Nice clean place, except I was bombarded with TVs everywhere playing sports and news channel. This restaurant wants to be a mix between Canes and a Hot Wings place for sports fanatics. The chicken was better than Canes chicken, that's for sure. More tender and the sauces on them definitely added to the flavor. Except as a white guy, the hot tenders were spicy. They gave me fry sauce... I was expecting it to just be normal fry sauce, but I noticed jalapeño chunks in there which did not help me eat in the hot tenders. So it was a good place, just my issue was the spiciness of the fry sauce and the hot tenders read more

Another great meal at Mad for chicken Easy order at the counter - and they Bring your order to your table! Kim Chee fried rice - our 1st time trying it- I loved the spice level and fried egg. A little too spicy for hubby! We both love their chicken wings! I could eat a bucket load! Good crispiness and flavor! We keep on coming back for more - we love this place! read more

first visit to mad for chicken we got the kimchi fries & the spicy curry chicken rice bowl. super flavorful and i love the sweet kimchi on the fries (although i do wish there was fried chicken on top to bring it all together). this time we tried their wings and plain fries and they were delicious! wonderful crunch and flavor. we are considering having them cater for our wedding after having their food twice & i feel like that says a lot! one thing i will say is i wish they had a medium spice option for their wings; the mild is not spicy at all but the hot was almost too spicy for us lol but hey that's all personal preference. read more

Really great wings, everything else is so so. Have you ever gotten a basket of wings, and one is great, but the next one is overcooked, then the next one is dry, but then another too wet? Well, you won't have that problem here. The wings are pretty near perfect. Crunchy and juicy, and the hot one is addicting as hell. Also tried the kimchi fries, and they were just okay, the fries were crispy, but the kimchi was pretty bland. Same with the cheese toppoki, other places inside/near Chinatown are better. I'll definitely be back for the wings. read more

We tried Mad for Chicken and went with a half-and-half order of boneless and bone-in wings, both with their signature sauce. The flavor was solid sweet, savory, and definitely craveable though not the best chicken I've ever had. The radish and coleslaw were refreshing sides, and the bulgogi mac and cheese was a fun, rich twist that I'd order again. The atmosphere is lively and bar-forward, with a good beer selection that pairs well with the food. Overall, a good spot for casual vibes and tasty comfort food. Solid 4 stars from me. read more

This place was quite the surprise. The mac & cheese is incredible. Definitely not from a box. Delicious! And the chicken is fried it's so perfectly crispy, but the batter is so thin. I don't know how they do it. All the chicken was good white meat pieces no fat no tendons no gristle just good crispy chicken they've got quite a few different sauces to try if you check the menu, you ask everything was good. The restaurant or seating area is clean, nice and new lots of big TVs. This place is a real win. read more

We are Mad for Chicken. If you like spice, they have it. They can even tone it town. Fresh chicken the way you want it with a smile and helpfulness. They were all so kind and accommodating. A Korean twist to some of the dishes and an American twist on Korean dishes. The decor was clean, fresh, hip, and exciting at the same time. Catch a game and Demon Hunters at the same time. We liked everything we tried and the dok pokki was amazing, staying soft even after it cooled down. We didn't have big enough stomachs to try everything to try it all so we'll be heading back soon. read more

