“I usually don’t rate 5 stars but this restaurant deserves it. I have been here twice and each time the owner has treated me and my family so well. The food is so good as well this is a place to go to when you’re hungry. I highly recommend!“
“I'm no expert on Korean food but I do know delicious and this place definitely hit the mark. Upon walking into the place I knew it was going to be a good experience. The staff were super friendly and also helpful with food selection which I needed. The restaurant has a light and airy feel to it with a nice layout with an ability to accommodate smaller groups. The bar seating is a great choice if you're on your own or with a friend. The make all types of cocktails and have a nice selection of beers including some Korean options. The food menu offers some classic Korean dishes from what I learned. I went with the Spicy Squid Bibimbap for my main. Before that came out they brought me a free appetizer which hit the spot. I'm not certain what it all was but I didn't leave much behind. Apparently this is one of three locations. I really hope to be back again in the future. Enjoy!!“
“This is my fried chicken spot after-hour, reasonable price, and their house special hot sauce is why I'm go here They got some hot sauce If you're ordering it to go, ask for the special hot sauce, not them chinese packet hot sauce They're Cole slaw is good too,“
“My partner and I came to mad for chicken after the movies after craving the soju lada which I have had before in the forest hills location and the flushing one. I ordered kimchi fries which were great and I would like to mention our waitress (she had the Medusa piercing) was very VERY sweet. My main problem was with the bar service.My soju lada barely tasted like what it was meant to be, a pina colada. It had mint and possibly just the lightest splash of their colada mix. When I brought this up the bartender came to our table and told us that the drink always included mint which was not true since I have been here before and have gotten the same drink with absolutely NO mint. Realistically what pina colada ever includes mint leaves, the menu itself didn’t mention mint at all in the cocktail which could be awful for someone with an allergy to find out. The bartender did politely ask if I wanted something else but since I already started the drink and I am a massive pushover I just finished it.Again overall the fries were great, waitress was very lovely it was just the bar service. Don’t add ingredients in food/drinks but not include it in the menu ??♀️“
“I was craving boneless chicken and came across Don Chicken. Don Chicken is a chain with multiple locations throughout NY and NJ. If you love eating boneless wings packed with a lot of sauce, this is the place to go. Service was OK and the restaurant was a little small. Definitely seems more like a place to pick up your food and go.“
“Everything on the menu is on point. I really like how you can choose the number of wings. The food is prepared pretty quickly. The person at the counter (whom I believe is the owner) seems cold at first, but he turns out to be very caring towards the customers!“
“Not sure what this disgruntled reviewer named Mel is talking about in his review of this food establishment. Every staff member I have met and dealt with, whether in person or over the phone has been nothing but gracious, polite and respectful to their customers. Quite obviously this guy has nothing better to do than to review places and give them bad raps. Pretty sure they don’t need people like you in their establishment.“
“The first time I went here, they had an all you can drink beer special for $15 and that was pretty amazing. They don't do that anymore.I went a second time to eat with my wife and it was really good. They had a birthday special so we went on her birthday. And we got like eight pieces of fried chicken for free. We also got some drinks and some fries. Everything was really good. We sat in the back and brought our baby. The people taking care of us were high-quality. We also got the mochi donuts. I have come back multiple times to pick up the mochi donuts since then. They are super greasy. They are crazy good. I'm looking forward to checking out some more things from this place in the future.“
“We were very well served and ate well but I didn't like that with more than 40 minutes left until the closing of the business they didn't let us order 70% of the dishes because they took 20 minutes to cook, it doesn't seem neat to me.Leaving that aside the quality was very good and I would eat at this place again, keep in mind that you have to go early (before 9pm) to avoid this.“
“Not count as cheap eat though, but I really like the vibes here, it’s pretty like local Cantonese style. And the food taste pretty good though, I like the cheese pork cutlet and the Hong Kong style milk tea.The staffs are really nice here, tips are not mandatory but I did leave some tips to them.“
“First time ordering food at this place, to go. I got the original burger, and the cheese steak. One of the best cheese steaks I've had. The meat was extremely soft and had an amazing flavor, the burger also had a very unique taste and was great! Will definitely be coming back to this place, have to try the shakes next time too, can't wait.?“
