I went to Mad for Chicken today with one other person, which was a Wednesday around 6:30pm. There were plenty of seats and we didn't have to wait. We were greeted with a complimentary popcorn, which was delicious! The waiter was also incredibly attentive to our table and made sure to check on us occasionally. The ambiance is dim, kind of like a bar restaurant without too much noise. It's a great spot for a date night out. We ordered 20 pieces of wings, half with soy garlic and the other half with mango habanero, tteok-Bokki (with cheese) and truffle fries. I personally do not handle spice very well, however the mango habanero was surprisingly good and not too spicy. In my opinion, I thought the tteok-bokki was spicier but not too spicy to the point where I couldn't take a second bite. Although I have been to many other Mad for Chicken chains before, this is my first time in the Forest Hills location and also my first time publishing a review for this restaurant. I would totally come back! read more

Cuisine: 6 Service: 6 Decor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 6 Let me start off by saying that I have never been the biggest Korean fried chicken fan because I find them somewhat lacking juiciness due to the extra time their frying process needs to make the skin extra crispy and crunchy. The thighs/drumsticks are better, but the chicken wings are always too dry for me. With that said, Mad For Chicken chain has been around for a while, producing one of the more tender and juicier piece of chicken. Unfortunately, we did not love their sauces at this location. The soy garlic felt weak, while the spicy soy garlic was not spicy. Serano chili was okay but nothing special either. Our favorite thing that day was their Bulgogi Toppoki Japchae. It was pretty tasty. Might come back for this dish and give their chicken one more chance. read more

I have been going to this location for years but ai know they have one in Brooklyn. This was the first time, it was so packed that we ended up sitting at the bar. Normally, you get an order of popcorn (y'all, idk what kind of seasoning the popcorn has but it's sooo good), we didn't get any but chalked it up to the place being soooo busy. Ok, ok now for the food and dranks. We ALWAYS get the Kimchi fries and order of half/half soy garlic & spicy garlic wings - our order was messed up but we didn't care b/c the garlic soy wings are always good (we didn't get the spicy garlic wings) For dranks, we got a Blue Moon + a soju flight..i wasn't a fan of the flight but it had nothing to do do w/MFC - it all boils down the personal preference. read more

One of a few places that has the type of spicy soy garlic chicken that I prefer. MFC's spiciness is actually a bit much for me so can only eat a few. We usually get the half-half so have some sweet soy garlic ones for relief, plus sides of rice and radish. Most recently we went for happy hour. Good for when just want small portion, like $6 for 4 spicy wings was perfect for me. read more

I've been to this location a few times it's usually slow but tonight was really ridiculous. We ordered some fries and 10 tenders, we waited for the tenders for at least 35-40 minutes. The food finally came out we ate and were ready to leave. It took a while for the waiter to come to get us a check. We put our card down and waited a while for our waiter and then I looked at the bar and she had sat down with what seemed to be a friend...looked our way and then tried the hide. We had to ask one of the guys from the kitchen to check us out. read more

Came here with my friend on a whim, as we got hungry after retail therapy. I've been to the location in Flushing but wasn't too into it. But I was in the mood for some Korean fried chicken. They had happy hour food specials, so we ordered two orders of chicken tenders (soy garlic & spicy garlic) & parmesan fries off it. Also ordered the kimchi vegetable dumplings off regular menu. We weren't starving by any means, but thought everything was amazing. The chicken was good. Although, I would probably get wings next time. Parmesan fries were delicious. But the star was definitely the dumplings. We ordered the mild which had the right amount of heat. The spicy might've been too much. Service was friendly and efficient. Great HH deals. You really can't go wrong. read more

