With MFC restaurants closer to home, I go out of my way to visit the Plainview store. Totally crave worthy. The best fried chicken ever. Friendly staff, chill environment. Clean place. Highly recommend. read more

My daughter has a martial arts class at the other end of the shopping center so I thought I'd take a stroll to see what else is in the mall. Mad For Chicken has been around for a couple of years and I took a peek inside and had a beer while I waited for her class to be over. The nice bartender offered me a menu and chatted with me a bit while I enjoyed a local brewer's IPA. The first I tried was a bit flat, but the double IPA was just right. No comment on food because we were going home for dinner but the ambience was great and the restaurant is casual and chill. Booths and tables throughout offer a relaxed dining experience. I look forward to coming in to try some of the food offerings they have. read more

Came here when sometime when it first opened...friendly staff and food is made to order so it did take about 20 or so to wait for the food as we dined in... Shared parking lot with other place in the area. Spacious seating. Variety of options to select from just like the other Mad for Chicken locations..was happy to try another location. Dinner with friends while in the area...complimentary popcorn while we waited for our food. We had the crab salad to start - yum as always. Japchae was also good. Had the chicken combo with soy garlic sauce... it was ok. The batter was way too thick so needed so it was a bit disappointing but hopefully the formula has been adjusted since. Surprised it came with such a small amount of pickled radish. Had to ask for another. perhaps not a lot of people like picked radish...but we do. Restrooms in the back are gender neutral. Will come back to try again along with other interesting items on the menu since it is a convenient place while in the area...with a lot of shopping. read more

We stopped in because we were craving KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) What a great find. The service was excellent, the chicken was great and they also had decent other options for Korean food with a modern twist. The drink menu is pretty creative and expansive too and it looks like the place is set up for evening Karoke... super fun. read more

stopped in for a couple of cocktails and ended up meeting Mike one of the friendliest owners who was also the bartender who made us feel right at home. we had a few different types of cocktails and sangria's and they just kept tasting better and better. We also ordered their kielbasa bites with caramelized onions that were outstanding. they have a large dining area and a nice size bar with plenty of TVs if you're interested in sports. read more

Uncooked chicken, not smart , nobody takes pride in their job anymore, well good luck you will be gone soon

I was surprised by the rating of this place after trying it. Unfortunately, the food was really disappointing. I ordered the chili fries ($14), which tasted like they were made with frozen fries, and the chili itself was very thin and watery, it tasted like actual water? I also tried the mac and cheese ($14), which didn't have much flavor, the cheese seemed curdled and the pasta was overcooked. Overall, the quality didn't match the price. read more

Hey MFC, Just had an order of 10 soy garlic wings. Exceptional as usual. Tried your Korean traditional wings tonight with a 30 pack. The wings were even when we took them home on a cold night exceptionally hot, crispy and perfectly cooked. BUT, very under seasoned! Chef where's your salt? All these wings need are salt from brine or in your batter or even after frying. Don't depend on the flavor of your sauces. They didn't carry the day. But a little seasoning on those wings and you'll have a return customer! read more

MFC Plainview was absolutely popping off on this Friday night, with so many tables filled with family and friends, even early on in the evening! But the staff was very efficient in seating us and taking our orders. We ordered a round of Seoul Train, which the staff was happy to set up for us (a pitcher of beer-- Alegash as suggested-- and a bottle of soju with lots of regular and shot glasses). I was very appreciative, as it sometimes makes a lot of mess for the staff to clean! My brother got the fun drinking experience he wanted. For food, we ordered our usual-- the kimchi fries, MFC signature half-and-half, and the budae jjigae (army stew). Let me tell you, everything was good, but the budae jjigae was AMAZING tonight! We were literally scraping the bottom of the pot, and I'm not usually a soup girl! The kimchi and the broth was absolutely chef's kiss. It was lovely tucking into this big old pile of food, as we chatted with some of the other guests and shared our recommendations. We got to try a new beer today, which had notes of peach and elderberry. I'm so mad I didn't catch the name of this beer, because it was perfectly light and crisp, with the fruity scent just lingering over the glass the entire drink. I'm not usually a beer girly, but this was a beer I could really enjoy. The staff was very gracious to keep and bring out birthday cake for us to celebrate. This was a perfect place to celebrate my baby brother's 21st birthday!!! Thanks so much Mike & staff at MFC Plainview for making this day so magical! read more