“10/10- this is one experience you must try in your life. The chicken and complimentary side dishes goes hand in hand. Definitely a bit of a wait for the food, so I do recommend calling a head of time for pick up but it will be worth it. The staff members are so kind and there customer service is beyond ordinary. Very juicy chicken and seasoned perfectly!“
“Hidden gem. Not just a pizza joint. They have lots of hidden options like the Korean Chili Chicken or Chicken Teriyaki. I’ve also purchased delicious naan from here as well. All at reasonable prices and very delicious. I wouldn’t necessarily dine in due to the atmosphere but I always visit because of the quality of food. ??“
“Great tasty food and friendly staff! Everything looked so good in menu. Wanted to try everything to be honest but this time I tried the Amarillo Chicken Burger and the Atomic Wings. Can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu.“
“**Google Review: Mad for Chicken**⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I recently dined at Mad for Chicken and had a mixed experience. The cozy cabin-like atmosphere combined with a sports bar vibe makes it a great spot for large groups. The restaurant also offers a wide selection of beers, which is definitely a plus.We ordered the 20 piece spicy chicken wings, and they were fantastic! The wings had a crispy exterior and a moist and tender interior. The spiciness was packed with flavor, and as we indulged in more wings, the heat really kicked in. It was a delicious and satisfying dish.However, we were disappointed with the crispy chicken bowl. While the sauce was great, there was an excessive amount of it, making the dish overly salty and the chicken soggy. The flavor was mostly dominated by the BBQ sauce, and the more we ate, the less we enjoyed it. I would not recommend this particular dish.On a positive note, they offer free popcorn with Asian savory seasoning, which was a tasty and enjoyable snack.During our visit, they had the basketball all-star game playing on all screens with audio, adding to the lively atmosphere. Overall, we had a good time at Mad for Chicken, especially with the great vibes and the opportunity to hang out with my girlfriend.“
“My first experience with Yetnal Tongdak and the original fried whole chicken was very good. Crispy skin and moist meat. If they’re able to maintain this consistency, I’m sure they’ll stay in business for a long time. I added both mayo and sweet spicy sauce on the side. They were kind enough to send a small amount of sliced onion that normally goes with their mayo sauce chicken. Their pickled radish is just right for my taste. Not too sweet and not too bland. Can’t wait to try their jokbal next time.“
“Great spot for chicken and tea. I got the partea meal with soy garlic chicken, Cajun fries, and a yakult drink. The sandwich was amazing. It's a chicken thigh, so it's more flavorful and tender, not dry at all. The fries were pretty good, which is something coming from me. And the yakult drink was my favorite.The partea meal also comes with a little toy, which was cute.The establishment also has a bunch of games, but I didn't get time to play any. Fantastic spot to grab a nice dinner to go.Parking: Parking lots in the area.“
“once i walked in it was just good vibes & energy! so many different selections i was overwhelmed with choices. but the tacos were amazing! & their strawberry lemonade don’t even get my started ! it was fantastic. they do doordash gruhub so many different things. also serve junior cheese cake like whattt! nah it’s really a new spot for me & my boyfriend & i would highly recommend.Vegetarian options: i ordered cheese lettuce & salad & it was able to be made & offered tomato’s so i feel like you can ask if they can do a customized plate“
“I love their pizza! I got their meat lovers pizza and it was absolutely AMAZING, DELICIOUS, AND HALAL!!! The staff are so respectful and caring and the environment is really clean. Most definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a halal pizza spot!“
“Omg everything I order I am always satisfied with. Tonight I had the pasta, with broccoli and chicken cutlet with an garlic and oil sauce it was delicious! Mom had the spegetti and chicken cutlet and husband had rigatoni and meatballs everyone is very satisfied! Thank you so much you really take care of your customers!“
“Great chicken steak sandwichGreat chicken shwarmaHe has fries better than McDonald's.... yes better than!Wings are really good! Add any of the sauces to your liking. I had the regular honey, so good! Will try the fried chicken next time I go!“
“Friendly, accommodating service and the place is very clean. Excellent selection of food including dessert, ice cream and slushees. Their fries are outstanding - I asked for them extra crispy and each one had a nice crunch to it. Gyro sandwich was very good and fresh. The only improvement I’d suggest is that they actually ROLL it (like the picture on their menu) in paper foil so it’s easy to eat. Instead they fold it in half on a paper plate and wrap that in foil which requires some reconstruction.But I’ll definitely be back, great neighborhood spot for a quick bite!“