I stopped in for lunch because I was really hungry, and the place definitely has a sports bar feel with lots of wood and a few TVs. They offer complimentary popcorn, which was nice, but the seasoning on it was pretty odd. Still, hunger won, so I ate it. I ordered the chicken avocado sandwich specifically because it was grilled and not fried. What I didn't expect was that the chicken would be sliced up and placed in the sandwich. Because of that, the pieces just kept falling out and the whole thing became a mess to eat. The chicken itself was a bit salty and also a little dry. I ended up adding BBQ sauce just to give it some flavor. The avocado was good, but since the sandwich fell apart, I basically ended up dipping the chicken pieces into the sauce. I'm still confused why they would slice up a chicken breast for inside a sandwich... Overall, I was pretty disappointed with my meal. I ate what I could because I was starving, but I wouldn't order that sandwich again read more

I spent Christmas at my folks place this year. It was a quant one with just us three, so we decided we'd be ordering some takeout. Wanting to switch things up a bit from the usual, we all agreed that Mad for Chicken had our ticket for the evening. This was my mom's first time having them and she loved her crispy meatless chicken bowl with white rice! My dad had the same, except with quinoa. He finished every crumb and was also quite happy with his decision. I myself went with the crispy chicken bowl with white rice and noodles. It was was soo darn good.. I really love that dish. With a few dabs of their hot sauce.. it's quite magnificent. If I could, I would order from them every single night! read more

To be fair, I only got these chilly fries and then dumplings (half hot and half regular). The dumplings were pretty terrible. Didn't taste like dumplings at all. More like some processed fake meat inside?? As for the fries, not terrible but it had a very strange spice on it that I couldn't pinpoint. The service was good. The place itself is a little weird with the long shared tables. The bar area is very nice. read more

My family loves their fried chicken the best bc it's actually double fried! I used to drive to their original location near North Flushing bc an old daycare friend recommended this place to me and when I ate their first time was amazed! so I brought some home. now they opened a spot near my home and they have a few more locations so much easier to get service! we usually take out but ambiance is nice. great hangout place for large groups. read more

I came here mainly because it was opened late - my friend and I were hungry after a concert. And secondly, I thought you couldn't go bad with Mad for Chicken (based on my experience at the other Queens locations). However, this location proved me wrong... in a negative way. When my friend and I first sat down, I noticed the late night happy hour menu, which we were right in the timeframe for. So, we decided to order a few options from that menu. We each decided to get a beer considering its discounted price. Since we are both novice at beer consumption, we asked our server some questions and his opinion, but noticed that he wasn't knowledgeable about any of these beers at all. I was taken aback a bit but didn't bother me much. In the end, we both decided to go with our gut choices. We also decided to share a serving of nachos & toppoki. Despite the server saying that the nachos from the late night menu is a smaller portioned size, I thought it was adequate enough considering how we didn't want to eat too much so late at night. So, I thought that it was a good portion size and tasted good. However, I was very disappointed by the toppoki. First of all, the toppoki was very sweet and not spicy at all! It was filled with onion slices. The rice cakes were the smallest ones I've ever seen when ordering this dish elsewhere. As a Korean, I know this isn't authentic at all and would not recommend. Also seeing that there weren't any Korean employees working at this Korean fried chicken chain location, I wasn't totally surprised at how mediocre it was. Lastly, what disappointed me the most... was their honesty in doing business. When we received the bill for our meal, my friend paid with her card. Immediately after we got the final receipt, I noticed that they upcharged us for the beer (not the price listed on the late night menu). So when I went to ask them about this, they gave the excuse that beers are exempt from this special pricing because "it's a concert night". I was kinda dumbfounded. Never once did they mention that when we were ordering from the late night menu in the first place (maybe wouldn't have ordered it if it wasn't cheaper). I also wondered if they might have changed it if I noticed before paying, but I personally thought that they were just lazy to refund or alter that amount since it was already paid for. The experience with the mediocre toppoki and the upcharge for "concert nights" did not leave a good first impression on either one of us. I personally would not visit this location again and would actually recommend others to visit Flushing/Bayside locations instead. read more

For the past 4 yrs we've been going to Madefor Chicken they've Consistently delivered good food

