We ordered the SOY-GARLIC CHICKEN with a side of white rice to-go, and it didn't even make it home. We opened the bag, drizzled the soy sauce over the white rice, grabbed a super glazed chicken wing, and immediately began to devour it--lol. The wings and chicken legs were a nice size, very flavorful, and perfectly crispy. read more

Came here because my boyfriend needed a haircut and this place was right next door. Very small place with 1 server who is very attentive. We decided to share a noodle and a KFC. The jajangmyeon was pretty good and can't complain. Nothing special and nothing bad about it. We got the chili KFC and this is totally our fault. It was SO spicy. It was the Buldak spicy noodle level kind of spicy. My boyfriend expected it to be just a kick but it was VERY spicy. I took it home and shredded it to make a chili fried rice haha. The taste itself was very good though. read more

Solid joint. I've gotten doordash pickup once and eaten in once. I like that for delivery at least they have a combo of the chicken and the jajangmyeon, the namesake of the restaurant lol. Plain chicken itself was pretty good! Very light crispy batter, similar to how some fish and chip places do it. Def better fresh! No complaints on the jajangmyeon. Maybe not as good as Paik's, but I haven't had them side by side to compare. Nothing bad to say about the service either. An interesting thing of note though when ordering the "iced tea" - they gave a premade cup of ice where the ice was all fused together... so had to wait a bit for the ice to melt before drinking, it was impossible to poke a straw through! The restaurant itself was pretty small, very casual vibe. It didn't have very many people inside the times I've gone (dinnertime). I've yet to go there late at night though, maybe it's more crowded then since it's one of the only places open late? Good to have it as an option though! read more

Was able to get a seat quickly for a table of 4! Didn't have too much music playing so we felt a little loud talking. The food came super fast. The kimchi fried rice was really flavor full with spam and kimchi and a ring of egg on the hot plate (5/5). The jajangmyeon was a huge portion and flavor was decent (3.5/5). The fried chicken was great and crispy (4/5). Would definitely come back if I'm shopping the plaza. read more

Came here with my twin brother, in search of some jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles), but when we saw our neighboring table's jjajang rice...we were intrigued...but we got the elevated version aka the jjajang FRIED rice baby!

The food and service were excellent! We ordered the gan-jajang, soy garlic chicken, original chicken, and jajangmyeon, and everything was delicious. I highly recommend the gan-jajang over the jajangmyeon--it's a richer and more satisfying option if you're craving Korean black bean noodles. The restaurant is quite small, but it's definitely worth a visit for the excellent food and friendly service. read more

Chick & Jajang - Soy garlic & original fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Daly City, California

Well...I typically enjoy coming to Chick & Jajang, but today's lunch experience with mom was a departure from what I have experienced. We arrived early to beat the lunch rush, yet somehow, being the first in the door didn't translate to being served. S E R V I C E : The service today was, frankly, bizarre. Despite the restaurant being quiet, we were left sitting without water or the standard banchan. I found myself repeatedly having to flag down staff. What made it particularly jarring was watching patrons at surrounding tables receive "white-glove," speedy service (and even a pitcher of water!) while we were left seemingly invisible. The recurring theme of the afternoon was the staff's refrain: "Oh, we have a new menu, sorry!" As an experienced diner, I can appreciate the growing pains of a menu launch, but three new dishes shouldn't paralyze a team's ability to pour water or bring a check. It felt like a convenient scapegoat for a lack of attentiveness. F O O D: The food was strictly "middle of the road" this visit. There was a notable lack of precision in the kitchen; we ordered the chili chicken, but it was served as the original. Rather than a proper redo, the sauce was simply brought out on the side. It's a functional fix, but I would've just asked for all the sauces on the side then if that was the case. (I didn't want to push my luck in case something would happen in the back of the kitchen to our food) Anyway...I'm all about supporting local spots, but the optics today were not great. When you see every other table being served while you're struggling to get the bill, it's hard not to feel like you're nothing. If you're rolling out a new menu, the hospitality needs to be tightened. I'm hoping this was just a one-off "off" day, but for now, the experience left a bit of an off putting taste. read more

Service is great and they offer kimchi / radish sides that are refillable upon request! Weekday dine in is relatively light so you'll be seated almost immediately. JaJjangmyeon (Korean black bean noodles) was very top tier!.... Besides the popcorn chicken that was literally in a pool of "soy garlic sauce". I've always had good experiences here but for some reason they decided to not just toss the marinate into a bowl to mix with the chicken but pour it directly on parchment paper that'll just create a mess for the server after the meal? Yeah... that needs to be fixed! I'll definitely be coming back for the noodles but that's pretty much it. I'm kind of scared to go back for their Korean fried chicken (bone-in) if that's how they'll make this read more