“Glad there's another boba spot in the mix of Rego Park. I can tell they do a better job of providing quality tea than other boba businesses here. I ordered the Jasmin green milk tea and it wasn't watered down. I was able to taste the flavor and their tapioca pearls were perfect“
“The food is absolutely delicious ? Halal Ramen! Finally! Lol. The waiters/waitresses are really kind, patient and helpful. The restaurant is always clean and there’s always a vacant table when I arrive. I love going here, thank you guys for the yummy food and great customer service!“
“Ordered through Uber eats. I like that the packaging has a steam vent. I got boneless with soy garlic on the side. It's a great value with how much you get, moist and the sauce isn't overpowering. I'll buy again.I bought the bogo offer dumplings. It's sad but most korean fried chicken spots are not making their own dumplings but are now using bibigo's freezer section dumplings. That said, they're good dumplings but I eat these exact types at home already.“
“The owner created a really welcoming and warm environment. The pizza was absolutely amazing ! I would recommend this pizza place to all my friends. Will be using this for classroom pizza parties moving forward.Kid-friendliness: Was kind and welcoming to students and children.“
“The food was amazing. I got the beef bulgogi and wings and my gf got the smoked burger and it was all delicious. The waiter Sushan was great. He was working all alone and had to tend to like 12 people which wasn’t easy. All in all our experience was great, would come back “
“My husband and I actually have an addiction to this place. I think we have eaten there at least 5 times a week since it opened — like it’s a problem… but not a bad one to have. Every single thing on the menu is incredible, from the pizzas to the desserts to the zappolis. Fresh ingredients, amazing bread and crusts, delicious cheese. The Portobello Goat cheese panini is a favorite of mine, and so is the fresh mozarella panini. You can’t go wrong with any of the pizzas ever but my particular favorite at the moment is the “special” pizza with arugula, cherry tomatoes and a balsamic glaze. omg. divine.I used to get sick of pizza but that has yet to happen since we started eating at retro. I see multiple people walking around the neighborhood with boxes from there so I know we aren’t the only ones who have made the discovery of the best pizza in Astoria. On top of that, service is beyond friendly, everyone that works there is a delight. 10/10 recommend“
“OMG, I've eaten at many halal places before, but this one def stands above the rest. Their flavors are unique, the store is always clean, they are polite when they are serving you, and the prices are very reasonable. I've recommended them to many people. And you won't regret your experience.“
“The Lamb Chop Empanadas SLAPPPP!!! A++++++. THE combination of Latin Empanadas with different twist from American to Caribbean culture is SUPERB! I'm definitely coming back, PSA please be patient with the food cause they are making em as you order, if you want quicker service order online....“
“We booked the room in the back for a bday party. The room fits a party of 20 comfortably. Our server was friendly and worked diligently to meet our requests. We ordered quite a few things from the menu and they came out quickly. All the food was delicious and their portions were good. This was our second time coming here as a group and they did not disappoint me.“
“This place was awesome. It was fully clean and the place we pretty, I ordered spicy chicken sandwiches which were amazing and tasted really good it had a kick to it and the spicy chicken was phenomenal amazing taste and spice, don't even get me started on the tenders they were even better more tastier. All in all I had a great experience with great food and lovely staff this place doesn't disappoint I would really recommend this place.Kid-friendliness: Lovely staff“
“Passed by this place a few times and had always wanted to try it. First time I tried this place I had the burger. While it's nothing too special it's not bad either. Tastes like your typical fast food burger. But the chicken sandwiches are what is good and I probably should have read up on them to have known. Service is good and the food comes quickly. The place is kept clean too which is nice.“
“This has to be the best Korean fried chicken in New York. The skin is perfectly fried to be very crispy and still be very flavorful. Service is always amazing in dining or take out. The ambiance of the store is very Korean mom and pop style so makes you feel like you are in Korea.“

“It's bigger, has more menus, and the prices are cheaper. It's a chicken restaurant, but the chicken is delicious and all the other menu items are also delicious. I recommend the tuna kimchi stew. The staff are so friendly and I go there every day.“
