Simply the best chicken sandwich you can find in the PNW ... have to return offer. Great service and price.

My family and I visited from out of state and enjoyed this food a lot. We had the chicken sliders, chicken tenders, and the drumsticks and 2 orders of fries. When we first walked in we were a little confused because the outside says Rachel's ginger beer but we quickly identified that it's a shared space/same restaurant. No wait to order at the counter and fast to place the order. It is a little on the pricier side for just the sandwiches and the chicken and paying for fries and sauces separately. However, we ordered and once we received our food, it was fresh, hot, and tasty! The chicken 10/10 and the fries 10/10. The restaurant is darker insider with dark wallpaper and sphere lights with plenty of green plants inside and bar seating or smaller tables. The Amazon spheres a just across the way. Highly recommend but price wise it is a little high. read more

The medium-spiced chicken sliders were really good and the spicy honey mustard sauce was great too. My wife also really liked her potato-mac salad. read more

Excitedly tried this restaurant, located right across from the Amazon Spheres inside Rachel's ginger beer! The space is really nice, windows were all open because it was a nice day. You order on QR codes, and food came out really quickly! When we went, around 1:40 on a Thursday, they were out of the chicken tenders so we got sandwiches. I ordered it with medium spicy (the highest spice option that didn't cost extra money). We did have to ask the Rachel's employees for some water which they happily gave in glasses. The sandwich was really good! Nice mild spice, and overall really filling. The fries were also really good, crunchy and nicely seasoned, and they had ketchup on the side to help yourself. Overall decent sandwich and good chicken so I will be back! read more

Wow this is some of the best fried chicken I've had. I got the medium spicy chicken fingers and they are sooo well seasoned and definitely pack a kick! The picked daikon was a great addition, and the honey mustard is the perfect complement. For about $11 the portion is also really generous. I could only eat 2 and took the last one home. Would definitely be coming back! The store is located in Rachel's Ginger Beer (they don't have a big sign outside). You order at the counter and seat yourself. read more

Oh my goodness where do I start! This is the best chicken sandwich I have ever had in a long time! The service and vibe is right on. I have eaten here so many times and it's always the same and I like it that way! Oh and the potato mac salad is a absolute must it's so delicious it's my favorite with the sandwich. Please give them a try it's worth it. You will be happy you did! read more

Good chicken sandwich that I would want to eat again. It was big in size so I did not need a side.

We ordered takeout. Service was quick after placing the online order. The chicken sandwich was massive! It was seasoned so nicely and the radish was such a nice touch! The Kimchi Mac & Cheese was so good I started eating it in the car lol. It's creamy and very flavorful! I definitely would eat this again read more

SO GOOD. By no means is this a fancy dinner but it's so well executed. Interior is nice and cozy with ample seating. Service is at the counter and food came out fast. Came here for the hot chicken and ended up getting the tenders - the chicken is not dry and not overcoated in batter (yet it's so crispy). The medium spice was perfect - not too hot but you can still feel a slight burn. I'm kinda glad my friend talked me down from ordering the hot level since you could taste more of how good the chicken is, but I'm still curious and would go back to try. It comes with 1 sauce and I got the honey mustard whereas my friend got hawaiian bbq. I liked the honey mustard and would stick with it. The ginger beer slaaaaps. Spicy pineapple was the way to go (although it might not be for everyone because there's definitely a kick. If you like turmeric ginger shots, you'd probably like this. You can also get half flavors to mix. 5/5 easy rating for this place! read more

I came because of the high ratings, but honestly not seeing what is equating to these 4-5 star ratings? Don't get me wrong, it's good but it doesn't taste like anything too special. The chicken lacks seasoning on it's own, and seems to rely on the sauce (you can choose from a 5 options) and the pickled radishes. Because the chicken is pretty thick, whether you order the strips or the sandwich, I would think that there would higher consideration of seasoning/marinating but I feel that it's lacking. The fries were also just ok. Seems to be the same or similar seasoning as the chicken so the meal felt pretty one-dimensional. Despite the food being average, I love that it's connected to Rachel's Ginger Beer. I think it's a great pairing to have with Ma'ono's chicken dishes. There is also ample seating, with indoor and outdoor patio selection. read more

