    Grand Opening 7-24-2026

    Busy grand opening day in Riverside with a packed parking lot and long lines. Excellent hot chicken chain joint with juicy and flavorful spicy chicken, delicious variety of sides, friendly and quick service, and surprisingly solid drink choices. We got their medium spicy 2 chicken tenders combo which came with crispy, seasoned French Fries, sliced bread, pickles, and their famous Dave's sauce. We also got their customized Dave's Big trio and chose their spicy buffalo mac n cheese, 4 mini sliders (with creamy kale slaw), and a 6 piece Dave's bites (crispy white meat bite sized chicken tenders). We got 3 dipping sauces (reaper ranch sauce, hot honey, and Dave's sauce) which enhanced and complimented the chicken perfectly.

    Wow was I surprised by the mozz sticks and tenders. You can definitely go up on the spice here. I got medium spice level and felt like I could use more heat! They have an efficient ordering system, and the food came out hot and fresh. Mozz stick was super crispy with that classic cheese pull! Clean tables and fast turn around time.

    I've been to Dave's a handful of times and this is the freshest they have ever served it! I get it though it just opened and they want to go above and beyond and I appreciate that! Minimal seating, but other than that -great service and consistently great flavoring food. Andre helped us out and he was very kind and went out of his way to ask if our food was good and give us a to go box! Happy there is one in Riverside now and a fitting area to place it in!

    The server "Andrew " was very kind and helpful upon my visit , and even gave a little suggestion about adding kale slaw to my order . The menu was easy to read. And the scenery was something g out of a comic book . Lastly the food was incredible it wasn't my first time enjoying Dave's with friends but , this location is something you should try for yourself and thank me later!

    I was in the area to pickup some xmas presents and was looking for dinner before heading back home…read more Found this spot with high ratings and korean fried chicken near me. Many places now are charging like $2/wing so I wanted to see how theirs was priced at $11.99 for 8 wings with an order of fries! I realize I should have paid the upcharge for flavored wings as the basic wings since the original wings were plain. (I guess I should have known, I was expecting more of a house special seasoning of sorts) I was given ranch and ketchup so I wasn't completely up a creek. The fries were actually also very solid, not plain fries but seasoned. When I called it in, I could tell it was legitimate Korean owned by the accent and was greeted by the friendly owner when I went to pick up. Place was really clean but empty on a Wednesday night. GO VISIT THIS PLACE! Totally worth a try. Keep this mom and pop place open to serve the community authentic korean quality eats!

    Late review! Been…read morehere to the new location twice since Chimaek has been open and it's always a rad each time. The family and I have been long time customers since the previous location and we're honestly soo glad Chimaek has their own spot now! The menu is more extensive and haven't been let down yet. Once they've get the okay from the city for the alcohol license, this spot will be poppin'. Still, go anyways. Service is great! I went with the fried wings, I'm surprised I ate the them all! The parents got the tenders and boneless nugs, loved them. My sister loved the bulgogi beef. Music switches between KPOP and KRNB depending on the day you go. KPOP videos play on one screen while sports play on the other. There's also a tiny gacha section when you first walk in. Parking is located behind the building.

    I got Combo 1 ( 2 sandwiches & fries) & a small Mac n cheese…read more I forgot to take a picture of the food but it was really good the service was great he was really nice & respectful.

    I doordashed so I'm not sure what the inside looks like but it was packaged and given to me nicely…read more I got the sandwhich and the chicken tender and fries combo then a side of Mac and cheese. I will say skip on the Mac and cheese for $4.99... it literally tasted like a box of Krafts Mac and cheese with pepper. It was not good and I won't be getting that again. I was surprised to see the chicken tender had a piece of toast under it so that was good. The combo had a lot of food actually and the portion was very good. The chicken is very juicy and crispy and had a lot of flavor, the pickles are a good touch and their sauce is actually really addicting. Their signature sauce tasted like a little upgrade to raising canes sauce, with a little kick to it. I did get mild for the chicken and it was kinda spicy already. I think the medium would've been the perfect amount of heat. My favorite is the chicken sandwich tho, the bun and the slaw and pickles all balances really well with the flavored chicken. The crinkle fries were also nice and crispy and lightly seasoned, not too salty. Next time I would get the medium spice level chicken sandwhich and fries with extra sauce and extra pickles. The service was good, I asked for extra pickles and sauce and I didn't know it was extra but they said for this one time they would give it for me. When I tell you the sauce is worth it, it's worth the extra $. I'm just disappointed in the Mac and cheese, they need to change that. Overall I'd go again!