“Wow!!! What a cool place! We walked in out of the rain to belly up to the bar for a warming glass of bourbon and we were not disappointed. Bartender was friendly and knowledgeable, a neat pour could be had for $10-$20 and the star of the day? THE WINGS. Oh my God, seriously, the best wings I’ve had in 10 years. The sauces had a gorgeous amount of depth, flavor and heat and the snow sauce was a perfect complement. Many Gluten Free options! Can’t wait to go back!Dietary restrictions: GF options“
“Excellent customer service and fresh chicken daily! Went here several times already and love how their chicken is. My wife and I received one less chicken during a previous visit, and they wanted to make sure that they made up for it. They care about their customers and want them to come back. Their chicken and rice is very good as well. I enjoy the fresh vegetables and French fries that come with it. Will be coming again in the near future!“
“The girl at the register was very hard to understand because her accent was very foreign. I had to ask her to repeat herself often.They don't have ranch and honey mustard dipping sauces even though it says it does on the price board. I was angry about that.“
“So this is a cute spot for a celebration. It was my birthday Wednesday, and I came by to grab some drinks. How would I describe the vibe? Cozy and comfortable. Soccer games are on the tv screens inside. There are cushioned booths and chairs, and it's good for small groups or dates. I walked in on a Sunday evening around 7 PM, so we got all the attention. :) The bartenders speak Spanish. The waitstaff said that it turns up at 10 PM, so that is good to know! The menu had light foods like tacos, empanadas, and chicken wings. I had ordered a margarita and a mojito. This bar had on Reggaeton, like lots of El Gran Combo de PR, Daddy Yankee, and Bad Bunny! So I sense that it's a great spot for dancing and drinks! I would definitely go back but probably on a Friday night.“
“I usually only come here for the grape slush never actually had their food. The grape slush never disappoints. I do have to say it is a bit on the expensive side. Was almost $10 but if your like me only getting it here and there you probably would say it’s worth it. Great customer service and I will definitely order the grape again.“
“Very nice restaurant! Staffs are nice and restaurant is very clean! Their service is amazing and I didn’t have to wait for my food for too long, I would say within 5-7 minutes. And their chicken nuggets are delicious and now has became one of my faves! Gonna come back again! ?“
“Best time ever! I've been here a few times on different days and I've never been disappointed. Their food is so good. They make everything fresh in small batches daily. The Ropa Vieja (shredded stead) tastes like my grandma made it. The DJ played a nice mix of music. Something for everyone. Everyone on staff is so much fun to interact with. From the security to the bartenders, everyone is so friendly. The 'regular' patrons mingle with everyone and it feels like I'm at a friends house party. Everyone is so accommodating and we had so much fun. Def a fun spot if your in the area. Doesn't matter what day of the week it is. Mondays are wing night. I think it was like $5 for all you can eat wings.“
“I order delivery from here frequently - probably one of the best places for Korean food around LIC / Astoria. The budae jjigae is always loaded with fillings and flavorful, kimbap is delicious (though a bit overpriced) and yookgaejang is also legit. Fried chicken is tasty and fresh! Recommend if you’re looking to satisfy your Korean craving“
“It's really hard to find perfectly crispy and juicy Korean fried chicken and Rokstar definitely delivered. Amazing on all ends - even their fries and fried shrimp were fantastic! I would say I wish they had more to offer, but it's obvious that having a small menu has yielded the great result of them having mastered a supremely tasty crunch and flavor (try the chicken tossed in their Korean sweet chili sauce!). Lest I forget the portions match the price. Love love love, they are staying on my monthly rotation!“
“Very nice when I walked in the wings we had two different kinds both was amazing the fries my daughter and I 0/24 I didn’t like the customer service when I walked in. I still order my fish and chicken. I asked for blue cheese. He told me it was in the bag he gave me ranch. He was slightly rude and maybe I won’t return or maybe I’ll just come early in the day, but I don’t like the customer service on January 20, 2024 I really believe my complexion me being black is a problem. Even a customer looked at me crazy when I walked in I had my uniform on and my skin is black. I didn’t like the look, I received when I walked in from the customer and the guy who took my order“
