Yummy Korean Fried chicken! I tried the Korean sauce and the Snow rub on my combo #2 and it was amazing! My sauces dripped down to the fries so in the end I had Korean Snow fries which was like a bonus. I love that they come naked for you to dress as saucy as you want. Really enjoyed them and definitely had the itis afterwards. Want to return to try the popcorn chicken.

Finally, Wings made right. And cool sauce options. My new favorite wing spot in town. Not the best I've ever had but still darn good. The wings have a decent breading and are still crispy without being over breaded. Also not over cooked or undercooked. The inside is cool and updated. I like that there are different levels and I was sitting in the upper area. Very clean for a chicken joint. We really enjoyed the food and overall experience. The workers were so nice. We ordered their lunch specials. Wings please. Yes we got em. We got the combo that comes with 2 sauces each. I like their choices. Can't wait to come back for more wings. Maybe I'll try something else on the menu. Oh yea the exterior is actually cool also. But the parking, meh, this area your lucky to find close parking at darn near any day of time or week.

I have to say I went in with super high expectations. I’ve seen so many YouTube videos lately raving about Chi Mac. I would have loved to have the option of a sampler platter with two of each, to see what I like. There were two of us, and we bought the small Soy ginger, Thai jam, and Korean chicken with a side of cheese corn. The cheese corn was good, but definitely over priced. I would say, cut the portion into a quarter size and charge a quarter of the price. Maybe there might be more takers. It was served too large to be a side. Also, though it wasn’t busy, there was only one person taking orders, serving, and running the cash register. We waited over 20 min for our meal, so I can’t imagine how much worse it would be if the place were full (like when school starts up in the fall). The sauces were somewhat disappointing… the soy ginger was too salty, the Korean one was too heavy on the red pepper paste, and the Thai jam just tasted like it was covered in Thai chili sauce. The K-BBQ restaurant Lynnwood in the HMart plaza food court had Kalbi flavored wings that were outstanding, but their prices are even higher, and the min order amount without sides is 10 pieces. If you go with a friend, it’s not so bad. Overall, I think this restaurant is harming the Chi Mac reputation. If you are making Korean fried chicken, please do it to the Korean standards. It is ridiculous to think that students would pay such high prices for such mediocre food, so unless the food quality goes up, business will start going down.

Not sure what happened, whether the loss of the alcohol license impacted business. The wings quality have dropped significantly. I used to go here to get wings all the time back in mid 2018. The wings were pricey then, but they were beefy with a lot of seasoning. I ordered lately and it does not really hit the same. Wings are smaller. The seasonings are less. Price seems to gotten more expensive. Overall, I miss the old Chi Mac. Disappointed to leave this review myself as I used to be a regular. $12 for medium wings, now nearly $20.

My fault, I am not familiar with Korean food and they were about to close, so the popcorn chicken was not available. I ordered 2 side dishes that cost me more than $30 Geez! I agree with some comments that they should offer a smaller size for a more convenient price and I read on the menu: corn with spicy mayo, sound good but they forgot to mention all that sugar syrup, I wish I knew would be that sweet, I wouldn’t have ordered. That’s why I think it should have been better to get a smaller size. I also got a fried rice with a very sweet sausage. It’s that common for Koreans to eat so much sugar? I don’t know. Thanks anyways for a new experience

This place hasn't had beer for at least 2 years since getting their license revoked. The staff must get complaints all day long that their huge sign out front saying CHICKEN AND BEER is false advertising. Korean flavoured chicken wings are decent. Other stuff not-so-great. Also can't split flavours with single order. Price increased has increased alot in past 2 years. EDIT: out of our party, one had mild upset stomache and another severe food poisoning to the point of throwing up. Will not come again.

My favorite wings on the ave. Probably top two within Seattle and top three in Washington. No more alcohol due to some incident two years ago, but they're working on getting their license back. Staff here is often lively, friendly, and chatty. Much of the time they're students as well so it's interactive. Dropping this rating a bit because there is inconsistency in the wing sizes. I'm spoiled when I get the large wings and drumsticks that look like a chicken was on steroids. Sometimes I get disappointed when I get flats that are so small all the meat is eaten in one bite. Also, my most recent visit I had something in my corn cheese (shown). Couldn't quite tell if it was a bone or what but it was hard and yellow. Kind of suspicious but I'll let it slide. The corn cheese here is one of my favorites around town. I haven't found one that impresses me as much but I'm still trying. I order a corn cheese everytime I visit and it's perfect, cheesey goodness. They butter it perfectly and the ratio is the best across the state. House fried rice is pretty standard as much as fried rice goes, but I have some friends who love it so we order it often. It's nice to pair with the chicken, but definitely not necessary as the chicken itself is just fantastic. Snow Wings are addicting. The garlic parmesan is a must have and simply delicious with or without the chicken. I'll even get some of the little sprinkles or crumbs to eat. I'm a big fan of dry rubs though so that's part of it. Soy Garlic Wings are a great choice for more wet wings. They're a bit sweet and also fairly addicting. Those two are my favorite wings for dry and wet respectively. I don't care too much for the spicy but they now have Korean Hot Sauce available at tables. It's the same sauce they use in their Korean Wings so you can just add it to whatever wings you get and get a similar experience.

This place has a great vibe. Atmosphere is laid back with good music in the background. The Korean chicken wings are delicious. The skin is nice and crispy. The meat is tender and juicy. The sauce is flavorful and just the right type of spicy. Not overpowering and doesn’t burn your tongue off. I highly recommend the chili jam wings.
