Place will always be bussin. Crunch is immaculate even with the fries. Anything rice related I wouldn't really recommend from this place cause the rice but be feeling stale but nevertheless I always drive from all the way down in south Florida for this chicken. read more

It's been a while since I've been here, and I'm not sure why because this place is great. They've changed the service model; you used to order at the counter and then find a seat, but now you sit down first and they bring a menu to you. The service was great-everyone was friendly and fast. The interior is clean and nice, and I especially appreciate the sink in the back where you can wash your hands before or after your meal without having to go to the restrooms. For this visit, we got the sammie, which is two chicken tenders nestled between a potato roll with spicy mayo (I opted out of the pickled cucumbers). We also had Combo 1, which includes 8 wings, 4 tenders, and a choice of 2 sides. We had them tossed in yuzu lemon pepper (our favorite) and gochujang. We chose fries as one of our sides. Although I thought we had ordered another side, we only received the fries (it's been a week, so I'm not sure if I forgot to order it or if it just didn't come). Their tenders are pretty big, and the fries are delicious with a flavorful seasoning. I really love this place and will be coming back again. The prices are also very reasonable, I believe the sammie was around $7 and the Combo was $25! read more

I most say we truly enjoyed the wings and the fries. We ordered Large Wing Basket (20 Wings) made it a Combo with Kimchi Fries and a 2 dinks. The Thai Sweet Basil Chili sauce with just a hint of mild heat was awesome . On the other hand the gochujang a sweet Korean Chili sauce had a lovely medium heat accompanied by an almost maple like stickiness. Let's talk fries....I just couldn't keep my face out of them DELISH! read more

Whenever I'm in the mood for some gooood fried chicken - this spot is ALWAYS at the top of my list. They're consistently good. And I love their sauce option to toss or dip your tenders into! They all have an Asian-flare to them, and if you really want to take your meal to the next level - I would reccoemnd their loaded fries with the bulgogii beef. read more

5 Stars for absolutely delicious wings! I recently ordered a 20 piece chicken wing from Chi-Kin with the sweet soy sauce s well as a vegan sammie with waffle fries and it was the hit of my gathering. The chicken wings were truly covered in sauce and yet still kept their crispy texture despite the drive home. I got a combo of the wings and flats and everyone enjoyed them. We had some leftover and the next day they were perfect after a few mins in the toaster oven. The waffle fries, like most fries, are tough to keep crispy to-go, but a quick bake in the toaster oven was all they needed. I really appreciate that they have vegan "chicken" options so we could accommodate multiple diets with the order. Overall, a great choice for a group and I'm definitely going to be making this a habit! read more

I went out with my brother for a quick snack at a Chi-Kin restaurant across the street from the Dong-A supermarket. I was disappointed with the size of the wings which were quite large. However, the price of ten wings for $15 was reasonable compared to other places where the same amount would cost more. The loaded mess fries were not up to my expectations. I tried Tako Cheeno-loaded fries last week and found them to be much better. These fries lacked an addictive sauce, kimchi, or other toppings that would make me want to order them again. The wings got cold and were dry when we bit into them. They were not as juicy as I expected Korean fried wings to be. Moreover, the texture of the flour coating was quite thick, and the Thai basil chili sauce was a bit salty. Fortunately, I ordered a side of pickled radish, which was quite small and cost $3 for half the amount of a palm. We placed our order through a kiosk, and the person behind the counter gave us our drink cups without saying anything. The kiosk asked for a tip, but I was unsure why we would be tipping if we were getting our own utensils and drinks. Despite this, I put a 10% tip on the order. If this was a full-service restaurant, with at least a warm greeting or a thank you for our patronage, I would have put a 20% tip. The music was Korean and trending, but it didn't appeal to me. I'm not sure why I'm feeling negative today, but walking into the restaurant without being acknowledged, and not even a smile, brought my good vibes down. read more

Chi Kin is a local Korean fried chicken fast casual restaurant in Mills District area. They've been around for a few years and have developed a pretty good reputation around the city. Atmosphere is almost one of an industrial one maybe this is due to the steel paneling laid across the walls. Pretty ample space in there enough to hold a decent amount of folks even some larger parties potentially. You can choose to order from the kiosk as soon as you enter or if you're dining in a waiter will come by and take your order. I ordered the chicken sandwich with waffles fries and had the chicken tossed in buffalo sauce. I was pretty disappointed in what I got.... The chicken lacked any sort of crisp what so ever to it, almost had a texture of a chik fila sandwich. The buffalo sauce did it's best to provide flavoring but ultimately it was a bit bland. The waffle fries had crisp but it looked as if the oil they were fried in hadn't been changed in some time, had a bit of an oily residue to them. The bottom line, I was pretty disappointed in what I got and now a days just because something has positive feedback on social media it doesn't mean much. I may have just gotten them on the wrong day and things were off but I did have high hopes especially since I love chicken sandwiches and it just didn't live up to the bill. read more

