First time here with some family. Someone got honey lemon grass chili wings, which were ok, flavor was definitely there. Someone else got shrimp with noodles, which she ate up in what seemed like seconds. Someone else got hot wings with fried rice. I got a bowl with noodles, kbbq chicken (not spicy) and I added a fried egg. The noodles are big and they pile them in with the chicken, kimchi and egg on top. I really enjoyed the bowl, even had enough for good sized leftovers. Would definitely come back! Inside is super clean, the art on the walls are what I enjoyed the most. The outside means nothing compared to the inside. Lots of options, I was really surprised. read more

I really like the food here. It kind of reminds me of fusion food with traditional flavors at play. I love it a lot. Highly recommend. This location always has good service, fresh food, and it always comes out fast. Prices are really good for the proportions you get. read more

Wow! Everything we ordered was on point! The bowls are well put together and the flavors are . This will definitely be on our weekly dinner menu here on out. read more

I don't get it. Are they open orrrrr? There's sketchy written all over this place. I've been before and it was sub par food and service and now they just pick and choose random weeks months days and hours to be open. Something is definitely off. read more

Small place but the food is super flavorful. The bowls come with either fried rice, steamed rice or noodles. I also got spicy on both and it was just the right amount of spice where it was enjoyable. The fried rice was good and the service was good. I told the cashier it was my first time and she knew exactly what to suggest. The large bowl is huge. Pictured are both medium bowls. It's a small place and wasn't packed but people were coming in and out consistently. The medium bowls were very filling and you also get the option to add kimshi and cabbage as well. Drove almost an hour to try this spot and it did not disappoint. I encourage anyone around the area to give them a try for some quick and filling food. read more

I called in for a to-go order, like many other customers seem to do. I wish I would have seen the menu before ordering, since their pricing for the 30 piece wings is more expensive than ordering a 20pc and a 10pc separately. Each of those smaller orders cost less than $1 per wing, but the 30 pc costs MORE than $1 per wing. They need to fix this glitch in pricing. Other than that, by the time I arrived home, the food taste and quality was excellent. They give you all meals in styrofoam containers and my food was still hot. With 30pc, you can choose 3 flavors, so I ordered their popular ones: spicy Korean bbq, Korean bbq, and sweet lemongrass chili. The 1st flavor was the spiciest and regular Korean bbq had zero spice. They tasted more like plain wings to me with no sauce or seasoning. Maybe another snafu here. Overall, I really enjoyed the spicy Korean bbq flavor, the lemongrass flavor was just too grassy/herbal? for me, didn't really care for it. Service was excellent and I didn't have to wait long at all once I arrived at the restaurant to pick up my order. Wing size was about average. They're not tiny, but they're not pluckers size either. On a side note, I saw a lot of customers ordering their bowls, so I would probably try one of those next time! read more

The food FRESH as hell and delicious! I came extra hungry and with limited funds, but the combos are reasonably priced so I ended up getting the Philly Cheese Steak, with 6 wings, and fried rice (with added shrimp) for about 17 bucks. First off, it's a whole philly cheese steak slathered in cheese, bell pepper, & onions, 6 large (not those skimpy ass, malnourished chicken wings really meant for children) wings and so much fried rice. Now there is an up charge to add shrimp (or chicken) but it's definitely worth it. I'd ordered order it without the rice because it's that good, but...more than likely I'd be a fat ass and add it. Anyway, the place is small, but it's clean. There's a wait for the food, but I promise you won't die. Be thankful but it's freshly made and extremely hot. AND you get so much food! I actually have more leftover than what I pigged out on at the actual restaurant (and trust I pigged). read more

Service is so good! Unfortunately, the wings fell short. They are decent size for a fair price. I got the Korean spicy and the garlic soy. Both were fried nicely, but the sauce was lacking. There was no batter.... My review could be based because I am comparing to other fried chicken spots in Houston. If I was hung over and wanted a place to go, these would be better. Takes about 5 min to get your order if ordering drive thru. You get a choice to get 2 flavors for 6. read more

This place is ok. The bowls look great until you dig in and find that you have mostly just a bowl of white rice. I had a shrimp bowl and my son had the shrimp fried rice. The fried rice is barely fried. It came similar to my bowl with mostly white rice under the top. Not a place I would recommend. read more

The food is hot, fresh & seasoned well!! The cheesesteak and wings were great. The customer service is fast and friendly. I will definitely recommend and come back again. read more

