Simply the best fried chicken I have ever had. Its cooked to order, so make sure you order ahead or at least plan on sitting down and waiting. Full bar, simple cheap beer selections (which is all you need) and a friendly staff. Its not much to look at from the outside, and the interior is simple but pleasant, but good lord - the chicken is out of this world. Limited Korean food menu on the side, too. This place used to be a Bon Chon, but they dropped the franchise, re-branded, and kept the recipes all but identical. I give them an edge over Bon Chon as I think their "spicy" is a little spicier, and the chicken is always cooked to order.

The food here was amazing, A+ quality all around. The customer service was probably the worst I ever experienced though. The waitress paid little attention to my wife and i. They occasionally switched the waitress with another waiter, but he was even worse and being very impatient and in a constant hurry (despite us being the only ones there). The nail in the coffin was when he threw the to go back at my seat and walked away. Very rude servers at this place. If you want the good food but none of the poor service, order ahead and pick up to go!

Absolutely the BEST Korean Fried Chicken in the area...yes, its better than BonChon! The reason why its better is that the spicy chicken at Chi-Mc is spicy but it also has great flavor. I felt like the spicy at BonChon was just super spicy. Also, the soy-garlic at Chi-Mc holds its own with great flavor as well. I felt the soy-garlic at BonChon was rather bland. Other Korean dishes are also great such as seafood pancake and kimchi fried rice. Also, their fries are amazing! Cant recommend this place enough!

ChiMc has been going down hill steadily. The chicken pieces are shrinking and the wait times are ballooning. I was picking up a carryout order and told that it would be delayed. I checked again in 20 minutes and was told it would be at least another 20. I have no idea if that was even accurate. I canceled my order and will not be returning. Stick with Bon Chon for your Korean fried chicken. The consistency between locations is good and the restaurants are managed more professionally.

They offer Korean fried chicken similar to Bon Chon. But their sauces are much more punchy! Both the soysauce one and the spicy one tastes stronger, especially the spicy version, starts a bit sweet, then bam, the spice hits you. It was super tasty and tender, but if you are the type that think too much black pepper in a dish makes it taste "spicy", order the soy sauce version. They also have alot of other dishes on offer we didnt get a chance to try.

This is my new favorite food! Having never tried Korean fried chicken prior to eating here, I cant comment on how it compares to others. But my God, these are some of the best things I have ever put in my mouth. I got the spicy combo and despite the fact that my mouth was burning, I couldnt stop eating them. Just a note though, they make each batch as they are ordered so it takes a while. I would recommend that you call first, especially for take out.

The chicken is delicious. Its crispy and both soy and spicy sauces are delicious. The beer is cold and they give you chilled glasses. Their topokki is really good and the sauce can be used as a dipping sauce for the chicken later. The atmosphere is a little faux clubbish and it takes a while for the chicken to come out, but otherwise, a great place to chill with friends and eat great food.

This place is great for wings. They are expensive, but well worth it. But order your wings BEFORE you head there .... its a good 40-minute wait if you order when you get there. The staff will recommend this as well if you dont do it. They make them fresh and they are not pre-cooked, so you know youre getting them fresh.

This allowed me to relive my Korean fried chicken experience from our family trip to Seoul and Daejeon last winter. We ordered 20 wings (half soy sauce and half spicy) and a savory seafood and scallion pancake. This was too much for two to share but we will have some great leftovers later.

The crunchy, crispy Korean fried chicken is the star of the show here, but other entrees are solid as well. Heed the recommendations of others and call ahead to avoid the necessary prep time for the chicken.

Ordered the fried dumplings and the combo chicken platter. The dumpling were crisp and like little turnovers, though the filling was a little bland. Good sauce. The chicken was great, very crispy.

This place is basically bonchon. All the tastes and flavors are the same except they different menu items. The prices are a lot cheaper so it makes for a good value!

This place has the best korean fried chicken and onion rings around hands down. Better than Bon Chon! The chicken is even amazing and crisp after being re-heated.

Delicious, classic, Korean-style fried chicken. Really tasty as they are all freshly cooked to order - not stored and heated up later. Prices are fantastic too.

Further down the road from the main KTown places. It takes a long time for the chicken to be prepared. So be patient. It is quite delicious and worth the wait.

Great place to watch games, wings are great, but drumsticks were overcooked- to the point where the skin and meat fused to be inedible. Disappointing.

Pick Up or Sit down, cant go wrong with either choice. Hands down best tasting Korean fried chicken Ive ever had. Recommend the peach soju as well

First make sure to call ahead, the wings take 40 min, but if you like bon chon you will like this wing spot too! The wings are identical

If you want to eat here, make sure you order 40 minutes PTA This place used to be a Bonchon. The wings here are different from Bonchon.

Very good Korean fried chicken! If you are in the Annandale area and want friend chicken, dont go to Bonchon, go to Chi Mc.

Great chicken (just know it takes a bit to be made) and relatively cheap beer for the area. Service was adequate.

Delicious KFC. Order your chicken at least 30 minutes in advance, even if youre eating in.
