    BULGOGI BOWL
    Delino S.

    Great service and quality food. The bulgogi bowl is tasteful along with the mad tenders and their BBQ sauce - They aren't cheap with the bulgogi btw. We also ordered the watermelon juice and that was very refreshing. I'm glad this is in the neighborhood! Mad for chicken is very spacious and provides a comfortable atmosphere and we love that of course. This is my second time visiting and will be back for Wednesday's deal on wings

    Went back there last night Friday night. We wanted to catch the Happy hour deals but it's only available from 3 to 6pm. They have an awesome happy hour deals for like $5 beers and my favorite lychee soju. As well as tgeir happy hour appetizers. We ordered our usual half classic and half soy garlic wings, avocado salad, lychee tini and the mango cart beer which is amazing! Ambience is cool, casual and just perfect to hang out with friends or family! My go to spot! Still!

    My fiancé and I came on a Saturday night - it's a big space but the tables were mostly empty. We were excited to try the AYCE Korean fried chicken and seafood boil deal here, but the quality and flavor of both were sorely lacking, so the deal wasn't worth it imo. The servers were also not that attentive either.

    Came to catch the Knicks playoff game--wasn't on, but staff kindly changed the channel for us. Only con: just one server, and he didn't know about Restaurant Week, so we missed out. Ended up doing the All-You-Can-Eat Boil, which was delicious and super filling. Worth it overall!

    I have been to plenty of restaurants in my lifetime but this is the first time I have ever had this type of experience. I was on a date night and have been looking forward to coming here for a while and boy was this place a complete disappointment. This review is about the lack of communication with the waiter, and kitchen. It really ruined my dinner because I did not get my dinner. Mad for Chicken is a very large space with a full bar. They were busy but not that busy at all on a Friday night. We were seated right away and everyone was polite and friendly. I ordered their chicken drumsticks with chicken thighs. The waiter said chicken with wings. I corrected him and showed him on the menu what I wanted and he repeated my order and said ok. I also ordered truffle French fries. My other half ordered their Spicy chicken sandwich that came with fries plus a Kirin Ichiban. 10 minutes later the spicy chicken sandwich came out and it was hot and looked delicious but it was not my dinner. I of course told my other half to eat and enjoy his food while it was hot. I waited for an additional 5 minutes for my dinner. When my dinner finally came out it was not what I ordered it was chicken drumsticks with wings so I returned it. At this point, I still have not received my truffle fries. I think if they would had brought my truffle fries, waiting for my correct order would not have been so bad because we would be eating together. Now about 20 minutes later. I do not think that the waiter communicated with the kitchen about my wrong order. There was no immediacy to bring out my correct order. The kitchen was sending food out to other tables while I was waiting for my correct order, plus truffle fries. My better half finished eating his dinner and I was still waiting for mine. The waiter said nothing to me about my order. What would you do? I was so annoyed I just wanted the check because we came out to eat together. I ended up watching him eat then he was going to watch me eat whenever they decided to bring out my order. What a waste of time. Even when we were leaving the women in the front asked us what was wrong, and we told her. Her response was next time it will be better. Ok, there will not be a next time for me thank you.

    Seafood boil

    Amazing deal at the Sunnyside Mad for Chicken, especially weekday lunches which is only $30 for AYCE chicken, korean small plates, and seafood boil! The price is $45pp at dinner and weekends. The service was also amazing, as they brought out the included soft drinks and teas very quickly. Seasoning for the chicken and for the seafood boils were on point, with a good level of spice to tantalize your taste buds to go for more. The crabs and crawfish were the favorite ingredients for us!

    2nd time visiting this location ; this time we visited for the AYCE (all you can eat) new menu - we went during lunch hours & the menu depicted $45.99 per person. Please keep in mind that NOT all MAD locations have the AYCE option, you'll need to call & ask - currently the Flushing & Sunnyside confirmed they have the option This restaurant is very spacious with cute light up pictures on the wall & an upbeat playlist of music which adds to the ambiance. The service was fast, & efficient For the AYCE- they charge $15 for uneaten food, order only what you're able to finish in the 90 minute table limit. you have the option to select appetizers, juice/soda & the seafood boil entrees. We ordered the MFC spicy garlic drumsticks, kickin bourbon wings , mango habanero wings, kimchi fries, dumplings & 2 orders of the kimchi veggie dumplings then for the boil we had the snow crab legs, shrimp head off, crawfish, green mussels, corn & potatoes. You can also select black mussels, clams, lobster tail for an additional $15 select ur sauce & spice level -- the food came out hot, fresh & flavoful 10/10 recommend going with a group & go hungry! Along with this menu the beer, wine & signature drinks are $5, make sure you clarify with the server which drinks are $5 or you will be charged full price

    Service was everything it should be! The hosts move quick and are eager to help. Ambiance had an old school saloon vibe. Chicken sandwich was regular but the truffle fries are a yes, I'd go back for those.

