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

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

Dined here for an early dinner in forest hills. Off the bat this is a huge establishment with plenty of seating available. My friend and I ordered the kimchi fries and the fried chicken and quesadilla as well as a bottle of soju and lychee cocktails. I think next time I would opt for regular fries as I found the kimchi fries to have way too many onions for my preference. The fried chicken was super crispy and hot I just wish there were more pickled radishes. The drinks were really good and I could see myself coming back here. The service was really good too! read more

Mad For Chicken - Fried chicken Kimchi fries - Korean Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Came here for happy hour with friends. Feel like this is a very cool spot that forest hills needed. The service here is hit or miss. Stood there for ten minutes waiting to be seated and no one helped me so I sat myself and then someone tried to stop me. Then the server never came and I had to constantly flag him down. Eventually tho, the servers switched and our second one was much more helpful and nice. The drink and food deals are very good and the chicken is moist and delicious. Overall a great spot if you can make it for one of their lunch or happy hour deals! read more

Korean fried chicken is sooooo friggin good especially their iconic soy garlic flavor. Overall menu is a bit pricier than other fried chicken joints however it's truly worth the he extra few $$$ Other items on their menu include various sandwiches, salads, bowls and array of sides but star of the show is simply chicken. I personally love the Radish, sweet and vinegary compliment the chicken perfectly. Great food, great service and great music. I'm sold. read more

I'd rate Mad for Chicken four and a half stars. Great NYC based Korean fried chicken chain. I had a plate with two drumsticks, a boneless thigh, and fries. I had the spicy soy garlic sauce. Spice level was medium. Great flavor. Breading was thin and ultra crispy. Meat was juicy. I was delightfully surprised with how good it was. I'm not usually a patron for chains and would definitely return. Solid variety of beers. Lots of communal style seating making it good for groups. There were two gender neutral restrooms. I believe they were handicap accessible. Service was very quick and accommodating. read more

We went on a Monday night. Only few customers present. We ordered truffle fries to share then the half and half chicken tenders. The food was good but the tenders took so long to come out that we got full from finishing the fries and just took the tenders to go. Service was not impressive. Our waiter was nice but only showed up to give us the food. Otherwise nowhere to be found read more

Service was terrible. Waited over 30 minutes to place our order and nobody was apologetic. The food was also terrible especially my baby's Mac and cheese which he did not eat. If there's a shift change, they should not sit people until it's over. Simply terrible. read more

Came on a Saturday night and got seated quickly. The restaurant is pretty big and there's bar seating too, which is nice. The food took a while to come out and it wasn't because we were a big party because we watched other big groups get their food before us. The chicken was good and the portions are generous. We got half soy garlic half spicy soy garlic. The spicy flavor was good - a little too spicy for me but I'm a bit of a wimp :( I recommend getting a side to balance things because the chicken gets a bit heavy after a few pieces.

Once again a 5 star experience at Mad for Chicken forest hills. They just updated the menu with lots of fun appetizers and bowls, as well as more sauces! We couldn't stray away from our beloved spicy soy garlic. As always, wings were huge, crispy, and even more spicy this time We tried the new kielbasa bite app-- perfect way to stave off the hunger while waiting for the fresh chicken. Service was super duper attentive and kind. Definitely my favorite location. read more

Came back to give this place another try. Food was good, service still not great. We came for indoor dining for Saturday lunch. Place: - It feels dimly lit. There is along table and bench in the middle, between some tables and the bar. You can end up sharing a table with some ppl, but would be great if you were coming with a big party. Service: - It felt like they actively avoided eye contact. The food came in a good amount of time, but the servers literally just come and go with food. Food: - Parm and truffle fries - yum. Crispy and flavorful - Korean Fried Chicken - soy garlic - delicious read more

Placed an order via Grub Hub at 6:46PM. Order #: 24032773-3772256 Total was $65.73 It was delivered by 7:33PM. Upon receipt of order, Chicken was cold! Mac & Cheese was Cold! Unacceptable!

