The original location of CHIMAC This location off of 1960, never have peas or carrots. They don't receive them to sell out. The rice here for the large fried rice was hard and undercook, my son couldn't complete it, and he really tried to fight pass the harden bits of rice, but he didn't consume even half of the meal. They were closed when we received our ordered, and the staff departed once we discovered the undercooked (or either outdated rice) textured. I reached out by phone, I can't remember if I left a voicemail or the number wouldn't adore me to, either way it didn't get resolved from this location. The Best location is Barker Cypress across from heb. They have more veggie options and a phone number to be reached at.

30 count wings

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
Olivia M.

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.

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!

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!

I've had a mix of experiences with wait times, but this most recent visit was very quick! Very laid back spot for a late night craving.

As far as flavors, the jerk BBQ, teryaki, and firecracker are some of the best in terms of sauce and taste. Wings can either be tender or tough, it depends on how quick you can pick them up whenever they're ready. I also did the fried oreos here one time; now those are must order! Fried goodness with a hint of powdered sugar, it melts in your mouth and a great item after you've been salted by the wings and fries. Since it's easy to order, I'll probably order here again and try some other flavors out. Heard the tenders are also tasty so that could be next.

Nice cozy place, perfect setting for fried chicken. I am sure they had other stuff, but that was the mission for this visit. Started with fried pickle spears, probably the best I have ever had, no joke. Perfect coating, taste and preparation. I like the spears vs the chips. 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. Am set for a bit, but still want to go get more!!

I enjoyed their fried chicken, which for around $12, came with a thigh and leg, along with ample amounts of coleslaw and fried okra. Even I, as a voracious eater, could not finish all the sides. 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.
