    Great customer service and food! I really enjoyed my experience here and the best part is they make all the food pipping hot and fresh. It takes about 20 mins for the food to come out but it's worth it. We did the half soy garlic and half spicy and that was yummyyy! We also ordered the gyoza which was scrumptious! Overall, I'd come back and try other items on the menu. They have lunch deals and all you can eat wing specials. I also enjoy that it's a laid back spot, good spot to enjoy food and watch sports as well.

    Great service and tasty wings !! Located in Sterling, ChiMc serves some crispy Korean fried chicken!! I saw great reviews of ChiMc and they're also only exclusive to VA so I had to try. I got the wings and got half and half for each flavor. Their 2 signature flavors are soy garlic and spicy. I was feeling peckish so I got some of their fries as when it comes to Korean fried chicken, it normally takes longer as they fry it up fresh. The fries were tasty and fresh. It kind of has the vibes of if you were able to fry up mashed potatoes in a fry with the inside being very soft and crispy exterior. The wings came out and I enjoyed both flavors. I think I did like the spicy flavor a bit more but that's a personal preference as I like spicy food. The wings also came with a side of pickled radish which was nice to help balance the meal.

    This is fride rice spicy so good!!!

    Simply spectacular! The service was excellent, the person who served us was very friendly, the place is peaceful, and the food was absolutely delicious. Seriously, without exaggeration, you won't regret coming here.

    About a 2.5: Not all Chi Mcs are the same! We came here due to the rave reviews, as well as to see how different it would be compared to the one that is near us (which we had a very poor experience at). We called ahead to place a to-go order, as we knew it would take some time for them to make it, as they make the chicken made-to-order. We ordered the Medium Wings in soy garlic, which is a 16-count of drums and flats; note that they can't do any customizations or requests, such as getting the chicken more well-done or having only flats. We picked it up right on time, as it was coming out of the kitchen. We decided to try it out right then and there, while it was piping hot. The skin/batter was interesting, as it was super thin and crispy, and it seemed to just fall off. The soy garlic wasn't too strong, as I think it was just 'basted' onto the thin coating, which left the rest of the chicken bland. Staff were friendly, and there's limited seating inside. Located in the Cascades Plaza, there's a shared lot, but it can get filled up quick! +super thin skin +bland wings +friendly service +located in the Cascades Plaza +parking available in the shared lot

    After seeing Yelp friend, Lyn L.'s review, I knew we had to give this place a try. For us, it was easy to find as we had been to the previous restaurant (Porchetta) before it closed. We were here on a Sunday around 4:45 p.m. and the place wasn't very busy. There was a man ahead of us in line, who, like us, was trying it for the first time. When it was our turn to order, we let Mili know it was our first time here. She was very friendly and helpful. One thing we appreciated is that newbies are given a free sample of wings. The man ahead of us in line got his sample first. I walked by him as I went to pick up napkins and utensils as we were eating our food there. I asked him if the chicken was good and he raved about it. Our order consisted of a small serving of mild wings, which was 8 pieces. Also, we ordered pork buns which come two per order. We decided to share a bottle of water. To finish it up, we got coleslaw. Mili asked us if we liked pickled radishes as they come with the chicken...yes, of course, we like them! She said it would take about 15 minutes to prepare our order. While we were waiting, she brought us the wing samples. To distinguish the spicy one from the mild ones, she put a toothpick in the spicy one. My husband took the first bite of the spicy one and was impressed. I took the second bite...and wow! There was spice but it didn't overtake the chicken. (I did have to blow my nose afterwards :D ). We were both impressed with the crunchiness of the skin and the moist, tender and juicy chicken inside. When our dinner arrived, it was piping hot. We had to wait a bit to dig into the chicken. Thanks to the sample, we knew it was worth the wait. The mild ones do have good, subtle flavoring. On to the pork buns --- not only were they attractively presented but they were tasty. The pork was lightly fried and coated with a tasty brown sauce, then finely cut green onions were added. The result was a tender piece of pork on a soft bun that held together quite well. As a bonus, the scallions did not overpower it. The coleslaw...well, it was okay. The portion size is generous, enough for two. While we didn't hate it, we noticed the vinegary undertones. That's our take on it, I'm sure others may feel differently. While we were eating, more customers came in. The ones who also were dining in could be heard talking about how much they enjoyed their food. A man who came out of the kitchen (we think he was the manager) asked us how we liked our food. We told him it was better than Bonchon, which he was pleased to hear. He explained how Chi Mc is not a large national chain---it's just in NoVA. Also, he said all their ingredients were locally sourced. As he put it (and I'm paraphrasing here) there are no waits for a cargo ship carrying ingredients from thousands of miles away. As for ambience --- the place is small and has comfortable chairs at each table. Needless to say---We will be back! Next time, we agreed that we will try some other sides, for example, their mandu sounds delicious.