    I came here first with Hubby for lunch and had the avocado salad with grilled chicken. That was the best dish for me. That big salad, a huge sliced avocado, and great grilled chicken seasoning were an excellent combination for a big bowl of salad. We also ordered the nachos. We didn't know nachos would be that big. Hubby also ordered the three pieces of Mad for Chicken to try. That dish was served with fries. The nachos were great, too, but we could do without them. The fried chicken was all right; I had very little because I don't eat fried food, but wanted to try the seasoning. Good taste. We had Jose to wait at our table. He did everything well with the order and paid attention to the table. I returned here with my best friend. She saw my salad's photo, so we both ordered two bowls of the same salad, but mine with grilled chicken, and she had hers with fried chicken. We also ordered the kimchi dumplings. These were fried, but the spicy one tasted so good that I couldn't resist. I made an exemption to have the fried dumplings. They got me! Angela served our table, and she was so energetic and happy! I mean she's very happy! Naturally happy! Other than food, we had some refreshing drinks. I had watermelon and lychee, and she had something I can't remember, cucumber, maybe because of the green color. Btw, it's worth mentioning the starter which was seasoning popcorn. This is a no-nonsense popcorn. That seasoning is to die for! It was written on the board that the grill starts at 5 pm. I tried the place during lunch and late lunch. One day, I will try the grill. This is a big place for a lot of parties. However, sitting with proper chairs is limited. You can have a table with long chairs but not comfortable if you take your time to eat. I prefer a proper table and chairs. Worth a visit. Try it!

    I went to this place for the first time not my choice. First the staff is super slow with only a handful of people there. There are flies flying over you. I placed and order and it took forever to come out and then it was incomplete. I asked for a knife and got a butter knife. No salt or pepper was ever bought to the table. The food left so much to be desired. If you are in the area skip it.

    Looks nice. Friendly staff. Not crowded. All that being said, I ordered the BBQ chicken sandwich meal which comes with a canned soda & fries. I also got a side order of truffle fries bringing the total to $30.57. Do with that information, what you will

Most Asian…read morerestaurants in this neighborhood are fancy sit-downs, so it was exciting to see a quick, casual stop for Asian "finger food" (for a lack of better word) within my vicinity. Joju specializes in modern Vietnamese cuisine, serving meals like bahn mi, loaded fries, and rice meals. The menu recently added soy garlic wings, and since I am a fiend for Asian-style fried chicken, I of course had to have it. While all of the beverages looked tempting, especially their non-alcoholic soju refreshers, I needed caffeine to offset the afternoon slump that was about to follow, so I ordered a Vietnamese coffee. The wings were huge! It was notably crunchy, saucy, and juicy. There was a decent skin to meat ratio, (I so hate biting into a mouthful of breading), and the meal came out piping hot. It was clear the chicken had been fried per order. Those who know me know that I can't live without rice and would eat it with almost any meal, including fried chicken, so I did request it on the side, although the wings don't come with it. The man who took my order did me a solid and served it with mine, anyway. Good lad! I've been wanting to try Vietnamese coffee for a while now, and it was everything I imagined it would be. Sweet with a bitter backend - but not too bitter! I'm still new to coffee, and I pucker up at anything too intense. This was just right. My meal at Joju satisfied me, mind, body, and soul. I hope it is here to stay, and I hope that a shop like this is a catalyst for other quick Asian food stops to follow. Korean and Filipino restaurants - I'll be waiting!

Restaurant is small and cozy, was a bit hard to get to the booth area due to how close together the tables are, but still felt fairly private and not like we were overhearing conversations. Service was great, we got menus quickly, were asked if we needed more time after a few minutes. We ordered phos, and I also got a Thai iced tea and we got the water spinach for the table. The drinks came out very quickly, as did the pho! They also gave us hoisin sauce and sriracha if needed. Broth was good and flavorful, meat was well cooked (I got chicken). I also really enjoyed the water spinach, it was really well seasoned and I'd definitely get it again. Also everything was a good amount so I definitely felt full by the end of it.

I just got regular pho which I needed to season some more to get it a bit more peppery and salty. They were a little stingy with the bean sprouts so I did not know if I could as for me but I did not fulfill my taste buds and hunger so I am satisfied!!! Price for it is also Well worth it, I have been to pho restaurant with bigger bowls with the same price but it is okay! I loved the decoration and setting, and service was always on point they were their watching and always asking if we needed anything else! Highly recommend and would come back again!

The dressing was light and not overpowering with the mix of the chicken, croutons and outside wrap was a truly stellar combination. Very fresh and wasnt soggy one bit. the cookies: small black n white cookie, rainbow cookie and chocolate sprinkle and all were hits! my favorite was the black n white because the icing melts right off the soft cookie texture and tastes more like a cake than a cookie. All were amazing and is a must try when visiting. absolutely rec when you're on the east side!

There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.
