I was in the area to pickup some xmas presents and was looking for dinner before heading back home. Found this spot with high ratings and korean fried chicken near me. Many places now are charging like $2/wing so I wanted to see how theirs was priced at $11.99 for 8 wings with an order of fries! I realize I should have paid the upcharge for flavored wings as the basic wings since the original wings were plain. (I guess I should have known, I was expecting more of a house special seasoning of sorts) I was given ranch and ketchup so I wasn't completely up a creek. The fries were actually also very solid, not plain fries but seasoned. When I called it in, I could tell it was legitimate Korean owned by the accent and was greeted by the friendly owner when I went to pick up. Place was really clean but empty on a Wednesday night. GO VISIT THIS PLACE! Totally worth a try. Keep this mom and pop place open to serve the community authentic korean quality eats! read more

Late review! Been here to the new location twice since Chimaek has been open and it's always a rad each time. The family and I have been long time customers since the previous location and we're honestly soo glad Chimaek has their own spot now! The menu is more extensive and haven't been let down yet. Once they've get the okay from the city for the alcohol license, this spot will be poppin'. Still, go anyways. Service is great! I went with the fried wings, I'm surprised I ate the them all! The parents got the tenders and boneless nugs, loved them. My sister loved the bulgogi beef. Music switches between KPOP and KRNB depending on the day you go. KPOP videos play on one screen while sports play on the other. There's also a tiny gacha section when you first walk in. Parking is located behind the building. read more

We followed them from their other location and the food for immensely better. We to get their DIY Rice Ball (spam), ddubokki, and of course their Bone-In Flavored Wings (Lemon Pepper and Soy Garlic). The service is impeccable and ambiance is nice as well. We ate the food before we could take a picture so I don't have any photos of the food. read more

Came in for the first time to order take-out. I got 6 pc chicken tenders with soy garlic sauce and a side entree of Tteok-bokki. Chicken tenders were so juicy on the inside and were very tasty. Soaked in the sauce yet remained crispy. French fries were also amazing being fluffy and crisp. Tteok-bokki was very tasty, soft and chewy rice cakes drenched in a "not too" spicy sauce. Overall, everything tasted amazing. I'm definitely coming back here making this my regular KBBQ chicken spot in Riverside. I look forward to trying their whole menu. read more

Went to this place with a couple of friends and it was a smaller family shop but the food was amazing. For the wings we got honey garlic, soy garlic, sweet and spicy, and lemon pepper. All of them were great but the lemon pepper stood out and was so flavorful and crunchy. The tteokbokki was also perfectly cooked with the perfect texture with a nice numbing spice that went well with the wings and fries! The owner is also super nice as well and made the experience great definitely coming back when I'm in the area! read more

The owner Tracy is super friendly.Came for lunch, the lemon garlic wings & fries were amazing. The Bulgogi were tender & juicy. The soup has a kick to it but not to spicy that you are still able to taste the flavor. Highly recommend to try it out. Will definitely come back again. read more

If you are familiar with the other place with a similar name, these are the original owners. Their new place isn't the easiest to find, but once you find it once it's easy. They are still in "soft" opening mode, so no beer yet. But the food is good, and the flavors are great. read more

Food was 10/10. The tenders were seasoned well, crispy, & juicy. My girlfriend really enjoyed the pasta, it was cheesy. The calamari was really crispy and paired well with the sauce. Overall the food was priced well, we will come back and try more. read more

I'm not here to talk bad about this place; a situation came up that was interesting and I'm letting you guys be aware of it. This will be an honest yelp review, because this is something that needs to be addressed. I'm unsure how to feel about this. Everything is a 5/5, but this situation included I had to just give 3/5. Recently, my friend brought me to this Chimaek and the owner welcomes us with open arms. The owner kind of knows my friend, as my friend has brought other people here so she like a "regular" in a way. Honest -- I love the welcomes, foods, regularly checking up on us, and the service. Although the service is good, it's questionable. During the service, she had asked us if we were gonna order alcohol and we kindly denied. After a while, waiting for the food, she had re-asked us again and, again, we denied. However, she commented afterwards to order alcohol for her to drink. That was the first interesting incident. Now, the second one is very interesting. When it came to paying and signing the receipt, the owner was making conversation with my friend, thinking she was paying because the owner placed my card in front of her to sign. During this whole exchange the owner asked my friend, randomly, "Can I ask you a question? This is weird to ask this. Could I borrow some money to fix our soda machine because it's been broken?" This wasn't just a few dollars, more like a couple hundreds specifically. My friend kindly apologize and said no. My friend and I kind of laughed awkwardly and uneasy -- like what the heck just happened. To me, this situation, it made me uncomfortable as I've never had this type of interaction before anywhere. My friend wasn't sure what to feel because she wasn't sure if it was meant as a joke or genuine. We, both, left feeling uneasy. You may think why -- we aren't too sure either or if it's made up -- it's not as it happened to us. This was just a random day we wanted to grab dinner and this happened. We still don't know what the owner was going for because the owner is a lovely lady, which is why I stated her interactions with us were questionable. We decided to take a break from this location, but maybe revisit another time, later down the line. Aside from this, everything else is spot on. AGAIN -- Don't let this ruin the vibe of the restaurant, itself, just please be aware of your interactions or exchanged conversations since music is playing in the background. read more

The food here is amazing. We came for my daughter's birthday and we arrived a half hour too early. They were so nice to allow us inside and sit while they got set up. Then, when the food arrived it was all delicious! Extremely friendly! GREAT service! GREAT food! Can't wait to come back. read more
