This chicken is legitness. Spicy. Savory. Salty. All the good things. We got the 30 ct and it was perfect for two hungry people. Inside was clean and empty. Staff was nice. Vibes were good. read more

I ordered a 6-piece hot king boneless wing + rice combo. The flavor was good but the chicken was really tough. I'd try it again if I was in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Chimcking - Hot king wing (6 pcs) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Portland, Oregon

A quick bite here tonight before a movie. Had looked at menu online and was hoping for a chicken salad but, according to the counter person, they didn't have one. He guessed that it might be available at their other location. Minus one star for menu confusion. I settled for the chicken sandwich which was provided at a decent price. Choose the spicy option. Sandwich and fries arrived quickly, condiments and napkins too. Sandwich was on a nice bun, had good spicy flavor and satisfactory level of heat for my heat-loving palate. While there's nothing exemplary about my meal, and I was grumpy because parking isn't easy in that neighborhood, this was a three and a half (half star for great service) start meal. read more

Chi-Mek [chee*meck]: konglish word combining Chicken with Mekju (beer). - a noun/verb/way of life -correct way to use in a sentence: let's go out for some Chi-mek! - Also correct: All I do is Chi-Mek! My 2nd fav Korean fried chicken spot in Portland. I see most ppl seem to opt for wings but if u have another person to share with the whole chicken is def the way to go (it's cut up & fried, not entire chicken fried thanksgiving style) bc you get all the different meatier pieces. For the whole chicken u only get choice of soy garlic or hot king or half n half. They have a few other flavors if you're doing wings or something else but those are their best 2 flavors IMO anyway. Soy garlic is usually too sweet for me but here it was delicious, not too much soggy thick coating of sauce. They let me change the hot to their extra hot king which I recommend if you like spicy at all since it wasn't anything crazy spice level wise. Great happy hour too w/ 50% off beers from 2-5 daily. Haven't seen 3.50 for a pint in quite some time! They sell some classic Korean instant ramens for about $4 that you can use their hot hot water tower to cook & eat there like Korean/japanese 7-elevens. U can also pay extra for them to dress it up w/ like boiled egg & stuff lol. read more

Chimcking - Sooo good - Chicken Wings Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We've ordered takeout from this place a few times, but this time ate in before catching a movie at the Hollywood, which is basically next door. The interior decor layout is a little weird and the decor is pretty basic. The menu is a little overwhelming because things are sort of posted all over the place. But the service was super friendly, and there were two TVs showing anime, which is fun. Our order of boneless soy garlic arrived piping hot and very crispy. Yum! There's a nice selection of soft drinks, beers, etc. There's also an instant ramen station, which none of us tried but does seem like fun. We'll continue to get takeout from here, but I'd also recommend eat in, especially before or after a movie. read more

I really like their chicken. And i used to like their treokbokki too, but I am very dissatisfied in both taste and how little rice cake there was this time I got it. It was 95% cabbage and 5 pieces of rice cakes for $14.99 I got it to go so the bowl is mine in the picture, fyi. I'm from korea and I never had any tteokbokki that puts cabbage in general but it's disappointing that they put this much cabbage so that they don't have to put as much fish cake or the rice cake. Skip this menu if you ever go to chimcking. read more

Chimcking has never disappoint me, their regular soy garlic will always be my comfort food and the staff there are so friendly. I used to always make the drive to the Beaverton location but I'm so glad they open one in Portland and I have not stop going here since. My to go order is a regular soy garlic and a side of soy garlic pop corn chicken. I will occasionally order their teokbokki as well, the sauce can be spicy but very tolerable! I always leave the restaurant happy and will continue to recommend chimcking to everyone I know! Note: They have anime/ Kpop playing on their tv! Parking sucks tho. read more

Chimcking - Regular soy garlic and popcorn chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Portland, Oregon