Bad management on duty today. Meat is all dark and is supposed to white only. This is supposed to be fried rice with white meat only chicken and shrimp. Half the rice is not seasoned and hardly any shrimp !! Order three of these, a waste of money and will not return after calling to complaint and getting blowed off. Over priced and We live 30 minutes away! So too far to drive back. Losing a customer who put money in your pick 3 times in a week. New cut gone because you not handling your kitchen. Restaurant looks old and worn out, but still gave them a shot. read more

It's soooo good. Go hungry because they don't skimp on portions. Kimchee beef bowl is personal favorite

Cheapness has its limits. I ordered a meal and didn't get a hot sauce with it. I asked the cashier if I could get a hot sauce and Yes if I had 0.75 cents for this 1 oz container of hot sauce. She was waiting for me to pay after a few words I gave her a $100 bill and she actually gave me back $99 dollars and change back. Sad that this CHEAPNESS has come to. I am a regular customer and like to eat at this place but will not come back as nickel and diming the customer has a limit. Sad that they are loosing a $12 a week customer over 0.05 cents worth of hot sauce. read more

First visit. Drive thru employee super patient & helpful 9 Great price point, 10 wings $11.59 Meatiness of wings 9 Wings lacked crunch 6 (ate right away within 5-7min) Korean spicy bbq flavor 8 Honey bbq flavor 6.5 Small salad was basic but freshness 9.5 Wings made fresh to order so it's best to order ahead or be ready to wait 15-20min. Room for improvement on crunch & tweak flavors I gave them a 3 but it's more like 3.5 read more

Ugh so hard but I world give this place 3.5 stars. The food was alright. Looks delicious but taste very Americanized. The fried chicken didn't have the Korean chicken kick. The fries was probably the best of the 3 dishes we ordered. Also got the bulgogi lo mien bowl for 2. It was also ok. The price is on the pricey side. $50-ish for 3 plates. Overall, okay. Service was quick though. Ordered through yelp (grub hub) and had zero issues. read more

I came here for dinner last night based on randomly finding this resturant on Yelp and once again, I was steered correctly. Thanks Yelp! I came here for the wings and left a satisfied customer. Chimac has great wings, among the best I've had in Houston and when you layer on top a friendly owner and staff, you get a fantastic combination. This restaurant is definitely one of a kind. First of all, the wings are massive and made fresh so there is a short wait. Based on what I had read on Yelp, I ordered the Spicy Korean BBQ and Houstatlanta and both were excellent. Next time, I will stick with one of those and then try a dry rub like garlic pepper or something like that. The wings are crispy on the outside and meaty and juicy on the inside. I got a side and the owner suggested I try their fried rice. I thought why not but I ended up devouring the fried rice. I couldn't believe it Chimac has awesome, authentic, as good mom makes, Chinese fried rice. I was surprised and impressed! Another unique thing was they offer three Kool-Aid flavors in addition to fountain drinks. I elected for the Kool-Aid and enjoyed this unique old school treat. Overall, the restaurant has a chill, friendly vibe with good tunes and a large screen TV. There's a good mix of people eating in and a steady number of people picking up so there's a good flow of people. It was a sweet find on Yelp and I will definitely be back! read more

The restaurant is located in a huge parking lot and it likely was some sort of fast food Chinese place before, but the interiors been redone and is now a kinda of cheeky colorful Asian fusion. Anyway, we ordered the spicy chicken salad (5.99) and the spicy steak bowl combo with KBBQ wings (12.39) both were super tasty and total worth the price. There was tons of sliced chicken on the salad and the bowl was huge too. I'd eat here again. read more

He takes the time to really talk to everyone and build a bond. And might I add that the food is great and an unbeatable price. This is a great place for lunch or dinner. read more

Chimac - Spicy KBBQ beef bowl with noodles and spicy KBBQ wings. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Houston, Texas

Came to this place because of the reviews. Orders combo 3 and a combo 5 for my brother. Also got 10 wings of super hot and lemon pepper. Overall the wings are OK. I think it would've been better if they were extra crispy. Combo 3 steak bowl with fried rice is absolutely amazing! I got the spicy kbbq and those were the best flavor. Combo 5 fried fish was good but slightly bland. The shrimp were very good and crispy. The onion rings were tasty as well. I got the honey cajun wings for that order and those were okay. You couldn't taste the honey. It seemed as if the wings were tossed in cajun season and honey drizzles over but since the wings were hot, the honey melted to the bottom of the box. The super hot wings were not even hot. The spicy kbbq was hotter. The lemon pepper was okay. I just wish they were crispy. I got the red kool aid which was very good. My brother had the green and he said it tasted funny as if the sugar was fermented. It had an after taste like tequila. Maybe I shouldn't have gotten that one for him, since it was the one that was the fullest. read more