I came with a group here for lunch the other week and really enjoyed my meal. It's a nice space and the service was good. It's a chill place. Seems to be family friendly, but they also have great happy hour specials. My meal is what this review is really for, though. I ordered the Crispy Chicken Bowl and thought it was fantastic. The chicken was great and the bowl was loaded with chicken, veggies, glass noodles, and quinoa. It was really delicious, and I made it two meals. Everyone around me seemed to have enjoyed their meal, too. I'll definitely be back to order this bowl again and try more of their menu! read more

I have eaten at this location twice and I'm done. Some of the food is fine, some is not. I prefer to not receive rotten avocado on my chicken sandwich. I won't be going back. read more

Terrible experience! We ordered chicken wings and a salad. The salad was okay, but the chicken wings were absolutely awful -- they cost $30 and were spoiled, smelly, not fresh, and even burnt! The smell was unbearable. We asked them to take the wings back and refund us, but they refused. I strongly warn others not to eat here -- the food is not fresh, especially the chicken, and it's way overpriced! read more

I can't speak about the service because this was a delivery order, but I've passed by and it looked like it'd be a great drinking spot for a fun time with friends! This was my first time trying Mad for Chicken, and I was disappointed by the Signature Wings. The bones were broken, which wasn't a big deal but I had never seen that before in wings. I like a lot of meat in my wings, but these weren't those type of wings. The Spicy Soy Garlic sauce on them were good though. The Spicy Soy Garlic Mad Tenders were tender and flavorful without drowning in sauce. It wasn't particularly juicy, but I did like the tenders anyway. The spice level in the soy garlic sauce was perfect. Even though I like both kimchi and fries, I've decided I'm not a big fan of them together in the Kimchi Fries. The fries have the perfect amount of potato and was crisp with the perfect fried texture on the outside. I would go back for the regular fries because the fries themselves were really good! read more

I've heard about Mad for Chicken for years now but have never gotten the chance to stop in until recently. I came in with a friend on a Monday at around 6 pm. Surprisingly, around this time there were a decent amount of people, both at the bar and seated at tables. We weren't very hungry but wanted a pick-me-up after work, so we opted for the Happy Hour menu, which had such great prices! Between the two of us, we got the Parmesan Fries, Lychee Soju Cocktail, and Sangria, all of which were $5 each. We were anticipating getting another appetizer in addition to the fries, but we were surprised by the amount that came with the order and how filling they were, even between two people. The Lychee Soju and Sangria were delicious too! Both were fruity and sweet but weren't too strong. Can't speak too much about the food since all we had were the fries, but I'd come back again for the drinks! I'll have to explore the food selection at another time when I'm hungrier. read more

First visit first impression is very important!!! I couldn't find the excitement at my first visit. I would understand certain places extremely busy, when you make a mistake i would give credit. We didn't even wait that long to be seated!! Place wasn't even packed, and my order was forgotten, when it came it was wrong. Waited over 40 minutes to get one item to be served. Other than that: Crab salad was ok! Kimchi fried rice is superb! Mac and cheese with bulgogi, can have it again. Wings were average, just because they use miscut chicken wings. You buy these at grocery at discounted prices. Nachos terrible, not only it was prepared wrong, when the right item came, there wasn't even enough ground beef with chili!! read more

I really wanted to like this place due to the raving reviews and the misleading pics, so I ordered lunch from here.. Huge disappointment! The wings and drumsticks combo were COLD, hard, dry and lacked flavor. The so called "crispy chicken bowl" was meh. The chicken was NOT crispy at all, in fact they were soggy. Underneath the soggy chicken pieces, lay cold rice, a few pieces of glass noodles, guacamole and pica de gallo drenched in an overpowering bbq sauce..It was extremely underwhelming on so many levels..the BBQ sauce doesn't even mesh with the other items, it was sooo distasteful! At least now I can say i've tried Mad for Chicken..and i'm definitely NOT Mad for this chicken. :-/ read more

