This review is for the WEST SEATTLE MA'ONO pop-up take-out Placed online order for 4:15 yesterday. Arrived at 4:08, walked in and yelled hello. Two guys in the back yaking..then finally answered, "your order is for 4:15!" I said okay, left and was back at exactly 4:15. My ordered was on shelf. Two minutes later I'm pulling out COLD chicken sandwiches. Chicken meat was moist and delicious though the breading was a bit too overcooked. Our sides, Icebox Broccoli Salad was meh...Potato Mac Salad didn't taste like potato or mac, and the Mac and Kimcheese was HORRIBLE. Had a weird very strong onion taste. For a total of $52. So not worth it. I am sad I really wanted to like this take-out but I am so disappointed. Will not be going back. read more

Experienced a delicious lunch near the office. It was a bit pricey considering the sandwich does not come with a side, you have to order them individually. However, the food was incredibly tasty. The sandwich had the perfect combination of crunch and flavor without being greasy. The potato Mac salad reminded me of a childhood favorite at cook outs. The food came out in less than 10 minutes of being ordered. Tip: they don't call out when your order is up, they just set it on the counter alphabetically so make sure to look up from your phone for it to appear. read more

I've worked nearby for years and have eaten here often. I've never left a review so here it is. Eat here. Their fried chicken is the best I've ever had (in Seattle). Perfectly crisp exterior and the juiciest white chicken on the inside. You know what I'm talking about! No nasty tendon or sus looking brown pieces that you spit out. The spice is so good - they have different levels depending on your preference. I usually order the chicken strips, filling 3 piece meal. On this visit I got a spicy chicken sandwich and completely devoured it with a side of mac salad. Just so delicious. Extra perk, RGB is inside so you can purchase a ginger beer as your drink as well. read more

People think this is actually good? Quite disappointing to say the least, one of the most bland fried chicken I've ever had. Dave's Hot Chicken is better read more

I picked up chicken fingers from Ma'Ono on a whim after work so expectations weren't high but oh boy was I pleasantly surprised! I ordered online for pickup in store (inside Rachel's Ginger Beer) and my order was ready ahead of the slated pickup time, packed well, with all extras I asked for and placed conveniently on a counter by the door so I could grab & go. The chicken itself was fresh and juicy and the size of the chicken fingers weren't wimpy at all. I ordered Medium heat level and it was perfect-- decently spicy but not melt your face off. My side of fries was crisp and had a light dusting of whatever seasoning was on my chicken; tasty, though I wouldn't consider fries essential on my next trip depending on my hunger level. The real stars of the meal were the hot honey mustard (I want this sauce on everything going forward) and the daikon pickles (if they sold these by the jar, I would buy them to snack on daily). Would definitely pick this meal up again and it's probably even better if enjoyed immediately in the store. read more

The fried chicken on the menu were great in drumstick, ginger, and burger forms. The kulua chicken on the other hand was tasteless and had to be dressed with lots of sauce to have flavor. read more

This place is actually pretty insane. Although it isn't a super gourmet or complex meal, for a quick and relatively cheap chicken sandwich, it's probably one of the best places I've been to. Definitely better than Popeyes or chic fil a, The counter that you order at is in Rachel ginger beer and is only open near the end of the week, but because of that, there is a lot of seating area and has an easy way to grab your order. I went when it was relatively empty, but even still, it would be worth to order ahead and try out! read more

I've been going to this Ma'ono chicken for the last year and honestly i have yet to find better fried chicken. You have a choice of no heat, mild, medium, hot, and extra hot. I always stick with the medium as i find it to be well balanced. You can select between a chicken sandwich, chicken fingers which is what i always get and chicken drumsticks. As for sauce, i always get the honey mustard since there's is amazing. This is a must try and they have other locations so if this is not in your area i highly recommend you find one that is! read more

Just as good as the other location, good value on the strips, the second hottest level is perfect balance, tons of flavor. Great sauces. Great pickles. Best fried chicken in seattle I've had read more

Was looking to try a new place amidst the weekday lunch chaos and decided on Ma'ono for takeout. My husband is a fried-chicken fiend so it seemed like a good contender. This is located in Rachel's Ginger Beer. It was easy to scan the QR code they have visibly at the front, make your order via your mobile phone, and wait until it's ready/placed at the counter. You can also order at the register if you are looking to order RGB as well but it is less time consuming if you place via mobile. There is still a wait during peak hours but there is seating (booths and barstools) inside and out. They have the large windows and the door open on sunny days so plenty of ventilation. I waited a total of 19 mins around 12:40-1pm. If you only want RGB, you'll want to wait in line for the register. I ordered a chicken sandwich (med spice) for my husband and vegetarian sandwich (med spice) for myself, a side of Mac salad, and fries. This was plenty for us to share but if you are a big eater, you'll want to get your own portion. The guava RGB is my favorite and a nice palate cleanser. Chicken sandwich (per my husband) - 4/5 Vegetarian sandwich - 4/5 - the patty coating on the outside was spicy but didn't have much flavor itself. Mac salad - 5/5 - I didn't think I'd eat the rest but I did. Fries - 3/5 - they were initially okay when warm but as they cooled. You realize how salty they are and I didn't find myself grabbing for more as I might elsewhere. A but on the pricey side - for about $13/sandwich - but I was so hungry I didn't notice until after. Overall it was a great selection for lunch and I wouldn't mind eating here again! read more