IMPORTANT: They are in a soft opening for two weeks and their hours will be 4:00-8:00, M-Sat. After their grand opening, hours will be 11:00a-11:00p M-Sat. Brand new restaurant featuring Korean style chicken in South SLC Chinatown. But you haven't had Korean style chicken like this! They will be having their soft opening on Monday, September 1. You really need to try them out, it is outstanding. I met the owner, Sean, making a FB Marketplace transaction. We got talking. He's Korean, I'm half Korean. He said he was opening a new restaurant and invited me to come and try it out, so I did. They aren't open yet, but we sat down and enjoyed a 2 hour visit. He had his cooks bring me out a plate, which you see in my photos. So first let me get to the food... FANTASTIC! There are two sauces, soy and spicy. He makes both of the sauces with his own recipe, manufactures them in Korea, and ships it over. He has seven well-known and established restaurants in NYC! This is his first in Utah. Anyway, the soy sauce is slightly sweet. The spicy can pack some heat. The chicken tenders are moist with a thin crispy outside. SO good. The sauce is SO good. The fries are the same, thin crispiness on the outside. The toast? It is called egg toast and it is like a rich French toast. So unusual and good. You really have not had Korean chicken like this before. You must try it. I was privileged to get a "sneak peak" taste. UPDATE: The wings are SOOOO good. Soy and Spicy options like the tenders. Perfect thin crunch outside, moist and tender inside. Great flavor, so delicious. The avocado salad is perfect. The dressing is light but not too light, sweet but not too sweet. Very delicious and refreshing. The bulgogi over rice is delicious. Comes with grilled green onions, diced white onions, and a spring mix lettuce. He has plans to open 150 stores in five years. (!!!!!!) Go. There. Now! 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

I am so pleasantly surprised at this establishment ! A new addition to the Chinatown Supermarket in the south SLC area. Great music, and the environment is clean. Though it was an order and sit-yourself-down type of restaurant, an employee checked in on us multiple times ! Everyone was so kind and accommodating when a small mess up happened - they forgot our ranch. The chicken is SO well cooked. The hot has great flavor and a perfect spice to it. We got half hot half mild. 7 fingers. The chicken was juicy and PERFECTLY crispy, it was sooooo crispy. The fries were so crispy on the outside as well. It comes with a house sauce as well that is like fry sauce with gochujang. The toast it comes with it is like a sweet egg dipped Korean sweet toast ! Loved that and it was a good cleanser between bites. The tteokbokki was great !! Incredible flavor, I wish there were more rice cakes in the dish overall, it was a bit overtaken by fish cake and cabbage. My one disappointment was that a dipping sauce was ~$1.50 and the ranch was SO SMALL...for $1.50 I would think that I am getting a texas roadhouse or wingstop sized ranch. Overall, I would absolutely visit again. The food was SO filling and truly incredibly cooked. Service is outstanding and so kind. read more

I saw this on social media so we went to try it. It is a bit hard to find and hard to park. It is in a group of Korean shops so parking was hard. This is a new place so I would recommend giving it a try. As for me I loved the parmigiana fries. They are crispy and had a good flavor. We also ordered the chicken strips. They are not your standard type. They are tempura layered and fried so very crispy as well. The issue is you get mild med and hot. No other sauces are offered. They don't have much flavor. They need some honey mustard or something. The service was not bad. It was a bit slow but the food is fresh. The place is new and clean. read more

Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: N/A - Did Take Out Value: 5/5 Tried out Mad Chicken and it was a good first experience ! We ordered takeout and got the 7 piece chicken wings, biology mac and cheese and an order of plain fries. Everything was hot and fresh by the time we picked up the order, which took about 30 minutes. The price was ok, not super cheap but not too expensive. I wish out bulgogi mac and cheese had more meat for the price ($12) but the mac and cheese itself had a pretty decent flavor. The Bulgogi Mac and Cheese and Bulgogi Quesadilla are probably what makes this place a bit more unique in the sea of chicken restaurants in the area. Worth a try! read more

Mediocre chicken. Ambiance: Plenty of seating, large TVs with sports on. Service: Order at the front and then they deliver the food to you. Food: Got the combo #4 with chicken fingers (half normal, half spicy) that came with fries, a drinks and coleslaw. Big portions but the chicken fingers were just okay and the sauces were nothing to write about. Overall, maybe it was my expectations, but fell pretty flat for me. An underwhelming experience. read more

Service was fast, friendly. Clean, cute, lots of big screens. Tried the 5 piece spicy chicken wing combo with a side of kimchi. Chicken was juicy, flavorful and had a decent spice. Fries are crispy and mad sauce is good. Side of coleslaw was nice. Kimchi was tasty. Overall would comeback again and try more things for sure! read more

