Mad For Chicken: Discover Flushing's Best Korean Fried Chicken and Gastropub Experience

The space was packed Saturday night, and the staff made a conscious effort to keep up and check in with everyone, and seat as many folks as possible. Great vibes. Good food. Amazing staff.

I had been meaning to visit Mad for Chicken for the longest time, and I finally made it out to their Flushing location and let me tell you, it was absolutely worth the wait. While their à la carte menu looked solid, I couldn’t resist diving into the All-You-Can-Eat option. It was the right call ,we went all out. We kicked things off with a lineup of appetizers. The avocado salad was fresh and creamy, with a good balance between richness and crisp texture. The crabmeat salad was chilled and subtly sweet, light enough to ease into the heavier dishes ahead. The edamame, though simple, came out with just a touch too much salt ,not overwhelming, but enough to notice after a few handfuls. The tteokbokki which is a Korean rice cakes were coated in a classic gochujang-based sauce, spicy and slightly sweet, with that satisfying chew you expect. The fried dumplings, while beautifully crisp and golden on the outside, fell a little flat flavor-wise. The filling seemed sparse ,mostly just glass noodles and lacked that savory punch. I couldn’t help but think a mix of meat and veggies would have brought more depth and dimension to each bite. Then came the main event the fried chicken, served in all the right forms. I stuck with wings and drumsticks, and they nailed it. The skin was incredibly crisp, the meat tender and juicy. But what really stood out was the sauces Spicy Soy Garlic hit a great balance between salty, garlicky, and spicy. Serrano Chili was sharp and green, with a lingering heat that sneaks up on you. Mango Habanero was sweet at first, then fiery, with a fruity brightness that kept you reaching for more. Kickin Bourbon had this deep, smoky sweetness with a smooth, subtle burn. And Sweet & Spicy was sticky, bold, and dangerously addictive. Every flavor had its own personality and brought something different to the table they weren’t just spicy or sweet, they were layered. But the highlight? The seafood boil. We ordered it not once, but twice. The first round was bathed in a spicy garlic butter sauce rich, aromatic, and packed with flavor. It came loaded with snow crab legs, shrimp (head off), black mussels, green mussels, corn, potatoes, and hard-boiled eggs. Everything was cooked just right the shrimp were plump, the crab legs tender, and the mussels fresh. As an Asian, I couldn’t pass up pairing it with rice to soak up all that buttery sauce, and I also added a bulgogi over rice bowl on the side. The bulgogi had that classic sweetness, but this version leaned a bit too sweet not the usual balanced savory-sweet flavor I’m used to. It needed a sharper, more distinct note maybe a hint of soy or sesame to cut through and elevate it. Round two of the boil brought a totally different flavor profile. We went for the spicy lemon pepper sauce, and it was incredible. Bright citrus met warm heat, and together they made the seafood shine. This version came with baby clams, more shrimp, mussels, potatoes, kielbasa sausage, and eggs. The sausage soaked up the sauce beautifully, and every element had a bold, zesty edge that made it completely different from the first round. It felt like we were experiencing two entirely different dishes both excellent in their own way. To wrap it all up, we ordered the molten chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. A classic pairing, but done right the cake was warm and gooey in the center, not overly sweet, and paired perfectly with the cold, creamy vanilla ice cream. It was indulgent without being overwhelming a smooth finish to a feast. Even with a few minor hiccups, the meal was overwhelmingly satisfying. The service was quick and friendly, and despite how much food we ordered, everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully plated. The space had a casual vibe, but the food felt like it belonged somewhere more elevated. Overall a good experience and will be back.

For a early Friday dinner Resturant service was courteous, friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was rustic and chill vibes. Food service was made to order, fresh and wings, sandwiches, rice bowl and seafood boil was delicious. Will visit this location.

Excellent tasting food!! Crispy Chicken Bowl Quick service, Enough food to fill you up, $25.00 with tip. Loved it, highly recommend.

We love the food, The wings are the best. We have the glass noodles also, it was amazing. The bowl was average.

This Flushing location of Mad for Chicken is my preferred choice. The wings consistently meet high standards. The Golden BBQ sauce is a classic option for those who are undecided. The BBQ chicken sandwich is exceptional, particularly the coleslaw. A special commendation goes to "Soyung," the bartender, for crafting an outstanding sparkling Leche drink. Patrons can expect attentive and courteous service at this establishment.

Ever since I saw the AYCE flyer, I have been wanting to come here. Finally, I had the chance to come with my friends. We came on a Saturday night, which means we have to pay $45.99/person rather than $29.99/person. While this is much more expensive, I'll still say it was worth it. Depending on your party size, that is the maximum amount you can order per section. This means a party of four can order up to four items in each section. Do not worry, you can always order a second or third or more rounds! Just do not order too much as they will charge you food waste charges. My suggestion: do not order the drumsticks unless you are hungry! Personally, I prefer drumsticks over wings. When I ordered the drumsticks, though, I didn't expect them to be massive. It is still very delicious and I would recommend you to try it, but, as I mentioned, it is quite large! For the seafood boil, the Garlic Butter sauce was tasty. However, my all-time favorite has to be the Lemon Pepper sauce. The sweet and tangy flavor definitely accentuates the seafood, sausages, eggs, and vegetables. All-in-all, come in with an empty stomach and prepare to feast on flavorful chickens and seafood boil.

I went for the all you can eat it’s it’s like $45 per person that it has lot of nice choices of food to choose from. It look so good and very delicious as well. I had lots of fun!! The waitress is very nice as well!
