happy ME hahaha! Listen, it's a "crazy long process for crazy GOOD chicken" thank you for a great dinner! read more

This is my first time trying this establishment and ITS A NO FOR ME. I kept a little holiday party for my staff in which they requested Mad for Chicken. The order was placed in store. I waited over 40 minutes for the chicken, with just a few customers inside dining in (why the long wait?). It's a good size restaurant in which you can dine in. I ordered the 30 piece soy wings (mild). I get back to my office, about 10 minutes away and the wings were SOGGY (no crisp to them at all) . The wings LACKED FLAVOR and I was just tasting the soy. It was all around TERRIBLE. My staff agreed and advised they think it was just a bad day lol (bless their hearts lol) . Soggy flavorless wings to me . I'm not sure if I myself would try them again , but if my staff wanted it again of course I would make it happen . 2 stars for the kind lady who took my order, and for the establishment being clean . read more

Chicken is ok, just like another Korean fried chicken. Nothing special about it. I would go back and give it another try.

My wife has brought Mad for Chicken home from Bayside a few times. I have never been to the restaurant so this review is based off the food only. Even being reheated due to the long drive, it's really good. The fries are crispy and delicious. The fried dumplings have a lot of flavor. The chicken wings are very crispy on the outside, but juicy on the inside. Always a treat when I know my wife is bringing Mad for Chicken home. read more

I was here for a work event and I was blown away by the service and hospitality that the waiters and waitresses gave. All orders went through quick and came out delicious. Parmesan truffle fries are always 10/10 and the wings are CRISPY. Soy garlic is so good. Wish they had their regular drumsticks on the event menu. We had a separate menu to choose from specifically for this event and were limited to basically bar food/apps but they were ON IT and quick with the refills for our drink orders. Would love returning here again and again for happy hour! So worth!! Although the dim lighting did set the mood and made me more drowsy after one too many soju cocktails read more

I've given this restaurant 4 chances before I had to write this review. Yesterday was the last straw. I'm a huge fan of Mad for Chicken, usually this is always my go to spot because of the parking lot. The food is average compared to the other locations, there is nothing too special about it since it is turning into a chain. The issue is the service, each time I have been here with people usually 3 people max, 5 people at the highest and 2 people at the lowest. The service from my waiter has been HORRIBLE. I'm talking, they would come take the order and never show their face again. They would miss items in the order and I would have to hunt someone else down not servicing my area to come to a solution. I would have to go to the front desk aka the pick up area to let them know I'm ready for my bill and boxes to go. This is horrible, I went yesterday and the mac and cheese came out at a fast pace with the fries (this was not what I personally ordered) the food I ordered (tenders) came out 16 minutes later, so I sat there looking at my guest eat for that time. Not to mention, my order of Coke Zero never arrived, are you serious mad for chicken waiter? Not even the drink arrived? Overall, the service here was always gross and never lived up-to any standards. You would come here because there is a parking lot where you can snag some easy parking, that's it. read more
