I went to Mad for Chicken today with one other person, which was a Wednesday around 6:30pm. There…read morewere 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!

Cuisine: 6 Service: 6…read moreDecor: 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.

Great value too (for $50 you can get a family combo that includes a variety of sandwiches, wraps, wings, A WHOLE CHICKEN, fries, nuggets, cheese sticks, and a large soda!). Aside from the soft drinks, they also serve hot/iced espresso and coffee. Seriously, don't sleep on the espresso drinks... you can save a few "bucks" by coming here instead and supporting this small business (hehe, see what I did there?). Clean indoor seating is available (small tables that fit about 4 adults). The girl at the counter is always super sweet. She kindly covered the coffee sipper with a sticker that had a sweet note on it. )This Americano will help me through the rest of my hospital shift!) I will continually return!

My toddler likes her a lot and wants to play with her and visit every so often. The food across the board is delicious. I have pretty much tried everything here except a few of the appetizers and the pistol legs. The only item that I don't particularly like is the pumpkin pie, while it's tasty and has a nice texture I don't really taste any pumpkin. I hope this place stays open would really be a good staple and some added variety to the restaurants available in the few blocks of stores located in this section of 108 street.

The portions of our chicken over rice were too large to finish. Although the decor is simple, the restaurant was light and never seemed cramped. It's the kind of place I'd like to go back to regularly.

Cuisine: 9 Service: 8…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 9 Overall: 9 Just a really solid local bar to enjoy some good food while watching a game. When they first remodeled from a specialty sandwich shop to a craft beer pub, I was quite disappointed. Now I can't get my favorite chopped cheese or sriracha egg sandwich in the neighborhood anymore. However, I come to realize that having a dependable spot for an excellent burger is a pretty nice too. They do a great classic smash burger with a crispy crust and juicy beef. The toppings are always fresh and the bread is extremely fluffy. While the brioche bun is delicious, I may have a slight preference for the sesame seed bun of the Stack Mac. You really can't go wrong with any of their burger offerings. Obviously, a pub needs some tasty fried foods to go with their nice selection of craft beers. Thankfully, they do. The tater tots and onion rings are both really fantastic. Only thing currently still needs a bit of work is their chicken wings. Not bad for roasted wings, but I wish they were fried. During playoff season, I have come watched games while enjoying their offerings. It's never too busy, which makes it perfect for me. This little craft bar is definitely a hidden gem and I'm happy by me.

We each ordered a draft beer (nice perk with $2 off during happy hour), along with the classic double smash, plus a side of fries and onion rings. The burger was quite greasy, but otherwise enjoyable. It had good flavor and nice crispy edges, though I wish there was more of the house burger sauce, I could barely taste it, and that's usually what gives a burger its signature. The fries and onion rings were both excellent, fried to a perfect crisp. Overall, I'd come back and try more items on the menu.

The calamari and fries were fried perfectly. Didnt feel greasy or soggy like most places. 5/5 would definitely order again with a group a friends. The korean fried chicken at this location is better than their sunnyside locstion and even mad for chicken. Quality here tastes better and cleaner than all other kfc places in the area(take out menu says customers can tour kitchen to check their cleanliness). This is my go-to korean fried chicken spot and I'm surprised it doesn't receive more business during the week. Parking might be slightly inconvenient, but usually I can find a spot relatively easily.

Marcus and Jordan were friendly and super helpful when it came to deciding what we ordered. The menu is extensive but we went with the oxtail Rasta pasta, plantain boats with oxtail and shrimp, and fried catfish. Everything was super flavorful. Even though the sauce on the Rasta pasta was delicious, the fish had the perfect amount of batter, and the plantain boats had just the right amount of sweetness, it's still difficult to decide which was my favorite! The place is small but the flavors and portions are big. There is limited seating available and seems like most people take their orders to go. I would definitely come back again and again next time I'm in the area!

There were only 2 people working when we walked in & a 3rd person walked in he greeted us with a smile & he was nice. We ordered fried fish oxtail Mac & cheese and lobster/shrimp Mac & cheese. The fish was good but not crispy like I would have liked. The Mac & cheeses were a disappointment. It wasn't Mac & cheese it was more oxtail macaroni NO cheese. I'm sure because of the consistency cheese was in there somewhere but it wasn't the Mac & cheese u would think u were about to eat. I didn't care for it. The lobster/shrimp was not good at all it seemed all the seasoning was on the top so we mixed it up to make sure & it got worse it was super salty shrimps were too small it just wasn't what we expected.