So much to say being my first experience eating here. All good things to be honest. Street parking around the area was easily available when I went, so that was really. Going in, they got some mini crane games that you can pay-to-play which was cute. A bit messy in the front, but not an issue. The counter was all the way in the middle of the place and you had to go up and order first before dining in. It wasn't really busy it seemed like. Some to-go orders, but no one really dining in except maybe one other table. Saw they had 4 kinds of chicken wings based on the spice level you preferred. Ended up getting 6 pieces of the Garlic Soy and 6 of the Extra Hot King. The chicken comes with a side of radish. There's a good amount of appetizers to choose from to go with your chicken. So go the egg rolls and some white rice to go with our food. Not only that, they got an instant ramen station as well! I haven't used it before, but I like that it's an option since I don't usually see anything like that very often. The place was pretty spacious and they had some TV playing some shows. I got to sit at a table that had a nice view of one of the TVs that was playing Naruto on it. So it was an enjoying experience. Food came out at a timely manner and gloves and disposable utensils were available to keep our hands from being sticky. Looked like we had to bus our own table after the meal, but it was pretty easy to do and I had no issue with that. So how was the food? It was alright. The extra hot was pretty spicy, but it wasn't anything extremely mind blowing or impressive. Just solid food and solid experience dining in. I'd go back. read more

I shared the soy & hot (20pcs) with my friend. We initially thought we could finish it all but we ended up splitting the leftovers. I enjoy eating the wings with radish which also helps with digestion. Since we ordered delivery I can't speak on ambiance, but the food itself was great. read more

The food at Chimcking was the best fast food I've ever had in my life the staff are so kind they have a giant selection of ramen

This location is in Hollywood district which makes it hard to find parking since it is only street parking in a busy area. The actual restaurant is nice, very clean. Service was fast since we were the only ones there. Ordered a 20 pc of the wings, half soy garlic & half spicy as well as a tteobokki. Food came out relatively fast, around 10 minutes or so. Wings were delicious, crispy, and saucy. My favorite was the soy garlic. The tteobokki was okay, there was something about the texture of the sauce that I didn't particularly enjoy. But all the cheese on top was yummy! This place is cool & definitely work checking out for your Korean fried chicken fix! read more

I have come here with various different people and everyone always loves the food. The chicken here is NOT like every other place. The crisp on the exterior has a softness to it while remaining crispy. The sauces they use to glaze the meat aren't over powering allowing you to enjoy the quality of the protein. Everything from the tteokbokki to the chicken, the soju to the rice wine. It's all good. During your meal the vibes are very chill. There's various anime and asian shows playing throughout the different screens around you. On top of that the servers here are so friendly it makes me feel like I'm family. Overall 9.2/10. read more

We ordered to go and it took awhile. Very dry popcorn chicken on both the soy garlic and spicy versions. Almost inedible although the dogs enjoyed a few. The salad was full of brown iceberg lettuce and the dressing was unpleasant. King Rice was not bad, but not going back. read more

The food was solid, an 8/10. It was spicier than I expected so I drink a lot of water haha. The water cup I got had lipstick smears on the lip of it which I didn't notice til half way through my meal which kind of disturbed me... the cup was not washed well enough. However, they did play one piece in the store which might just cancel out the unhygienic cup mentions earlier? Overall, this place is worth checking out, just look at your cup carefully before drinking from it... read more

Chimcking - Chicken Wings Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I am so confused. I must have been expecting a more conventional fried chicken experience. I ordered a half regular fried chicken for $20. I picked up my order and the bag was so light, I thought I received the wrong order. I opened it in the car and instead of finding a breast, leg, thigh, wing and back portion... I found a miniature leg, smaller than the wing and multiple chunks of chicken, it was spicy and had I realized , i would not have ordered. The smaller pieces were mostly breading. I gave my entire order to a homeless guy because I did not want it. It did not satisfy my craving for fried chicken. If this is what y'all want, then have at it. Now where is the real fried chicken in this town?? read more

Wow! What a waste of money! Had been looking forward to trying this place and am very disappointed. Boneless wings were the only thing we liked. Got takeout and 2 items were missing from our order! The cashier was friendly and it appeared to be clean but we won't be back. read more

Korean fried chicken, the outside skin is so crispy and crunchy for the wings. Inside was a little dry for me, but otherwise the flavor for the wings were great. I for a meal where they gave me 5 wings, fries and a drink. There was a lot more fries than wings for the combo. The fries were fried fresh but bland and you can tell it's frozen. It lacked seasoning too, I saw that they had salted it but there was no salt flavor. The store here is a decent size, there is street parking at this shop. Definitely will come and try their chicken wings again and probs get another side next time. read more

Love this place! The wings are so good , pickled daikon is great . Hawaiian rolls are great Thank you!