“It was brought to my attention there was a fried chicken spot among the other stalls but I do not ever remember seeing it. When you get off the escalator, you make a diagonal line toward the left corner of the dining area. Whenever I am at the food court, I am usually on the other side most likely getting some bubble tea so that is the reason why I probably never noticed it.I had arrived somewhat early to avoid the crowd and race to save a table space but there is always a good amount of people eating at this food court. And now I am reminded of why I seldom eat there recently. This place is good for groups and families who can secure a table while others go order the food. If you are going solo, you might be walking around a little til a corner seat opens up. Luckily there was a table being cleaned up near the Chick Rocks.The employees there are very pleasant and polite overall. You use the self order kiosk or give your order to the employee at the register....especially if you are super fluent in Mandarin. I had a bad experience at a more popular chicken chain spot recently so that is always in the back of my mind unfortunately.The menu, as you guessed, is made up different chicken offerings and combinations. It may not be the healthiest option but I am always down for a good cheat meal...especially some delicious, crunchy fried chicken.I asked the manager who was by the register for some recommendations as I was a bit overwhelmed by the menu and I was there dining solo at the. Here is what I ended up ordering....-4 Piece chicken with mashed potato and mac n cheeseThis was a very satisfying combo on its own. The chicken breast and thigh had a nice crispy skin and the meat was tasty. I always have to order either a mashed potato with gravy or mac n cheese as part of a chicken combo.-Spicy chicken sandwich combo with friesAnother popular combo here. Normally I do not order spicy chicken but their version was pretty good. It did not seem too spicy for me at all. And the fries along with a plethora of their dipping sauces certainly hit the spot.- Chicken wrapThis makes a good snack. It has got a couple of pieces of boneless tender inside along with mayo and lettuce. This is something you would need to eat right away as the wrap gets soggy after a certain amount of time.-Spaghetti comboThis was not part of my original plan for odering at all. But when I saw they had it on the menu, I just knew I wanted to try it. This is not really competing with any other popular food chains that sell spaghetti yet I feel it is good enough to be on the menu at Chick Rocks because sometimes you feel like having some hot spaghetti. It comes with a few pieces of boneless chicken and the sauce they use is tasty.To wash it all down, I saw they had a mango lemonade available and I wanted something different than the usual soda pop.More and more people started ordering after I got my food so that tells me this is a popular spot around here during peak times. The important thing to remember here is that this is fast food establishment and it is located in a food court....so to get the best enjoyment out of any of their food is to order and eat right there. It was a lot of food for one person so I had to pack some leftovers to go like the spaghetti (which was still good when I reheated it) and a couple of pieces of chicken. French fries need to be eaten fresh ideally and this combo comes with a generous amount.For any establishment that offers the option to go, it should be understood that the food quality will not be the same if it has been sitting in a container or box for a while compared to being eaten when it is served hot and fresh.Writing this review really makes me sad because all that food had disappeared into my stomach and I do not know the next time I will be back at NWM. But if you are by the mall food court Chick Rocks has you covered.Props to the employees and manager who were part of making my visit a good experience along with the delicious chicken.“
“Very classic Taiwanese snacks, various fried foods! Delicious street food!The service attitude is very friendly and enthusiastic. They patiently answered all my questions. There will be a lucky draw before the Chinese New Year! discount event! !Great for takeout or pick-up!Supports multiple payment methods!Taiwan’s famous snack is indispensable: legend popcorn chicken. The meat is not dry or dry, and it is fried just right! Coated with Taiwanese flavoring!I personally recommend: Taiwanese caviar sausage, which is crispy, fragrant and full of umami!The dining environment is a bit small (^スv^)?“
“Although I gave this place five stars, it's because after trying their food on two occasions, it was enough to make me want to return. I had their fried rice and friedchicken, which was fresh when it arrived at a function which had about 100 people, and it was flavorful and not too salty. I had the leftovers as well, but it was later in the day, when it was heated up it still had the same yumminess as a few hours before that. Now, maybe it wouldn't have kept the day after, but I do plan on returning and trying whatever else is on their menu.“
“Located in Queens, K-pop music video and Korean television playing in the side, with a nice selection of beers ? Love their juicy chicken!!!Great depth of flavor in everything!!Please don’t forget try Korean Ramen and spicy rice cake!! You have to add cheese in the rice cake OMG!!- Special Combo with Spicy Rice Cake- Rice Cake Skewer- Corn & Cheese- Sausage Rice Cake- Korean Ramen“
