Listen up my gorgeous glamazons! This queen has some piping hot tea to spill about a casual little eatery called Chic n' Time that is going to completely gag you with how fabulous it is.
I sashayed in there just expecting a basic little counter situation to grab a quick bite, but they read me for filth with the quality of their food offerings. Who knew this unassuming spot was hiding such fierce culinary talents, am I right?
We started with these peppercorn chicken wings that instantly vogued their way into my heart. That crispy exterior was construction realness, while the inside was dripping in juicy, well-seasoned flavor with just the right amount of peppery zing. These wings have all the fancy places shook, trust.
Then came the popcorn chicken which was practically a religious experience, ladies. Each delicate little morsel was swaddled in the most delicate yet crunchy shell that opened up to tender, savory chicken goodness inside. I literally could not stop devouring them - they were that divalicious!
To help extinguish the fire, we gulped down one of their signature bubble teas and it was absolutely everythiiiiing. The creaminess and refreshing notes were living in such harmonious unity without being too sweet and desperate for attention. The balance? Perfection!
Even though Chic n' Time is giving very casual vibes with the counter setup, the food quality is truly top tier and ready for the runway. They're elevating grab-and-go to a whole other level up in there.
And can we take a moment for the vibe? I live for these laidback, fuss-free hangouts where you can just strut in and get what you need without the pageantry and drama. It's ideal for when those snack attack cravings hit hard.
Long story short, the food had me so gagged that a re-wife is already on the calendar to keep exploring their delectable Asian-inspired snack and drink selections. If you want casual but utterly fierce eats, Chic n' Time is a definite must-visit! Mama has spoken, so you better...
Read moreAfter taking advantage of First Sunday's at the Asian Art Museum, I had a sudden craving for garlic noodles. I knew I was going to be in the Mission later that day. So after an internet search, found Chic n' Time.
Indoor dining is allowed at limited capacity, so they have probably around 4 tables available inside. But they also have outdoor seating if you want to eat outside. I chose their entree with garlic noodles and five-spice chicken. Even though I hadn't eaten anything all day, I felt that the portions were enough for two people. I definitely couldn't saved half for later.
The garlic noodles were egg noodles, and had just enough garlic to satisfy that craving without being overpowered. And it wasn't oily either, which is what I liked. The five-spice chicken was flavorful, and the skin had a good crunch. Heck, even the broccoli was good too!
And out of the blue, one of the employees gave me fried tofu to try. She was confident I'd like them, and she was right! The tofu was a bit silky, and the breading had a good crunch. I really liked the dipping sauce, that I could've drank it. And she also refilled my water, which was much allr
I am definitely coming back to try their fried chicken, which she also recommended. And I'll try their drinks, too, which...
Read moreChic n' Time is a welcome addition to Valencia's Restaurant Row. If you're in neighborhood, or even if you're not, Chic n' Time is well worth your time and taste buds. The chicken here, as you'd expect, is great. It's tasty and cooked in various ways. We initially got the chicken steak and popcorn chicken, and both were absolutely delicious, and came back a week later for more chicken steak, and tried the garlic noodles, chicken wings, and boba tea. It all tasted fantastic. The chicken is rich with flavor, juicy, and the spice mix on top can't be beat. Chic n' Time is new to the area, and it's now on the top of our list whenever we crave chicken. Our three year old loved the popcorn chicken, and I loved the juicy chicken steak. The garlic noodles are second only to Thanh Long, and that's saying a lot; best on this side of town for sure. There are other places to buy chicken nearby, but Chic n' Time is the no brainer top choice by far. Mike, the owner, is very friendly, and reminds us why we love and support...