I usually just get the regular wings, but for lunch today we decided to get the boneless wings and BBQ chicken sandwich. The boneless wings are delicious, great crispy skin, juicy chicken, excellent soy garlic sauce, but I still prefer the regular wings. The BBQ chicken sandwich is pretty much the boneless chicken breast, with a slaw, between a nicely toasted bun. Delicious combination, well executed. Service is always spot on. Seating is comfortable. read more

Came here for lunch with my daughter a few times. The interior is spacious and nice. They even have picnic tables in the middle of the seating. The server promptly came over to say hello and offer us our waters and menus. They have lunch specials which have to be eaten in dining only (no takeout). The wings are huge, we ordered the kimchi bowl and since i don't eat pork anymore i replaced that for an extra egg and added bulgogi beef to the dish. The clam chowder was ok but that's to be expected getting a north eastern seafood chowder from a spot like this. The frozen lycheeade (nonalcoholic) is also delicious. I 100% recommended. It's a favorite to go to when i. The area. So clean so fresh so yummy ! read more

this has been the one place that I frequent often in forest hills! from the appetizers to the entrees, everything was perfection! I think I literally tried everything on their menu except the soups so far! the fries and dumplings are so crispy! definitely recommend the kimchi fries as well! for the chicken, they have soy garlic and spicy soy garlic as their flavors. although the wait is a bit long, it is definitely worth it!! that's how you know it's fresh and it maintains it's quality ! especially with the first bite, you can already feel how crispy it is. some chicken shops I've visited often has a soggy texture but mfc do be hitting different! they have two rice dishes and both are amazing ! the kimchi fried rice and the bulgogi rice is so comforting !! the bulgogi even comes in a sandwich form too!! i must be addicted to this place because I even tried their salads and omg, you would expect a chicken shop to only specialize in chicken but EVEN THE SALADS WERE ON PARR !! the service here is amazing as well. all the servers are so kind and attentive. im quite a parched person and drink water a lot but they refilled my cup countless of times and even checked up on how the food was. overall, it was an immaculate experience and I will be backkkk read more

We were super excited when we heard Mad For Chicken opened up a new location in our neighborhood Forest Hills. We finally got a chance to give it a try. We did a delivery order via Ubereats and the process went well and arrived earlier than expected. We had their Parmesan Fries, Crabmeat Salad and Wings & Drumsticks Combo with extra Radish to share with a group of four. The portion was enough with reasonable price. The food was overall decent especially the fried chicken, appetizing with their signature sauce. However, the options were limited on their menu and we hope they will serve more varieties shortly. read more

My favorite go-to spot with my coworkers friends. We go there once in every other months or so. We love the vibe here. The servers are very attentive and the restaurant is clean. Although it is quite small compare to Northern Blvd location, it is still great spot. They have the same menu and drinks S other locations. The tastes are perfect. The chickens are always crispy and moist. MFC never disappoint me every time I go there. read more

Terrible! While the food was delicious, my husband and daughter NEVER RECEIVED THEIR ORDER. That's right, I was delivered my own meal in front of my child. Not so much as an apology or explanation, and after 5 full minutes my husband finally said "go ahead and eat, honey, it's going to get cold." The server asked how my sandwich was, and I told her good. She didn't even apologize for the tardy meals of my husband and daughter. I then finished my meal. COMPLETELY finished my meal. Then finished my beer. Asked where my husband and daughters meal was. We were told "the kitchen is backed up." Watched tables around us get their meals just fine. Finished my soda. Cancelled my daughter and husbands meal. Finally got a half-hearted apology. Asked to speak to a manager. The manager COULDN'T HAVE CARED LESS. NEVER going back. I'm appalled at the way my family was treated this evening. That's what we get for trying a restaurant we've never been to before. read more

Service is prompt. Food is yum. I especially like the drumsticks, & thighs combo. The spicy option isn't overpowering. Dining area is spacious. I prefer coming at ~5p, to avoid the crowds, & noise. read more

I've seen this spot a few times, but I finally had time to eat there. I had previously read some reviews for their other locations, which were mostly mixed. However, the chicken at this location definitely hit! I got the small signature combo, which comes with 3 drumsticks and 5 wings. I opted for half soy garlic and half spicy soy garlic. For me, the spicy soy garlic was better. Though, be weary if you're sensitive to hot foods because the spicy soy garlic packs a punch. The prices are definitely reasonable at this spot. MFC is great for groups since they have large communal tables and large-format drinks to share. The service could have been a little better at the bar as it seems like after approaching you twice they forget about you to an extent. The complementary curry popcorn that they give you at the bar is quite tasty!! They should definitely sell that as a standalone dish. read more