Pretty much what I was expecting. If you're in the mood for chicken wings this is a solid option. We got both types of chicken wings (traditional & Korean). I do wish the spicy Korean option had a bit more of a kick but they were fried nicely with a nice glaze. For the traditional wings, I wish they came with sauces standardly as it seems a little unjust to have to pay extra for any sauce at baseline (the blue cheese and Ranch really were clutch for these). I ordered ahead and they were ready for pick-up by the allotted time. Prices reasonable for what it is. read more

Went for lunch on a Wednesday around noon and the place was pretty empty. Service was attentive. We both ordered the lunch special which the server pointed out to us. While we waited, we got seasoned popcorn and water. The lunch special of 2 drumsticks and a thigh plus French fries came with a soda. All for only $12.99. The food portions were so large, I packed home half my fries and a drumstick. Definitely would go back to try some of the other lunch specials. read more

FOOD: Amazing SERVICE: Absolutely horrible We have no complaints about the food--it was delicious. Unfortunately, the service was practically non-existent. Our waiter took our appetizer and drink order and then never returned to our table. Eventually, another server noticed us looking around and came over to help. When I asked if she could find our original waiter, she said, "Don't worry, I can take care of you." I asked if they split tips, and she gave me a disappointed look and said yes--probably because she knows her coworkers don't pull their weight. read more

Yum yum yum! Stopped by for a quick last minute dinner choice. I did not get a chance to eat inside so I cannot tell you their customer service inside. I placed an order over the phone and they gave me a 20 minute wait time for the food. As soon as I arrived home I tried the sweet potatoes but I have to say they were soggy. May just be a preference but I enjoy a good crunchy fry. My bowl was really tasteful. I would be returning back to try out another bowl! read more

Went here for late lunch with my kids and luckily noticed the lunch menu. The rice bowls are $15 which is the same price as the regular menu - the only difference is that the lunch menu comes with free drinks. Drinks are limited to sodas, lemonade and teas. Ordered 2 bulgogi bowl only to be told it is NOT in their "system" and is not included in the lunch special. I don't know what "system" that is but if you have it in the menu (see photo) but are not offering it then it's blatant FALSE ADVERTISING. What actually annoyed me more is the fact that they were trying to charge me extra for an arnold palmer (half lemonade/half tea) so I ended up ordering one tea and one lemonade as the free drinks and just mixed it myself. Ah. Seriously. It's not even a busy time right now and it feels like the staff has nothing to so but mess with me. read more

Hard not to enjoy this casual spot for Korean fried chicken and This location has a sports bar feel to it with a television lined bar and laminated menus for beers on tap. There is a happy hour on weekdays. Service is friendly and attentive. Mad for chicken makes one of the better renditions of Korean fried chicken you can find. The batter is crispy and the chicken within feels quality. They come with daikon and your choice of ranch or blue cheese. Soy garlic is my go to but I tried the buffalo and sweet and spicy which were both good too. The kimchi fries were a great accompaniment. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon with a group of friends and was seated quickly. Very spacious with many TVs showing sports. We ordered their signature wings (half soy garlic & half spicy soy garlic, came with a side of radish), tteokbokki (with additional cost of noodles), and dumplings. The chicken wings were pretty good - nicely seasoned, tender inside with a crunchy outside. The tteokbokki was not spicy so it was perfect for me. Highly recommend the dumplings because of its crispiness! The complimentary popcorn tasted like it was flavored with curry spices (and it sadly also tasted stale but it was free so no biggie). If you like wings, soy garlic sauce, crispiness, this place won't disappoint. Get your wings (and dumplings)! read more

First time in this location and it honestly didn't make me wanna go back there. Took forever to clear a table, after sitting for 5min no menu's were given so we had to ask unfortunately. The popcorn they give to share for the table was stale. I also didn't like that they couldn't give chicken with no sauce. I do like their parmesan truffle fries even though it taste like more Parmesan than truffle. I also didn't like that their dumplings weren't individually cooked instead were mixed with vegetable, pork and beef. The service wasn't great but I'm not sure if it's cause it was 12am or they were just not on top of their game. I highly doubt I'll be going back there. read more

My friend was raving about the chicken here so we decided to come after our 5k. They opened at 11am and we got there as soon as they opened. We were the first ones in the restaurant. I didn't expect it to be a restaurant/bar. I thought it was a fast food chicken spot. This was definitely better. Our server greeted us and we ordered right away. They had a full bar but we all got sodas since it was so early. They brought us complimentary popcorn. I didn't like the seasoning on the popcorn but my friends loved it. I ordered 10 wings with sweet and spicy sauce on the side. They had a variety of sauces to choose from. I got a side of fries as well. The chicken was crispy! Everyone really enjoyed their food.