What a neighborhood GEM!! Kuku Korean was fantastic! Fresh, tasty food at reasonable prices!…read more We (6 of us) were in the neighborhood for a Valentine's Day celebration and searched Yelp for a good ethnic restaurant in the area. We came across Kuku Korean and said YESSS, this is the place to go! The only wrench in our plans was that Kuku Korean doesn't take reservations; not even on Valentine's Day! They warned us that they expected to be very busy that evening, and to expect a wait. Ok, we made plans to go, but also made a Resy with another restaurant close by, as a backup plan in case there was a long wait for a table. But really, Kuku Korean was our preferred first choice. After our V Day event, we rushed over to Kuku Korean to see what the wait time was for a table for 6. It was just after 6pm, and the stars were aligned for us, because we got the last large table available! Woo Hoooo! Happy Valentine's Day to us!! We quickly cancelled our Resy with the other restaurant (sorry!) and perused Kuku Korean's fabulous menu. Our MENU (shared by 6ppl): ~ Seafood Pajeon ($24/large): Crispy battered pancake made with green onions & seafood (mussels, clams, squid, and shrimp). This was phenomenal! So much seafood and such a comforting dish...get this! ~ Veg Japche ($21): Stir-fried Korean vermicelli with Kuku soy-garlic Japchae sauce and assorted veggies. This dish was also available with various proteins but we opted for Veg since we were ordering other meat dishes. This dish was so flavorful and delicious. ~ Kuku Bibimbap ($24): Seasoned vegetables over rice, topped with a fried egg. Served with Kuku spicy bibim sauce. Again, you have the option of adding protein to this dish but we kept it veg. Another great dish! ~ Pork Galbi ($28): Char-grilled Pork ribs marinated in Kuku sauce, served with sauteed onions. Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. The pork was cut in thick slices, which was surprising, but wow, this was phenomenal! So tasty and lean, and just delicious. ~ Beef Bulgogi ($33): Sauteed thinly sliced beef rib-eye marinated in Kuku sauce with mushroom, Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. Another phenomenal dish. Bursting with flavor. -- Spicy Squid ($28): Stir-fried squid in spicy Kuku gochujang sauce, onions, hot pepper and carrot. Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. This squid was prepared perfectly; not over cooked nor rubbery! Great dish. - Ban Chan: generous unlimited servings; fresh & delicious. These 6 dishes, plus Ban Chan was perfect for 6 ppl to share. We finished everything and were fully satisfied. Every single dish was delicious and we ALL said we wanted to return to Kuku Korean to repeat some dishes and try new dishes. Customer service and atmosphere were great. The busser staff did an amazing job and were even more attentive than our server (who we only saw twice)...kudos to the bussers! They were so hard working, with a smiling, friendly attitude! Give them a raise! Looking forward to a return visit to Kuku Korean...hopefully SOON!!

This place is extremely overpriced for no reason. We got the rosé tteokbokki and it was around $30…read more The base tteokbokki is around $19, if you want rosé flavor, its an extra $6 and we added on ramen which was an extra $3. Tteokbokki is considered street food and its literally rice & fish cakes. And they give you 3 pieces of ginmari. No reason it should be $19. Then for rosé flavor, which is literally just adding heavy cream to the sauce, is an extra $6. Then we ordered the 10 wing + 5 drumstick combo and we asked for half/half sauce assuming half of the 15 pieces are one sauce and the second half is another sauce. First off, they charge you $2 for sauce, which is fine but tell me why they charged us $2 FOUR times. So $8 total for sauce bc they separated the 10 wings into 5 and 5 and put one sauce each and they charged $2 each for that. And then they separated the 5 drumsticks into 3 and 2 and put one sauce each and charged $2 each for that. So total for 10 wings & 5 drumsticks was around $44. I've literally been to every korean fried chicken place on northern blvd and never have they separated the chicken like that and charged the sauces that way. Like why are you charging us for sauce 4 times when it is one single order of chicken. Never coming back here. Its a legit rip off. On top of that, they charge you for to-go containers, which is free at every restaurant. They just charge you exorbitant prices for literally every single thing here. We spent $85, not including tip, on tteokbokki, 15 pc of chicken & an order of fries.
