Tried Chimmelier a long while back and found myself in the comfort of quick service, good food, and a cozy environment. When I first tried Chimmelier, my partner and I ordered the following: - Hot yangnyum chicken - OMFG chicken - Seasoned fries Between the chicken types, I definitely preferred the OMFG chicken in terms of the flavor. The yangnyum didn't wow me, but was still yummy. The chicken here is crispy and flavorful, but in a way that tastes... clean? (At least in my opinion). The seasoned fries are so good! I took leftovers home and tossed them in the airfryer - they held on to that good flavor. Compared to other Korean places offering chicken options in the area, I'd put Chimmelier up there due to the style and quality of the food! I highly encourage people to come try it if they're in the area!

But i wanted to try the wings as well! I got the 8-pc wing combo with fries and it was very tasty! The wings were big and crispy with a kick! I was only to manage to eat three pieces so I took the rest home! The fries was good but should have tried the other flavors! Overall, the food is flavorful, the place is small but cozy and with really good service! Will try other items next time!

To reiterate a quote printed on the complimentary paper napkins, ".. the chicken is on point ... I…read morecould eat it everyday ... " It's great, the food is really delicious. I ordered a 4-piece Krunch Box with jumbo tenders, mashed potatoes with gravy and a biscuit on the side. They even have their own branding of sauces, which were equally good. The portions were generous and I was satisfied after finishing just half of my order, saving the rest for a later time. I am a small person, with slightly less of an appetite than most others, but I went home with two meals from this order and it all amounted to about $12.61. The only thing making this meal less than perfect is too much gravy that ended up drowning the mashed potatoes, but this is only a personal preference. The next time I return, I'd be interested to try the jambalaya or mac & cheese sides, as well! I'd highly recommend this place to anyone, and even bring some visiting family members to this spot the next time they come around. The service is fast and straightforward. And I appreciate that it's located within the gas station, where you have many options for additional beverages or snacks on the way out. It's really a great spot, worth returning to many times over.

It's like KFC and Popeye's, but less stuff on the outside, more chicken on the inside. Very lightly spicy. And now they have COLES LAW! Buy gas, buy beer, buy fried chicken to go. Thanks, Mike, for bringing me. After my second visit, this quite possibly is "America's best-kept fast-food secret." If you choose to give a thumbs-up or not, I hope you found my review helpful!

It's a great location to check out whether you're eating in or getting takeout / delivery. Being a chain, I was looking forward to seeing how the quality of the food compares. First, I tried the onion rings and these are perfectly crispy and well-seasoned. The coating is not thick and still light, which holds onto the onion very well. Next, I tried the hot spicy whole chicken - the half portion. For the price and value, I really enjoyed it! The chicken pieces are all evenly coated in the sauce, which has a balance of both sweetness with a light kick to it. The breading of the chicken is also airy and not heavy at all. Despite the chicken being drenched in the sauce, I did not find the texture to become soggy at all. One pro tip is that if you have leftovers, I recommend popping them into the air fryer so that they remain crispy. I was able to try the wings of fire, which I was really hyped about. I was fully expecting the wings to be on a 'burning' spice level, but I was able to handle it! If you do have a lower spice tolerance, I would recommend using caution if you're trying it but for the spicy food lovers, it's not as extreme as I thought it would be because the sauce was also sweet. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it! Although it is advertised as having 8 wings total, I actually got an extra one so shout out to the workers! This completely exceeded my expectations - as one person, I even had leftovers and was able to make the food stretch into multiple meals. I'm so glad I finally got to try bb.q Chicken and I highly recommend checking it out if you're craving Korean fried chicken!