Absolutely love this place for fried chicken. The skin is so crispy and the meat is juicy, easily slides off the bones. The daikon pickles come with the order and adds a very nice touch. It is refreshing and cleans your flavor palette. I ordered the super spicy ones and it was not unbearably spicy. I would compare the spice level to that of Buldak noodles. read more

We made an excursion to Ma'ono Fried Chicken, seeking sustenance amidst the late hours of the day. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the cashier, who informed us that the selection was limited to chicken sandwiches. Undeterred, we pressed on, and were soon pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sandwiches received. These creations of fowl and bread were imbued with a medium spice, at our request, and even more enhanced by the additional pickles we had procured. In addition to the sustenance we were also offered a side of potatoes, fried to a golden crisp. While we did find the portion size rather modest, the flavor was well-balanced. Ma'ono Fried Chicken is housed within the walls of another establishment, selling the libations known as Rachel's Ginger Beer. We indulged in two such beverages, the White Peach and the Passion Fruit with Vanilla, both of which were found to be of exceptional quality. The staff at Ma'ono Fried Chicken was most accommodating; we found them to be a patient and helpful lot. We shall surely return to this establishment in the future, for their offerings of fowl and drink are not to be missed. read more

I learned through word of mouth that there's a fried chicken sandwich spot near my apartment. But I never saw it. Turns out, it's hidden inside a drink spot called Rachel's Ginger Beer. We only discovered it because nearby businesses pointed it out, and some of them didn't even know about it! Let me tell you, this place is great. Think thin, crispy, spicy crust on the chicken, soft and chewy bread, and perfectly crispy seasoned fries. It's the perfect combo. They've got beer and canned bubbly drinks, along with a variety of ginger cocktails. Overall, it's a great spot to have around, especially when the food trucks aren't around. It fills that fried chicken void in the city. Definitely worth checking out! read more

The spicy chicken sandwich from Wendy's (and Jack in the Box) is better than this. The broccoli salad and potato/macaroni salad I got on the side was old and rotten. It went straight into the trash. I do not understand the high reviews here read more

Excellent blend of flavors on the spicy chicken sandwich with the mayo and Dicon pickles! The potato Mac is solid, will definitely go back and try the other chicken options! read more

My friend misread the ferry sign, leading us to Seattle instead of Port Orchard. We decided to dine at a chicken place nearby. We all ordered chicken sandwiches and shared two orders of fries, which were plenty for the four of us. I opted for no daikon or veggies on mine, but the others enjoyed them. The menu is entirely à la carte. The chicken sandwiches were generously sized and juicy, though the breading on mine was oddly missing from the top. The fries were tasty but could use a bit more seasoning or salt. The ketchup tasted overly sour and vinegary, even though it was served in a Heinz container. Drinks were limited to ginger beer and water; I would have preferred a Coke. One of us tried the ginger beer and found it enjoyable. Despite the minor issues, I'd definitely return for the delicious chicken sandwiches. read more

Delicious food located in a fun little Spot, Rachel's Ginger Beer, that makes drinks using their house-made ginger ale. So good!! The Hawaiian style fried chicken sandwiches here were absolutely amazing. The fries were cooked to perfection too. Service is quick and friendly. Literally no complaints. Can't wait to come back ! read more

Ma'ono is located inside Rachel's Ginger Beer and you order from a little window. Their menu is simple (only 3 entrees to choose from) but delicious. I decided on the Fried Chicken Sandwich ($13.50) which is a large crispy breaded chicken breast served with pickled daikon, kewpie mayo and lettuce atop a soft Hawaiian bread roll. I added fries to my order for an additional $3.50 as well. I'm so used to hot chicken sandwiches coming with a standard cabbage slaw so it was interesting to see how Ma'ono actually serves their fried chicken sandwich with yellow pickled daikons, iceberg lettuce shreds and a generous spread of kewpie mayo. The food took awhile to come out, a bit over 20 minutes, which was the biggest disappointment in my opinion, but it was definitely a tasty sandwich. I really enjoyed their fries too which is sprinkled with what they call their "ono seasoning". $17 for a chicken sandwich and fries seemed a bit steep in my opinion for fast casual food, but still a yummy option if you find yourself in the mood for a fried chicken sandwich with a slightly Hawaiian twist! read more

