Let’s Go Chimaek

Let’s Go Chimaek is a flavorful new gem in Riverside that open two months ago. I have always wanted to cry the Korean corndog, it was golden, crunchy, and filled with cheesy goodness. The Korean Wings were also good; I had honey and honey with soy cause. I’ll definitely be back to try more!

These are the original owners of chimaek house! We love this place so much more! Jessie and Brian are so welcoming and hospitable!! The food is so delicious and flavorful. The chicken comes out fresh, hot and crunchy yet still covered in sauce. If you don’t like chicken there’s so many other option to eat as well. You’ll always feel taken care of here. You also get water at your table in a cute container! Everyone is so nice! Support Let’s Go Chimaek!! 😋💜🐔

We had a great experience here. The wings were good, crunchy and full of flavor. We got the lemon pepper and spicy garlic bone in wings. The waffle fries were a big hit with the kids. The fried dumplings were top notch. We are excited to come back and try more items. The staff was incredibly friendly.

I love this spot because I lived in south Korea for 2 years and it brings back memories. They have good food they make it with love. It is fresh, delicious, and....food. its easy parking (for now). I got the bulgogi nachos and they are amazing. As well, they are in the process of getting beer so if your all about drinking that is another reason to try their food and have a good time.

Absolutely delicious and comforting food. The atmosphere provided a welcoming experience which was quite pleasant. The spicy level of the food definitely had a nice kick to it but nothing you couldn’t handle. The food was really great and the staff were friendly. Would recommend to come in and try out their delicious food

First time trying togo! definitely worth trying. Love having korean chicken near by. we’ll be back for more soon. I’d love to try dine in so i can have it fresh and crispy🍗

I'm not here to talk bad about this place; a situation came up that was interesting and I'm letting you guys be aware of it. This will be an honest yelp review, because this is something that needs to be addressed. I'm unsure how to feel about this. Everything is a 5/5, but this situation included I had to just give 3/5. Recently, my friend brought me to this Chimaek and the owner welcomes us with open arms. The owner kind of knows my friend, as my friend has brought other people here so she like a "regular" in a way. Honest -- I love the welcomes, foods, regularly checking up on us, and the service. Although the service is good, it's questionable. During the service, she had asked us if we were gonna order alcohol and we kindly denied. After a while, waiting for the food, she had re-asked us again and, again, we denied. However, she commented afterwards to order alcohol for her to drink. That was the first interesting incident. Now, the second one is very interesting. When it came to paying and signing the receipt, the owner was making conversation with my friend, thinking she was paying because the owner placed my card in front of her to sign. During this whole exchange the owner asked my friend, randomly, "Can I ask you a question? This is weird to ask this. Could I borrow some money to fix our soda machine because it's been broken?" This wasn't just a few dollars, more like a couple hundreds specifically. My friend kindly apologize and said no. My friend and I kind of laughed awkwardly and uneasy -- like what the heck just happened. To me, this situation, it made me uncomfortable as I've never had this type of interaction before anywhere. My friend wasn't sure what to feel because she wasn't sure if it was meant as a joke or genuine. We, both, left feeling uneasy. You may think why -- we aren't too sure either or if it's made up -- it's not as it happened to us. This was just a random day we wanted to grab dinner and this happened. We still don't know what the owner was going for because the owner is a lovely lady, which is why I stated her interactions with us were questionable. We decided to take a break from this location, but maybe revisit another time, later down the line. Aside from this, everything else is spot on. AGAIN -- Don't let this ruin the vibe of the restaurant, itself, just please be aware of your interactions or exchanged conversations since music is playing in the background.

I’m so glad I stopped by this place! what a wonderful surprise! The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and the portions are generous without sacrificing quality. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff truly go out of their way to make you feel at home. It’s the kind of restaurant that makes you want to come back again and again, not just for the food but for the hospitality.If you haven’t tried this spot yet, you’re genuinely missing out. It’s the perfect place for a relaxed meal, great service, and really good value. I hope more people discover it .Restaurants with this much heart absolutely deserve a full house. Plus they serve Soju!!!!!!!

