spicy rice cake with cheese
Sherry C.

Mad For Chicken finally opened, so of course my friends and I had to check it out for some Korean fried chicken. Unfortunately, they were out of several menu items, so we weren't able to order everything we originally wanted. We ended up ordering a spicy chicken sandwich with fries, traditional Mad tenders with golden BBQ sauce on the side, signature mad tenders with spicy soy garlic sauce, kimchi vegetable dumplings (mild), parmesan truffle fries, and spicy rice cakes. My friends also added buldak sauce on the side. Overall, we'd rate the food a solid 4 out of 5--everything we tried was flavorful and satisfying. Our overall experience was still positive. The manager came over and apologized for the lack of ingredients, which we appreciated. That said, for a restaurant that just had its grand opening, I do think they should've been better stocked. The interior is clean with a nice, modern aesthetic. The lighting is on the darker side, but it adds to the ambiance. Parking was easy when we went (it was a cold night), and the lot is shared with other businesses, so availability may vary depending on the time. The location itself is easy to find--just look for their sign. I'd definitely come back and try more items once they're fully stocked.

Came here at 11 am to order takeout, Carissa took my order- she was very friendly & helpful. I got the 20 pc half & half soy garlic wings and parmesan truffle fries. She quoted me "about a 20-25 minute" wait but I ended up waiting 35 minutes, which is fine since they just opened. The wings were good like how it's supposed to be- crispy, juicy & flavorful with just the right amount of batter. I really liked the spicy soy garlic flvr paired with pickled radish- there's a pleasant kick to it but not too intense. The truffle fries were good too. Would definitely come back to this MFC location.

Great!!! The chicken is fried to perfection with your choice of sauce my favorite is the soy garlic. I had the truffle fries the potatoes chip like appetizers on a skewer bigger than expected and bologna noodles which was amazing. Bold flavors. Staff were friendly and attentive. Ambiance was nice rustic vibe, good for groups & children No alcohol beverages at this location not sure bout others.

Individual chicken combo with fries. Two drummies and a boneless thigh. Soy garlic and spicy.

I've gone MAAAAAAAAADDDD! With how good the food was here. I'm so sad that it's in Long Island area and I have to take the LIRR to get here plus an additional 2 ish mile walk. Would I do it again just to come here? Prolly not LOL because that's asking too much but the food was really good I can consider it I came all the way from Jersey City to visit the mall in the area and I'm so glad I stopped by here instead of getting a biggie bag at Wendy's. I really did consider that cuz I spent too much at the mall. Service was nice and they were kind enough to split the flavors of my combo because the place was slow. TBH it should never be slow. Chicken crispy and flavorful. Kimchi rice, good and hearty. The fries are those battered fries. Plus they do soju here, yeah you're gonna have a blast here. Super mellow but the food is wildin! Will recommend to those who are in the area after they do some shopping. Well time for my journey back to Jersey City.

Once inside, you enter the best of what Korean BBQ has to offer. It's no wonder this establishment keeps growing - a new Commack location is imminent. No need to fear about speaking English - the staff speak better English than me! Speaking of staff - Nick was our server for a large group ranging from infant to senior citizens. He was patient with our many questions about the different types of meat and was ever attentive to all of our needs, both young and old. Nick was so good, we had the manager (who had just finished her shift and was walking in the parking lot) return to the restaurant so that we could let her know how great Nick was! Treat yourself to Korean BBQ today...

There aren't vents above the grills so the smoke can get on you and in your way (my friend was coughing and sweating a lot every time the smoke blew her way...). We tried the pork spicy bulgogi, spicy chicken, and chicken breast (plain). The marinades ran far too sweet for my likely so I ended up preferring the plain chicken and also didn't think the marinades were spicy enough. The spicy tofu soup was a great side option to have. The banchan were also all slightly too sweet for me, the soybean sprouts were my favorite mainly because they were not overly sweetened. The radish, daikon, and kimchi were all way too sweet and really tolerable for a couple bites. Also tried the grilled vegetables and bibimbap bowl for some additional veggies and rice. The service is quite good and their staff will help grill and check in on your food so you can focus on eating. The music here is a tad loud but you can still have a conversation. Per person cost was nearly $50 so it exceeded $60 per person with tip. Would only recommend if you can tolerate sweet marinades and can get your money's worth for that base cost.

I've never had shabu shabu…read morebefore, and it was pretty much the same as other hot pot places that I've been to, but I was really blown away at how clean and modern and large this restaurant was. We came on a Friday night close to 6:30 PM, and it was already pretty full, but thankfully we did not have to wait. Like other people have said in the reviews, I feel like the food was all fresh, and I really liked that they tried to keep it on ice. There's also a huge sauce selection, and I also appreciate that they had soft serve ice cream as well. It's $25 per person as of September 2026, but of course, if you get meat as well as any other beverages, those are additional costs. With tip, for two of us, the total ended up being closer to $100. But both of us felt like it was a really good amount of food for what we paid, and the experience was nice. They also had music playing, so it was kind of fun to dance along in our seats while we were eating. I can definitely see us making more trips here, especially in the colder months!