Honestly --this place was really great. The service was outstanding and so were the wings: we came for happy hour so drinks were lower and we got 4 wings for $5 bucks and we got 20 all together and tried different sauces. We could taste each one differently but they all looked the same! The ambiance is like a modern pub with a touch of log cabin feel. They are located in a strip mall and if they were in downtown huntington -they would be packed everyday: read more

Answering to business: I didn't request my food in 7m nor I mention that anywhere in my review? I think you have me confused with someone else. I'm just talking about the taste of your food, which we didn't like. We didn't finish the food, but we can take the food we paid for so others can eat it since we didn't like it, not sure why that bothers you. Don't be sour. We didn't like it, I'm glad you have other customers. Good luck. read more

I think I need to come back and try something else. I didn't like how cold the nachos were. A plus is that it's ALOT of nachos. Apparently it's bc all the condiments are cold but the cheese. Even the cheese was cold though. The tenders weren't bad. I had truffle fries, and something else idr the name. I'm going to come back alone and retry something else. There was a huge party going on so I felt the food was taking some time but the workers were nice. read more

Several meals in over many weeks & months and Mike's disposition hasn't changed. Super friendly, kind and giving. A man with a passion for his business. My last visit I sat for dining in and the crowd was beautiful. Very diverse and everyone looked to be enjoying themselves. Mike recognized me immediately even though I hadn't been there in a while. Just as kind & sweet as always. We shared some adult beverages & chatted as I waited for my order of spicy soy garlic wings with Extra Pickled Radish. Yummyliciousness! The food is always hot & fresh. Lives up to expectations but the customer service is what really stands out for me. Keep Doing Whatcha Doing Mike! 10-19-2023 read more

Chicken is good. Tough batter, kinda gross to me, and chicken was dry. Ordered plain fries and truffle fries. Truffle fries came out piping hot, plain fries not too hot. Needed salt and pepper, nobody around to bring it over. Five piece chicken / thighs and drumsticks, is a lot of food. Enough to feed three people. Suppose with a cheap price tag, you should set expectations accordingly. Server also didn't give me back my credit card, insisted he put it back in the check folio. He didn't. Someone from behind counter came and gave it back to me. Wouldn't go back, personally, and it's not close to where I live. If I lived closer, I might try something other than the fried chicken. read more

Mad For Chicken Plainview - Crispy Chicken Bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plainview, New York

I love Fried Chicken. I started going to the original Mad for Chicken in Flushing about 10 years ago. The Plainview location does not disappoint. When hot and right out of the kitchen, there is no better chicken (with all due respect to Jollibee which is the gold standard for fast food chicken). When it cools down, it is still CRISPY!! This is the artistry in the process. You have a choice of 2 traditional sauces..soy garlic and spicy. The spicy is great but it does pack some delicious heat. The cubed pickled daikon radish is the perfect palette cleanse. Cold , sweet, and crunchy. The selection of Soju and Beers on tap is vast (try the Catskill Pilsner..trust me). The staff could not be more accommodating. This falls into my gold standard category. read more

Mad For Chicken Plainview - Large drums and Wings & Drumsticks Combo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Plainview, New York

I have been here a few times and each meal I've gotten has been incredible; from the dumplings to the wings to the drumsticks to the japchae. The rice bowls are so filling and delicious. I can't say enough great things about the food. The drinks there are amazing as well, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. My favorite is the lychee soda. Recently, we had a birthday celebration for 25 people and Mike, the owner, set me up with a private room in the back and it was one of the most stress free parties I've ever had to plan. Mike, Sarah and their staff were on top of everything. Kept me in the loop step by step throughout the night and helped make it a perfect night. They were great to work with and can't say enough great things about them. I highly recommend Mad for Chicken for a casual night out or for a private party. *This is NOT paid advertisement read more

Great food, interesting menu, nice size bar, good portions and fair price. Personable staff. Left with left overs. Will visit again.

We were here recently for a political event, which they generously provided a meeting room for. Upon walking in, we were immediately greeted by Mike, the owner. We chatted with him while looking over the menu, and I was impressed with the pride he took in his restaurant. We had been using the Mad for Chicken in Bayside, so we were familiar with the basic idea. The food and drinks came quickly, and service was always attentive. We have several doctors in Plainview, so we are happy to know about this excellent spot nearby. read more