Summary- Good wings with a side of fried rice? I am all in. Food- 5 Stars Wings are everything a chicken wing should be and the spicy KBBQ sauce is wonderful. Fried rice is awesome both in Chicken and Shrimp varieties. Atmosphere- 3 Stars Nothing special inside but clean! Not a ton of seating. Dranks- 5 Stars I know I shoudn't drink their tropical diabetes juices but they are so good. Value- 5 Stars A lot of great food cheap read more

Sometimes hole in the wall restaurants require taking a risk and hoping for the best! Trust me when I say that the risk will be worth it when you try Chimac! The outside looks a bit shabby, but the inside is small, cozy, clean, and welcoming! Mind you, most customers are "to-go" customers so they don't heavily rely on people dining in. According to the owner, Daniel, they have a few more exciting things up their sleeves that they will be bringing to the restaurant soon! Ok! Let's talk wings! Before I actually went, I thought it was Korean fried chicken + beer because the name translates to exactly those two words combined...chicken and beer :) but I wasn't disappointed because their wingggggs were amazing!! Their sauces are legit, even though they are a bit Americanized. The HoustAtlanta bbq wings are so good!! So are the lemon pepper, and if you're daring enough and love a good kick, the spicy kbbq is for you! It doesn't stop there! The Korean style bulgogi bowl is really good! The sauce they use that can be poured over the bowl is pretty original and adds just the right amount of flavor! If CARBS are your best friend and you love French fries, ChiMac fries are the best!!!!!! Crispy and lightly battered and seasoned. The competition on good fries are fierce these days, but look out world! Chimac fries are super awesome! My dads addicted. He keeps wanting to go back for the fries lol. Customer service from Daniel was amazing!!!!! We went as a family after helping my fiancé move apartments, and he hooked it up! Super friendly and love a place that has a story! If you happen to run into Daniel, ask him about how he got to Houston!!! Definitely will be returning!! :) read more

2 different occasions I went but one review. Although I go hear mainly for the chicken and the low cost for a huge quantity. This time I decided to try something different. The steak bowl , I hated it. Think it might of been the sauce I hated more so when I went back. I got the chicken with no sauce and lived it. read more

Really enjoyed the food here. Simple menu but you have a lot of combinations/variations of options. My only gripe is that there aren't enough meatless/ plant-based/ vegan options. They should offer at least two meatless options -- like beoseot gangjeong, dubu jorim, gochujang dubu or yeongeun jorim over noodles, rice or fries -- instead of a side salad on top of rice or noodles, which is a "meh" option . Would expand their clientele but would also be tasty, different yet still simple for all customers. read more

Food is really good! We go to Chimac quite often! I just kinda wish it was in a better area.

Spicy steak burrito: 10/10 (would've been better with habanero sauce on the side instead cus the current one isn't spicy at all) Half half bowl + 6 wings combo: 10/10 Fries: 10/10 Onion rings: 10/10 Hot lemon pepper wings: 8/10 Spicy Kbbq wings: 7/10 Sweet tea: 2/10 (too much sugar, no tea) Quality of food: fresh! A+ Service: A+ :) read more

Was surprised and very happy to see this place was open the day after the blackouts in Houston. Was my first trip here and it was very easy to find. After living off of canned foods and what groceries we had for for 4 days, my family and I were looking for a nice change of pace. We ordered the 40 wings family pack with kimchi fries which came with a ton of food and was enough to feed at least 6+ people, which gave us plenty for leftovers. I highly recommend you call ahead about 15 minutes if you're ordering wings so that they can make them while you're on your way to help diminish your wait time. 1. The fries were fresh and crispy, they tasted like they were made when we ordered them. We also got some kimchi fries which were good as well. 2. The wings were large and crispy with good flavors. I ordered lemon pepper, lemongrass chili (they tasted really similar, but either one was very good), Houstonatlanta BBQ (which tasted like a thicker BBQ sauce), and the Honey CaJun (which had a sweet and sour taste to it). All of them were good, but I really enjoy the dry rub wings best. 3. The fried fish and shrimp were quite large and a meal unto itself. They reheated nicely later on and were great as leftovers. 4. They gave us a huge bag of condiments in the form of ranch dressing for the wings, tartar sauce, and ketchup which was welcomed! 5. The owner was there and was incredibly friendly. He showed he really had a vested interest in the restaurant and the staff were wonderful. 6. The family pack came with a huge tray of fried rice which was tasty and reheated nicely later on. We had leftovers for 2 days. 7. The owner was kind enough to give us a few extra dishes for us to sample, which were great and had a nice bourbon chicken taste to them. Its tough to find a good Korean wings place around and this place was a nice fusion of American and Korean cusisine that I enjoyed a lot more than a Wing Stop or Buffalo Wild Wings, especially for the price. If you're looking to feed a family, need something for game day, or just need to pop by for a quick snack, this place has you covered. The food was great, the service fantastic, and the price very reasonable. We'll be back soon. read more