Waiter walked up and offered us any table we wanted. Super friendly guy, memorized our order. Nice and simple, hearty and tasty. The side soup of jampong was only $3. Well worth the price for all that flavor and there was plenty of substance in it. The fried chicken was super juicy and crisp. The glaze was perfect and there's plenty of it on the bottom to dip into. Kimchi fried rice was solid. Place looks like an old school donut shop with a couple booths and a bench along the side. One of my fave spots at westlake. Will be coming back read more

I love the convenience of it being in the Westlake plaza and the service is quick and friendly. Pretty solid spot for jajangmyun and tangsooyuk. Huge points for sauce on side as default for tangsooyuk for dipping so the pork strips stay crispy. read more

The inside was smaller than expected with 4 booth seats and 4 tables on the opposite side. It looked like a small diner. The service was excellent, the server was pretty attentive and had good suggestions when we asked about the menu items. I'm not sure if that was because we were seated at the booth right next to the register/kitchen. The food takes awhile to prep so we got our dishes in intervals. We ordered the fried dumplings, which were ok, but our daughter seemed to like them. We also got the plain chicken katsu for our daughter which was pretty good and a sizable portion. My husband had the Ja-Jang-Myeon and he said it was ok. I had the Rose Spicy Rice Cake and added cheese. Luckily it wasn't too spicy for me because I'm weak when it comes to spicy food, but it was also just ok flavor-wise. I wasn't too impressed with it. I think I was half expecting it to have more tteok-bokki, but there was only a few in it. But the real star of this place was the Korean Fried Chicken. We got the sauce on the side because our daughter prefers hers plain, but it was so good! Nice and crunchy and the inside of the chicken was pretty juicy. That was probably my favorite thing we had here. We also loved the grape and watermelon iced teas. The grape was a little sweeter than the watermelon but still good. Overall this place was ok. read more

After going to a concert at Shoreline we decided to get some Korean fried chicken and one of the spots still open was Chick and Jajang in Daily city. The restaurant is decently sized with quite a few tables inside and we were seated instantly. The lighting is quite bright inside the restaurant so it definitely woke us back up. We decided to order the Soy & Garlic KFC which is 7 pc for $14.95, and we also decided to order the Chicken katsu as well as a peach Korean tea, and everything smacked! The chicken was incredibly juicy and crispy with the perfect amount of sweetness in every bite of the sauce and the katsu was incredibly fatty and delicious. This was also my first time trying out Korean peach tea and it was incredibly strong and tasted like I was eating a peach mixed with oolong. Very delicious! read more

Back to this place for lunch in Daly City. The Korean fried chicken was sooo good. The back bean noodles, or Ja-Jang-Myu, have always been consistent. The Carbonara Spicy Rice Cake has the perfect amount of spice. The fried seaweed roll was surprisingly. The service was ok, just had to move the table and sat directly in front of the door. The ambiance is always the same, but the key is that the food is consistent. read more

Been here soo many times and also got food doordashed from here. They keep the jjangmyeon fresh when you get it doordash and they also include side dishes with the online order so thats pretty nice. There has not been one time where I didn't order the jjangmyeon. It's good every single time. The soy garlic chicken is also pretty good. It's just your regular soy garlic though, nothing out of this world. I probably would not get the jjang fried rice again. It was overwhelming for me. There were too many flavors going on. It's pretty quiet in the restaurant (at least the times I've been). I like how close they late. Been here after a rave and it rejuvenated me lol. Definitely a good pick-me-up spot. read more

Cute small spot for korean fried chicken & other korean comfort food! We tried the fried chicken (soy & garlic and another flavor) and the half jjampong half jjajangmyeon. Everything was pretty good! I enjoyed the jjajangmyeon a lot. The jjampong was a little too spicy for me but the ingredients were yummy and diverse (squid, onion, mussels, noodles, pork, bok choy). The chicken breading was pretty thick and it's a little expensive ($17 for 7 pc). Service was great and super friendly. It took a little longer since it was only one person walking around but it wasn't too bad. A decent amount of seating inside as well. They also do takeout! read more