Love their fried chicken sandwich - I get it more often than I should. If you order online around lunch time, it can get busy and someone might take your order on accident. So be sure to order extra spicy. But in seriousness, the staff's cool about it and will remake your order quickly. While I often grab a to-go and return to my office, it is a good place to catch up with people outside. read more

Felt pretty average for a chicken sandwich. You only order online here and then pick up your order on the counter. That process is simple enough, but you don't quite get to ask any questions or get an opinion if it's your first time. Chicken sandwich - the buns are softly toasted on the inside but the outside is definitely underwhelming. Can get a bit soggy, especially the bottom layer. The creamy mayo is pleasant, I opted for light mayo and felt like that was a wise choice in order to enjoy the other flavors including the chicken. Don't get the burger cut in half, I thought it'd be nice and sounded fancy but it ends up being more messy and troublesome. Each half of my burger had the chicken cut in half as well, not sure if intended, but I essentially had four quarter circle pieces that made up the burger and they loved to move around. Drumsticks weren't anything special. I enjoyed them but they weren't much different than other fried chicken places. Slightly different seasoning, sure, but the chicken and breading were very typical. Ginger was a nice addition, though. By no means a bad place, potentially an unlucky experience. Average experience with higher expectations. Experience may vary based on beverages--maybe stop by for some ginger beer while you're here anyway? That could've been my mistake, not choosing to merge the two. read more

My favorite chicken spot in Seattle so far! I've ordered a couple times from here, and each time has been incredible. Both times, I got the fried chicken sandwich and fries. The sandwich is SO good - the meat is juicy and tender, the sauce is tangy, and the seasoning is flavorful with a kick (but not spicy). I also love the pickles that come with - unlike regular pickles, they were a bit sweet and complemented the rest of the flavors really well. The fries were crispy on the outside yet soft on the inside, and they were seasoned to perfection. Not only did they have the right amount of salt, but they also had a slight kick to it that made them stand out and mesh with the sandwich well. I absolutely adore this spot and highly recommend it! read more

The basic idea of a chicken sandwich is living large here, with something that is so tasty, you would actually want to drive into "Amazon" land, and seek it out. Then after do you, you might decide you should get a job nearby, so you can seek this joint out on a regular basis. That's the store here, with a chicken sandwich that checks all the boxes that you would probably want. I always like to start with the chicken itself. It's of course all about the chicken, and it's fried to crunchy perfection. The crusty goodness that on the outside, gives your teeth a welcome "bite" as your tastebuds move into the chicken itself. The meaty and moist center demands your attention, as you pull your bite away from the rest of the prize. Sure the bread is a welcome holder of the meat, with pickles, lettuce, and a nice sauce.. it's simple, and full of joy. I think there are so many reasons to make a drive into town, most not good ones, but here's a wonderful reason to make the struggle, to order something that makes you "spark joy" and when all is said and done, you might wonder how you can make this food decision, a repeat offender. read more

There are a few places to get a high quality crispy chicken sandwich in Seattle. Ma'ono's is top tier. I highly recommend going to any location other than the South Lake Union location - their hours of operation never align with unexpected chicken-sandwich-urges. If the stars align, then by all means, go to the South Lake Union location. They all taste the same - heavenly. read more

Ma'ono Fried Chicken - Chicken Sandwich (not the best presentation, but it was a thiccc boy). - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have to say this place is pretty hard to find. Hear me out on this funny story. My buddy and I found this place on Yelp. Hit the GPS to take us to here. With all the high rise buildings around us, the GPS doesn't seem to locate very accurately. We got closed but no signs of Ma'ano. While searching for fried chicken places, I came across a place name Rachel's Ginger beer and they also have fried chicken burgers. So we couldn't find Ma'ono and decided to go to Rachel's. Ordered our chicken burgers and our ginger beers. The beers are spicy with a hint of fruit which I like. The fruit flavors mostly took over by the ginger. The burgers are crispy. We mild spice got some kicks if you like hot. Good balance with some sweet pickles in it. While we were enjoying the burgers, I was taking pictures of the place. When I was taking the picture of their glass door, I realized that Ma'ono and Rachel's are in the same place says on the door. I was so dumbfounded. That explains why we have to use to cash registers to checkout drinks and food separately. The place is wide opened to outside. It was a nice day for us to chill, listen to the music and people watching while enjoying the burgers. read more