M.F.C you finally made your way to my side of the town. Thank you kindly for finally showing up! This certainly saves me a trip to Northern Blvd and resorting to Downtown Flushing, The COOP to satisfy my hunny's K.F.C craving. We're huge fans of wangs and thangs especially the K.F.C kind. I had no idea they were open because from the pictures posted it still looks like they're doing renovations. Don't fret you can still have your food delivered. If this is your first time trying Mad For Chicken be sure to get the Large - Soy Garlic Wings, Spicy Garlic or Half & Half (be forewarned Spicy Garlic is not your typical tangy hot, it's fiyah in your mouth blazing hot), Parmesan Fries, Kimchi Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Corn Salad, Crabmeat Salad, Avocado Salad, and Kimchi Quesadilla. read more

MFC Forest hills is currently in soft opening & also in the process of acquiring their liquor license so no alcohol is allowed on the premises. FYI Food: I got the half & half dumplings and kimchi fries to start then the small soy garlic spicy wings. WHOA. SO GOOD. I've been to 3 MFC locations ( northern blvd, bayside & here) this 1 has quickly become my fave! The dumplings were crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside. The flavor on the wings were phenomenal! So mouth watering good Service: the bartender Mario took care of my table and he was so polite & informative. He made sure we knew they had fun Capri sun pouches & he checked in on my table through out the entirety of my time at this location Ambiance: LOVED the music, every single song. Can't beat good food, good vibes & good company! Definitely looking forward to them getting their liquor license & also definitely counting down the days until my next meal here! Price breakdown: dumplings $9, kimchi fries approx $14 & small order of wings (10 pc) approx $16. Totally worth it! read more

The first time I had Mad for Chicken was on Northern Blvd years ago and am so thrilled they opened a location in Forest Hills. It's close enough to the train station and located where a lot of the dining spots are on Austin Street. We called in our order on a Saturday early evening. Got there around 5PM and there were quite a number of people waiting outside! People tried to social distance where they can. It smells divine as you near the restaurant. Hubby went in to get the order and they brought it out from the back of the restaurant. Masks were worn by staff. Food comes in cute boxes. The boxes have some ventilation areas so that the chicken maintains its crunchiness. The shopping bag it comes with is superrr nice considering it's a food takeout order. Very reusable! Ha! Spicy soy garlic wings and drumsticks - hubby can handle a lot of spice and said this was okay, not too hot for him. I, on the otherhand, can handle limited amount of spice and this did a number on me. Tip of the tongue was on fire but still ate through a few wings. The flavor is so good - slightly sticky wing oozing heat and sweetness. Size of the wing and drumstick is decent. Good amount of meat. Soy garlic wings - the original wings with this sauce is what I came here for and it didn't disappoint. I was ooh'ing and ahh'ing through the entire meal. I'm sure my kids think I'm crazy. Great flavor! The sweetness and garlic taste really come through. Overall, just such a pleasant meal. True definition of finger-licking good. They gave two small containers of pickled daikon (raddish) which I love. It helped cleanse my pallet and soothe that heat on my tongue. I like eating it super cold so tuck it in the fridge before whipping it out. Ordering ahead of time for takeout is your best option as it takes some time for them to make the wings. It's best when super fresh as the crunch and flavor is lovely but takeout is just as good at room temperature. Granted, you can heat it up but be cautious as it can burn quickly. Still tastes great. Considering they opened during COVID times is pretty brave and hope this place sticks around. Their wings make me happy so I'll definitely be back. read more

This review is for take out. I have to say I was worried. New location, COVID times, take out only right now. I was worried that it just wouldn't live up to what MFC could be.