- Ja-jang myeon: 3/5. Flavor was good but the noodles weren't chewy and didn't have any bite to it. - Soy & garlic chicken wings: 4/5. Good flavor and crispy. - Honey & cheese chicken wings: 4/5. I really liked this flavor. It tastes like the cheese powder at Potato Corner. It's a small spot and service was friendly but a bit slow. I wish they had boneless options for the fried chicken. read more

Came here with a group of seven for dinner on a Saturday, and seating was definitely limited. Thankfully one of us arrived a bit early to grab a table, because after around 6-6:30pm a line started forming outside. I ordered the ganjjajang, which I was trying for the first time. The portion was HUGE and the texture of the noodles was good, but the sauce just wasn't as flavorful as I'd hoped -- probably more of a personal preference than a fault with the dish itself. We also ordered a spicy tteokbokki to share, and I definitely enjoyed that one a lot more -- the spice level is also not very high so if you're not good with spice, you would probably still be able to eat this one compared to other places. Service was okay - everything came out in a timely manner but it's definitely more of an "ask and you will receive" vibe. read more

2025 update. The fried chicken is still great at Chick & Jajang. The owner is a good guy. I once saw him give a free meal to a homeless man. This time I had their soy & garlic fried chicken $18, (7 pieces) and Korean fried rice $17. The fried rice was served on a bed of egg on top of a cast iron plate. This was a beautiful dish. Too bad the egg is dry because of the cast iron plate and the rice was a bit bland. It needed some Chinese white pepper but it wasn't available. They did have this red pepper shaker at the table. In terms of environment, plenty of tables at 6:30pm on a Wednesday. It was unfortunate that were two loud girls eating there. The restaurant is small and their voices protruded through the background Korean pop music. Also, it was uncomfortably hot in there. My forehead broke a sweat eating. My hands were sticky from the fried chicken glaze and I had to avoid wiping my face. Enough was enough. I took my food to-go after eating there for 10 mins. Service was excellent. read more

Our visit to Chick & Jajang was very pleasant and tasty! Small-ish restaurant and simply decorated but nice casual atmosphere. Service was quick and polite. Prices are reasonable and quality overall is very good. We ordered Plain Chicken with sauce on the side. Very crunchy and juicy. Ja-Jang-Mein was luscious and mildly flavored. Tonkatsu was crispy along with rice and salad. Very appetizing. Definitely worth coming back to try other menu items. read more

Walked into this lovely little restaurant with a group of 6 around 9:30pm and they luckily had room for us. There was only one person we saw working and she was so sweet, she got us settled in right away and brought us water and tea while we looked over the menu. We didn't feel rushed at all and she even helped us with some recommendations when we did order to make sure we had enough food for family style. As for the food itself? DELICIOUS. Definitely coming back again. We ordered two types of fried chicken (soy garlic and honey cheese), jajang myeon noodles, Korean fried rice, ttebkoki, and fried dumplings. Everything we tried was sooo good, I don't think I could pick a favorite. So glad we found this late night spot at Westlake center and we'll be back again soon! read more

Came here for Friday lunch with my cousin and had a wonderful experience. The banchan and hot tea arrived quickly, and the service was perfect--attentive yet unobtrusive, fast but unhurried. We ordered the jjajangmyeon, kimchi fried rice, and the soy sauce and garlic chicken. The chicken was the absolute star of the show--I loved it so much I came back the next day to buy a whole order for myself! The kimchi fried rice was a bit too spicy for my personal preference (I'll try the spam fried rice next time), but everything was high quality and beautifully presented. It gets busy with the takeout crowd later in the hour, so arriving right at noon was perfect. read more

I love eating here. Even better that they're open until 1am when most restos close around 8:30-9pm in Westlake. I love that they give you barley tea to warm you right up. My go-to's would be the plain fried chicken with jajangmyeon. Can't go wrong there. I mix it up sometimes and try the other flavors. Just depends on how I'm feeling that day. I really like the honey and cheese flavor! Not too sweet, just yum. Ordered the fried dumplings once and the filling was cold. Ordered the tonkatsu with their rose sauce, loved the sauce! Hoping they'd add curry to their menu. (Iykyk rip Tani's)... Anywho, I was also fixated on their ganjajang with squid at one point and would request them to make it spicy hehe. As for leftovers, I love adding my spicy powder from my home to the jajangmyeon and eating it with the fried chicken. Perfection. read more