Mad for Chicken is local Forest Hills 71-37 Austin St chicken joint that has marinated and battered chicken with soy garlic and spicy flavors. Love the combo wings and thighs choice. There are Kim Chi sides and this addictive corn salad. Always -get at least 2 sides of that corn when order there. Also the little pickled radish cubes are delicious to be used as palate cleanser. Also usually (sometimes not-don't know why) delicious dumplings side- so if that is there, take advantage of it-Don't miss those. Chicken sandwiches and salads too. There is a Kim Chi refried bean cheese quesadilla with pico or guac sauce to choose from which a good comfort dish. It is filling so take to go or delivery. First want to go for juicy hot fried soy garlic chicken. Even when "trying" to be keto (Ha! Right?) I pull off luscious flavored batter and the juicy marinated hot chicken sooo good. Quizzical menu mix but my kind of comfort food faves. My go to when crave chicken fry, that if necessary (need to fit in my clothes after all), can rip off luscious batter and still taste delicious juicy chicken. Giving a 4, only cause once burned lips on Kim chi- but that's on my Northern European fragile skin, otherwise 5 all the way. read more

Mad for Chicken is a go-to for some good chicken. There are multiple locations they're pretty much the same. I get both bone-in and boneless depending on what I'm craving, and my default is always the spicy soy garlic flavor, it's tasty. The quantity is decent, doesn't leave you hungry. Tip: Order a rice if you get the boneless. Service is good - no complaints there. Quick and friendly. Keep in mind the chicken is refried, so if you can stomach that, you're in for a treat. Overall, Mad for Chicken is a reliable spot for a spicy fried chicken fix. read more

I went here for a date night with my boo and wanted to treat him to his favorite spot.. I went once years ago at a diff location and didn't like it but this time, it changed my mind. We ordered a lychee martini and mango margarita. They were out of towers which cost 50 bucks (I recommend it because drinks are about 12-14 each, and if you get two each, might as well get the drink tower). The drinks were really strong and flavorful. We also got the soju drink sampler which was delicious , the lychee one was my favorite. For food, we got the dumplings(according to him, they were tasty, I don't eat pork) for starters and the Parmesan truffle fries. The fries were the star of the show. Lots of truffle and parm!! I find places will skimp on one or the other but this was balanced. For our meal, we got the 10 piece spicy soy chicken wings and the avocado salad. The chicken was lukewarm when it was brought out which I didn't like. However, it was tasty. The chicken was honestly spicy and I was surprised. I love spicy and many places will say spicy and it isn't.. so this was just right. The avocado salad was amazing, it was full of Parmesan , avocado and baby tomatoes over a bed of greens with a olive oil sesame dressing. My boyfriend doesn't really eat salads like that but this one was enjoyable for him. The service was quick and reliable, and our waiter was really friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for the salad recommendation! Our bill was 98 dollars before tip. read more

We stopped by for lunch and it was a good decision. We didn't even realize but they have a happy hour 3-6pm for food and drinks. We got 20 wings with half/half sauce of: the spicy & sweet and Buffalo. They both weren't crazy spicy but I was definitely a fan of the Buffalo more. The wings themselves were really crispy and had a nice texture! They also give you a small bucket to throw away the bones which I liked as it keeps your table organized. We tried the lychee soju frozen drinks ($5 for happy hour) and they're so good- dangerous also because you can easily drink a few quick!! Overall it was a great lunch spot and the service was quick. We didn't really have to wait for anything. read more