So glad to have this within walking distance now. read more

The wings were really good though the wait was longer than expected - ordered takeout after 9pm and there's a 30-minute wait. I heard that prices for wings have gone up and many places have raised their prices. I'm not sure if it's the case here, the price for 10 wings is $15, 20 wings is $28 as of August 2021. read more

I love this area, so many things to do and this restaurant is one of them! The Korean fried chicken is totally delicious. Only thing is; if you like tiny, crispy wings, like me, you'll find these to be on the bigger side. Next time I'll order boneless. They also have a full bar which I like. I think this spot is great for large groups and after work chill-outs. It's pretty loud and had large screen tvs. Kid friendly of course because I dine everywhere with my toddler.

About to order some soy garlic, wings and spicy, soy garlic wings with radish for the Buffalo Bills game. Let's go bills. !!!!

We went to MFC a few weeks ago and had a really good experience. We had to find street parking nearby but if you check in on Yelp you can redeem a free lychee soju shot! We ordered: * 2 x Happy Hour wings (4 pieces per order) ($10) * Drumsticks and Thighs, 5 pieces ($14.95) * Parmesan Truffle Fries ($11) * Mac & Melted Cheese ($12) with added Bulgogi for $3 ($15) Everything for $55.47, which was surprisingly not bad for the amount of food we ordered. Happy Hour wings are a great value and you can still choose what kind of sauce you want. We chose half and half for all our chicken but wished we just stuck with all soy garlic. Parmesan Truffle Fries and the Mac & Melted Cheese helped pass the time while we waited for our chicken. Fries were fried to perfection and addicting, while the Mac and melted cheese was very decadent with their bechamel sauce. I would recommend adding bulgogi to help cut the richness of the dish. As for the chicken, I was surprised by the candy-like exterior coating followed by an epic crunch and juicy meat. We were very happy to see our Drumsticks & Thighs are dark meat too. It's not the best KFC we've ever had but for the price and value it's very affordable. I'd love to return back to try more items on the menu and their drinks. read more

Mad For Chicken - What is this? - Korean Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Ordered for pickup - an order of small Soy Garlic wings and an order of parmesan fries. The Soy Garlic wings had a nice crispy layer of batter. The chicken was juicy and tender. Each piece of chicken was uniformly sized. I would definitely get this again. The parmesan fries was so so, it wasn't crispy enough even right out of the kitchen. The parmesan flavor was very light, but was abundance of potatos. Servers and cashier were friendly, and the actually restaurant was large and comfortable. I would come back to dine in next time. read more

Somebody told me they were similar to Bon Chon and they just happen to be down the street where I was at so off I went. Ordered the Parmesan Truffle Fries and a Small(10 piece) wings. The Parmesan Truffle Fries($11) is topped with truffle oil, garlic, chopped parsely, parmesan cheese, and is served with spicy mayo and ketchup. This was just ok. When it came out it was lukewarm, like it was sitting for awhile and they forgot to bring it out right away. Flavor wise it was lacking. You would think with the above mentioned ingredients that it would be mouth wateringly good but no. I barely tasted any garlic and the fries themselves seemed a bit soggy. I only ate like a quarter of this dish. The Small 10 piece wings($15.95) comes in your flavor choice of soy garlic or spicy soy garlic. Wanted to try both so I got half n half. These wings could have been made better. The breading was not consistent and the texture is supposed to be crispy all around but not in this case. If I had to choose between the two flavors it would be the spicy soy garlic. Really not that spicy but with a little kick. Service was just ok. It seemed that after you get your food, they don't check up on you any more unless you flag them down. Overall, I was not impressed. Bon Chon is way better in my opinion. If I do eat here again I will order other things and hopefully those will be much better. Yelp 2022 Review #21 "I was mad that it wasn't that good" 872 overall read more

Family meal can only be ordered on their website. I ended up showing up in person and then ordering in the app/website on my phone while sitting on the bench. Isn't that silly? The family meal consisted of 10 wings and five drumsticks along with an appetizer and two sides. I ordered the rice cakes with a side of kimchi and corn salad . 20 minutes later, everything was fine and I brought the order home. When I opened up the box of chicken, I ended up with 20 wings instead of 10 wings and five drumsticks . The entire family agreed that the chicken was on point. The rice cakes (tteok-Bokki) had too much vegetables and not enough rice cake. The kimchi was chopped up, but taste good. The corn salad tasted like corn with coleslaw. read more
