Full Review-Yes

Okay when most people say KFC they might have colonel sanders jump into their mind or red and white stripes in general.  But when Mad For Chicken is in play KFC is no longer fast food but a secret Korean Fried Chicken recipe that is just soy garlic combo tasty.  A friend brought me to this late night bar spot and said you have to try this chicken man it’s the real KFC.  I was game the decor is trendy and Asian and that is just the inside.  To find the sign you might need to be across the street since they are a second floor spot common for little Korea town.  So you walk into this less than classy office building only to be glanced over by a security guard only to be asked chicken?

He pointed behind him to what I thought was the elevator to my surprise it was the shady looking walk up some old rickecty stairs into this lavish hot spot.  I was told to order the soy garlic combo and the waiter assured me I had made the right choice.  He was even so gracious to offer us a leeche soiju to get our party more excited.  They first brought out the Soju which is Korean sake.  They have many flavors but the leeche is the best by far so don’t think outside the box unless you have at least tried it.  We were given a round of free to make sure we were convinced since my brother wanted the peach.  I was pleased with the unanimous decision the leeche was the best.

The buddy who brought us there was going on and on about this beer dispenser they had that keeps the beer cold and has a tap on it.  I have been to quite a few places in Europe that have the big tubes of beer but this had lights and a cooling system, it was like a hardcore gaming nerds PC with beer in it.  It was late to get a bunch of people to drink that much booze but I will return for the challenge no questions asked.

So the place is nice they had fancy drinks but what about the chicken right?  Well……all I can say is you must simply try it yourself.  It stands out as unique in flavor and crunch.  The skin and the meat become one and the sweetness is so sweet you would lick the outside of a drumstick like a loli pop.  I do apologize for that questionable visual but this is not a place to just order wings.  This is something new and it has it’s own magic you must much on with friends over some drinks.

This place is on 32nd and 5th ave look for the 2nd floor sign in the window.  It is open till 4am daily with chicken being served only after 12am.  It takes 30 minutes to prepare a batch but trust me have a few drinks and chill because it is so worth the wait.  Fresh and crunchy….These Koreans have me Mad For Chicken.
