    6/10 got the Korean BBQ chicken with noodles. The chicken itself was okay, decent flavor but nothing super memorable. The noodles, though, were not good at all. They were drenched in soy sauce to the point where it was hard to eat, way too salty and overpowering. I definitely would not order the noodles again. If you come here, I'd suggest getting rice instead. Overall, it was an okay meal, but not something I'd go out of my way for again.

    Service was nice and no long wait for food. I tried the Philly and chicken bowl. Philly was standard, not the best, not the worst. The bowl is a nice concept but was not good. The chicken was grilled nicely with light flavor but the noodles were mushy and bad tasting which ruined the whole thing for me. Also the cabbage and kimchi didn't make it any better. If there were different toppings it would be better

    Not sure if what I ordered was the wrong thing? But was not impressed. I had the food delivered, not sure if that made a difference. Will give them another try soon.

    Came here during my lunch time. I order the Large Bowl Combo - (Bowl, 6 wings, & drink) $20.49 4/5 stars. I choose Salad Pork Bowl with Korean BBQ Flavor bone in wings. The restaurant is on 1960 (by Willowbrook Mall area) and it looks kinda run down. But the food was good. I called to place my order and went through the drive thru for pick up. A quick and yummy lunch meals. Everything was flavorful.

    The Chimac location off 290 and Barker is delicious, and this Chimac location is no different! Amazing, tasty, unique food with great service. Love all of the bowls, wings, chicken... everything is great.

    I have driven by here so many times, finally decided to stop by and try it out. You walk in and orde at the counter. The restaurant itself was pretty small and they did have a lot of take out and delivery orders. The staff is nice but we did wait a while for our food. Once it arrived we did enjoy the sauce flavors and the meal overall. They do have a nice Korean flavor in their sauces but we did think that in comparison to other Korean fried chicken places the breading is not as light and airy.

    So, I decided to give their bowls a try. When I walked in, no one looked up or greeted me -- I actually had to say something first. The cashier was nice, though, so points for that. But they really need to work on their customer service. Then there was the overwhelming smell of Fabuloso. It was so strong it almost made me walk right back out! I want to smell food cooking, not cleaning products -- that was a little suspect. I went ahead and ordered the combo: a large steak bowl with noodles and six wings for $22. My heart dropped when she said $27 -- like, how?! Turns out they charge $3 extra for noodles, and I regret it because they were super mushy. Should've stuck with the rice. The steak was tasty -- a little salty but flavorful. They barely give any cabbage, the kimchi portion was tiny, and it was loaded with onions. The wings were okay -- small and not enough BBQ sauce. And to top it off, the Sprite had a funky taste, like maybe the filter needs to be cleaned.

    We enjoyed our first time here. The waitress was patient with us and recommended the steak bowl for me. It was delicious! We really enjoyed our time here.

    Steak bowl. Kimchi was on point.

    While the food was great, the customer service lacked. Seemed as if they didn't want to be there on a Sunday or at all. I kept explaining it's our first time dining here and she could care less. ‍ Customer Service Food ! Restaurant vibes were cute, clean bathrooms so I appreciated that. I ordered the steak bowl with noodles, while my husband had the pork with fried rice!! We switched back and forth sharing bowls. Food was great, although with the steak bowl, the noodles were waaay over sauced and made it hard to finish. It was too sweet for my liking. The sauce overpowered the dish.

    Chimac is a nice quick restaurant that gives you a switch up from the more common options around it while also still serving up familiar favorites. If you are in the Northwest area of Houston it is definitely worth a try. I first tried Chimac back in 2019 and of the items ordered one of them was a solid hit steak bowl while the other was a complete miss chicken bowl. The bowls then were plainer and didn't come with as many items. Since then any time I've gone I've been very happy with the food I received. I by no means am an expert or even heavily versed in Korean BBQ but for the fast food/fast casual food they put out I enjoy it. The main draw of Chimac is their KBBQ bowls and most times I go there that is exactly what I get. They also offer other times such as chicken wings, chicken sandwiches, chicken tenders, fried fish and shrimp and Philly cheese steak subs. Even though all these options are offered 90% of the time I'm probably getting either the Spicy KBBQ Chicken Bowl or the Korean Jerk Chicken Bowl. They also offer steak, shrimp and pork options for the bowls. The bowls can be served over either white rice, fried rice, noodles or salad. It gets topped with cabbage, grilled onions and kimchi. I'm pretty sure every time I've eaten from here I've had it over fried rice and recommend you do too. The wings aren't a stand out compared to other items they offer but they do have some cool flavors and they are good. I haven't tried their tenders or seafood but I have had the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Philly Cheese Steak Sub. I've had the sandwich twice and the first time I had it, it was banging. I don't usually be eat tomatoes on my burgers or sandwiches but it had a green tomatoe that with the fried chicken was just fire. Now I will say the second time I had it, it was only okay so I'll need to try it a third time to see which is more typical. I only recently had the sub and it was really good. It may not stand up to a place that specializes in Phillys but for a Korean BBQ place it over delivered on what I expected. The fries are also good here. I'm pretty sure they're just frozen fries but they have a nice golden crisp on them and are much better than the frozen fries I feel like most similar places serve. I haven't tried it here but they also offer kimchi fries. This is one of those places that you might look at the menu and think they offer a lot of options but they seem to do a good job of making sure what they offer is good.

    The wings were good! I got the large jerk chicken with noodles bowl and honestly I didn't taste any jerk chicken. It was just grilled chicken. The noodles were tasty, greasy, but very tasty LOL. The fried rice was good too! The service was great! Our cashier answered and patiently waited for us to order. We waited for about 15-20 minutes for our order. We will definitely be back!!

    Ask the Community - Chimac

    Do they use white breast meat?

    Do they serve halal meat?

    We do not.

    One common thread in the reviews suggest this place may be stingy on their protein. Is that still the case or is that a "one off" sort of thing?

    I have not been there in awhile. I will try it again. However, I will say that we have been there many times, and we have never had that problem. Ever.

    Is there any Korean fried chicken?

    Korean fried chicken is on the way recipe straight from Korea (new machines and recipe is ready) We'll bring it out once all of our front staff, kitchen, and management is at A+ service. Please be patient, it will be well worth it 🙏

    Are the wings breaded or traditional style without breading?

    Traditional style and have some good flavors to choose from.

    How long should one expect to wait for take out or plan to dine in?

    The wait is most likely not even longer than 10 minutes! But the service and food is very nice! Delicious!

This spot is located in a small plaza next to a busy trampoline park, and inside, it's very clean and well maintained. Each table has a menu of the offerings WITH pictures (so you don't have to scour Yelp like I usually do for pictures....). The waitresses come by to help answer any questions if you have any. To be honest, I think the menu tablets are a bit overkill since they have a small enough menu to look though, but it is good for people who aren't familiar with Korean food or the establishment itself. What's nice is you can get many of the dishes with noodles or rice as your starch of choice. 10/10 Jjamppong - the broth is flavorful, seafood rich, and noodles perfectly bouncy. SOO good. I couldn't finish the whole bowl, so it's easily shareable. 7/10 Chicken Fried Rice. It's expensive for the amount of rice you get. Flavor is good, but there's not a lot of chicken. Would suggest an appetizer as well if you want to stay full. This location does not have unlimited pickled radishes like the Spring Branch location. All in all, I really liked the food - I'll only really come back here for the noodle soup, but that's enough for me since they specialize in both the jjamppong and jiajangmyeon.