I've been coming to Chi-kin for a long time, back when they initially started back in 2019 & it's sad to say it's only declined in the quality of what they are serving & with a rather big increase in price. Today I went back after many months of going elsewhere because of my last experience & I was reminded of why I don't visit often, the wings are only now ever super small & the beef on the bulgogi beef fries is never more than half of what it use to be. Just upsetting. read more

Chi-Kin is my absolute favorite spot for Korean fried chicken. It's honestly one of the first places i recommend to people in the orlando area. It's the only place I crave when I'm in the mood for wings. The chicken is always crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the flavors never disappoint. I usually get the Sweet Gochujang and Lemon Pepper--perfect balance of sweet and spicy with the Gochujang, and the Lemon Pepper is super lemony, which I'm all about. Plus, the place itself is adorable it's super spacious with a chill vibe. read more

I know I have been very slow to try them out. I had to stop at the Strand to get a gift card for someone and since it was next door to we checked then out menu. We left order a 10 piece chicken with hot home and sweet goguchan sauces on the side along with a side of kimchi fried rice. I wish we had taken the plunge earlier because the wings were excellent as were the sauces. The fry was great and the drums. It were meaty. The prices were very reasonable hour only disappointment was that they did not have the ttbokke (sp). I guess they only have it at their Windemere location but I'm hoping they get it there soon because there's a variety including just with cheese or you can get it with chicken and cheese or kimchi and cheese. You get the picture. Worth another try either for more wings or maybe their bimibap bowls. read more

The food is excellent. The flavor of the fried Korean wings are out of this world. So crunchy and tasty. The Hot Mess Fries with Kimchi are elite as well.

Excellent Korean fried chicken spot with bone in and boneless options as well as bowls, loaded fries, and other options if (for some reason) you're not feeling fried chicken.

Overall we enjoyed the vibe and food at Chi-Kin! The staff we interacted with were amazing and super willing to walk us through the menu and their offerings. We ended up getting a House Chi-Kin Sammies and the Bulgogi Beef Fries. I really enjoyed the chicken sandwich and you can choose the sauce that they use! The slaw was really tasty and the spiciness of the sauce provided a really great sweet/spicy flavor. We were not as impressed with the bulgogi fries. While the meat and sauce were tasty, there was no where near enough toppings for the fries and the portion was very small overall for $5.50. I would definitely try Chi-Kin again as their food was tasty, but it definitely did not rank as one of my top restaurants in the Mills 50 area. read more

I stopped by for lunch on Friday, November 11, 2022. I've been to this restaurant on previous occasions and all my interactions have been positive. On this particular day, I opted for their lunch special which included five Sweet Soy wings, a scoop of rice and a drink. My order was at my table within minutes and soon enough I was in my happy place. The wings had a crispy, well seasoned exterior with a juicy, tender, succulent interior. Hands-down a tasty chicken wing. Paired with the rice, I was in comfort food heaven. Definitely a place I would recommend others to try out and judge for themselves. read more

What a disappointment going into chi kin now. When they were first getting started, there was no better place to get wings. Great food, sides and decent prices. I went in there today after a bit of not going (couple years) and was appalled. Just 10 wings is 17$ and fries are 7$! I got a 10 wings fries and drink (the fountain drink is 12 ounces lol) and it was just under $27. Worst part? NO DIPPING INCLUDED! So if you want some ranch or blue cheese, you are now out $30 for 10 wings fries and a drink. And the employees seem to think it's amazing that dips aren't included. What a great way to nickle and dime customers on already expensive food. So sad to see what this place has become! read more

The best place to eat chicken tenders! They're massive, I eat two and I'm full. Love the sauces and dry seasoning, the lemon pepper has me in an absolute chokehold. Ordering is super easy on the screens at the front and the orders come up super fast. Chi-Kin is in a fantastic location but parking can be a bit hard to come by. I normally parallel park on a nearby side street. I've ordered from here 4 times and will keep coming back. Can't wait to try the bulgogi fries next! read more

The food here is great! The gochujang sauce is the best and the wings are amazing! The Combo 1 is a great meal to share with another person!

