"A Korean portmanteau and street food phenomenon called chimaek (chicken and beer) is the raison d’etre for this chain from Daegu, South Korea’s third-largest city. It continues to fill the demand for chicken chunks tossed in spicy and sticky-sweet gochujang and speckled with sesame seeds, having recently opened its third location at the Park The Carts pod on MLK. The compact menu features fried chicken in the form of traditional wings and their boneless counterparts, along with a whole bird option where the wings, thighs, drums, and so on, are chopped up into more finger-food-friendly forms." - Ron Scott, Thom Hilton

Chicken was flavorful and not overly breaded which I love. King rice good twist on the side. Interior fine for a quick lunch but nothing to seek out. I am very weak when it comes to spicy food but the soy garlic chicken was delicious, king rice was spicy for me. For those spice lovers out there, yes you can make fun of me for how pathetic I am.

I had avoided this place because of sticker shock from the platters. But I’ve been trying chicken wings all over and had never been here. The skin on their wings is so thick and crispy! I got the soy garlic wings, and it was like eating candy. Six wings, a mound of sticky rice, a small plastic container of radish and a 12-ounce IPA ran me $16. I go to Hollywood Theatre a lot and will definitely be stopping here again! They have an interesting packaged ramen section I want to try as well.

Loveddd the fried chicken here! I got three garlic and three hot (not extra hot). The hot were a little on the hot side for me (I order medium heat when I get spicy food usually, for context) but super tasty. Came with a side of sticky rice, and I got the sweet mayo dipping sauce with them, which went great.

The food was good. Not amazing. I would go again for lunch. When you first walk in, the place feels like a dump as they basically made their front room look like a back room. Once you pass the endless stacks of to go containers, you get to the restaurant. The staff was friendly and helpful.

My son and I absolutely LOVE Chimcking. The staff have treated us like family from the first time we came in. The wings are super crunchy, sticky, and just completely delicious. The wasa mayo is the perfect dipping sauce! We also really appreciate the reasonable prices and the option to get an extra small beer. Best spot in Hollywood!

These are probably the best wings I've had hands down. The soy garlic wings were on another level and the staff was super friendly and welcoming.

Full disclosure, I only ever get the garlic soy chicken and potato wedges but it is 100% THE BEST CHICKEN I can remember having. Everytime I have been in the Hollywood location restaurant it’s pretty quiet 1-2 other groups dinning. Several large screen TV often playing sports games or at times I heard K pop! It's more of a self serve style for getting water and busing the table. You must try this Korean Chicken, the crispy delicious outside is perfect.

Laura, the assistant manager is wonderful, kind and very smart. She is very friendly and as soon as you walk through the door she greet you with a smile and always ask how you were doing. She remembers my order all the time. I do not even have to say a word. I’ve been going there since they have open for the very first day.