The newer location of the two and also the bigger one! This spot is definitely more ideal for dining in with plenty of seatings. We went in wanting the whole series but unfortunately it wasn't available so seems like calling in to check if that's what you want is the smart way to go. The person also mentioned that you can call to order the whole series in advance since it'd take 25+ minutes to make; some helpful pro tips. Our half & half extra hot king and soy garlic wings, however, came out super quickly! You gotta love their soy garlic sauce, I can easily just devour all of them myself. Wings and drums were on the small sizw but well-cooked and thoroughly sauced. The extra hot king was also very tasty albeit being quite spicy. I can handle my spice and this one stings! All options came with pickled radish as a side. Highly recommend some rice to go with whatever you order; they gave a decent amount too. One rice was good enough for the two of us. read more

Chimcking - Half & Half Soy Garlic & Extra Hot Wings (20 pcs) - Chicken Wings Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The bomb! Wow! These wings are crisp, flavorful and juicy all at the same time. With every bite I was craving the next, eating so fast because I just could not get enough of that chicken wing perfection. Fried chicken and wings are a classic comfort food in many cuisines and cultures. It's amazing how something so simple can have so many varieties. If you have never had Korean fried chicken wings, you need to give ChimcKing a try, just be prepared to be addicted! Consider yourself forewarned. The half & half is a good way to go. Half an order of soy garlic which has an underlying sweetness in the sticky sauce and half spicy. I love heat but stayed with the regular spice and not the King spice. I want to taste all the ingredients and the chicken, not just heat. Next time I'm going to order a side of Ddukbokki which are small, flat rice cakes (noodles) cooked in a gochujang sauce. I love them! They are so unique and delicious but Ddukbokko need to be eaten hot and I was so focused and consumed with my wings that I couldn't divide my time! Located on NE Sandy next to the Hollywood Theatre, I'm in this part of town several times a week so that means Chimching wings will be on the rotation! read more

Best Korean chicken place we've ever been to and we've been to so many! We were gonna go to one down the street, but they were closed so we stumbled into this one. Street parking and lots of seating! Seat yourself and serve your own water. Staff was friendly, and there was lots of music and tvs playing. The wings were so crunchy and flavorful! Comparable to bonchon, but flavor was even more amazing! The tteokkboki but cheesy and spicy and so good. Would come back if in the area! read more

Wings with a Korean flair! This is a great little wing shop for dine in or take out. We swung by here for a quick lunch the other day not quite knowing what to expect and we were not disappointed. We got a large order of the Soy Garlic wings to try our first time there and they were great. Crispy on the outside and juicy inside, they were delicious. The vibe is pretty chill and the decor is fairly basic, but it was clean and the clerk at the counter was pleasant and fast. Great place! read more

Everything was fantastic! These are the best chicken wings. We got soy garlic, hot and extra hot wings. They are the perfect combination of crispy and sticky saucy cooked to perfection. Overall my favorite was the soy garlic hands down but my boys really like the hot and extra hot. The other signature deliciousness is the King Rice! It pairs great with the wings along with a Soju Highball or a Terra lager. The service was fabulous and the staff were so friendly. We will definitely visit again. read more

Had super high expectations for this place. It is good but nothing I'd write home about. With prices around $14 for 10 wings I was expecting big juicy wings packed with flavor. Instead, we get small, minimal meat on the wing. We tried the Garlic and the Hot King. Again, they were good, just nothing special, and not worth the price per wing in my opinion. Unfortunately, I think I went in with super high expectations and got a bit let down. read more

Teokbokki lacked of flavor and the ingredients were overcooked. Chicken wings were very small. Seriously we've never had wings that tiny. A few pieces were only a thumb length. The table wasn't wiped. I really liked the new Chimcking that opened on MLK Jr blvd but this one was a huge disappointment. Will never come back here. read more

One of favorite spots for Korean fried chicken. Pieces are on the larger scale with price being fairly decent. Average wait time for the food is roughly 10-12 minutes. Staff is very attentive and restaurant is always spotless every time I visit. They also offer beers to enjoy with the chicken. Recommend getting the spicy flavor if interested in a spicy kick read more

We all come to see what people have to say about a restaurant and how their food and service is.... For this one, I'll be short and simple.