After trying my first Dave's in Pinole, this was my 2nd and had the same experience: consistent. This one is in El Cerrito Plaza Shopping Center by the BART station. I ordered Dave's # 2: Two sliders with fries and comes with pickles ($17.49). I chose the medium with heat options of No Spice, Little Mild, Mild, Medium, Hot, Extra Hot and Reaper. I also got a side of Kale Slaw ($4.59) and added a large Crispy Fried Pickles ($7.99). Mind you, this was a snack, so the sliders were the perfect size. One for me and one for the wifey and we shared the rest. The chicken is crispy on the outside but was simultaneously moist and tender inside. The heat level is basically how many (or how little) they sprinkled on the spice powder. The side of Kale Slaw provided a nice buffer to cut out the saltiness as it's a nice balance of crispy, fresh veggies with a sweet and tangy flavor. I also loved the side of pickles that came with the # 2. They're just plain pickles, and they were definitely better than the Crispy Fried Pickles (skip in my opinion). These were overly seasoned and salty to my liking. I ended up removing the breading just to get to the pickles inside. I also found the price to be too steep to justify the price and quantity that came with it. Overall, it's a solid sandwich that makes chicken right. Better than KFC, but not Popeye's and Jollibee.

They were very happy with their arugula salads. I ordered the mac n cheese which was okay. Even though I grew up in El Cerrito, I sometimes feel like my NorCal green card has expired.

(Although I have never liked arugula) This store is adorable and just the kind of independent neighborhood place that should be frequented and appreciated. Unfortunately I also had to use the bathroom and they don't have one for customers. So they recommended walking a block away to the BevMo. So I guess that added some negative feelings.

I do my best to support local businesses and Richmond pizza house makes that really easy. Always wonderful customer service!

We came here for lunch with our dear friend who lives in Hercules. I must have passed this place…read moreevery time I take San Pablo to Hwy4 East during the evening commute. Its a casual, Korean cafe located in a small strip mall and adjacent to Hernandez Park. The name is a bit of a misnomer. Yes they specialize in a variety of bone-in, Korean Fried Chicken with multiple flavor options. But turn the menu over and you'll see even more options for bento boxes, tofu soup, hot stone rice dishes (dolsot) and more. Service was fast and friendly, but don't overstay your welcome since the restaurant is small and very popular. Bulgolgi bento was awesome - it comes with ita own banchan, japchae, fried gyoza, and a food portion of beef that our 6yo som devoured by himself. Chicken Dolsot was also a solid dish - I like having veggies, carbs, and proteins all in one on a sizzling bowl with a fried egg. Wife and her bestie shared a half order of soy garlic KFC, which were large, crispy, and sticky. Its my favorite KFC flavor and wished we got a full order so I can have some more, LOL. Definitely keeping this place in mind for future visits. A good dinner takeout place if I ever need to work late from Richmond during evening commute.

I don't think it's on their take-out menu, but somehow I was able to locate it. Imagine lean, tender short ribs simmered in a clear broth, served with clear noodles. No need to spruce it up, as it is already flavored perfectly. I would say, it's the closest thing to homemade, without being homemade. The only downside is if you order on Door Dash, they don't tell you that the restaurant closes from 4pm to 4:30pm. But having had to wait outside in the cold, only made the soup that much better.

The wings were fried to perfection where the outside was crispy but the inside was so juicy and tender. But I didn't care for the glaze (which I believe is their "garlic soy glaze"), because it had a strong mustard flavor, which I totally didn't expect from the name. I was really expecting a savory and garlicky soy sauce flavor that would be balanced with a hint of sweetness. So the mustard flavor really took me by surprise and I wasn't a fan - If I had known they used mustard in that glaze, I wouldn't have ordered it. Service was nice and quite fast. I liked how after we placed our order, they pre-warned us that it might take them 20 mins to prepare the wings, although it turned out to be faster than 20 mins, which we appreciated :) The restaurant looks small from the outside but is so spacious on the inside. the restaurant was clean and organized.

Today I was driving through Novato and craving spicy fried chicken. I see most people get the sando from here but I like to just stick to the chicken and not let the bread get in the way! Ordered 2 half chicken light only, which means the wing + breast and then another half chicken that includes the wing + breast + leg + thigh = so altogether, both orders $54.62 It seems expensive considering a whole raw chicken is about $5 but they do some voodoo magic to their fried chicken at Hotboys -- the seasoning is delicious, batter is crispy, and meat inside is still juicy -- the breast meat goes well dipped in their special sauce and they bagged plenty for me! Service was excellent -- very friendly and accommodating! The music is hyped up so it can be a little loud. Bathrooms were very clean. I thoroughly enjoyed digging into my half chicken with my hands.