Pretty good chicken place, with the only issue that there is absolutely nobody to assist you with your food. Once every 5 minutes a busy packer/busser appears from behind the kitchen to put out bags with food and quickly disappears from the view. You can try desperately screaming asking for help, but your cries will not be heard. That's what happened when I needed utensils, that packer person forgot to add into the bag, and container near by was empty from both napkins and forks. I've waited for 10 minutes for some lady who pours drinks to help me to no avail. So I ended up tossing my potato salad into trash and scoop veggies from another dish with my hand. 2 stars because chicken was good. read more

It's my go-to fried chicken restaurant. The University village location has a Kimchi sauce that pairs well with fries. They are generally in the same location as Rachel's Ginger beer and make a satisfying combination read more

First: the chicken is great! But this branch of the chain is trying to give you a post-apocalyptic "nobody knows how to talk" vibe. Walk in and you cannot order from the counter, you must use your phone. There is no option to order for in store so you also must waste a bunch of packaging. And for the lack of any service, the app suggests you leave a generous tip... read more

My favorite spicy chicken sandwich in seattle!!! Super flavorful, right amount of spice (I usually get hot) and it's great! Even the fries are great. I go here at least once a month!! read more

Best meal we had in seattle. Chicken was crispy and delicious. Reason for 4 stars is they were out if chicken tenders. You have items on the menu, keep then in stock. read more

Great place to stop for an easy meal in the area! They have super convenient ordering via phone and an easy to understand pick up system in their shared location with Rachel's Ginger Beer. I loved their classic fried chicken sandwich and would highly recommend! They also have both indoor and outdoor seating, so it is easy to enjoy in any type of weather. Highly recommend! read more

Another SLU spot that is not as good as it looks. Overpriced, but probably around what you're use to paying if you eat in the area commonly. Unfortunately, Seattle is pretty bad for chicken sandwiches. Haven't found a good spot yet, and this place also falls into the category of mediocre. read more

Best fried chicken sandwich I've had in Seattle! Great ratio of white breast meat to breading (the whole fried chicken piece weighed in at 5oz) so that it wasn't overwhelmingly salty or plain. I got mild, and the savory paprika on the breading went well with the sweet/sour daikon pickles and creamy mayo. You actually can't order at the counter at this location at all, so you might as well place an online order ahead of time before walking over. Though we went around noon when they opened on Sat, and there wasn't much of a wait for the food even though we placed the order after we got there. The sandwich was super satisfying and not too heavy. The fried chicken was very clean, like it didn't have those weird chewy chicken bits that a lot of lower quality meats have. Def coming back here! read more

Objectively the best chicken strips I've had in the city, and possibly among fried chickens I've had ever. Crispy, well-seasoned, and extremely moist inside! Fried fresh too! The "hot" was in fact, actually spicy! I wish they would put bleu cheese on the menu as a dipping sauce! The service (Saturday, March 13, 2021 in the afternoon) was also extremely friendly, accommodating and just overall excellent! read more

This hidden gem is by far the best in town. Absolutely worth every money spent. Be it the chicken strips or the fried chicken drumsticks, it's lip smacking and delicious. The sandwich is filled with a generous piece of fried chicken. We are regulars here and will continue to be. If you still haven't checked out this place, don't hesitate to give it a shot. read more

I absolutely love the kimchi macaroni and cheese and the potato pasta salad I always get the hot chicken sandwich it is a bit spicy but delicious and when you add the honey mustard perfect. read more

I love the chicken fingers here. It comes with some pickled daikon radish slices that are pretty bomb too. I always get the ranch dipping sauce. Friendly, fast service and always delicious. I highly recommend. read more

Average fried chicken but it might be because this places closes early and everything was sold out. So something must be great for others. I only had the fried chicken which I liked it was all just legs (dark meat). It was fried well, super fresh, but the seasoning was meh. I got the medium? And it was just a lot a lot of like paprika or something. I think I wanted more dimension to the spice and it just felt overloaded and not even that spicy. Maybe I need to try another spice level and I think their chicken sandwiches would be amazing because it'd be with all the other flavors like their pickle and sauce. Need to come back to give it a second chance. read more

Absolutely YUM! I got extra Mayo and pickles (Bc I'm always scared there won't be enough) and I would recommend. Better than any other fried chicken sammich I've had in Seattle. And 19$ for the wich and a side? Not terrible. In fact- I liked it so much that I took my boyfriend back the next day. he feels the same way. read more

Yummy fried chicken sandwiches! You have an option to enjoy it with the many flavors of Rachel's ginger beer/cocktails. Tried the guava moscow mule and mango margarita. Both were amazing. Will definitely come back! read more

I know, I know. The west Seattle bridge is closed. Doesn't matter. You need to go here, ASAP. It's by far the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. The pickled radish is delicious, the chicken is perfectly cooked and moist, and the drive was worth it. The. Best. read more