We ordered the Half & Half: Boneless Soy Garlic & Hot King. The skin was dry and not crispy, but the meat was tender. They used dark meat. The boneless pieces were thick, so the sauce to chicken ratio was off. Soy Garlic: Sweet and not very umami. Hot King: Tasted liked gochujang with a touch of garlic. Radishes: Sour, not acidic. read more

Fried chicken is a wonderful food. Period. One can find an amazing version of it across town with Reel em Inn being right at the top. Hey, my opinion but it is pretty damn good. But I've had other great varieties of fried chicken from other places including the fried chicken app at Bollywood Theater and the spicy dry fried chicken at either Kung Pow or Shandong. You can find whatever you want in fried chicken from quite a few countries. So when Chimcking had their soft opening sign up for awhile over in Hollywood, I kinda knew I'd end up there at some point. So, walking in I knew what I was leaning towards, they have large menus to look over right outside the storefront. Chimcking has these half & half chicken options of their Soy Garlic and spicy wings or boneless wings. For $13.99, you get a good amount of chicken and sooooooooo much flavor. I got fries to go with it, but it looks like I need to try the King rice on my next visit from some of the other reviews. Now being at the tail end of Covid, the place is only takeout or delivery (3rd party). The location has been several other restaurants and I do hope they eventually utilize the space well. B level wrestling and K-pop videos were on two different TV screens while I waited for my food, so there's that. As for the boneless wings? The Soy Garlic with some sesame seeds on them was sweet and tangy and quite amazing. The crispiness was on point. The spicy ones had a great kick, not in a buffalo wing way and they do offer an extra spicy version which I'd try. I also received a small order of pickled radishes that had a nice sour bite to the food that balanced things out. Very umami. I enjoyed the food and I'm pretty sure any of you reading this will as well. They offer whole chicken options as well and combos, plus a few other Korean items. Overall, I'll be back to try more. Enjoy and support local PDX. read more

Chimcking - Half & half boneless with fries and pickled radish - Chicken Wings Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Hits and one miss. The popcorn chicken was excellent, more favorable than traditional Chinese style Orange/General Tso chicken. The small pieces give it a better crunch, they pop. The King Rice was worth the small price upgrade, unique flavor enlivens plain rice. The layer of ingredients is somewhat thin, so better to mix it first before taking a bite. It was the opposite of dry rice, but not greasy; I prefer it "wetter" like this. The one big fail is their sad iceberg lettuce heavy salad. Real boring, comes with a cherry tomato and a so-so Ranch-dressing dressing Service is stoic, execution of order without friendliness, so don't expect too much of an experience. Hope they make it because this location in the past 20 years has been a revolving door. read more

The wings are on-point and really well-glazed! They provided plastic gloves for eating, which was a nice touch.

Free tea? Nice touch for a fast food restaurant. The selection of items is overwhelming - well more confusing- for a first time guest. Cause a lot of items are not or not yet available. But the human at the counter is very helpful and answers questions lol. So I'll ordered wings since that's what this place it for, plus a side of spring rolls. I ordered half and half fried no spice and goy garlic wings and normally I'll do not Like wings that are smothered in sauce. But I'll have to admit the soy garlic wings have been even tastier then the regular. And they are still crispy! Also I have never seen this before they give you finger gloves - so you don't get your finger dirty when eating wings. Nice! The egg rolls are good and the side of picked radishes just perfect! Plus free tea, did. I'll mentioned that? Great service as well and so I am sure I will be back. (Soon). read more