Finally, a Mad for Chicken closer to home I used to visit the locations on Bell Boulevard and Northern Boulevard, but I'm so glad they opened one in Plainview. It is much more convenient for me now. Some people say the flavor is not exactly the same as the other spots, but honestly, this is double fried chicken. It is crispy, flavorful, and always delicious even if there are slight variations. The garlic/hot mix wings are my usual order. The taste and texture are amazing every time. I usually skip the drumsticks since they are really filling, but they are actually pretty great when I do get them. The chicken takes a little longer to come out but that is probably because it is fried twice to get that perfect crunch. I also tried the nachos and was really impressed by how loaded they were. They pack a ton of toppings on them and it really makes this place stand out. The beer selection is excellent too. Plenty of great options that go well with the food. The atmosphere is very nice and it is a great place to hang out or grab a meal with friends. I really enjoyed my visit and I am glad this location is nearby. read more

Can I say wow!! First of all the ambiance inside is nice a roomy and the service is great. They are attentive and welcoming from the beginning. We ordered the Japchae, Tteok-Bokki and Soy Garlic 3 piece Korean fried chicken. Everything was FRESH! The rice cakes were tender and the dish was flavorful with the sauce and pieces of fish cakes. The soy garlic chicken was CRISP and flavorful on the outside- only criticism is it lacked flavor on the inside. Nonetheless the chicken was moist! The STAR of the show was the JAPCHAE! So FLAVORFUL from beginning to end. It was unanimous. The bulgogi beef was so well seasoned and in general it was such a delight to eat the japchae. No noodle was left behind! Will definitely be back to dig in to some more menu items. read more

Astounded by how crispy all of the chicken and fries came from takeout. The sauces on the dumplings and chicken were flavorful, and the bulgogi bowl was the perfect warm treat on a cool fall night. Since my dad brought home the food I can't speak to the service or ambiance, but I can only imagine how much love must be in both by the amount of love in the food alone. Absolutely would try this spot again. In love. read more

Even though this restaurant is a very short drive it has taken me a very long time to finally visit. Let's start with the ambiance, it's very pleasant and has a nice vibe to it. Pretty full on a Saturday night. Staff seem very friendly even though I only did take out. Food breakdown: Kimchi fries - a surprising amount of kimchi loaded on top of very crispy fries. And I mean I drove home with these things and they were still crispy! Now the spicy mayo that comes with them really just pushes it over the edge. Get extra. Bulgogi bowl - nicely layered with meat, rice, noodles and lettuce, though the meat didn't have that intense flavor I was hoping for and very little amount of sauce was in the bowl. Maybe an extra side of sauce would have helped and a bit more salt on the meat (hence why 4 stars out of 5) Budae jigae - yea can't pronounce that but just woah. A tub of ramen with rice cakes, various meats, kimchi and a delicious spicy broth. This was the highlight. Yes it's pretty much the single most expensive item on their menu that's not a combo but oh so worth it. A culinary delight. read more

So I was working at a building project in Plainview, and staying at the Holiday Inn. I asked the front desk if there was any restaurants they suggest. Of course they recommended Bistro 495 (their own restaurant on property). So I Google mapped restaurants, and a lot of pho, places popped up, Chinese take out, and then "Mad for Chicken" caught my eye. Korean style fried chicken. That's where I'm going!!! So we pull up my son and I and we walk in. Radio is blasting. It was a little empty just one table with like 4 people. So we sit down, looking at the menu. Waitress puts a bowl of popcorn on the table. I try it... it's not just any popcorn, it's seasoned popcorn. It was actually pretty good!!! I take about 5 minutes trying to figure out what seasoning they put on this popcorn. The waitress comes back to take our order and she says it's curry. Hmmm. Everything about that seems a little weird, but it works. So I see this drink menu, Boba tea, slushy, milk shake for only $6. With two choices of either Boba, popping boba, or jelly. I get the watermelon slushy with boba pearls, and jelly. My son gets the Lychee milk shake with boba and jelly. It was really good, problem I had was the pearl boba was a little undercooked so it was a little hard, not soft and chewy like it usually should be. Still good though. I order the soy sauce garlic chicken drum sticks and wings combo- half and half. Half spicy and half mild. I also order the beef chili fries. My son orders the kimchi chicken sandwich with Parmesan truffle fries. The order comes out and the chicken looks amazing. I take a bite out of one of the drumsticks and it is crispy, and I mean super crispy. And it has juices running down my beard. What a wonderful first bite!!! Not only was this drumstick over sized, (guess I'm used to the little drumsticks that Popeye's and KFC serves) but it was crispy and juicy. And the sauce was really tasty as well. My son says the Kimchi chicken sandwich was really good too. I try some of his truffle fries. That was super good!!! And when the beef chili fries come out, it was also very tasty as well. We both wasn't able to finish all our food, and that's saying something, cause my son and I can eat. But all in all what a great place to eat. If you're in the Plainview area, I highly recommend this place. Really good food. I'll be working down there next week again. Who knows... I just might have to stop on by. read more