First off, this might be biased because I love this place! Their Korean fried chicken is the best. We can't come here without getting a 7 piece of soy-garlic. The batter stays so crunchy even with the glaze sitting on it the entire time we're eating. It can be so hard finding wings that maintain their crunchy coating. The best part is they offer gloves (you have to ask) so your fingers don't get sticky. I also love getting their half jjamppong/half jajangmyeon. This is always done well too. No matter what dish you get here, the flavors are always on point. It is a small restaurant so at times it can get busy pretty fast but getting there early evening is good or kinda late is ideal if you want to sit down faster. read more

We been meaning to check this place out since it opened, but put it off till we were returning something at Home Depot. So we came for a late bite and the restaurant was 1/2 full. We were able to grab a table without a problem. The place is clean, but no frills in terms of decor. Service is average. They start you off with a few sides of ban chan and tap water. Most places give you filtered water. This tasted like chlorine. Yuck! ***OUR PICKS*** JA-JANG-MYUN ~ homemade noodles in black bean sauce with pork, cabbage, onion, and zucchini. Like most ja-jang-myun, the sauce is a bit sweet. The noodles didn't taste homemade. Maybe it's fresh noodles and not dried, but it's too uniformed to be "homemade"? Please forgive me if I'm wrong! It was more soft than chewy. We thought it was a bit overcooked. Everything was soft, so there's no contrast in textures. Just mushy. 3/5 FRIED CHICKEN WINGS ~ Honey and cheese, this was sweet and salty. The batter is pretty thick and chicken pieces were sizable. However, prices are steep for what you're getting. I've paid a little extra to get nearly double elsewhere, so I was expecting a lot. They were crispy and tasty, but I'm not sure if 7 for $18 is worth it. But they were good, just questioning whether or not I'd come back given the price tag. 3.5/5 I guess because this spot is open late, they can charge that much for chicken wings. But if you're looking for wings during the early evening, you'd find a better deal elsewhere. I'm on the fence about coming back. I'll update my review if I do! read more

Love that it is open so late and easy to get to. Small restaurant but very great korean fried chicken for your LA to SF transplants missing ktown. What I will say is that while the chicken was immaculately fried -- juicy inside with a crispy, airy batter -- the sauces themselves were not my favorite. The soy garlic had an odd spice I couldn't name... five spice maybe, or cinnamon? Either way, it threw me off. I enjoyed the hot and spicy one though! Beware that the spice does creep up on you and had me basically panting by the end. Overall, I'd come back another time to try other flavors and their jajangmyeon, but definitely prefer some of my OC/LA korean fried chicken places still! read more

Tasty comfort food is very satisfying. Tried the katsu and it was very well seasoned and flavorful. The rice complimented the chicken, and the salad had a nice tangy dressing. Overall, the katsu plate was enjoyable. The jajang with noodle was delicious. The noodles would be pretty good on its own, they were perfectly Al dente. The jajang sauce made the noodles pop with flavor. Protip, don't add all of the sauce, I think it's better with light sauce because it's a bold sauce. read more

This spot is so good! We ordered jajang myeon, rose spicy rice cake, and half and half original chicken and soy & garlic chicken. The jajang myeon was good but a little too sweet for my liking, the kfc was perfectly made so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Surprisingly, my favorite thing we ordered was the rose spicy rice cake. I am normally not the biggest rice cake person but this sauce was so delicious and the rice cakes were so perfectly cooked they ended up being my favorite. If you want some yummy kfc and noodles this is definitely the spot for you. Food was so good I forgot to take pics! read more

Came here for the wings! We got the soy garlic flavor and their chili flavor. We got 14 pieces. It of course came with some banchan. I just tried a bite of the chili ones and that was way to spicy for me, so I'd highly recommend if you like spicy food. The soy garlic ones are like glazed in honey? which makes it super sticky. It was a bit to sweet for me, I'd probably just stick with the original next time. The radish definitely helps cut the sweetness. read more

The restaurant is quite small with limited seating but since I came at a very odd hour, seating was not an issue. I tried the wings and cream jjam bbong. The wings were very good and well fried. The skin is very crispy while the inside remains juicy. Even when I took these home to reheat in my air fryer, it was still good the next day and still had crispy parts. I'm ready to try the other flavors. As for the cream jjam bbong, it was something new. Flavor wise, it really was creamy and heavier compared to the standard. Its not a bad thing but it's definitely new and worth a try for everyone especially since I'm running out of new things to eat and need something new in my life. In addition, the portions of this bowl were extremely large. I was able to eat this for a few meals. It maybe a combination of the cream and the bowl size but considering the amount of money spent, it was definitely worth it. I'll be back for more! read more
