    Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Beanca L.

    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

    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!

    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.

    You're not paying for presentation, you're paying for FLAVOR.  Medium spice with extra pickle here.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Fried Chicken Sandwich ($13.50)
    Regina L.

    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!

    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.

    They are located In the Ginger Beer spot! We walked around the whole building trying to find this place. The fries were perfectly seasoned. I would definitely recommend the spicy honey mustard. I got a medium level spicy. it was perfect. My friend got the hot (habanero) and he looked like he was hurtin.

Got the half spicy half normal and dusting of spice was perfect. The fact that this is gluten free (which is fantastic for all GF folks in our family) is even more Amazing how they got everything right with the crunch and flavor. Potato skins and garlic rice were good too, though less garlic would have been better. Could easily make this into a garlic egg fried rice and larger portions. The staff were super attentive and took time to explain everything to first time visitors. Steady stream of take out orders as seating is limited. Would come back to try the other sides too. Happy to report no reaction for gluten free member of our family, top marks for safety.

    Cookie's never, ever wants you to leave hungry. The short review: They succeed…read more First, their chicken is always good. Of course it has to be, but it is. Simple as. I've had sandwiches, bowls, tenders, thighs and drums. They're all good. The sandwiches are the high point in my opinion - particular shoutout to the Slawsome and Hot Honey. They're big and messy but tasty. Can't go wrong with them, and I frequently can't help but order one. The bowls are powerful. I've had both kinds on different trips and they're hard to do in a single sitting, whereas sandwich + side is not. Just be warned. The sides are straightforward - what you see is what you get. They tend to be a little more basic, or classic if you will, than the sandwiches. I like this, since they serve as a side/counterpoint. We tend to get the slaw and pot of gold. The fries are the battered style which are very good and combo well with the rest of the menu. Takeout times tend to be accurate and the staff have been working hard but helpful every time we stop in. Most importantly they've been consistently good every time we go - and often during peak busy times, so that speaks well of their kitchen staff. Top marks all around. The move to the new spot didn't slow them down a bit, so make sure you check the address before going if you haven't been in a few months.

    I was introduced to Cookie's at Ravenna Brewing, when they were doing pop ups. My husband and I…read morewere a fan, so we knew we had to get to the brick and mortar. We had visited the Ballard location before they had moved to their new home. Stopped by the new location a few weeks ago. The new location is definitely in the sketchy part of Ballard, but it was nice to have a designated parking lot, rather than trying to find a street spot at the old location! My husband and I both ordered 3 tendies, in cayenne heat (level 2 spicy). Didn't seem spicy enough for my liking, so next time I am going to try the level 3! The chicken is delicious! It's crispy, juicy and flavorful. They offer a lot of sauces to choose from too. Although if you ask me, if you order any spicy level, the chicken doesn't need it! My husband is a dipper though and he likes his sauce. His fave is the Honey Mustard. (I opted for a garlic aioli. I love garlic but it was a little much). Since I was feeling like a comfort side, I selected the potatoes and gravy. (I have also had the fries and the macaroni and cheese). They have a good selection of sides. We love Cookie's chicken!

She is also excited as she was telling me she used to go there often when she lived at California. My boyfriend and I decided to get it a try after my shift as we were pretty hungry. They have a super affordable meal deal on the app and their combos are also affordable. We ordered on a kiosk but you could order through a cashier if you wanted. I went with their bowl combo while my boyfriend got their tacos combo as well as an order of their chicken tortilla soup and a free chicken avocado taco. I tried to order on their app but not sure if there was just an error but they were also extremely busy from when we arrived and it did take some time to receive our food. Despite how busy the employees were, they never forgot to be courteous and kept a positive attitude. Also, on the app, they don't have horchata but next to the fountain drinks, there is a horchata dispenser. The horchata is very refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness for me. When we did receive our food, it smelled amazing. My avocado chicken taco was on the colder side but not sure if that is how it is supposed to come out like that or hotter. It was still good though! The soup was comforting and absolutely my favorite and the craziest thing is I don't care for Applebee's chicken tortilla soup this was way better in terms of flavor, presentation and quality. My boyfriend really loved his tacos and I loved my bowl, I could barely eat half of it because it was stuffed! We did ask for all three salsas but when we asked for more, they gave us the same one so not sure if they ran out or just so busy that they just gave us whatever. There are plenty of tables to sit on your own or with others, we noticed there were a lot of families gathered and enjoying the family meal. It is also sweet that they offer paper plates for that meal too. Overall, it was a great first impression and we will definitely be ordering from here again!
