Ma’ono Fried Chicken

Ma’ono is inside Rachel ginger beer.
Good combo! Ginger beer and chicken! I’ve been wanting to eat here for some time and I’m so glad I did! I went with the chicken tenders and they are huge! 3 to an order and I only ate 2 and took the other one home.
They were so good and there was so much chicken I couldn’t even believe it.
I think they are known for spicy chicken so I went with the mild.
The mild still had a kick to it but dipped in ranch and it was just right.
We were trying to figure out what side dish to get and wanted to try something different so the employee talked us into the Mac & Kimcheese.
I was hesitant cause I wasn’t too sure about Kimcheese.
I’m glad I tried it but dang it was so spicy for my taste buds cause I’m a baby.
The two bites I had were a good flavor but couldn’t handle the heat.
Took it home to the husband and he enjoyed it.
Great spot for a group inside and the place opens up to the outside on warm days.

Hands down THE BEST chicken sandwich I’ve had in my life (not kidding).
There’s something about this place… their fried sandwich is just *chef’s kiss* I always recommend Ma’ono if I’m in Uvillage and need a quick bite to eat, but I definitely want to stop by their other locations too!! You have to order the fries separately and the side of pickles, then get a drink from Rachel’s Ginger Beer while you’re waiting.
I will say their chicken is definitely on the oilier side…it’s notttt the healthiest, but I guess we are talking about fried chicken here lol. I always order my chicken “mild” which still has a little kick to it, the perfect amount in my opinion.
You can customize everything to your liking and add different side options.
Definitely stop by if you’re in the area!

Had wanted to try this place for quite some time.
Opportunity arrived and we were very excited to receive the food.
Huge disappointment awaited, unfortunately.
The fried chicken flavor was not great and the skin was not crunchy.
The chicken legs weren’t cooked all the way yet and the meat still pink, dripping red juice in one even.
The pickles tasted very strong and harsh.
Service lacking since the only available server was busy serving food and not be able to clean up tables.
If you have a business model of self-serve, made available of trash bins and cleaning wipes for patrons at least.
You also need to wait in two separate lines to order food and a simple soda.