I wasn't sure how I felt about paying a base price and then meat by the plate, but I actually prefer it! The veggies were all so fresh, and there were many choices of veggies, fishcake, and noodles. Our server, Susi, gave such great service. She took our initial meat order. checked on us regularly to see if we needed more water, fill our hot pot when the broth was running low, and made just enough small talk to make us feel welcome and taken care of. She explained the way things work when we first sat down, and let us know when the buffet was closing soon. The restaurant was very clean, overall very well run, and dessert (ice cream and dole whip) was the cherry on top! I will definitely come back the next time I'm in Hempstead.

The owners seem to know all of their regulars here, and made time to stop by each table to greet customers. The menu here is fairly extensive with different sushi/sashimi combinations. Great for groups, and for really reasonable prices too. We ordered two mystery boxes ($55? or $50? for the premium, and about $35 for the regular) and two sushi/sashimi omakase dinners. Everything was DELIGHTFUL. I usually find one or two pieces that I'm not the greatest fan of, and that was the case here too with a torched piece (not sure what it was). The other fish was great though - they don't skimp on portions & the rice is well seasoned. The interior of the restaurant is a bit dated, but doesn't take away from the food. Will definitely be back! Parking was fairly easy in the neighborhood.

Our waiter was possibly new and I mean my dad is in the business so I'm very understanding and quite easy to please. They have mocktails and cocktails here. I don't drink so I love some good mocktails. I ordered a strawberry dreams too. I didn't even realize they also have an alcoholic drink called strawberry dreams lol. I mean whoever made the menu maybe don't do that. Anyway I was confused when he came out with two drinks but we explained it's the name of the drink, not 2 lol and we thought it was sort of funny. You'd think maybe he'd say oh there is an alcoholic version. Anyway I took a sip and yeah a nice strong yummy drink. I mean if I wanted alcohol I'd be very pleased lol. I didn't so I was like um yeah I just wanted a mocktail. So yeah got my mocktail which was also very yummy. I took off a star and debated between 3-4 stars because I have an alcoholic mom in recovery. I started to wonder well what if that had been her? My mom has a nose like a dog so she probably would've smelled the drink before ever taking a sip lol but still I can't even imagine like well what if it was my mom? I'm not in recovery though and my mom wasn't with us, nor did it happen to her lol. It was a silly mistake so yeah that's why I went back and forth between 3-4 with the stars in my review. I haven't even told my mom about the silly mixup because I don't want her being terrified anytime we go out to dinner that she might accidentally drink alcohol :P They should really think about changing the drink names so there is never any confusion! Just encase it's ever someone who really cannot drink and could ruin their life lol. But hey it wasn't the end of the world for me and now an amusing story we have to tell. I ended up with the 4 stars because the rock & roll shrimp was really delicious. So was the sushi esp the tuna one.

I ordered the dry rub and garlic Parmesan wings. Both were very crispy and delicious, but a little too mild for my taste. I would have enjoyed them even more if they had a bit of a kick. I came back for more wings, this time trying the Korean BBQ and Nashville BBQ flavors. Both were supposed to be medium-spicy and sweet. I also didn't realize it was happy hour, so I grabbed a $5 taco while I was there. The Korean BBQ wings were good, with a nice balance of spicy and sweet. The Nashville BBQ wings had a good kick, but I didn't really taste any sweetness. Overall, the garlic Parmesan wings are still my favorite, even though they weren't spicy. The taco was also great! I got the carne ahumada, and it was delicious, will definitely order again. They have outdoor seating, which is always my preference whenever the weather permits. I'll definitely be back to try their BBQ ribs one weekend! The staff are friendly!

Me becomes easily off the bone but it's still chewy in parts. The KC red sauce is forgettable, and if you've ever had authentic KC barbecue sauce you know that is a major unforgettable part. They have a nice selection of different foods on the menu, and the sides are pretty good for the most part. Service is very good and the food came out quite quickly. They have a take-out section in the back that is also very good.

Think: pop art and cherry blossoms decorating a woodsy interior. The staff is super kind and service was relatively quick for a restaurant that quickly filled up after opening! I ordered the mushroom bao to start, the mentaiko pasta as an entree and the matcha parfait for dessert. The bao had a light truffle flavor to it which was surprising, but flavorful nonetheless. The mentaiko pasta, very comparable to the ones found in the city. Lush, plush noodles, salty, with a bit of sea flavor. Its a contrast from what you consider traditional Japanese food, and well worth a try if you're looking for something different! My favorite part of the meal was dessert though. The matcha parfait was incredible. Please listen to the servers when they tell you to scoop out this beautiful parfait into the provided bowl, because it gives you easy access to all the flavors and textures. Creamy matcha, tangy cream cheese, crunchy cereal and refreshing jelly all come together to make an outstanding dessert. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. If not for the ramen, at least for the parfait!