This is sort of a difficult review. Chimac is supposed to be in the realm of fast food, but it is anything but fast. Expect to wait 20 minutes for your food. What would be five stars for a fast food joint would be probably less to a regular restaurant for me. So because it took long it was rated as such. Food is ok, the best part about it is the dry rub wings. So tasty, slightly over cooked. But if comparing to FF who cares, but again because of the wait we can't do that. The other big problem I have is the wastefulness. I drove up there to dine in as to not waste plastics and styrofoam but everything is plastic and styrofoam regardless if you dine in or carry out. Normally I don't rate based on that but lately it's become increasingly important that everyone does their part. These guys don't even try. I understand the cost to do that, but most people will accept it for a clean place to eat that cares. Just go downtown. read more

Wow! This place is seriously a hidden gem. From the outside, it may not look appealing, but it looks very clean and hipster inside. Ordered the family pack, 40 wings, sub, bowl, 2 large sides, and 4 drinks for about $40 including tax. That's very reasonable! Philly cheese steak - it was really good! Super cheesy and loads of protein. Ribeye steak bowl - this meat was soooo delicious! Slightly sweet but not too much. I wished they had Kimchi, wouldn't mind paying extra for that! Overall so good, I would order this again by itself. Wings - Wings were a decent size (like bdubs). we ordered mild, honey garlic, honey Cajun. Really like the mild sauce they have. I couldn't tell much of a difference between honey garlic and honey Cajun, and they did not have any honey taste to me. I didn't mind it because they were still good regardless, but I preferred the mild. Overall, this place is a solid 5. I don't have any complaints and will likely come back! read more

The ribeye was tender and flavorful and the wings were wet and juicy I got the honey bbq flavored ones. read more

I was looking for a quick place to eat for lunch. Came across this restaurant and decided to try it out because it seemed like a quick place. I was right. I like this place and recommend it for the following reasons: 1. Super friendly employees. The lady who took my order was patient with me since it was my first time and explained the menu. She also threw in a complimentary drink since it was my first time. The guy, with the black funny hat, was cool and he recommended their Chimac sauce (delish!). 2. The food was good. It ordered the bowl + wing combo with Korean beef. The portions are large, definitely enough to hold me over for the rest of the day. This Combe came with 6 wings and a side salad. I wasn't charged for extra ranch, BONUS! 3. They seriously have Kool-Aid! Red, green and yellow flavors. That caught my off guard. *UPDATED 9/11/19* Met Daniel today, an or the owner of Chimac. Had a conversation about Chimac's story and how they ended up in Houston. Cool dude and nice enough to allow me to try a new item menu that could be available very soon. And it was delicious! Rooting for Chimac, great place to have lunch. Over all good experience. I'll be returning soon. I recommend read more

Let's say that you were in the mood for a good burger, wings or maybe some crazy spicy twisted Korean beef/chicken over rice.... well you just found the place to get that and more. I was amazed not by just the food but the attention they gave us. Good service is hard to find these days, as they greeted each customer with delight. I watched their interactions with each customer and they really surprised me. Rarely do I see this kind of friendly service from any establishment. I always believe that great customer service will bring them back for more. My wife is a hard critic on food establishment, and rarely does she appreciate a new place on the first visit but she loved the heat and flavor of the Korean Zombie ribeye steak over rice. The only thing she felt it was missing was....some grilled kimchi with her food. Besides that she loved it! If you're not in the mood for food, just bring your own cup and enjoy the fountain drinks. After drinking several cups, perhaps you're in the mood to dance with the rhythm of the music from the tv. This is a very fun place to eat. I ordered two burgers for my kids and they really enjoyed both the burger and crispy fries. The wings were enjoyable. I'll be back for sure! read more

Nice lil hidden gem! Discovered these through the Houston Chronicle write up and I definitely agree. You gotta try this place. With far from average wing flavors and, not to mention, immense variety. I recommend the number 3 to really get a feel for all these guys have to offer. Great portion for price point! Lastly the staff is super friendly and happy to answer questions so you can find the right eats for you. It was a little warm as far as facility temperature when I went but I saw a fan which makes me think they might have had A/C trouble and let's face it... as I write this it's the beginning of Summer in Houston, so them's the breaks. Lol From Korean BBQ fusion plates to the aforementioned awesome wing variety, you'll need to try this place... then try it again... and then try it again to really be able to take in all Chimac has to offer. read more