The location for this restaurant was great. I loved the dual restaurant concept with Chi-Kin and Side Chick in the same brick and mortar. I ordered 10 wings (half buffalo and half sweet Gochujang) and a bulgogi rice bowl. The best part of the meal was the sweet gochujang wings which were saucy, sticky, sweet, and crispy. Unfortunately that's where the good experience ended. The buffalo wings were soggy and barely warm and the rice bowl was below room temperature. The cheese on the rice bowl had congealed and the beef bulgogi was tasteless and dry. Aside from the glaring food errors the dining room was handled by one weary server on a Monday evening. I waited for almost 10 minutes before even being greeted and asked for a drink order. Ultimately, I was led to believe this place was THE spot for superior chicken wings. Maybe it was an off day for them, but the food industry is a performance business as well and you're only as good as your last performance. I hate that my experience went this way, but I've got other wing spots I can frequent. read more

Used to be truly great. But then they made some questionable business decisions (separating the restaurant into two different parts with different offerings) and allowed the quality to slowly decline. The bulgogi beef used to be fresh and vibrant, but in our latest visit, it tasted old and bland. The chicken tenders themselves have held up the best over time, but even they aren't what they once were. This place feels like a passion project from someone who has lost their passion. read more

Number #1 place to visit for Korean fried chicken in Orlando. I have been going to this place constantly since they have opened up. I generally get the same thing but I have tried almost about everything on the menu. The staff have always been super friendly since I have been going but recently they switched out their register for online registers so it is more convenient. One thing that is a must is always the fries. The waffle fries are super crispy and always fresh. I would order the combo fries with all the toppings and kimchi. It is one of my favorites but it is also a meal in itself. The top sauces I would get for my Korean fried chicken would be the sweet gochujang and spicy honey. They are both not on the spicy side. Ones I would not recommend is sesame flavored one. I think there are other places that do it better and it isn't the best one on the menu. All the other flavors such as thai chili are also great. The interior decorations are funny. I like the rustic look and also the funny puns that surround the place. There is also a cute mural outside if you want to take pics. One issue is parking. Parking is hard to find and it might be a walk. I would recommend parking behind poke Hana (there is a large parking lot). And then walking. read more

This is a super cute, fast spot for a quick lunch or dinner. Portion sizes are quite generous so you're definitely not going to leave hungry. I tried a few different sauces and I wish they packed a bit more flavor. A few almost felt like they came directly from a bottle and lacked the full punch I was expecting. Lastly, while the chicken is good, I was hoping it had a bit more breading and the extra crunchy crisp. read more

This was so much better a year or two ago. Prices have surged, portions have shrank (especially for meat for upgraded fries), and now they want to try to be "Mexican fusion" and a sit down place. Service was very slow this day. They wouldn't allow us to order on the kiosks but had to sit and wait a probably 10 minutes or more to order when it wasn't busy as we came at an off time. We wanted to try something off the Mexican fusion line, but don't waste your time. We ordered to kimchi queso and it was a tiny side cup of queso with a piece of kimchi on top. Not even steeped or blended. It was insane the price for the poor attempt at a fusion. The hot gochuchang is always a crowd pleaser, but wouldn't recommend the fries anymore. We got the fries with the bulgogi and it was dry, hardly any sauce, and a sprinkling of beef. Very disappointing in how things have changed. They should go back to the order yourself, seat yourself, fast casual spot they were. read more

Location has parking right out front (on the street), unsure if there is parking around the back. Ordered using a kiosk, minimal interaction with staff other than when your food is delivered to you. Restaurant was clean, appreciated the communal sink to wash your hands. One unisex bathroom. I ordered the wing with waffle fries lunch special with the Sweet Gochujang-Sweet Korean Chilli Sauce while my husband ordered the tenders with waffle fries tossed in the Gochujang-Traditional Korean Chilli Sauce. Both with medium heat, but the medium was still too spicy for me. The flavor was great, the chicken was not as juicy, but still pretty good. My husband really liked his tenders. He's a spicy food guy so he enjoyed his meal. The fries were nothing to write home about, pretty standard waffle fries. They do have blue cheese available for an additional .50 cents. read more

You can't go wrong with korean fried chicken. Its been always one of my favorite and I crave for it once in a while. I saw this place while driving by and I knew we had to try it. The place is spacious and the set up is simple and convenient. We sat down and a server came to get our order then it came in like less than 15 minutes. Me and my husband was impressed. They also have self service soda, sauces, paper plates & sink to wash hands. We got the family combo 2 and it can feed 4-6 people so its perfect for us family of 5. It comes with 15 wings, 6 tenders and 3 sides for $38 which I think is a pretty good deal. You can pick up to 3 sauces so we had yuzu lemon pepper, sweet gochujang & sweet soy. Chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy and tasty. We had rice, fries and kimchi for the sides. Besides fried chicken they also have a lot more in the menu. Everything was so good. I highly recommend! read more