Late review! Been here to the new location twice since Chimaek has been open and it's always a rad each time. The family and I have been long time customers since the previous location and we're honestly soo glad Chimaek has their own spot now! The menu is more extensive and haven't been let down yet. Once they've get the okay from the city for the alcohol license, this spot will be poppin'. Still, go anyways. Service is great! I went with the fried wings, I'm surprised I ate the them all! The parents got the tenders and boneless nugs, loved them. My sister loved the bulgogi beef. Music switches between KPOP and KRNB depending on the day you go. KPOP videos play on one screen while sports play on the other. There's also a tiny gacha section when you first walk in. Parking is located behind the building.

We followed them from their other location and the food for immensely better. We to get their DIY Rice Ball (spam), ddubokki, and of course their Bone-In Flavored Wings (Lemon Pepper and Soy Garlic). The service is impeccable and ambiance is nice as well. We ate the food before we could take a picture so I don't have any photos of the food.

New place with a slight expanded menu of Korean chicken , bulgogi and soups. The owners used to be at the other place on magnolia. They had to fight to get this open and the food is worth the wait.

This place is wonderful, the food is very tasty and the customer service is beyond amazing plus they are super friendly and sweet The place is very clean and the service was fast! I highly recommend going there. I know I'll definitely be going in there in the future for more yummy food!!

The food goes above and beyond! It's so delicious that I came back with my extended family. They all fell in love with the food too! The service also goes above and beyond! Our server was very attentive and the chef even came out to make sure we were all happy with our food. This is going to be a new favorite spot for us. I'm sure if you give it a try, it will be part of your rotation of favorites too.

Food was incredible. The chicken was ridiculously crispy and juicy, seasoning was spot on as well. Made to order and super fresh. The staff were super welcoming and attentive, service was fast and friendly.

This place is amazing, the food was very good and the customer service was far beyond amazing!! Hopefully soon they'll be getting their beer license. Definitely heading back for the food. Let's support our local businesses.

Gem in Jurupa Valley. The wings and spam fries are TASTY. Ordered the lemon pepper & soy garlic wing. Wingstop who?!!! The service was great; food came out in a reasonable time. I highly recommend people give this spot a chance. My dude and I will definitely be returning.

Came in for the first time to order take-out. I got 6 pc chicken tenders with soy garlic sauce and a side entree of Tteok-bokki. Chicken tenders were so juicy on the inside and were very tasty. Soaked in the sauce yet remained crispy. French fries were also amazing being fluffy and crisp. Tteok-bokki was very tasty, soft and chewy rice cakes drenched in a "not too" spicy sauce. Overall, everything tasted amazing. I'm definitely coming back here making this my regular KBBQ chicken spot in Riverside. I look forward to trying their whole menu.

Food if fresh and delicious. Service is great and the owner is so friendly! Stop by this place if you want some delicious Korean Fried Chicken!

It has been open roughly two weeks. Original owners from the one on magnolia. Great customer service. Just no beer yet I guess they're waiting on liquor license. Great Food!!

The food here is amazing. We came for my daughter's birthday and we arrived a half hour too early. They were so nice to allow us inside and sit while they got set up. Then, when the food arrived it was all delicious! Extremely friendly! GREAT service! GREAT food! Can't wait to come back.

Food was 10/10. The tenders were seasoned well, crispy, & juicy. My girlfriend really enjoyed the pasta, it was cheesy. The calamari was really crispy and paired well with the sauce. Overall the food was priced well, we will come back and try more.

Love the atmosphere, their Korean fried wings hit the spot for Thursday night football!

It was really yummy!! The portions are good the chicken was big and crispy and the rice cakes were delish. Owner and servers were also nice. The bathrooms were nice and clean which is a plus!! Will be coming back!!!