This is one of my go-to places that I probably eat like twice a month. And I realized that I never wrote a review! I have a high heat/spice tolerance, and they definitely aren't messing around here. After experimenting, now I typically get a medium for the sandwich, and it still has enough heat to keep it interesting. I can tolerate hot, but medium is perfectly sufficient. Once we got the XXX-Hot, and it was personally too much for me to be enjoyable. If you have a really high heat tolerance and want to try it out, my recommendation would be to get the XXX-Hot for the chicken fingers. And split the fingers with other people (while also getting a less hot sandwich). I feel like if you have one XXX-Hot chicken finger, you'll be good. Because it is the type of spice that lingers in your mouth for a while afterwards. And if you're some type of freak and that doesn't phase you, come back to get the sandwich as XXX-hot next time. Because you will want to come back. RGB is such a genius partnership. The pairing of the RGB drinks and the Ma'ono fried chicken is perfection. So it is worth coming in to the actual place and not always ordering via delivery. When I get this delivered, I usually get an extra order of the fingers and use the leftovers (the pickles, the chicken, the ranch dressing) to make a salad with lettuce and carrots that I already have in my fridge. read more

Best fried chicken downtown, hands down. I got the hot chicken and THEY'RE NOT LYING, it was however worth waiting the extra time in between tenders to let my mouth recover! Crisp and slightly reddish-greasy on the outside (they're dunked in pork fat) very juicy, I'd guess brined, white meat on the inside. Heavenly with ranch dipping sauce. For $8, you get 3 tenders & you can't go wrong. I could see myself ordering this delivery over Ezell's any day. read more

Ma'ono Fried Chicken - Hot chicken tenders & Mac salad - Chicken Shop Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Okay had a good experience at this location compared to the Uvillage one. Ordered the chicken fried impossible burger and all I got to say is WOW one of the best impossible burger sandwiches I've had!!! They batter it in the same stuff as the chicken and it's so crunchy and delicious!! Everything comes together so deliciously with the Hawaiian bun and house-made pickles. I know not every location serves the impossible burger option but they should and advertise it more, because they have made it unique and SO good. read more

Good service, chicken was well fried; the spices are bit dry so it tends to coat the inside of your mouth, and makes it feel like you need to drink water constantly. Great with a ginger beer as a side. I personally would've preferred if the spice was a bit stronger. read more

Located inside Rachel's Ginger Beer, we just ordered from our phones using the QR code. Food was ready very quickly - less than 10 minutes! Chicken fingers and mac salad were delicious. read more

This place is absolutely beloved by many. You will appreciate the quality of food and always friendly service. However, for me it just seems like they have really good chicken but not particularly that different from others I've tasted. Especially in Hawaii. But I would definitely recommend this place for those that love chicken. read more

There is no way to describe how good this chicken is other than saying you have to go ASAP! It's so good, the first time I had it I texted 5 people. Then I made plans to go back the next day. I'm hoping to overdose on it so I can get it out of my system. I don't know what this batter is made out of but I clearly now have a problem. Thx! read more

Had the fried chicken sandwich and the chicken fingers. Both were pretty good! Neither greasy or overly heavy. Highly recommend!

This place has the BEST fried chicken ever!! I've only ever gotten the chicken fingers because they are so tasty, I haven't been adventurous yet. Yum!!! read more

A review for the South Lake location. I got the chicken sandwich- honestly not best chicken sandwich I've had. It's on the dry side. The outside was okay the some bits were so dry it was hard to chew. I also got the mac salad which is pretty good if you like lots of mayo (I do). I ordered pick up and it was very fast and organized, you walk right in and it's there in alphabetical order no need to talk to anyone. I'd be willing to try again though - their fries look good! read more

ehhh. beyond disappointed in this place. i had high hopes after seeing their reviews and was hoping to find a solid fried chicken sandwich joint comparable if not better than the bird in san francisco. i ordered their fried chicken sandwich, extra mayo, extra radish, with a side order of fries and an ipa. when my order was ready, the chicken was cold to the touch. it wasn't crispy and hot on the outside, nor juicy when bitten into. the heat clearly came from seasoning applied to the exterior after cooking the chicken. my buns were cold, not toasted, the slaw was alright. the temperature of each layer of my food was inconsistent. there wasn't a melody of flavors just a big mistake. their fries were good. i would go to this place for their frozen moscow mules, cbd infused teas and to check out the amazon spheres but not for their signature sandwich read more

I really love the chicken at Ma'ono; juicy quality meat, not too much breading and excellent spice levels for the tame to the very adventurous. I do however miss the Kimchi Mac and cheese that is offered at Uvillage. I think one complaint people (Devin G) and the other Amazombies is the ordering process. Understand it is 2 separate businesses so it is 2 different POS systems. If any of you have been to the Uvillage or Cap Hill locations it is 2 different windows which is more annoying than just running your card twice. Ok but yes bring the Mac and Cheese! read more

So. good. My husband, who refrains from fried food, asked to go a second time in one week. The hot is no joke so be careful. Fries, cucumber poke (pickles), and pickled radish all good too! read more
