30 count wings
Traci D.

Our go to for wings. Tonight's order was: Hot Lemon Pepper Cajun Houstalanta BBQ The wings are cooked to perfection and seasoned well. We have only done pickup and they are always on time and the staff is friendly when I go in for our order.

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.

Combo - Large KBBQ Bowl (Pork) + 6 Wings + Drink $20.49 4/5 stars
Eliza L.

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.

Jerk chicken with lo mein
Kathy A.

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!

These are easily the most delicious wings I've had in a LONG time. 87 flavors is ridiculous but I…read morewant to try them ALL. I didn't catch the name of the gentleman at the front but he was super easy going, professional and patient with us while we decided why to get since it was our first time. The inside reminded me of a place in Austin where there's signatures from everyone who's visited on the inside, it's small and not a lot of place to sit there's like 5 seats but it's still chill to eat there if you fit, will absolutely be back!

I recently came back and realized this place is now called Space City Bites instead of Wings 87…read more Apparently, there's new management, which explains the changes. I noticed they now advertise 50 flavors, and the specials have changed as well. Unfortunately, just my luck, my usual flavor, Spicy Lemon Pepper BBQ, is no longer on the menu. I decided to try Spicy Lemon Pepper Honey instead, and it was actually really good. I'd definitely order that flavor again. My friend ordered the same flavor, but her order only came out as regular Spicy Lemon Pepper, so she was understandably disappointed with that mix-up. I also ordered two separate 6-count wing orders ($10.99 each) and was only given one ranch sauce. Mind you, these weren't part of a wing special. If I had ordered a 12-count with two flavors, I would've understood, but ordering two separate 6-counts made me assume we'd each get our own sauce. Maybe I should've been more specific, but honestly, I didn't think that would be necessary. The other odd part of the experience was requesting the wings to be fried hard. The cook came out from the back three separate times to confirm that's what I wanted and kept emphasizing that it would take 20 minutes. I was a little confused because, yes, that's exactly how I ordered them, and I was perfectly fine waiting since I'm paying for the food. I even asked how long they normally cook them because all the repeated confirmations started making me concerned. The reason I requested them fried hard in the first place was because during a previous visit, the wings were soft and borderline undercooked. Overall, the wings were good this time around, but the multiple service hiccups made the experience a little frustrating. I'd probably come back, but maybe on a Wednesday for the .99 special because there are other places in Houston with better wing deals at this price point. The food has potential, especially with all the flavor options, but consistency and attention to detail could definitely be improved.

I have been coming to dream wings for years now. And it's personally one of my fav wing spots…read more The wings here are big and full of flavor and their chicken tenders are so bomb! They're big, juicy and packed with flavor!! I love to get the mix & match cause that way I get wings, tenders and fries. The young lady at the register that took our order was so nice. She told us to sit where ever we'd like and to come up and order when we're ready. This place has gone up in price due to inflation so we paid $31 for the mix and match (that has gone up from $15 to $18) & and 5 piece wing, and a drink. The vibes here are pretty laid back, every time I've came up here it's never been too packed for me. The food came out in like 15 min which was good because they cook your food when you place the order. Overall I think this is still up there on my fav wings. So if you thinking of stopping by then you definitely should!

Nice cozy place, perfect setting for fried chicken. I am sure they had other stuff, but that was the mission for this visit.

Had the special which was to legs and two thighs for the price of the 3 pc dark. Beans and slaw. Ok, the chicken was great, moist, seasoned, very well cooked. I will go out of my way to go here for the chicken. Beans, canned with a little flavor added, nothing to brag about the slaw was pretty good. The fries on my friend's plate looked great. Perfect. We got here at about 1145, the place was busy. By 1215, it was packed, but they move people through and do a booming take out. Try it, you will like it. It satisfied my fried chicken desire and.

The chicken itself was beautifully fried in peanut oil, and truly one of the best, juiciest, fried chicken pieces I have ever had. This place is an example of simplicity at its finest. If you are in Houston and craving some down to earth fried chicken, Gus's is the place to go!

First, I noticed that the staff handling food behind the counter were not wearing gloves. Hygiene is important, especially when preparing and serving food, and it was concerning that no one appeared to be following proper food safety practices. At that time, the rotisserie was already being cleaned, which told me they had stopped preparing fresh chicken for the day. Instead, they were serving pre-cooked chicken kept in a warmer. As expected, this made the chicken dry and hard on the outside. I ordered the 1/2 dark meat chicken with yellow rice and Tequeños. However, I was given two small leg quarters and an extra piece of white meat--which I didn't ask for--all of which were extremely dry. The portion size has noticeably decreased as well. I was also very concerned to see them using spray cleaner near the food, which poses a risk of chemical contamination. On top of that, the Tequeños were extremely dark and tasted like they had been refried, nearly burnt. Adding to the poor experience, one of the girls behind the counter was playing around and massaging her coworkers while customers were being served. That level of unprofessional behavior is not something anyone wants to see while waiting for their food. I've always liked this place for its fresh rotisserie chicken, but it feels like DoDo's has started cutting corners on both food quality and cleanliness. Paying $19.52 for this meal just didn't feel worth it.

Save your time and money--go somewhere that actually values its customers.