    Visited on a Sunday around 3 or 4 o'clock, they didn't have many people in so it was perfect. As most Korean chicken restaruants the fries and appetizers come out first and then the wings and entree items. We had a big order and everything was really tasty and fresh. The couldn't take pictures of most items we ordered because we ate it too fast lol.

    Guy working the counter was super friendly and helpful. He gave us a free sample after we said it was our first time. The spicy wings are HOT so I'm glad I was able to try them before ordering a ton of them. I like heat but these were very spicy, probably my maximum heat tolerance. Knowing that he told me not to get the spicy buns since they were even hotter lol, so I went with the bulgogi instead. Everything was delicious, crispy, and not greasy. Beers were great as well. 5/5 will be returning.

    We got our first TooGoodToGo order from Chi Mc, and we love the store already! The worker was super informative, sweet, and friendly, and made the experience super easy and enjoyable! The food is great, and we can't wait to come back here to eat in the store! Great store with good vibes, supporting reducing food waste. :) Highly recommend!!! Support local restaurants!!

    Great food. While we eat-in, it seems that they have more take-out or delivery orders. Good substitute for Bon Chon Chicken.

    Really enjoyed the spicy chicken. Both were great but I prefer spicy food so for me the spicy wings and drums hit the spot.

    We brought our whole staff here to celebrate a great Easter weekend. The vibes of this place…read moredefinitely southern comfort. The server we had was amazing. She did a phenomenal job overseeing our whole group by herself. The food was good. I love a good southern comfort meal. But I'd be lying that I wasn't a little disappointed they didn't have chicken and waffles. They do have chicken and biscuits which looked good. But I was craving that delicious crispy meat over a savory waffle. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meals. Not a single person complained. If anything, they said how much food they got! When in the area again, will take a stop here to enjoy their food again!

    GOOD FOOD, RUDE SERVICE: I recently visited Milk and Honey and had a mixed experience…read more The smothered chicken and biscuits entree was very good. It's exactly what you'd expect from a Southern style dish in Charleston SC. Rich, comforting, and well executed. The crispy calamari appetizer was disappointing. Most of the pieces were tiny, which made them too small to dip into the sauce. It was also too salty. Cutting the salt by about 33% would help a lot. The worst part was the service. There was a long gap between our appetizer and entrees, and I could see our food sitting under the heat lamps for a long time. When our server Soledad passed by, I told her I noticed our entrees were ready and asked if we could get them. She seemed annoyed and told me I had to wait my turn because they execute tickets in order. The kitchen talent is clearly good, but they need to train their servers to have more grace under pressure. Overall, not worth coming again when there are so many great dining options in the area.

I've bee served by the same cashier lady and shes always delighted to meet new customers. This place is small and inside a super market so keep that in mind but I honestly wouldn't mind eating at the food court or anywhere else with fried chicken.

    Before trying bb.q, we had previously tried Bonchon, Chi MC, and WooBoi. After trying bb.q, we…read morehave to say that this is our new favorite Korean fried chicken! We first discovered bb.q when we ate at a different spot in the Lotte food court. After ordering our food at the time, we realized that we forgot to get something to drink. We saw some sodas in a refrigerated case which had a sign saying to pay for them at bb.q. When I went to pay, I noticed the wonderful smells coming from the place. Plus the lady who rang up my sale was very nice. All that put bb.q on our radar. This past Sunday we gave them a try. bb.q stands for "Best of the Best Quality". The have shops literally all over the world. Their chicken is prepared differently compared to others. From their website "...Korean fried chicken in the traditional method, hand brushed, hand battered and fried at a lower temperature for longer periods of time. This creates our unforgettably crispy chicken." One thing we really appreciated---you can order your food at their counter. The nice lady took our order and, before ringing it up, she made sure to repeat it back to us. This was much easier that ordering on a touch screen! The chicken takes 15-20 minutes to prepare, which we didn't mind. As for the chicken----We got 8 wings with honey garlic sauce which consists of: "sweet soy-based sauce ...light on heat, heavy on flavor". Also, we got 8 wings with soy garlic sauce which has a "mild tang of garlic". These wings were huge! Very meaty, moist, and with a nice crunch to them. We got some coleslaw, which was okay but the chicken was the star of the show. The chicken arrived piping hot. Before leaving home, I thought to pack each of us a pair of disposable cooking gloves. Given how messy things can get when eating wings, this turned out to be a great decision. The nice lady saw what we did: we were sitting near the counter. She thought we had the right idea and said maybe bb.q should give out gloves to the customers :D We also liked that she checked on us to make sure all was well with our food! As for ambiance---It's a food court: thus there wasn't any real ambiance---just tables and chairs. During busy times, it can get hectic and crowded. Still---it's well worth a visit---even better if you eat at off-peak hours.