Taste (7/10): My order was 3pc tender & Kimchi Fries and I enjoyed the lemon pepper sauce as added flavor to the chicken with Thai Chili sauce on side to dip, which I highly recommend if you're a fan of sweet & spicy sauces. Both flavors were supplemental to the chicken, in my opinion. I'm a huge fry guy, so you can't go wrong with any choice of fries here. No complaints on the taste except my personal preference of boneless chicken not being as crispy as I like my fries. Appearance (6/10): The chicken was not overly sauced and I consider it a fair portion of fries for the meal. Personally, I could always go for more toppings but as you can see on the pic I've added it was still appetizing. Value (7/10): $12 for this meal & drink during lunch does not include my $2 upgrade for Kimchi fries & extra sauce. General (4/5): If you like chicken & fries combo with a twist on the taste and presentation (loaded fries) I think you'll enjoy this spot. read more

I've had this multiple times and they never cease to impress me every single time. I have never dined in there and today I picked it up on the way home after i placed it on Uber eats. It was very clean inside and had plenty of seating. The ambiance gives off a modern/basic vibe inside. The service was great I would say they made the order in about 10 mins. The tenders are always cooked perfectly through and the breading with the Thai Chiki sauce is serious the best ever. The fries are the topping on the cake to me. It always comes with a huge portion of fries and beef that is smothered in a Spicy Aioli, sesame seeds and green onions. If you're looking for some delicious feel good food then definitely need to make your next stop here. read more

We were excited to try Korean fried chicken. First, when we walked on we were greeted but, didn't know you had the choice to dine in or order to go. We ended up with a to go order but wanted to dine in. We ordered a 20 piece meal with sides of the bulgogi fried rice, and fries. The fries were typical waffle fried, the fried rice was a little too salty. Our chicken was in one box despite choosing 2 different flavors. There was a lot of breading on the chicken.

So I've been slowly but surely trying to explore all the best places in Orlando. Word on the street was that Chi-Kin had some of the best Korean food in the city. The street being the fine readers of Orlando Weekly. So I decided to come by and pick up some takeout to see what the fuss was all about. I shared three things. First of all, of course, the Chi-Kin Wings, a small wings basket (10pcs), split into two flavors. Looking back, I can't exactly remember what two flavors they were. But I remember that these wings were banging. That crispy crispy exterior you expect from Korean wings. Something about that exterior makes the sauce adhere so well. These wings were definite five star wings and are a must-have. The second thing was the Chi-Kin Sammy, Dipped in a sauce. There are few things better than a saucy, crispy chicken sandwich. Very thick and juicy, with some pickles for a pop of acid. The bun was a little uninspired, very buttery and soft, but I want a bun with a little more heft to it. I got it in a combo, and upgraded my waffle fries to Bulgogi Beef Waffle Fries. Waffle fries topped with bulgogi and melty cheese. Sounded great to me. Disappointing in reality, though. Definitely not the ratio of toppings I was promised in the menu picture. And for dessert, I could not say no to the Fried D'OhBoys (topped with sweetened condensed milk and whipped cream). These were very good! Fried to a perfect crisp and chewy in the middle. The balls themselves weren't inherently sweet, thank goodness, so the sweetness than the milk and the cream brough were very nice. Overall, this was really nice. The wings were truly top notch, so if I'm ever in the Mills 50 area and need wings right now, I'm gonna swing by for sure! read more

Food 3/5. I ordered the chicken tenders, fried chicken wings, Bulgogi Chicken Fries, kimchi radish, kimchi fried rice and 5 sauces. I'm not sure about how much further I can elaborate on the sauces as they weren't labeled. The chicken tenders were tasty, not nothing out of the ordinary to me. The fried chicken wings felt similar to those from Publix which wasn't anything that stood out. The Bulgogi Chicken Fries were the best things. The chicken was tender and very flavorful, the fries were waffle and head up nicely to the sauces. The radish and fried rice were okay, nothing to great in my opinion. Service: 1/5. I entered and saw the computer screen where I ordered. It felt like pretty standard, which was interesting is the part where it asked for a tip and no one assisted you. The person from the front brought the meal and I inquired which sauces are which. She said I don't know, I should have labeled them and walked off. It kind of irritated me not knowing which was which when tasting them. Ambiance 4/5. It's a cool place, gives me a nice laid back vibe. It has a chicken theme with some puns and the chairs remind me of a farmhouse / barn style. There is ample seating for groups with tables of 4 and singles with 2. I'm not sure if I'd want to return, but it was something worth visiting because I was told to. read more
