K-ChiMac — Restaurant in Richfield

Finally got the chance to pop in and oh my goodness it's SO good. I ordered a whole chicken with half plain and half soy garlic($27 + $2 for the sauce), tteokbokki($14), and 2 milkis drinks($3 each), with the total cost coming to $51 and tax.

The whole chicken came with the chicken (surprise), fries, muu (pickled daikon radish), and dipping salt, which was enough to satisfy 2 people and still have leftovers. It comes straight out of the fryer and onto the table (piping hot and crunchy), and they even provide a tin for the bones! The plain seasoning highlights the chicken's natural taste and tenderness (with a hint of nutmeg in the batter), which tasted amazing dipped in the tteokbokki sauce, while the soy garlic was sweet and full of umami, going well with the muu or by itself.

The tteokbokki was a last-minute add-on, but it still came out with the main order! It came packed with both fish and rice cakes, as well as shredded carrot, cabbage, onion, and green onion, while still bringing in a gentle spice within the sauce.

Milkis is milkis (can't go wrong), and they offer plenty of flavors, although 3 dollars per can feels like a bit of a stretch.

The service was super quick and friendly, and the store was super clean! The bathrooms were also pretty good, and they provided a baby changing table (instead of the ones that fold away) in both bathrooms. The only reason the atmosphere is rated 4/5 is because it was so empty, but hopefully more and more people will be dining in the future!

All in all, I lived my k-mukbang dreams in this store, and they will absolutely be...

As of June 2025 - they are having a soft opening. That means any negative reviews around this time should be taken with a grain of salt. They are working out the kinks.

Our experience was good. It was hard to shake off the décor since I was so used to the previous business that was there. I didn't quite understand if it was fast casual or a full restaurant experience. It seems to be pulling for a full restaurant experience right now and it worked out well.

We got three dishes. Some spicy wings, spicy pork, and a chicken dish. They all tasted great and the amount of food was decent. Spicy means spicy here (big plus!)

A bit of warning - it appears that the majority of food is deep fried and breaded. This is definitely a place to go if you are craving those type of dishes. It was hard to find something on the menu that wasn't deep fried that I wanted. This reinforced the confusion about whether this was fast casual or a restaurant. The deep fried items overwhelmed any other options in terms of numbers.

The meal came with 3 smaller apps that I'm assuming were Korean inspired. I recognized the Kimji but did not recognize the other two. Two of the three were spicy but all were fun to eat and tasted good.

Overall - worth a try. I'll update with any future experiences at this location. Definitely an upgrade from the...

Tried out this spot for dinner with my boyfriend and it was delicious!

For their soft opening, I would say they are doing well and our waiter was very nice!

We got a variety of dishes to try. We did the half and half whole chicken — yangnyeom spicy and original. It’s a whole chicken cut up into pieces. You get wings, thighs, breast, etc. The original is breading (not saucy) and it was good! It let us know how the chicken really tasted like without sauce. It was juicy. The yangnyeom flavor was sweet and spicy sauce drizzled on the original. I love sweet and spicy and it definitely had a kick to it! There’s also a choice for mild. The plate came with some fries and that surprised us. We definitely enjoyed them with our meal.

We also got the 8 piece soy garlic. My boyfriend says he likes it better than bonchon! Lol

The tteokbokki tasted different than what I’m used to but it wasn’t bad! I think it has too much black pepper but other than that, it’s very herby and spicy. It’s a good portion of rice cakes, fish cake and a lot of veggies (onions, green onions, carrots).

My boyfriend did notice that the men’s restroom lock didn’t work but there was a urinal and toilet next to each other so he was confused if it was a private bathroom or not.

Overall, very clean, organized, yummy dishes, &...