So glad I came to try this spot! I heard about Mad for Chicken in Flushing, and I've been wanting to try it for a while now! I got their signature combo of wings and drumsticks, half regular and half spicy. The size of the wings and drum sticks were huge compared to other fried chicken places I've been to. The skin was super crunchy and the sauce was so delicious. Not too fatty which I appreciate! I definitely prefer the spicy over the regular soy. However, with all Korean fried chicken places, the chicken itself had absolutely no flavor. I don't believe they marinate it in anything, because without the skin, it's truly tasteless. It's still good nonetheless, but would be 10x better if they marinated or seasoned the chicken beforehand too. I also got the Parmesan truffle fries which were so good and addicting! I could eat those for days! The spicy chicken sandwich was pretty decent as well, but it was more of a sweet BBQ sauce rather than a spicy sauce. I'll definitely come back when I'm having a craving for Korean fried chicken! Hopefully they open up their indoor dining soon! read more

Came back to try out their full menu and the food tastes even better than advertised ! We tried their Mad For Chicken drums & wings combo (both spicy/regular), parmesan truffle tries, kimchi quesadilla, and their kimchi fried rice. The chicken which is definitely the star came out incredibly crispy & flavorful and all the other sides tasted incredibly authentic. I love how their diverse menu (ranging from burgers, fries, quesadillas, chicken wings and so many other classics that everyone is familiar with) allows for people who've never tried Korean cuisines/flavors the chance to be introduced to a Korean spin of those foods in an approachable and tasty way. All the servers were incredibly attentive and kind, making sure we had everything we needed and the owner, Mike, even took time to personally explain the unique selections of Soju they carry. I highly recommend checking this spot out as it's hands down the best spot to try authentic Korean fried chicken on Long Island whether it's for dine in or takeout. read more

This review is for pick up and delivery only. The dining area is super spacious, and they have a bar as well. I'll dine in one day soon. Anyway, onto the food: I am obsessed with their soy garlic/ spicy wings and drumsticks combo. So perfectly made . Crispy skin on the outside yet super juicy and tender on the inside. Crabmeat salad w parmesean cheese and cherry tomatoes are also a hit. I love the dressing it comes with - vinegrette, I believe. Can't forget about their japchae (glass noodles w bulgolgi and some veggies) Kimchi fries are the bomb. You would think they would get soggy, but 20mins drive, and they're still crispy. My kids like their soy garlic tenders. The minus one star is because their sandwiches - the spicy crispy sandwich and the bbq crispy sandwich... it's like 75% meat and 25% dough. But that won't deter me from continuing to order from here. What can I say? I'm addicted to you, MFC. read more

Decided to take the girls here for lunch since I've been to both the Bayside & Flushing locations, and the food was pretty good. We got the just fries, chicken tortilla soup and soy garlic wings as well as the parmesan truffle fries & tteok-bokki (rice cake) to go. The restaurant itself looked really nice, rustic, (loved the open "garage door") and had a great vibe. Service was friendly & attentive, but the food wasn't as good as I expected. The just fries were just okay, popcorn had some burnt pieces in it and they didn't add Old Bay Seasoning like the other loc. The best thing was probably the tortilla soup with shredded chicken, which was tasty. The wings were crispy but bland, had too much batter and didn't have enough soy garlic taste. Not to mention, the rice cake- $13 for a pint of mostly vegetables with only like 5-6 pcs of rice cake & 2 pcs of fish cake. The truffle fries had too much parmesan- I didn't taste any truffle at all, should just call it parmesan fries. Overall, it was a disappointing experience :( read more

Finally! They offer eat in and not only take out and I've been waiting for this moment for so long. It has been years since I've last had Mad for Chicken so the joy when I realized they finally opened one out here, it was news to my ears. Fast forward a few months and we finally had a chance to eat and it was as good as I remembered. The chicken was crispy as can be, juicy in the middle, and the flavor was amazing. An extensive menu that I can't wait to come back and try more and bonus - they have food for the kids. What more could I ask for? For anyone new to korean friend chicken - be prepared to wait 15 min for your food. It takes a while to get the goodness, but it'll be worth the wait. Great service, came for lunch and it was quiet, so our food came quick. Can't wait to come back, hope they stay this great. read more