Food was amazing!! The chicken was perfect, I loved the skin. I also like how they only have two flavors and makes it easy to decide. We got both spicy and mild and both were great, but I definitely would get all mild next time I go, it was so good. The staff were alright, they blamed us for not telling them the correct order (kimchi fries instead of plain fries) but me entire group and I remember me saying that, so they must've misheard but instead said we ordered the wrong thing. Not a big deal but just something that made our experience a 4/5. The tteokbokki was great, it was spicy and rice cakes were soft, I don't think it was the best so I probably wouldn't come back for that specifically. The kimchi fries were delicious!! Would definitely get again. Overall I think it's one of the best korean fried chicken spots in Utah and it's not overpriced like some other spots! read more

Let's talk Mad about chicken! You know I love my wings so I'm pretty critical about them. You know those chicken drumsticks tha come with Chinese food? That is the batter of the chicken. In regards to sauce.... It's just not enough. Cost wise is on the high side as each wing is almost $2 a wing and a 5 piece just chicken is close to $10 and the meal that includes fries and a drink is $15 . I also ordered the Mac n cheese and it was a white cheddar with sweet steak which did not match the flavors. The ambience is pretty cool. I like the big screens. They had a basketball plane and monster trucks and some K-pop stuff going on good music lots of choices of drinks and for that I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 stars. read more

I just picked up a chicken salad that I paid over $15 for. it's a clamshell with maybe $2 worth of salad they bought from Maverick and a plastic cup with ONE cut up chicken finger. ONE. People are getting sick and tired of being RIPPED OFF!!! read more

Friendly staff :) Ordered take out and the chicken held up well on the way home! We got the half & half. They're both good sauces, but I think I'd just get the spicy next time. It's not that spicy but there's a good kick to it!! Love the crunch on the chicken. The bulgogi mac and cheese wasn't anything special in my opinion. I thought it was okay -- pretty small serving of bulgogi and average mac and cheese. I'd try other sides but I think this might be just a chicken spot for us. read more

My favorite Korean fried chicken hands down in SLC. As a NYC transplant I'm so happy to see this. Food comes out piping hot, crispy AF and the flavors are so good. Hot has a kick so be prepared but it's so worth it. Service was quick and the staff were super sweet. Can't wait to visit again read more

Counter order vibes. Fast and friendly service. Parking right in front for customers . That alone is amazing!!! Parking can be so horrible in Chinatown. The wings are so crispy. Light. Not a thick batter. Wings inside is tender. Tteokbokki is delish! Good flavor and good texture. Kimichi fried rice is okay. I have had better. More on the vinegar side. Very kimichi. read more

They have been open for two weeks and are still ironing out some of the kinks. The Bulgogi Mac & Cheese came with the savory bulgogi beef mixed in instead of on top as written. The mac & cheese is quite rich and it would've been nice to cut the richness of the mac & cheese with bulgogi per bite. Also ordered mild on the chicken wing sauce. It is simply a garlic and soy sauce so there is no heat to it at all. Personally, I found the "mild" sauce to be very salty and no garlic flavor. Lastly, when you order, confirm that your order matches 'wings' or 'fingers' based on your preferred preference. read more

Mad for Chicken - Menu 2025.09.14 (no sandwich or quesadillas) - Korean Near Me - South Salt Lake, Utah

The crispness of the chicken wings was everything for me here. My friend and I got 2 7 piece wings and tried both the mild and spicy flavor. There was a mixup where they both came out mild, but we let the person at the front know and they were able to quickly sauce our wings with the correct spicy sauce. I liked both flavors with the spicy having a good kick to it and the mild being slightly sweet. The fries were also good, but I will say the coleslaw was a little disappointing in taste and portion size. Overall I would definitely come back for the chicken. read more