One of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had since moving to the PacNW 13 years ago. I got the second spiciest (hot) and didn't think it was too spicy- my lips weren't numb. I was really intrigued by the potato Mac salad. It's exactly what it sounds like, potato salad with macaroni in it, but it was delicious! I will be going here again. read more

I used to love Ma'ono and constantly raved about it. Lately it's obvious they are using different chicken, less meat way more breading. But that's not even the reason for this negative review. I paid $17 for a chicken sandwich yesterday. Got home only to find out the bottom of the bun was COVERED in mold. Not a few specks. Thick layer of green mold. It's been 24 hours and it still makes me sick to think about it. Very disappointed in the reduction of quality. read more

Only disappointed because the hot was not actually spicy. It felt like a mild. But overall great sandwich. I also think it is a bit pricey. I would come back to get the "hottest" level to see if it is comparable read more

Even the heftiness of the price tag on the chicken sandwich wasn't enough to knock this down from a five-star rating. Ordered pick-up on a Sunday thinking the restaurant would be really busy. Was told the order of a sandwich and fries would be ready in 15, it was ready in 7. They've got indoor seating where they open up the windows to the outside, and have 6 tables outside that seat 2 people. Sandwich: this is the star of the show, absolutely get this. The flavor of the chicken is sophisticated and complex. It is crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I just wish it were cheaper! Fries: were pretty standard. They've got some nice spices on them too, albeit a bit much on some fries. I would highly recommend - their chicken is so good! read more

Located inside Rachel's Ginger Beer right across the Amazon Spheres. The menu is simple- 3 chicken drumsticks with some slices of Japanese pickled radish ($9), chicken fingers-3 good sized pieces and slices of Japanese pickles ($8), chicken sandwich and vegetarian sandwich. Choice of honey mustard, Hawaiian barbecue or ranch sauce. Also you can choose the level of spiciness from naked ( no spice) all the way to Hot Hot. The chicken was moist with a nice thin crispy crust. The seasoning was really flavorful. We also ordered the fries- nice and light, not greasy and side of potato Mac salad- just the right amount of mayo- real Hawaiian style. There's a QR code at the entrance to order contactless and then pick your order up on the counter (it's in alphabetical order by name) There was seating inside as well as enclosed outdoor seating with warm air being pumped inside to keep you nice and comfortable as you eat. We had to finish with a Dole whip- yum!! Really liked the chicken here, it was... well, ono! read more

This place brings me comfort! Ordered pick-up on a Friday evening thinking the restaurant would be really busy. Was told the order of a sandwich and fries would be ready in 15, it was ready in 7! They've got indoor seating where they open up the windows to the outside, and have 6 tables outside that seat 2 people. The place is a vibe for sure and right in the heart of downtown Seattle Sandwich: this is the star of the show, absolutely get this. The flavor of the chicken speak for itself. It is crispy on the outside and juicy inside. I just wish that I had known prior to ordering that the menu options are fried with pork fat (my fault, not theirs) Fries: were pretty standard. They've got some nice spices on them too, and they are probably my favorite fries in Seattle. I would highly recommend - their chicken is so good & fries! If it's worth mentioning again, they do fry all their food in pork fat, so make sure to ask for "not fried in pork fat" read more

This review is for the WEST SEATTLE MA'ONO pop-up take-out Placed online order for 4:15 yesterday. Arrived at 4:08, walked in and yelled hello. Two guys in the back yaking..then finally answered, "your order is for 4:15!" I said okay, left and was back at exactly 4:15. My ordered was on shelf. Two minutes later I'm pulling out COLD chicken sandwiches. Chicken meat was moist and delicious though the breading was a bit too overcooked. Our sides, Icebox Broccoli Salad was meh...Potato Mac Salad didn't taste like potato or mac, and the Mac and Kimcheese was HORRIBLE. Had a weird very strong onion taste. For a total of $52. So not worth it. I am sad I really wanted to like this take-out but I am so disappointed. Will not be going back. read more
