Been here a few times with friends and we shared a bunch of fried chicken lol. The legs and wings were huge and filling!

We had a really long day of errand runs. We were in the Fort Lee area originally and wanted some Korean fried chicken. We tried a very popular place but they had a 1 hour wait time. We were a bit too famished, so we searched for another Korean chicken place and landed ourselves here. Glad we did. Spacey, clean, cute decor, pleasant service, moderately fast food to table. We tried the half chicken- spicy soy garlic, sweet and spicy wings and soy garlic wings with fries. The fries were really good, not average. A good high quality crisp to it. All the chicken we had was very delicious. The chicken wings are good quality, cooked well and the sauces are absolutely delicious. They put an assortment of things before the meal. 2 ketchup, spicy rice cake, pickled radish, and a yolky coleslaw. Service was good but nothing that stood out. I will definitely be back for more wings, coleslaw and fries.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3.5/5 We didn't wait long for a table but food took longer than preferred (we were hungry so time may be a bit biased). Food was good, but the side dishes could be skipped.

Great communal space, almost childlike but not really, just a very relaxed atmosphere. Food is great and fairly priced. Portion wise, perfect! There's always leftovers and they never skimp out on the flavor. Staff is always very friendly regardless of the time we visit. Overall, would definitely continue to come back.

This is my second time trying chicken in North Jersey. I would definitely this spot for a consistently good chicken. The rose chicken was soooo delicious I could eat the sauce by itself. The sweet and spicy chicken was spicy if you can handle it. The soy garlic was also juicy and flavorful but a tad bit salty. They also gave us tteoboki, coleslaw, and radish for side dishes! We went with 5 people and this was more than enough. I enjoyed the inside with a interesting decor and sticky note drawings from previous customers.

One of my go-to places for chicken in Palisades Park. Food is delicious, we always get the Onion Chicken, which is perfect to share with 2-3 people and supplement with something else like bu dae jigae. We went with a group of 4 and had to wait about 15 minutes around 6:30pm to get a table, but it went by quick. Staff was friendly and place is clean and fun decor. Like everywhere in Palisades park, street paid parking is limited but there is free parking in the neighborhood streets if you want to walk further. One of my favorite places to eat at in Palisades Park, can't wait to come back!

Mama Chicken exceeded my expectations! The kimchi fried rice, sans bacon, was amazing - full of flavor. The chicken katsu was a highlight, and the sauce on top tied everything together perfectly. Overall, a delightful experience that left me impressed.

We ordered Rose Chicken, Mama's Special, and cheesy corn. The Rose chicken was quite interesting--I never thought pasta sauce would go with fried chicken. Everything was yummy. The price is reasonable. We paid $70 for the three dishes.

Wow, it was a big surprise that I haven't tried Mama Chicken after all of the years when I just passed by this place. Greeted by a super nice owner and waitress, fried chickens were very tender and small enough for one bite. It was well paired with Creamy Orions, better than pairing of the sweet radish & chickens. Onions were sliced very thin so that they worked just like scallions in Padak. It was also visually very pleasing. Three big slices onions reminded me of Korean stacks of rocks, which people make a wish for. The interior of the restaurant was interesting as well; its open ceiling was covered by wooden pallets, and suspended lights from them added 3-dimensional grids in an unique rhythm. The Wall was covered by thousands of post-its. Will try other menus soon.

Came here with a party of 8 and needed a somewhat quick dinner. Luckily we came to Mamas Chicken and were seated right away around 5PM. It wasn't busy so we didn't have to wait. We were greeted promptly and placed our order. Initially, I didn't think it would be enough for 8 of us but it was so filling! We also ordered the chicken gizzards and kimchi fried rice (not pictured). The sauces were all pretty different and the chicken was fried to perfection. The creamy onion sauce tasted similar to an Alfredo sauce, and the rose sauce tasted similar to a marinara. The chicken was all so juicy and flavorful, everyone was stuffed! I'd love to come back here if I'm craving fried chicken!