We got the regular wings with mild sauce, tried the parmesan fries as well as the mac & cheese. The wings had a fantastic crunch and the sauce was delicious--we're excited to revisit and try the spicy sauce next. The fries had amazing crispy texture and coating, although we didn't feel like the parmesan added much flavor. Our wait time was almost 30 mins even though it wasn't busy, but it ended up being worth it--the meal was delicious, service was friendly and the dining room was very clean and comfortable! read more

Mad for Chicken - Regular wing combo (#1) x2. One with parmesan fries - Korean Near Me - South Salt Lake, Utah

Went to the Chinatown Shopping Center and saw this new place that just opened. Thought I'd give a shot. Tried the pot dumplings. Excellent flavor but not very meaty. Basic frozen dumplings marinated and cooked. Nothing special. They need a chili sauce and the black vinegar dipping sauce for the dumplings, not ketchup. Check out Dave's Kitchen a few blocks away or Gary's at Olympus Hills Shopping center if you want real fried dumplings. Just sayin. Then I thought I'd try the bone in wings. Asked if I could just have flats and not drums. They said "no" they could not do that. So I canceled the order and left. No flexibility for the customer. Not a good sign. I'm a wing lover and they could have gained a customer. read more

Good crispy chicken. Garlic parm Fries weren't worth it. Bulgogi Mac was also super tasty. Service was great and kind. Kind of slow, but worth the wait. Atmosphere was empty bit big tvs could be fun. read more

Chicken tenders were really good. Hot was pretty spicy and had amazing flavor. The mild had zero heat and same amazing flavors, really wish their was a medium though. Dumplings were really good but preferred them mild heat. The reason I took a star away was the kimchi fried rice. Just awful, only flavor I got was sesame seed oil and was extremely oily. Inedible, we only took a couple bites read more

It's like a Korean Raising Canes, good sauce, fries and even buttery toast. Skip the tenders and just get the wings. Chicken Queen is much better for chicken. But if you have a big group, this place has more seating. Service is friendly and place is clean. read more

Place is great, the wait to get food was kinda long for them only being about 50% full but definitely worth the wait

This place is amazing. For being how new it is I was very skeptical of the quality of taste. However, the food was fantastic. I got the kimchi fried rice which was packed with flavor and the regular fries were which were cooked perfectly. The service was fantastic and friendly, and the setting was clean and comfortable with lots of TVs to watch sports. They also serve beer, which is a nice touch. The menu is simple, but yet flavor. Definitely going back. read more

Great wings, and awesome fries. These held up well for the 20 minutes it took to eat them. The kimchi fries are so good too, and their curry bowl. Get one of everything! read more

Super slow service, they have a ton of employees in the kitchen and can only manage to get out one order at a time? Do they only have one small fryer‍ Very strange. I got a 5 piece wing with the "hot" sauce. I didn't even a taste a kick. I don't know why people said they are super crispy, because mine were not. Not soggy but not crispy. Chicken is moist so that's why two stars, but I'll stick to BB.Q. The kicker for me: customer asking employee what is kimchi? Employee shrugs her shoulders and says cabbage and SAUCE.... maybe if you work at a KOREAN fried chicken place, you should know how to explain kimchi....‍ read more

Great service! The way the chicken was cooked was cooked to perfection! Crispy and delicious! I will definitely go here

Flippin amazing chicken and food. My friends and I stumbled here when we were lost trying to find a bit busy decent food spot. Happened to find this whole wandering around the plaza and took a gamble. Blew our minds as to how good it was (we also were starving so that probably helps this review). But would come again if I were to fly back to Utah. read more

Slow service there was only my family (three people) and two other individuals, ordered a 5pc and took almost 30mins, the cashier was rude and disrespectful and the workers were just chatting but did inform us that the food was almost done. The food is pretty good but the food was taking way to long. Bad atmosphere, warm way to warm sitting or standing in the restaurant makes you sweaty and like started there were barely any people but it took forever to get our food. Edit: got our food wrong which is why it took so long! But the cashier was still pretty rude at the beginning and warmth is still bad. read more
